Chapter 359 - Three Days Without Him (1/2)

Jing Yi continued to lie in the darkness, unable to fall asleep again. His thoughts were circling around what he had seen just now and what he might still see in the future.

He hadn't absorbed much of the spiritual energy of the Fractured Crystal Leaf before he noticed that something was wrong. After that, he had immediately stopped. So it couldn't be much energy that he had taken in. In turn, there shouldn't be many things he would remember because of that, either, right?

Furthermore, he might have remembered something concerning that man just now but the memory before that had been about something entirely different. He definitely wouldn't be so unlucky so as to only remember him. In fact, it was probably highly unlikely to remember much concerning that person.

Just think about it: The spiritual energy of the herb was stored in the leaves. If what senior martial brother Yu said was true and one would remember one's whole life after taking the spiritual energy in, then there would be seven parts to remember about that life with each leaf accounting for one of them. Two of the leaves had been missing in the first place so there were two parts he would never remember.

The other five parts of his life … They couldn't solely consist of memories of that man, could they? He certainly had had parents and friends in that life, too. They should make up a big part of his memories.

After thinking it through, Jing Yi felt much calmer and closed his eyes again. Ah, it would be better if he got over with it as soon as possible. He should try to exhaust the absorbed spiritual energy as early as possible.

Then he could concentrate on helping senior martial brother Yu or cultivate to become stronger and then help him. Wouldn't Qiu Ling be really proud of him if he returned stronger than before? Then he could also show him that he didn't need to be too nervous. See? He could persist on his own …

While thinking about his fiance Jing Yi finally fell asleep again. It was a pity that he neither understood the effects of the Fractured Crystal Leaf thoroughly nor had any idea how crown prince Jing He's life had been which rendered all his assumptions null and void.

The first memories the Fractured Crystal Leaf evoked were those laden with emotions, the most memorable moments of that past life because those were the ones linked the closest with the soul.

And the life of crown prince Jing He … There weren't many people in it. Disregarding his parents and uncle, who else was there besides a certain shameless dragon king that had pestered him for a decade before finally getting his wish? Naturally, his most memorable moments were to a large degree connected to that person. Thus, it was rather a question of when he saw which one of those memories with Qiu Ling and not if he saw them at all.

This time he got lucky though. When he opened his eyes it wasn't his past life's lover that awaited him but the face of a beautiful woman.

Jing Yi was stunned. Just who was she? He had never before seen such a person. She was beautiful and dressed very elegantly in an apricot-colored dress. Her eyes were filled with laughter and love when she looked back at him.

”So, what is it you're worried about?” She gently grasped his arm, making Jing Yi feel a special kind of warmth.

Mn, this was very much like how his mother had always treated him …

Unfortunately, his past self lowered his gaze and didn't continue to look at her. ”I …” He sounded hesitant and Jing Yi could feel just how hesitant he really was. There was a dull pain in his chest and it seemed to grow worse the longer he kept quiet.

The woman next to him didn't say anything either and just accompanied him silently, waiting for him to speak first.
