Chapter 15 Memory Loss

Bang!

Qiao Yu threw a punch. With a buff of 888 attack points, the head of the grey swordfish lunging at Qin Xuan exploded.

Qin Xuan was dumbfounded.

"Are you okay, Xuan-er? Didn't scare you, did I?" Qiao Yu patted Qin Xuan, whose face darkened even more.

"Come on." Qiao Yu patted the stone pillar. "Eat in peace, don't be afraid. I'll take care of the grey swordfish for you."

Qin Xuan clenched and unclenched his fists. He wished he could smash Qiao Yu's smiling face, but he restrained himself.

Under everyone's gaze, Qin Xuan slowly lowered his head, opened his mouth revealing his pearly white teeth, and bit down on the grey stone pillar beneath his feet.

Wanli Hao: "?"

Gao Hongyi: "!"

Body Cultivation Class One: "っﾟДﾟ)っ!"

Body Cultivation Class Two: "(・｀w´・)"

Even Qiao Yu was taken aback. He only wanted to mock Qin Xuan and tell him to behave.

He didn't expect Qin Xuan to be so ruthless; he actually gnawed on the stone pillar!

After taking a few bites, Qin Xuan stood up expressionlessly.

There's only a first time and countless times for cross-dressing. It's the same with embarrassment; Qin Xuan had completely accepted it.

He leaped and continued towards the next stone pillar, coldly uttering a sentence.

"Qiao Yu, you need to understand, I'm not afraid of you. It's just that as a son of the Qin family, I will definitely do what I say. I've remembered today's matter!"

Hmm? Still unconvinced?

Qiao Yu raised an eyebrow. "Qin Xuan, didn't you say you would eat this stone pillar? You only took a few bites and want to skimp on it?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Xuan slipped and fell straight into the sea.

It was hard to tell if he did it on purpose or if the pillar was too slippery.

Qiao Yu shook his head, not wanting to argue with Qin Xuan anymore.

With Qin Qianxue's connection, he couldn't really do anything to Qin Xuan.

At that moment, a long-lost familiar voice rang in Qiao Yu's mind.

"There's something very powerful on the opposite mountain."

Qiao Yu's body stiffened instantly, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Xiao Ji! Are you finally back?" Qiao Yu shouted in his heart.

"I've been in your body all along; I never left," the Mechanical Empress replied.

"Tell me quickly! What happened after that!"

Qiao Yu was extremely anxious. He didn't care about what was on the opposite mountain; he only cared about his missing memories.

"Qiao Yu... I'm sorry, I can't tell you," the Mechanical Empress replied hesitantly.

"Why?" Qiao Yu asked in shock and anger.

"When the pseudo-Underworld dungeon collapsed, it caused the main will of the Reverse World to focus its attention there. In order not to be discovered, I had to go into hibernation."

"Therefore, I'm not very clear about what happened afterward," the Mechanical Empress said slowly.

Qiao Yu lowered his head, seemingly deep in thought.

After a while, the Mechanical Empress spoke again.

"But I can tell you that losing that memory wasn't an accident; it was deliberate."

"Deliberate?" Qiao Yu asked.

"Yes, that girl named Zuo You... sealed your memory. She doesn't seem to want you to remember her," the Mechanical Empress said.

Qiao Yu was silent. For some reason, he felt as if an invisible hand was pulling his heart down, making his chest feel heavy.

At that moment, several grey swordfish, not knowing whether they were dead or alive, leaped out of the water and attacked Qiao Yu.

They became the best outlet for Qiao Yu's emotions.

Qiao Yu clenched his fists, and the Skeleton King's Ring activated.

Although these grey swordfish were monsters in a C-grade dungeon, their combat power decreased significantly after leaving the seawater.

The fastest grey swordfish was directly pulverized by Qiao Yu's punch!

The grey swordfish behind them were no exception; each and every one of them was smashed by Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu stood on the grey stone pillar, like an invincible war god, frantically slaughtering the grey swordfish.

The students behind him were dumbfounded, and even Gao Hongyi couldn't help but nudge Wanli Hao.

"Hey, Lao Wan, where did you pick up this freakish student?"

"He was playing with blood in the Dark Forest, spraying it wherever he went. Now that we're at Grey Spirit Twin Peaks, he's stopped spraying blood and started playing with grey swordfish?"

"Didn't we bring them to Grey Spirit Twin Peaks to train their agility?"

Faced with Gao Hongyi's three consecutive questions, Wanli Hao's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"I don't have the ability to find such talent. This guy was specially recruited by Principal Ji Pingyang himself."

"Oh! Specially recruited by Principal Ji. That explains it!"

Gao Hongyi nodded, then asked with some confusion.

"Speaking of which, why is he just using basic attacks? Is he that confident? He's not using a single skill."

"Well... it's not that he doesn't want to use them, it's that he can't," Wanli Hao replied.

"Why?" Gao Hongyi pressed.

"Because he's not a body cultivator at all; he's a necromancer."

Gao Hongyi: "???????????"

Meanwhile, Qiao Yu, who was constantly throwing punches, was consuming a lot of stamina. His fists could no longer kill the grey swordfish, and he could only knock them away.

Finally, an exhausted Qiao Yu fell from the grey stone pillar.

Thump!

The icy seawater submerged Qiao Yu.

All sounds were blocked out, leaving only the gurgling of water in his ears.

"Zuo You, why are you hiding from me? Why won't you let me remember you?"

Qiao Yu opened his eyes in the water, desperately trying to recall memories about the name Zuo You. The bizarre purple-black纹路 patterns lit up on his head again.

Qiao Yu painfully opened his mouth, but no sound came out underwater. The seawater gurgled into his mouth, and he gradually lost consciousness.

"I told you not to let the patient leave the hospital. The patient's brain hasn't fully recovered. See, something happened!"

"I'm sorry, doctor. I'll definitely keep an eye on him and not let him run around. I'm sorry to trouble you."

Qiao Yu slowly opened his eyes, and a familiar scene came into view.

Once again, he woke up in a hospital room.

"Qiao Yu, you're awake?" a girl's delighted voice rang out.

Fang Yuan walked over quickly and reached out to touch Qiao Yu's forehead.

Then, she breathed a sigh of relief, her ample chest rising and falling gently.

"Phew! Good, it's not as hot as it was just now."

"You were so scary when you first arrived at the hospital. Your whole head was burning hot. The doctor measured it at 48.9°C; they almost issued a death certificate for you."

"How are you here?"

Qiao Yu asked, only to find that his voice was terribly hoarse.

"Your friends Yang Xiangdi and Ma Fei notified me to come," Fang Yuan replied, while holding a glass of water and handing it to Qiao Yu. "Be careful, it might be a little hot."

"Thank you."

Qiao Yu thanked her, took the glass, and slowly drank.

Fang Yuan chattered on beside him.

"Qiao Yu, you have to stay in bed for a while this time. If your teacher hadn't discovered you fainted in the sea in time, you might have really died in the sea."

"This time, you obediently heal all your injuries before leaving the hospital, okay? Also, what kind of soup do you want to drink tomorrow? I'll make it for you..."

Just then, a loud noise interrupted Fang Yuan's words.

Bang!

The door of the ward was kicked open violently, slamming heavily against the white wall of the hospital.
