128-28 Remembering the Palace
128-28 Remembering the Palace
Mo Bei entered the deep valley at the summit, where a girl was sleeping on a table. Mo Bei went over and gently shook her awake. The girl quickly sat up, saying, "Oh, okay, gurgle gurgle, my sword and shield." Mo Bei listened to her rambling, waiting for her to fully wake up.
After babbling for a while, the girl suddenly chuckled, "Hehe, you're flat-chested too." Mo Bei assumed it was just a dream. The girl suddenly tilted her head, then quickly became serious and said, "I'm Xing, the receptionist for Extreme Peaks and Deep Valleys. Welcome back." She reached into the table, flipped a switch, and the door behind her opened. Mo Bei thanked her and went inside. Xing just smiled and looked at him.
The doors closed, revealing an elevator enclosed by transparent glass. Mo Bei gazed at the scenery as the elevator slowly descended, finally opening its doors after several minutes to reveal a bustling city.
Mo Bei walked along the road, looking around, searching for traces of the Evil Devourer: there were many people here, some flying in the sky, some walking on the ground, and some swimming in the water.
Bubbling appeared on the surface of the water on one side, and a ball of flame swept towards him from within. Mo Bei was about to draw his Frosty Night Shadow sword but realized he couldn't; he was immediately overwhelmed by the flame. The flame retreated, and Mo Bei paused for a second, then looked at the flame, feeling an inexplicable sense of revulsion: on the left side of the flame were wings woven from intertwined lightning and fire, and its entire body was surrounded by flames. Moreover, it was actually of the same element as him.
Mo Bei touched his head and stood up, feeling a bit of pain. Had he become weak? But entering this new dungeon and receiving a pet was nice.
The flame silently accompanied Mo Bei. Mo Bei asked, "What are you?" The flame seemed disappointed upon hearing this, murmuring, "My master deliberately forgot about me..." But it soon reignited: "I am Su Guang, Miss Xie's summoned creature (beast spirit)!" Mo Bei reached the water's edge, just about to ask who Miss Xie was, when she received the answer from her reflection in the water.
Mo Bei, recalling the "young lady" persona she'd acquired through her online gaming skills, mimicked it: "Well... this young lady has amnesia and can't find her way home." Upon hearing this, Su Guang's flames momentarily ceased burning, then he solemnly declared, "Yes, sir! I will obey Miss Xie's orders! I will take Miss Xie home!"
Along the way, while Su Guang admired the scenery in Mo Bei, he introduced her to everyone: Xie Yunshu was born into the Xie family, the second largest family in the extreme peaks and deep valleys. The Xie family had two high-ranking officials, one of whom, Xie Ye, was Xie Yunshu's biological father. Mo Bei listened, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "Looks like she's become a pampered heiress this time."
Xie Yunshu is 18 years old; Mo Bei can tell from her reflection.
Mo Bei looked at the Thunder Flame in his hand and asked Su Guang, "Where's the spiritual power?" Su Guang replied that her spiritual power was Thunder Flame - Ming Style, and her permanent summon was Su Guang. At the same time, beast spirits do not have weapons, only a talisman, and the talisman is Yi Xuan - Yi Yu Xia Hua.
Then there's: birthday June 17th, weight 93.62 jin (41.8 catties), height 155 cm.
Mo Bei fiddled with a bow, liking pretty and cute things ("Poor Su Guang is disliked..." Su Guang was sad, and Mo Bei comforted him), while also being a little arrogant, playful, and seeking thrills, often robbing the rich to help the poor, especially his own family ("Is this right?" Mo Bei thought), and also liked playing with Ace's affections, doing it at night... (Su Guang was forcibly muted, is this something he can say?)
Mo Bei looked at Xie Yunshu's body. How come the original owner's summoned creatures could see everything she did?
A garden slowly came into view.
As Mo Bei entered, a group of servants rushed towards him, both men and women, all wearing collars engraved with Xie Yunshu's name. Some held umbrellas for Mo Bei, some held small air conditioners to cool him down, some knelt down to hold his shoes, others set up chairs, and still others brought iced drinks or sweets—everything was taken care of. Our Mo Bei had never been treated like this before.
Mo Bei said, "I want to go back to my bedroom." One of the servants took out a button, and the Xie family mansion in the sky slowly materialized. Two staircases intertwined and extended downwards, finally landing at Mo Bei's feet. Standing on it, he discovered that the Xie family mansion occupied millions of square meters, with nearly a million square meters of green space alone.
The servant followed her to the door and then withdrew. Mo Bei followed Su Guang back to her 100-square-meter bedroom, lying on the bed lost in thought. Su Guang had been locked out because Xie Yunshu had previously restricted her access. Mo Bei turned and rummaged through the cabinets, trying to find something useful. After moving a book called "Records of Strange Tales," she found a small box. She pressed a button and immediately shut the box down; it contained something that couldn't be played.
Mo Bei breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that she had reacted quickly enough to prevent the book from being taken down. At that moment, Tian Shou received a message from Xie Yunshu's friend, Xie Xuan.
Mo Bei clicked to view the message; it was a voice message: "Sister Yun Shu, there's a really fun place." Mo Bei instinctively replied, "Where?" Xie Xuan then told her to go downstairs. Mo Bei rolled over once, then felt her way off the bed, put on her shoes, and went outside. Su Guang saw her and followed.
As soon as they reached the bottom, Xie Xuan opened his door, which appeared before Mo Bei. Mo Bei stepped inside, and before Su Guang could follow, the door closed, extinguishing the flames slightly: "So, Master was just faking amnesia..."
When I opened my eyes again, I was in the Palace of Memories. The corridor was empty, except for the Cup of Memories in the very center.
Xie Xuan was explaining, "This is the Palace of Memories..." Mo Bei ignored him, thinking himself very clever. Now, Mo Bei was regretting his earlier recklessness—of course, this is a common, forced "idiocy" trope in novels.
The Cup of Memories in the Palace of Memories shimmered with light, seemingly surrounded by a shadowy aura, from which fragments of memories, or slices, flowed. Mo Bei walked straight over, pressed her hand against a slice, and felt the weight flowing through it.
Long Yi died on a quiet night. The Evil Blood Ring fell to the ground, reflecting the six red lights of the treasure vault.
Mo Bei never expected to experience firsthand something she had only learned about in her astrology and calendar classes. After recovering, she decided to change Long Yi's fate, initially concluding that someone had murdered her.
Mo Bei hurriedly asked Xie Xuan to take it back, and Xie Xuan did so, opening the door. Mo Bei passed through the door, and Su Guang rushed over anxiously, still saying, "Is Master alright?" He then knocked the butler to the ground, causing a book titled "The First Starry Sky" to fall from the butler's hand.
Mo Bei replied, "It's nothing." Then she stepped forward, bent down, and picked up the book, noticing a passage: "Slices cannot be passed down, for the sake of the world's way, to pave the way for the future, for the correct ending, that is, everything is predetermined by the universe, no one can change it, destined to perish..." After returning it to the butler, she asked Su Guang, "This book seems quite interesting, what is it about?" Su Guang replied, "This book was written by Xing, it's about the existence of slices that are not allowed to be passed down, because it would disturb the universe's past, future, and present, because everything in the universe is a slice, following a predetermined path, and everything that obstructs..." At this moment, Mo Bei entered the room, interrupting Su Guang's voice.
