Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 899

Chapter 899: Chapter 700: "I Remember Now" (Part 3)

Later, it became the part of the memory familiar to Xue Yinzhou. Although they fled to the Beast World Continent to temporarily avoid danger, the truth couldn’t be covered up, and their whereabouts were eventually revealed. The pursuit never stopped.

Later, the old man died saving him.

And the young Xue Yinzhou, whose power of the Ghost Snake Clan was sealed and had no ability to protect himself, eventually ended up in a slave market until he was redeemed by Shen Tang, the Empire Princess at the time.

After that, came the past events in the Polluted Land.

Past memories, like scrolls of paintings, unfolded scene by scene in Xue Yinzhou’s mind.

Finally, the recollections reached that legendary Star Gate battle.

In that battle, Xue Yinzhou witnessed his partner’s death with his own eyes. He lost all hope and did not want to survive alone, so he didn’t stay on that continent but left through the Star Gate with the Ghost Snake Clan, heading to Eris Star.

At that time, Xue Yinzhou was no different from a madman, his mind filled with destructive killing intent, wishing to annihilate all members of the Ghost Snake Clan, to destroy the Hand of Creation.

He wanted to avenge Shen Tang’s death.

But his strength was not enough, far from enough.

So, he began to cultivate the Bone of Devouring, aiming to become the strongest person in the world.

Strong enough to have no weaknesses, no enemies.

Only then could he avenge her.

Even though Xue Yinzhou had not recovered his childhood memories and did not know about his origins, he had gradually sensed over the years that the Bone of Devouring also consumes one’s emotions.

The deeper the cultivation, the duller the emotions become.

The former Xue Yinzhou, because he had a deep love, didn’t want to lose this emotion, didn’t want to lose the capacity for love and desire, so he always exercised restraint, never intending to fully cultivate the Bone of Devouring.

But when he witnessed Shen Tang’s death, it felt as if his heart died along with her, and emotions became the most useless burden, a hindrance to revenge.

Thus, he eventually embarked on the path of cultivating the Bone of Devouring.

But the greatest taboo of the Bone of Devouring is emotion.

His longing for his deceased partner never faded away; instead, it grew deeper with time, filled with endless love, guilt, and regret.

Moreover, it was precisely because of his extreme emotion for her, and to avenge her, that he cultivated the Bone of Devouring.

Intense, profound emotions and the path of ruthlessness are incompatible.

In the end, Xue Yinzhou, eager for quick success, was consumed by his inner demons and suffered a backlash.

And just when he was at his weakest, he was found by Xue Xiaoyuan and the female member of the Parasite Clan. They seized the flaw, using the Illusion Technique to plant a Gu Worm in him, altering his memory. Thus, "Xue Yansi" was born, leading to everything that followed.

Now, all of it.

He remembered everything.

Shen Tang turned to look at Xue Yinzhou, asking softly, "Are you okay?"

Xue Yinzhou stood up from the ground. At this point, there was no more agony on his face, though he still looked somewhat pale, and the hair on his forehead was damp with sweat, but his condition had improved significantly, appearing normal again.

Xue Yinzhou gazed at her dazedly, those profound, limpid purple eyes seemed to hold too many complex emotions, leaving him momentarily at a loss for words.

Shen Tang paused for a moment as she met his gaze.

While Xue Yinzhou previously chose to trust her, willing to believe in their past connection, after all, without former memories, there was still a lack of deep emotion.

But now, his eyes were brimming with boundless tenderness, longing, and surging love, making Shen Tang momentarily forget to breathe.

Could it be...

Shen Tang’s heart suddenly beat rapidly. In the moment she took a step towards him, Xue Yinzhou had already dashed forward, pulling her tightly into his embrace.

So forcefully, as if wanting to merge her into his very bones, never to be separated again.

His thin lips brushed against her ear, speaking in a raspy voice, "I remember now."

"Everything, I remember it all."

He buried his face in her neck, holding her tighter, his deep, hoarse voice full of remorse and longing,

"...I’m sorry, it’s my fault, I forgot you."
