Chapter 74: Who loves me, Snake or Snake Dad?

The royal palace medical room of the independent kingdom of Sisana.

Yu Li walked quickly in the corridor, and Pu Lan followed behind him. He could clearly see the slight redness on his earlobes.

Yu Li didn't say much since he boarded the flight back home, but the expectation and anxiety in his eyes could be seen even in his silence.

"Your Majesty, the blood donor is already waiting inside."

The voice of the palace guard interrupted Yu Li's thoughts.

He stood at the door of the medical room and hesitated to push it open.

It’s alpha, why can’t I sense his spirit body?

The anticipation in my heart was instantly dashed.

He kind of didn't want to believe what was happening, which meant he was actively trying to find out.

He released a little pheromone and consciously floated in to sense, but still did not sense the breath of any spiritual body.

Even if Qi Sheng's Black Mamba spirit body is more restrained, there will still be a subtle sense of oppression.

The person in the room only had ordinary alpha pheromones on his body, as bland as a glass of boiled water.

Not him.

This thought hit Yu Li's heart like a stone, making him lose his strength in an instant.

He didn't say anything, turned around and walked in the opposite direction. He was afraid that if he stayed for another second, the disappointment in his eyes would be unbearable.

"Your Majesty?" Plan hurried to follow. "Aren't you going to go in and take a look? Or have you encountered some problem?"

"No need." Yu Li's voice was a little soft, but his steps did not stop.

Just after taking two steps, a familiar voice suddenly came from the medical room, a little impatiently: "Yueyue, don't be angry, it's my fault, I will keep my mouth shut from now on, okay..."

Read?

Yu Li's footsteps suddenly stopped.

Before Plan could react, the door of the medical room was pushed open and Jing Yue walked out wearing a white coat. The moment he saw Yu Li, his pupils suddenly contracted.

"Yu Li?" Jing Yue's voice trembled.

The next second he rushed forward and hugged Yu Li, "It's really you! I thought... I thought I would never see you again!"

Yu Li was dazed by his embrace, and the familiar pheromone smell of Timothy grass on Jing Yue lingered on her nose.

His eyes instantly turned red.

He patted Jingyue's back, his voice choked with sobs: "I've been looking for you too...but you, why are you here?"

"Wenxi and I came here together to help Qi Sheng..." Before Jing Yue could finish his words, Zhai Wenxi walked out of the medical room.

Seeing the two people hugging each other, he was stunned at first, and then showed an exaggerated expression of surprise: "Oh my God! Yu Li! Your Majesty! It's really you!"

Yu Li:...?

Then what’s the point of me waiting outside Zhai Wenxi’s house for ten hours?

—

The three of them sat in the reception room of the palace, and the butler brought them hot tea.

Yu Li held the warm cup and listened to Zhai Wenxi's intermittent narration of the past two years.

Zhai Wenxi: "I almost recognized you last time during the King's Parade. I thought you looked so similar. I was wondering how there could be two people in the world who looked so similar. I never thought it was really you, and you became king."

Jing Yue looked at his exaggerated expression and reminded him, "Let's talk business."

Seeing that they seemed to be in conflict, Yu Li took the initiative to mediate: "Jingyue, it's okay. I actually took this position temporarily by chance. I will explain it to you later. Can you tell me about... Qi Sheng first?"

Zhai Wenxi and Jing Yue looked at each other, and Zhai Wenxi said, "Let me tell you."

"After you broke up with Qi Sheng, he looked for you like crazy."

Zhai Wenxi's tone was unusually serious. "He searched the entire Saar Federation but couldn't find you. Later, he went to several neighboring countries, but it was as if you had disappeared from the face of the earth. He couldn't find you anywhere..."

"Later, the people of the Saar Federation Freedom Alliance suddenly revolted. In order to protect the evacuation of personnel, Brother Qi Feng was besieged in the government building by the Freedom Alliance. Qi Sheng led mercenaries to rescue him, but it was too late..."

Zhai Wenxi paused, a trace of regret flashing in his eyes. "Later, in the building, Qi Sheng was scratched on the head by bomb fragments while trying to protect Brother Qi Feng's body. But that day, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared. It suddenly rained heavily, and golden and bright red rainbows appeared around... By the time we rescued him, he was already unconscious."

"The doctor said he had post-traumatic stress disorder, along with pheromone disorder and amnesia."

Jing Yue added in a low voice, "He has forgotten everything about you. He only remembers to take back the Sar Federation and avenge Brother Qi Feng."

"At first he had hallucinations, always saying he saw a fish swimming around him, but later his condition became more and more serious, and even his hallucinations disappeared. He was left with only a ruthless rage, destroying things everywhere."

Zhai Wenxi took out his cell phone, took out a photo and handed it to Yu Li.

In the photo, Qi Sheng was lying on a hospital bed, his head bandaged, his face pale, and an amber pendant hanging on his chest. "You see, he has to stay in the hospital for a few days almost every month. It's okay at the beginning of the month, but usually at the end of the month, his body always has problems. However, no matter how much memory he has lost, he has never taken off this pendant."

Zhai Wenxi deliberately enlarged the picture of the pendant in the photo: "Is this the token of love you gave him?"

"It's not me..." Yu Li shook his head, but when he looked at the amber pendant, he suddenly remembered what happened in the past few days.

"It's okay, maybe he just bought it casually, so I just asked." Zhai Wenxi thought, could it be that he fell in love with another mermaid while I wasn't paying attention, and another mermaid gave it to him?

Yu Li's fingers stroked the pendant in the photo. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that the thing embedded in the amber was a piece of fish scale.

He thought of the alpha holding the mermaid in the hospital, and the aggressive black mamba spirit, who seemed to have a similar pendant on him.

Thinking back to the other person's spirit's reaction when I released pheromones...

The fragments of memory in my mind were instantly connected.

Instantly, his heart started beating wildly.

"I may have seen him." Yu Li suddenly stood up, his tone urgent, "I'm going to Antia's hospital now."

"Ah?" Zhai Wenxi and Jing Yue were both stunned.

Zhai Wenxi immediately reacted and quickly chased after him: "Wait! Yu Li..."

The butlers around him cast strange looks at him, as if asking how bold he was to call the king's name.

Frightened, Zhai Wenxi quickly changed his words: "Your Majesty! You haven't approved Antia's weapons procurement visit letter yet, and we are still waiting for that batch of raw materials to be useful!"

"It's already this late, and you're still thinking about doing business!"

Jing Yue glared at him and quickly followed Yu Li, "Yu Li, I'll go back to Antia with you!"

Yu Li turned around and told Pu Lan, "Wenxi's affairs are now in your hands. Help him deal with them. You don't have to follow me."

After saying that, he pulled Jingyue and walked quickly towards the exit.

Pu Lan didn't understand what was going on for a moment, but seeing Zhai Wenxi's eagerness to seek resources, he had no choice but to take him to see the person in charge of export trade at the parliament...

—

On the flight from Xisana to Antia, Yu Li was frowning the whole time.

He kept thinking about the scene in the hospital.

Why is Qi Sheng hugging another mermaid? Is she his new wife?

The Black Mamba spirit obviously likes me the most, so why didn’t the little guy react at all after I released the pheromones?

Does he still remember his first wife in his life?

Have you forgotten me?

And that pendant, it looks like it contains my scales...

Every detail was enough to make his heart beat faster.

Jing Yue sat beside him, seeing his nervous look, and understood his thoughts. He just quietly held Yu Li's hand and said, "Don't worry, even if he really has forgotten you, if you spend a few more days together, he will slowly remember you."

"Yeah." But Yu Li was worried.

…

It was already the afternoon of the next day when we arrived at the hospital in Antia.

Yu Li rushed into Qi Sheng's ward and even forgot to knock on the door.

In the ward, Qi Sheng was sitting by the bed, holding the amber pendant in his hand in a daze. The sunlight fell on him, outlining the tense profile of his face.

There was a rare absence of ruthlessness in his eyes, but instead a certain kind of fantasy and confusion.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Qi Sheng looked up suddenly.

When he saw Yu Li at the door, his pupils suddenly contracted and the pendant in his hand fell to the ground with a "pop".

He subconsciously tried to hide the pendant, but he was too slow and Yu Li saw it.

Yu Li stopped at the door and looked at Qi Sheng's panic. All the worries suddenly became less important.

He moved to his bedside almost instantly, bent down to pick up the pendant, and ran his fingertips over the patterns on it.

In an instant, the pendant emitted a dazzling light.

"It's yours, I'm giving it back to you." Yu Li placed the pendant in his palm and handed it over slowly.

Qi Sheng's body froze.

He looked at the tears in Yu Li's eyes, and suddenly felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, as if something was about to break through the shackles of memory.

He opened his mouth and wanted to say "I don't know you".

But when the words reached his lips, they turned into a hoarse question: "Who... are you?"

"My name is Yu Li." Yu Li took another step closer and handed him the pendant. "Your wife, Yu Li."

Qi Sheng took the pendant and his fingertips touched Yu Li's hand. The "pain" of missing her spread along his fingertips to his whole body.

He looked at Yu Li's face, and suddenly some vague images flashed through his mind...

But those scenes are too painful. Just a little recall will make my heart feel a torn pain.

"Yu Li..." Qi Sheng's voice became even hoarse. He wanted to hold on to those images, but they were like sand. The tighter he held on, the faster they leaked away.

His pheromones began to become disordered, and the Black Mamba spirit suddenly emerged from behind him!

When the Black Mamba first came out, it was still a little alert, its pupils shrank slightly, and its tongue moved quickly, as if to confirm the breath of the person in front of it.

But when the pheromone with the scent of Epiphyllum came over with a familiar warmth, it was suddenly stunned!

The snake's neck, which had been standing up majestically, slowly collapsed, and its diamond-shaped pupils were visibly filled with mist.

Before Yu Li could come to his senses, the half-human-height black mamba suddenly lowered its head and drooped its head.

The next second, transparent liquid slid down the scales and dripped onto the floor.

It slowly circled around Yu Li twice, its tail gently brushing across his trouser legs with cautious intimacy.

Yu Li was surprised that it could grow so big and still be so well-behaved, and he couldn't help but reach out to touch it.

The Black Mamba immediately moved its head forward, and its scales, carrying Qi Sheng's unique warmth, rubbed against his palm, making a "gurgling" sound.

The scales were smooth but not cold, as if they carried Qi Sheng's body temperature.

After the spirit body turned three times, as if it was still not satisfied, the snake body suddenly began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The body, which was originally able to wrap around an adult's waist and abdomen, gradually shrank to the thickness of a wrist, and finally stopped at the length of a forearm, flexibly wrapping around Yu Li's left arm.

It rested its head on Yu Li's elbow, its tail gently hooked around his sleeve, and a subtle hissing sound came from its throat...

Yu Li suddenly felt a damp chill on his forearm. "Hmm? Is it crying?"

Qi Sheng rubbed his temples, suddenly not knowing how to respond to this scene. "Snakes don't have tear glands... but they do excrete fluid."

Yu Li smiled, a little dotingly: "Ah~ Your snake peed on my hand? What should I do, snake daddy?"
