Yan Lin's eyes widened as he angrily demanded, "That token was meant for my future wife, the Demon Queen's Token. Why is it in your hands? What have you done to me?!"
Dongfang Mian looked at him for a while before letting out a long sigh and saying, "Alright, since you've asked so sincerely, I'll tell you."
"Didn't your master and the others tell you before that your memory loss was due to your injury? Actually, we lied to you," Dongfang Mian said with a heavy expression.
Before Yan Lin could even get angry, Dongfang Mian continued:
"Actually, you were framed and accidentally fell to the lower realm, which is the Vermilion Bird Continent we visited not long ago. It was Ah Ju and I who saved your life. Then, you were penniless and seriously injured, and it was Ah Ju and I who helped you again."
Especially me, to take care of you, I raised you from infancy, changing your diapers and feeding you until you regained your strength, and in the process, you fell in love with me.
I disagreed and refused you, but you threatened to kill yourself and begged me to agree. You even knelt down and begged me to say yes. This token was given to me by you at that time. You said that the future Demon Queen was none other than me.
Reluctantly, I accepted it, intending to return it to you someday. But then you cried and begged me to let the token recognize its owner before you'd stop crying.
So... I haven't told you this because one time when we were hiking together, you accidentally fell off a cliff and injured your brain, forgetting many things, only remembering things from a long time ago.
Poor me, I've been desperately watching over you, risking my life to help you venture into all sorts of perilous places in search of treasures to restore your strength. Now I'm even doing my best to find fragments of a divine artifact for you.
But you coldly questioned me, asking why this token was in my possession.
Fine, I don't want the token anymore, just take it from my body.
After telling her story for a while, Dongfang Mian almost believed it herself. She couldn't help but glare at Yan Lin with tears in her eyes and a look of accusation in her eyes.
Yan Lin shuddered involuntarily, as if he really was a heartless and ungrateful man.
Just as Yan Lin was about to ask about the story, Aju appeared, sighed at Yan Lin, and said, "Master Lin, I am very disappointed in you."
Ah Ju's exceptionally sorrowful figure made Yan Lin swallow back the words he was about to say.
Could it be that I really am an ungrateful bastard?
And on top of that, they toyed with people's feelings?
But I don't remember.
Scratching his head, Yan Lin decided to believe the story. First, he didn't believe that Dongfang Mian could snatch the token from him with his strength. Second, the token couldn't recognize its owner unless it was willing. Third, he finally understood why he felt an indescribable feeling every time he saw Dongfang Mian.
But Yan Lin still couldn't accept that he would threaten suicide to force a young girl to agree to marry him.
I must have been out of my mind when I fell, that must be it.
Seeing Yan Lin muttering to himself, Dongfang Mian and Aju exchanged a victorious look.
“Therefore, the guardian of Divine Beast Mountain must have a close relationship with you. When we get there, just listen to my signals and speak accordingly,” Dongfang Mian said.
"Then... will we be staying together every night from now on?" Yan Lin finally asked, her face flushed, after mustering up her courage for a long time.
"Dream on, you shameless bastard," Dongfang Mian cursed irritably. What kind of time is this for her brother to care about such a thing?
"Don't even think about it before the wedding," Dongfang Mian said angrily.
Oh, Yan Lin touched his nose, but he didn't feel so bad about being scolded by her. Could it be that he was born with a masochistic nature?
