Chapter 237 What did they remember?
A moment later, the group came out, leaving Xiao Chong alone inside to take care of the others.
"Father, what did you mean just now?" the young merman asked after he came out.
The middle-aged merman frowned, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "After Mu Chen gave her poisonous herbs for a long time, was it you who collected her soul the day before her wedding?"
“That’s right. My informant in the wolf clan told me that she had suddenly stopped breathing, so I used this dragon vein to activate the dragon pearl to collect her soul and personally tended to it carefully every day.”
"Then haven't you ever wondered why, despite your meticulous care every day, the soul of your Dragon Ball hasn't changed at all after all this time?"
“This…” the young merman hesitated.
The other beastmen nearby were also puzzled.
"It's only been less than half a year, so there definitely won't be any changes," the young merman said.
“Logically speaking, the dragon vein spiritual energy of the zombie dragon clan should be abundant and should not remain unchanged,” Nightmare said from the side.
“Our Ningning is different. She is a true goddess, not the female you describe who can be bullied at will.”
Upon hearing Yan's words, the merman looked at him, feeling that he was exaggerating about Shu Ning, who possessed someone's body.
“This has nothing to do with time,” the middle-aged merman said, “because what you are protecting is not a real soul.”
Upon hearing this, the others all looked at him.
"What exactly is that? What's going on?" Jin Tong listened to their conversation, his fiery red eyes filled with confusion.
"I don't know what kind of power brought her back to life that night, even though she was on the verge of death," the middle-aged merman said solemnly, recalling the scene he saw in the starry sky that day.
The young merman was still puzzled after hearing this, "I clearly saw Nene from Dragon Ball just now, she was already awake."
“Just now you weren’t swapping souls with Yan Ling, that was definitely her,” the middle-aged merman said.
The young merman nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, I knew it was her."
"But what you didn't notice is that Shu Ning's body, which is lying down, hasn't woken up," the middle-aged merman said.
"The female that the Dragon Ball awakened was actually a swapped soul. Because you kept the Dragon Ball in the Dragon Vein to nourish it for a long time, the Dragon Ball can make her appear to exist in a physical form."
“But it’s not what you see,” he added.
Some of the people who heard this understood, but others were still completely confused.
"So what we saw in Dragon Ball earlier, Lemon, was actually just Lemon's soul," Han She said, her eyes deep and unfathomable.
After saying this, he vaguely sensed that something was amiss.
If that was Shu Ning's soul that was swapped out, then she should know him.
Although he hadn't seen her for very long after he lost his memory, it shouldn't have been with such a completely unfamiliar look in his eyes.
Therefore, the middle-aged merman was likely lying, or more accurately, only telling part of the truth. As for why he said that...
Thinking of this, he glanced at the young merman, who had now been persuaded by the middle-aged merman and was no longer as impulsive as before.
“That’s right.” The middle-aged merman looked at Han She with certainty, then continued to say to the younger merman, “They were originally one.”
"So, in fact, my Ningning has always been fine?" The young merman's eyes lit up with joy upon hearing this, but then his gaze turned to self-reproach as he realized he had been misunderstanding Shu Ning all along.
"Then why did I treat her like this before... I deserve to die!" he said with deep remorse.
"Don't be like this, child, it's not your fault." The middle-aged merman placed his hand on his shoulder to comfort him, a deep glint in his eyes.
He didn't know where Shu Ning had really gone; he only knew that if things continued like this, his son would eventually develop mental problems.
At this moment, Han She also noticed the change in the middle-aged merman's eyes.
It seems he guessed correctly.
But where did Shu Ning go? Without the protection of the Dragon Ball, where could she have gone?
Thinking of this, a bad feeling welled up in his heart, and he immediately rushed past them to check.
The moment he opened the door, he suppressed his impulsive behavior and carefully walked to the bedside.
Under the curtain, she was lying in Xiao Chong's arms, about to drink the water he handed her.
At this moment, when the others saw Han She enter, they all followed her in.
Han She swallowed hard, her breathing heavy, and gently lifted the light gauze curtain.
When Han She lifted the curtain, Shu Ning had already finished drinking her water.
"It's you." She greeted Han She.
Upon hearing this, Han She's anxious heart instantly relaxed a lot.
"It's me," he replied softly, a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, trying to soften his usually stern face.
"Ningning, you're awake?" Jin Tong exclaimed excitedly as she entered from behind.
"Mm." Shu Ning nodded as she looked at Jin Tong who had entered.
"Ningning, have you regained your memories?" Jin Tong asked, sitting down on the edge of the bed.
"Hmm..." Shu Ning hesitated for a moment before replying.
At this moment, the young merman looked at Shu Ning with excitement. Her eyes were pure and playful, like an unpolluted river.
Thinking of what he had done to her, he wanted to speak up, but at that moment he felt timid and didn't know how to start.
Upon hearing Jin Tong's question, the others listened attentively to Shu Ning.
"I remember some things, but I've forgotten a lot," Shu Ning said, scratching her head.
"It's alright, it's already good that you can remember some things." At this moment, Yi Yuan squatted down by the bed and looked at Shu Ning happily.
"Okay, take your time, no rush," Xuan Mo said, standing next to Xiao Chong to comfort him.
“Oh well, it doesn’t matter whether I remember or not,” Nightmare said. “Anyway, there’s nothing worth remembering from the past.”
As soon as Yan finished speaking, the eyes of the others dimmed, and a sense of self-reproach welled up in their hearts.
"So what did you remember?" Jin Tong asked, her eyes full of anticipation.
“Hmm…” Shu Ning thought for a moment, then sat up and looked at Xiao Chong, saying, “You are Xiao Chong.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chong smiled with satisfaction and said, "Hmm."
“You are… Yi Yuan.” She looked at Yi Yuan, who was squatting next to Xiao Chong, and said, “Yes, I remember you used to bring me food every day.”
"Yes, Ningning is great, you guessed right." Yiyuan looked up, took Shu Ning's hand, and said with delight in his dark green eyes.
"Hmph..." Shu Ning responded with a smile, then looked at Xuan Mo standing next to Xiao Chong, "You are Xuan Mo."
"I'm sorry, I forced you to be my beastly husband back then," she said guiltily.
Xuanmo smiled slightly and said in a magnetic voice, "It's nothing."
"What about me? What about me?" Jin Tong asked, moving slightly closer to Shu Ning.
“You…” Shu Ning frowned slightly.
Han She, who had just relaxed, tensed up again and stared intently at Shu Ning in front of her.
