"What are you doing here? And why am I here?"
Qiao Mei held Xu Heyu tightly, her red eyes filled with the fervor that Xu Heyu had been familiar with since their past life.
But for some reason, he always felt that Qiao Mei was a bit unfamiliar now.
He remembered that she had a faint rose scent, but now it's gone.
And, although Qiao Mei had always admired him in her past life, she had never had such close physical contact with him before, but now...
Shu Qingqing couldn't stand it anymore and quickly stepped forward to separate the two: "Qiaoqiao, what's wrong with you? Did you hurt your head?"
Shu Qingqing and the others were unaware of what Qiao Mei had gone through.
But now, seeing her ignoring Ao Cang and choosing to throw herself into Xu Heyu's arms, Shu Qingqing felt that Qiao Mei must have hurt her head!
Qiao Mei broke free from Shu Qingqing's hand again, looking at her with great displeasure: "I don't know you at all, don't touch me!!"
The Qiao Mei that Zuo Chenxing knew was definitely not like this. He stared at her quietly for a while, and just as she was about to say something, he struck her on the back of the neck with a chop, knocking her unconscious.
"Let's take it back and see what exactly happened first."
The place where Qiao Mei just came out was a very dilapidated wooden house.
When Ao Cang saw Qiao Mei being led away by a group of people, he did not follow her closely for the first time, but instead turned around and went to the dilapidated wooden house.
There were obvious signs that someone had been inside the wooden house.
And it wasn't just one person.
This includes Qiao Yingying, who had been targeting Qiao Mei.
He walked to the dustiest spot, squatted down to examine it, and found some green powder still remaining there.
Others may not know what this is, but he, as a deity, knows it very well.
"This is... a Soul-Removing Stone?"
As deities, they sometimes cannot use their physical forms to perform tasks.
Therefore, they often create a puppet body that can contain their soul.
However, since such bodies are not allowed to exist by the Heavenly Dao, generally speaking, not only their own souls can enter them, but other souls can as well.
Soul-repelling stones are generally used by deities to drive away foreign souls.
In addition, it can expel foreign souls that have entered the bodies of normal people. In earlier times, it was often used by Taoist priests in the human world.
Seeing it again after so long, Ao Cang was still a little dazed.
He stood up and stared silently at the dirty floor covered in green powder. Suddenly, he recalled the various past lives he had seen from Qiao Mei.
At the time, he naively thought that it was just her past life.
Looking back now, it wasn't a past life at all, but rather a real life experience she would have had.
And she, now, is nowhere to be found, leaving him all alone here...
Ao Cang's nose tingled with sadness, like a little dog abandoned when its owner moved away forever, feeling helpless and heartbroken.
He thought he knew Qiao Mei very well, but now that she's left, he doesn't even know where she went.
An overwhelming sense of panic and suffocation washed over Ao Cang, making it hard for him to breathe, and his hands and feet felt ice-cold.
At that moment, he suddenly didn't know what the meaning of his continued existence was. The motivation that had driven him forward before seemed to have been forcibly cut off.
“An’an…” Ao Cang took a deep breath, called out Qiao Mei’s nickname, and then his golden eyes gradually deepened as he recalled the past events that had occurred here not long ago.
Upon hearing Qiao Yingying say that Qiao Mei was just an outsider, Ao Cang seemed to have confirmed something. After clenching his fist, he did not linger there any longer.
Instead, they went straight to the place where Shu Qingqing and the others had left.
Since everything started with abnormalities in Qiao Mei's body, the solution to the problem might also lie with her!
...
With Qiao Mei's sudden change in personality, Shang Duojin lost all interest in continuing to investigate Wan Shishi's matter.
The group hurriedly found a local hospital and gave Qiao Mei a full-body checkup.
Shang Duojin also specifically emphasized the need to thoroughly examine Qiao Mei's head to see if she had lost her memory.
However, the test results only showed that Qiao Mei's mental state was not very good, but there were no other abnormalities.
"How is that possible? Then why doesn't she recognize us?"
The doctor had never heard of this situation before. He frowned and thought for a while before giving a somewhat plausible explanation: "Perhaps she suffered a strong shock that her brain couldn't process immediately, which is why she chose to seal away some of her memories."
"But I've never encountered a situation like this before, and I don't know how to treat her. I suggest you all go to the Imperial Star Hospital; maybe they can find a way to cure her."
Xu Heyu looked like a girl who was very clingy to him, practically leaning her whole body against him, but she didn't feel happy at all.
He did want Qiao Mei, but not the Qiao Mei he wanted.
He could no longer see the shining qualities he had once seen in her; in her red eyes, he could only see an overly cloying dependence and adoration.
It's like a robot that's been programmed to only like him.
This made him very uncomfortable, even somewhat disgusted.
Not only him, but Shang Duojin and Xu Heyu, who were familiar with Qiao Mei, also felt the same way.
Seeing Qiao Mei being so close to Xu Heyu made them feel as uncomfortable as if someone had forced a few flies into their mouths.
