Chapter 539 Memories of the Past



What came to mind?

With a blink, Ariana suddenly became interested and stopped looking at the scene that was making her angry. She happily floated to the angel's side.

With her hands supporting her chin, her eyes sparkled with gossip.

The bright red light shone on Cecilia's face like a searchlight.

Slurp!

Summon them immediately!

What came to mind?

Even I can't bring myself to think of anything else when I see this scene!

"No……"

What's wrong? What's wrong? Did something interesting come to mind?

So, what kind of pornographic material came to mind? Tell me!

Cecilia, her brows furrowed, ignored the noisy demon circling around her and shoved her aside.

Cecilia was trying her best to sort out her suddenly chaotic thoughts. If they were just fragments, it wouldn't be a big deal, but what was surfacing in her mind at this moment were ancient and grand memories.

Chaos swept in like a tidal wave.

Her memories at this moment are like those of a lonely island in a turbulent sea, constantly rising and falling with the waves.

But strangely, she understood that it was definitely her own memory, a part that had been sealed away by some kind of force.

"I just remembered some things from the past..."

She remained silent for a long time, then suddenly looked at the demon beside her with a strange expression, scrutinized him from head to toe, and asked:

"Ariana".

【Huh?】

"Do you remember when we first met? Our first real meeting?"

Cecilia's golden eyes lit up as she watched Ariana's every move.

Oh dear~ I'm starting to reminisce about my wonderful first encounter with her? What should I do~ Should I remember it?

With his arms crossed and looking like he was deep in thought, the devil grinned and asked in return:

Do you want me to remember, or do you want me to forget?

"…………"

Cecilia's eyes dimmed, and she withdrew her scrutinizing gaze.

Even someone as rigid as Cecilia could, after getting to know her, somewhat guess the true meaning behind Ariana's words.

Well, she was now certain—Ariana didn't remember.

Or rather, Ariana knew very well that the "first encounter" in her memory was not the real first time, which is why she was bluffing and telling a lie that was both true and false.

Although the reason is unknown, Ariana seems to have forgotten her past... just like her former self.

[They probably don't know either. What do you think? Should I remember, or should I not remember? In a sense, forgetting can also be a beautiful memory...]

After listening to Ariana ramble on for ages with no nutritional value whatsoever, Cecilia finally spoke:

"You weren't like this before... You should have been more wicked, or more chaotic."

Although Ariana appears to be no different from before, she does react differently in many subtle ways.

In the memories I just recalled, the primordial demon of that time was truly an incarnation of the primordial abyss.

Evil and insane, taking the greatest pleasure in destroying people's hearts, they constantly use various means to destroy many legendary figures, giving them no hope whatsoever.

Cecilia finally understood why she had been so subconsciously puzzled by Ariana's transformation.

Putting everything else aside, just this one point... the original demon would never protect her contractor like a nanny.

She should have been happily manipulating the contract, ultimately turning the poor "contractor" into her plaything slave.

What made her change?

Oh dear! People change, you know~ I've said it so many times, why are you still fixated on this?

Under the strange gaze, Ariana finally stopped talking nonsense, sat back in her recliner, and elegantly crossed her legs.

And don't just talk about me, haven't you changed a lot yourself?

[Hasn't that most ruthless and cold-blooded angel king, who regarded order as supreme, now begun to experience human emotions?]

Shrugging, Ariana spread her hands and said nonchalantly:

Besides, change is change, there's nothing to dwell on, right? I know exactly who I am, and I won't lose myself because of a small change.

Chaos is me, evil is me, a little bit of so-called kindness is me, and following the rules on a whim is me too. There's nothing to be conflicted or confused about, is there?

Cecilia glanced unexpectedly at the crimson eyes drooping before her eyes, and sighed softly:

"If only... it were that simple."

If only things could really be as simple as you imagine...

Whether out of helplessness or admiration for the demon's naiveté, the angel sighed and closed his eyes once more.

She needs some time to sort out all her thoughts and figure everything out.

And, think about how to face that person.

"My Lord..."

"Oh."

...

...

Um?

Who is thinking of me?

A strange feeling welled up inside him. Ning Feng, who had just easily cleaned the marks off his body with magic, subconsciously sighed:

"I feel like I'm being entangled by a very troublesome woman."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Ning Feng realized the problem: he seemed to be holding a woman in his arms...

"What are you still saying now?"

Fortunately, Alice didn't connect the dots and just took it as him complaining to her, so she casually replied:

"I admit I'm a troublesome woman, but aren't you a troublesome man? Please, you're much more annoying than me."

Wow!

You've caused me so much trouble, and I haven't said a word. How can you be so shameless?

With a slightly awkward and apologetic smile, Ning Feng didn't insist on explaining the details that would actually cause the conflict to erupt, but instead asked:

"Can you leave here? I mean, not stay here forever."

Leave this floating city, and get away from this cage-like safe house.

Having anticipated this, Alice answered without hesitation:

"Theoretically, it is possible. I have long since severed my connection with Sky City, so it is indeed possible to remain detached for a long time without affecting its self-operation."

"However, my current condition is not suitable for leaving."

Alice smiled, her eyes crinkling, and deliberately emphasized her words:

“Especially after you forcibly took ‘that’ from my body, I lost another layer of ability to protect myself, and became a weak woman who could only be slaughtered by everyone.”

Raising an eyebrow, Ning Feng helplessly lifted the clothes that were covering her body:

"Don't say things that will be misunderstood. I was clearly trying to help you, so why do you make it sound like I'm the bad guy?"

Am I a bad person?
