Chapter 149 Love & Memories
A brand new world is being conceived, which seems to confirm the words of the merchant sage, the creator of the world.

But Cheng Mai always felt something was wrong; the business acumen didn't seem right.

"The business is simple, it divides two worlds, and what happens after the two worlds tend to reach a balance?" Cheng Mai suddenly asked.

“Naturally, I’d like to be the most carefree person in the world.” Shang Xingjian stretched. “At the very least, I could roam freely with you across the world, which would also be a good choice.”

"At worst?" Cheng Mai laughed in exasperation. Where did this guy get the nerve to say that?

Seeing Cheng Mai laugh in exasperation, Shang Xingjian also laughed, except that while Cheng Mai was the one being angered, Shang Xingjian was genuinely happy.

“However, it’s probably impossible to live a carefree life now.” Shang Xingjian withdrew his gaze and looked at Cheng Mai’s face. “But your memories are indeed a troublesome matter.”

"This isn't the time to find someone, why are you bringing up my memories?"

"Nothing much, let's go fishing." As soon as Shang Xingjian finished speaking, he was already on the bank of a river.

Cheng Mai: "..." What did the fish in this world do wrong that they couldn't escape his clutches?

"What exactly did that fish you're looking for eat?" Cheng Mai had already accepted his habit of fishing anytime, anywhere, so he sat down calmly and waited for him to catch fish.

Among the countless fish, none can be considered a fish spirit; where can you find one so easily?

"I don't know." Shang Xingjian waited for the fish to take the bait. "I used to think it was a thread of affection, but now it's probably a memory."

Cheng Mai frowned slightly. "Whose memories?"

又是谁的情丝？“你猜？”商行简语气欠揍，晃动鱼竿漫不经心的钓鱼。

Cheng Mai vaguely sensed something. She wasn't stupid; with so much information already, she could piece together a rough outline even if she had to.

"Shang Xingjian, don't you think this sounds like a joke?" Cheng Mai became serious, and didn't seem very happy.

"Yes, I also think it's like a joke."

Neither of them explicitly stated what the joke was, but they both knew perfectly well what it was.

"All the answers are in your memory. To find the answers, you must retrieve your memories." Shang Xingjian was focused on fishing. He also wanted to know why the person he had tribulation with was Jupiter.

Cheng Mai's face was rather unpleasant. He stood up and paced back and forth a few times, looking somewhat irritable. He seemed to want to say something, but several times he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

"I know what you want to ask, and I want to ask too, but isn't the key here?" Shang Xingjian caught a fish, a big silver carp, which probably wouldn't taste good grilled.

The merchant lit a fire right away, and even though it didn't taste good, he didn't intend to let it go.

Cheng Mai watched him skillfully grill the fish and fell silent for a moment. Someone who would burn down a kitchen if he entered one could grill fish so skillfully. How many fish had he caught? How many roads had he traveled?
"Shang Xingjian, why did Xuanji do that? Don't say it's because he has a grudge against us; I know that's not the reason." A celestial being might make some harmless jokes, but Xuanji wouldn't stoop to doing something like this.

Unless he is truly trying to stop the business from doing what it briefly did.

Shang Xingjian seemed to sigh; as time went on, she was becoming harder to fool.

"This matter can't be explained in a few words. You'll understand once you regain your memory." Shang Xingjian dodged the question, then put down his fishing rod and continued fishing after grilling the fish.
