Chapter 282 Amnesia
Dense forest near Qingyanshan Mine.

Xuanyuan Ming suddenly opened his eyes and woke up, looking around blankly with a furrowed brow.

The surrounding environment was both strange and familiar. I didn't remember being here before, but there was a strange sense of familiarity.

He stood up, and sunlight filtered through the dense foliage, casting dappled light on his handsome yet slightly disheveled face.

He looked down at himself and found that his body was covered in wounds, his skin was torn open, and he was covered in blood. He looked miserable and pitiful.

He looked as if he had just survived a life-or-death battle.

"what happened?"

Xuanyuan Ming raised his hand and rubbed his temples, his mind blank, his dark golden eyes filled with confusion.

It's like a large piece of memory is missing, as if a very important part has been forgotten.

Without waiting for him to think about it.

The sounds of mining could be heard in the distance, mixed with the conversations of orcs.

"Do you think Su Xiyue really severed all ties with Xuan Yuanming like that?"

"What else can we do but cut ties completely? Just now, Xuan Yuanming went crazy and tried to kill her, saying those hurtful things. No one could stand that."

"Shh, keep your voice down. Ye Ling warned us not to talk nonsense. We shouldn't discuss these kinds of things in the future, lest someone overhears us."

……

The voices of several orcs could be heard intermittently in the distance, as if they were seen through a thick veil, indistinct and unclear.

Xuanyuan Ming couldn't understand what they were saying at all, but he vaguely knew that they were talking about him.

Cut in two with one stroke?

Did he go mad and kill her?

Su Xiyue?
Judging from the name, she should be female, but I have no memory of her at all.

Although I have no recollection of it at all.

But hearing that name would sting his heart, like being pricked by needles.

This feeling came out of nowhere, yet it was so familiar it was suffocating.

I feel something burning hot in my chest, like it's on fire.

Xuanyuan Ming lowered his eyes and looked at his chest.

Through the open collar of his animal skin coat, he discovered a small dragon mark on his chest, near his heart, as if it had been deliberately carved into his skin.

"Couple mark?"

Upon seeing what was on his chest, he was instantly terrified, his expression one of disbelief.

When did he have a partner? Why don't you have any recollection of something so important?
Suddenly he remembered the marriage contract between the Dragon and Phoenix clans, and how his father and the clan elders were forcing him to marry Feng Qiwu.

He didn't remember the specific reason, only that he was very resistant to the marriage and even crushed the marriage contract between the two clans.

Could it be that the old man used some special means to force him to marry Feng Qiwu without his knowledge?
Or perhaps the Phoenix Clan has secretly done something to me?
The thought of this possibility made his expression look as ugly as if he had eaten shit.

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Those old fogies were capable of anything to achieve the goal of a marriage alliance between the two clans.

His face grew increasingly pale, becoming terribly gloomy.

"Anyone who dares to scheme against him like this is courting death."

Xuanyuan Ming's dark golden eyes surged with ferocity, and his dragon aura trembled, startling the birds and beasts in the forest into scattering and fleeing.

With a gloomy face, he tore open the collar of his animal skin coat and stared intently at the Candle Dragon mark on his chest.

The thought that his partner might be Feng Qiwu made his face grow even more gloomy.

They were about to risk losing face to erase their partner's mark.

But for some reason, I couldn't bring myself to do it. Deep down, it seemed I didn't want to.

His brows furrowed; this feeling came on inexplicably.

Isn't it the phoenix perching on the parasol tree?
Then, Xuanyuan Ming suddenly remembered what the orcs had been talking about earlier.

Su Xiyue!!

Cut it in two! !
Kill her! !
The name and those words were like a sharp knife, piercing his heart unexpectedly, causing him unbearable pain.

But I just can't remember anything.

"Ah…"

Xuan Yuanming sneered, a murderous glint spreading in his eyes. "I don't care who you are. Since you dare to scheme against me, you won't have an easy time."

He directly activated the partner mark on his chest and followed its guidance to find his way there.

I absolutely have to find out what happened today.

They soon arrived at the mine and appeared at the mine entrance.

The gravel crunched beneath his feet, startling Xuanfeng, who was carrying ore.

"you"

Xuanfeng froze upon seeing Xuanyuan Ming, the ore in his hand slamming into his foot with a thud, causing him to grimace in pain: "Xuanyuan Ming? What happened to you?"

"you know me?"

Xuanyuan Ming narrowed his dark golden eyes and asked in a cold voice, "Where is this?"

Xuanfeng's expression was extremely strange. He rubbed his sore foot and thought to himself: Could this crazy dragon have been beaten senseless by Ye Ling and the others?

They actually asked him who he was? Where is this place?
Because of Ye Ling's earlier warning, he dared not speak carelessly and only replied, "This is Qingyan Mountain in the Lower Region."

"Lower Domain?"

Xuan Yuanming's brows furrowed into a knot, his expression growing increasingly confused. "How did I end up in this godforsaken place?"

In his memory, the Lower Realm was a desolate, barren place, not only lacking in spiritual energy and resources, but also teeming with ferocious beasts.

No orcs were willing to go.

At least no orcs from the Upper Realm would be willing to come here.

Xuanfeng's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but think to himself: This crazy dragon has amnesia and still has regional discrimination? No wonder he was beaten into amnesia by Ye Ling and the others.

He didn't know it was because of the memory cutters; he just assumed he had been beaten by Ye Ling and the others.

He couldn't help but sneer, "Yes, yes, our lower realm can't compare to the upper realm with its beautiful scenery, clear waters, and abundant spiritual resources. So please don't come here again."

Xuan Yuanming frowned, stung by Xuan Feng's words, and was about to lash out.

Footsteps suddenly came from deep within the mine.

Ye Ling walked out with cold, silver eyes, followed by Mo Lin and the others.

"Tsk tsk... Isn't this a distinguished guest from the Upper Realm?" Bai Qi's ten tails swayed slightly, his smile carrying a deeper meaning. "What, lost?"

Xuanyuan Ming stared at the group of strange yet inexplicably familiar orcs in front of him, and the companion mark on his chest suddenly felt hot.

He turned his head sharply to look at Su Xiyue, who was being protected by Mo Lin, and his heart felt like it had been struck by a heavy hammer.

It's her.

Even though I have no memory of it, my body reacts first.

He clutched his chest, his voice hoarse: "Who are you?"

Su Xiyue's breath hitched, and for a moment she seemed to forget how to react, just staring at it.

His eyes... were unfamiliar and cold.

There was no hatred, no disgust, and no trace of the deep affection that once existed.

It's like looking at a complete stranger; all I feel is confusion.

She opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

Qingzhu stood silently in front of her, coldly scoffing, "None of your business."

"Go away!"

Xuan Yuanming glanced at it coldly, his dark golden eyes surging with murderous intent.

He ignored Qingzhu.

He stared intently at Su Xiyue, approaching her step by step, "Why do I have your partner's mark on my chest?"

Feng Su, her fiery red feathered robe billowing, stepped in between them: "Cousin, calm down."

Xuanyuan Ming then noticed Feng Su. He didn't remember others, but he did remember Feng Su.

His aunt's son, the young master of the Phoenix Clan, was also his cousin.

His dark golden eyes stared at Feng Su, and he frowned as he asked, "Why did you also come to this godforsaken place?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Su almost burst out laughing. She coughed twice before saying, "Cousin, what are you saying? If you can come, why can't I?"

"Cut the nonsense."

Xuanyuan Ming interrupted impatiently, pointing to his chest, "What's going on? When did I become mates with a female from a lower realm?"

Su Xiyue unconsciously clenched her fists, lowering her eyes and remaining silent.

Feng Su glanced at the silent Su Xiyue, her eyes darting around, and suddenly clapped her hands: "Oh dear! Cousin, have you forgotten? Last month you got drunk and insisted on dragging someone into a relationship, and we couldn't stop you!"

"fart!"

Xuanyuan Ming flew into a rage, "This young master would never be interested in someone like this—"

The words were on the tip of my tongue when I suddenly stopped.

He stared at Su Xiyue's pale face, his heart inexplicably aching.

The feeling was strange; it was a mix of love, hate, and disgust…

In short, he had all sorts of feelings, but he couldn't quite put his finger on them.

Deep down, he had a feeling that something must have happened between him and this female.

But I'm not quite willing to believe it.

Ye Ling's silver eyes shot towards Xuan Yuanming, her voice carrying a warning: "Watch your words, or don't blame me for cutting out your tongue."

"Just you?"

Xuanyuan Ming's lips curled into a mocking smile, and he was about to lash out.

Feng Su quickly smoothed things over: "Cousin, you even said you wouldn't marry anyone but her and burned the marriage contract!"

As she spoke, she secretly winked at Su Xiyue.

Xuan Yuanming's face turned ashen: "What I burned was the marriage contract with your sister."

"Yup!"

Feng Su suppressed a laugh and continued to spout nonsense: "You burned my sister's marriage contract, and your uncle made you kneel in the ancestral hall as punishment. Later, you took the opportunity to run away to the lower realms and wandered around for a long time, but you didn't dare to go back. You said you wanted to find a female, force yourself on her, and take her back to piss off your uncle and those old dragons. So you chose Xiao Yue'er. That night, you drank a lot of wine, and you forced her to become your partner. I couldn't stop you."

Xuan Yuanming's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty after hearing Feng Su's words.

He looked down at the partner mark on his chest, then looked up at Su Xiyue, trying to find a clue on her face.

But the other person kept their eyes downcast, their long eyelashes casting a shadow on their pale face, like a lifeless porcelain doll.

He couldn't immediately tell whether Feng Su's words were true or false.

When someone goes crazy, they might actually do something like that.

Xuan Yuanming stared at Su Xiyue's lowered profile, and his heart suddenly clenched with pain.

He instinctively pressed his hand to his chest, his fingertips almost digging into his flesh.

"Now that you're a couple..."

His voice was hoarse, "I will take responsibility."

"No need."

Su Xiyue suddenly looked up, her expression colder than ever before: "Who cares if you take responsibility?"

Xuan Yuanming was taken aback by her sudden coldness, and his expression was somewhat surprised.

In his memory, he had never been treated like this by any female, let alone a female from a lower realm.

"What did you say?"

His voice was terrifyingly deep, and an aura of dragon power unconsciously emanated from him.

Ye Ling's silver eyes were chillingly cold, and a mocking smile played on her lips: "Can't you understand human language? She said she doesn't need it."

Enraged by this sudden hostility, Xuan Yuanming unleashed his dragon might: "I'm talking to her, who gave you the right to interrupt?"

Mo Lin silently pulled Su Xiyue behind him, but his dark eyes were fixed on Xuan Yuanming, extremely cold: "Take one more step forward, and we won't mind making you lie down again."

The atmosphere was tense.

Xuanyuan Ming seemed to understand something; the injuries on his body must have been caused by these beastmen.

The reason for the fight is unclear.

But I had a vague feeling that it was related to this female named Su Xiyue.

He looked at Feng Su and asked directly, "Cousin, tell me what you know about the whole story. Since I dragged her into becoming my partner, why did I want to kill her? Are the injuries on my body related to them?"

When asked the question, Feng Su was momentarily speechless and didn't know how to answer.
