Chapter 283 The Truth
But what she was really thinking was, wasn't her cousin's memory erased by Yue'er's secret technique?
How could he know that he wanted to kill Yue'er?
Which bastard was gossiping behind my back and it got to my cousin's ears?
It seems the warnings weren't enough.

Feng Su narrowed her peach blossom eyes slightly, and her ten fingers unconsciously tightened.

He glanced at Su Xiyue's clenched knuckles, which had turned white, and suddenly chuckled: "Cousin, have you been struck by lightning and lost your mind? That day, after you got drunk and forced yourself on Xiaoyue, you woke up to find that she already had six beast husbands, and even had two litters of children. You felt that she was not good enough for you, and in a fit of rage, you wanted to kill her to silence her."

"That's utter nonsense. Do you think I'm such a low-class person?"

Xuanyuan Ming was furious upon hearing this, not believing a single word of it.

Although he can be crazy at times, he would never do something like possessing someone else's body and then trying to kill them afterwards.

Even if they couldn't accept it in their hearts, they would just leave afterward instead of committing such a despicable act as murder.

The only thing that could make him kill was a female.

The other party must have done something extremely excessive and crossed his bottom line.

Xuan Yuanming narrowed his dark golden eyes and shot a lightning bolt at Feng Su: "Tell the truth."

Feng Su awkwardly touched her nose, thinking to herself: My cousin is quite perceptive. Why is he so smart?
He was racking his brains trying to figure out how to make things work out.

Su Xiyue suddenly stepped out, looked at Xuan Yuanming expressionlessly, and said coldly, "Since you want to know the truth."

Everyone looked at her.

"Moon"

"Yue'er."

……

Ye Ling, Bai Qi, Mo Lin, and Qing Zhu all knew what she wanted to say and spoke up to remind her one after another.

She looked at the men, shook her head slightly, and then looked directly into Xuan Yuanming's eyes: "We were indeed partners. There's no need to dwell on what happened in between. Anyway, you've forgotten. We're over now. Please remove the partner mark and we'll have nothing to do with each other from now on."

The mark on Xuanyuan Ming's chest suddenly became hot, burning him painfully.

He instinctively pressed his hand to his chest: "Why should it be up to you to decide?"

"Just based on what you just said, 'this kind of lower-level female'."

Qingzhu sneered, "What, the young lord of the Dragon Clan, aren't you ashamed now? Since you despise and look down on him, then please dissolve the contract immediately, lest our Yue'er tarnish your noble status."

A partner's mark can be removed with the consent of both parties.

If the removal is not unilateral, there will be consequences, such as losing a rank.

Xuanyuan Ming was instantly choked.

He had indeed said those words, but now, looking into Su Xiyue's calm eyes, his heart was throbbing with pain.

This feeling came out of nowhere.

"It can be lifted."

He suddenly smirked, "Tell me first, why do I have absolutely no memory of you?"

Xuanming sneered: "Because someone went mad and tried to kill Yue'er, we beat him until he lost his memory."

"Just you?"

Xuanyuan Ming looked disdainful. He admitted that these orcs were quite strong, but it wouldn't be so easy for them to make him lose his memory.

If he were to encounter a life-threatening crisis, he would have a million ways to escape.

Putting aside everything else, the Dragon Clan's secret arts contain many life-saving methods.

How could he possibly have lost his memory after being beaten by the other party?

Ye Ling glared at Xuan Ming with displeasure, "If you can't speak properly, then shut up."

Xuanming was stunned by the glare and had no idea what he had said wrong.

Ye Ling turned her gaze to Xuan Yuanming and said coldly, "Since you've forgotten, don't dwell on it anymore. Removing the partner mark is better for everyone."

Xuan Yuanming suddenly laughed, a dangerous glint flashing in his dark golden eyes: "It's not that I want to pester you, I just want to get to the bottom of this."

He looked at Su Xiyue's cold, pale face and said bluntly, "Although I have no memory, I can sense that our relationship is not as simple as they say."

His gaze, almost tangible, swept over Su Xiyue's tense face inch by inch: "I may not remember, but my body remembers—"

He suddenly pressed his hand to his chest, the dragon scale pattern faintly visible beneath his skin. "Every time I get close to you, my reverse scales burn. The feelings you give me are also very complicated, with love, hate, and resentment. There must have been a very deep entanglement between us, the kind that is unforgettable, otherwise my body wouldn't be like this."

Su Xiyue clenched her fists tightly, but forced herself to meet his gaze. Her once smiling eyes were now filled with frost: "Young Master, you are overthinking it. It's just a fleeting romance."

Xuanyuan Ming frowned. For some reason, when he heard the words "fleeting romance," his heart felt as if it had been stabbed by countless sharp knives, which were churning violently and causing him great pain, making it hard to breathe.

"I won't untie it so easily. When I remember our past, if it's really as you say, I will naturally untie it."

He coldly swept his gaze over the crowd, dragon scale patterns appearing on the side of his neck: "Let's end it here for today."

He suddenly transformed into a hundred-meter-long candle dragon and soared into the sky, his dragon roar shaking the heavens, and his dragon claws tore a gash in the sky.

It is the spatial passage leading to the upper realm.

"Once I have investigated the truth, I will return to resolve this matter."

Xuan Yuanming's voice came from the air, clearly addressed to Su Xiyue.

He gave her one last deep look, then with a flick of his dragon tail, he vanished into the distorted spatial rift.

Until the spatial rift gradually heals and becomes completely invisible.

Su Xiyue's tense body finally relaxed, as if all her strength had been drained away.

Mo Lin pulled her into his arms, and looking at her pale face, his heart ached.

He frowned and looked around: "Everyone, disperse."

The orcs who had surrounded the mine dispersed, and the mine resumed its busy operation.

……

Three days later, at the Dragon Clan's residence in the Upper Realm.

Xuanyuan Ming's massive dragon body swooped down, landing on the highest mountain range of the dragon race. The moment he landed and transformed into human form, he looked up and saw his father, Xuanyuan Hao, standing not far away. He paused slightly, then called out indifferently, "Father."

Xuan Yuanhao was extremely surprised to see his son suddenly return, but he quickly concealed his surprise and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.

He stepped forward and said coldly, "What, you've finally decided to come back? Aren't you going to be all lovey-dovey with that lower-realm woman for a hundred years?"

Xuanyuan Ming felt somewhat uncomfortable after being stung by these sarcastic words, and his eyes darkened slightly.

The father's reaction was too strange; it was clearly an attitude of knowing the inside story, and it also carried a deliberate humiliation.

How could he not understand that Feng Su, that bastard, had lied to him?

The things I said at Qingyan Mountain in the lower region were complete nonsense.

What, just to spite the old man, she deliberately dragged along a female from a lower realm to form a mate.

The father clearly knew all along, otherwise he wouldn't have said such a thing.

"Does Father know Su Xiyue?"

He deliberately asked a question in return, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing against the edge of his sleeve.

Xuan Yuanhao was stunned for a moment. What's wrong with this bastard today?

How could they ask such a nonsensical question?

He sneered and flicked his sleeve, the scent of ambergris mixed with anger wafting towards him: "You almost turned the entire dragon clan upside down for her, once turning into a mad beast, and even killed the Great Witch Princess to avenge her, what are you pretending to be confused about now?"

Xuanyuan Ming was stunned again, "I once became a mad beast and even killed the Great Witch Priestess?"

He couldn't believe what he was hearing.

Am I possessed? Or have I lost my mind?
How could he have inexplicably turned into a mad beast and even killed the witch?
The witch is a high priestess of the dragon race, whose status is almost on par with the clan leader. He's not crazy, so why would he kill the witch?
Judging from the father's serious yet mocking gaze, it was clearly true.

But why does he have no memory of such an important matter?

He could feel that his memories were missing, and that the missing parts were extremely important.

He didn't say anything more to Xuan Yuanhao, nor did he pay attention to the other's sarcasm. Instead, he turned around and left, going straight back to his residence.

Xuan Yuanhao stared at his son's departing figure, then suddenly froze.

He could sense the unusual behavior of Ming'er after her return.

When Ming'er mentioned Su Xiyue, her eyes were strange, completely devoid of the madness and intense love she once had.

He looked as if he knew nothing of what had happened in the past.

It's somewhat like amnesia, but it's not quite like amnesia at all.

It was as if he had forgotten everything related to Su Xiyue.

Something's not right...

"Somebody come!"

Xuan Yuanhao suddenly shouted sternly.

Two dragon guards immediately emerged from the shadows, kneeling respectfully on one knee: "Clan Chief."

Xuan Yuanhao looked at them with a dignified gaze and said in a low voice, "Go to the Lower Domain Wolf Tribe and investigate. Find out what happened to Ming'er there. I need to know every detail."

"Yes."

The two dragon guards respectfully acknowledged the order and then quickly disappeared.

……

Xuanyuan Ming returned to his stone palace, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the dragon scale mark on his chest.

The moonlight shone in through the window, casting a long shadow of him.

"Someone is coming."

He spoke suddenly.

A female dragon slave entered the stone hall tremblingly and knelt down: "What are your orders, Young Master?"

"Tell me everything you know about Su Xiyue."

Xuanyuan Ming looked at the female slave, his voice as cold as ice.

The female slave trembled with fear. In fact, she didn't know anything about Su Xiyue, and had never even met her, but she had heard a lot of rumors about her.

She dared not hide anything, “I only know that when the young master was young, he was stranded in the lower realm and was rescued by a female wolf named Su Xiyue. After returning, he insisted on marrying her and repeatedly disobeyed the clan leader for her sake. He even refused the marriage agreement between the dragon and phoenix clans and crushed the marriage contract.”

"Then why did I kill the witch? What happened?"

Xuanyuan Ming frowned as he stared at the female slave, pressing her for an answer.

The female slave pressed her forehead against the cold stone slab, her voice trembling: "I only know that the witch cast a curse on your beloved, and in your anger..."

"boom!"

Xuanyuan Ming shattered the Xuanjing stone table with a single palm strike, a terrifying storm surging within his dark golden eyes.

The Curse of Faded Beauty.

That's a vicious curse that can completely ruin a person's appearance.

"go on."

The female slave was so frightened she almost collapsed: "In a fit of rage to avenge your beloved, you killed the Priestess..."

She suddenly kowtowed frantically, pleading, "Young Master, spare me! I really don't know what happened after that, please spare me!"

Xuanyuan Ming frowned when he saw her like this, but did not press her further.

He waved his hand, finally dismissing the other person.
