At this moment, I felt my soul trembling; it seemed that he was all that remained in my eyes. The distance between us was just a few steps, yet all I could do was drag my heavy feet. I wanted to run over, but no matter what, I couldn't reach him.
"Your Highness?!" Xiaopu covered her mouth in shock, breathing heavily.
Chiba stepped forward and grabbed me, whispering, "Don't trust anyone."
At that moment, I had no strength left; I couldn't break free from Chiba's grip.
Suddenly, someone kicked the figure on the ground again, and it let out a faint groan, slightly opening its eyes.
I could no longer control the storm of emotions raging within me!
"Yue—!" I cried out hoarsely and desperately!
With all my might, I broke free from Chiba's hand. Before Chiba could react, I stumbled forward!
Kneeling beside that figure, it had the same face, the same hair, the same build, and the same eyes. I gently touched everything about that person and called out softly again, "Yue."
Silver Moon, we finally meet again.
"Xi Meng, can you wake up?! The Yue you speak of is not him; he has long been imprisoned by Siyimo. We are now in the Lost City of Lothar's Demon Realm. The person lying in front of you is not him," Chiba insisted, analyzing the situation one by one.
"It's impossible; he is Yue! How could he be so similar?!" I exclaimed as I embraced Yue, refusing to listen to any more words.
"Xi Meng—" Xiaopu called my name but didn't know what to say. She hesitated between my and Chiba's two attitudes, unable to find any flaws in the person before her.
"Who are you?" Yue asked softly, a look of confusion in her eyes.
"I'm Xi Meng!" I exclaimed, "Don't you remember me, Yue?!"
Yue shook her head slightly, her expression more pained.
"Who are you to meddle in my affairs?!"
Chiba stepped forward with a low dragon's roar, causing the crowd to freeze. Panic began to spread among them. "Is it a dragon?!"
"Could it be that you're the dragon who defeated Lord Robin a few days ago?!"
Chiba did not respond, his cold gaze fixed on those who had been eager to act.
"I'll spare you this time." With that, the four of them swiftly disappeared into the crowd.
"Does your looking mean you want to challenge me? I don't mind." Chiba's icy tone immediately frightened the onlookers away.
The level of people in this area was not high, so no one was eager to seek death by challenging Chiba, who ranked tenth in the Dueling Spirit Rankings.
Chiba grabbed Yue by her collar and shouted, "No matter who you are, if you want to harm my companion, I'll make sure you die immediately."
I pulled Chiba's arm away and stood in front of Yue, shouting at him, "What are you doing? Can't you see she's injured?!"
A flash of injury crossed Chiba's eyes, and I realized I had gone a bit too far, awkwardly retracting my hand.
"Xi Meng, is your prince really that weak? He gets beaten down by these clowns?" Chiba said with a cold snort.
Indeed, even though I had lost contact with Yue for a long time, he shouldn't be weak to this extent based on his previous abilities.
"I’ve forgotten everything. It feels like I had a long dream, and when I woke up, I was here," Yue said weakly.
"Hmph, is that so? Even if you've lost your memory, what about your Soul Energy? Has that disappeared too?" Chiba pressed with pointed questions.
Yue didn't respond, lowering his head as his body trembled from the injuries.
"If you have nothing to say, then get lost. Don't let me catch you slipping up; otherwise, I'll crush you immediately."
"My encounter with you is purely coincidental. I'm sorry if I've caused you any discomfort," Yue said, looking at me with a faint smile. "Thank you for saving me."
That smile was unmistakably warm, just like Yue's.
As Yue turned to leave, I hesitated about whether to chase after him while Chiba looked at me coldly.
"Xi Meng, the wooden-headed one is right. This person is too suspicious; it's better to let it go," Xiaopu said as he pulled me back.
Suddenly, there was a loud thud as Yue fell heavily to the ground ahead of us. I couldn't help but rush forward.
"Xiaopu, hurry and help him!" I urged anxiously.
Xiaopu hesitated for a long time, not making any move.
"Listen to me, just save him first!" I pulled Xiaopu over and said.
"I'll only bring him back to life, and once he wakes up, I promise to let him go!" I said firmly to reassure both of them.
Chiba turned away and stopped commenting, allowing Xiaopu to reach out towards the moon.
"How could this happen?!" Xiaopu suddenly withdrew his hand, exclaiming.
"What happened?!" I asked anxiously.
Xiaopu reached out again towards the moon, murmuring incantations that lasted a long time.
Chiba turned back, looking at them with confusion before slowly walking over.
Xiaopu furrowed his brow, squinting his eyes as if it was very difficult.
"Poof—!" Xiaopu spat out a mouthful of blood, as if some force had rebounded and knocked him to the side.
Chiba quickly helped Xiaopu up and asked, "What’s going on?"
"His body is not right; there's something wrong!" Xiaopu casually wiped the blood from his mouth and said softly.
"What kind of problem?!" I asked urgently.
"His injuries weren't all caused by those four people; he must have suffered a severe blow to his soul before, and his Soul Energy has been sealed," Xiaopu said.
I released Xiaopu and excitedly picked up Yue, trembling as I said, "So, he might really be Yue?!"
Chiba's expression immediately turned grim, and we looked at Xiaopu.
"Maybe, but it's not certain."
"Since that's the case, I won't give up on him. Even if there's just a one percent chance, I won't abandon him!" I said to Chiba.
"That's too dangerous," Chiba objected.
"Then I'll stay here with him; I'm not going anywhere," I replied.
"Are you crazy? Who was it that told me about responsibility? What are you doing now?!"
"I don't care; I can't lose him again."
"Do whatever you want." Chiba stood up and walked toward the crowd.
"Xi Meng, you'd better be rational," Xiaopu said.
"I can't let go of him."
"Sigh, I understand... Forget it. Mu Tou isn't that petty; he must have made it through. Let's wait here for him to wake up and then figure out what to do."
"Okay." My gaze never left Yue.
...
Xiaopu and I brought Yue out of the Demon Realm and arrived at the Lost City of Lothar, where we found a dilapidated house to temporarily rest in, keeping a vigilant watch over Yue.
"Xiaopu, why hasn't Yue woken up yet?"
"Xi Meng, you've asked this question hundreds of times! I told you, even I can't heal a soul injury all at once. I've done everything I can and tried all methods. Whether he wakes up or not depends on him," Xiaopu replied, exasperated.
During this time, I had considered the possibility that this person before me was just someone who looked too much like Yue. What if it really was Yue, but he was being controlled by Siyimo?
The Dark Stone belongs to Yue; if this person truly is him, the Dark Stone would have reacted. However, given the current situation, the Dark Stone showed no response at all.
Suddenly, Yue's fingers twitched slightly. I grabbed his hand and whispered, "Yue, you're awake, right?"
His long eyelashes fluttered, followed by those beautiful eyes opening.
"Where is this—" Yue suddenly sat up, a look of unease in his eyes.
"This place is very safe; you can rest assured," I gently patted Yue's shoulder, filled with concern.
"Your Highness, do you remember me?" Xiaopu stepped forward to carefully examine Yue's condition.
Yue's expression was unfamiliar; he clearly did not understand the title of "Your Highness."
"I'm not any prince, and who is the Yue you mentioned?"
I was taken aback, unsure how to respond.
"Is it me? Do you recognize me?"
"I'm not sure if that person is you; his name is Silver Moon." I looked at his expression seriously, not missing a detail.
"I don't know; my mind is blank." He said suddenly, grabbing me tightly, "But I feel very familiar with you. Don't leave me."
His eyes were filled with hurt and pain. This expression had appeared before on Yue, during that time in the Mosang environment when I shattered the illusion between us. He had shown the same expression then, with no difference at all.
I slowly raised my hand and softened my voice, "Okay, I won't leave."
"Your name is Yue; remember that this is your name."
"That's right, I am Yue."
...
Yue fell asleep again, and Xiaopu took the opportunity to pull me aside, looking somewhat worried. " Xi Meng, are you really sure he is the prince? Is it too rash for us to take him with us?!"
"My mind is all messed up right now; don't ask me."
"This situation is too suspicious. Don't you think his appearance is too coincidental?"
Even Xiaopu noticed the problem, so how could I have missed it?
"Even if he is one of Siyimo, what if he really is Yue, just being controlled by Siyimo?"
"No matter what, this is definitely a trap!"
"Give me some time to think it over."
"Xi Meng, wake up! You have already fallen into this trap. Siyimo knows your weakness, and now the three of us are in conflict, who knows what she might do while we are distracted."
"Xiaopu—"
"What is it?"
"I've realized you're not as foolish as I thought."
"Come on, this is not the time for jokes!"
I smiled and patted Xiaopu on the head, "It's fine, I will stay rational. Don't worry."
Suddenly, I felt a different kind of aura. "Xiaopu, go inside and hide, protect Yue for me!"
Xiaopu sensed that aura too and said anxiously, "No, I can't leave you here alone; it's too dangerous!"
"You being here only complicates things for me. Hurry inside! By the time Chiba arrives, it might be too late!"
Xiaopu quickly nodded and turned back into the house.
...
The newcomers were familiar; they were the same four people from the Demon Realm, but this time there was an additional figure—a massive person, three times my height, walking behind them.
"Hand over that kid, or you won't live to leave."
I was puzzled. What had Yue done to make these people want him dead so badly?!
I stepped past the four and looked directly at the towering figure, saying, "If you want to touch him, you’ll have to defeat me first."
The giant smirked with a strange smile, and the four no longer showed the cowardice they had in the Demon Realm; they looked at me mockingly.
"Alright then, we'll kill you first."
