The Fusion of Souls (1)

In the room of Thirteenth Young Master Ye, after a period of unusual tranquility, someone finally broke the silence.

"Young Master, you're finally awake! I was so worried about you!" Tiger Girl's voice was filled with joy, and also a hint of tears she had never shown before.

"Who are you people?" Thirteenth Young Master looked at the four women holding him with confusion. At this moment, he seemed not to recognize the women who were so important to him.

"..." Silence. The four women let go of Thirteenth Young Master and stared at him with their beautiful eyes.

"Young Master, don't you recognize us?"

"Son, don't you remember?"

The four women immediately pressed him, and wanted to send for the royal physician residing there to see what was going on. Why did Thirteenth Young Master seem to have amnesia? Could it be because of the electric shock, causing an error in his memory system?

"You..."

Thirteenth Young Master looked at the four women. A current seemed to flash through his mind, and fragments of images flickered in his head...

"Ah!" Thirteenth Young Master clutched his head and let out a heart-wrenching cry of pain, then fainted once more.

"Young Master, Young Master..."

"Son..."

"Brother..."

"Ye Lang..."

Four voices cried out simultaneously, and they rushed forward again.

Soon, the royal physician arrived. After understanding the situation, he immediately began to examine and treat Thirteenth Young Master, trying to wake him up.

This time, Thirteenth Young Master responded to the royal physician's call and slowly regained consciousness. He opened his eyes again, with a hint of confusion still in his gaze, but this confusion quickly disappeared.

"You..." Thirteenth Young Master looked at Tiger Girl and the others.

"Young Master, you don't need to think about it now. If you don't remember us, it's okay. You can remember slowly later," Tiger Girl said immediately. She was afraid Thirteenth Young Master would faint again and suffer more pain.

"You silly girl. How could I possibly not remember you? I was just a bit disoriented," Thirteenth Young Master said with a slight smile and a very gentle tone. His speech was still slow, but this time the slowness felt different from before.

Not only that, but Thirteenth Young Master's entire demeanor seemed to have changed.

"Then you remember us, you don't have amnesia?" Tiger Girl asked on behalf of everyone.

"Of course, I don't have amnesia. You are my good Tiger Girl, she is my eternally youthful mother, she is my unruly sister, and she is the beautiful and gentle Seventh Princess." Thirteenth Young Master said with a smile, pointing to each person present.

At this moment, everyone hadn't seemed to notice that Thirteenth Young Master's address for the Seventh Princess had completely changed; it was no longer "wife" as before.

Everyone was happy now, happy that Thirteenth Young Master hadn't lost his memory. Other matters were temporarily overlooked by them.

"That's great, you scared me to death. I was so afraid you'd forget me, Young Master." Tiger Girl hugged Thirteenth Young Master, her voice still carrying a hint of fear.

"What a silly girl. Even if I forget everyone else, I'll never forget you," Thirteenth Young Master said with a smile. However, his words would provoke the other three women present.

"What did you say?!" Ye Lanyu and the other two women immediately questioned him, especially Ye Lanyu and Long Anqi, who each twisted one of Thirteenth Young Master's ears.

"You little brat (little scoundrel), I (sister) raised you for nothing (loved you for nothing)!" They yelled at him simultaneously, one on each side.

"Uh, I was wrong! I meant to say, even if I forget who I am, I won't forget you," Thirteenth Young Master said immediately.

"Hmph, we'll let you off this time!" They both said at the same time, then gently hugged Thirteenth Young Master. It was unclear how they managed to hug him; how could a thirteen-year-old boy be hugged by so many people?

"Ye Lang, do you still remember why you came home?" The Seventh Princess asked curiously, seeing that everyone had calmed down. This was also what everyone wanted to know.

"Uh, this is kind of a stupid thing. I wanted to come back and tell Tiger Girl that I was going to stay in your palace that night because there was a thunderstorm," Thirteenth Young Master said a little sheepishly.

"..." Silence. Everyone present found it both funny and exasperating. If he could have returned, he wouldn't have needed to stay overnight. Only he could do something so foolish.

After a while, Tiger Girl asked, "Young Master, were you afraid I'd worry?" She could sense the underlying meaning. After all, she had been with Thirteenth Young Master for so many years, and she understood what he was thinking quite well.

"Yes," Thirteenth Young Master admitted with a nod.

"Young Master... you're so stupid!" Although Tiger Girl said this, her heart felt incredibly warm. She felt that all the hardships before were not worth mentioning.

"Yes, I am stupid. I've done many foolish things in my life, but this foolish thing turned out to be right, otherwise I wouldn't have been struck by lightning, and I wouldn't have..." Thirteenth Young Master said with a smile, but he trailed off at the end.

Ye Lanyu said exasperatedly, "You're happy about being struck by lightning? You really are an idiot... Wait, no, brother, what you're saying today sounds strange, completely different from before."

"Yeah, I felt it was a bit strange too. Xiao Lang's words have an indescribable feeling. What kind of feeling is it?" Long Anqi chimed in, also confused.

"Mmm, I feel the same way," the Seventh Princess agreed.

If it were someone else, they might not have noticed Thirteenth Young Master's change. But these women who cared about him, even if they didn't realize it immediately, would eventually sense something was off.

"This is just your imagination, it must be," Thirteenth Young Master said.

Tiger Girl looked at Thirteenth Young Master and simply said, "Young Master has become smarter!"

That's right, that was the feeling. He used to like saying silly things, but his words today were completely devoid of that silliness. And could someone who called his past actions foolish be a foolish person?

"Brother, did getting struck by lightning make you enlightened?" Ye Lanyu asked, stroking Thirteenth Young Master's head in confusion.

"..." Thirteenth Young Master remained silent. Ye Lanyu's guess was indeed quite accurate.

Thirteenth Young Master was Ye Lang, the lucky one who discovered a treasure trove of martial arts in despair, but was also unlucky enough to be hit by a rare hundred-year meteor, causing him to vanish from Earth. Perhaps due to his strong "dying wish," he actually became a powerful and influential prodigal son, constantly squandering and wasting his fortune.
