Tang Hao took a deep breath to calm his excited emotions, then quickly headed toward Ah Yin.
"Ah Yin, I've missed you so much!" He suddenly lunged forward with his arms spread wide, ready to pull Ah Yin into his embrace. But how could Ah Yin let him have his way? She tilted aside and dodged Tang Hao's hug. Tang Hao lost his balance and fell face-first onto the ground.
"What are you trying to do?" Ah Yin frowned. Today, she had already encountered several groups of people who harbored improper intentions toward her. But with her strength, dealing with those people had been far too easy.
Nuoding City was merely a small city. Its strongest experts were only Soul Elders, not even Soul Ancestors. How could they possibly pose any threat to her?
But this man before her!
She could only describe him as unfathomable!
Despite her strength, she could not sense the newcomer's cultivation at all. The moment her spiritual perception entered his body, it vanished into a vast ocean of Soul Power.
At least a Soul Douluo, perhaps even a Titled Douluo!
Ah Yin frowned, a trace of wariness rising in her heart. She had not expected this unremarkable, filthy man before her to possess such strength.
"Ah Yin? What's wrong? It's me, Tang Hao!" Tang Hao climbed up from the ground and stared at Ah Yin with blazing eyes as he spoke affectionately.
In his eyes, Ah Yin must simply have failed to recognize him just now!
"Tang Hao? You're Tang Hao?" When Ah Yin heard him say his name, her eyes lit up. This was the person Zhao Ming had tasked her with finding.
Seeing the unfamiliar look in Ah Yin's eyes, Tang Hao's expression changed. Could it be that Ah Yin no longer recognized him?
"Ah Yin, what's wrong? Don't you remember me?" Tang Hao breathed heavily through his nose and asked in disbelief.
"I don't know you. Also, my name is Zhi'er." Ah Yin frowned, thought for a moment, then shook her head.
Ah Yin's answer pained Tang Hao even more. It felt as though dozens of blades were carving across his heart. Every cut deepened his pain.
Ah Yin no longer remembered him, nor did she remember those happy times they had shared. A bitter smile appeared on Tang Hao's lips.
"Ah Yin, do you really not remember me? Look carefully. Look at this face of mine." As he spoke, Tang Hao reached for Ah Yin's hand.
But Ah Yin immediately pulled her hand back, refusing to let him touch her.
Seeing this, Tang Hao felt a pang of sorrow. They had once been so intimate, yet now they were so unfamiliar with each other.
Looking at Ah Yin's indifferent gaze, Tang Hao forcibly suppressed the grief in his heart.
Now that Ah Yin had returned, it was an incredibly joyous thing! Even if something had gone wrong with her and she had lost her memories, forgetting the happy and sweet experiences they had shared, he would surely find a way to help Ah Yin recover.
Even if she could not recover, they could fall in love all over again! Thinking of it that way, it was not necessarily a bad thing. After all, although Ah Yin had forgotten him, she had also forgotten those unpleasant experiences.
With that thought, the pain in Tang Hao's heart eased somewhat.
"Zhi'er, let's go to a hotel and eat. We can talk while we eat, all right?" After thinking for a moment, Tang Hao spoke.
"Mm." Ah Yin nodded lightly.
This time, Tang Hao did not try to take Ah Yin's hand again. He knew Ah Yin was a conservative woman. Now that she had lost her memories, he was merely an ordinary person in her eyes. She would never hold hands with an ordinary person.
Tang Hao walked in front, while Ah Yin followed behind. The two arrived at a hotel in Nuoding City and booked a private room. Tang Hao ordered several dishes according to Ah Yin's tastes.
Watching Ah Yin eat in small, delicate bites, Tang Hao spoke. "Zhi'er, your real name is Ah Yin. Do you know that? I'm your husband. The first time we met..."
"Don't say any more. I don't want to hear it right now." Ah Yin directly interrupted Tang Hao. At the same time, she felt somewhat displeased. She clearly belonged to Young Master; how could she possibly have any connection with this slovenly man?
Besides, she was still a virgin! How could she be his wife?
Sure enough, Young Master had been right!
This man was no good. Not a single word from his mouth was true! For no reason, a trace of disgust flashed through Ah Yin's heart, yet her expression did not change in the slightest.
Tang Hao froze after Ah Yin interrupted him. The old Ah Yin had never interrupted him. It seemed that her resurrection had cost her greatly, to the point that even her temperament had changed so much.
Right, resurrection!
Who had resurrected Ah Yin? And even if someone had resurrected her, how had Ah Yin found this place?
Tang Hao suddenly realized this problem.
"All right. I won't talk about our past today. Ah Yin, I want to ask you something."
"How were you resurrected? And since you've lost your memories, how did you know about me? Did someone send you to find me?" Tang Hao asked several questions in rapid succession.
However, Zhao Ming had long known Tang Hao would have these doubts. He had already prepared answers for Ah Yin and, incidentally, dug a pit for Tang Hao.
Following Zhao Ming's instructions, Ah Yin began to perform.
Her expression was perfectly in place.
"I don't remember anything from before. I only know that when I woke up, an incredibly beautiful woman was standing before me. She was the one who saved me. She told me that she was the God of Life. My Blue Silver Emperor aura was very compatible with her life attribute. She hoped that I would inherit her position as the God of Life in the future." Ah Yin revealed a reminiscing expression.
"So that's how it is, so that's how it is. Only the power of a god could possibly resurrect you." Tang Hao nodded excitedly.
He had never expected that Ah Yin had not only been resurrected, but also had the chance to receive a god's inheritance.
This was truly a double blessing! The only imperfection was perhaps Ah Yin's lost memories. But how could anything in this world be perfect? He was already completely satisfied with things as they were.
"Then why are you here now?" Tang Hao paused. "Did she send you?"
"Mm." Ah Yin said, "She told me that my current resurrection is only temporary. After one month, I will still die."
"Why? Didn't she want you to inherit her divine position?" Tang Hao abruptly stood from his chair. His face turned pale, and his mood instantly plunged from the clouds to the bottom of the sea.
"She sent me here to retrieve my Soul Ring and Spirit Bone. For a soul beast, a Spirit Bone is the essence of energy accumulated through cultivation over time, while a Soul Ring is the essence of its life. Only by retrieving these two things can I truly be resurrected."
"Is that so?" Tang Hao let out a sigh of relief.
