Chapter 125: Chapter 125 Retrieving Past Life Memories_1

The old Master Dugu faced his wife with a thick-skinned smile and said, "What’s there to be ashamed of? It’s our Shenzhou Country’s tradition to talk about feelings over drinks. When you’re drunk, the affection is deeper, wouldn’t you say so?"

All the men responded in unison, "The old master is right! Hahahaha..."

Madam Dugu, seeing everyone supporting the old master, laughed with a face of displeasure, "You all just spoil him!"

The meal was a convivial affair, with cups and pitchers intermingling merrily and both guests and hosts thoroughly enjoying themselves.

And the moment Zixi and Ye Ningning led the Shen Family back to the Dugu Family, the entire elite circle of the Capital City was shaken.

When the Ning Family received the news, they were even more infuriated.

Ning Fengyi, who had heard the news, was in the living room tearfully saying to Ning Changsheng with an air of pitifulness, "Grandpa, didn’t you say someone was already sent to deal with that little wretch? How come she’s totally fine and has even smoothly entered the Capital City?"

Hearing this bad news, Ning Changsheng was just as frustrated and restless as Ning Fengyi.

Seeing Ning Fengyi crying so miserably, he felt it bad luck and couldn’t help but lose his temper and shout at her, "Enough, enough with the crying. What’s there to cry about? Seeing the situation now, I’m more anxious than you are. I’ve thrown out so much money, yet nothing was accomplished. I want to know what the hell happened!"

Ning Fengyi said anxiously, "Grandpa, why don’t you go ask now? Our family’s money can’t be wasted for nothing!"

Ning Changsheng snorted coldly, "I should indeed find out what happened."

Having said that, Ning Changsheng went upstairs, entered his study, took out his cell phone, and dialed a number.

As soon as the call went through, Ning Changsheng demanded in a stern voice, "Go ask Black Thorn what the hell is going on. Didn’t I tell them to settle the target before tomorrow? Have they made a move or not? How did the target manage to enter the Imperial Capital smoothly?"

The person on the other end replied, "I’ve already asked. Black Thorn said the target is tough to handle. They sent an assassin ranked 14th, but he was killed. They’re now demanding that we raise the price."

Upon hearing this, Ning Changsheng became furious, "What? I gave them five million, and they didn’t accomplish a thing, now they want more? Are they trying to rob me?"

The person on the other end remained silent.

Ning Changsheng took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart, and asked another question, "How much more do they want?"

"Another five million, no success, no peace!"

Ning Changsheng gritted his teeth, "Fine, I’ll give them another five million. If they still can’t do it, huh..."

The person on the other end of the phone sneered coldly, even if they fail, what could you do to Black Thorn? You’re still going to have to suck it up!

No matter what, the Ning Family had met Black Thorn’s terms. If Black Thorn truly couldn’t complete the task, it wouldn’t be good for their reputation either. Once word got out, Black Thorn would struggle to do business.

A price of ten million, if it could eliminate that woman and push Ning Fengyi to the top, would be well worth it.

Of course, Shen Tianxing was unaware that her blood-related grandfather was time and again spending large sums of money in attempts to take her life.

At this time, she had returned from the Dugu Family to the Imperial Capital Hotel.

Tomorrow, she and Zixi would hold their grand engagement ceremony in the hotel’s banquet hall. Just thinking about it filled her with excitement and anticipation.

Shen Tianxing couldn’t sleep. She simply set up a barrier in her hotel room to prevent anyone from spying and monitoring, and then, with a flash, she entered her space.

Zixi hadn’t come to the space this evening; Shen Tianxing guessed he was probably still busy outside.

Unable to calm her mind for cultivation, Shen Tianxing decided to collect herbs, pick Spirit Fruit, and dive into the space’s lake to catch fish...

Not until she had worn herself out did she consume a Condensed Spirit Pill, then sat down with crossed legs to recover the Spiritual Energy she had depleted.

As she entered the state of meditation, Zixi also flashed into the space.

He looked at Shen Tianxing, who was meditating with closed eyes, with tenderness, and sat down cross-legged beside her.

Zixi glanced at the time. With only a few hours left until dawn, he and Xiaoxing would soon become fiancés. He felt the same way as Shen Tianxing: excited, thrilled, and full of anticipation.

Dugu Zixi’s lips curved with a faint smile as he emptied his mind and closed his eyes, letting his thoughts drift freely.

Lost in his musings, he suddenly saw a large door appear deep within his sea of consciousness.

The door was tightly shut.

His consciousness flickered to the door, and he reached out to push it forcefully.

The door did not open.

Dugu Zixi felt as if something inside was calling out to him. Not giving up, he extended both hands again and pushed hard.

This time, the door burst open with a loud bang and slowly swung open.

Dugu Zixi saw a place of such unearthly beauty that it didn’t seem of this world, appearing within his mind.

There were fairy mountains and spiritual springs, cranes and other flying creatures, exquisite pavilions and towers, and intoxicatingly fragrant fairy flowers and herbs...

Everything here felt so familiar to him, as though he had lived here for a very long time.

Where was this?

Just as Dugu Zixi was pondering this, he suddenly heard a tender and clear voice ring out, "Master, Master, where are you? Your disciple has returned..."

Disciple?

This voice... it was also so familiar!

Soon, Dugu Zixi saw a small girl, carved like jade and rosy-cheeked, trotting in from outside the door, flanked by two maids.

As she ran, she kept calling out, "Master, Master..."

Dugu Zixi quickly saw a man dressed in white celestial robes with an extraordinary demeanor, appear in front of the pretty little girl.

He looked at her with eyes full of indulgence and picked her up, softly laughing and asking, "Little Xingxing, where did you go to play this time?"

When he got a clear view of the man’s appearance, Dugu Zixi’s heart trembled.

This man... why does he look exactly like him?

That beautiful little girl was clearly Little Xingxing when she was young!

Could it be... that these were the memories of his past life sealed deep within his soul?

Dugu Zixi watched entranced as his past self and Little Xingxing depended on each other, living days of affection and love.

Under his boundless doting, Little Xingxing gradually grew up.

The young girl, at the cusp of adolescence, poured all her affection onto him.

Just as he was ready to respond to her love with equal passion, he unexpectedly divined a terrible outcome.

He would be the fatal disaster of the child’s life! They were doomed to be apart!

After that, he began to avoid her.

Yet she persistently chased after him, unwilling to give up.

Many times, seeing her tirelessly following behind him, he wanted to stop and hold her tightly in his arms to comfort her, just as he did when she was younger.

But the thought of her dying because of him made him steel his heart and avoid gazing at her stubborn yet affectionate face.
