Li Xiaonan suddenly turned around, gazing at the women who had appeared on the second floor. His eyes were cold and piercing, striking fear into their hearts.
Ling Kui frowned as she looked at the murderous aura surrounding Li Xiaonan.
Yun Moyu, who was about to step forward, instinctively took a step back and said, "What's wrong with Xiao Nan? It seems like he doesn't recognize us anymore..."
Li Xiaonan's Inner Demon surged forth as he coldly declared, "You made Hong Lian's clothes wet; you all deserve to die!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand. Seeing that Li Xiaonan was being controlled by the Inner Demon, Hong Lian quickly jumped onto a bench, grasped his hands, and forced them together while chanting the Six-Character Great Bright Mantra.
Brilliant golden light emanated from her palms, illuminating her delicate face and making her appear particularly devout and pure.
Li Xiaonan slowly closed his eyes, his fierce expression gradually calming down.
After a long moment, he opened his eyes in confusion and looked at Hong Lian, who was reciting the Sutra. He softly asked, "I... I was controlled by the Inner Demon again?"
Hong Lian exhaled a breath of relief and smiled as she held his hand. "It's okay! I'm here for you!"
With a grin, she jumped down from the chair and approached the waiter. Forming a lotus gesture with her hands, a beam of Buddhist light shone upon him.
The swelling on his cheeks immediately subsided, and even the teeth he had lost grew back.
The waiter was astonished and quickly knelt down, covering his face. "Thank you, fairy! Thank you, fairy!"
"No need for thanks; I'm hungry. Bring me some good food!" Hong Lian said with a smile.
The waiter nodded eagerly, glancing at Li Xiaonan with fear in his eyes before scrambling down the stairs.
Li Xiaonan quietly gazed at everything, feeling a deep sense of regret, yet helpless.
He returned to his seat with his hands clasped together and began to chant, completely unaware of the group of women gathered at the foot of the stairs.
"Sister Ling, what should we do now?" Yun Moyu asked with a furrowed brow.
"Let's sit down and observe for now," Ling Kui replied, lightly frowning and sighing.
A group of women, each with their own unique style yet all as beautiful as Celestial Beings, found a large table by the window and directed their gazes toward Li Xiaonan and Hong Lian.
Before long, the dishes were served.
Hong Lian continuously placed food from her plate into Li Xiaonan's bowl, her lively eyes occasionally glancing to the side.
She whispered, "Nameless, have you noticed that a few beautiful sisters over there keep stealing glances at you?"
Li Xiaonan was taken aback. Following her gaze, he frowned slightly, wondering to himself: Who are they? Why do they seem so familiar?
Why did he feel a mix of sweet and sour emotions rising within him?
Seeing Li Xiaonan looking in her direction, Ling Kui's cold eyes met his.
In that moment, time seemed to stand still.
Li Xiaonan licked his lips, unable to suppress the stirring in his heart. He slowly stood up and walked toward Ling Kui and her companions.
With his hands clasped together in greeting, he said, "Amitabha. Ladies, have we met before?"
Fei Ji frowned and replied, "Xiao Nan, you don't remember us?"
"Demons!" Li Xiaonan exclaimed in shock.
Lu Nishang hurriedly stepped in front of Fei Ji, fearing that Li Xiaonan might suddenly attack and accidentally harm Fei Ji.
The atmosphere became somewhat awkward. Ling Kui stood up and said, "Lu Nishang, there's no need to worry. Although Xiao Nan doesn't remember us, I believe he won't harm Fei Ji."
As she spoke, she looked at Li Xiaonan and asked, "Am I right, Xiao Nan? Even if you've forgotten us, you wouldn't ignore us completely, would you?"
"I..." Li Xiaonan furrowed his brow tightly, gazing at Ling Kui's smiling face, his heart began to ache.
Yun Moyu stood up, tears welling in her eyes as she said, "Li Xiaonan, you jerk! Where have you run off to this time? You've even forgotten who you are!"
"I..." Li Xiaonan found himself at a loss for words once again.
Yuan Xian'er said, "What we want is not your protection; we just want to be with you, whether in life or death. We only wish to never part from each other." Her gaze flickered, as if tears were about to spill over.
Seeing several of the girls on the verge of tears made Li Xiaonan panic.
He hurriedly said, "Please... don't cry... I really have forgotten some things; it wasn't intentional. If I've hurt any of you in the past, even if it means paying with my life, I'm willing!"
"Pfft!"
Lu Nishang laughed through her tears and said, "Brother Xiaonan, you're such a big fool! We are all your wives; how could we bear to let you pay with your life? Is that adorable little girl your new addition?"
"I..." Li Xiaonan looked at Lu Nishang clinging to his arm, completely unsure how to respond.
Wives? These women are my wives?
But I'm a monk! When did I enter the secular world? When did I acquire these beautiful wives?
"Wait... wait a moment, I need to think..." Li Xiaonan furrowed his brows, shaking off Lu Nishang's hand, and squatted down on the ground, clutching his head as he desperately tried to recall the past, but his mind remained blank.
Hong Lian, who had been watching them, shook her head and said, "Ladies, why don't you give Nameless a break? If this continues, not only will he be unable to remember anything, but his Inner Demon might just come out!"
She pushed herself up and nimbly jumped down from the bench.
Ling Kui nodded slightly at her and said, "It seems that you have taken great care of him along the way. On behalf of all the sisters, I thank you. If you don't mind, we can all be good sisters from now on."
"Hehe, sounds great! Hong Lian has met all of you! You all seem to know Nameless very well; please tell me your stories!"
Ling Kui glanced at Li Xiaonan, who was still squatting in the corner drawing circles, and took Hong Lian's hand, introducing each of the women to her while briefly explaining Li Xiaonan's past and his relationship with them.
Li Xiaonan remained on the ground, his head lowered. However, his ears perked up as he listened intently to Ling Kui's narration, trying hard to recall the past. Unfortunately, all he felt was a splitting headache and nothing more.
Hong Lian listened to the stories while enjoying some snacks, nodding occasionally.
She burped contentedly and said, "Ladies, don't worry. I’ll take Nameless home with you; maybe he’ll remember something then."
Ling Kui smiled and wiped away the cake crumbs from the corner of Hong Lian's mouth with her fingertip. "Xiao Nan has always been lucky; whenever he's in trouble, there are always girls to help him. Thank you, Hong Lian."
Hong Lian blushed slightly and ran a few steps over to Li Xiaonan, who had been eavesdropping. She squatted down beside him and patted his shoulder with a grin.
"Look at you, Nameless! You're even better than a playboy! So many beautiful sisters are willing to be your wives! You don’t plan to abandon them after causing such chaos, do you?"
"N-no... I... I can't remember anything..." Li Xiaonan bit his lip awkwardly.
She laughed and said, "Well, we have nowhere else to go. Why not go home with the beautiful sisters? They say your name is Li Xiaonan; doesn’t that sound familiar to you?"
Li Xiaonan stared blankly for a moment before shaking his head again after pondering for a while.
"Fool! Dustless has mentioned this name more than once, Nameless! Have you forgotten someone very important?" Hong Lian smiled as she looked back at Ling Kui and the others.
Li Xiaonan stared blankly in the direction of her gaze.
Are they the important people I forgot?
So, is that why I feel so strange when I see them?
Seeing Li Xiaonan in a daze, Hong Lian shook her head, grabbed his hand, and pulled him up. "Are you planning to grow mushrooms or what? Get up!"
As she spoke, she squeezed Li Xiaonan's hand tightly.
The warmth seemed to give Li Xiaonan a sense of reassurance. He took a deep breath and grasped Hong Lian's hand in return, following Ling Kui and the others out of the teahouse.
The evening in Qingyu City was still bustling, with colorful glass lanterns hanging along the streets, swaying in the wind.
The pedestrians on the street consciously made way for them; after all, Li Xiaonan and his group were too eye-catching.
Before long, they entered the royal palace of Qingyu City.
Ling Kui had already informed the palace about Li Xiaonan's return using Big Brother Phone.
In the vast Royal Garden, many people had gathered—Li Xiaonan's closest friends and family.
Huang Yan was the first to spot Li Xiaonan. She swayed and dashed to his side.
Raising her hand, she gave Li Xiaonan a hard slap on the head. "You idiot Li Xiaoyang! You're about to get married and still playing hide-and-seek! If your master were here, he would definitely break your legs!"
She had been in seclusion and heard that Li Xiaonan was getting married. She specifically came out of seclusion but didn't expect this groom-to-be to suddenly go missing. Now that she saw him, she was filled with both joy and anger.
Li Xiaonan touched his head, standing there in a daze.
Mei Yingluo smiled at him and stepped forward, saying, "It's good that you're back!"
Ling Kui reminded him, "This is Master's Wife, this is Mother."
Li Xiaonan obediently nodded and called out, "Master's Wife, Mother."
Huang Yan and Mei Yingluo exchanged glances, their brows furrowing in concern.
There was no flicker of emotion in Li Xiaonan's eyes; this silence was too unusual.
Ling Kui explained, "Xiao Nan has lost his memory."
"What!"
Though Ling Kui's voice was not loud, everyone in the courtyard heard it clearly and gasped in disbelief almost simultaneously.
One by one, they rushed over, trying to get their heads close to Li Xiaonan.
"Master! It's me, Little Year! Your disciple!"
Li Xiaonan shook his head, indicating that he did not remember.
Qing Yu Year said with a pained expression, "Oh no... I'm so pitiful! Master doesn't even recognize me!"
"Get away from me! Xiao Nan, I'm your Father-in-law, Spirit Weapon. Do you remember?" Ling Kui pushed Qing Yu Year aside and said.
Li Xiaonan frowned slightly and continued to shake his head.
"Boss, I'm An Quan Tao, and this is Peach. She's Chestnut. We are your spirit pets, remember? And this is Little Jiu, Bald Fire Phoenix! We are all your spirit pets, don't you remember?"
"Boss, I'm Ling Xingyao, and this is my wife, Ming Ruoyun. We rushed over from Langya Mountain. Do you remember us?"
"Dad, I'm Xiao Bei, your daughter. You don't even remember me?"
Li Xiaonan took a step back in shock. How... how do I already have a daughter?
Li Xiaobei sighed and followed the others to the side.
Qing An furrowed his brows and stepped in front of Li Xiaonan. "I'm Qing An... I wonder if you still remember me..."
Li Xiaonan's expression suddenly brightened as he threw a bear hug around Qing An.
Everyone was astonished, especially his wives, who all had the same thought: What’s going on with Xiao Nan? He doesn’t remember anyone but this Little Monk!
Qing An's face turned beet red, unsure if it was from being squeezed by Li Xiaonan or from nervousness or shyness.
He gently patted Li Xiaonan's shoulder and said, "Let... let go..."
Li Xiaonan shook his head, tightening his grip even more as he excitedly exclaimed, "No way! Dustless! It's you! It really is you! Hahaha!"
