Traveling through thousands of years, I only love you

Chapter 39 Memory Recovery

Li Lingyuan held Xiao Yi's hand tightly as they stood in a foggy area. The air around them seemed to carry a mysterious aura, and a faint light flickered in the fog, as if guiding their path forward.

"Xiao Yi, we must find your memory." Li Lingyuan's eyes were firm. She could feel Xiao Yi's inner confusion and uneasiness, which was a fear of losing his past.

Xiao Yi nodded slightly. Although his mind was still in chaos, Li Lingyuan's presence was like a beacon in the fog. They slowly moved forward along the faint light, the road under their feet seeming illusory, with slight fluctuations with every step.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, an ancient bridge appeared before us. It was paved with massive bluestone slabs, inscribed with ancient runes and emitting a faint blue glow. Beneath the bridge flowed a swiftly flowing river, its water a dreamy silver, its flow echoing with a clear, resonant sound, as if telling a story from long ago.

"This bridge..." Xiao Yi frowned, an inexplicable sense of familiarity surged in his heart, but he could not grasp the fleeting thought.

"Let's go." Li Lingyuan pulled Xiao Yi onto the stone bridge. As soon as they stepped onto it, the surrounding scenery changed instantly. A fierce wind blew up, almost making them unable to stand. Xiao Yi held Li Lingyuan in his arms, using his body to shield him from the biting wind.

Blurred figures loomed in the raging wind. It was as if they were engaged in a fierce battle, with shouts and the clash of weapons unceasing. Xiao Yi's head began to ache violently, and fragmented images flashed through his mind.

"Kill!" He seemed to hear his own roar, saw the sword waving in his hand, and blood splattered on his face. It was a cruel and bloody scene.

"Xiao Yi, what's wrong with you?" Li Lingyuan looked at Xiao Yi's painful expression anxiously.

Xiao Yi gritted his teeth and said, "I seem to have seen something. I've been here before."

The wind gradually died down, and they continued forward. After crossing the stone bridge, they arrived at a desolate battlefield. The ground was littered with broken limbs and weapons, and the air was thick with the smell of blood. Li Lingyuan's face paled, but she didn't retreat, because she knew this was the key to regaining Xiao Yi's memory.

Xiao Yi walked slowly across the battlefield, his gaze fixed on a longsword stuck in the ground. The sword had a simple, ancient design, its hilt inlaid with a blue gem. It was the very sword he remembered carrying. He stepped forward, grasped the hilt, and pulled with force. Instantly, a beam of light shot up into the sky, and the surrounding scene shifted once more.

They were in a magnificent palace, surrounded by ornate decorations and a splendid atmosphere. The hall was filled with people, each dressed in gorgeous attire, as if for a grand celebration. Xiao Yi saw himself on the throne, clad in a dragon robe and crown, looking incredibly majestic.

"Your Majesty, today is the centenary celebration of our dynasty. It is truly a cause for celebration." A minister stepped forward and said.

More memories flooded into Xiao Yi's mind. He was the emperor of this dynasty, and he once ruled the country and protected his people. However, a sudden conspiracy put him in trouble, and he lost everything, including his memory.

"So... I am the king here." Xiao Yi muttered to himself.

Li Lingyuan looked at him, his eyes full of surprise: "You remembered!"

But at this moment, the palace began to shake violently, and darkness rolled in from all directions. A dark figure appeared before them, chuckling eerily: "Do you think you can easily regain your memories? I will destroy everything once again!"

Xiao Yi gripped the sword tightly in his hand and protected Li Lingyuan behind him: "No matter who you are, I will not let you succeed."

The shadowy figure suddenly charged at Xiao Yi, who swung his sword to meet it. A fierce battle ensued in the darkness, swords clashing and light flashing. Xiao Yi felt his strength steadily returning, each swing of his sword carrying with it memories and strength from the past.

Li Lingyuan watched nervously from the side. She wanted to help but didn't know how to start. Suddenly, she saw a glowing crystal ball behind the black shadow. The crystal ball seemed to contain Xiao Yi's complete memories.

She rushed towards the crystal ball desperately. Just when she was about to touch the crystal ball, the black shadow discovered her intention and abandoned Xiao Yi and rushed towards her. Seeing this, Xiao Yi used all his strength to stab the black shadow with a sword. The black shadow was unable to dodge and was stabbed by the sword, letting out a scream.

Li Lingyuan seized the opportunity to grab the crystal ball and ran to Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi took the crystal ball, and the moment his hand touched it, all his memories came flooding back. He remembered his name, his country, and the love he had with Li Lingyuan that spanned a thousand years.

"Lingyuan, I remember everything." Xiao Yi hugged Li Lingyuan tightly.

The darkness around them gradually dissipated, and they returned to the real world. Xiao Yi looked at Li Lingyuan with deep affection in his eyes: "Thank you for accompanying me to regain my memory."

Li Lingyuan smiled and said, "As long as you can remember everything, it's fine."

They left this mysterious place hand in hand, and their story will continue to be written in the recovered memories, carrying their love and protection for each other, towards an unknown future.

They returned to the familiar town, where everything was still as peaceful as ever. But for Xiao Yi, it felt different. Every corner seemed to hold traces of the past. Looking at the street stalls, he seemed to see the scene where he and Li Lingyuan had laughed and laughed.

"Lingyuan, let's go and see the places we have been to before." Xiao Yi suggested.

They arrived at the sea of ​​flowers at the edge of town. The flowers were still in full bloom, a dazzling display of color. A gentle breeze blew, and the sea of ​​flowers undulated like waves. Xiao Yi pulled Li Lingyuan into the sea of ​​flowers, their fragrance filling the air and bringing a sense of peace and joy.

"It's still so beautiful here." Li Lingyuan closed his eyes and enjoyed the wonderful atmosphere.

Xiao Yi picked a flower and put it in Li Lingyuan's hair: "You are more beautiful than flowers."

Li Lingyuan blushed and glanced at Xiao Yi in a reproachful manner: "You only know how to say sweet words."

They strolled through the sea of ​​flowers, recalling the past, and those beautiful moments blossomed in their hearts like the flowers in the sea.

However, the peaceful days did not last long. After Xiao Yi regained his memory, he knew that his former enemies would not let him go easily. Strange things began to happen around the town, and mysterious figures appeared at night, causing the villagers to panic.

Xiao Yi, realizing the impending danger, decided to protect the town and Li Lingyuan. He began training the town's young people, teaching them martial arts and defensive techniques. Li Lingyuan also assisted, using her wisdom to prepare supplies and develop a defense plan for the group.

One night, the enemy finally attacked. A large number of men in black rushed into the town, wielding sharp blades and with menacing expressions. Xiao Yi led the young men in a fierce battle against the enemy. He wielded his sword like a god of war, crushing the enemy wherever he went.

Li Lingyuan treated the injured in the rear, her eyes always focused on Xiao Yi. During the battle, Xiao Yi found that these enemies were stronger than he thought, and they seemed to be supported by some mysterious power.

"We can't let them succeed," Xiao Yi thought to himself. He unleashed his most powerful attack, a stream of sword energy piercing the sun like a rainbow, charging towards the enemy. Seeing this, the enemy leader personally engaged in resistance. The two engaged in another fierce battle, this time even more thrilling.

Seeing Xiao Yi locked in a fierce battle, Li Lingyuan rushed to the battlefield, disregarding the danger. In her hand, she held a mysterious talisman, which she had stumbled upon while searching for Xiao Yi's memories. As she chanted something, the talisman shone brightly, and she rushed towards the enemy leader.

The enemy leader was struck by the light and paused. Xiao Yi took the opportunity to stab him with his sword, knocking him back. Seeing that their leader was injured, the enemy began to retreat. Xiao Yi did not pursue him, knowing that this was just the beginning and that greater challenges were yet to come.

After this battle, the townspeople showed even greater respect for Xiao Yi. They knew that only by uniting around him could they resist the enemy's attacks. Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan also understood that they must be better prepared to face the unknown dangers.

They began searching for more helpers, asking around for capable individuals. In the process, they met a reclusive old man. Though seemingly ordinary, he possessed a sagacious gaze. He told Xiao Yi that to completely defeat the enemy, he must find the legendary artifact.

"Artifact? Where is it?" Xiao Yi asked.

The old man pointed to a mysterious mountain in the distance and said, "In that mountain, there is a mysterious cave. The artifact is inside. But finding it is not easy. The road is full of dangers."

Xiao Yi didn't hesitate at all: "I must find it."

Li Lingyuan also said firmly: "I will go with you."

So, they bid farewell to the people of the town and set out on a journey to find the artifact. Along the way, they encountered various difficulties and dangers, including steep cliffs, ferocious beasts, and mysterious mazes. But they supported each other and overcame difficulties time and time again.

When they finally reached the foot of the mysterious mountain, a powerful aura washed over them. The mountain was shrouded in mist, making it difficult to see the summit. They climbed the rugged path, each step filled with hardship.

During the climb, Li Lingyuan accidentally slipped and Xiao Yi quickly caught her. "Be careful." Xiao Yi held her tightly in his arms.

"I'm fine, let's continue." Li Lingyuan said with a smile.

After a long time of hard work, they finally found the mysterious cave. The cave was emitting a mysterious light and a faint aura of divine artifacts. However, the cave was surrounded by various traps, and if you were not careful, your life would be in danger.

Xiao Yi carefully observed his surroundings. Drawing on his experience and wisdom, he began to decipher the mechanism. Li Lingyuan assisted him, and the two worked in perfect harmony. After some effort, they successfully entered the cave.

Inside the cave, the artifact lay on a stone platform in front. It was a spear radiating a rainbow of light, its shaft engraved with mysterious runes, seemingly imbued with boundless power. Xiao Yi stepped forward, attempting to pick up the spear, but the moment his hand touched it, a powerful force knocked him back.

"What's going on?" Xiao Yi asked in surprise.

After careful observation, Li Lingyuan said, "This artifact seems to have its own consciousness. It's testing you."

Xiao Yi stood up and approached the spear again. This time, he concentrated, merging his own strength with the power in his memory, and slowly reached toward the spear. The spear seemed to sense his sincerity, its light gradually softening, and Xiao Yi finally grasped the spear.

The moment he picked up the spear, he felt his strength was enhanced to an unprecedented degree. He knew that with this magical weapon, they would have the capital to fight against the enemy.

With the artifact, they returned to the town. Seeing the artifact, the townspeople were filled with hope. They began actively preparing, awaiting the enemy's next attack. Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan also knew that the final decisive battle was approaching. They would fight for protection and for love.

While waiting for the enemy, Xiao Yi continued to familiarize himself with the power of the artifact and trained with the townspeople. Li Lingyuan, on the other hand, studied the enemy's weaknesses, searching for clues in various ancient books. Finally, the enemy attacked again, this time on a larger scale and with greater force.

Xiao Yi stood in front of the town, holding a sacred spear. Behind him stood the townspeople and Li Lingyuan. "Come on, this time, we're going to put an end to this once and for all," Xiao Yi shouted.

The battle was about to begin. Xiao Yi charged into the enemy camp like a tiger among sheep. Wherever his spear struck, the enemy was easily defeated like ants. Li Lingyuan commanded the troops from the rear, utilizing the terrain and fortifications to resist the enemy's attacks.

The enemy leader saw the artifact in Xiao Yi's hand, and greed flashed in his eyes. He rushed towards Xiao Yi himself, trying to snatch the artifact. Xiao Yi and him started a desperate struggle, and the two's power collided, generating a huge shock wave.

During the battle, Xiao Yi discovered that the enemy leader's strength had also increased significantly, and he seemed to have gained some mysterious power. However, Xiao Yi did not retreat. He relied on the power of the artifact and his own tenacious will to gradually gain the upper hand.

Seeing Xiao Yi locked in a fierce battle, Li Lingyuan once again summoned her talisman and, along with some of the town's special-powered individuals, unleashed a powerful spell, striking the enemy from behind. The enemy's position was thrown into disarray, and Xiao Yi seized the opportunity to unleash his full might, stabbing the enemy leader with a single spear. The leader, unable to dodge, was struck by the spear, uttering a horrible cry before collapsing dead.

Seeing their leader dead, the enemy fled in all directions. The townspeople cheered, having successfully resisted the enemy's attack. Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan hugged each other and cried. They had gone through countless hardships and dangers and finally protected everything they cherished.
