Chapter 335: 336 Sunny and Bright (First Update)

Elder Xu Kong said so, and even if Mo Zhixuan was reluctant, he couldn’t snub his face at this moment.

After all, Chu Jin’s life was indeed saved by him.

He took her hand and followed behind Dai Yu.

The sunlight outside was very good, extremely bright. Chu Jin stretched out her fingers to shield her eyes and slightly raised her eyebrows, feeling truly wonderful being bathed in sunlight again.

Warm and cozy, as if every cell in her body was dancing.

From Mo Zhixuan’s perspective, the hand covering her forehead was so pale it was nearly transparent, with slender and delicate fingers, soft and smooth.

"Is it hot?" Mo Zhixuan asked.

Chu Jin squinted her eyes, took a while to adjust to the strong sunlight, lowered her hand, and looked up at Mr. Mo, "Not hot."

She was born with a pair of enchanting peach blossom eyes. At this moment, the slight squint looked like little crescents, enough to captivate one’s soul.

Mo Zhixuan paused, feeling inexplicably pleased and tightened his grip on her hand.

The sunlight was just right, the breeze not too dry.

Though Chu Jin hadn’t remembered him up to now, he inexplicably liked this feeling.

Walking beside him brought a sense of security and fulfillment.

"Can I retrieve the memories I’ve lost?" Chu Jin was communicating with Zi in the Purple Lightning space with her consciousness.

Zi, no longer as timid as before, was leisurely nibbling on sunflower seeds, "Jin bro, I just checked, someone forcibly extracted your memories. It might be difficult to retrieve them, but don’t worry. Everything Nine Ye said is true; I can testify that he really is your fiancé."

Chu Jin raised an eyebrow, "Nine... Ye?"

Zi scratched his head and chuckled twice, "... the strong are addressed as ’Ye’."

Chu Jin didn’t speak, but her mind wondered who could have extracted her memories?

During the days she was unconscious, besides Mo Zhixuan, Elder Xu Kong, and Dai Yu, who else had approached her?

It was certain Mo Zhixuan wouldn’t extract her memories.

So, that only left Dai Yu and Elder Xu Kong.

Could it be them?

What would be their motive for extracting her memories?

Elder Xu Kong and Dai Yu didn’t seem like such people.

Moreover, they had saved her.

The matter... seemed somewhat complicated.

And then, there was that dream.

The Empress whose features she couldn’t discern.

As she pondered, the sweet voice of Dai Yu reached her ears, "Sister, Mr. Mo, we’re at the highest point of the mountain. Look, that is the Bridge of Past and Present Lives."

Chu Jin snapped out of her thoughts and cast her gaze in the direction Dai Yu pointed to.

Two mountain peaks stood opposite each other, with a thick and long iron chain leading to the other peak. The chain seemed very old, yet uncorroded, reflecting a chilling brilliance under the sunlight.

Cold at the heights, the abyss below the iron chain was covered in swirling mists, sparking trembles in one’s heart and weakness in the knees just by looking down.

If someone were to fall, they’d certainly be dashed to pieces, beyond redemption, with not even a corpse to be found.

There was a stone tablet next to the iron chain.

The tablet was about half the height of a person, with four characters carved as gracefully as a dragon in flight, ’Past and Present’.

In traditional characters.

The writing was very smooth, not appearing to have been chiseled slowly, but rather as if done with a sharp tool in one stroke.

Grand and imposing, yet extraordinarily firm.

It must have been the work of a man.

"This is... the bridge?" Chu Jin looked at the iron chain spanning the two mountains, her brow slightly furrowed.

An iron chain could be called a bridge?

Dai Yu nodded, "Yes, the Bridge of Past and Present Lives has looked this way since I can remember. My master said, the scenery on the other side is even more beautiful, and not only is it warm in winter and cool in summer, full of fruit, but there are also natural hot springs." Her eyes shone with intense interest and anticipation as she spoke.

Chu Jin slightly raised her eyebrows, "So you’re saying, you haven’t been to the other side of the bridge either?"

"Yes," Dai Yu smiled lightly, her tone tinged with regret, "I’m too scared to cross the bridge by myself, and my master and senior brothers are often too busy, so..."

Consisting of just a single iron chain, with no protective measures at the sides, this bridge was indeed a formidable challenge, particularly for a woman.

For one misstep, a lack of balance meant a sheer drop into the abyss below.

"Sister, would you like to go see the other side of the bridge?" Dai Yu’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Do you want to go?" Chu Jin asked, her eyebrow slightly raised, in response.

Dai Yu nodded gently, "... Yes."

Chu Jin looked at Dai Yu and suggested, "Then how about we go together to have a look?"

People are always curious about the mystery of the unknown, and Chu Jin was no exception.

"Sure, sister," Dai Yu said happily, linking arms with Chu Jin.

Mo Zhixuan frowned slightly displeased and spoke slowly, "Jin, you’ve just woken up, you’re still very weak, and this place is too dangerous, you can’t go."

Dai Yu looked up at Mo Zhixuan, her expression serious, "It’s okay, Mr. Mo, I will protect sister."

She would show Mr. Mo her strengths.

Chu Jin glanced at Mo Zhixuan, "Why don’t you come with us to take a look too?"

Knowing he couldn’t refuse her at this moment, Mo Zhixuan sighed softly, "Let’s go, stay close to me later."

"Okay." Chu Jin nodded lightly, her dimples slightly appearing as she smiled.
