Netherworld Retrograde

In the following time, Li Yelai waited for the Little Mad King to recover his memory, while the other human warriors were eagerly anticipating good news from all directions.

It was truly satisfying to take out all the dangerous enemies in one fell swoop, and then flatten their bases, reaping the spoils of war.

It was as if, in the real world, we defeated all the Kings of the Restricted Zone and the Forbidden Zone Supreme, then steamrolled all the forbidden zones, turning their resources and technology into our own. Just thinking about it is exhilarating; just swallowing one forbidden zone is enough to bring unimaginable benefits to a Giant City Circle.

After all, each forbidden zone has interior space folding, its territory comparable to a continent, rich in resources and vast lands. Despite the twisted order inside the forbidden zones that erodes the mind and body of ordinary people, it cannot be denied that they themselves are huge treasure vaults.

However, wanting to achieve this in the real world, it seems one must advance to the rank of Emperor, after all, the magnitude is different.

Li Yelai didn't even know how many Kings of Restricted Zones there are in the real world... some zones even have multiple kings.

Forget it, it's too far off... it's not something Li Yelai can consider at the moment.

Meanwhile, under Xia Ming's suggestion, Li Yelai also began to teach the Little Mad King. According to Xia Ming's speculation, this contact and teaching could accelerate the Little Mad King's recovery.

"She instinctively relies on you, perhaps because you were the first thing she saw after leaving the Chaos Sea, similar to the chick complex. Or maybe it was a choice rooted in her subconscious. Your curse is somewhat peculiar..."

During this time, Xia Ming had come to understand the "cost" or curse of Spiritual Ability Users in the "real world".

The Little Mad King's curse was to be suspected by all beings, maliciously speculated about. Passing by an accident scene, she'd be assumed to be the perpetrator. Passing through an alley, she'd be thought to be a streetwalker. Offering a glass of water, they'd suspect it was poisoned... Anything that happened nearby all seemed related to her, she was the culprit....

It's truly filled with malice. It's unimaginable what her mental state must've become.

And Li Yelai was someone who could suppress her curse and even fully trust her as a comrade.

So the Little Mad King's current behavior is understandable.

That's the only existence that trusts her, from the girl's perspective, even more important than herself.

"Although I cannot study whatever Chaos Sea there was as there's nothing left on the scene. But judging from your previous behaviors, that instinct still exists." Xia Ming explained to Li Yelai while looking at a map: "Erasing existence is indeed a marvelous technology, but since she is recovering, letting her re-engage with originally familiar knowledge and common sense should speed up her recovery."

Human heroes once delved into battlefields, searching for traces of the Chaos Sea.

But to no avail, it was an anomaly of the Sea Nether, theoretically, it should disappear upon Sea Nether's death. It's merely being prolonged and controlled by a certain god. It indeed cannot exist for too long.

This made Xia Ming regretful; if this great weapon could be obtained, the combat prowess of humans could be significantly enhanced.

Xia Ming paused, his previously worried expression turning into a gossipy one. Well, even a scholar obsessed with academics likes gossip.

"I heard, last night while you were showering, Lord Jiang Ling dashed in?" Xia Ming laughed.

Li Yelai was a bit embarrassed, nodding slightly.

"Indeed upright, Champion. It's hard to imagine you even became the Jile Divine Chosen, even if by deceit.... A pretty girl who lost memory and only approaches you. Completely defenseless, no matter what you do, she probably wouldn't resist, as long as you don't leave her side." Xia Ming said: "Generally, with other men, the girl would already be ready for pregnancy planning."

"She trusts me so much, even after being forgotten, following me. How can I betray her trust? Would I still be human?" Li Yelai responded.

The Little Mad King's current state nearly made it impossible for her to leave his side. Most times, she'd hold onto his arm as if clinging to a life-saving straw.

Even if she occasionally lets go upon indication, it must be within visible range, as if he was her only anchor to this world.

This made him somewhat awkward in recent days.

Whether dining, participating in tactical discussions, or simply walking, she followed like a shadow.

Only when washing could he obtain a brief moment of solitude. Surely Li Yelai shouldn't have her clinging while showering, right? He also couldn't help her wash, but could only find female warriors to assist. During that time, Li Yelai couldn't be too far away.

Last night, while Li Yelai was washing, she suddenly burst in, grasping Li Yelai's arm.

This left Li Yelai momentarily unsure whether to dry himself or to put on clothes. Her expression always remained free of shyness or blushing, purely worried about being abandoned.

And every morning upon waking, he'd always find her quietly lying by the bedside, as if guarding, or simply needing to confirm his existence.

Alright, to be fair, the former Little Mad King also had similar traits.

But as a top assassin, even when performing protection tasks, she would silently merge into shadows, never overtly displaying such dependence...

This instinctive trust and closeness... I actually occupy such an important place in her heart.

'Now I truly feel like an old father....' Li Yelai thought, looking at the girl behind him, stepping on his shadow, with a slightly cute expression, he gently brushed away a strand of hair hanging at the corner of her mouth, feeling both helpless and moved.
