Lost Place

Where is the lost place in your memories 10 years ago?

———

Ever since that separation i have been behaving strangely, silently going to the market, visiting the sweets-selling shops, and asking around if they saw someone black haired, big, tall, wearing a fur coat.

As if i'm trying to figure out what he has been up to these days. Despite all the stuff that have happened, which caused this current situation, i do feel fond with him.

He might not be the most appealing person, his unstable mood and spoiled attituted does trickle me sometimes. But being around him gave me a sense of solitude.

I can be myself when i'm with him, i do not have to be the 'Peak Lord' who has to be seen with respect and fear, i do not have to act and wear a mask like i did in front of my superiors.

I honestly thought his weird act and mood swings is... Kind of cute.

People tremble with fear hearing the name of demon lord itself, but seeing him walk around buying sugar does make him seem like an ordinary human, which i found endearing.

That side of him, is the sight only seen after that incident which made him loses some part of his memories. The fight with Linguang-Jun 3 years ago, with the heart stabbed and poisoned, he fainted and had to rest for weeks.

The use of his shadow technique were taking a toll on him, executing that technique in itself were nearly impossible, and forcing himself to use it in a fatal condition were seriously worsening his own injuries.

But at that time, it's either fight or die. He had no choice but to kill his uncle before he got killed himself, in the end he wan't able to kill Linguang-Jun because Linguang-Jun ran away.

I, unfortunately, wasn't as esperienced as them in combat, compared to the demons who have lived for thousands of years, a merely human who is over 30 years old does not count that much. Although human cultivation does prolong the lifespan when reached at maxixum level, it does not enhance the experience like a battled soldiers did.

I learned healing spells and talismans since the age of 10, the boss who hired me kept books about it and i borrowed some of it as a cut payment for my delivering job.

Since i moved to Cang Qiong, i have been studying on it with the help of other peer cultivators.

Wait, Wait.

Unstable mood, unstable demonic energy, leaking energy without a proper constant input, dizziness and insanely high fever for weeks.

Causing memory loss, and may result to death of not treated immediately.

Highly doubted he even went to take proper examination of the wound. Mobei-Jun is very reckless when it comes to his body, since he comes from a demon race, he probably thought there's no need to maintain it at all.

What if he never recovers? I didn't notice his pain at all ever since we newly met near the fountain, he sure hid his pain well, is he trying not to make me worry?

I thought it was weird that he asked for my name when we met again that day, i did play along, thinking he was joking.

I must have been so out of focus to not notice something was wrong.

Shang Qinghua hurriedly ran outside, the rain was pouring, the streets were all covered in puddle. Without hesitation he ran through the forest and went to the place where they first met.

Cang Qiu lake, which located just a few steps away from Anzhe fountain. Mobei might not remember their actual first encounter at the lake, but at least i hope he went to visit the fountain, because that way, i could meet him again.

To my surprise, i saw his figure from behind standing beside the lake, looking into the rippling water from the rain which has stopped pouring.

The evening sun, seemingly melted into the air around him, covering his body with warm light. I couldn't take my gaze away from him, even for a second.
