"Since it was so hard to forget, why bother remembering again."

In her wooden house, Little Green sat beside the bed, looking at her sister lying on the bed, recalling her master's words in her mind.

Little Green's eyelids lowered gently as she looked at the Memory Soul Pill in her palm, her eyes full of internal struggle.

"Little Green..."

When Little Green was lost in thought, her sister's weak voice came from the bed.

"Sister, how do you feel..." Little Green quickly put away the Memory Soul Pill and helped her sister sit up, leaning against the headboard.

"I don't know," Bai Ruxue frowned. "I feel like I had a very, very long dream, but I can't remember anything about what was in the dream."

"Little Green..." Bai Ruxue tightly gripped Little Green's wrist. "Can you tell me what exactly I've forgotten?"

"Sister... there really isn't much. It's just that we two sisters cultivated together on the mountain, and then sister, you transformed from python to boa and slept for many years. Nothing much." Little Green smiled, tightly clenching her fingers.

Bai Ruxue looked at her sister's lowered eyes and asked, "Really?"

"Really..." Little Green raised her head, tears flowing from the corners of her eyes. "Sister, everything Little Green said is true."

"If it's true, then why are you crying, Little Green?" Bai Ruxue said gently.

"Eh? Am I?" Little Green quickly reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "It's because sister has finally awakened, and Little Green is too happy..."

"I see..." Bai Ruxue reached out and gently caressed her sister's cheek. "It's alright, sister has returned."

"Mm-hmm." Little Green nodded heavily. "Then sister, let me go find you something to eat. Some spiritual flowers and grasses have grown on She Mountain recently. I'll gather them for sister to replenish your spiritual power."

"Good." Bai Ruxue nodded.

Watching her sister's departing figure, Bai Ruxue furrowed her brows, lowered her head slightly, and lightly pinched her dress hem with her small hands.

Little Green left the wooden house and closed the door. Her whole body seemed to lose all strength as she leaned against the house, slowly sliding down and curling up in the corner, arms tightly wrapped around herself, tears flowing silently.

For the next two days, Little Green took care of her sister.

And what Bai Ruxue did most often was sit outside the wooden house in a daze, looking at the blue waterfall flowers and purple sun grass blooming outside.

They were clearly just ordinary flowers and grass, at most having some medicinal value but Bai Ruxue always felt these flowers and grass held different meaning for her.

Yet the woman couldn't remember no matter how hard she tried.

"Little Green, I want to go down the mountain for a walk."

On the seventh day after Bai Ruxue awakened, she said to Little Green.

"Eh? Sister wants to go down the mountain?" Little Green was stunned.

"Yes." Bai Ruxue nodded. "Didn't you say there's a village at the foot of the mountain? I want to go see it."

"Alright..." Little Green nodded, her eyes darting left and right. "Then I'll accompany sister."

The next day, Little Green led her sister down the mountain and came to Stone Bridge Village.

Although Stone Bridge Village hadn't undergone major changes, everything had changed with time.

The average lifespan of common people at the bottom of Qi Kingdom was fifty-three years.

Now that forty-eight years had passed, all the adults from before had passed away.

As for the children of Stone Bridge Village from forty-eight years ago, the oldest among them was now fifty-six years old but after so many years had passed, how could they still remember things from their childhood?

The villagers looked at Bai Ruxue, wondering who this beautiful immortal lady was.

And as Bai Ruxue walked through the village, looking at every house and every path, she felt a sense of familiarity.

As if she had lived here for a very long time.

Bai Ruxue moved through the village following her feelings, while Little Green said nothing, just following behind her sister.

Finally, when Bai Ruxue stopped, she arrived in front of a courtyard.

Looking at this ordinary farmhouse courtyard before her, Bai Ruxue pressed her hand tightly against her heart.

She felt her chest was stuffy, as if she was about to find something very important, yet it felt very, very far away.

Entering the courtyard, Bai Ruxue gently touched the stone stool in the yard, the old sycamore tree in the courtyard, and the bamboo pole for drying clothes propped on the tree branches.

"Little Green, why am I so familiar with this place?" Bai Ruxue asked.

"Sister, because we lived here for a period of time." Little Green answered.

"I see." Bai Ruxue nodded.

"Sister, please sit for a while. Yesterday Little Green hunted some moon grass rabbits rich in spiritual power from Cang Mountain fifty li away. I'll go cook them for sister."

As if afraid that her sister would ask more questions, Little Green carried some game into the kitchen.

Watching Little Green bustling in the kitchen, that sense of déjà vu became stronger and stronger.

Bai Ruxue entered the main bedroom.

There was nothing in the main bedroom except wooden furniture.

No clothes, no bedding.

Bai Ruxue felt this room should be inhabited by a man, but she couldn't remember who this man was.

Leaving the main bedroom, Bai Ruxue came to the side room.

The layout of the side room was also simple, with just a bed, a table, several chairs, and a dressing table.

Bai Ruxue moved around the room.

After half an incense stick's time, when Bai Ruxue turned to leave the room, her sleeve accidentally knocked a box from the dressing table to the floor.

Bai Ruxue turned around.

In the fallen-open box was a wooden deer god hairpin.

"Sister, time to eat, sister..."

In the courtyard, Little Green placed two dishes in the yard and called to her sister inside the house but her sister didn't respond for a long time.

Little Green wiped her hands, pushed open the door, and entered the side room, only to see her sister kneeling on the ground, hands tightly pressed against her heart.

"Sister, what's wrong? Are you uncomfortable somewhere?"

Little Green quickly went to her sister's side.

"Little Green..." Bai Ruxue raised her head, looking at her sister through teary eyes, holding the hairpin in her palms. "The hairpin... this hairpin..."

"What about this hairpin?" Little Green was confused. She only knew that her sister used to love this hairpin very much.

"I... I don't know..."

Tears continuously flowed from the corners of Bai Ruxue's eyes, wetting her eyelashes, streaming down her cheeks, and shattering on the ground.

"This hairpin is mine..."

"It was given to me by someone."

"But I've forgotten who he is."

"I must not forget..."

"I should not forget..."

"Little Green."

Bai Ruxue tightly grasped her sister's sleeve.

"Why can't I remember anything? Why?!"

"Sister... I..." Little Green's throat moved, her eyes reddening like her sister's.

Bai Ruxue stood up, her dress hem brushing past Little Green's cheek, and ran out of the room.

"Sister!" Little Green suddenly stood up and shouted toward her sister.

"Sister, where are you going!"

"Sister!"
