Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Those Memories, So Embarrassing to Look Back On! 3 [Bonus Chapter for monthly votes]
Si Mingjing had been pondering the Dragon’s Nirvana.
As she thought, she leaned on the couch and dozed off. In her dream, she once again found herself engulfed in a vast expanse of white fog.
Having experienced this before, she no longer panicked.
She walked through the fog with composure, searching everywhere for Mo Yinhe.
To be precise, she was looking for the Demon King.
She was almost certain that the Mo Yinhe who had told her to find Chen Fengdu was the Demon King who had always resided in her heart!
Growing up, she had never seen the Demon King’s face.
Unexpectedly, her wish had been fulfilled today.
The Demon King in her heart was indeed Mo Yinhe! But why Mo Yinhe?
The box hadn’t been opened yet, but she wanted to gather more information.
"Mo Yinhe? Mo Yinhe? Where are you?"
"Come out! I have so many questions for you!"
"Why have you always been in my heart?"
"Mo Yinhe..."
"Mo Yinhe..."
She called out for a long time. Finally, amidst the white fog, she saw a tall, upright figure.
Overjoyed, she ran towards the man...
The Demon King watched her quietly and also walked towards her.
As Si Mingjing approached, she asked, "Mo Yinhe, why have you always been in my heart?"
"Because of the Dragon’s Contract..."
The Dragon’s Contract... what did that mean?
Si Mingjing wanted to ask more.
"Jingjing! Jingjing! Wake up!"
Ye Nianbai, the little guy, had somehow appeared beside the couch. He nudged her arm, waking her from the dream.
Si Mingjing opened her eyes and saw Mo Yinhe and his son, Ye Nianbai. A pang of regret shot through her.
"Jingjing, it’s all assembled! Am I amazing or what?" Ye Nianbai held the box, a smug expression on his face, clearly seeking praise.
Was it opened?
Si Mingjing brushed aside her regret and sat up on the couch. Curious, she asked, "What’s inside?"
Mo Yinhe had already opened the box and inspected its contents. He handed it to Si Mingjing. "See for yourself."
Ye Nianbai HUMPHED three times, then pointed to his small head. "Jingjing, you can’t go back on your word, okay? This little master remembers everything! I’m waiting."
"Xiaobai is amazing! Xiaobai is the best!" Si Mingjing planted three kisses on Ye Nianbai’s adorable, exquisitely featured face, making the little guy extremely smug before she finally took the box.
She opened it.
Inside the box was... a collection of water beads???
To be precise, they were Dragon Spit Pearls.
Each Dragon Spit Pearl was encased in a thin, transparent membrane, preventing the liquid inside from leaking out.
There was also a note in the box that read: "Dragon Spit Pearls. For my personal consumption only. No more than one per month, otherwise, beware of bursting a blood vessel and dying!!!!!"
The handwriting was sloppy, with several emphatic exclamation marks.
Si Mingjing’s expression twitched. What on earth is this?
Was this a benevolent warning left by her pre-Dragon’s Nirvana self for her current self?
Could these pearls hold memories from before her Dragon’s Nirvana?
She couldn’t have been tricked, could she?
And were these Dragon Spit Pearls poisonous?
Si Mingjing gently pinched a pearl, observing it carefully, but couldn’t discern anything.
Should she eat one to try?
Si Mingjing hesitated.
Moreover, if these Dragon Spit Pearls truly contained her pre-Dragon’s Nirvana memories, surely there was an order to them, right?
Which one should she eat first?
Each one looked exactly the same.
It was impossible to tell their sequence.
This really posed a huge problem for her.
Should she just pick one randomly and trust her luck?
Mo Yinhe, who was sitting beside her, watched as she eagerly brought a Dragon Spit Pearl to her mouth.
His hand shot out, clasping her wrist. "What is that? You dare eat something so strange?"
"It’s fine."
Curiosity killed the cat. Si Mingjing decided to take the risk.
She bit directly into a Dragon Spit Pearl. The liquid inside was sweet, and a fragrant aroma filled her mouth as she chewed.
It turned out not to be poisonous, and it tasted quite good.
A moment later, a torrent of unfamiliar memory fragments flooded her brain, and the opening scene was explosive!
She saw herself—or, to be accurate, a girl who looked identical to her—with Mo Yinhe...
MMM... MMM... MMM... The scene was utterly indescribable!
Definitely couldn’t pass censorship!
She was going mad, completely mad!
Earlier, Chen Fengdu had teased her, asking what if the box contained 100G of uncensorable content.
Her luck was so bad! To think she’d pick such a steamy one on her first try!
Si Mingjing’s face instantly turned scarlet.
Mo Yinhe, sitting beside her, noticed her face flush intensely; even her ears were red. He was genuinely curious. "What’s wrong? Did you drink pepper-infused water? Or some high-proof liquor?"
Otherwise, Mo Yinhe couldn’t imagine why her face would turn so red after eating it.
"It’s nothing! Absolutely nothing!" Si Mingjing clutched the box and dashed away.
She ran back to her room, SLAMMED the door, and locked it with a CLICK!
Her mind was filled with images of intimate contact with Mo Yinhe. Now, the real Mo Yinhe was right in front of her. That feeling... it was indescribable. She couldn’t face him directly at all! Let alone describe it!
Mo Yinhe and Ye Nianbai, father and son, wore completely baffled expressions.
Ye Nianbai lifted his delicate, exquisitely featured face. "Daddy, what’s wrong with my wife?"
Mo Yinhe didn’t say a word. How was he supposed to know?
But his baby’s guilty expression just now, as if she’d done something she couldn’t admit to... It was baffling!
Mo Yinhe walked to the bedroom door and knocked. "Mingjing, are you sure you’re okay?"
"I’m fine! Really fine! I want to be alone for a while. Please take Xiaobai and leave. I’m begging you, just go!"
Mo Yinhe’s handsome eyebrows furrowed slightly. His baby was definitely hiding something from him! But what could it be?
Mo Yinhe gestured for his son to leave the living room, then sat down on the couch himself, worried that if she had eaten something bad, no one would be there to notice.
Si Mingjing was regretting it to death!
These unidentified Dragon Spit Pearls really shouldn’t be eaten recklessly!
Now she understood why the note had several exclamation marks warning her to eat only one per month.
Just one had stimulated her brain so much she felt like her nose was about to bleed. If she ate all of them, she really might have burst a blood vessel and died!
So embarrassing!
Who would keep such memories for their post-Dragon’s Nirvana self to see?
Her former self was actually that shameless?
Now, Si Mingjing couldn’t face her pre-Dragon’s Nirvana self. Even though she had never actually slept with Mo Yinhe, those memories made her intimately aware of things like the mole on his lower back!
How could she remain emotionally detached when facing Mo Yinhe now?
Si Mingjing threw herself onto the bed in despair, burying her face deeply in the pillow. She was done for, completely done for!
It turns out that curiosity could kill not just cats but dragons too!
But there was one thing Si Mingjing was certain about!
Her pre-Dragon’s Nirvana self... had indeed been involved with Mo Yinhe!
Si Mingjing took a deep breath, then another, telling herself to calm down. She hoped to find more dignified and wholesome content in the new memories!
Then, at last, she found something useful...
