Crack, the couple seemed as if they had just woken from a dream, "Why ... why am I standing here? Why can't I remember what I came out for? Wife, do you remember why we were standing here?"
"I ... I also can't remember. Weren't we supposed to go water the vegetables in the field?"
From their conversation, it was clear that they had forgotten everything about their encounter with Xiao Shenshen and what happened before and after.
They forgot not only the man with the mask but also the existence of Xiao Shenshen.
Charm Technique ... truly a domineering and heaven-defying art ...
The couple, still dazed, exchanged a few words before slowly noticing Yu Longting and me and hurried over to greet us.
Yu Longting and I responded briefly before heading to the dock of Barbarian Village.
"Charm Technique ... isn't it only used by demon clans?" I looked up and voiced the doubt in my heart, "Was that person a demon?"
Yu Longting, seeming to have calmed down, there was a mysterious glint in his eyes, "More precisely, the Charm Technique is possessed only by the Four Great Immortal Clans and is innate. It's not about whether or not to use the Charm Technique, but rather... whether to restrain it or not."
"Whether to restrain it or not?" I mulled over Yu Longting's words, and it clicked, "So you've always been naturally charming, but you deliberately restrained it, and that's why I wasn't mesmerized?"
"I restrained it, and you weren't mesmerized?" Yu Longting asked with a raised eyebrow.
My heartbeat quickened slightly being questioned by him, looking into his deep, all-seeing eyes, I had to admit, "Okay, your appearance alone has mesmerized me. Hey, Yu Longting, the fact that we weren't charmed by that man just now, could it be because he specifically restrained his Charm Technique against us?"
"Still not sure how advanced his cultivation is, it might not be that he restrained it against us, but rather that we are immune," Yu Longting casually remarked, his steps suddenly pausing, his expression turning as dark and impenetrable as thick ink.
I thought something serious had happened.
Following his gaze, I saw a beautifully carved milk baby sitting quietly on the canopy of the black-covered boat we had stopped at the shore yesterday.
The milk baby, with its simplistic expression, saw us from afar, still looking utterly clueless.
It sat there, not attempting to escape, well-behaved beyond words.
"Xiao Shenshen, are you sitting up there waiting for us? Where's the 'brother' who held you earlier?" I asked, surprised and delighted as I reached out both hands to hold it in my embrace.
Yu Longting put out a hand to stop me, "He's surrounded by prohibitions, not to be touched for now."
"Prohibitions?" I squinted, only able to see through my Spiritual Eye.
A series of tight and transparent prohibitions trapped Xiao Shenshen within.
Yu Longting flung a talisman from his sleeve, which stuck to the invisible prohibition and self-ignited without fire.
Subsequently, a faint cracking noise arose.
The prohibitions shattered like dominoes.
Yu Longting, raising Xiao Shenshen with his long, ivory-like fingers, asked, "Who was the person who held you earlier?"
"I ... I don't know." Xiao Shenshen was terrified of Yu Longting, trembling pitifully in his embrace. The rightful source is noveⅼfire.net
Yu Longting gently patted Xiao Shenshen's tender cheek, "You don't know but went with him? Try saying another lie."
"My respected... I didn't lie, young ... master ..." Xiao Shenshen, timid and now crying, responded, "I accidentally bumped into his arms. He was so strong, and I couldn't break free."
"Making that up, continue making that up. Your Spiritual Power is enough to remove all strength from my wife's arm, yet you couldn't break free from a beggar?" Yu Longting, with a mischievous smirk, vengefully said.
