Chapter 1190: Why Does the Heart Ache?

The Golden Sword was a pair of Magic Treasures that could be used separately, one male and the other female. When combined, they performed the Yin-Yang Ultimate Kill, while individually they were firm yet gentle, both incredibly mighty.

This Magic Treasure, personally crafted by the Creator, remained hidden in the first layer for countless eons without being discovered, thus it was obvious that this was no ordinary artifact.

Therefore, even if a lesser cultivator obtained the Golden Sword, they could likely challenge a supreme expert, let alone Lillian Erickson, who was the Son of Creation herself. So with one move, one sword strike, it was perfectly normal to have defeated the Great Emperor instantly.

However... giving the female sword of the Golden Sword to Paisley Kirk was not normal, as the implication was quite blatant; when one gave the female of the pair, it indicated a desire to be together in both life and dreams – a token of deep affection. Especially since the Golden Sword was of immense value, possibly even surpassing the Divine Artifacts, giving the sword to someone meant he truly fancied the lady!

Of course, nobody knew the relationship between him and Paisley Kirk.

"Brother Lillian, isn’t this inappropriate?" Paisley Kirk’s face changed as she received the female sword. Even though she could feel the sword’s power in her hands, and even her heart’s demonic thoughts kept urging her to keep it, she still closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and with a ’whoosh,’ tossed the sword back.

Yes, she threw it back. Because she couldn’t accept it! Because she didn’t want to be with him. Even though she had lost some of her memories of that man, she had never wanted to be with any other man.

"I meant no offense." Lillian Erickson caught the sword and showed a hint of disappointment on her face, but soon shrugged it off.

"Thank you, Brother Lillian, but I don’t need it!" Paisley Kirk slightly bowed her head in thanks, rejecting the offer firmly.

"Yo, junior sister, my brother just died, and here you are flirting and exchanging glances with someone else?" Tyler Nash suddenly laughed mockingly, as he knew Zhang Yi and Paisley Kirk’s situation clearer than anyone, hence he felt uncomfortable seeing someone pursuing Paisley Kirk.

No matter the enmity between him and Zhang Yi, it was their affair, but after all, the same blood ran through their veins; indeed, they were true brothers. So now that Zhang Yi had died, his hatred for Zhang Yi had also dissipated like smoke into clouds.

Therefore, when he spoke in his sarcastic and sharp tone, it was particularly harsh.

"Tyler Nash, please have some respect, that man has nothing to do with me!" Paisley Kirk said angrily.

"Stop fooling yourself and others, was it not he who broke your hymen? And still you say he has nothing to do with you?" Tyler Nash continued with his venomous taunts.

"Pu–" Many nearly laughed out loud; this Tyler Nash really spoke brazenly!

"You want to die?" The moment Paisley Kirk was too angry to speak, Lillian Erickson suddenly stepped forward, her hand on the Golden Sword’s hilt!

"Want to fight? Does the Magic World fear you?"

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh–" Several old demons from the Magic World, even the Three Corpse Old Demon, leaped to Tyler Nash’s side. Now that Tyler Nash had become the Supreme True Demon, a member of the Demon Species, and the leader of the Magic World, he was the chief among dragons!

"Do you also wish to die?" Lillian Erickson’s face was cold as winter, with the Creator’s sword in hand, no one was a match for even a single strike from him!

"Brother Lillian, let it be." Suddenly, Paisley Kirk took a deep breath and laughed mockingly, saying, "It’s just a eunuch, neither male nor female, I won’t stoop to his level!"

"Giggle, giggle, giggle!" Tyler Nash actually started giggling, seemingly not angry at all.

"Let’s go, let’s go, a couple of dogs!" After saying that, he quickly ran off towards the southeast.

When everyone saw that a fight had not broken out, they also proceeded towards the southeast. Now that the treasures in the first layer had been found, staying any longer was pointless; they needed to prioritize entering the second layer.

Paisley Kirk and Lillian Erickson were the last to leave, along with a young nun who also hadn’t departed, and the nun’s rosary beads were continuously twirling in her hands.

After casting a complicated look at the young nun, Paisley Kirk took large strides forward without speaking to her, unsure of what to say.

Lillian Erickson caught up with her, and as they walked side by side, he smiled and said, "Sister Paisley, it’s been seventeen years since we last saw each other, hasn’t it?"

"Mm," Paisley Kirk nodded slightly, seventeen years ago, when she was out from the Carefree Palace, she had met Lillian Erickson by chance. At that time, Lillian Erickson looked at her with a burning gaze, but they promptly went their separate ways, and since she was accompanied by other fellow disciples, the two of them had no private interactions.

"This place is perilous; we must be careful moving forward," Lillian Erickson said in a deep voice.

"Understood, and you too..." Paisley Kirk didn’t finish her sentence when the sound of a Buddhist chant erupted.

It was the young Buddhist nun behind them, also known as Mia Lara Tuff.

"Amitābha, may I have a word with you, Benefactor Paisley?" Mia’s demeanor remained calm and detached throughout, evoking the impression of someone who had truly found the path, becoming an enlightened monk.

Paisley Kirk was slightly taken aback, but instead of turning around, her voice betrayed a hint of panic, "What’s there to talk about between us?"

Mia brought her palms together, "You may have had some of your memories erased, but surely those about me must still linger? Some things, even without memories, leave scars and pain that remain."

"Shh~" Paisley Kirk took a deep breath, then glanced at Lillian Erickson and said, "Brother Lillian, go ahead without me."

"Alright, I’ll wait for you on the second level!" After nodding firmly, Lillian Erickson strode away.

Now, only Mia and Paisley Kirk remained, and at last, Paisley Kirk turned around and sized up Mia, "Indeed, I’ve lost my memories about him, but what about you? Are yours still intact?"

"Whether they are or aren’t, what difference does it make? I now go by the Dharma name ’Forgetful Heart,’ and have seen through the vanity of this world."

"What do you want from me? Out with it." Paisley Kirk realized they couldn’t communicate anymore; separated for thousands of years and having lost parts of their memories, their past had faded.

Perhaps, this was what being strangers meant!

"I wish to persuade you to take refuge in Buddhism."

"Eh..." Paisley Kirk was at a loss for words, never expecting Mia to suggest she become a Buddhist nun, leaving her speechless.

"Lara Tuff, we were both mistaken in the past, so let’s leave it at that. We’re no longer friends, and let’s not have further dealings!" Paisley Kirk declared and proceeded to walk away!

"Did your heart ache when he died?" Suddenly, Mia changed her tone, casting aside her previous airy and chant-filled words for a raspy voice, "My heart ached, even bled."

Paisley Kirk shivered, then closed her eyes. Some memories were gone, but the pain remained, along with the emergence of sorrow. Truthfully, when Yusuf Zuck had died in the starry sky above, her heart had convulsed and ached inexplicably, filling her with sadness, suppressed only by her strong will. She didn’t even understand why.

Of course, she also knew that she and that... that man must have shared many past experiences!

Even when Lillian Erickson handed her a sword earlier, she found herself subconsciously reminded of that man, so even without memories, he seemed etched in her heart.

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Paisley Kirk suddenly grew irritable, disliking this feeling.

"You and he, I and he, we and he, we must have truly been husband and wife in the past, only our memories have been erased, making them irretrievable, but the fact that we were once husband and wife remains. I think... I want to recover those lost memories, to see what really was between him and me!"

"Haven’t you transcended worldly desires? Why bother seeking these memories?"

"But my heart is in pain, he has become my inner demon, and unless I rid myself of this demon, I will find no peace, no further achievements. I think, he has also become your inner demon!"

"No, no, no, I don’t want to look, I don’t want to search, don’t come looking for me..."

"Swoosh~" Paisley Kirk shook her head desperately as she spoke, then fled as if escaping.

The young nun closed her eyes, brought her palms together, and murmured, "You have become my demon species."
