Chapter 535 It's good you took care of her
Kyle let out a chuckle at the reaction of the woman lying beside him.
"I already told you, I don't remember. How could I know when I did it? But one thing's for certain, I have always been able to feel your presence because of the mark, even when I forget who exactly I marked."
Yue gasped and stared at him in disbelief. He marked her, and she had no idea? She let out a soft sigh, but a smile appeared on her face as she thought about how the mark had led him to her, even though he had no memories of her.
Perhaps Kyle sensed her strange behavior on the blue planet and decided to mark her to ensure he would know if she ever faced danger, but who would have thought it would turn out this way.
Yue looked at him and wanted to question how he lost his memories. Did he face a dangerous situation on the blue planet after she left? Is their home planet safe? What happened to Bia? Why wasn't the phoenix with him when the latter had always stayed with him? What about Alec, Lara, Mia, and the others?
She had numerous questions in her mind but didn't know where to begin and how much he remembered. In the end, she was not even sure if he would answer or not, so she quietly started fidgeting with her fingers.
Observing the array of emotions in Yue's eyes, Kyle snapped his fingers above her face to bring her back from her thoughts. She blinked and stared at his face with furrowed brows because after grabbing her attention, he settled comfortably on the bed and closed his eyes. However, Yue's eyes brighten when he started speaking in a carefree tone with his eyes closed.
"You know, you can ask me anything you want to know. I will answer if I know and remember..."
A faint smile appeared on his lips.
"After all, if I didn't want to share, I would have never told you I lack memories about the past, and trust me, I had enough knowledge to keep it hidden. So, feel free to ask whatever's on your mind."
Yue pushed back his hand that had been playing with her hair and sat down on the bed with a solemn yet curious expression.
"So... how did you forget?" Kyle sighed in regret as his fingers, which had been running through the smooth hair, were left grasping empty air.
"It's a long story..."
He started by sharing how he was found in a bloody state in a far-off place called the No Mana Land, a place with no mana and divine energy.
The old couple who found him were members of the water dragon race that had resided in that land for many years. They took him back to their village and took care of him when he was injured.
The duo also called their village leader, Hubert, who healed his injuries with spiritual energy and told him everything about the land he had entered.
It was a place where outsiders gradually lost their memories over time, the longer they stayed. Hubert also told him about the grey barrier surrounding the land, which only those with a transcendent rank physique could traverse.
As he narrated, Kyle's thoughts briefly turned to Aze, and a flicker of coldness flashed across his face. He deliberately omitted every detail about Aze and what he had experienced in the man's presence. After all, he had known from the moment he saw Aze watching him with little to no emotions while the manaless beasts fed on his flesh that the man was dangerous.
He didn't want to risk putting Yue in any danger, so it wouldn't be wise for her to know about the man, at least not until Kyle had the strength to retrieve the notebook Aze took away from him and became powerful enough to make the man experience what he had endured.
He opened his eyes, and his expression softened when he noticed how attentively Yue had been listening to him. Her brows were once again furrowed, and her eyes conveyed a myriad of emotions, with sadness being the most prominent one.
Yue noticed Kyle's pause, and before he could continue, she dropped onto his arm and hugged him tightly.
"I'm sorry I wasn't there with you when you were in such a place all alone. I thought I was the only one who had to go through hardships, but how wrong I was. Even though I was staying with strangers on the elven planet, my mother and Elli were with me, but you faced it all alone, without anyone beside you."
Kyle blinked, and his heart warmed up at her words. He buried his face in her shoulder and let out a bittersweet smile.
"It's fine. It's not your fault. Also, I wasn't alone; the villagers were with me. Ah, right, Hubert as well. He is my second master, the one who helped me train my physique so I could leave that land."
Yue patted his back, and he chuckled at her gesture. After a brief pause, she cleared her throat and silently asked him to continue.
Kyle's eyebrow twitched at her words, and he picked up where he left off. He explained that after leaving the No Mana Land, he traced the mark he had left on her, leading him to the elven planet.
However, he got there a bit late because she left on a ship right before his eyes. After that, two elven women, Eilli and her mother, whom he had recently learned about from Yue, spotted him, and he had a conversation with them for a while.
Kyle hesitated when he thought about Glacia, wondering if he should tell her. After a few seconds, he decided to just say that he killed that woman because she was trying to kill him. Yet, he blinked in surprise when he heard Yue's response and swore he sensed a hint of pride in her voice.
"It's good you took care of her. Nox and I had been wanting to get rid of her too because she had been getting on our nerves from the moment she forcefully took us to the elven planet."
"So well done."
Kyle burst into laughter at her words because, for some reason, the words that came from her mouth sounded truly unexpected. He paused when he felt Yue's gaze sharpen and cleared his throat with a serious expression.
"You mentioned Nox... who are they?"
Yue quickly got distracted and glanced around before pointing at the lynx that had been observing everything from a distance, or more precisely, after being thrown from the bed, Nox was watching them roll around on the bed from the ground with a solemn and sour expression.
Kyle nodded, and Nox felt a shiver run down his spine for some reason when the man called out his name.
"Oh... he is Nox."
