In front of the Golden Palace
“Xian’er?” Chen Li asked in shock; he remembered he was with the Yu Sisters, but now he was in another place and met Feng Xian’er.
Feng Xian’er turned to him; she was also shocked to see Chen Li. “Why are you here, hubby?”
“Wait! Looks like something’s not right.” They then observed the area around them, but only a majestic golden palace was in front of them. In addition, on the palace gates were engraved a golden dragon and a crimson phoenix, which gave off a strange feeling.
Feng Xian’er rushed to Chen Li’s side and hugged his arm. “Hubby, where are we? Shouldn’t we be sleeping now?”
“Sister Huoli! Do you know this place?” Chen Li tried to ask her. However, after a while, he didn’t get a reply from Xiao Huoli and muttered under his breath. “Could it be that we are now within a dream?”
“A dream?”
“It seems so, Xian’er. Because I can’t communicate with sister Huoli, and I can’t enter the Tianyi Realm,” Chen Li explained to her.
Feng Xian’er was stunned for a moment. “If this is a dream world, how can we have the same dream?”
“I don’t know, but since we are here now, let’s go in then.” Chen Li then held Feng Xian’er’s hand. As they walked in, they saw statues of a golden dragon and a crimson phoenix opposite each other on the side of the front garden.
“Come follow me, Hubby.” Feng Xian’er pulled Chen Li’s hand and led him into the palace.
That astonished Chen Li because Feng Xian’er seemed to know her way through the golden palace. “How do you know about this palace, Xian’er?”
“I don’t know! I just feel like I’ve seen this golden palace before, and suddenly I feel very familiar with all areas of this palace.” Feng Xian’er answered in confusion and didn’t know the reason herself.
When they arrived at the passage leading to the main hall, several statues of the Crimson Phoenix and the Golden Dragon were on each side. Suddenly, they stopped after seeing the two statues of a man and a woman right in the middle of the main hall, and they shuddered after seeing the similarities between the two statues with them.
“Hubby! Why does this man’s statue look like you? More like your grown-up self.”
Chen Li was also surprised after seeing those statues, and then he looked at the statue of the woman. “She resembles you as an adult, Xian’er.”
“These statues are really creepy.” Feng Xian’er muttered, but they didn’t notice that Feng Xian’er’s black eyes had turned bright crimson.
After observing the statues, they proceeded toward the throne room.
As they entered the throne room, suddenly, a man’s voice greeted them, and what shocked them was that his voice was exactly the same as Chen Li’s but hoarse.
“Welcome to my Golden Dragon Palace.”
Feng Xian’er, who was a little scared, immediately hid behind Chen Li’s back, and they then looked at the two huge thrones. 𝓫𝓭𝓸𝓋𝓁．𝓬𝓸𝓂
The throne on the right was made of gold, and the throne on the left was a bright crimson color, like the color of Feng Xian’er’s eyes right now. And there was a man whose face was similar to Chen Li’s on the golden throne, but he looked much more mature than the current him.
“Who are you?” Chen Li asked, and Feng Xian’er only peeked at the man slightly from behind him.
The man smiled and said. “I never expected you to be able to come here this fast, especially since you came with her. Anyway, this place is just a memory fragment.”
“Memory fragment?” Chen Li and Feng Xian’er asked in confusion.
“Yes! This place is my memory, and-” The man stopped momentarily. “As well as your memory.”
They were shocked to hear the man’s words, and Chen Li asked him. “Our memory? How can it be our memory? Can you tell me who you are?”
The man smiled and answered. “My name is Long…”
Before they could hear the person’s name, they were suddenly thrown out of the memory fragment.

Feng Xian’er Room
After she woke up, Feng Xian’er became so sad, and she just sat on her bed, spacing out, but her eyes were still bright crimson.
“Long… Wang…” Feng Xian’er muttered to herself, and tears fell from her eyes involuntarily.
Then she pressed her hand to her chest. “Who exactly are you, Long Wang? Why did I become so sad remembering you? And my heart ached so much.”

Yu Hua’s apartment
‘Damn it!’ Chen Li immediately cursed as soon as he came back to his senses. ‘Who is that man? Why did he say that the memory fragment is our memories?’
[What’s wrong with you, Chen Li? Just now, I feel a strange wave from you.] Xiao Huoli suddenly asked him directly in his mind.
Chen Li immediately explained everything to her about the characteristics of the golden palace and everything they saw inside, including the two statues that looked like him and Feng Xian’er, and also about the person sitting on the golden throne.
Since Chen Li had not met Xiao Huoli face-to-face, he could not see her shocked expression. ‘How is that possible? That golden palace is definitely Emperor Long’s palace, and that person’s name is also Long something. If all that were true, he is related to Emperor Long.’
‘Do you know anything about the golden palace, the man, and the memory fragment?’
[I do know about them.]
‘Please explain to me.’
[That golden palace is Emperor Long’s palace, and the person you met in the memory fragment should be him. However, I cannot confirm the relationship between you and him, but I am guessing that you are his reincarnation.]
‘Eh? Are you kidding me, Sister Huoli? How could I be Emperor Long’s reincarnation?’ Chen Li couldn’t believe hearing that.
[Chen Li, every cultivator has a Memory Fragment, which is a space to store our past memories. Since he appeared in your memory fragment, that means he is from your past, and that’s why I think you are his reincarnation.]
Chen Li fell silent upon hearing that; he didn’t understand anything. Before long, he sighed softly and said again. ‘How can I enter that memory fragment again? I want to meet him and ask him everything directly.’
[Unfortunately, I can’t help you with that, and only Big Sis Shijian can do that.]
“Xiao Shijian, huh? I hope you come to see me soon because I have many questions for you.” Chen Li muttered to himself, and after he talked to Xiao Huoli for a while, he decided to sleep again.
