Infinite Awakening: My Exp Doubles Everyday novel Chapter 248

Chapter 248: I’ll Bite

"You don’t remember anything?" Xiang Yu asked, studying her.

"No," Li Yao shook her head, her brow furrowed in confusion as she tried to piece together the missing fragments.

Xiang Yu found it quite strange. The Empress had told him about sealing some of Li Yao’s most painful memories, he wondered if those sealed memories had somehow developed into that other personality. That would certainly explain her psychotic behavior despite maintaining such a childish demeanor.

He would need to investigate this more thoroughly after his medicine profession had advanced, using his appraisal hadn’t given him anything useful.

"Senior brother, did I do something bad?" Li Yao asked nervously.

"No, not at all," Xiang Yu replied with a reassuring smile.

Well, except for committing a few war crimes and traumatizing your cousin, nothing much, he thought to himself.

"Oh," Li Yao responded, her shoulders sagging as she looked down in disappointment.

She thought to herself that she had secretly hoped she might have gone completely rogue and pinned her senior brother down, then perhaps they could have...

"Why do you sound disappointed?" Xiang Yu asked.

Her face immediately turned bright red, and she quickly covered it with both hands in embarrassment. "Wha—waaaaa?" she stammered incoherently.

Xiang Yu bonked her gently on the head with the notebook he’d been holding. "Your clothes are all bloodied. Go change them," he said.

She quickly scrambled to her feet and hurried away, still covering her burning cheeks as she fled the scene.

Once she was gone, Xiang Yu’s expression immediately grew serious. The other Li Yao had been asking for help right before she changed back. It was safe to assume that when one personality was in control, the other was forced into some sort of hibernation or prison.

Was that the darkness she was so afraid of? He remembered the terror in her voice when she’d begged him not to let her go back there.

Xiang Yu sighed deeply as he stood up, running a hand through his hair in frustration. There was nothing he could do about this situation at the moment—his current knowledge and abilities simply weren’t sufficient to tackle such a complex situation.

He’d already asked the Empress about simply unsealing everything and dealing with the consequences, but apparently some of the memories had become corrupted during their long imprisonment. When they eventually merged back into Li Yao’s consciousness, the process could prove extremely dangerous, potentially destroying her mind entirely.

When he’d pressed for more details, the Empress had simply said that the enemy behind this wasn’t easy to deal with. For someone of the Empress’s caliber to admit such a thing, just what kind of enemy were they facing.

He let out another heavy sigh, clenching his fists. It seemed that despite all his recent breakthroughs and improvements, he was still not strong enough, in the end, it all came down to strength. He needed to work even harder, push himself further beyond his current limits.

"But first, time for lunch,"

...

In an unknown location, a middle-aged man with red and black hair sat upon a throne, his eyes staring into the void in contemplation.

Suddenly, his expression shifted. Without hesitation, he extended his arm outward.

Two large drops of blood materialized in the air above him, falling and splattering against his outstretched arm. The blood was quickly absorbed into his skin.

"Such trash," he spat angrily. His face contorted with disgust and fury as he processed what the bloodline essence revealed to him. "One of you trash couldn’t even return your bloodline essence after your death!"

He had invested so much time and resources into those three Soul Formation cultivators, only for them to die like that without even gaining anything useful.

His gaze drifted toward the distance. "That direction..."
