Chapter 1144: Chapter 825: I Remember Now

Little Stone frantically ran forward with Xiao Xi, but as they were about to escape, they were discovered by the people from the laboratory.

A large number of pursuers came after them, including Xiao Xi’s parents.

The parents at this moment had none of the usual gentleness and love; they were fierce and savage, making Xiao Xi feel a deep fear—so unfamiliar, so terrifying.

Even as they fled desperately, how could two children possibly be a match for these pursuers.

Little Scorpion wanted to cover Xiao Xi’s escape, struggling to shield her.

But he was simply too weak, beaten back to his original form by those Beastmen, gravely injured on the ground, his life or death unknown.

"Little Stone!"

Xiao Xi’s eyes instantly turned red. She cried as she held the gravely injured Little Scorpion to her chest, continuing to run towards the exit with it. Unfortunately, she was eventually captured.

At the last moment, she sent a trace of her Healing Ability into Little Scorpion’s body, and with effort, flung it out.

She completely understood now—Little Stone was right; her parents were fake, she was merely a test subject of her parents.

The laboratory’s target was also her.

She couldn’t implicate Little Stone.

Little Stone, you must leave here, live on bravely...

Under cover of night, Little Scorpion burrowed into a crack between stones, hiding most of his body in the soil.

Some Beastmen conducted a brief search nearby, but a crippled test subject posed no threat, so after failing to find him, they left without wasting more effort searching.

Little Stone hid in the dark crevice, curled up completely, his body trembling slightly, watching helplessly as Xiao Xi was caught by those people, injected with a sedation medication, and taken away mercilessly.

He wanted to save her, but he was powerless, unable to do anything.

At this moment, he detested his own weakness.

He engraved this scene deeply in his mind, shedding tears as he secretly departed. ℯℯ𝘭.

He swore in his heart, Xiao Xi, I will definitely come to rescue you.

Little Stone successfully escaped the Divine Hall, gaining a free beast life.

But a heavier, inescapable burden and knot weighed on him.

He went into hiding and focused on cultivation, successfully undergoing the transformation period.

Perhaps the belief in his heart drew out Little Stone’s body’s potential, or perhaps he had extraordinary talent—unable to fully control his powers in childhood, making normal Beastification impossible.

As Little Stone grew up, his talent even surpassed other successful test subjects.

Later, Little Stone found an opportunity to infiltrate the Divine Hall, assuming the identity of a brother from the same batch of production. Amid many events, he successfully ranked among the Ten Holy Seats.

Little Stone finally learned what happened to Xiao Xi and her sister after he left.

The sisters were both captured by the laboratory at that time.

Their actions violated the experiment guidelines and no longer met the standards to continue experiments, meant to be dealt with like test subjects.

But these two Replication test subjects were the product of the laboratory’s painstaking efforts, cost, and numerous failed attempts—extraordinarily valuable, impossible to be disposed of directly like ordinary test subjects.

Later, internal negotiations led to a new experiment—a punishment as well as an upgraded simulation experiment.

The sisters had their memories erased, talents sealed, underwent body modifications, and were cast into another world, assigned a script system to conduct this perfect simulation experiment.

Little Stone used his Holy Seat identity to find Xiao Xi cast into another world, discreetly utilizing his duties to help her as much as possible.

This is the whole story.

Shen Tang woke up, cradled horizontally in a man’s arms, the scent of his cold fragrance filling her nose.

She looked up and saw the youth’s jade-white, smooth chin, his handsome face, and those remarkably beautiful eyes.

"Little Stone..."

Shen Tang gently whispered.

At this moment, her eyes were without detachment, her beautiful and charming eyes completely red, filled with mist, tears slipping down as she choked out, "I remember now, you’re my Little Stone."

Hearing that long-lost address again, Shu Kui’s breath stilled, his arms tightened around her, his eye corners flushed red, "Xiao Xi..."

He looked at the female in his embrace, after so many years finally able to truly hold her—as she had once tightly held him—his eyes filled with many complex, nostalgic, and fervent emotions.

But now wasn’t the time for reminiscing.

Shu Kui carried Shen Tang swiftly through the buildings, his voice slightly hoarse, "We’re almost at the exit, I’m taking you away from here."

Shen Tang belatedly realized they were no longer in prison and, realizing something, asked in surprise, "Where did Ah Lan go?"

"Liu Ye found out you used his identity and came," Shu Kui said, "Jia Lan went to hold him off, he asked me to take good care of you."
