Poseidon sat down again in a huff. She really had no choice; she was no match for him. Every time she tried to escape these past few days, this guy could knock her down with a single finger, leaving her unable to move for hours. It was a truly unpleasant experience.
He clearly possessed extraordinary skills, but in front of this guy, he couldn't even muster a single one—which only fueled his anger! Even though he knew that he was no match for him in a fair duel, it would be better to fight him head-on, even if he lost in the end, than to be held hostage like this without any chance to fight back.
How could he... how could he paralyze himself with a mere flick of his wrist?
Since the sea goddess didn't run away, Chen Xiao ignored her and simply sat and rested with his eyes closed for a while. In this icy, snowy landscape, he seemed completely unaffected by the outside temperature, wearing only a black robe casually draped over his shoulders, beneath which he was naked. The strange markings on his face resembled flames, and beside him, the spear, twisted from a cannon barrel, lay stuck in the ground. The sea goddess endured for a while, but finally, her impatience grew, and she spoke up: "Hey! Why aren't you taking the proper path down the mountain? You've been wandering around this damned mountain all day. Where are you going?"
Chen Xiao then opened his eyes again and pointed to his temple: "I sensed a very powerful guy on this mountain, so I wanted to come and take a look."
"A really impressive guy?"
"Hmm, about as good as you." Chen Xiao's reply seemed simple, and his tone was uncomplicated. However, this remark angered the Sea God, who felt as if Chen Xiao was deliberately mocking him.
As good as me? Hmph! Even I was completely outmatched by you!
Thinking this, Poseidon glanced at Chen Xiao a few more times, then waved his hand in front of him twice: "Hey! It's been so many days, and you still can't remember who you are?"
Chen Xiao raised an eyebrow, a gesture that moved the muscles in his face, making the flame-like patterns seem to come alive. His golden pupils stared at the Sea God, a gaze that actually made the Sea God's heart skip a beat, causing him to feel somewhat guilty. However, he quickly recovered, deeply annoyed at his own cowardice, and angrily said, "Why are you glaring at me!"
"I don't know, so what?" Chen Xiao's tone was strained, but as he talked more with Poseidon these past two days, his pronunciation gradually became more fluent.
"Aren't you worried if a person doesn't even know who they are?" Poseidon tried to guide Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao shook his head: "I'm not in a hurry." But then he sneered at the Sea God: "However, I know you really want me to be in a hurry, because once I am, you'll have an opportunity to take advantage of me, right?"
Poseidon's expression stiffened—this guy wasn't stupid after all?
"Besides, what's the use of me being anxious? You're the only person I recognize right now, but you don't know who I am. What can I do?"
Poseidon's face darkened even more.
She genuinely didn't know who Chen Xiao was... Even before she was brainwashed, her understanding of Chen Xiao wasn't deep. Let alone now?
“Perhaps we can search slowly, and then find a place to ask around,” Poseidon tried to guide Chen Xiao further. “Then, once you find someone who knows you, you can…”
"Then I can let you go, right?" Chen Xiao coldly retorted, "I won't let you go."
"Why?!" The sea goddess roared in fury, leaping to her feet. Her eyes flashed with rage, and a faint electric current crackled at her fingertips. "Why are you holding me like this?!"
"I...I don't know." Chen Xiao didn't care about the Sea God's anger at all and calmly replied, "I don't know, but I have a vague feeling in my heart that I feel very close to your aura, so I don't want to let you go."
"..." Poseidon stared intently at Chen Xiao, and after a long while, he sighed and slumped down.
What else can she do? They're just being blatantly unreasonable; what can she do about it?
"Then... what was your purpose in attacking that naval port?"
Chen Xiao sat there, but raised his hand and gently grasped the spear, rubbing his fingers back and forth, saying casually, "Oh. Is that a naval port? What's a naval port?"
"..." Poseidon gritted his teeth, afraid that he would lose control and start cursing at this guy.
She'd had enough of this kind of treatment from Chen Xiao these past few days. She'd realized that this guy seemed to have lost all consciousness, as if his mind had gone completely blank.
To put it bluntly, he is now a talking and thinking beast, completely oblivious to the world around him.
Even just a few nights ago, the sea god, who had been by his side for days without food or water, was so hungry that he couldn't help but ask, "When are we going to eat?"
The result, the result, the result...
The guy's reply nearly made Poseidon faint with anger.
What does "eating" mean?
? ? !! !
"Eating is about consuming food and replenishing the energy we use."
"What does that mean?"
Poseidon suddenly felt like he had become a kindergarten teacher, the only difference being that the child he was teaching possessed an absolute advantage that could suppress him. In the end, he could only patiently explain the meaning of "eating".
As a result, this guy probably figured out one thing: eating is taking something and putting it into your stomach with your mouth.
Then, this bastard actually picked up a stone from the ground and handed it to the sea god with a completely innocent and guileless expression: "Here, eat it."
555. At this moment, the sea god was in tears.
The cycle of karma is inescapable. Chen Xiao painstakingly taught that innocent little girl, Ya Ya, and now someone is trying to teach him this way—it's karma.
So, over the past few days, the Sea God has put in a lot of effort to teach Chen Xiao how to eat and how to dress... especially how to dress! Chen Xiao had been running around naked the whole way from the sea with the Sea God! It wasn't until the Sea God couldn't bear it any longer and reminded him that he taught this "naive" version of Chen Xiao the basics of dressing.
Although Chen Xiao had lost his memory and become somewhat violent, he was still willing to listen to good advice. Heeding the Sea God's words, he quickly grabbed a piece of clothing and put it on. However, while he was wearing a Japanese kimono robe, he was naked underneath.
It seems that Poseidon still has a long way to go to teach Chen Xiao the difference between outerwear and underwear...
The combination of these two is quite remarkable. One has lost his memory, like a blank sheet of paper. The other, although his memories have been partially erased, still retains some awareness. However, Poseidon previously held a high position in that mysterious organization, so he doesn't possess much common sense; things like eating and dressing are naturally taken care of by others.
One of them was completely clueless, and the other was only half-informed. Along the way, one taught and the other learned. The learner ended up with a mess of knowledge, while the teacher was also quite confused.
For example, even something as simple as eating. The sea goddess only knew that people needed to eat, but she was utterly clueless about cooking! She wanted to learn how to grill some wild game—both were incredibly skilled individuals, capable of hunting wild game in the mountains, let alone killing a tiger. However, when they caught a few plump pheasants or rabbits, they were completely at a loss, not knowing how to prepare them. Forget grilling; they didn't even know how to do the simple tasks of plucking, skinning, and gutting.
If it weren't for the Sea God stopping him, Chen Xiao would have almost gone straight for raw meat and blood.
Finally, left with no other option, he ran to a small town, found a restaurant, and ate a meal without paying, which caused another wave of panic. When the town's police came to maintain order, Chen Xiao blasted one of their cars onto the roof of a three-story building with a single palm strike, causing chaos throughout the town. Chen Xiao, however, with the Sea God, ate his meal to his heart's content and left.
Neither of them made any attempt to conceal their whereabouts. Although they had previously attacked warships and naval ports, Chen Xiao had lost his memory and had no concept of the consequences such actions would have. As for Poseidon, she was inherently lawless. As a result, their blatant and conspicuous movements quickly led to their whereabouts being leaked as intelligence reports.
Most of the public remained misled by the media blackout; no one knew that these two terrifying killers had been traveling all over Japan, but countless eyes were secretly watching them. Wherever they went, they would dine and dash, and cause several major acts of terror. If Chen Xiao was in a bad mood, he would even casually bomb buildings displaying Japanese flags.
