Xia Tian didn’t hang up the phone; instead, he quickly told Shu Jing to stay put before rushing out the door. As he ran, he continued asking over the phone, "Where are you""Brother Xia, we just ran in...Chapter 1439: The Amnesiac Empress
Summer suddenly turned around and saw a burly man in his thirties, dressed in police uniform; it was Yan Tieshan.
"Who did you stop" Summer glared at Yan Tieshan. Who on earth did this idiotic cop think he was
The unexpected incident with Ji Qingying caught Summer off guard and made him more vigilant, causing his body to naturally exude a powerful aura; an aura that was quite ordinary for him but impossible to resist for ordinary people.
In fact, when Ji Qingying waited here for Summer, Yan Tieshan had been watching from the sidelines. He found something odd about the whole situation and initially didn't believe Ji Qingying could actually wait for the man called Summer. His intuition told him this woman who was even prettier than a fairy probably had some mental issues.
Yan Tieshan, known as Black-faced King of Hell in Xidu City, wasn’t exactly a model citizen despite being a detective specializing in serious cases. If he were truly just and kind, it wouldn't necessarily make those small-time hoodlums run away upon hearing his name. As the saying goes, "Evil begets evil," overly righteous police officers often have their actions limited by various constraints, which doesn’t instill fear in these hooligans; whereas a cop as ruthless as Yan Tieshan truly frightens them.
Clearly, this kind of Yan Tieshan wouldn't help Ji Qingying out of any sense of duty as a people's police officer. At that moment, Yan Tieshan was no different from those men who had appeared at the noodle shop before; Ji Qingying’s charm was simply too great to resist, making him want to take this seemingly mentally unstable fairy-like woman home.
However, Yan Tieshan never expected that although this fairy seemed to have mental issues, what she said wasn’t entirely baseless—this Summer guy really did show up!
However, upon hearing the conversation between Xia Tian and Ji Qingying, Yan Tieshan felt a glimmer of hope. These two people didn't seem to be very familiar with each other, which made their conversation look strange no matter how he looked at it. But just as he was beginning to feel this glimmer of hope, he discovered that Xia Tian actually wanted to take Ji Qingying away, and he immediately panicked, unable to hold back his shout.
At the moment of his loud roar, Yan Tieshan felt a surge of confidence and authority, much like when he had roared at those small hoodlums in the past. Each time, they would quickly run away upon hearing him. This time, too, he hoped to scare this Xia Tian off.
However, as soon as Xia Tian turned around, Yan Tieshan felt a wave of immense pressure bearing down on him, nearly suffocating him. The sheer force made his legs turn to jelly almost instantly, and he nearly collapsed to the ground.
An unprecedented fear welled up from within him in an instant, and Yan Tieshan was about to turn around and flee when Xia Tian’s question stopped him dead in his tracks. He didn't dare run away but also couldn’t find a way to explain himself, so he said by sheer impulse: “She... she owes me two hundred yuan...
“Two hundred” Xia Tian was almost certain that he had misunderstood, thinking this idiotic cop wanted him to stop for just 200 yuan.
"N-no, it's one hundred..." Yan Tieshan stammered before realizing his mistake and hurriedly corrected himself. "No need to pay back... ah!"
A bill landed squarely on Yan Tieshan’s head. Indeed, it was a hard slap with the note, which felt like a steel block hitting him, making his world spin and causing him to groan in pain before finally collapsing.
At that moment when Yan Tieshan fell down, the hundred-yuan bill suddenly slowed its descent and gently landed on him. Simultaneously, Xia Tian had taken Ji Qingying’s soft hand and vanished abruptly.
The Old City Grand Hotel wasn't the best hotel in Xi City, but it was certainly the tallest. It was precisely because of this that Xia Tian flew up into the sky during summer and took a glance at Xi City, discovering this hotel. Afterward, he instantly appeared at the entrance of the hotel and booked a room under his name before checking in.
The business of this hotel was quite good, especially for its high-end rooms which were currently fully occupied. Suites such as presidential suites, business suites, and honeymoon suites were all filled up; Xia Tian barely managed to secure a king-sized bed room, and if he had been just one step later, he would have ended up in a standard room instead.
During the entire process of checking into the hotel, Ji Qingying remained very quiet. However, her eyes kept darting around as she appeared fascinated by everything she saw; it was like an infant discovering new things for the first time.
But clearly, she wasn't a newborn baby. Her curiosity about everything seemed to stem from her amnesia.
After entering the room and closing the door, Xia Tian carefully checked on Ji Qingying once again. This inspection confirmed that Ji Qingying had indeed lost all of her cultivation prowess, but strangely enough, there were no signs of injury on her body, which puzzled him. How could a Zhenshen Realm expert suddenly lose their strength without any indication of serious injuries
"Do you remember when you arrived here" After pondering for a while, Xia Tian began to question Ji Qingying in an attempt to gain some useful information from her.
"I don't remember!" Ji Qingying pouted. "It feels like I just got here. Oh right, you haven’t told me what ‘husband’ means yet."
“Husband is another word for man, your man.” Xia Tian was rather exasperated. Not long ago, he had thought that the current Ji Qingying was quite cute, but now he found himself wishing that the ruthless female demon Ji Qingying would appear before him instead. Talking to this amnesiac Ji Qingying was simply too tiring; why did she know nothing after losing her memories
At this moment, Xia Tian began to doubt again. Could it be that the person in front of him wasn’t actually Ji Qingying but rather her twin sister
"Husband" Sitting on the edge of the bed, Ji Qingying tilted her head and started thinking seriously. Her innocent eyes now held a hint of confusion: "I seem to know what 'husband' means, but at the same time, I’m not quite sure. I need to think about it more carefully..."
Seeing that Ji Qingying was in deep thought, Xia Tian didn’t interrupt her. He felt that there was something off with her amnesia since he had already checked and found no damage to her brain or any injuries on her body which meant she shouldn’t have lost her memory. Thus, Xia Tian believed that if she really thought hard about it, she might be able to remember some things.
"Ahaha, I’ve remembered!" After a few minutes, Ji Qingying suddenly exclaimed with joy.
“What did you remember” Xia Tian couldn’t help but ask.
“I remembered who I am and who you are!” Ji Qingying said happily. "Hehe, I’m the empress and you’re my queen!"
Xia Tian instantly felt depressed. Why did this demoness just have to remember this particular thing At this point, he no longer doubted that the person in front of him was Ji Qingying’s twin sister; she definitely was Ji Qingying, a demoness who could even make him feel down when she had amnesia!
"Actually," Xia Tian said seriously, "husband is just a nickname for queen. From now on, you should call me husband."
He used to doubt that she wasn't Ji Qingying, but now seeing her like this, he found her quite cute and couldn't bear to mess with her. However, after confirming that she was indeed the demoness Ji Qingying, Xia Tian wouldn’t be as accommodating anymore. Regardless of the situation, he had to reclaim his dignity first. As for why she lost her memory, he didn’t care about it anymore.
"What’s your nickname" asked Ji Qingying, showing great curiosity.
Xia Tian was depressed again. After a few seconds, he somewhat helplessly answered, "A nickname is a more intimate way to address someone. In short, just call me husband from now on."
"Oh, I see. Wait, shouldn’t I refer to myself as ‘I’ Hmm, yes, I understand!" Ji Qingying smiled gracefully and said, "Husband, tell me what this is"
Seeing the self-proclaimed emperor, Ji Qingying, holding a TV remote control in her hand, Xia Tian was speechless. After quite some time, he answered with little energy left, "This is the remote for the television."
"What’s a television then" asked Ji Qingying.
"That thing over there is the television," replied Xia Tian as he pointed to a 20-inch color TV nearby.
"Then what does it do" asked the forgetful empress, now acting like an inquisitive child.
"For watching TV..." Summer transforms into an encyclopedia.
"But what is TV" The inquisitive Queen persists with this question.
"TV is just TV..." Summer, the human encyclopedia, is starting to feel overwhelmed.
"Oh, and what's that"
"That's a telephone..."
"What's a telephone used for"
"It's used for making phone calls..."
... much better and then suddenly vanished from Luo Minsheng's sight.Luo Minsheng squinted his eyes again, trying to see clearly how Summer disappeared, but he failed once more; he couldn’t figure out ho...
