The Legend of the Demon Hunter

Chapter 116 The girl with amnesia

Xiao Zhu held the girl's arm and felt her pulse. He unexpectedly discovered that this fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl was actually a demon hunter, but the spiritual power in her body was sparse and weak, so she was only a junior demon hunter.

Xiao Zhu infused the most gentle wood spiritual power in his body into the girl's body through her arm. Wood spiritual power has the ability to heal naturally, but it is completely different from Xia Shi's Shenyue bloodline. After this spiritual power was infused into the girl's body, it had an immediate effect, and the girl slowly opened her eyes.

The girl's eyes were big, and they looked cute and lovely on her baby face, but the look in her eyes was very confused. She looked at Xiao Zhu and then at Ding Xiaoyao, opened her cherry lips, and asked in confusion: "Who are you? Where are we?"

"This is the Demon-Suppressing Tower, and we are on the top of the tower. You were kidnapped here just now, and it was Brother Xiao who saved you." Ding Xiaoyao replied to the girl.

"Demon-Suppressing Tower? Kidnapping?" The girl's eyes became even more confused.

Xiao Zhu had a bad feeling in his heart. He squatted down, looked at the girl level, and asked as gently as possible: "Little sister, do you still remember where your home is?"

The girl blinked her big eyes, thought seriously for a while, shook her head and said, "I don't remember."

Xiao Zhu then asked: "What about your name? Do you still remember it?"

The girl's eyes flashed with panic and confusion, and she still shook her head: "No, I don't remember."

Xiao Zhu's guess was confirmed. He looked at Ding Xiaoyao and said sadly, "She has lost her memory."

"Ah? How could this happen?" Ding Xiaoyao seemed at a loss.

"I guess it was because of the head injury she suffered when those three kidnapped her. But I have an idea. Her home should be in these villages. Let's look for them one by one. As long as we find her parents, we may be able to help her restore her memory."

"Okay!" Ding Xiaoyao nodded heavily. He also felt that this plan was feasible.

Over the next two days, Xiao Zhu and Ding Xiaoyao took the amnesiac girl to all the nearby villages one by one. While asking about the girl's situation, they explained to the villagers that the Demon-Suppressing Tower and the three religious leaders were scams.

As for the latter, the villagers were skeptical about what Xiao Zhu and Ding Xiaoyao said. After all, in their opinion, the Demon Suppression Tower had protected them for more than a year, and the village had not been invaded by monsters in the past year. Xiao Zhu could only explain in detail that the monster that invaded the village before was a giant spider. The three people were originally abandoned disciples expelled by the Red Lotus Cult. After discovering this place, they won over the spider by sacrificing young girls to it every month, and took the opportunity to deify themselves in several villages. Now that the spider has been eliminated, the villagers can rest assured.

Xiao Zhu and Ding Xiaoyao took the villagers to see the spider's corpse, and then went to the Demon-Suppressing Tower to see the mountains of gold and silver treasures. They finally gained the trust of the villagers.

However, they searched all the villages for the girl's origins but found no clues. Two days later, Xiao Zhu planned to leave because he was worried about Xia Shi's safety. However, he felt very troubled about the arrangement of this amnesiac girl. He discussed with Ding Xiaoyao for a long time and planned to find a good family in the local area to take her in, hoping that she could slowly recover her memory in a long and peaceful life, and then pursue her own life.

On the afternoon of the second day, Ding Xiaoyao came hurriedly and said with a happy face: "Brother Xiao, we have found a family willing to take this girl in. There is an elderly couple in Shangliu Village who have no children and are very willing to take her in."

"Okay, we will tell her about this later. I hope she can live well in this family and recover her memory as soon as possible." Xiao Zhu was quite satisfied with this arrangement.

"We should give her a name." Ding Xiaoyao said to the girl.

"You're right, let's go ask her opinion!" Xiao Zhu replied.

After the negotiation, Xiao Zhu and Ding Xiaoyao walked up to the amnesiac girl, and Xiao Zhu asked, "Sister, can't you remember your name?"

The girl shook her head in confusion.

"Then can we give you a name first?" Xiao Zhu asked.

"Yeah." The girl nodded in approval.

Hearing the girl's affirmative answer, Xiao Zhu was in a dilemma. He thought for a long time but still couldn't decide what name to give.

"Since we met in the Demon-Suppressing Tower, and the mountain where the Demon-Suppressing Tower is located is called Yashan, why don't we call her Xiaoya!" Ding Xiaoyao said with a turn of eyes.

"Xiao Ya..." Xiao Zhu hesitated, but the girl nodded readily and said, "Yeah, I like this name."

In this case, Xiao Zhu and Ding Xiaoyao both accepted the name Xiaoya. Xiao Zhu told Xiaoya about his next plan and asked for her opinion: "Xiaoya, we found a family in Shangliu Village and plan to keep you here. You can rest here slowly until you recover your memory and then go find your family, okay?"

Unexpectedly, Xiaoya shook her head without thinking and said, "No, I don't want to stay here."

Xiao Zhu was slightly startled and asked, "Do you have any other ideas?"

"Can I go with you?" Xiaoya looked at Xiao Zhu and asked with a pleading look on her face.

"Ah? Come with me?" Xiao Zhu was stunned.

"Yeah." Xiaoya nodded and said, "I know I don't belong here. I like the feeling of flying around in the sky with you, and I also want to look around. Maybe that will help me regain my previous memories."

Xiao Zhu hesitated for a moment, nodded and replied: "Okay, then I'll take you to Yuanwu City first, and we'll make arrangements when we get there."

"Yeah!" Xiaoya nodded in approval.

Ding Xiaoyao said: "Now that all the problems have been properly resolved, I also plan to continue my adventure."

"Do you have any plans?" Xiao Zhu asked.

Ding Xiaoyao shook his head: "No, the world is my home! I have traveled to many places over the years. Ling Country is in the extreme north. Although the climate is cold and harsh, it is also rarely attacked by monsters from the south. As a mid-level monster hunter, I still have the ability to protect myself."

Xiao Zhu admired Ding Xiaoyao, an outgoing and lively young man, very much, but since he had already made up his mind, it was inconvenient for him to keep him. He patted his shoulder and said, "The road ahead is long, so we'll meet again in the future if we're lucky."

"Okay! Brother Xiao, I hope that when we meet next time, I can become as strong as you." Ding Xiaoyao smiled.

"You can do it." Xiao Zhu replied with a smile.

After sending Ding Xiaoyao away, Xiao Zhu looked at Xiao Ya and said, "Yuanwu City in the northeast is one of the ten major cities in Huanling Country. It is said that it is one of the strongholds of the Red Lotus Cult, and the Xuanwu branch of the Demon Hunter Association is located there. I am eager to go to the Red Lotus Cult to find someone. Let's set off now!"

"Yeah, okay." Because of her amnesia, Xiaoya always spoke with some fear, but she seemed to trust Xiao Zhu very much.
