Living in the Nameless Abyss, they were far away from the chaos of the outside world. There were no flashes of swords, no deceit, and it was unusually peaceful.

Fang Xuan and Qian Renxue were still fighting, bickering, and mocking each other every day in the first few days.

Whenever they saw each other, they would treat each other as enemies and fight to the death!

However, gradually, the two of them stopped fighting and quarreling. In the end, they didn't even have the interest to mock each other because only the two of them were here. Loneliness was enough to defeat any strong person!

"Fang Xuan, talk to me."

Inside the cave, Qian Renxue was lying on the stone bed, bored to death. She wore white boots, and her feet were propped on the stone table beside the bed. Her jade-like fingers were playing with her hair. She looked extremely bored, and even her breath revealed a kind of emptiness.

"Hehe ~"

Fang Xuan couldn't be bothered with Qian Renxue. He sat calmly beside the hot spring and used a sharp stone to carve a wooden knife.

Qian Renxue tilted her head, narrowed her eyes, and looked playfully at Fang Xuan.

"Is that knife for killing me?"

"Want to try!"

Fang Xuan stared at the palm-sized wooden knife in his hand and said, "It's enough to kill a rabbit, but it's too small to kill a lazy pig!"

She was startled and immediately understood that Fang Xuan was implying something. She snapped, "You're the pig!"

The two of them had lost their Soul Power and were trapped in this abyss for two months. They hadn't been able to find an exit.

What made them even more frustrated was that they couldn't condense Soul Power in this damned place. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't cultivate any Soul Power. Thus, the days passed in boredom.

Not long ago, Fang Xuan also moved into the cave. This cave was very hidden and safe. He had no Soul Power now, so he was like an ordinary person.

He still needed to find a safe place to live. Who knew if one or two terrifying Soul Beasts would suddenly appear in the abyss? And this Water Curtain Cave hidden behind the waterfall was undoubtedly an excellent place to stay.

He was too lazy to greet Qian Renxue. The cave was not hers, and she did not have property rights. Moreover, the cave was huge, with many empty rooms. He did not need to share a bed with her.

In the beginning, Qian Renxue was still wary of Fang Xuan. She was afraid that the latter would plot against her.

As time passed, she gradually realized that this guy was just a block of wood. Even if she wore a bath towel in front of Fang Xuan, the latter would not be interested in her, so she gradually let her guard down.

"Hey, do you want to hunt a rabbit for us to eat?" Qian Renxue pointed at the freshly sharpened wooden saber and asked curiously.

"Not 'we,' but me!" Fang Xuan glanced at Qian Renxue and emphasized, "You watch me eat from the side."

Qian Renxue was speechless.

The two of them would split up every morning and afternoon to search for the exit. They would also mark the places they had passed by with stones to prevent repetition and loss.

And they would return to the cave in time when it was almost dark. This was because the abyss would become abnormally gloomy and scary when night fell. No one knew what strange things were hiding in the dark.

Time they were passed, day after day, month after month. Fang Xuan and Qian Renxue searched for the exit daily but found nothing.

A year later, they had completely given up on the idea of leaving. This endless abyss was like a giant cage, firmly imprisoning them here. They would never be able to escape.

"I'm so bored. Fang Xuan … talk to me!" Qian Renxue sat by the hot spring. Her bare feet were fiddling with the warm water in boredom.

"I don't talk to enemies," Fang Xuan said indifferently.

"I order you to talk to me!" Qian Renxue's eyes widened, revealing a dignified expression.

"Hehe …"

Fang Xuan needed to be more active in paying attention to this guy. He played with the wooden sword alone.

A year he had passed unknowingly. They had been trapped in the abyss for an entire year! Isolated from this place and away from the disputes, he had long given up on the idea of leaving this place.

However, what made Fang Xuan feel a little strange was that his memories gradually began to blur, and he gradually could not remember the matters of the outside world. It was as if this place, this cage-like abyss, was the world he initially lived in.

His hostility towards Qian Renxue gradually disappeared, and for no reason, he developed a good impression of the girl, as if she were family!

Fang Xuan felt a chill run down his spine. He felt that something was wrong. Yes, something was wrong! But he could not find the source!

He forced himself to judge his relationship with Qian Renxue rationally and kept a distance from the latter. However, that inexplicable feeling of intimacy in his heart made him want to get closer to Qian Renxue.

"What's going on? What's wrong with me?!"

Fang Xuan stared blankly at himself in the water, and a look of confusion suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Who am I?!"

For a day or two, he would even forget his name and surname, forget … who he was! Fear and uneasiness filled Fang Xuan's heart, making him unusually agitated and panicked.

But then, Qian Renxue suddenly walked over barefoot and sat down next to Fang Xuan. His heart suddenly calmed down.

From Qian Renxue's gradually softening gaze, Fang Xuan could tell that the girl was in the same situation as him. Their fluctuating hearts calm down only when the two of them are together.

This subtle change, which was difficult to detect, made Fang Xuan uneasy. He did not know if his state of mind had changed or if a mysterious force was guiding this change.

"Hey, what do you think …"

Qian Renxue's side profile was sad, and a bleak smile appeared. She dazedly said, "Will she be worried about me?"

Of course, Fang Xuan knew that the "she" Qian Renxue was referring to was Bibi Dong.

This mother-and-daughter pair had always been the biggest tragedy in the series, so he would never make fun of Qian Renxue on this issue.

"Of course, Bibi Dong must be crazy right now, looking for you everywhere!" Fang Xuan said decisively.

Although the mother-and-daughter relationship between Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue was terrible, they still loved each other deeply in their hearts.

After all, blood was thicker than water. Qian Renxue had silently disappeared from the continent for a year, so Bibi Dong was distraught. It was very likely that the entire Spirit Hall was looking for Qian Renxue.

"Bibi Dong?"

Qian Renxue suddenly looked at Fang Xuan with a confused expression.

"Who is Bibi Dong? What are you talking about?!"

Fang Xuan's heart suddenly thumped at that moment, and a great fear surged! From Qian Renxue's serious expression, he felt the girl was not joking.

She had forgotten about Bibi Dong, the mother she hated and loved deeply.

Their memories were quietly being erased …
