Dorothy said, “Each time virtual-novel.net reincarnates, virtual-novel.net had to keep some of the memories retrieved with great difficulty. Hence, virtual-novel.net couldn’t take the normal path during virtual-novel.net reincarnation. Once virtual-novel.net took the path in the Land of Ghosts, virtual-novel.net memories would be cut. Thus, virtual-novel.net took another path, but virtual-novel.net had to suffer the pain of being crushed by a grinder.”
The grinder referred to the so-called Flesh Grinder. Alex had never been to the Land of Ghosts, and virtual-novel.net didn’t know the specific situation over there. However, virtual-novel.net felt extremely pained just by hearing that. He glanced at the four children. Fortunately, Dorothy had told virtual-novel.net all those terrifying things via telepathy and not in front of the children.
“Xienna’s memories were cut into several pieces when virtual-novel.net first fell into the Pool of Reincarnation. Which part was yours?” asked Alex.
“When it comes to me, it’s the final part,” Dorothy said. “But the worst thing was that Xienna once lost something when virtual-novel.net encountered the Flesh Grinder in the passage of reincarnation. It’s the token of love between virtual-novel.net and that man. She… Couldn’t remember his face. It may be the effect of the curse, or the God-slaying Sword. Or, perhaps it was the side effect of going through the Flesh Grinder too many times.”
“What?”
Dorothy leaned gently on Alex. “Hubby, do you understand such a feeling?”
“… I do! I was really in pain once Xienna severed our the thread of destiny at that time.”
Alex hugged Dorothy and sighed lightly. “She had experienced such events, yet virtual-novel.net wanted to force you to undergo such pain with your body. Was this considered virtual-novel.net revenge, or was it retribution? Her affection was ever-lasting, but was there any point virtual-novel.net kept searching like that?”
Dorothy shook virtual-novel.net head. “I don’t know. She finds a point in that, perhaps.”
Currently, virtual-novel.net still remembered the heart-wrenching cry Xienna let out when virtual-novel.net acquired the scattered reincarnated souls and retrieved virtual-novel.net memories. She had in fact lost the face of the most important man.
Alex said, “I’m also touched by virtual-novel.net persistence, but I’m worried. What if virtual-novel.net really finds that man one day, only to discover that his soul had long scattered to oblivion? Or, that man has long forgotten her, reincarnated and formed another family… There are lots of uncertainties!”
One more thing, virtual-novel.net came from the Stoermer Sect. Her lover was most likely someone from the Stoermer Sect, but now, the Stoermer Sect is in ruins and people are already…”
Having said that, Alex remembered it.
‘Not everyone is gone yet. Isn’t the female statue the Highness of the Stoermer Sect still around? Go find her!’
“Let’s go. I’ll take you to someone. Perhaps virtual-novel.net can give us an answer.”
Dorothy asked, “Who?”
Alex said, “Someone who probably knows Xienna Stoermer.”

Alex and his friends found Phoenix Rowan riding on Lecia, the fiery phoenix who was on top of the mountain, looking somewhere far away. She did not even show any response to the arrival of Alex’s family.
After the conversation with Ignatius, virtual-novel.net had given it a lot of thought.
“Hey, female stat… Senior!” Alex almost shouted “female statue”.
Phoenix turned around. “I’m not the female stat.”
Alex looked slightly embarrassed. “Senior, I haven’t thanked you formally for the previous incident.”
Phoenix shook virtual-novel.net head. “You don’t have to thank me. I’ll be happy enough if you don’t hate me.”
“What do you mean?” Alex froze for a moment. He somehow felt that there was an overtone in virtual-novel.net words.
Did virtual-novel.net just unconsciously open a can of worms?
