"So, the half of her Soul she lost contains the Earth Soul that represents wisdom, which is why she has no memory? But why does she call me mom?" I asked.
Yu Longting neither confirmed nor denied, "Yes, her body was once occupied by the Symbiotic Snake, so she's taken on the snake's scent and traits. Snakes born with Mana instinctively treat the first thing they see as... their mother..."
"What do we do now? How can we retrieve the other half of her Soul? And with her memory loss making her so reliant on me, how do we return her to her mother?"
Seeing the little girl about to cry her heart out, I hurried over to comfort her, "Don't cry, sister will play with you, let's play a game..."
She cried even louder, her little voice about to break, it was heart-wrenchingly painful to hear, a tight knot in the depths of my heart.
