Celestial Bloodline
Chapter 534: I placed a mark on your body

Kyle let out a sigh inwardly. Initially, he was here just to talk to her, to figure out why she left the blue planet and to confirm if he had truly left the planet to search for her.

But after seeing her and having a conversation with her, he felt that it was fine for her to know that he remembered nothing if she was his lover.

He felt it strongly, the distress and bitterness creeping into his heart as he heard her soft cry above him and could do nothing but hold her tightly. That's why he feared if he acted oddly in her presence or said something different from his usual self, she would surely question him. If she found out about his memory loss on her own and thought he kept it hidden because he couldn't trust her, it would surely break Yue's heart, a sight he was certain he couldn't bear to see.

He laughed to himself inwardly at how effortlessly he felt compelled to share everything with her.

'So, the feelings are mutual, huh? It's surprising that with my personality, I developed feelings for someone. I wonder about when and how... Now, I truly wish to recall what I have forgotten.'

Kyle looked at Yue as she furrowed her brows in confusion at his response. It was understandable because he had just said that his bonded companion, who should have always been with him, hadn't been by his side for as long as he could recall. He lifted his hand and gently placed his finger between her brows to ease the tension.

'It's fortunate we met before I entered the No Mana Land. If not, I fear that even if we crossed paths, I might have just walked past without forming a true connection.'

Yue blinked at the sudden cold touch but looked away when she saw Kyle staring at her with a soft expression.

She cleared her throat and moved his hand, worried they wouldn't be able to continue the conversation like this!

However, her eyes unconsciously drifted down to his body; even though he was in a hoodie, it couldn't hide his toned physique. He appeared more muscular, almost as if he had trained his body a lot. Looking back at his face, she noticed he also appeared more handsome, and for some reason, his presence was intimidating, more so than hers, even though she could clearly sense that the divine aura emanating from his body was weaker than hers.

She had reached the final stage of the divine-rank, and from Kyle's aura that was displayed to the world, she knew he had recently entered the divine-rank. So, why did it feel like he was stronger than her? But then she shook her head because he had always been stronger... maybe he was concealing his strength?

Yue's eyes widened as she realized her thoughts were drifting off the important discussion! Snap out of it! It's not the time to admire his physique and strength! She quickly refocused and resumed speaking.

"What are you saying? Bia should have always been with you. She is your bonded companion. Also, there's no way she would leave your side on her own accord!"

She watched as Kyle lowered his hoodie from his head and let his body drop backward onto the bed as if he owned it. He placed his arm behind his head, and her heart sank when he nodded and let out a silent 'right'. A bad premonition welled up inside Yue's heart. How could the Kyle she knew talk so nonchalantly when they were discussing Bia? Bia was someone he cherished a lot!

"You-!"

Her words were interrupted as he took her hand and pushed her to lie down beside him. Yue wanted to sit up again because they really needed to talk, especially when she could clearly sense that something was definitely off with him, but her movements paused when she heard his next words.

"I know what you are thinking, but it's because I don't remember her."

"Not just Bia, I don't remember anyone. The knowledge I have is all that I have gathered. So, don't ask me anything about her because I won't be able to answer."

It took a few seconds for Kyle's words to sink into Yue's head, and when they did, she grabbed his clothes and let out a faint whisper filled with disbelief.

"What...?"

Her eyes trembled as she replayed his words in her mind, especially the part where he mentioned that he doesn't remember anyone. Wait... Doesn't everyone include her as well? The moment this thought crossed her mind, she felt like her heart dropped into the pit of her stomach.

Yue's voice quivered slightly as she gathered her courage to ask, with a glimmer of hope that maybe, just maybe, she wasn't included in those he didn't remember.

"What... about me?"

There was silence for a moment before she heard a deep sigh above her.

"I am sorry."

Those words were enough to confirm her fears... he doesn't remember her either. Yue closed her eyes and clenched her fists tightly. But she relaxed her grip when Kyle grabbed her hands and carefully opened her fingers before tilting his head to gaze at her with a distressed expression.

Yue let out a deep breath and swiftly collected her thoughts. It had been a long time since she had felt so many emotions and showed them so openly on her face. She wasn't usually like this; she had learned to conceal them, but she just couldn't in Kyle's presence. So, she allowed them overflow... because she knew it was okay, even if he didn't remember. Yet, she still asked to confirm.

"If you don't remember me, then why? Why didn't you push me away? And how did you know that we... no, how did you find me and recognize me when you don't even remember me?"

Kyle blinked and let out a laugh. There were many things he himself didn't understand, especially how easily he accepted the fact that she was his lover.

"I didn't push you because I didn't feel like it. I don't remember you, but it doesn't mean my body and heart don't as well. They do, and they were too reluctant to push you away. As for how I found you and recognized..."

A mischievous glint flashed through his eyes as he picked up a few locks of her hair and took a sniff.

"I placed a mark on your body."

"Huh???"

Yue's eyes widened as she gazed at him.

"You did what!? When?"
