Reborn as a Transcendent-Chapter 760Book 3: : A Little Knocking and Bumping Works Wonders for Memory Recovery~

Early morning.

After finishing a set of self-created Taiji outside, Yae-hime returned to the room, lay down on the bed, closed her eyes, and logged into the game.

The morning air in Aoma Village carried a hint of chill. Inside the village chief’s guest room, two little girls were curled up together, still sleeping soundly. Suddenly, a figure appeared on the bed amid a soft white glow.

As if sensing a new source of warmth, the two little girls instinctively leaned over. Using both hands and feet, they clung to Yae-hime like koalas hugging a tree.

“I can’t move…” Their strength was astonishing, clamping onto Yae-hime’s body like a pair of iron pliers. “Forget it. I’ll just keep resting.” After struggling for a moment, she gave up helplessly.

Time flew by, and an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

“Mmm~” Lili slowly opened her eyes, letting out a cute, lazy sound as her expression remained drowsy.

At the same time, Zerene’s eyelashes fluttered, and she gradually opened her clear, watery eyes as well.

“Good morning, Little Hime,” Lili said lazily.

“……” Only then did Zerene realize she was hugging Yae-hime, her small face flushing faintly red. Even so, she showed no intention of letting go.

“Good morning. Could you two let go of me first? My bones are about to fall apart,” Yae-hime said with a look of utter misery. Being hugged to sleep by two beautiful girls was undoubtedly a blissful thing. But there was a prerequisite. Those two beautiful girls had to be soft and weak.

Unfortunately, whether it was Zerene or Lili, both possessed frightening strength. Being hugged by them unconsciously felt like having iron pliers tightening relentlessly around her body. It would be strange if that felt comfortable.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to,” Lili said, her pretty face reddening as she quickly released her limbs and shifted her body aside.

Seeing this, Zerene hesitated for a moment before imitating her and freeing Yae-hime as well.

“Did you sleep well?” Yae-hime asked as she got up from the bed and looked at the two of them.

“Mm, I slept really comfortably,” Lili said, nodding vigorously.

“Comfortable,” Zerene echoed softly.

Yae-hime reached out and patted Lili’s head, then turned to Zerene. “Did you remember anything?”

“No,” Zerene shook her head. Forget remembering anything. She had not even dreamed. She had slept straight through until morning.

“You’ve lost your memory, and you’re unfamiliar with everything around you. You might as well stay here for now and decide what to do once some of your memories return,” Yae-hime suggested.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Zerene nodded, her expression somewhat dazed. Seeing this, Lili immediately felt a sense of crisis rising within her.

“Little Hime, I heard that for people with amnesia, giving their head a few hard knocks can help them recover very quickly.” She said it with a smile. Yet there was not the slightest warmth in her eyes.

“……” Zerene looked over. Her clear eyes were filled with undisguised surprise, along with a trace of hostility. She sensed an unfriendly aura coming from Lili.

“That’s a special measure. It shouldn’t be used lightly,” Yae-hime said. She had seen that kind of crude method plenty of times in over-the-top movies and TV dramas. In reality, even smashing someone’s head open would probably not achieve much.

After all, the human brain was incredibly delicate, nothing like old household appliances that could be fixed by giving them a few hard pats.

Hearing this, Zerene immediately let out a sigh of relief. She had genuinely been afraid that Yae-hime would believe that little imp’s words and give her a round of knocking.

“When it comes to memory recovery, stimulation therapy is actually more effective,” Yae-hime said.

“Stimulation therapy?” Lili asked curiously.

“Yes. People with amnesia rarely lose all their memories. Otherwise, they would become no different from a newborn baby,” Yae-hime explained.

Lili nodded. “So?”

“We can use fragments of the amnesiac’s memories to find the things that left the deepest impression and stimulate the brain. By doing so, those scattered memories can be linked together and gradually restored. This process might be quick, or it might take a long time,” Yae-hime said.

“Hey, is there anything you’re afraid of?” After hearing that, Lili immediately turned to Zerene and asked.

“My name isn’t *hey*,” Zerene replied unhappily.

“Do you even have anything you’re afraid of or not?” Lili said, too lazy to argue and pressing on.

“……” That attitude made Zerene feel increasingly displeased.

The atmosphere at the scene instantly grew tense.

Yae-hime rolled her eyes, puzzled inside. Why did these two little ones seem to be at odds with each other?

“Let’s put the matter of memory recovery aside for now.” She reached out and gently patted both of their heads. Then she continued, “Zerene’s body hasn’t fully recovered yet. The most urgent matter is to heal her physically.”

“Alright,” Lili said, withdrawing her gaze and backing down.

Zerene obediently hummed a soft acknowledgment.

“No time to waste. Zerene, lie down,” Yae-hime said as she stood up.

Lili rose as well, while Zerene complied and lay down.

“Alright, Li—Little Hime.” Hesitating for a moment, Zerene still followed Lili’s example and used Yae-hime’s nickname.

At those words, Lili’s small face puffed up slightly, irritation flashing in her eyes. ‘This brat is copying me!’

Yae-hime, however, did not mind at all. After all, Lili was not the only one who called her Little Hime.

At that very moment, far away in the confinement chamber of the royal palace in Jade City, the Seventh Princess, Kastina, suddenly sneezed.

“Who’s badmouthing me?” she muttered in confusion. Inside the vast room, there was no response at all. “Is it just my imagination?” After glancing around, Kastina sat on the bed and gently swung her slender legs.

She looked extremely bored. “Hah… I wonder how Little Hime is doing.” Gazing at the wall not far away, she murmured softly.

***

Elsewhere, the Little Hime whom Kastina missed so dearly had already finished administering acupuncture to Zerene. While repairing her body, Yae-hime also absorbed that lightning energy imbued with profound laws.

After quite some time, the golden bead within her body finished absorbing its allotted share for the day, releasing waves of dazzling light.

‘The lightning energy within Zerene’s body can indeed strengthen this bead. Although the effect is minimal, if this continues, it’s something to look forward to.’

“Mmm~ So comfy, I feel like I’m about to ascend~” At that moment, Zerene, whose body had been filled with life energy, suddenly let out a delighted sound that was all too easy to misunderstand.

It earned Yae-hime a huge eye-roll from Lili standing nearby. If she could, she would have loved to grab the soft flesh on the other girl’s belly and twist it hard!

“What, are your eyes uncomfortable?” Noticing Lili’s look, Yae-hime turned over with a hint of concern.

“Your eyes are the ones with problems!” Lili snapped, kicking out lightly and landing a not-too-heavy kick on Yae-hime.

The latter looked utterly baffled.

After finishing Zerene’s treatment, Yae-hime led the two of them downstairs. At this moment, Angelica had already prepared breakfast.

Seated in the dining hall were Layna and the Fiat siblings, but Angelica’s father was nowhere to be seen.

“Good morning, Princess, Lady Lili, and this adorable little sister. I was just about to call you down for breakfast!” Angelica said with a smile.

“Good morning. Where’s your father?” Yae-hime asked casually.

“Father went out very early. There’s been a lot going on in the village lately, so he needs to take care of things as soon as possible,” Angelica replied.

“That’s hard work indeed,” Yae-hime said as she sat down, speaking while beckoning the two little ones to come over as well.

In Cathay, shared meals were the easiest way to bring people closer together. Usually, after one meal, even strangers would gradually become familiar.

Sure enough, Zerene and Lili soon began competing over food, bickering with great enthusiasm. Seeing this, Yae-hime merely smiled faintly.
