Chapter 2560 - 2250: If He’s Willing, I’ll Help You Recover Your Memories

Recently, Yun Yudie has been somewhat troubled.

As her belly grew larger, Yun Yudie’s repulsion toward the life inside her grew stronger.

Whenever she thought of the child in her womb being that human, Lu Chen’s, she felt an urge to smack it to death with her hand.

But for the deal with Lu Chen, she forcibly suppressed this urge.

In the bedchamber, Yun Yudie lazily lay on a lounge chair, her belly protruding, her eyes gazing out at the dark night through the window, lost in thought.

At this moment, Zhou Youyou, Zhou Xiaoxiao, and Xu Jingshu arrived at Yun Yudie’s bedchamber. Seeing her in a daze, the three women did not greet or disturb her.

In recent days, Yun Yudie had become increasingly silent.

Their gazes involuntarily fell upon her round belly.

Seeing Yun Yudie pregnant, Zhou Youyou had been quite happy.

After all, now that even Yun Yudie was pregnant, she probably wouldn’t still be thinking of getting rid of her own child, would she?

But Zhou Xiaoxiao and Xu Jingshu were a bit anxious.

Even the Sect Hierarch of the Heavenly Fate Sect, Yun Yudie, had been made pregnant by Lu Chen, so what about them?

Would there come a day when they too would find themselves pregnant with Lu Chen’s child?

Yun Yudie naturally sensed the arrival of the three women, but she had no interest in dealing with them now.

She was pondering a question: why can inanimate and living beings create new life together?

Recently, this question had been on her mind.

If Zhou Youyou getting pregnant with Lu Chen’s child was an accident, then her pregnancy with his child could not be considered an accident.

Once might be an accident, but twice certainly wasn’t; perhaps in the future, Lu Chen would make more females harbor his children strangely.

Who knows how Lu Chen managed it.

The Mysterious bodies simply weren’t suited for nurturing life.

No matter how many times she investigated, there was no vitality within her.

The vitality they devoured was all transformed into Deceitful Evil, converted into their own power, but couldn’t be absorbed by the fetus in her womb. How could the fetus possibly grow?

At this moment, a clear and elegant woman’s silhouette appeared at the doorway of the main hall. Upon seeing who it was, Yun Yudie came to her senses and spoke to the graceful woman at the door:

"After I give birth to this child, you’ll help me restore my memory, right?"

Upon hearing Yun Yudie’s question, Chu Yuqin smiled and said:

"That depends on what Lu Chen says. If he’s willing, then I’ll help restore your memory."

Chu Yuqin herself didn’t understand Lu Chen’s reasoning for agreeing to allow Yun Yudie to regain her memory. Wasn’t he afraid that once Yun Yudie regained her memory, she’d go after him with everything she had?

Yun Yudie happened to genuinely be an Ancestor of the Strange, unlike her, who was just a Clone of the Ancestor.

Her clone had been separated within the Burial Furnace, hence her affection for Lu Chen.

While the Ancestor of the Strange had lived through countless ages, the memories formed with Lu Chen in the Burial Furnace made up only a small portion of their total memories.

This portion of memory was insignificant; even if deep emotions developed for Lu Chen in the Burial Furnace, such emotions would be diluted among countless memories.

Chu Yuqin suspected that Lu Chen was deceiving Yun Yudie, and after Yun Yudie gave birth to this child, Lu Chen might break his promise and stop her from restoring Yun Yudie’s memory.

This was well possible for Lu Chen; after all, a man’s words can be the greatest deception—this little bandit was adept at fooling people, otherwise how could he have claimed so many Strange Ancestors?

At this moment, Chu Yuqin walked over to Yun Yudie, squatted down, and said:

"Let me examine the child."

Yun Yudie calmly replied:

"As you please."

Following this, Chu Yuqin placed her hand on Yun Yudie’s belly, using Mysterious Power to probe Yun Yudie’s body.

The fetus inside Yun Yudie’s womb had already developed a Spiritual Sense; upon sensing an external force entering his mother’s womb, he began to fiercely resist, preventing Chu Yuqin’s power from entering Yun Yudie’s body.

Chu Yuqin smiled slightly and spoke to the fetus within the belly:

"Don’t worry, I won’t harm you."

Even after hearing Chu Yuqin’s words, the fetus inside continued to strongly resist.

But soon, once the fetus detected the purity of the Mysterious Power that Chu Yuqin introduced, it stopped resisting and instead began to ravenously absorb the Mysterious Power that Chu Yuqin sent forth.

Upon entering the fetus’s body, the Mysterious Power caused no harm to the fetus.

Seeing Yun Yudie’s fetus actively absorbing Mysterious Power, Chu Yuqin mused that indeed, this child was also a hybrid of human and Mysterious.

Back when they gave birth to those children in the Burial Furnace, the children’s bodies eventually harbored Mysterious Power, transforming them into half-human, half-Mysterious beings.

She was genuinely curious about how humans and inanimate creations could give birth to beings caught between life and death, and whether these half-human, half-Mysterious beings should be classified as inanimate objects or as living organisms.

At this moment, Yun Yudie too noticed the anomaly in her fetus. Observing the fetus frantically devouring Chu Yuqin’s Mysterious Power, Yun Yudie initially felt worried, fearing that Chu Yuqin’s Mysterious Power might harm the fetus. Should anything happen to the fetus, it might anger Lu Chen, jeopardizing her chance to receive vitality or have her memory restored.

However, after seeing the fetus proactively absorbing Mysterious Power, only then did the stone weighing down her heart fall away.

Noticing Chu Yuqin remain silent and simply observe the fetus, Yun Yudie took the initiative to ask:

"Do you know what this child is? How can the Mysterious and humans create life?"

Coming back to her senses, Chu Yuqin replied:

"The exact reason is unclear to me either; it must be because Lu Chen is special. Not just you, Lu Chen and many female Mysterious have given birth to offspring, and those offspring were also half-human, half-Mysterious."

Yun Yudie asked:

"Including you?"

Chu Yuqin answered:

"Yes."

Yun Yudie continued to ask:

"And your child? Where is he now?"

Chu Yuqin replied:

"We don’t know where those children went, but once Lu Chen’s power is restored, he should be able to sense their location."

Yun Yudie continued to ask:

"Since you too are Mysterious, and likely hold a high status within the Mysterious community, weren’t you mocked when the news of you bearing offspring with a human spread back to the Mysterious community?"

Chu Yuqin laughed and said:

"As you mentioned, my status within the Mysterious community isn’t low. Given this, even if I did something, do you think any Mysterious would dare mock me?"

"This..." Yun Yudie hesitated to speak.

Chu Yuqin’s words made sense; to enforce silence among all Mysterious, her status must indeed be exceedingly high.

Chu Yuqin withdrew her jade-like hands, stood up, and said to Yun Yudie:

"Don’t overthink this. Even if you were to bear one hundred or one thousand children for Lu Chen, with your status in the Mysterious community, no one dares to speak out against you."

Yun Yudie was a true Ancestor of the Strange, she and the other Strange Ancestors created all the inhabitants of the Deceit Realm.

If any Mysterious dared to ridicule Yun Yudie, their eradication would not be far off.

The immortal and indestructible nature of the Mysterious isn’t effective before everyone.

The Ancestors of the Strange, being able to create the Mysterious, could naturally revoke the immortality and indestructibility of the Mysterious.
