Chapter 2428 - 2118: Chu Qingli’s Child Is Born

Lu Chen was originally planning to continue his delight with Ji Yunmeng, but after hearing that vicious female voice from the sky, he immediately froze.

The voice sounded identical to Ji Yunmeng’s, but the moment it sounded, Lu Chen felt an eerie power infiltrate his soul.

Lu Chen regained his senses and glanced at Ji Yunmeng beneath him.

At this moment, Ji Yunmeng’s gaze was empty, and the deceitful evil on her was growing thicker.

Seeing Ji Yunmeng transforming into something mysterious, Lu Chen’s heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that Ji Yunmeng’s memory is about to be restored?

This spells trouble.

If Ji Yunmeng’s memory returns, her power as the Ancestor of the Strange may also be restored.

Currently, he’s only at the Heavenly Realm, far from being a match for the Ancestor of the Strange at her prime.

While Lu Chen was staring nervously at Ji Yunmeng, the deceitful evil aura around her gradually dissipated, but the anomaly in the sky persisted. The entire Border Wilderness was shrouded in deceitful evil, as if the end of the world had arrived.

As the Border Wilderness became enveloped in deceitful evil, evil spirits and mysteries ran increasingly rampant.

Whether it was the Great Zhou Dynasty or other dynasties, mysteries and evil spirits became active, resulting in countless deaths among humans in the Border Wilderness.

Although Lu Chen was in the Imperial Palace and didn’t know what was happening outside, as someone in the Heavenly Realm, he could clearly sense the thick deceitful evil aura in the Capital City.

Deceitful evil and spiritual evil both belong to the category of evil, but spiritual evil is relatively gentle; deceitful evil poses greater harm to the human body.

The Capital City’s thick deceitful evil is bad news both for ordinary humans and Spirit Martial Artists alike.

While Spirit Martial Artists might endure a bit longer, ordinary humans submerged in such thick deceitful evil would soon have their vitality completely eroded.

Given the current situation, Lu Chen couldn’t continue any further.

He reluctantly separated from Ji Yunmeng and proactively put on his clothes.

Seeing Lu Chen rise, the dazed Ji Yunmeng also hurriedly got up from the bed; she sensed the anomaly outside and planned to go see it.

After the two dressed, they walked side by side out of the sleeping chamber and looked up at the sky.

At this time, the sky was already shrouded in deceitful evil, and sunlight was obstructed by it, plunging the whole world into darkness.

Feeling the deceitful evil in the air, Ji Yunmeng suddenly felt her body lighten significantly.

The spiritual evil within her seemed to resonate with the deceitful evil in the sky; moreover, the sensation of being summoned grew unmistakably intense.

She seemingly heard a woman’s voice speaking in her ear, guiding her to a certain place.

Ji Yunmeng hesitated about whether to inform Lu Chen of this.

She was unsure if this was beneficial or harmful to her; what if it was an Outer Domain plot, and she ran into trouble going alone?

Although she had reached the Heavenly Realm, upon seeing Lu Chen also achieve it, Ji Yunmeng realized she wasn’t the only one capable of such a breakthrough. More importantly, there were the forces from the Outer Domain.

Rumor has it that those Outer Domain forces possess powers above the Heavenly Realm.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Ji Yunmeng ultimately decided to tell Lu Chen.

So, she turned to Lu Chen and said, "I feel a voice calling to me."

Upon hearing Ji Yunmeng’s sudden remark, Lu Chen was momentarily dumbfounded.

Lu Chen immediately reacted; could the seal in the Border Desolate Land contain Ji Yunmeng’s memory?

The voice of that woman earlier unmistakably mirrored Ji Yunmeng’s voice, and now Ji Yunmeng felt a voice beckoning her.

The mysterious power can resonate, and the Ancestor of the Strange’s memory naturally would connect in some way with the Ancestor of the Strange.

When Lu Chen came to his senses, he promptly asked, "Did the voice guide you to any particular place?"

As Ji Yunmeng was about to answer Lu Chen’s question, she suddenly felt the elusive voice in her mind disappear.

Meanwhile, the deceitful evil in the sky also dissipated.

After a momentary bewilderment, Ji Yunmeng said to Lu Chen, "The voice disappeared."

Lu Chen’s face showed a peculiar expression; could it really be as he guessed: Ji Yunmeng’s memory was summoning her, but when it sensed someone probing its location, it abruptly severed its connection with Ji Yunmeng.

If this is indeed the case, then things get interesting.

Ji Yunmeng’s memory might contain a trace of her divine sense, which surely can sense Ji Yunmeng’s state.

If he continued his delight with Ji Yunmeng, would her memory be unable to resist emerging once more?

With this thought, Lu Chen’s lips slightly curled upwards.

Lu Chen then extended his hand to wrap around Ji Yunmeng’s waist: "Since it’s all fine now, let’s return to our important matters."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yunmeng’s face turned dark instantly.

This rascal still wants to continue?

Does he intend to have a child with her?

For some reason, there seemed to be a voice reminding her from the void, advising her not to continue the act with Lu Chen, lest something bad happens.

But due to Lu Chen’s prowess, Ji Yunmeng did not struggle, and she followed Lu Chen back to the sleeping chamber, where they continued their delight.

Over the following months, Lu Chen remained in the Imperial Palace every day until Chu Qingli’s child was born.

Zhen Nan Prince Manor, Chu Qingli’s room.

At this moment, Chu Qingli lay on the bed with a large belly, looking helpless.

Ultimately, she couldn’t wait for the Border Wilderness’ restrictions to lift, sensing her child inside already eager to emerge. At this point, she couldn’t possibly harm the child.

Chu Qingli sighed deeply and said to the midwives in the room, "Prepare yourselves."

With those words, Chu Qingli concentrated her energy, striving to aid the child’s birth.

Soon after, a baby’s cries echoed through the room.

Upon hearing the commotion inside, Lu Chen promptly entered the room.

The midwife holding the child said to Lu Chen, "Congratulations, Princely Heir, it is a son."

Lu Chen, upon hearing this, approached the midwife and took the baby from her arms, then said, "From today on, your name shall be Lu Xuan."

Lu Chen knew that the child born from him and the Ancestor of the Strange was early to gain intelligence and could comprehend his words, so he named the child as soon as it was born.

After naming Lu Xuan, Lu Chen carried him to the bedside and sat beside the weak Chu Qingli, smiling at her: "Dear wife, we have a child now; surely you won’t still be thinking about leaving me, right?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, the frail Chu Qingli sneered coldly inside.

Trying to bind her with a child is wishful thinking.

Although she might spare Lu Chen’s life because of the child once the Border Wilderness’ restrictions are lifted, using her own flesh and blood as leverage to bind her to his side only shows how little Lu Chen understands her, and the people of Central State.

She never wanted this child, and in such circumstances, she wouldn’t sacrifice her future for this child.

Seeing Chu Qingli remain silent, Lu Chen placed Lu Xuan beside her.

At that moment, Chu Qingli sat up slightly, gazing down at Lu Xuan beside her.

Looking at the baby boy in front of her, Chu Qingli felt a vague, indescribable sensation in her heart.

Her emotions were complicated.

She hadn’t wanted a child with Lu Chen, but now that the child was born and is indeed her own flesh and blood, she wasn’t sure what attitude to take toward him.
