Chapter 2493 - 2183: We Can Start Over

Although Chu Yuqin’s tone remained very strong, her heart had already started to waver.

Seeing how serious Lu Chen was, coupled with that inexplicable discomfort in her heart, she really doubted whether she had some kind of connection with Lu Chen.

Seeing Chu Yuqin only talking without taking action, Lu Chen knew that his words had an effect on her.

Apparently, Chu Yuqin’s memory hadn’t been completely sealed, or perhaps it had already loosened somewhat.

If it were anyone else, they’d have raised their sword long ago, but after saying a few words, here Chu Yuqin was, stunned mid-air, still explaining to him.

However, the memories of the Ancestor of the Strange should be sealed within the Memory Pearl, and without finding it, Chu Yuqin should not be capable of recalling them. Yet, why did she react to what he said?

Lu Chen decided to go all out and see if he could awaken Chu Yuqin’s memories.

Lu Chen then said: "Madam Chu, we are not from this world."

Upon hearing this from Lu Chen, Chu Yuqin was stupefied again.

Not from this world?

What does this mean?

What’s this guy talking about?

Even if he wanted to trick her, shouldn’t he use a more plausible lie?

This is clearly false.

Chu Yuqin raised her sword, pointing it at Lu Chen, and said: "Do you even hear yourself? Do you really think I’m a fool?"

Lu Chen smiled and said: "If you truly thought I was lying, your sword would have already reached my neck instead of just pointing it at me like this."

Chu Yuqin fell into silence.

Although Lu Chen’s lie seemed utterly fake, for some reason, she felt inside that Lu Chen wasn’t lying.

In fact, she had long harbored suspicions about her own origins; the reason she’d rapidly become Elder Yu Changqin of the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land was because she could cultivate Abnormal Skills from Outer Heaven, which made her Realm improve very quickly.

Back then, she wondered if she had some special identity, but she didn’t dwell too much on it.

Of course, being able to cultivate Abnormal Skills from Outer Heaven wasn’t unprecedented.

Many people in Central State could do so, including their Holy Master.

The real thing that kept her from striking was the inexplicable familiarity and the stabbing pain in her heart.

Especially when she saw the sorrow on Lu Chen’s face, a desire to comfort him arose deep in her heart; she didn’t want to see Lu Chen sad.

Chu Yuqin tried hard to control her emotions, attempting not to be influenced by Lu Chen’s words: "The reason I haven’t killed you immediately is because I want to hear what other nonsense you can come up with to stay alive."

Lu Chen smiled and said: "Since you want to hear, then I’ll tell you everything. You are not only Madam Chu to me but also my couple."

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Chu Yuqin’s face turned utterly cold.

This young man was speaking more and more absurdly!

Maybe it was out of a desire to hear more nonsense out of Lu Chen’s mouth, so she asked next: "Since you say I am your couple, then tell me, what kind of person was I in my past life?"

Lu Chen laughed and said: "You weren’t a person in your past life."

As Lu Chen finished speaking, Chu Yuqin almost couldn’t restrain herself, spiritual evil instantly flooded into the Longsword in her hand, seemingly ready to strike, but she ultimately held back.

Lu Chen continued: "You truly weren’t human; your true identity is Mysterious, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to enter this Ancient Ruins."

"This so-called Ancient Ruins is just a Small World used by some Ancestor of the Strange to seal an unparalleled great evil."

"The entrance of this ruins is filled with Mysterious Power, only the Mysterious can withstand the Mysterious Power at the entrance to enter this Small World."

Once again, Chu Yuqin fell into silence.

When she could withstand the erosion of Mysterious Power, she did suspect her identity might be Mysterious, but the thought was fleeting, and now Lu Chen had brought it up again.

At that moment, Chu Yuqin spotted loopholes in Lu Chen’s words and said: "Since you say only the Mysterious can enter this world, why can those villagers enter the Small World too? They’re just ordinary people."

Lu Chen said: "Because I have a special constitution and possess a Magic Treasure that can resist the erosion of Mysterious Power. I used that Magic Treasure to bring those people into the Small World."

"Mysterious Power only exists at the entrance; once inside the Small World, there is no need to worry about being eroded by Mysterious Power."

After listening to Lu Chen’s explanation, Chu Yuqin didn’t know what to say. She looked at Lu Chen, feeling completely at a loss.

To act or not to act?

What if? What if Lu Chen was telling the truth?

No man had ever let her feel such familiarity at first sight.

She really felt Lu Chen was likely connected to her in some way.

But what to do if she didn’t act? Just continue being stuck like this?

Seeing that Chu Yuqin seemed to waver, Lu Chen continued: "I know you still don’t believe me, since your memories haven’t returned, it’s normal not to believe, but what I said is true, you indeed are my couple."

After hearing this, Chu Yuqin regained her composure and said coldly: "Even if what you say is true, that’s a matter of the past life. What’s past is past; in this lifetime, I have nothing to do with you."

Saying this, Chu Yuqin immediately felt chest tightness, her heart wrenching.

But she believed she wasn’t wrong, having no memories of a past life, suddenly finding herself with a couple, how was she supposed to accept him and rekindle past ties?

What a joke!

Lu Chen said: "We can start over, get to know each other, fall in love again, and become a couple once more."

Chu Yuqin said: "I am Elder Yu Changqin of the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land, and you are just a native from the Border Wilderness. Do you really believe I would fancy you?"

Lu Chen said: "Why not? I’m still under thirty, but I’ve already reached the King Realm. With my talent, I will break through to the Saint Realm and possibly the Emperor Realm within a hundred years. Numerous forces desire me; do you really believe I am unworthy of you?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuqin snapped back to reality.

Indeed, with such terrifying talent, if Lu Chen were willing to hand over Ancient Inheritance, various forces would offer him grand conditions to join them; some might even forgo inheritance just for him.

Chu Yuqin thought to herself, if she could persuade Lu Chen to join the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land, it would be a huge advantage.

However, the Ancient Inheritance is crucial; if Lu Chen doesn’t hand it over, their Holy Master might not agree to him joining the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land.

Chu Yuqin then tentatively asked: "Are you willing to join the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land for me?"

Lu Chen said: "Willing, of course willing."

Since Lu Chen agreed so easily, Chu Yuqin showed a hint of skepticism and then said: "In that case, hand over the Ancient Inheritance."

Lu Chen said: "I have already said, there is no Ancient Inheritance in this ruins, it’s simply a place used to seal an unparalleled great evil."

Disbelievingly, Chu Yuqin asked: "Where is this unparalleled great evil you speak of now?"

Lu Chen replied: "I have sealed it again."
