Chapter 2540 - 2230: You Should Be Willing to Reconcile with Me Too

Lu Chen retained his memories from the Spirit Realm, so he was well aware of how the Mysterious viewed humans.

In the eyes of the Mysterious, all living creatures were just food, and they would never allow their food to ride on their backs.

Moreover, Chu Yuqin and others were the Ancestors of the Mysterious, the creators of the Mysterious race. By rights, they would be even less tolerant of humans engaging in such activities with them.

Yet Chu Yuqin expressed that she didn’t plan to help other Ancestors of the Mysterious regain their memories for the time being.

If she didn’t help the other Ancestors of the Mysterious regain their memories, wouldn’t that mean he could continue indulging in pleasure with them and let them have his children?

Being the clone of Chu Yunzhi? Could Chu Yuqin overlook this?

Hearing Lu Chen’s words, Chu Yuqin showed a tender smile, then asked, "Why should I stop you from being together?"

This... Hearing Chu Yuqin’s question, Lu Chen was momentarily speechless.

Isn’t it obvious?

She is the Ancestor of the Mysterious, how could the Ancestor of the Mysterious allow humans to unite with the Mysterious?

Lu Chen quickly realized a possibility, then asked, "Do you think humans can coexist peacefully with the Mysterious?"

Chu Yuqin said, "It’s not that humans can coexist peacefully with the Mysterious, but rather you can coexist peacefully with us, the Ancestors of the Mysterious."

"You should also understand the situation in the Spirit Realm; now that the Spirit Realm is destroyed, we can no longer harvest food as we did before."

"This world does have food, but it’s very small, with not many humans, and the quality of the food is poor. Even if we raise many humans, it can’t meet our needs."

"But you possess endless vitality. No matter how much of your vitality is consumed, it can quickly recover. To us, you are an infinite granary."

Lu Chen said, "So that’s how it is. But as far as I understand the Ancestors of the Mysterious, shouldn’t you think about imprisoning me to prevent my escape?"

Chu Yuqin said, "Other Ancestors do have this idea, but in my view, there’s no need to bother."

"On one hand, your strength is strong enough that we simply can’t imprison you."

"Moreover, the Great Emperor cannot be dishonored. If we press you too hard, you might self-destruct."

"Without you, it would be almost impossible for us, the Ancestors of the Mysterious, to advance any further."

"On the other hand, to imprison someone, you don’t necessarily have to use suppression. You are a man who values emotions and righteousness, so using feelings as a cage is more suitable for you."

Hearing Chu Yuqin’s words, Lu Chen chuckles lightly and says, "So that’s what you think. But speaking of which, even if you continue being my woman, the other Ancestors of the Mysterious won’t agree."

Chu Yuqin said, "So I won’t let them regain their memories for the time being."

Lu Chen said, "Then hand over the Memory Pearl you just obtained to me."

Chu Yuqin immediately refused, "I won’t give it to you."

Lu Chen asked, "Why?"

Chu Yuqin calmly said, "After all, you are human. Who knows if you will change your mind in the future or develop other thoughts."

"If one day, you have ideas like the Netherworld Evil Emperor, wanting to control the Ancestors of the Mysterious, I will immediately help the other Ancestors of the Mysterious regain their memories."

If not for the incident with the Netherworld Evil Emperor, Chu Yuqin might believe Lu Chen.

But ever since they were trapped in the Burial Furnace by the Netherworld Evil Emperor, the Ancestors of the Mysterious have been particularly protective of their memories.

If their memories were completely wiped out, they would become someone’s puppet, a tool for others, which they couldn’t allow.

Right now, Lu Chen seems to just admire their beauty, but who can say for sure that Lu Chen doesn’t have other plans?

Know a person’s face but not their heart.

Moreover, the Mysterious and the Human Race are inherently hostile, and the Spirit Realm was destroyed by the Netherworld Evil Emperor.

What if one day Lu Chen wants revenge and seeks to control these Ancestors of the Mysterious.

If the Memory Pearl is really given to Lu Chen, and the memories of the Ancestors of the Mysterious cannot be restored, then they might completely become Lu Chen’s puppets.

So the memories of the Mysterious must not be handed over to Lu Chen.

Upon hearing Chu Yuqin’s words, Lu Chen understood her concerns and then said, "Alright then."

Saying this, a slight smile appeared on Lu Chen’s lips, then he asked, "Since you believe that the Ancestors of the Mysterious can coexist peacefully with me, you should also be willing to reconcile with me, right?"

Hearing Lu Chen’s words, Chu Yuqin’s mind was slightly startled, and she fell into silence for a moment.

She indeed had feelings for Lu Chen, but due to the memories of the Ancestors of the Mysterious, she had always had some resistance towards Lu Chen.

In silence, Chu Yuqin recalled the scenes from when she was with Lu Chen on the Tianchen Continent.

Those scenes seemed to have happened just yesterday. When she thought of the scene where Lu Chen attacked her, a faint blush involuntarily appeared on the jade-like face of the beautiful woman.

Seeing Chu Yuqin not answering him, Lu Chen continued to probe, "Don’t you want to return to my side? Then it seems all those words you said were lies to me."

Hearing Lu Chen’s words, Chu Yuqin snapped back to reality, then looked into Lu Chen’s eyes and said, "Of course, I can once again become your partner."

Seeing Chu Yuqin agree, Lu Chen was delighted. He originally thought he would have to reach the Saint Realm to have a chance to reconcile with Chu Yuqin. Unexpectedly, he could be with Chu Yuqin once again so soon.

Lu Chen immediately said, "Since you have agreed to reconcile with me, let’s return to the Capital city immediately."

Seeing Lu Chen eager to return to the Capital city, Chu Yuqin understood his little thoughts.

Having lived with Lu Chen in the Burial Furnace for so many years, she knew very well what kind of person Lu Chen was.

This little rascal has been eyeing her body already. His eagerness to hurry back was clearly to make a move on her.

But since she had agreed to reconcile with him, even if he wanted it, naturally, she should give it to him.

Moreover, he had restored the memories of the Ancestors of the Mysterious and needed to consume vitality to enhance his Realm. This world made him feel very uneasy, so she needed to strengthen her power quickly.

For the Mysterious, enhancing strength is straightforward—it’s about continuously harvesting food and consuming vitality.

And Lu Chen possesses infinite vitality. As long as she does that with Lu Chen, she can quickly enhance her strength.

Afterwards, the two quickly left those ruins and returned to the Capital city.

Just after they left, a dozen gigantic Flying Boats appeared in the sky. In fact, Lu Chen had already sensed their presence as he was departing.

But he still had more important things to do, so even if something major was happening now, he wouldn’t deal with it.

Meanwhile, in the palace where Yun Yudie was located.

Standing by the window, Yun Yudie looked northward.

At that moment, she suddenly felt an inexplicable restlessness in her heart, as if a familiar aura was quickly approaching her.

Yun Yudie was puzzled. Could it be that the thing was moving? Or had someone obtained it?

Thinking of this possibility, Yun Yudie clenched her fists.

At this moment, two streaks of light flashed across the sky. Sensing the aura of Lu Chen and Chu Yuqin, Yun Yudie felt something was amiss.

Her intuition told her that the thing that attracted her had already fallen into the hands of either Lu Chen or Chu Yuqin.
