How did you do that?

Upon hearing Lu Chen's answer, the two women felt that Lu Chen's guess was not unreasonable. Some of their memories might indeed have been sealed in the covenant token.

Perhaps only when they have completed the contents of the covenant will the memory of signing the covenant return to their respective minds.

Self-sealing of memories is a common practice; they had already done it while inside the mortuary.

However, at that time, they only sealed their memories within their own souls, without extracting the memories themselves.

Lu Chen then said, "Your memories will be extracted; there are two possibilities."

"One possibility is that you actively stripped away your memories and sealed them away in this world."

"Another possibility is that a powerful being stripped away your memories."

"I lean more towards the first possibility."

"If a peerless powerhouse had stripped away the memories of you strange ancestors, then that person's strength would be immeasurable."

Li Qingrou said, "Under normal circumstances, we are unlikely to actively seal our memories, unless we encounter a situation like the one inside the Burial Furnace."

"But this world doesn't seem to be able to erase our memories."

Lu Chen said, "Is it possible that you are hiding from something, which is why you have to seal your memories away?" After hearing Lu Chen's guess, the two fell into deep thought again.

If Lu Chen's guess is correct, then what they need to avoid is probably an unparalleled powerhouse that they cannot contend with.

The act of actively sealing memories is most likely to avoid causal deduction and to prevent some terrifying being from knowing their location, so they have no choice but to do so.

If that's really the case, then why were their memories of signing the alliance sealed separately instead of being sealed together with their memory beads?

Could it be that they themselves don't want to know why they signed the alliance with Lu Chen, or what the point of doing so is?

Lu Chen said, "There's no use thinking about this now. Once our alliance is complete and you regain your memories, you'll know what all this is all about."

"I believe you will make the right choice."

"As for Xuan Qingyun, it's not hard to understand why she wants to pledge allegiance to the Netherworld Evil Emperor."

"She never practiced dual cultivation with me, nor did she bear me any children, so naturally she can't let go of her dignity."

"In her view, being with me was a great disgrace to the strange race, so she couldn't rationally think about why we signed the alliance again, and only wanted to get rid of me, this scourge, as soon as possible."

"Of course, most importantly, she has never received any favors from me, nor has she consumed my life force. To her, I, her blood food, am completely dispensable."

At this point, Lu Chen revealed a gentle smile. "Alright, my two ladies, come here. I will now assist you in your cultivation."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, the two women came to their senses.

The two women stared at Lu Chen's innocent smile, wondering if he was being sincere.

Or is all of this just a delaying tactic on his part?

At this moment, Chu Yunzhi took the initiative to walk towards Lu Chen and said indifferently, "Whether you are sincere or just stalling for time, you cannot attack us before the covenant token disappears. I will choose to believe everything you say for now."

Since things have already been discussed openly, let's leave it at that. In any case, the token of the alliance is still there, and their alliance is not yet complete.

Since Lu Chen is willing to help them restore their memories and assist them in their cultivation, they don't need to be polite. They should take advantage of this time to enjoy themselves and get what they need from Lu Chen. They can talk about other things after they leave this world.

As she spoke, Chu Yunzhi came to the bedside and slowly sat down next to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen raised his arm, wrapped it around Chu Yunzhi's slender waist, and flipped her over, pinning her to the bed. He looked down into her eyes.

Li Qingrou stood to the side, her mind filled with the absurd things they had done back in the Fengyun Palace. A ripple stirred in her heart, and then she walked toward the bed.

Lu Chen can no longer create clones as he did inside the burial furnace.

But with his current strength, dealing with two people is more than enough for him.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye. During these two months, Chu Yunzhi and Li Qingrou stayed in Lu Chen's room, which annoyed Chu Yuqin. She also wanted to devour Lu Chen's life force, but the two women kept clinging to Lu Chen.

I don't know what they were thinking. Back when they were in the burial furnace, the reason they did those absurd things with Lu Chen was because they hadn't recovered the memories of the strange progenitor, so they could easily accept multiple women serving one husband.

But now that they have regained their ancestral memories and know their noble status, Chu Yunzhi and Li Qingrou are actually able to put aside their pride and serve Lu Chen together.

This puzzled Chu Yuqin, and she couldn't help but wonder if the two of them were plotting something.

A streak of blue light flew from afar and landed in Lu Chen's courtyard.

Chu Yuqin walked to the door of Lu Chen's room and checked the situation inside. Seeing that Lu Chen was in high spirits, Chu Yuqin frowned slightly. She didn't expect that her clone was not as uninhibited as her main body.

Logically speaking, the original body should care more about its reputation than her clone.

After regaining her senses, Chu Yuqin said directly, "Lu Chen, we should go back to the borderlands."

Hearing the sound from the doorway, Lu Chen took a deep breath and said, "I'm coming right now."

After speaking, Lu Chen finished his cultivation, then tidied himself up and straightened his clothes.

Chu Yunzhi and Li Qingrou got out of bed, tidied their clothes, and then opened the door together, leaving the room. Chu Yuqin gave Chu Yunzhi and Li Qingrou a meaningful look before saying, "I didn't disturb you, did I?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "No, even if you don't come to me, I'm planning to come to you later."

Chu Yuqin asked with a skeptical look, "Really? I thought you were having a great time just now?"

Lu Chen immediately changed the subject, saying, "Let's not talk about this anymore, let's hurry back to the borderlands."

At this point, Lu Chen glanced at Li Qingrou and Chu Yunzhi and asked, "Would you like to come with me to the borderlands?"

Li Qingrou countered with, "When do you plan to return to Zhongzhou?"

Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "I will return to Zhongzhou after the borderlands are stabilized."

Li Qingrou said, "In that case, I will not go to the borderlands with you."

Chu Yunzhi said, "I'm not going either. I plan to see if there are any other strange progenitors' memory beads that can be unsealed in Zhongzhou."

Lu Chen said, "Alright, then you can stay in Zhongzhou."

At this point, Lu Chen looked at Chu Yuqin and said, "Let's go now."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two transformed into two long streaks of light and left the Heavenly Profound Holy Land. On their way back to the Great Zhou Dynasty, Chu Yuqin asked curiously, "How did you do that?"

Lu Chen retorted, "What? How did you do that?"

Chu Yuqin asked, "Why were they all in your room at the same time?"

Lu Chen realized what was happening and then said with a smile, "Maybe it's because I'm quite charming."

Chu Yuqin said speechlessly, "If you don't want to talk about it, then forget it."

Lu Chen said, "This is nothing unusual. Back in the burial furnace, it was normal for there to be more than a dozen people in a room, let alone the two of them."

Chu Yuqin said, "At that time, they hadn't regained their memories yet."
