Chapter 2412 - 2102: Ji Yunmeng’s Child Is Born
Time flowed like a fleeting horse, and in the blink of an eye, several months had passed.
Lu Chen originally planned to use the same tactic he used against Chu Qingli to provoke Yun Yudie and the others, but Yun Yudie was entirely unfazed by pressure. No matter how much he threatened, even with the threat of sealing them, Yun Yudie remained indifferent.
Trying to make Yun Yudie and the others anxious to increase the chances of pregnancy was almost impossible.
Especially Zhou Youyou, every time Lu Chen threatened her, saying if she didn’t give him a child, he would seal her.
But instead of being scared, Zhou Youyou was actually quite excited.
Lu Chen seriously doubted whether he had become too easygoing, leading others to not believe his harsh words.
Actually, it wasn’t Lu Chen’s fault; each time he spoke harshly, he became very fierce.
He wanted to use words to provoke them, to make them anxious, and then cooperate with his actions to increase the probability of pregnancy.
But because of his fierceness, Zhou Youyou and the others completely ignored Lu Chen’s threats, their minds filled with thoughts of men and women, disregarding the pressure Lu Chen exerted.
Fortunately, even though they were not pregnant, Ji Yunmeng’s child was safely born.
Zhen Nan Prince Manor, Ji Yunmeng’s room.
Ji Yunmeng lay on the bed, her belly prominently raised, visibly moving.
At this time, a few midwives and maids were already standing in the room, prepared for the delivery.
Suddenly, Ji Yunmeng felt a sharp pain in her belly.
As a Spirit Martial Artist, Ji Yunmeng could naturally endure the intense pain.
A trace of pain appeared on her face, yet she did not let out any moans and even was thoughtful enough to remind the midwives: "He’s coming out soon, be ready."
Upon hearing Ji Yunmeng, the midwives immediately began the delivery.
The process went very smoothly, without much complication, and moments later, the sound of a baby’s cries filled the entire room.
Lu Chen stood at the door, and upon hearing the baby’s cry, he immediately entered the room.
The midwife held the baby in front of Lu Chen and said: "Congratulations, Princely Heir, it’s a boy."
Upon hearing the midwife’s words, Ji Yunmeng, lying on the bed in a weakened state, finally breathed a sigh of relief. With this legitimate son, Lu Chen should support her in ascending to that position.
Lu Chen took the baby from the midwife’s hands, showing a gentle smile, and then said: "Daddy has chosen a name for you, it’s Lu Heng, do you like it?"
Upon hearing this, the baby seemed to understand, raising his tiny hands, bursting into a fit of giggles.
Seeing that Lu Chen seemed to like the child she gave birth to, Ji Yunmeng felt much more at ease inside.
After playing with Lu Heng for a while, Lu Chen went to the window and placed Lu Heng beside Ji Yunmeng. Ji Yunmeng lay on the bed, slightly lowering her head to gaze at her child.
Lu Chen said: "My dear, thank you for your hard work."
Ji Yunmeng didn’t speak, now completely drained, neither wanting to move nor to talk.
Lu Chen remained in the room with the mother and son duo for about two hours before leaving them.
Upon exiting Ji Yunmeng’s chamber, Lu Chen went to the study and opened the system interface.
"Ding, detected that the host’s wife has given birth to a descendant for the host, rewarded with Rebirth Stone."
Seeing the system reward, Lu Chen unhesitatingly opened the system introduction for the Rebirth Stone.
[Rebirth Stone: Can be used to detect and seal certain special memory fragments.]
Reading the introduction to the Rebirth Stone, a hint of confusion appeared on Lu Chen’s face.
Special memory fragments?
What are these memory fragments?
Could it be that the Rebirth Stone is sealing my own memories?
However, my past memories have already been restored, and the system introduction mentions it’s used for detection and sealing, not that it contains certain memories within.
While Lu Chen pondered the purpose of the Rebirth Stone, it suddenly emitted a rainbow-colored light.
In the next moment, the system interface popped up once more: "When the Rebirth Stone detects special memory fragments, it radiates rainbow light as a reminder. The host merely needs to locate those special memory fragments to carry out the sealing."
Lu Chen immediately asked: "System, whose special memory fragments are those?"
The system didn’t hold back, promptly answered: "Ancestor of the Strange’s memory fragments."
Upon hearing the system’s response, Lu Chen’s heart skipped a beat; Ancestor of the Strange’s memory fragments?
Could it be Yun Yudie and the others have lost their memories because their memories were extracted and dispersed throughout this world?
If one does not want them to recover their memories, then sealing those dispersed memory fragments across the world before they retrieve them would ensure they never know they are their enemy.
Thinking of this, a fervor rose in Lu Chen’s heart.
If he could seal all the Ancestor of the Strange’s memories, then maybe their lives could return to peace.
Lu Chen’s gaze shifted to the Rebirth Stone, which at the moment emanated increasingly dazzling rainbow light, indicating it had detected a memory fragment of the Ancestor of the Strange.
However, the Rebirth Stone only emitted light, without guidance, so how was he to know where the memory fragment was located?
Lu Chen asked the system again: "Does the Rebirth Stone merely emit light upon detecting a memory fragment? Is there no guidance given?"
The system prompted: "When the Rebirth Stone releases rainbow light, it indicates the presence of an Ancestor of the Strange’s memory fragment nearby."
"However, because that memory fragment is in some sort of sealed state, the Rebirth Stone cannot identify its location."
"Only when the memory fragment becomes unsealed will the Rebirth Stone actively guide the host to its location."
Lu Chen quickly realized.
Therefore, the memory fragment is sealed, and its location must be nearby; otherwise, the Rebirth Stone wouldn’t emit such brilliant rainbow light.
Finding the site of this memory fragment’s sealing might not be an easy task.
At that moment, Lu Chen suddenly thought of something.
Wait, could this memory fragment be connected to the Ancient Ruins that Chu Qingli and the others are searching for?
Now the Ancient Ruins have not yet emerged, hence the seal remains, so naturally, the Rebirth Stone cannot ascertain its position.
If it truly relates to the Ancient Ruins, then what they are seeking as the Ancient Inheritance is likely those memory fragments.
Having reached this conclusion, a smile appeared on Lu Chen’s face.
If indeed as he conjectured, then he certainly cannot let Chu Qingli and them obtain this Ancient Inheritance.
With this realization, Lu Chen promptly put away the Rebirth Stone.
At this time, heaven and earth suddenly underwent changes, the ground trembled, and the sky radiated a rainbow-colored light, instantly causing panic throughout the border wilderness.
Lu Chen was about to head out to see what was happening when a maid hurriedly approached him and said: "Princely Heir, bad news! The sky is about to crack."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen furrowed his brows.
Without hesitation, he stepped out of the study.
As he walked out of the study, he looked up at the sky.
At this moment, many fine cracks appeared in the sky, emitting rainbow light from within.
Lu Chen thought to himself, could it be the appearance of the Rebirth Stone that triggered this anomaly?
Could it be that the border wilderness’ restraint is about to disappear?
If this is the case, then it’s troublesome.
He had gathered information from Chu Qingli during this period, and learned that Central State’s forces have powerful experts above the Heavenly Realm. If those experts enter the border wilderness, he won’t be able to seize the inheritance within the Ancient Ruins, and he might even face danger to his life.
