Chapter 386 – Memories

When Mu Chen had exited from his cultivation state, he could feel that the boundless Spiritual Energy circulating within his body was undeniably much more vigorous and dense than before.

Cultivating for a short span of half a day, in accordance to Mu Chen’s feelings, he might have already reached the same benefits as cultivating normally for ten days. Such an efficiency truly made him gasp in amazement.

According to this speed, Mu Chen could tell that it was extremely possible for him to complete his breaththrough and genuinely promote into the Heavenly Completion Stage within a month.

Lifting his hands to do a stretch, sharp and clear cracking sounds seemed to ring out from all the bones within his body. At the same time, a feeling brimming with happiness radiated from his entire body.

Lowering his head to shoot a look at the pond, he noticed that the jet black water had already turned clear and transparent once again. Obviously, the Spiritual Energy within it had already been completely sucked dry by him.

Raising his head, to look towards the other side of the pond, the scene that he saw instantly caused him to feel startled, since he saw Ling Xi currently hugging her knees. At this moment, her beautiful teardrop-shaped face appeared exceeding calm, while her weak and lovable figure seemed to be shivering.

“Elder Sister Ling Xi!” Shock filled Mu Chen as he hastily stood up and rushed over. Hugging Ling Xi up by the waist, he carried her out. The clear water dripped down from her lovable body, while the already translucent dress stuck tightly on her exquisite and voluptuous figure, accentuating those astonishing and soul-stirring curves.

However, at this moment, Mu Chen didn’t have the heart or attention left to admire such a beautiful scene. Carrying Ling Xi over the grass patch beside the pond, he retrieved an enormous set of robes and wrapped them around her.

“I’m alright. I’ve just exhausted all of my Spiritual Energy, that’s all,” replied Ling Xi as she tightened the robes that were wrapped around her. At this moment, her beautiful eyes were staring unblinkingly at Mu Chen, as if she had wanted to burn the face of the youth in front her into the depths of her mind.

“What’s the matter?” Being stared at with such a gaze, Mu Chen felt somewhat unnatural, causing him to ask out.

“Now, after looking at you again…indeed, you’re look slightly like Aunt Jing,” replied Ling Xi with a gentle smile.

“Aunt Jing?” Mu Chen was immediately startled. In the next moment, after regaining his clarity, he asked out in shock and astonishment, “Are you talking about my mum?”

Gently nodding her head, Ling Xi replied, “In the previous moment, I have faintly remembered some stuff…”

Upon speaking until here, a grin appeared on her face. Looking at Mu Chen, she spoke out, “So you’re the little Mu’er that Aunt Jing was talking about…looks like my luck’s really good, huh? I’m even able to meet up with you just by waiting at this place.”

“Come, call me Elder Sister.” Extending her jade-like hand, Ling Xi gently twisted Mu Chen’s ears, while happiness brimmed within her beautiful eyes. At this moment, with every word and action, she truly appeared to be exceeding close and intimate to Mu Chen. Furthermore, it also appeared much more naturally and smooth.

Immediately, embarrassment filled Mu Chen. However, he didn’t have any rejections towards the natural intimacy Ling Xi was showing towards him. In addition, faint feelings of warmth appeared within his heart. However, feeling helpless, he tilted his head and evaded her incoming hands. Surprise, happiness and an urgent feeling appeared within his eyes as he hastily shot a question out to her. “You’ve remembered, Elder Sister Ling Xi? Do you remember where my mum is now?”

When he had left the Northern Spirit Realm, he had promised his old man that he would definitely bring his mum back to the Northern Spirit Realm. Being alone by himself in the Northern Spirit Realm, his old man was too lonely.

However, at this moment, he was still extremely weak, and didn’t have any way of travelling around the Great Thousand World to seek for the trail of his mum. However, if he was able to get some information beforehand, it would undoubtedly be an extremely heart-inspiring matter for him.

Faintly shaking her head, Ling Xi replied, “It’s just some fragments of a memory. Furthermore, it was from an extremely long time ago…However, the place that Aunt Jing was headed to should be extremely dangerous…”

Speaking until this point, her forehead started to knit up before continuing to speak. “I might have gone to that place before…there’s even a possibility that my memories were lost in that place. Somebody should have done something to me at that place!”

Speaking until here, her voice had already become exceedingly cold and frosty. Tightly clenching her jade-like hands, hatred and bitterness flooded her eyes.

At this moment, Mu Chen had also started to frown. From the information that he had gotten from his old man, his mum should be from a place that was ancient and extremely powerful. Furthermore, during the time when she had chosen to leave, it seemed as if she was worried that the people at that place would find them.

The extremely dangerous place that Elder Sister Ling Xi had mentioned might be the mysterious place that his mother had come from.

However, what exactly happened? Why would Ling Xi, who was always following his mum, separate from her? Furthermore, why would her memories disappear?

Tightly clenching his hands, Mu Chen thought, Exactly what had happened to my mum?

“There’s no need to be worried. Aunt Jing’s extremely powerful. Even if she’s met with some trouble, it won’t be too big of a problem.”

Ling Xi’s icy jade-like hands covered Mu Chen’s hand as she spoke out in a soft voice, “As of now, what you need to do is to work hard and increase your strength. If not, even if you managed to find the location that Aunt Jing is in, you’ll be completely helpless to do anything. If you’re go there with a hot-headed and reckless approach, you might even bring unnecessary trouble for Aunt Jing.”

Hearing her words, Mu Chen’s expression turned solemn, If his mum was truly trapped in that mysterious place, the current him truly would not be one bit useful. After all, if what Ling Xi said was correct, that even her memories of that place were wiped clean…his current strength was really too miniscule.

“Elder Sister Ling Xi, how strong are you?” asked Mu Chen cautiously.

“I should have no problem dealing with the Heavenly Seated Elders of your Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy,” replied Ling Xi in a played-down manner.
