Yesterday, she was a high-born noblewoman, esteemed by the heavens, born from a prestigious clan, possessing an exceptionally noble status, gifted with exceptional talent, and possessing formidable cultivation. Today, however, she found herself perceived as a dead person in her own home – all her prestige and accomplishments have faded into nothing but a memory...
That these two women have not collapsed yet went against Chu Mo's expectations.
After a moment of thought, Chu Mo decided to reveal to them the vision passed on to him by the Realm Spirit.
"I have proof," Chu Mo declared.
"I want to see it!" Qin Shi's face was cloaked in the look of certitude as she brought out a message board to search for news on the Heavenly Realm's Qin family. Despite Chu Mo's revelations, she still had no memories of her own clan.
She needed to understand it better.
Chu Mo turned his gaze towards Dong Yu.
Dong Yu, wearing a cheerful smile, replied, "Then, I'll take a look too."
Speaking, she dashed off to check the pot of meat she'd been stewing.
A spasm of disbelief flashed across Chu Mo's face. He wondered to himself, how nonchalant does one need to be to reach Dong Yu's level of indifference?
"Oh my, bring it out quickly for us to see. The meat will be ready soon. If it's left in too long, it will lose its freshness," Dong Yu commented.
"…" Chu Mo and Qin Shi were rendered speechless.
Chu Mo began to manifest the memories passed onto him by the Realm Spirit, projecting them into the void.
Thankfully, he had broken through to the Innate Realm; otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to share these memories with them.
The scenes unfolding began from the argument between Qin Shi and Luo Ning, right up to the appearance of Dong Yu. Following that was Luo Ning's ceaseless taunts against Dong Yu, pushing her to the brink of retaliating.
Unexpectedly, it was Luo Ning who struck first, dealing Dong Yu a heavy blow that left her on the brink of death.
Qin Shi threw herself onto Dong Yu, weeping loudly, while Luo Ning, looking frenzied, launched an assault on Qin Shi.
The memory was exceptionally clear, clearly depicting the frenzied look on Luo Ning's face as he struck.
It was a face twisted with cruelty, a face unbeknownst to even Dong Yu at the time.
As for Qin Shi, she was ambushed by Luo Ning from behind, completely unaware of his intentions.
In hindsight, Dong Yu had at least known the cause of her demise, but Qin Shi's death was clouded under a shroud of mystery.
Although she had lost all her memories, Qin Shi seethed in rage as she watched the scene unfold, calling Luo Ning a "beast!"
Even Dong Yu, who was known for her indifference, grew silent at the scene, raising her tear-strained eyes to Qin Shi and apologizing, "Sister Shishi...I'm sorry! It appears that I dragged you into this."
Qin Shi grasped Dong Yu's hand firmly, "We are sisters!"
The two of them continued to watch Luo Ning's murmurs play out in the memory.
When Luo Ning produced the Soul Scattering Drink, both Dong Yu and Qin Shi had expressions of anger and horror on their faces.
Both of them had been close to perishing from the power of Luo Ning's previous strike on them, the damage to their souls was looming and inevitable. Even after waking up in the external world, their recovery would have been a challenge.
Never did they imagine that Luo Ning's cruelty would go as far as he had, he would not rest until their souls were thoroughly and completely scattered.
"Soul Scattering Drink...it's capable of completely annihilating a cultivator's soul." Qin Shi said coldly.
Even though she had lost her memories, some knowledge had completely fused into her soul, becoming an instinct.
Dong Yu watched as the 'herself' in Chu Mo's memory screamed for 'mother' with tears streaming down her face. She pressed her lips together hard, preventing herself from bursting into tears.
Qin Shi watched Luo Ning in the memory, who was talking to himself with a grim and deranged expression. Her face grew paler and paler. Finally, she closed her eyes slowly as a clear tear trickled down her cheek.
In the end, Luo Ning in the memory tried to find Chu Mo everywhere but failed, so she walked away with disappointment.
Then, the small world started to shake. Five drops of water came down - three landing on Chu Mo, one on each of the two girls.
And then... the memory ended.
Qin Shi breathed out slowly, slowly opened her eyes, and sincerely apologized to Chu Mo, "I'm sorry, Young Master Chu. I misunderstood you before. You saved my life, and I will never forget this favor!"
"Since I encountered you, I couldn't just stand by and watch." Chu Mo shook his head slightly. "I... I sympathize with your plight as well."
Dong Yu frowned on the side, spoken with some agony, "We're free now, but I can't remember anything. This feeling is really uncomfortable. Looking at all this, it's like watching the plight of others... Ah, let me think, is there any way to repair our souls?"
Qin Shi uncertainly said, "I think there are a few elixirs that can repair the soul, but we currently have no ability to get them!"
"I can help you." said Chu Mo.
At this time, Qin Shi looked at Chu Mo with some surprise and put away her communication device.
Even though she still had no memory of the past, she had a rough understanding of the whole event. Objectively speaking, Qin Shi was gentle-natured and didn't particularly despise anyone.
But after all, Chu Mo's realm is too low!
It's not about looking down or not, just as a human's view of an ant, no matter how much they respect it, it's still an ant….
"We appreciate your kindness, Young Master Chu, but... those elixirs are incredibly expensive and rare. To repair our souls, we need to go through a long process. This is not a small expense." Qin Shi looked sincerely at Chu Mo, "Moreover, we are all at the innate stage now. To cultivate back to our previous levels, we would need an unimaginable amount of resources. We may need to rely on you in the future, so it's better to act according to our means."
At this time, Dong Yu looked at Qin Shi and suddenly inquired, "If we go back to our clan, what will happen?"
Qin Shi looked at Dong Yu with some compassion, "Why? Feared because the cultivation resources we need are too great?"
Dong Yu shrank her neck accordingly, plaintively said, "Yes, I'm somewhat afraid. Luo Ning came to kill me…I may not remember anything, but clearly, Luo Ning didn't want to kill me just for his brother."
Chu Mo nodded his head, sighed and told Dong Yu what she had told him before, using the method of transmitting sound.
After a moment, Dong Yu finally nodded with a gloomy expression, "So, I see. In that case, I definitely can't go back to my clan."
"You shouldn't go back in the first place." Even though Qin Shi had no idea what Chu Mo told Dong Yu, she didn't ask more about it.
Dong Yu wondered, "Why can't you go back, sister?"
Qin Shi looked at Dong Yu, "Now, we possess the physical constitution of Five Elements. On top of that, we're only at the Innate Realm. Isn't going back to our clan asking for death?"
"This... shouldn't we be considered a genius and trained within the clan if we return?" asked Chu Mo, somewhat curious.
Qin Shi said lightly, "The clan can certainly train us. The constitution of Five Elements is different from that the previous Nine Yin Body; it's the top physique for the Daoist Realm! Even if it requires massive resources, our clan would definitely train us. However, within your clan and mine, there would be countless people who would not want us to live. Moreover, this is just internal to the clan. What about outsiders? What about Luo's family? Would they let us go? I'm afraid we wouldn't even reach our clan. Our present situation, once it gets out, I'm afraid we couldn't even get out of the Illusion God Realm. We would be directly killed here."
Qin Shi continued, "Moreover, our physical bodies are probably going to be buried soon. Since we've lost our past memories and can't restore our previous state, how could we return to the Heavenly Realm?"
