Awakening Memory

Since he had decided to prepare rations for the soldiers, Ye Chuan logged off as the army set off.

After returning to the real world, Ye Chuan sat in his room and took out his phone to call Wang Yanran.

At this time, Wang Yanran was still dealing with the affairs of the Super Martial Arts Alliance. Seeing that it was Ye Chuan calling, she thought it was about the potions, so she answered—

"Ye Chuan."

"I want pork. (In a French accent)"

"..." Wang Yanran was silent for a few seconds. She silently glanced at the caller ID to confirm it was indeed Ye Chuan before she asked in confusion,

"Pork... which girl is that?"

"I mean it literally. I want pork and rice," Ye Chuan said.

"Oh, do you want me to buy groceries on my way back tonight?" Wang Yanran suddenly realized. It turned out they were out of food at home. Luo Xi usually did the grocery shopping, but maybe she didn't have time today.

"Get me two hundred tons of rice and fifty tons of pork first, along with some vegetables."

Ye Chuan's words left Wang Yanran in stunned silence.

"Hiss—" After confirming that Ye Chuan wasn't joking, Wang Yanran asked tentatively,

"Has Miss Qianshuang's appetite increased again?"

As expected of a mighty figure.

To be able to put away two hundred tons of rice and fifty tons of pork.

"I have a use for it," Ye Chuan said. "Help me find a granary and a meat processing plant. Once it's ready, I'll go pick up the goods myself."

Although Wang Yanran didn't understand what Ye Chuan wanted to do, since it was a task assigned by her boss, she quickly agreed. Even though, as the current person in charge of the Super Martial Arts Alliance, she didn't need to do such things personally—

But considering that others might not do it as well as she could, she chose to contact them herself.

After hanging up, Ye Chuan walked out of his room and found Bai Qianshuang and the others sitting on the sofa.

"Ye Chuan! Come here!" The moment Lan Xiaoke saw Ye Chuan, she immediately called him over.

"What's wrong?" Ye Chuan initially thought Lan Xiaoke wanted to play games again, but he quickly realized something was amiss. He noticed that Luo Xi and Bai Qianshuang's complexions didn't look right.

Their faces were slightly pale, completely devoid of color.

What was going on?

"What happened?" Ye Chuan hurriedly asked. "Are you feeling unwell?"

"I don't know. Qianshuang and Luo Xi suddenly fainted just now. Then, a glowing mark appeared on Qianshuang's forehead, and Luo Xi has one too." Lan Xiaoke gestured with her hands and then took out her phone to show Ye Chuan the pictures she had taken at the time.

Ye Chuan took the phone and saw that both Bai Qianshuang and Luo Xi had a glowing mark on their foreheads.

This mark was none other than...

An Emperor's Mark.

The mark of the Luo Xuan Empress. As for the one on Luo Xi, it was a different mark, but the style was extremely similar.

Ye Chuan's expression became strange.

Bai Qianshuang had the inheritance of the Luo Xuan Empress, so it was normal for her to have an Emperor's Mark. But what was going on with Luo Xi?

Luo Xi didn't have any inheritance, right?

And why did they faint?

Seeing Bai Qianshuang and Luo Xi resting with their eyes closed, Ye Chuan reached out to sense the spiritual energy within their bodies. However, after probing, he didn't find any issues.

Their mental energy was also very stable; they had just inexplicably fainted.

"Healing Spell." Ye Chuan tentatively cast a Healing Spell on the two of them. A green light spread over their bodies, but it had no alleviating effect.

"Ye Chuan, are they going to be okay? Did they do it too much recently?" Lan Xiaoke asked softly from the side.

"It has nothing to do with that," Ye Chuan pondered for a few seconds before immediately standing up to find Lilith.

Without even taking the time to knock, he pushed open the door to Lilith's room.

"Lilith!"

The room's thick curtains were drawn, leaving only a floating magic orb that cast a dim, dusky light.

Lilith was nestled on the large, soft bed, holding a book and reading it with great relish.

The sudden sound of the door opening made Lilith's hands tremble. She jerked her head up, and upon seeing that the intruder was Ye Chuan, she complained in dissatisfaction:

"Don't you know how to knock before entering my room?"

"It's an emergency." Ye Chuan grabbed Lilith by the wrist.

"Something happened to Qianshuang and Luo Xi. They suddenly fainted, and strange marks appeared on their foreheads. My Healing Spell didn't work. Hurry and come take a look with me!"

"Oh? Wait... don't carry me like a pet!"

Ye Chuan carried her and quickly walked to the living room.

In the living room, Lan Xiaoke was guarding the sofa, looking eagerly at Bai Qianshuang and Luo Xi.

Lilith walked over to the sofa. She first looked down at the marks on Bai Qianshuang and Luo Xi's foreheads. Hovering her fingertips gently above the marks, a faint trace of black magic slowly seeped out and probed into their bodies.

She seemed to be sensing something.

After a long while, Lilith finally retracted her magic and stood up straight, revealing a thoughtful expression.

"They aren't sick, nor are they injured. Instead... their souls are awakening their power."

"Awakening their power?" Ye Chuan frowned deeply. "What do you mean?"

"Perhaps it's power, or perhaps it's memories. In short—" Lilith explained as she walked over to a nearby chair and sat down,

"It might have something to do with their past lives," Lilith said, spreading her hands.

"Then why did they suddenly faint?" Ye Chuan pressed. This was the issue he cared about the most.

"It's very simple." Lilith crossed her arms.

"A person's mental energy is limited, while the soul memories of a past life, or inherited soul memories, often contain massive amounts of information. If the brain cannot handle it, they will fall into a coma."

She added, "Your Healing Spell didn't work because their bodies haven't suffered any physical damage. The issue lies on the mental plane."

"This awakening process cannot be interfered with by external forces. They can only rely on themselves to slowly adapt. Once their mental energy can withstand the impact of these memories, they will naturally wake up."

"Will they be in any danger?" Lan Xiaoke asked.

"No." Lilith shook her head.

"As long as no one disturbs them and lets them sleep peacefully, they will wake up once their mental energy adapts..."

Then, she changed the subject.

"The process of awakening memories is unpredictable. Some people might only awaken a portion of their memories, which won't have much impact on themselves."

"But some people might be so affected by their past life memories that they can no longer distinguish who they are."

Ye Chuan looked down at the two lying on the sofa.

Bai Qianshuang's brows were slightly furrowed, as if she were having a nightmare;

Luo Xi slept very quietly, though her face remained pale.

He never expected that such a thing would happen just from him leaving for a short while.

Bai Qianshuang possessed the inheritance of the Luo Xuan Empress, and considering her past life was that of an empress, awakening her memories was understandable.

After all, the reason Ye Chuan hadn't dared to sleep with her earlier was out of fear of losing his manhood.

But Luo Xi... she was clearly just an ordinary girl. How could this happen to her too?

"Then what can we do now?" Ye Chuan looked at Lilith.

"There's nothing we can do," Lilith said.

"Wait. Only when they wake up will we have all the answers."
