Chapter 415: Recovering Memories Translator: Tim Editor: GlobeGlotter

As if to prove Ning Qingxue’s guess, the three primitive people slowly approached her hiding place. They walked carefully, using their sticks to push aside branches. They knew someone was hiding there, but feared an ambush.

Ning Qingxue realized that a few more steps would reveal her. She didn’t know whether to shoot. Although she wanted to, shooting meant certain death. Even though they were primitive people, it was too much for her to handle.

It was different from when she used the fireball to kill the Japanese man. He had tried to rape her; now, she faced primitive people who hadn’t harmed her yet. She thought of how the primitive man treated that woman and felt scared. If the man saw her, she dreaded the consequences.

Just as she hesitated, the three suddenly stopped. The woman pointed at the ship and screamed. They had seen the ship, Ning Qingxue understood, and it was visible from their position. The man who arrived last also screamed and ran toward the ship. Seeing him go, the other two followed, as if fearing the goods would be gone.

Ning Qingxue felt relieved to see them leave. If they had reached her, she would have had no choice but to fire, possibly attracting more.

Ning Qingxue went to the cave entrance, slightly moving the branches to peek. She wanted to see what would happen if they boarded the ship.

It wasn’t far, and Ning Qingxue clearly saw the three savages running to the ship and charging at it. Two went inside; one remained outside. Their familiarity suggested it wasn’t their first encounter with such ships. Their ancestors might have had a sea accident, settling there and reproducing.

After a moment, the two who entered ran out and jumped into the sea. Ning Qingxue saw clearly that they didn’t resurface.

The woman waiting on the island screamed at this and fled. She sensed something wrong with the ship. Ning Qingxue felt scared; this ship was eerie.

The woman screamed louder, and other sounds followed. Ning Qingxue confirmed her theory—others were present. The woman ran toward them, screaming, trying to communicate. After a while, she fell silent.

Two primitive women tried to rouse her, but she didn’t react. The tribe circled the dead woman, approaching the ship, leaving her behind.

Ning Qingxue watched, wanting to see their next move. However, the woman who had fallen dead suddenly got up. Ning Qingxue was confused—had she been feigning death?

The next scene shocked Ning Qingxue even more: the woman jumped into the sea and disappeared. Ning Qingxue watched in horror, unable to comprehend what was happening. Was this a ghost ship? She decided to stay away.

She suddenly thought of her necklace. Had it protected her from the sea, unlike the woman?

As soon as Ning Qingxue touched the necklace, her chi went haywire. She dared not watch further and retreated to the cave. Her chi reacted violently, making her shiver, as if she were being burned alive. Ning Qingxue knew something was wrong with her cultivation. She quickly blocked the entrance, sat on the large rock, and began running meridian cycles.

This cultivation differed from previous ones. She felt her chi surging, seeking a breakthrough point. Ning Qingxue didn’t understand cultivation well.

After a while, Ning Qingxue felt suffocated and scared. It felt like her chi had nowhere to go. If she stopped running the meridian cycles, her meridians would burn. But as she cultivated, the chi in her dantian grew denser.

A rumbling in her brain signaled that the dense chi had found an outlet, bursting open more meridians. Ning Qingxue didn’t open her eyes but rejoiced at finally feeling better. She felt relieved, as if she had broken through something.

Suddenly, new chi rose in her dantian, charging to her Cheng Lin chakra point and into her head. A wave of comfort washed over her, and Ning Qingxue subconsciously moaned.

Without opening her eyes, she seemed to have recovered many memories. Ning Qingxue was shaken. Was this what Master Wu Guang had spoken of? That when her power reached a certain level, her memories would return?

More and more memories flooded her brain. She had recovered her memories. Memories of her and Ye Mo flowed back like a tide—from going to Ning Hai to celebrate Su Jingwen’s birthday, each scene was vivid.

The medical case and receipts, the unused bank card, those bottles, the multiple times she asked Ye Mo for money…

Ning Qingxue’s face paled. So that’s how it began with Ye Mo. Her heart ached; she didn’t dare open her eyes. She understood why she didn’t want to divorce Ye Mo.

…

She remembered finding Ye Mo in the desert with Chi Wanqing, and Ye Mo following her aunt, leaving her alone in the desert. Seeing him leave felt like her soul had emptied. And that’s when she fell in love with Ye Mo. Ning Qingxue didn’t dare open her eyes, afraid of losing her memories. But tears uncontrollably flowed down her smooth, white face.
