184: Chapter 184

Snow Empress received Lu Jing's gaze and nodded in perfect coordination. A faint glint of what could only be called approval flashed in her icy blue eyes, as if saying: "Yes, you should be the one to go."

"..."

Wang Donger was left speechless by the two of them acting in tandem.

However, looking at Ah Yin's clear blue eyes, which were still filled with confusion and waiting for an answer, she knew she was indeed one of the most suitable candidates to speak.

After all, she was the one who had requested Ah Yin's resurrection.

She took a deep breath, suppressed the nervousness in her heart, and took a small step forward, trying her best to make her smile look gentle and harmless, while softening her voice:

"Um... it was us... we used some methods to help you... well, recover to your current appearance. Simply put, it could be said that... we resurrected you."

She tried to simplify the process as much as possible, using the word "resurrected" in the hope that it would be easier for Ah Yin to understand.

Upon hearing this, the look of confusion in Ah Yin's sapphire-like eyes did not diminish; instead, it seemed to deepen.

She seemed to be struggling to understand the meaning of the word "resurrected," or perhaps she was trying to recall something, but in the end, she simply nodded gently, as if accepting the explanation without delving into the specific process or reasons for her resurrection.

Then, she posed a second question, her gaze sweeping over the strange scenery around them once more:

"Where... is this?"

This question was relatively simple.

Wang Donger breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied: "This is the Sunset Forest, a place called the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. The energy here is special and very suitable for plants... well, very suitable for recovery and cultivation."

Ah Yin nodded again, her gaze lingering for a moment on the red and white springs and the surrounding Immortal Plants, seeming to develop an instinctive liking for the environment.

But immediately, she knitted her delicate brows slightly. Her clear eyes looked back at Wang Donger, then swept past Lu Jing and Snow Empress behind her, before asking the third question—one that made the hearts of the three people present tighten instantly and their pupils constrict:

"Then... who am I?"

Her voice remained soft, carrying a hint of uncertain inquiry, as if she were merely asking about an ordinary name that had nothing to do with her.

"Who am I?"

These three words, like three cold awls, pierced deeply into the hearts of Lu Jing, Wang Donger, and Snow Empress!

The three of them were stunned almost simultaneously, the expressions on their faces freezing instantly!

The gentle smile on Wang Donger's face stiffened, her powder-blue eyes filled with disbelief.

Lu Jing's brows locked tightly, his gaze becoming exceptionally sharp and grave.

Even Snow Empress, who had remained aloof and observant, had a flash of clear surprise in her icy blue eyes.

You've got to be kidding me?!

Resurrection was a success, the transformation was successful, and she looked lucid, so how... how could the memories be lost during the resurrection?!

Amnesia?!

This joke has gone too far!

They had gone to such great lengths, utilizing the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Seagod's Light, Divine Power of destruction, and even the power of the Radiant Goddess Butterfly, to finally nurture Ah Yin from a Blue Silver Emperor with weak intelligence into a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast and transform her into a human. And yet... the person in question couldn't even remember who she was?

What is this? Working hard to raise a daughter, only for the daughter not to recognize her parents?

Lu Jing only felt a headache coming on.

He had anticipated many difficulties, such as Ah Yin not trusting them after waking up, or Ah Yin harboring residual memories of hatred toward Spirit Hall and thus being hostile toward Qian Renxue, or even the possibility of other problems arising from an incomplete transformation...

But the one thing he hadn't counted on was amnesia—the most clichéd and helpless situation of all!

An Ah Yin without memories was like a blank sheet of paper. She was no longer Xiao Wu's mother, no longer Tang San's mother, and no longer the Blue Silver Emperor who sacrificed herself for Tang Hao.

She was just a newcomer who had just gained consciousness, was full of curiosity about the World, and didn't even know her own name.

How much value did such an Ah Yin have for their future plans?

Or rather, how should they treat such a brand-new Ah Yin?

Tell her the truth?

Tell her that she is the mother of your son Tang San, your son is the future God King, your husband is the Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, you sacrificed yourself for them, and we resurrected you to... er, to take precautions against your son?

Can this even be said?

Even if said, would she believe it?

Even if she believed it, in her current blank state, could she understand and accept such a complex, and perhaps even contradictory, identity and past?

Not tell the truth?

Then how should they explain her existence?

How should they settle her?

Should they just raise a mother of a future God King who has amnesia?

Lu Jing, Wang Donger, and Snow Empress looked at each other, seeing deep helplessness and a hint of absurdity in each other's eyes.

This situation was truly... completely unexpected.

Time seemed to freeze for a few seconds, with only the faint gurgling sound of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well springs and the lingering, rich aura of life energy remaining to remind them of where they were.

In the end, it was Wang Donger who first regained a shred of composure from this sudden blow.

She turned her head to look at Lu Jing and Snow Empress beside her, her stunningly beautiful face showing obvious panic and bewilderment. Her voice was extremely low, carrying a hint of seeking help: "What should we do... how do we... handle this now?"

She had originally thought that resurrecting Ah Yin, even if her memories were incomplete, would at least allow her to recognize people, or retain basic intelligence and self-awareness.

But now, the other party didn't even know who she was, which completely disrupted her expectations.

How should they get along with someone who has amnesia and is nominally Tang San's mother?

And how should they settle her?

A rare trace of helplessness flashed in Snow Empress's icy blue eyes.

She had lived for seven hundred thousand years, experienced countless storms, witnessed the brutal survival of the fittest and the deceit among Spirit Beasts, and endured the heart-pounding struggle against heavenly tribulations. Yet, facing this bizarre situation where someone was saved but brought back with amnesia, she was experiencing it for the first time and had no experience to draw upon.

She turned her gaze to Lu Jing, and her cold, clear voice sounded: "I will listen to you."

She directly handed over the decision-making power.

The pressure instantly converged entirely onto Lu Jing.
