Chapter 281 It's always been him
The person being choked seemed to feel no pain at all, and slowly raised their hand to grab her wrist.
"Did you remember anything?" The voice that was asked was no longer Xiao Xingyu's; it was more familiar.
Yun Yao immediately remembered who the voice belonged to.
“Qiao, Yu, Nan?” Yun Yao said each word with boundless rage.
Yes, may I ask who else in this world possesses such a method that she herself could hardly detect? If it is Qiao Yunan, this powerful demonic cultivator, then everything makes sense.
In this life, Yun Yao could only misunderstand the hearts of two people: Su Yuchen and Qiao Yunan.
Yun Yao swung her hand back and struck "Xiao Xingyu" in the heart. In an instant, a dark shadow withdrew from Xiao Xingyu's body, revealing Qiao Yunan's face.
Looking at Qiao Yunan's devilishly handsome face, Yun Yao's eyes darkened slightly.
"What did you mean by what you just said? What should I remember?" Yun Yao stood with her hands behind her back, her red dress fluttering, exuding elegance.
Qiao Yunan glanced at the crowd outside the light barrier, who were blinded by the intense light. His eyes flickered, and a woman who looked exactly like Yun Yao appeared in the spot where they had just been standing.
After doing all this, he stepped forward, grabbed Yun Yao's wrist, and vanished from the spot in the blink of an eye.
At that moment, the light shield dissipated, and people outside rushed towards the unconscious Xiao Xingyu and "Yun Yao". The Xiao family took Xiao Xingyu away, and Lin Daier and Bai Li also took Yun Yao away from the film set immediately. The scene was chaotic, and Ma Chengan immediately restrained the media.
Su Yuchen was in a meeting when he received the news that Yun Yao was injured and unconscious. He rushed out of the meeting room before he could even say the words "the meeting is suspended".
But when he returned to Tianzhu Huafu, he stood by the bedside and refused to come closer.
Lin Dai'er and Bai Li stood by, their faces full of worry. Seeing Su Yuchen like this, they were furious.
"Our ancestor is in such a state, and you won't even come over. When she wakes up, I'll definitely tell her that this is the kind of person she carefully selected!" Lin Dai'er roared.
But Su Yuchen calmly took out a lighter and walked towards the bedside.
Just when Bai Li and Lin Dai'er thought Su Yuchen had finally had a change of heart, Su Yuchen grabbed "Yun Yao's" arm, slid the lighter open, and brought it close to her fingers.
"Su Yuchen, what are you doing!" Lin Dai'er was already preparing to attack Su Yuchen.
But the next second, something happened that shocked everyone.
The woman who should have been sleeping peacefully on the bed turned into ashes in an instant, leaving a human shape on the white sheets.
“This…” Lin Dai’er was speechless.
"She's not Wanwan. Where is Wanwan?" Su Yuchen asked in a deep voice.
Lin Dai'er's mind was completely blank; all she could do was shake her head.
Bai Li was much more composed than her, and she told Su Yuchen the whole story.
Upon hearing this, Su Yuchen's expression turned extremely unpleasant.
“President Su, our ancestor said that if one day we can’t contact her, we will all be at your beck and call,” Bai Li said resolutely.
When Bai Li looked up, Su Yuchen was nowhere to be seen; only Lin Dai'er, whose jaw was practically dropping to the ground, was there.
"What about people?"
"It just...it was gone in a flash," Lin Dai'er stammered.
"Gone?"
"Ah."
……
Meanwhile, Yun Yao was brought back to Shifang Mountain by Qiao Yunan, and they found the bamboo house without any problems.
The bamboo house is her temple, and for thousands of years, no one else has ever found it without her permission.
But now...
Yun Yao now had too many questions in her mind, and she had a vague feeling that the person in front of her might be able to give her an answer today.
"Qiao Yunan, you've known me for a long time, haven't you?" Although it was a question, Yun Yao said it with an extremely certain tone.
In this lifetime, every meeting between the two of them seemed to be intentional on his part, and now that I think about it, there are many suspicious points.
"Yes, we've known each other for a long time." His voice sounded somewhat forlorn.
Yun Yao's eyes flickered slightly. Even though she knew he had no reason to lie to her, she still had no memory of him whatsoever.
"You've touched my memories?" This was the only way Yun Yao could convince herself.
Qiao Yunan, however, gave a bitter smile and shook his head.
“You are the supreme god in this world, how could I possibly have the power to touch your memories?”
Seemingly aware of Yun Yao's question, Qiao Yunan continued, "It's just that I've been by your side in different identities in each of my lifetimes."
As Qiao Yunan's voice faded, a flood of memories suddenly rushed into Yun Yao's mind.
These are indeed her own memories, but in those memories, there is always a person who is completely invisible by her side.
Through countless reincarnations, his identity has changed a thousand times: he is a jade pendant by her side; a servant in her courtyard; a little rabbit she took home on a whim; a member of the Imperial Guard protecting the Grand Preceptor's mansion during the Qingyue Dynasty...
It turns out that he was the one who had been by her side all these ten thousand years.
Qiao Yunan?
Yun Yao remembered the name, and the seal deep within her soul gradually began to loosen.
In an instant, lightning flashed and thunder roared from all directions, dark clouds pressed down, and rolling blood-red lightning crackled down.
Yun Yao slowly raised her head, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"This...this is divine punishment?"
All things in the mortal world are governed by the Heavenly Dao. He is the only enforcer of the law in this world. Even though he offended Yun Yao several times, Yun Yao still turned a blind eye.
The reason is that Yun Yao knew from the beginning that even if she had the ability to kill the Heavenly Dao, she would have to sacrifice the entire mortal realm to make him pay.
The will of Heaven is her only constraint in this mortal realm.
Even so, this divine punishment had absolutely nothing to do with the Heavenly Dao.
Over the years, no matter how absurd Yun Yao was, divine punishment never came. But now, she only remembered some old stories and caused such a commotion.
Just as Yun Yao was about to lead Qiao Yunan away, she saw the person beside her exuding an evil aura, his imposing presence reaching straight to the heavens.
"Divine punishment, what a divine punishment!" Qiao Yunan raised his hand, and a huge black aura rushed into the sky.
The blood-red lightning seemed poised to strike Qiao Yunan at any moment.
In Yun Yao's memory, Qiao Yunan was always the one who put profit first, and she had never seen him lose his composure like this before.
"Qiao Yunan, are you crazy?" Yun Yao interrupted Qiao Yunan's spellcasting and grabbed his wrist, rushing into the bamboo house.
The bamboo house is a spatial artifact that has been with Yun Yao for ten thousand years. It is a world of its own, and even the most powerful divine punishment cannot penetrate it.
Upon Yun Yao's return, the ancient gate opened automatically, and a figure in red and a figure in black flashed in before the gate closed again.
Upon entering the palace, Yun Yao turned around and saw Qiao Yunan staring at her hand. Without hesitation, she decisively shook off his arm.
"Do you even know what divine punishment is? It's a punishment personally devised by the eternal sin god. You, a mere demon cultivator, dare to defy divine punishment? Are you tired of living?" Yun Yao coldly shouted.
Qiao Yunan's gaze did not fall on Yun Yao; instead, he began to examine the magnificent palace.
A moment later, his gaze fell on the ferocious beast chair on the steps.
"Taotie, Chaos, Taotie, Qiongqi, why aren't you getting out here right now?" Qiao Yunan's voice was like a thousand-year-old ice.
Yun Yao's gaze faltered slightly as she watched the ferocious beast chair, which obeyed only her commands, begin to transform into its true form.
The four ferocious beasts are like overlords in this space. Usually, only the gluttonous Taotie is willing to transform into its true form to hunt for food. The other three are too proud to come out at all.
But today, all of them have made a move?
