Chapter 282 Welcoming His Excellency Back to the Palace
Yun Yao stood aside, coldly watching the four fierce-looking "ancient monsters" appear. They lazily stretched their bodies, and heavy, ancient roars echoed throughout the entire palace.
"You ants, how dare you disturb my rest! Kill! Show no mercy!" The one speaking was Qiongqi, and when it opened its mouth, a smell of decay that had lasted for ten thousand years emanated from it.
Yun Yao frowned, looking at the four beasts' disheveled appearance, she simply couldn't bear it any longer.
"Qiongqi, I told you to brush your teeth regularly. Since you didn't listen, don't blame me for throwing you into the Hunger Domain," Yun Yao said directly.
But after she finished speaking, the entire palace fell silent. The four ferocious beasts suddenly shuddered, their eyes seemingly brimming with tears.
Qiao Yunan turned to look at her, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Zhou Wan, you remember everything, right?"
Yun Yao never refers to herself as "this Venerable One" in public. If she needs to use official language, she prefers to use "this God." But just now, she subconsciously uttered the words "this Venerable One."
Yun Yao's expression was dazed for a moment, her gaze blank.
Seeing this, Qiao Yunan forced blood from between his fingers and flicked it directly at the brows of the four ferocious beasts.
A deafening roar resounded, shaking the entire hall. The four ferocious beasts before them, their previous docility vanished, replaced by ferocious expressions and bloodshot eyes, as if they had instantly reverted to their bestial nature.
But when they saw the woman in red in front of them, a deep fear gripped their souls, and they began to tremble. Finally... they all knelt down in the direction of the woman in red.
"Welcome back to the palace, Your Majesty."
To be honest, the four beasts were in a daze. They felt like they had slept for a long time, and when they opened their eyes, it was already the end of time. However, their inherent respect prevented them from being presumptuous.
With the blessing of the ancient ferocious beast's magic, countless fragments of memories appeared in Yun Yao's mind. She tried to remember something, but after several attempts, it was still in vain. The great pain made her kneel on the ground.
Qiao Yunan had prepared to make Yun Yao remember everything before he came, but seeing her in so much pain now, he still couldn't bear it.
He bent his knees slightly, knelt on one knee, and pulled the person in pain on the ground into his arms, gently patting her back.
"Zhou Wan, if you can't remember, then don't think about it." His voice was full of heartache.
Qiao Yunan is a ruthless person who doesn't care about feelings at all. You can see his heartlessness from the fact that he personally killed Lian Shen, who had been by his side for many years. But now, this high and mighty man is bowing down for a woman, and his voice is full of pity.
The hand stroking her back continuously channeled magical power, and Yun Yao's pale face gradually regained its color.
Qiao Yunan picked Yun Yao up and carried her towards the side hall.
He looked at the person on the bed with their brows tightly furrowed, and felt a sharp pain in his heart.
"Zhou Wan, I will make you remember everything, just wait a little longer." After saying that, Qiao Yunan gently stroked Yun Yao's cheek, his eyes filled with infatuation.
After Qiao Yunan returned to the main hall, the four ferocious beasts looked at him respectfully.
In their memories, besides the terrifying Venerable One, there was also the man before them. As the Venerable One's first protector, he held great power and could be considered the Venerable One's right-hand man.
"Guardian, what's wrong with His Majesty?" Taotie asked eagerly, shaking his head.
Qiao Yunan reserved all his tenderness for Yun Yao, but remained aloof and cold towards everyone else.
"Taotie, don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. You must guard the main hall until I return."
The four beasts wanted to ask something more, but Qiao Yunan's murderous aura silenced them all.
After Qiao Yunan left, Taotie plopped down on the ground.
"Why does it feel like I've slept for so long? Qiongqi, what time is it now?" Taotie asked.
"I don't know."
The four ferocious beasts stood atop the palace, each guarding one side.
“This is not the Dark Palace,” Taotie, who had been silent until now, said.
"I still remember when Your Majesty was forced to abdicate by the gods of the Nine Heavens, you led the Enforcement God away alone. What happened after that?" Chaos said in a low voice.
At this point, they have no memory of it.
"Someone's coming." Taotie licked its lips, its eyes full of excitement.
As soon as Taotie finished speaking, a stunningly beautiful face appeared. He paced back and forth at the entrance of the bamboo house for a few moments before leaving.
The four beasts who witnessed this scene trembled all over and almost fell off the roof.
"Was I just hallucinating?"
"He's just a Golden Core cultivator, Taotie. Where has your former courage gone? You're scorned by a mere mortal?" Qiongqi mocked.
"Qiongqi, if that's the case, then what was that all about just now? Could it be... that you slipped?"
The four ferocious beasts stared at each other, about to start a fight, but upon hearing a cough from the side hall, they all wilted and became as docile as kittens.
……
Little did they know that because of Yun Yao's disappearance, Su Yuchen nearly turned the capital upside down, and all the merchants in the capital were on edge.
He had previously tracked Yun Yao's aura to Shifang Mountain, but she disappeared after arriving there, along with the bamboo house.
For three whole days, he still couldn't find Yun Yao, not even a single word from her.
Xiao Xingyu returned to the film crew after three days in the hospital, but the female lead was missing, making it impossible to film the movie. Ma Chengan could no longer suppress the news, so he went to Su Yuchen's door, hoping that Su Yuchen would step in to refute the rumors.
Online rumors say that Yun Yao rose to fame by relying on men and used her connections to stir up trouble in the entertainment industry. Now, even Xiao Xingyu has been ruined by her. People are demanding an explanation from Yun Yao and that she be removed from the entertainment industry.
Su Yuchen has been neglecting Yanshi International lately, leaving the company to Mo Peichen and personally going out to find Yun Yao. As for these rumors, he has no choice but to leave them to Lin Daier and the others to handle.
But a week passed, and he still had no news of Yun Yao.
If Su Yuchen hadn't known she wouldn't leave without saying goodbye, he probably would have truly collapsed.
After a week apart, he had lost a lot of weight, and the light in his eyes had disappeared.
The media, taking things too seriously, even went directly to Tianzhu Huafu after Yonsei International failed to make a statement.
Su Yuchen locked himself in his study, trying to calm down and think about where Yun Yao might have gone, but the commotion outside the courtyard made him want to kill her.
Su Yuchen knew that Yun Yao was very powerful, but in his eyes, she was just a little girl who needed protection and love. At the critical moment, these people came to bother him. Su Yuchen stood in front of the window, his hands already gathering spiritual power.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the study door, pulling Su Yuchen back to reality.
Luo Hong received a call from Wuxiangxuan immediately after Yun Yao's accident. He had been buried in the library for several days and finally found some things that might be helpful. He couldn't explain it over the phone, so he went through several twists and turns to find this place.
As soon as he pushed open the door, he saw Su Yuchen, who exuded murderous intent.
“Su Yuchen, I know you’re anxious, but now is not the time to think about these things. I’ve found some clues that might help us find our ancestor.” Luo Hong took out several yellowed books.
