Chapter 181 The answer to my brother's problem is Yun Fuyu

It’s Xie Huaiyan.

The person who pulled him out of the water... was Xie Huaiyan.

Xie Huaiyan used his mental power to pat Yun Fuyu's hand, and at the same time stopped others who tried to stop the ceremony.

The principal's voice had faded away in my ears.

Until the enthusiastic applause from the audience ended, Yun Fuyu stood there, supported by the mental strength of the people around him, without moving.

The ceremony ended and the students dispersed.

But there are still many people waiting in the audience for Yun Fu Yu.

Yun Fuyu barely pulled himself out of his memories, regained some strength, and walked down the stairs shakily, but he almost missed a step after taking a few steps.

The other people's expressions changed and they hurriedly chased after him.

Zhou Bai rushed over and caught Yun Fuyu who almost missed his step.

His face was filled with extreme anxiety.

"What's going on?"

Yun Fuyu's lips turned pale and she held Zhou Bai's arm.

"I'm... fine. Just a little dizzy..."

Xie Huaiyan walked up to Yun Fuyu, took off the laurel wreath from his head without saying a word, and whispered:

"Let the principal keep the crown while we go get a physical checkup."

*

Finally, the teammates cautiously escorted Yun Fuyu to Xie Huaiyan's laboratory to check his mental strength.

I don’t know if it’s Yun Fu Yu’s illusion.

After taking the World Tree's crown, he felt...better.

From the moment I left the crown, the chaotic memories in my mind came to an abrupt end.

The memory has changed from the first perspective to the third perspective, and at least I am no longer so panicked emotionally.

It was obvious that the World Tree Crown had some effect on him.

......Why?

At dawn, the sea breeze was cool and the sky was already dimly lit.

There were many people there during the day, and at this moment when the main island was asleep, Yun Fuyu jumped down from the fifth floor without disturbing anyone, and went to Xie Huaiyan's laboratory alone again.

The door of the building without windows was closed.

Yun Fuyu walked up the stairs and pushed the metal door.

...not moving at all.

But the next second, there were suddenly a few clicks from the connection of the door, and the door lock was automatically unlocked.

The heavy door slowly opened a crack.

Yun Fuyu: “…”

Yun Fuyu walked into the door and closed it behind him.

The white light was bright, and cool air hummed from the ventilation system.

The sound of footsteps echoed in the empty hall.

The other person's footsteps were not concealed either.

When I reached the stairs, Xie Huaiyan happened to be standing at the corner of the stairs with a gentle smile on his face, dressed neatly.

Xie Huaiyan glanced at Yun Fuyu's pajamas.

"Xiaoyun. Why are you wearing slippers?"

Yun Fu Yu didn't sleep all night and looked depressed.

"You knew I would come."

Xie Huaiyan smiled.

"The laurel wreath won't do you any harm. After all... it's a branch of the World Tree."

Yun Fuyu followed Xie Huaiyan up the stairs, walked silently through the corridor, and headed to the familiar testing room.

Xie Huaiyan pushed open the door and motioned Yun Fuyu to go in first.

Yun Fuyu stopped at the door and stared at Xie Huaiyan's hand with her eyes lowered.

Xie Huaiyan's hands, with distinct joints and a cold, pale complexion, were a size larger than Yun Fuyu's. They looked exactly like the hands of a scholar.

But powerful enough.

Therefore, in Yun Fuyu's memory, he was able to hold Yun Fuyu's wrist tightly and firmly pull Yun Fuyu out of the heavy and dark water.

Yun Fu Yu's voice was very soft.

"You rescued me from a jar before."

Yun Fuyu was suspended in the cold liquid, looking around blankly. There was only silent darkness, gloomy and without light.

He was very scared at that time and wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to hide.

Just when Yun Fuyu was overwhelmed by fear and almost drowning, it was Xie Huaiyan who grabbed him and brought him to the surface of the cold water.

During the day, Yun Fuyu instinctively hid these memories, just like a little animal that couldn't help but raise its thorns when it remembered the memory of being hurt in childhood.

Until now, he finally couldn't help but want to say these things.

Xie Huaiyan paused where he was.

After a long time, he sighed softly.

"Actually, you saved me."

Two pairs of black eyes looked at each other.

Xie Huaiyan's eyes were like a book, all the beginnings, developments, turns and endings were skipped, and the pages were washed blank, leaving only unannotated emotions, spread out empty in front of Yun Fuyu.

This is a difficult problem that Yun Fuyu cannot solve.

He raised his hand and touched his heart, and felt the sad feeling in his memory reappear.

Xie Huaiyan took off his silver-rimmed glasses and put them in his coat pocket.

Xie Huaiyan does this every time before kissing, like a ritual.

So Yun Fuyu also knew what he wanted to do.

Xie Huaiyan leaned down, testing the scent of an animal like an animal, and slowly approached.

Their breaths intertwined. A cool kiss landed on the corner of her lips, near her chin, and then separated.

Without any desire, but like coaxing people.

Without the obstruction of his glasses, Yun Fuyu gazed straight into the cold, deep blackness. Emotions were like floating shards of ice, drifting and unpredictable.

Yun Fuyu suddenly understood.

The answer to the problem is just a kiss.

They were allies, and the covenant had been written long before Yun Fuyu could even remember.

So Yun Fuyu's eyelashes trembled, and she tacitly agreed to his approach.

After getting permission, Xie Huaiyan picked up Yun Fuyu face to face like a child. After weighing her, a smile finally appeared on his face.

"How much does Chief Xiaoyun remember?"

Yun Fuyu frowned slightly, and her long eyelashes drooped, covering her clear but confused eyes.

The thin and fragile feeling is more obvious in the slightly upturned corners of the eyes.

"We are all experimental subjects. Before... I was imprisoned in a base, and you would bring me candy."

Xie Huaiyan smiled and kissed Yun Fuyu's nose.

"Um."

Finally remembered.

Although it is not complete, but at least... Yun Fuyu finally remembered him.

Xie Huaiyan carried Yun Fuyu upstairs to his study.

This time, he did not forget to put a cushion on the large wooden table, and then put Yun Fu Yu on it.

After completing this series of actions, Xie Huaiyan moved closer to Yun Fuyu again, with his arms resting on Yun Fuyu's side.

"Once I remove the chip from you and completely free you from Mr. Zong's control, you will be free. ...If, I mean if, I want to escape from here with you and start a new life...will you agree?"

Yun Fuyu was stunned.

Xie Huaiyan looked very serious, not like he was joking.

Xie Huaiyan whispered, just like a gentle and seductive snake.

"Escape from here and find a new, free, and unconstrained identity. Come back in a few years and see your friends again."

Escape from what?

Yun Fuyu is a person from this world, not a person who traveled through the book.

But this world is in ruins. Yun Fuyu's friends and family members whom he has never met are all here. There is no way to escape.

He has people he wants to protect, things he wants to stop, and things he wants to save.

So, Yun Fuyu replied: "I want to finish solving these problems first."

Xie Huaiyan's eyes curved.

"I'll do these things for you. All those who have bullied you... I promise, I will make them receive the punishment they deserve. Once I've completed my revenge and dealt with everyone who needs to be dealt with, I'll come find you."

Revenge on the Xie family, revenge on Mr. Zong.

If it weren't for Yun Fuyu's special identity, Xie Huaiyan could have directly exposed the matter to the Seven Towers Council.

But it is precisely because of Yun Fuyu's identity that Xie Huaiyan has to be cautious in everything he does.

Mr. Zong took great pains to set up such a big scheme, intending to destroy the seven towers.

Xie Huaiyan doesn't want the Xie family to become the second main family, so he must deal with the internal affairs of the Xie family in advance and remove the innocent members of the Xie family.

What's more, there is the Holy See, whose stance and attitude are unclear.

Yun Fuyu's eyelashes trembled.

"You don't have to do it for me. I want to do it together."

Xie Huaiyan rested his forehead against Yun Fuyu's forehead. After a long time, he seemed to have anticipated the result, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

"Yes, yes, of course. I will definitely not be able to leave you in the future. Then promise me one thing. Before I... before we resolve the Xie family's affairs, don't contact the Church or the World Tree."

Yun Fuyu didn't say anything, and Xie Huaiyan moved closer.

He gently held the small piece of soft flesh in the middle of Yun Fuyu's lips, bit it, and licked the slightly cool lips with his lips and tongue, trying to pry open the hot fragrance.

Like a cold-blooded animal obsessed with hunting, he would hold his prey tightly, lick and taste it with his lips and tongue, and with his Adam's apple rolling, he would wish to swallow the person he likes directly into his stomach.

Yun Fuyu turned his head away, and Xie Huaiyan caught up with him again, his breath on his earlobe, and whispered:

"Promise me. Don't you like your brother anymore?"

Yun Fuyu's eyes widened in bewilderment: "...What are you talking about?"

Xie Huaiyan smiled and moved closer to her pale pink lips relentlessly.

"You said that when you were little."

The slightly cool thin lips touched and tentatively pried open.

Yun Fuyu's thin eyelids were flushed, her eyelashes trembled, and her thin lips and pointed chin, which were sucked, were all wet and red.

He wanted to push Xie Huaiyan away, but his wrist was grabbed again.

His fingertips traced the delicate palm, moving downward until his ten fingers were interlocked.

After holding it, every inch of the slightly cool fingertips carefully caressed the slender fingers, the fingertips gently scratched the sensitive sides and finger joints, and kneaded the soft and boneless palms.

The thumb climbs up along the palm of the hand, holds the wrist, and strokes the delicate skin on the inside of the wrist.

When Yun Fuyu was forced to escape, they quickly slowed down their attack and instead clasped their fingers together tenderly, trying to soothe and confuse the prey and prevent him from escaping.

It hardly felt like a handshake, but rather like some deeper offense.

......

Although Xie Huaiyan's behavior can be considered unreasonable, his reasons are well-founded.

For example, Mr. Zong may want to locate the Holy See through Yun Fuyu, but the Holy See may not be trustworthy.

He did not tell Yun Fuyu his true thoughts.

If Mr. Zong has the ability to control the Son of God—who can guarantee that the Holy See doesn’t?

What Xie Huaiyan wanted was for Yun Fuyu to live freely, instead of sending him into a tiger's mouth and from one cage to another.

In the end, Yun Fuyu agreed to the condition of not contacting the World Tree and the Holy See for the time being.

*

Late at night, Yun Fuyu sat at his desk, organizing his thoughts.

The Zong family is Adrian's mother's family.

Fifteen years ago, the Zong family was implicated in the disappearance of the Holy Son and suffered a major purge.

Since then, the Yunya Tower under the jurisdiction of the Zong family has been divided into several parts, each of which has been incorporated into other jurisdictions.

Only the area belonging to the Fenrir family still retains the name of Cloud Cliff Tower.

"Mr. Zong" escaped the Zong family incident.

After escaping, he relied on the Xie family and secretly conducted human experiments.

Yun Fuyu and Xie Huaiyan were two of the experimental subjects.

Two years ago, Mr. Zong took Yun Fuyu away from the Xie family and disappeared for unknown reasons.

A year and a half ago, Yun Fuyu, who had lost all her memories, woke up in the suburbs with a dead person beside her.

But with the help of a chip disguised as a system, Yun Fuyu successfully escaped the pursuit and was admitted to the First Military Academy.

Half a year ago, Yun Fuyu was hunted by the Xie family during a joint military exercise.

And today, Yun Fuyu recalled some of her memories about Xie Huaiyan for the first time.

......

Yun Fuyu looked at the network of relationships and always felt that there was a key gap missing.

Where did the Son of God go?

*

That night, Yun Fuyu had a nightmare.

The world was desolate and vast. He was standing on a high cliff, looking out at the vast plain in the distance.

On the plains, the earth was dry and cracked, without any grass or living thing.

Except for the giant tree in the center of the field of vision.

It reaches up to the sky and down to the end of the earth. Its branches are as dry and rotten as iron, cutting through the sky in an extremely shocking way.

Like a dead monument, it records the disaster of the past.

This is... the World Tree.

The withered world tree.

Yun Fuyu looked up at the World Tree in a daze.

The world was engulfed in immense sadness and confusion, and the crystal rain slowly floated up into the sky.

Following the direction it flew, Yun Fuyu saw a very high place at the top of the World Tree, perhaps tens of millions of meters above the ground.

There are still green leaves remaining.

He felt the emotion of fear—from the World Tree.

The World Tree was no longer a reliable refuge, slowly being devoured by pollution. Black sludge spread relentlessly upward from the roots, gnawing at the trunk and tearing at the branches, attempting to sap the World Tree's vitality.

The World Tree is asking Yun Fuyu for help.

But Yun Fu Yu could do nothing.

He could only helplessly watch as the green leaves emitting a white glow slowly dimmed, and black spread up the branches, swallowing up the last trace of green.

After the pollution engulfed the World Tree, the sky and the earth suddenly became dark.

Everything turned black, and the broken and withered branches of the World Tree stood desolately between heaven and earth.

it's all over.

*

Yun Fuyu woke up from her dream.

He stared blankly at the ceiling, his chest empty but still filled with lingering fear.

But...what did he dream about just now?

*

Second Nightmare

Yun Fuyu knew that he was dreaming and remembered his last dream.

However, the memory in reality is covered with a layer of mist.

This time, he still stood on the high cliff, looking at the giant tree of the world on the plain.

The treetops are lush and verdant, and are surrounded by dots of white light, standing like an unwavering beacon of life in the dim wasteland.

This time, the earth was not desolate.

Countless creatures walked on the plains, as if worshipping, towards the World Tree.

But further away, a black line on the horizon was like a wave, rapidly approaching the World Tree, carrying the fear of pollution and death.

So life was filled with fear and rushed towards the World Tree in a hurry.

This is an escape, not a migration.

Yun Fuyu stared blankly at the polluted black fog that was getting closer and closer, becoming more and more ferocious.

He turned around.

The mutant has already pounced upon us.

......

it hurts.

......it hurts!

Yun Fuyu woke up with a sweat on his forehead and subconsciously touched the side of his leg——

But...why did he do this?

Yun Fuyu's chest heaved as he stared blankly at his legs which looked normal.

What did he dream about just now?
