He walked to the passenger seat and gently opened the door for Su Wanwan. He smiled like a gentleman and whispered, "Watch your step."
Su Wanwan blushed slightly and put her hand on his, moving it carefully as if she were holding a treasure.
The two were walking side by side towards the gate of Su's residence, and there seemed to be a soft light in the air.
"roar!"
An unknown beast suddenly jumped out from the shadows somewhere. It was gray and black all over, like a wolf or a tiger, with blood-red and violent eyes. It opened its mouth and pounced towards Su Wanwan.
Nan Xingchen's eyes changed, and he instantly stood in front of Su Wanwan, raised his hands and used his body to block the beast's attack!
"laugh!"
The strange beast bit deeply into his left arm with its teeth, and the poison instantly infected him, and the purple-black veins spread rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Xingchen!" Su Wanwan screamed and rushed over to support his shaky body.
Nan Xingchen collapsed in her arms, but the corners of his lips managed to pull out a gentle arc, his voice low and hoarse but full of affection: "Wanwan... Fortunately, you are okay..."
At that moment, he was like a defeated hero, but still remembered to protect his beloved.
The picture is poignant.
Not far behind, the crowd who witnessed the whole process:
Xin Jifeng rolled his eyes: "Damn, this white lotus is even playing the 'hero saving the beauty' role! How clichéd."
Wen Wushang had a blank expression on his face: "It's a self-torture tactic. It's low-level and shameless."
Su Ziyu sneered: "Sister, he is waiting for you to rescue him."
Su Yao looked ahead calmly, her purple eyes calm and her tone as calm as clear autumn water: "No matter how he acts, his character will always collapse."
Su Wanwan was already in tears. She hugged Nan Xingchen tightly and refused to let go. Her cries were like beads falling off a string: "Cousin! I beg you... please save him! Xingchen has been poisoned... He must not die!!"
Su Wentian frowned and calmly commented, "Mommy, Nan Xingchen guessed you were going to expose his fake mask, so he pretended to be affectionate and played the emotional card."
Bai Ze looked indifferent: "Master, don't save him, just wait and see how he continues to act."
"He is so boring." Zhu Yan watched coldly.
During the discussion, Nan Xingchen's face was as pale as paper and he looked extremely weak.
Su Yao didn't move, but just looked at him quietly, his eyes as deep as the faint light at the bottom of the abyss.
She was waiting for him to actually reveal his flaws, not just his acting.
"Xingchen! Xingchen!!" Su Wanwan's crying has not stopped yet.
Su Wentian looked up at Su Yao and asked softly, "Mommy, why don't you give him the antidote and let him continue acting?"
Su Wanwan choked up and said, "Cousin... please save him quickly... I can't save him, I don't know how to cure his poison..."
Finally, Su Yao gave Su Wentian an antidote pill, her purple eyes indifferent: "Let him continue acting."
…
That night, in a cold and dark abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of Yaocheng.
There was no light, no human voice, only the smell of rust and blood mixed in the humid air.
A man in black clothes and a silver-striped mask was half-kneeling on the ground, holding a bone-cutting knife that gleamed coldly in his hand, and was concentrating on dissecting a lifeless male corpse.
Blood flowed along the floor and body parts were stacked in an orderly manner, as if he was fiddling with a work of art.
Just as he finished cutting his left arm and stood up to wipe the handle of the knife, a graceful figure slowly walked out from the shadows in the corner.
Su Yao's figure was like a shadow following the wind, his purple eyes were as calm as water, he threw out a document in his hand and dropped it at his feet with a snap.
"This man raped and murdered nine children over the course of three years," Su Yao said coldly. "Each time, he dismembered the bodies and dumped them in the river. The police have never been able to catch him."
The masked man turned around and smiled faintly: "So I just gave him a taste of his own medicine."
He kicked the body parts and said, "Dismembering the body is the greatest respect I can give him."
Su Yao didn't show any extra emotion, just looked at him quietly.
"Are you imitating him?" she said in a cold voice.
"It's not an imitation, it's a salvation." The masked man looked up and said gently, "I completed the ritual he was most familiar with before his death. I let him know that this time, he himself would become the sacrifice."
Su Yao lowered his head, his eyes as cold as ice: "Don't forget who you are."
He smiled: "Su Yao, do you still remember who I am?"
"Nan Xingchen. I was the one who gave you the name back then."
"So what... In the end, you still threw me away like a worn-out shoe."
Purple eyes darkened as he asked, "How did you escape the seal?"
The man's inky black eyes blinked, and the surrounding environment changed in an instant...
The space around Su Yao suddenly twisted, as if invisible water waves were enveloping her.
The world before my eyes suddenly collapsed.
When I opened my eyes again, the world had changed.
She stood on a vast expanse of water, with no mountains or trees, no shores or wind around her, only water.
The water is so deep that you can't see the bottom. The sky and the sea merge into one, and even the sound seems to be swallowed up.
"Illusion?" Su Yao's tone was calm and his eyes were cold.
In the distance, a familiar aura emerged.
"Su Yao." Nan Xingchen's voice slowly emerged from beneath the water, with an unfathomable tenderness: "This is a cage tailor-made for you."
"You're always too calm and too strong. Why don't you try for once... powerless?"
Su Yao did not move, his purple eyes slightly gloomy.
"You think you can trap me like this?"
Nan Xingchen's voice was as deep as rippling water: "I won't trap your body, I will only trap your obsession."
Her gaze fell upon the boundless water, where countless familiar faces slowly emerged… her mother Yun Feiyan, her brother Su Ziyu, her son Su Wentian, her father Su Zhenghe, Qingcheng, Bai Ze, Zhu Yan, Xuanming, Liu Yuting, Fubao…
Every face is filled with pain and desolation.
"Su Yao." Nan Xingchen murmured softly, "Can you protect everyone?"
His purple eyes were distant and peaceful. After a few breaths of silence, he sighed softly, "Back then, I spent half my blood to save you, but you ended up hating me."
His voice was sullen. "Yes! You brought me back to life... and because of that, you became the Free and Easy Divine Lord."
"But what about me?! I became an immortal monster... You even started to dislike me and finally sealed me in the dark and gloomy Dead Sea for a thousand years!!"
"Su Yao, you have such a cruel heart...ruthless and cold-blooded."
Su Yao had a blank expression on his face: "Why don't you mention the reason why I sealed you?"
"You kept sucking the blood of innocent children and girls. When hundreds of mummified corpses were discovered, I realized what kind of monster I had saved."
The man's laughter was cold and eerie: "Do you regret saving me?"
