Emperor Yan could have used many methods to better protect Song Mengmeng, but he chose this relatively cruel one simply because of Zhao Yunlu's self-destructive provocation.
For Zhao Yunlu, puppetry, a technique that is quite popular in the Sawasdee Kingdom of Southeast Asia and which he is most skilled at, is now being used against him in the best way possible—to fight fire with fire!
It was very damaging and extremely insulting!
At this point, saying that Zhao Yunlu is alive is just a way of saying he's not.
It's just that the Yama Emperor used magic to imprison his soul in this body, preventing it from leaving!
He could still feel the various pains caused by the damage to his body, like a persistent nightmare that followed him everywhere.
The torment of the past few days had extinguished any hope of resistance for Zhao Yunlu. All he wanted now was to end this endless, unbearable torture and be given a quick death.
However, it is clear that the King of Hell had no such intention.
Yan Di stood in front of Zhao Yunlu, scrutinized him for a while, and then raised his hand to begin carving talismans on his bones. As he worked, he spoke softly and gently, as if Zhao Yunlu was unaware, explaining to him, "Although your aptitude for cultivation is not good, after all these years of struggling, you are only at a mediocre level."
However, it is also because of the evil deeds you have committed over the years that your skeleton has become the best place to seal away evil spirits!
I want you to protect Mengmeng's safety until the moment your soul is consumed by fire!
This is the meaning and value of you continuing to exist in this skeleton!
I know you're not happy about it, but when you were enslaving others before, you didn't ask them if they were willing!
Alright, if you want to be free sooner, then look forward to that blind bastard making his move soon! Maybe after a few more uses, you'll be able to satisfy your urges and be completely obliterated!
Zhao Yunlu stared wide-eyed, his eyes filled with pleading and despair, a sight that moved almost everyone who saw him. It was just a pity that the person he encountered was the King of Hell.
After slowly finishing everything, Yan Di turned around and looked at Gu Qi, who was waiting on the side watching him act as a puppet with great interest: "That person has appeared again."
"Who?" Gu Qi was a little slow to catch up with Yan Di's change of topic. He blinked and watched Yan Di slowly wash his fingers. He thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out who Yan Di was talking about.
"You live such a carefree life, so quickly you've already forgotten about almost becoming someone else's battle pet?!" Yan Di picked up a towel from the shelf to wipe his hands, while rudely reopening Gu Qi's wounds.
He and Gu Qi met by chance.
Although Gu Qi was a Qiongqi, he was suppressed by the Heavenly Dao to the point of being unable to breathe after arriving in this world.
When he met Qiongqi, it was at the peak of his dark history—he almost let a sorcerer from Sawadika subdue him and make him his battle pet!
Since they were all ferocious beasts, the Yama Emperor couldn't bear to see his familiar tribe end up like that, so he intervened and saved him!
As it turned out, the sorcerer was quite capable and managed to escape!
Originally, he was indifferent to the matter, and the King of Hell felt that it was enough that he had saved Qiongqi's life, so there was no reason for him to help this fool take revenge.
However, after a short period of peace, the sorcerer he thought had died of old age suddenly reappeared!
This time, however, his target was Mengmeng!
This was something he couldn't tolerate!
"It's been...almost a century, hasn't it?! That old bastard is still alive?!"
Gu Qi's expression changed instantly!
He would never forget such an insult!
However, he was thinking that the old bastard looked seriously injured at that time. Even if he escaped back, no matter how powerful that person was, he was still just a human being!
By the time he recovered from his injuries and came out, decades had passed.
For him, decades are but a blink of an eye, but for a human being, they would probably have already been reincarnated long ago!
Therefore, he stopped thinking about revenge!
But to his surprise, the King of Hell is now telling him that that old bastard is still alive!
"You said it yourself, he's an old bastard, how could he die so easily?!" Yan Di sneered, "I'm just reminding you to be careful lately, you have a history of being caught before!"
We've fallen for their trick again!
"That's enough!" Gu Qi was so angry that he jumped up and down. He ground his back teeth and glared at Yan Di, swearing through gritted teeth, "You watch, if I don't kill him this time, I'll write my name Qiongqi backwards from now on!"
"Actually, it's quite suitable." Yan Di, who had already reached the stairs, stopped when he heard Gu Qi's oath. He turned around and looked at him strangely before calmly summarizing.
"What do you mean, 'quite'..." Gu Qi was initially a little confused, but after he realized what was happening, he was immediately furious again—
Qiongqi, Qiqiqi...
Is that bastard Yama Emperor subtly criticizing him?!
Was he poor? Yes, he was poorer than Yama, but compared to others, was he really that poor?!
That's absolutely outrageous!
That's outrageous!
Yan Di didn't pay attention to Gu Qi's irritable mutterings and complaints behind him. He had finished what he needed to do and didn't need to return to this villa anymore. According to the previous arrangement, all traces of this place would be erased soon, and it would be put up for sale after a while!
He returned to the hotel, and as he entered, he saw Song Mengmeng holding her phone, frowning and looking at the contents with a serious expression.
He didn't even notice the business he was doing, when he opened the door to greet her.
"What's wrong?!" Yan Di tossed aside the suit jacket draped over his wrist, came over and sat down next to Song Mengmeng, habitually pulling the little one into his arms: "Did someone bully you?!"
"It wasn't me, it seems like something happened to Anna!" Song Mengmeng wasn't angry at being moved around in Yan Di's arms. Instead, she familiarly found a comfortable position to snuggle in his arms, then held up her phone so that Yan Di could check the contents with her: "What's being said here is really awful!"
After hearing Song Mengmeng's words, Yan Di lowered his head slightly and glanced at the content on the screen.
It's nothing more than a third party interfering, a gold digger, and someone climbing the social ladder by relying on a sugar daddy.
Moreover, there were accompanying pictures as evidence, showing that they were well-prepared and their aim was to smear Yao Anna!
With such supposed solid evidence, it's no wonder that online trolls are jumping in! With this frenzied hype, it's no wonder the trending topics on Weibo are exploding!
