Chapter 236: First Release She couldn't see Song Linsheng again. ...
After these words were spoken, the Wutong Ancestral Temple, which had been silent to begin with, became even colder and harder.
Wen Yu hugged her knees with one hand and held the half persimmon that she had not finished eating with the other hand. Her eyes moved around uncertainly, but she could never find a correct location.
Yu Chang lowered his eyes and could only see her long black hair falling like brocade. He really wanted to know the answer, but did not urge Yu Wenyu.
A breeze blew through the hall and over the threshold, gently lifting the ends of her hair by her ears. Wen Yu felt a wave of itchiness rising from her cheeks, making her upset and unable to calm down.
Doesn’t she… want Song Linsheng to come to her?
Wen Yu frowned, and the answer seemed to be about to come out.
But she was unwilling to say it out loud.
Unwilling and afraid.
There were some things she hadn't investigated clearly yet. She wanted to go back to the East Heavenly Palace to see what happened to Song Linsheng's life branch, and then ask her master, or Chi Huang, if Song Linsheng's life branch would die out faster if things continued like this...
Before that, she... was afraid that she would never see Song Linsheng again.
Wen Yu's heart twitched, and after a brief moment of unconsciousness, she gently raised her sleeve to touch her chest -
It's a very strange feeling.
It seems like it has never happened before.
The fingertips slowly curled up, Wen Yu's mind turned, and suddenly he stopped worrying.
What would happen if she wanted to or not?
Yu Chang is a monster with profound cultivation and unfathomable abilities, so it is not surprising that he can find her by following her breath, and this is also within her expectations.
But Song Linsheng...
Wen Yu's eyelashes trembled, and she couldn't tell whether she felt more relieved or disappointed.
Song Linsheng is just a mortal. How can he find her when she is hiding in the Wutong Ancestral Temple?
What's more, at the foot of Houchun Mountain, there is a maze she set up with her own hands...
Wen Yu blinked anxiously. If she really wanted to see Song Linsheng, shouldn't she remove the maze first?
No, she couldn't see Song Linsheng again.
With her healing skills, Song Linsheng should have gotten better immediately, but he was in a coma for several days before waking up, which was enough to show how dangerous the situation was.
If I see her again now, what should I do if something happens again?
Thinking of this, Wen Yu's shoulders and neck shrank, and she felt the twitching in her heart became more and more obvious, which she could not ignore. She couldn't even stand up straight, and the only way to feel better was to bend over slightly.
Yu Chang remained silent. Even if Wen Yu didn't answer, he would just wait quietly and not disturb her.
But when Wen Yu shrugged, he immediately squatted down and pinched Wen Yu's wrist with one hand, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Without waiting for Wen Yu to reply, Yu Chang exerted all his demonic power and combed the spiritual veins around Wen Yu from top to bottom.
The spiritual power is weak and the sea of consciousness is superficial.
"Do you know that you gave Song Linsheng so much spiritual energy that the magnolia in his yard was forced to bloom by you?"
"And what about you? You only have less than 20% left?"
"If you're willing to be beaten back to your original form, just tell me directly. I can still give you a ride."
Yu Chang was out of character, no longer as frugal and taciturn as before, but instead spoke a lot of words in a row without stopping.
He didn't even leave Wen Yu the slightest room to refute.
The latter looked at Yu Chang who was so close to him with his eyes wide open.
Yu Chang's eyebrows and eyes were deep and three-dimensional. When he kept silent, he seemed to be covered with a thin layer of frost. But at this moment, his constant nagging seemed to make the frost gradually melt away, and his whole person became lively.
Is the magnolia tree in Song Linsheng's courtyard...blooming?
Wen Yu forgot to refute for a moment. After all, it was rare to see Yu Chang like this.
Yu Chang glanced at Wen Yu coldly, then turned his wrist, spread out her stiff palm, and then interlocked his fingers with his.
For some reason, at that moment, Yu Chang's face became hot and he immediately closed his eyes.
Wen Yu is always like this, disturbing his mind unintentionally.
The scorching warmth surged into his palms, and Yu Chang's demonic power seemed to be more turbulent and more agitated than the time before under the Yuan River.
What followed was the feeling of the body being filled with abundant spiritual energy, and the whole person suddenly became light and comfortable.
Although she was not afraid of losing her spiritual power for Song Linsheng, Yu Chang's powerful strength was indeed tempting, and Wen Yu could not help but tighten her fingertips.
But in just a moment, Wen Yu struggled to withdraw his hand.
"Are you okay like this?"
Wen Yu asked cautiously, feeling a little reluctant when she saw Yu Chang with his eyes closed.
How is he any different from her in clearing her spiritual meridians without caring about anything else?
Yu Chang’s demonic power wasn’t something he picked up for free on the street.
Thinking of this, Wen Yu struggled even harder to break free. After all, this was the Wutong Ancestral Temple, and with the protection of her master, she would be fine even if her spiritual power was low.
At worst, she could just lie down for a few more days and eat more incense in the temple.
But Yu Chang was different. He had no one to rely on, and he had never heard of any master. He never talked about his origins. If he lost his powerful demonic power, who knows what kind of trouble would happen.
After all, behind the prosperity and stability of the human world, the demon world is another world.
Although she had never come into contact with it, she could imagine it.
"Don't move." Yu Chang suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes as deep as the sea stared at Wen Yu, as if he wanted to see the person in front of him more carefully and clearly.
He became that intransigent person again.
Wen Yu's neck shrank, and she wanted to speak out in rebuttal, but under Yu Chang's gaze, she fell silent inexplicably.
——I really owed him in my previous life.
Sometimes, she really felt that Yu Chang was more terrifying than her master.
Yu Chang clenched his palms tightly and mobilized his own demonic power without any scruples, not caring about Wen Yu's worries at all.
After taking off the Ding Yuan Lock, his magic power was no longer restricted. He was no longer the person whose movements were restricted. And she...
Yu Chang looked at Wen Yu in front of him with a complicated expression. His rippling eyes were both clear and dull, no longer the same as before.
He couldn't help but subconsciously close his fingertips.
Her hands were very slender and soft. When he held them in his hands, it seemed that if he was not careful, he would lose them, so he always wanted to hold them tighter.
Yu Chang's eyes darkened, unlike before, but he was willing.
Hatred and resentment, anger and hatred, are all based on the premise that Wen Yu is in good health and has no worries every year. If Wen Yu has any mishap, who will he turn to to settle the old scores?
The words Zhou Lehui said at that time rolled back and forth in Yu Chang's ears, like an impenetrable spell. Yu Chang shook his head gently, driving away those chaotic thoughts from his mind.
He was definitely not blinded by love or affection, he just wanted to protect Wen Yu first and settle the score later.
As if he had finally convinced himself, a smile appeared on Yu Chang's lips, but it was extremely subtle and fleeting, making it difficult to notice.
Wen Yu shrank her head and looked at Yu Chang's face without saying a word. The expression on his face could be described as ice-cold, and suddenly she couldn't help but be naughty.
"Thank you... Yingying."
After saying this, Wen Yu was clearly feeling extremely guilty, but she still insisted on holding her neck high and not backing down. This was her way of livening up the atmosphere.
But immediately afterwards, the aura around Yu Chang suddenly dropped several degrees.
The Wutong Ancestral Temple, which was originally filled with the autumn heat, was suddenly invaded by the cold air of ice and snow, and the biting winter wind blew against Wen Yu's back without mercy.
Yu Chang closed his eyes. He shouldn't appear in front of Wen Yu in the form of a woman, and he shouldn't do anything like Wen Yu.
Originally, he just thought that having a suitable identity would help him stay with Wen Yu better, but now, he finds it difficult to escape, and he doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.
"Thank you, Yu Chang." Wen Yu was tactful after all, and quickly changed her words before Yu Chang got angry.
Then she sat up straight, stared into Yu Chang's eyes seriously, and said word by word: "I was just teasing you, but I really mean it."
Yu Chang lowered his eyes, and beneath his calm and cold eyes was a hidden turbulent sea. He tried his best to suppress his awkwardness and nervousness, and wanted to speak to Wen Yu in the most normal manner.
She had just told him—
sincere.
Yu Chang's eyes slid to the hand he and Wen Yu were holding. Somehow, the demonic power there seemed to surge even more, rushing into Wen Yu's body, with a tendency to be out of control.
Her spiritual power has almost recovered, and her sea of consciousness has also become much fuller.
Yu Chang's palm retreated slightly, but he was too slow to let go.
"I know." Yu Chang lowered his voice and answered in a hoarse voice.
Wen Yu nodded, secretly glad that Yu Chang was not angry, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the latter.
But before she could say more, Yu Chang suddenly let go and stood up, his cold brows and eyes as if the slightest emotion just now had never existed.
Wen Yu was surprised and couldn't help but look up. Yu Chang's tall figure cast a shadow in front of her, but he didn't look down on her at all.
"I'll go first." Yu Chang lowered his eyes and looked at Wen Yu steadily, saying in a cold voice, with a restrained tone that was somewhat stiff.
As if in the moment of standing up, Yu Chang concealed all his previous thoughts, and in the blink of an eye he returned to his usual cold, inviolable and arrogant self.
Wen Yu blinked, a little stunned, and could only ask confusedly, "What?"
Yu Chang glanced outwards, and after a moment's hesitation, he finally answered, "Someone... is coming."
The courtyard was deserted with only the sound of the wind, and the tightly closed door made it impossible to see the scenery outside.
He didn't lie, someone really came.
Wen Yu also turned her head and looked out the doorway, but she saw nothing. After all, she was weak and couldn't see what was happening at a greater distance.
But since Yu Chang said so, it must be true.
Wen Yu hurriedly got up, climbed up from the mat, and stood beside Yu Chang.
Yu Chang looked outside the hall with a complicated look. After a rustling sound, he turned around and saw Wen Yu beside him.
"What kind of method do you use to break the formation?" Yu Chang's eyes darkened and he asked casually.
Anyone could actually break in. He put aside the little shepherd boy just now, but now even...
"Ah? I, I..." Wen Yu felt his face flushed, and his eyes darted around, "It's not that I lack spiritual power..."
She didn't think too much about it and knew that Yu Chang was talking about someone passing through the formation.
Wen Yu couldn't help but tap her palms. This was not what she had expected. She didn't expect that the maze she set up when her spiritual power was insufficient would be broken like a fishing net, with holes everywhere.
"So...what should we do now?" Wen Yu looked up, glancing at Yu Chang's expression from time to time.
Yu Chang turned around and looked down at Wen Yu. He was suddenly in a good mood, and even the corners of his lips, which were usually straight, couldn't help but curl up.
What should I do? This is what she wants to ask, not that he should intervene inexplicably.
"How about hiding?"
"hide?"
Where to hide?
Wen Yu glanced around, then pushed Yu Chang a few steps out of the hall, looked around, and then cast his eyes on the fence in the center of the courtyard -
That was where her roots were.
Now that it is empty, it is a perfect place to hide. Anyway, no one has been to the Wutong Ancestral Temple for a long time. If there is something more in this courtyard, no one will probably notice it.
"Alright! Let's hide!"
Wen Yu winked at Yu Chang, and then snapped his right fingers. He leaned forward and turned into a green beam of light, heading towards the center of the fence.
In just a moment, a green phoenix tree rose from the ground in the middle of the originally empty fence.
Its sudden appearance did not make the courtyard look out of place at all. Instead, it seemed as if it had always been there, making the entire Wutong Ancestral Temple even more lush and green.
Yu Chang raised his head slightly and looked carefully at every treetop and branch in front of him.
When the wind blows, the blue waves ripple.
Clouds passed by, and sunlight fell through the gaps between leaves, spreading across Yu Chang's face. The occasional golden light jumped, making him feel a little dazed.
Is this Wen Yu’s original body?
His memory suddenly pulled him back to a long time ago, placing him in an endless wilderness. He described it inch by inch, trying to find some clues about Wen Yu's past.
Yu Chang's body stiffened, and he was stunned. He seemed to have never known Wen Yu's true identity before.
He suddenly took two steps back, looked at Wen Yu from afar, and tried to move forward but ultimately did not dare to stop.
A quick glance tens of millions of years ago was not enough for him to know Wen Yu's...true identity.
"Yu Chang—" Wen Yu shook the leaves, making a rustling sound. "What are you standing there for? Find a place to hide!"
Yu Chang woke up as if from a dream. He raised his head and hurriedly walked to Wen Yu, and hesitantly touched Wen Yu's tree trunk.
A mottled and rough feeling comes from the fingertips, and every line seems to tell the hardships of thousands of years of wind and frost.
"My name is Wenyu. If you want revenge, just come find me."
Penetrating the years and spanning time, the distant voice knocked on Yu Chang's heart. The strange yet familiar feeling made him feel excited.
Yu Chang was in great confusion. The voices that kept echoing in his mind made it difficult for him to distinguish between illusion and reality, and even more difficult to distinguish between the past and the present.
He suddenly withdrew his hand, took a few steps back, and turned away without looking back.
"You stay here. I'll go ahead."
After saying this, without waiting for Wen Yu to respond, the dark figure disappeared.
The autumn wind blows continuously in the courtyard, and the rustling sound on the green parasol trees is difficult to stop.
Wen Yu curled up in the tree trunk, gently hugging her knees. Yu Chang's departure made her calm down again.
Even though people come and go, she is the only one left in the Wutong Ancestral Temple.
Wen Yu buried her head and listened to the flowing clouds and breeze by her ears. Occasionally, the sound of birds chirped, making her feel as if she had returned to the time when she was peacefully living as a tree in the Wutong Ancestral Temple.
At that time, the Wutong Ancestral Temple was filled with pilgrims coming and going to worship the Goddess of Spring, children praying to her, civet cats lying on the wall, and rabbit spirits chatting with her...
And Master...
Wen Yu thought of the little shepherd boy who had just broken into the palace, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Why not Master?
Master...where are you...
She had gotten into trouble and almost killed Song Linsheng. What should she do...
Master, what should I do?
A muffled sound suddenly arose, scattering Wen Yu's chaotic thoughts. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw the heavy door of the Wutong Ancestral Hall slowly moving -
Endless morning light, wrapped in greenery, rushed in from the crack of the door, and a figure gradually became clear in the golden and white halo.
The face was still a little blurry, but the frost-colored robe was the first thing that caught my eye...
Wen Yu couldn't help but squint her eyes in a trance. Could it be that she was hallucinating due to the loss of spiritual power?
That person is...Song Linsheng?
