Chapter 176 The Cold and Aloof Immortal's Darkened Daoist Partner 25
Yun Qing ate the dishes prepared by that chef again, and she was very satisfied. The chef finally decided to stay at Luoxue Peak.
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Yun Qing recalled Zong Yunze's mention of her past life and couldn't help but discuss with the system: "System, could you let me retain the memories of the small world?"
She had no recollection of the small world she had been in before, and hadn't thought much about it.
Now that Zong Yunze suddenly brought up their past life, she realized that she and Zong Yunze must have known each other in the previous small world.
After all, he's the male lead and she's the villainous female supporting character; it's impossible for them not to have any interaction.
They should have had interactions not only with the previous small world, but with all the previous small worlds.
Although the system gave her a reward before she entered the small world, saying that she had completed the task, she now has some doubts.
Didn't she develop anything with Zong Yunze before? Did she really complete the mission smoothly?
Why would the system make her lose her memories of the small world?
The system sighed inwardly. Why did you have to bring up your past life, Master? It's just dragging us down!
It could only advise, "Host, this is for your own good. I won't harm you."
[You can indeed retain the memories of this world, but Zong Yunze cannot. Although the male lead of the next world is still him, he will no longer be Zong Yunze and will not remember you. When you face his unfamiliar gaze and indifferent attitude, won't you feel sad?]
[Besides, the plot of the small world revolves around his unwavering love for the female lead. Are you sure you won't impulsively ruin your character and the plot? That would not only put you in danger, but it would also be detrimental to him in every way.]
For example, if you enter a small world and are immediately bombarded with a plot where the male protagonist has a drunken sexual misconduct and the female protagonist runs away pregnant, you definitely won't be able to sit still.
After hearing its words, Yun Qing hesitated.
Although she has amnesia and doesn't remember who she is, she still understands her own personality.
If she remembered her relationship with Zong Yunze, she would never have stood by and watched him get entangled with other women.
But if I don't remember, am I supposed to watch him and the female lead together in the next world, completely clueless?
The system quickly replied, "No, you have to believe him!"
[And have you considered, host, that someone as perceptive as him might realize in your next life, if you remember Zong Yunze, that you have feelings for someone else. Since you can't tell him about this life, you might end up in a tragic love story.]
After thinking for a moment, it added: "[The kind of torture that kills him.]"
Yun Qing: ...
"I'll think about it some more."
This matter was put on hold for the time being, and Yunqing focused her attention on cultivation. After all, Chu Yunqing's character was that of a cultivation fanatic, who was extremely hardworking and diligent.
Now that her body has recovered, it's time for her to focus on her cultivation.
The body that Zong Yunze sculpted for her was even more gifted than Chu Yunqing's body before the accident.
It was worth the trip he made to the perilous Immortal's Tomb to find materials to reconstruct her physical body.
Yun Qing manipulated her flying sword to carve ice sculptures, each one more exquisite than the last. Her control over the flying sword was visibly and steadily improving.
Zong Yunze looked at the ice sculptures and smiled. These were all his!
Just as he was carefully examining each ice sculpture, Yun Qing finished carving one and turned to look at him.
Seeing that he was watching intently, Yun Qing suddenly raised her hand, and the flying sword flew towards him with a sharp momentum.
There was a distance between the two, and the flying snowflakes were blown far away by the flying sword, but Zong Yunze seemed not to notice and continued to calmly examine the ice sculpture in front of him.
Lin Yao'er, who had wandered here in a daze, happened to see this scene. Her pupils shrank, and she exclaimed, "Master, be careful!"
As she shouted, she seemed to unleash her potential, and she ran over at lightning speed, blocking Zong Yunze in time, before being pierced through the shoulder by the flying sword.
Lin Yao'er's already pale face was now completely bloodless. She clutched her shoulder in pain and collapsed weakly.
According to the typical trope of a damsel in distress saving a hero, Zong Yunze should have reached out and caught her as she collapsed, reacting with shock, emotion, and grief...
To reiterate, "How could you be so foolish..."
But in fact, when Lin Yao'er ran over, Zong Yunze took two steps back.
I have no intention of reaching out to hug her now, nor do I feel any emotion or grief; I just feel inexplicably confused.
This disciple... seems to be a little mentally challenged.
Yun Qing was also full of questions. Was Zong Yunze really that weak in Lin Yao'er's eyes?
Could her sword even pierce his skin?
She ran over and pulled Zong Yunze back a bit, her expression serious as she asked, "Senior brother, is she trying to stage an accident?"
She had already witnessed Lin Yao'er's unreasonable and argumentative nature.
Why is she suddenly running into her sword?
If it was really to save Zong Yunze, then she's probably not very bright.
The handyman disciple who was following Lin Yao'er was dumbfounded. After regaining his senses, he couldn't help but panic.
Following Xiao He's instructions, he kept a close eye on Lin Yao'er to prevent her from causing trouble.
Lin Yao'er had been staying in her room in a daze, and no one really needed to pay attention to her. Then, she suddenly wanted to go outside, perhaps because she had been in her room for too long. She didn't respond when people talked to her.
He simply followed her, and seeing that she was just wandering aimlessly into secluded places, he didn't stop her.
Who knew we'd run into a Celestial Venerable right here!
Before he could react, Lin Yao'er suddenly rushed forward.
Although she was the one who got hurt, this still offended the Celestial Venerable!
She's really going to kill me.
In his panic, he immediately pulled out a communication talisman to call for help, "Senior Brother Xiao, Lin Yao'er has gotten into trouble!"
Yun Qing and Zong Yunze turned to look at him simultaneously.
Under their gazes, he felt like crying but couldn't. He cursed Lin Yao'er to death in his heart and hurriedly ran over to apologize.
Lin Yao'er lay weakly on the ground, her eyes fixed on Zong Yunze with lingering affection. After a long while, she finally managed to say with difficulty, "Master, don't hate me..."
Her weak and pitiful appearance would soften even the most hard-hearted person, let alone the fact that she had just risked her life for Zong Yunze.
However, it wasn't just Zong Yunze who remained unmoved.
The handyman disciple also wanted to roll his eyes at her.
Could she really believe she saved the Immortal Venerable's life? And she even took the opportunity to say something like, "Don't hate me."
She clearly made trouble for herself, deliberately creating a hole in herself, moving herself to tears, and now she wants the immortal to be moved along with her?
And he was implicated as well.
Are you sick?!
Xiao He and Wen Li rushed over and, after learning what had happened, Xiao He suppressed his anger and explained Lin Yao'er's situation to Zong Yunze.
He originally thought that given his master's current temperament, having just finished his seclusion with his master's wife, he wouldn't want to be disturbed by messy things, so he didn't report on Lin Yao'er's little matter for the time being.
Even Wen Li, who was eager to see his master's wife, was stopped by him.
Who knew that Lin Yao'er was such a troublemaker!
Everyone was watching her, yet she still managed to shield her master from a sword.
