Chapter 245 Such a monster
Yun Yao glanced at Su Yuchen secretly, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up.
Several lifetimes? That's not wrong at all.
However, Su Yuchen felt a dull pain in his heart after hearing Wu You's words.
Seeing Yun Yao looking at him, he hurriedly suppressed his strange expression.
Wu You led them into the restaurant, greeted the manager, and then went directly upstairs to the second floor.
"Since you two are friends, I will arrange two rooms for you. This is for the lady, and this is for you..."
"Get a room," Su Yuchen said directly.
Yun Yao: "..." Isn't this an admission of guilt?
Seeing Yun Yao's dissatisfaction, Su Yuchen felt somewhat helpless.
"How much for a room?" I finally managed to smooth things over.
Wu You was slightly taken aback, then quickly said, "Our room rates are set according to the local conditions for our guests, so you can rest assured."
Su Yuchen hummed in agreement, walked past the two of them, and headed directly to the room on his left.
Watching his retreating figure, Yun Yao's brow twitched.
This guy seems angry!
Although Wu You was puzzled, he did not ask any further questions and handed the key to Yun Yao.
“Madam, my name is Wu You. May I ask how I should address you?” Wu You asked respectfully.
It must be said that the Tantu people were exceptionally courteous, and Yun Yao thoroughly enjoyed this long-lost respect.
"My surname is Yun." And then, nothing more was said.
Wu You understood and nodded slightly.
"Miss Yun, we'll be having lunch in an hour. Do you have any dietary restrictions?"
"I'm not hungry, go ask him."
As soon as Yun Yao entered the room, Wu You at the door instantly changed his expression, put his hands behind his back, and hurriedly left.
Even Yun Yao dared not let her guard down in this new territory, and she didn't eat a single bite of the meal they had prepared.
However, the dishes... were all to my liking.
Yun Yao didn't need to guess to know whose instructions it was.
"Su Yuchen, are you hungry?" Yun Yao asked in a low voice when no one was around.
"Not hungry."
As soon as Su Yuchen finished speaking, Wu You brought up the dishes.
"Miss Yun, why haven't you touched your chopsticks? Is it because our restaurant's food isn't to your liking? I'll have them redo it for you right away," Wu You said with great concern.
Yun Yao raised her hand to stop his impulse to undo the game and redo it.
"Wu You, no need, let's go for a walk." After saying that, Yun Yao raised her eyes and gestured to Su Yuchen.
A fine jade pendant appeared out of thin air in Su Yuchen's hand and he gently placed it on the table.
With such skills, Wu You no longer dared to underestimate Yun Yao and Su Yuchen. This restaurant had been built for many years, and countless travelers had come and gone. He had handled countless treasures, and he could tell at a glance that this jade pendant was of great value.
His serious expression vanished, replaced by a fawning one.
"Miss Yun, where would you like to go?" Wu You asked as he put the jade pendant on the table into his pocket.
Yun Yao raised her finger and wrote the character "命" (fate) on the table.
Wu You's expression changed drastically.
"Miss Yun, I don't understand what you mean."
Yun Yao wasn't annoyed and got up slowly.
“I have quite a few treasures here. Since you can’t do business with me, I won’t bother you any longer. Consider that jade pendant a tip for you.”
Every business in Tantu is in a situation where they either don't make any money for a year or make a living from their business. If Wu You really lets Yun Yao leave, who knows how much he will lose.
Sure enough, Wu You panicked when he saw Yun Yao was about to leave.
"Hey, hey, Miss Yun, don't go! I suddenly remembered!" Wu You blocked Yun Yao's way.
Yun Yao crossed her arms over her chest, her eyebrows slightly raised.
"I remembered?"
Wu You nodded his head like a chick pecking at rice.
"I remember now, you just wanted to find a fortune teller, right? I know where he is!"
Su Yuchen knew nothing about Yun Yao's itinerary until now, when he learned that they had traveled all this way just to find some kind of fortune teller.
He followed Yun Yao expressionlessly, wary of their surroundings.
When he sees any man casting a malicious glance at Yun Yao, he will definitely warn them with his suffocating aura.
Wu You led them through many twists and turns, finally stopping in front of a dilapidated temple.
"Gentlemen, I will not go in here. If you truly have something to ask for, then sincerely worship the Buddha statue inside. If the Thousand Compassionate Buddha hears your heart's desire, he will appear to divine your fate. If your hearts are not sincere, then you will have no chance to meet him."
"This is all I can do for you. Remember, you must be respectful and never utter any foul language to offend the statue. Otherwise, it's uncertain whether you will be able to leave Tantu alive." With that, Wu You turned and left.
Yun Yao withdrew her gaze and was about to step inside when Su Yuchen stopped her.
"Wanwan, you're not such a self-aware person."
Yun Yao looked at him in disbelief.
"Su Yuchen, what did you say?"
"It's alright, just stay close to me." With that, he took Yun Yao's wrist.
The temple gate has been in disrepair for many years, and it is so loose that it seems about to collapse if you push it.
Thick spider webs hung on the door, and as the door was pushed open, they fell, seemingly about to entangle the two of them.
Yun Yao felt an invisible wave of energy push her away; its power was so great that even she was shocked.
This was the first time Yun Yao had seen him use magic. Was he already so skilled?
and many more……
Her spiritual power is silver, which is already a top-tier quality.
However, the spiritual power emitted by Su Yuchen was colorless!
Colorless—that's top-grade spiritual talent! Even she'd never seen anything like it! Is this guy really that monstrous?
For some reason, Yun Yao felt a sense of pride. No wonder he was the man she had her eye on! He was truly a once-in-a-millennium genius!
The temple was not as dilapidated as it appeared from the outside. The three-meter-tall statue was spotless, and fresh fruits and vegetables were placed on the altar. Incense and candles were burning, and the flames were flickering slowly.
Seeing this, Yun Yao couldn't help but scoff.
"Is this a Buddha statue? These days, can any piece of trash be used to build a temple and erect a statue?"
After she finished speaking, a gust of cold wind blew by, and the candle suddenly went out.
"Pretend to be a ghost."
Even though Su Yuchen remembered Wu You's admonition to be respectful to the Buddha statue, he now agreed more with Yun Yao's approach.
After all these years, he had never seen that Buddha statue before; it was a blind fortune teller.
Even with the chilling wind blowing, Yun Yao showed no fear. Dressed in white, she stood between heaven and earth, her eyes filled with pride.
"Su Yuchen, do you know why I brought you here?"
"Because I discovered that someone was approaching you with ill intentions; their eyes were full of jealousy and resentment."
"I heard that Tantu is not only a trading place, but also famous for having a living god who can defy fate. But now you see, forget about any living god, even the Buddha statues enshrined here are all such scoundrels."
"It's probably just a charlatan putting on a show here. How about we smash this temple? It would be doing the people a favor." Yun Yao's clear voice echoed in the dilapidated temple.
She looked around warily, and before she knew it, she had already shielded Su Yuchen behind her.
After Yun Yao finished speaking, not only did the yin wind disappear, but everything else vanished, and the temple became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
"Oh, aren't you going to show yourself?" Then don't blame me for being ruthless.
