The Law of Heaven

Chapter 112 Aihara's Battleground
Aihara felt completely disoriented, as if waking up from a hangover, his expression blank: "Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing? What's going on?"

Jiang Youqing was wearing a white spaghetti strap long dress, her slightly damp black hair cascading down like a waterfall, with a few drops of water clinging to the corners of her eyes and brows, making her look as if she had just taken a shower. She was also wearing a pair of cork flip-flops, revealing her smooth and delicate feet, with pink nail polish on her toes.

"This is the Central Hospital. After I rescued you that day, you were quite badly injured. We also encountered a mudslide, and I was injured myself after I helped you escape."

She placed the McDonald's bag on the table and explained, "The Deep Blue Alliance's purge of the remnants of the Shi family is over. The Shi family is almost completely wiped out, with only two Asura members still escaping. The Bliss Society also suffered heavy casualties; Gospel and Blessing escaped and should no longer pose a threat."

The other side of Mist Mountain has fallen silent. Since the ritual of the Formless Rebirth has been terminated, no more Heavenly Curse will flow out. There should still be some mutated experimental subjects remaining in the other side, but they do not pose a threat.

Deep Blue Union is currently rebuilding order within the city. Due to the defection of Yan Chengwu and Zhou Yin, the board of directors is also being restructured, and significant changes are likely.

Aihara finally breathed a sigh of relief. These troublemakers were almost all dead, and they deserved to die.

But then he suddenly remembered something crucial and instinctively asked, "Right, my actions..."

Jiang Youqing sat in the chair, expressionless, and said, "I know what you're worried about, so I contacted Director Jiang. Director Jiang covered for you and legitimized your actions. In the eyes of the board of directors, you were just injured while chasing the remnants of the Shi family, and I happened to run into you and rescued you."

Aihara was still a little flustered and asked again to confirm, "Nobody knows what I did last night, right?"

Jiang Youqing shook her head and said, "No one knows, including me. You don't need to explain anything to me. It's your secret, keep it to yourself."

Aihara hummed in agreement.

The concubine's meaning was clear: she didn't know how he passed through the forbidden path, what he gained there, or how he ended his formless rebirth.

But considering the cause and effect, Jiang Youqing, with her intelligence, could always guess something, but she didn't ask any more questions.

Everything was done to protect Aihara.

After all, given Aihara's current strength and status, even if the identity of the "weirdo" is exposed, it won't be a big deal. At most, he'll just die in the office, and there won't be any other risks.

But once someone learns that Aihara has traversed the forbidden path, the nature of the matter changes completely.

After Jiang Youqing returned, she must have consulted some ancient books and gained a general understanding of the matter concerning the Chosen One, which is why she said those words.

To put it bluntly, it's a reminder to Aihara.

Do not reveal your identity as the Chosen One to anyone.

"As expected of my beloved concubine."

Aihara admitted that he was moved. He looked at his beloved with a slightly aggressive gaze, admiring her snow-white profile, and said seriously, "I remember someone once said that if I could come back alive, I could not only hold her hand, but also hug her."

The title "beloved concubine" made Jiang Youqing frown slightly. In the morning light, her icy face tightened slightly, as if something was amiss: "I did promise you, but I feel there is something more important to tell you."

Ah, let's change the subject.

Aihara asked casually, "What is it?"

Jiang Youqing dropped a bombshell without changing her expression: "The true identity of Fuyin is Ruan Xiangtian."

a bolt from the blue.

Xiang Yuan was stunned at first, then felt as if he had been electrocuted, as if all the hairs on his body stood on end.

It felt as if a cold snake was slithering through my heart.

No wonder this gospel suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and seemed to know everything, showing such concern for the Ruan siblings; there's a reason for all of this.

At that moment, Aihara sensed Koki's volatile emotions. An almost uncontrollable rage erupted like lava, scorching his heart with intense heat.

No sadness.

There is only anger.

Xiao Qi already hated her biological father to the core, and now that she has learned about his other identity, her hatred has only intensified.

"This guy transferred the curse onto his own children, disguised himself and infiltrated their lives, and used them to complete that bloody ritual."

Aihara was silent for a moment, then said softly, "How can such a beast exist in this world? Once I achieve Grand rank, I will personally..."

Twist his head off!
Xiao Qi gritted his teeth in his heart.

"Ruan Xiangtian's true form has already escaped. It was probably Ye Xun who did this, waking him up prematurely."

Jiang Youqing explained calmly, "Back in the alternate dimension, the teacher only severed his spirit. Now that he knows his true identity, he'll probably be very sad."

"That bastard really knows how to survive."

Aihara always felt that the old chairman was quite pitiful; the whole company was a mess, with problems everywhere.

"Your sister is undergoing a check-up, and so far there are no problems. She will come to see you later."

Jiang Youqing helped her open the McDonald's bag: "Remember to eat breakfast, I have something to do..."

The girl's hands trembled slightly as she unwrapped the packaging.

He looked a little flustered and clumsy.

Although she still maintains the appearance of an ice queen on the surface, she has actually been wanting to run away for a long time.

Tsk, it's just holding hands and hugging.

Look how scared you are.

Aihara could tell that she wasn't ready to keep her promise yet, and said seriously, "Fine, but don't forget what you promised me. You can't go back on your word."

At that moment, he suddenly remembered something and asked suspiciously, "Right, why am I not wearing clothes? And who wiped my body?"

Jiang You said coldly, "Don't overthink it. These tasks were done by the hospital nurses. I wasn't there."

Aihara responded with an "oh".

I can't say whether I'm relieved or disappointed.

"Don't listen to her."

Xiao Qi's voice suddenly rang out: "When the nurse was wiping your body, she was watching from the side."

Aihara's eye twitched slightly.

Damn, how shameful.

Even if his beloved concubine actually saw his body, she probably wouldn't think anything of it. With her ascetic personality, she would only see it as a naked male body, just like in a biology class in junior high school, without any particular thoughts.

wrong!

Aihara suddenly realized.

He overlooked something crucial!

Jiang Youqing contacted Director Jiang to clean up his mess, which was tantamount to knowing about the relationship between the Jiang family and him. What could have been kept secret was suddenly brought to the forefront!

Jiang Youqing and Jiang Wanwu were once rivals.

nowadays.

The former had an ambiguous relationship with him.

The latter also wanted to keep him as a sugar daddy.

Holy crap, isn't this a chaotic mess?
Aihara felt no relief at surviving the ordeal; instead, he felt like the whole world was collapsing, and he didn't want to live anymore.

Jiang Youqing saw all the changes in his expression, but said nothing. She simply took out the gluttonous bear and placed it on the table: "This is your second uncle's keepsake. All your living spirits are in here. Only the life slug was taken out to heal your arm."

Aihara took the gluttonous bear and patted its head.

"I...I'm leaving first."

Jiang Youqing turned and left.

He hurriedly closed the door.

Aihara watched her beautiful figure as she fled in disarray and couldn't help but laugh: "You have your embarrassing moments too?"

The room was quiet, except for Xiaoqi's voice echoing in his mind: "Aihara, you still say this isn't your girlfriend? You two are practically having an affair!"

She didn't feel anything special when she saw these two people being affectionate before.

But now that the contract between the chosen ones has been established, Aihara and Koki have become the closest people in the world.

Xiao Qi was naturally very unhappy.

I want to curse, I want to bite.

"Uh, no, that's not important."

Aihara cleverly changed the subject, asking, "Kori, what exactly is your state right now? Were you conscious while I was unconscious? Could you take over my body? Or influence the outside world?"

The foolish little Qi was indeed led astray by him, and angrily said, "Of course not! There's a clear hierarchy between us. You're the master, and I'm the maid! You're unconscious, so I can only watch helplessly. I can't take over your body, let alone use your power. Without your permission, I can't influence the outside world at all; I can only sleep soundly inside you!" Aihara thought it was a pity.

This means one less means of survival.

"And what is your rank?"

Aihara asked.

“I don’t have any rank, and I’m in a very weak state right now. I can’t unleash any power that surpasses your rank, otherwise your body will collapse.”

Clearly, Xiao Qi must have studied the characteristics of the Chosen One while he was unconscious.

"Then what use are you?"

Aihara was completely bewildered: "I know you can merge with me and turn me into what you were before, greatly increasing my stats... but what else?"

Those destined by Heaven are so rare.

It's impossible that this is the only advantage we have.

"You're actually questioning me?"

Xiao Qi snorted and said smugly, "First of all, I have an independent consciousness inside you, which is equivalent to you always having a highly intelligent life form helping you collect information and analyze intelligence. This is a hundred thousand times better than the AI ​​you use when doing your homework!"

Aihara's eye twitched again. He really didn't dare to ask this girl to help him with his homework, otherwise his homeroom teacher, Old Wang, might drag him to the disciplinary office.

I can tell.

Xiao Qi has a flawed understanding of her own intelligence.

But Xiao Qi is right too.

In the future, Aihara may be confused when faced with some extreme situations, and Koki can remind him at crucial moments.

Xiao Qi said sweetly, "Secondly, with me by your side, you'll essentially have a huge reserve of spiritual energy. As our strength grows, our spiritual energy reserves will also increase. In the future, you'll hardly have to worry about running out of mana during battles, as I can replenish your mana anytime."

Aihara's eyes lit up: "Is there really such a good thing?"

Xiao Qi snorted, "Now you know how good I am? But that's not all, because according to my observation, my situation seems to be a little different."

Aihara asked in confusion, "What's different?"

Xiao Qi paused for a second, then muttered, "Because based on my observation, the Seal of Destiny should only be able to subdue a Heavenly Principle that has lost its self-awareness. Do you understand what I'm saying? When Heavenly Principle is resurrected through physical means, the host's consciousness should be annihilated. The Seal of Destiny is formed from the original will of Heavenly Principle, and it can only function at that time."

Simply put, it's like playing a pet-catching game. You have to erase the monster's consciousness before you can capture it and make it work for you. All the guardians of the Chosen Ones, although they possess consciousness, are devoid of personality and have completely lost their human characteristics.

But I am an exception. While retaining my humanity, I became a being of divine justice. And now, our souls have merged, and our brains are shared. Although I cannot peer into your consciousness, you can possess mine, just like a bully harassing a young girl…”

Aihara couldn't hold back and quickly interrupted, "Stop, stop, stop! What kind of strange analogy is that?"

Xiao Qi was scolded and said angrily, "Simply put, you can occupy my brain space, which means you can learn another major technique, Perfection Technique!"

Damn it.

Aihara's brain went blank. After becoming a Chosen One, he felt that his future was limitless, but at this moment he still felt a huge surprise and shock.

Learn another major in the art of perfect quality.

Instead of learning another complete technique.

It's just two words different.

But they are worlds apart.

Tenfold delusion is already an intensity rarely seen in the world.

Now that he can also master another major technique, Perfection, it's equivalent to having a second combat system.

Two completely different combat styles.

Switch freely.

Isn't it beautiful?

"and many more."

Aihara suddenly noticed a blind spot, looking down at the dragon bone bracelet on his wrist, and gently stroking it affectionately: "You have self-awareness, and you can gather and analyze information on your own. And since our brains are shared, does that mean that you can study on your own while I'm sleeping?"

Xiao Qi was taken aback, not understanding what he was thinking.

At this moment, this naive young girl had no idea what tragic future awaited her.

"Does that mean that I can teach you anything that I don't have time to learn in the future?"

Aihara slapped her thigh: "Kori, I love you!"

There's a Starbucks across the street from the Central Hospital. Jiang Youqing sat by the window with a latte in her hand, her white dress fluttering in the breeze, vaguely revealing her fair and delicate ankles.

Her skin was as smooth and warm as jade, almost transparently white, with faint blue veins visible beneath.

"Jiang Youqing".

Jiang Wanwu, dressed in a suit and skirt, also held a cappuccino, gently stirring the dark brown liquid with an iron spoon. She raised her eyes and asked, "How long have we known each other?"

Jiang Youqing raised her hand to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear, her cold eyes expressionless: "Seven or eight years?"

Jiang Wanwu sneered: "We are friends and competitors. I accept that my talent is not as good as yours and I can't compete with you, but aren't you going a bit too far now?"

She slammed the table.

"Why can't I see Xiaoyuan?"

Jiang Wanwu was very angry.

Jiang You raised her eyes coldly and asked, "Then, in what capacity did you go to see him?"

"female……"

Jiang Wanwu blurted out, but couldn't say the words because they weren't in a romantic relationship.

No wonder he's her nemesis.

One sentence hit her weak spot.

"A rich woman?"

Jiang Youqing said calmly.

"Then what makes you think you can see him?"

Jiang Wanwu coldly questioned.

"Comrade-in-arms."

Jiang Youqing explained, "His things are here with me. Can't I go and return them to him?"

Jiang Wanwu's face was cold, her full chest rising and falling slightly: "Then what if I meet him as a friend?"

Jiang Youqing was too lazy to argue with her. She took a sip of coffee and replied, "Your feelings for him are impure. You had the idea of ​​taking advantage of him before. I don't like you doing that, so I suggest you stay away from him."

crit.

Jiang Wanwu was stunned.

Hit the snake seven inches.

Jiang Youqing accurately hit her vital point.

Impure intentions.

This is indeed Jiang Wanwu's biggest weakness, because their initial acquaintance was based on the concept of being kept by a sugar daddy.

Jiang Wanwu wanted to take advantage of the boy's talent. She needed to give birth to an outstanding offspring to improve her status in the five major families and regain power.

“Aihara’s life has not been easy. He has no elders and has to raise his younger sister. He is a very hardworking person, and he should not be taken advantage of by someone like you.”

Jiang Youqing said expressionlessly, "As his comrade-in-arms and friend, I refuse to allow someone like you to visit him."

A deathly silence.

After a long time.

Jiang Wanwu suddenly asked, "You like him?"
