"Is it really like this?"
A few minutes later, Ye Yang used his Divine Consciousness to perform the Soul Grasp Technique, accessing Zhao Ling'er's memories and learning the reason behind Zhao Ling'er's acquisition of the Rejuvenation Pill.
The Rejuvenation Pill Zhao Ling'er exchanged was meant for Luo Wan'er.
Indeed, this Luo Wan'er is the one who recently revealed to Ye Yang that Earth still has Special Constitutions, with her possessing the Heavenly Charm Body, a top-tier physique.
Perhaps there's some unspoken connection between individuals with top-tier physiques.
Luo Wan'er, Zhao Ling'er, and Sheng Minglan, all possessing top-tier physiques in the entertainment industry, are very close friends.
For Zhao Ling'er to willingly spend her Kunlun Point Redemption on a Rejuvenation Pill for Luo Wan'er shows just how strong their bond is.
As Ye Yang continued to look, he soon found out why Luo Wan'er needed the Rejuvenation Pill.
Upon learning the cause, Ye Yang's eyes darkened, a trace of malice flashing through them.
Luo Wan'er was now in a life-threatening condition, on the verge of death.
Neither traditional Chinese medicine nor Western medicine could save her.
The one responsible for Luo Wan'er's condition was a man named Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan came from a family as prestigious as the Yao Family, a top-tier Aristocratic Family that had been passed down for thousands of years.
The Yao Family is known for their medical heritage, while the Zhou Family is famous for its scholarly traditions.
The Zhou Family's influence was once second only to the royal family before Great Xia entered the technological era.
Before the modernization of Great Xia, the Zhou Family held great authority, as nearly all scholars revered Zhou Zi, the Zhou Family ancestor, as a sage.
Officials from Great Xia regarded the Zhou Family as the orthodox embodiment of Confucianism, and in the eyes of some stubborn scholars, the royal family's words held less weight than those of the Zhou Family.
However, as Great Xia entered the technological era, the country undertook mass literacy campaigns and nine years of compulsory education to ensure that everyone had access to education.
The royal family spearheaded the literacy initiatives to prevent the new generation of scholars from continuing to revere the Zhou Family.
As a result, Zhou Family's power significantly diminished, though its influence still lingered among the top scholars of the land.
Zhou Yan was the only son of the current head of the Zhou Family, and the heir to the family's legacy.
Luo Wan'er's life was in danger because of Zhou Yan's harassment.
Zhou Yan had been infatuated with Luo Wan'er's beauty for a long time and wanted to make her his wife or concubine.
But due to her close relationships with Sheng Minglan and Zhao Ling'er, both from prestigious families, Zhou Yan did not dare to force her too harshly. He could only pursue her relentlessly.
However, despite being from a top-tier Special Constitution, Luo Wan'er was proud and refused to submit to Zhou Yan's advances.
For a long time, Zhou Yan dared not push her too far due to the presence of Zhao Ling'er and Sheng Minglan. But recently, Zhou Yan's father, Zhou Hongyu, fell gravely ill. Although he was saved, his condition worsened, and Zhou Yan was quickly summoned to take over the family's power.
With his new power, Zhou Yan felt emboldened and no longer feared offending Zhao Ling'er or Sheng Minglan.
He began using his family's influence to pressure Luo Wan'er into becoming his woman.
For most people, this would have been the end of the story.
After all, Zhou Yan had power and influence, and promised to make Luo Wan'er his legitimate wife if she agreed to his advances.
But Luo Wan'er, with her top-tier Special Constitution, refused to surrender.
In the end, Luo Wan'er chose death rather than submission and ingested a poison from the Yao Family.
This poison would turn her into a "poisoned person," and anyone who touched her skin would become infected with the toxin.
After Zhou Yan left, Luo Wan'er's condition deteriorated as the poison seeped deeper into her body, nearing her heart. Once it reached her heart, death would come instantly.
Zhao Ling'er, upon receiving news from Sheng Minglan, rushed to obtain the Rejuvenation Pill in hopes of saving her friend's life.
"Zhou Family? Zhou Yan?"
After reading everything, Ye Yang's eyes flashed with cold light.
Special Constitution individuals on Earth were, from the moment Ye Yang decided to cultivate the Heavenly Yin-Yang Record, considered his women.
Anyone who dared to lay a hand on them was challenging him.
And those who dared to take his women had only one fate: death.
Had this been when Ye Yang first obtained the Kunlun Mirror, he might not have felt such murderous intent. After all, he had been a law-abiding citizen for many years, and killing felt distant to him.
But his experiences in the Immortal Cultivation World had stained his hands with blood, and his journey to obtain Tianhuang Sect's qualification was anything but peaceful.
With his history in the Immortal Cultivation World, killing was no longer something that troubled his conscience.
"Mm?"
Just as Ye Yang was contemplating how to eliminate Zhou Yan, another phone call came through Zhao Ling'er's Divine Consciousness.
It was from Sheng Minglan again.
Upon hearing the news, Ye Yang's killing intent grew even stronger.
The call revealed that Zhou Yan had obtained an antidote that could neutralize the poison in Luo Wan'er's body. He was now planning to come and finish what he had started. Even if Luo Wan'er had poisoned herself, he would not stop until he had claimed her.
