Chapter 1903
Tan Zhiqing removed the frost, allowing the corpse to thaw completely.
Su Yang summoned Yaoguang; under its green light, the pale corpse's complexion gradually turned ruddy.
Gradually, both Su Yang and Tan Zhiqing heard his breathing.
A smile slowly appeared on Tan Zhiqing's face.
This proved that even if Su Yang's pet resurrection ability had certain limitations, her freezing method was indeed viable.
Tan Zhiqing stared at Yaoguang, her eyes glowing green.
If pets could be stolen, she might have tried to seize Yaoguang herself.
So beautiful, possessing powerful healing skills, even resurrection — such a rare pet, she too wished to own one.
Soon, the corpse slowly opened its eyes.
He sat up, staring at his own body in disbelief.
"President Tan, am I not dead? I clearly remember I should have died…"
Tan Zhiqing smiled: "Congratulations, Li Cunhao, you've come back to life!"
"How am I alive?"
Li Cunhao still couldn't believe it.
"You'll have to ask Vice President Su!"
Tan Zhiqing smiled warmly at Su Yang.
"Vice President Su?"
Li Cunhao looked toward Su Yang in confusion, though startled by Su Yang's identity.
Still, he quickly stood and bowed respectfully to Tan Zhiqing and Su Yang.
After all, he trusted Tan Zhiqing would not deceive him.
"Vice President Su, did you bring me back to life?"
"Mm."
Su Yang nodded.
Li Cunhao exclaimed excitedly: "Thank you, Vice President Su, for my rebirth! If you ever need anything from me, just say the word!"
Su Yang smiled: "Don't be so formal — we're old acquaintances!"
"Old acquaintances?"
Li Cunhao racked his brain but couldn't recall ever meeting Su Yang before.
Seeing Tan Zhiqing and Su Yang's serious expressions, he even began to wonder if he'd lost some memories.
Tan Zhiqing reminded him: "Do you remember Elder Chen Feng?"
"You…"
Li Cunhao's eyes widened in shock.
He wasn't stupid — the hint was obvious.
"Yes, I used Chen Feng's identity back then because it was inconvenient. Only recently did I become vice president."
"I still must thank Vice President Su!"
Since Tan Zhiqing didn't press the matter, Li Cunhao had no objections.
Besides, before he died, he had seen how Su Yang unleashed divine power on the battlefield, crushing the Shenlongshang Alliance's beast masters.
Tan Zhiqing said: "Li Cunhao, since Vice President Su revived you, you must follow Vice President Su's demands."
"What demands?"
"I hope you will conceal your identity from now on," Tan Zhiqing said. "Vice President Su doesn't want to reveal his resurrection ability yet — you must understand."
"Even my family?"
Li Cunhao's mouth felt bitter.
Tan Zhiqing looked at Su Yang, who sighed slightly: "You may tell one important person, but I advise you to impose restrictions on them."
"Thank you, Vice President Su!"
"Alright, that's settled."
Tan Zhiqing handed Li Cunhao a hooded black robe.
After he changed clothes and concealed his aura, Tan Zhiqing and Su Yang led Li Cunhao out of the secret chamber.
As for Li Cunhao's future plans, it was no longer Su Yang's concern.
"Vice President, stay in Babao City for a few days," Tan Zhiqing smiled. "Just wander around, make a public appearance — I'll have Yun Shuying accompany you."
"Alright."
Yun Shuying felt awkward upon seeing Su Yang again.
She had exposed Su Yang's secret, only for him to become the third most powerful figure in Baozhaifu — a superior she couldn't challenge.
She remembered when she first met Su Yang in Qingluan Kingdom — he was just an ordinary God-Rank beast master. Now, how short a time had passed, and he had become the God-Rank High-Grade beast master and vice president of Baozhaifu.
Yun Shuying's emotions were incredibly complex.
Words couldn't describe them.
Su Yang smiled and greeted: "Elder Yun, long time no see — you seem unwell lately."
Isn't it all because of you?
Isn't it because I'm afraid you'll make me wear your shoes?
Of course, Yun Shuying dared not say that.
"Vice President Su, you flatter me," she deflected. "It's just that Baozhaifu has been extremely busy lately."
"Tsk tsk! Even a God-Rank beast master gets this busy?" Su Yang teased. "When I have time, I'll mention it to President Tan — have her lighten your workload."
"No!"
"Oh?"
"President Su, I'm sorry, okay?"
Su Yang asked, "Where did you go wrong?"
"I shouldn't have revealed your identity!"
Su Yang shook his head: "Not that!"
"Not that… then what else?"
"Think again—think further back!"
Yun Shuying shook her head: "I don't remember. I don't recall doing anything else wrong to President Su… Could it be last time, when I urged you to retaliate against the Shenlongshang Alliance? Didn't we already settle that?"
"Not that. Think further back!" Su Yang said, seeing Yun Shuying still hadn't remembered, "Let me remind you—when we encountered the Blue-Skin Ghost in Phoenix Territory…"
Yun Shuying said plaintively: "President Su, I was just a little scared back then…"
"Heh!"
"Fine! President Su, I admit I wronged you then—I just felt we had no chance of winning and didn't want to die, so I deliberately provoked the Blue-Skin Ghost with you… You can punish me however you like, as long as it calms you down!"
"Forget it," Su Yang said, looking at Yun Shuying before taking a quiet breath. "It's been so long."
With that, Su Yang left.
Su Yang was not a forgiving man.
But he was a man who remembered old ties.
During the days he concealed his identity, Yun Shuying treated him and Xia Na fairly well.
Even when Chen Shengwu sued the Huaxia Federation, she helped suppress it.
At that time, she too was acting on old ties.
When she brought Liu Mengyun and Sovereign Jiazi to Babaozhai, she never mentioned to Liu Mengyun anything about her relationship with him…
Yun Shuying was indeed timid and selfish, but she wasn't entirely without merit.
As her superior, he could still forgive her this once.
Su Yang's villa remained exactly as it was.
