Chapter 81 It's really a ghost story.
Looking at the comments on the screen, Yun Yao could see their expectations for Zhou Wan. She really didn't know how she had become so popular!
He shook his head, and his voice rose slowly.
"Zhou Wan loved locations by the sea and mountains during her lifetime. To curry favor with this all-powerful imperial advisor, Yuwen Qingyue gifted her a fine private island. Zhou Wan also enjoyed cultivating medicinal herbs, planting thousands upon thousands of them on that island. If that's the case, the island must be incredibly wealthy by now!" Yun Yao said with a hint of a smile, as if she were genuinely talking about someone else's affairs.
Little did she know, she was genuinely happy. These were indeed medicinal herbs, but this island was no ordinary island. The reason it was called Yuling Island was because it was rich in spiritual energy. The medicinal herbs she had planted had long since become spiritual plants, and their value was immeasurable!
[Hey, if such an island really existed, wouldn't it have been taken over by the locals long ago?]
When Yun Yao saw this comment, her voice carried a hint of worry: "Yes, I remember what this island is called again, right, Yuling Island!"
[Yuling Island? That sounds familiar, like I've heard it somewhere before.]
[Upstairs, you're not alone. I just checked, Yuling Island was only recently discovered. It's located about seven or eight miles from the sea near Yuancheng, and it's now under the protection of the local government.]
Upon seeing this comment, Yun Yao knew that she had achieved her goal for the day.
"Alright, everyone, that's all for today's live stream. See you on Sunday!" Yun Yao ended the live stream immediately.
Seeing her live stream reach the top of the trending topics list, Yun Yao's lips curled up slightly.
Alright, now she'll see what that peacock has to say!
Yun Yao got up and leisurely walked towards Mo Peichen.
“We’ll build a hotel on this land, providing food, drinks, and entertainment for our guests. And over here, we’ll build a small amusement park…”
"Mr. Mo, that woman is here again," his subordinate told Mo Peichen, who was excitedly planning the island's development.
Mo Peichen's voice stopped abruptly, and he turned to look at Yun Yao.
He and Yun Yao would be collaborating again later, so he couldn't afford to offend her too much.
"Oh, Miss Hu, are you done with your work?" Mo Peichen said, his words carrying no real meaning.
He vaguely heard Yun Yao saying something like "666" into her phone, thanking people for the donations. He guessed that Miss Hu was also a part-time online influencer.
Yun Yao didn't bother to figure out what the scrutiny in his eyes meant.
"Didn't you want evidence? Open your phone and take a look."
Mo Peichen was somewhat taken aback by Yun Yao's reaction, but he made no move to take out his phone.
He is the vice president of Yonsei International, in charge of all the tourism and entertainment companies under Yonsei International. Wouldn't it be a loss of face for him to take orders from a little girl like this?
“Ms. Hu, I’ve been accommodating to you because of our future cooperation. If you continue to be so unreasonable, I don’t think there’s any point in us cooperating anymore.” Mo Peichen also lost his temper.
"Mr. Mo, Mr. Mo, something seems wrong." The person behind Mo Peichen whispered in his ear.
"What's wrong?" As Mo Peichen turned around, someone shoved a phone in front of his face.
"What is that? Take it away..."
When Mo Peichen saw the contents above, he swallowed the last word "open" back down.
He snatched the phone and carefully looked through its contents.
"Who...who is this Skinner? How can he say who planted the things on Yuling Island?"
"Mr. Mo, this Skinner is quite famous. He's an officially recognized rising star in the archaeology field. A while ago, he did a live stream and made some outlandish statements that seemed unbelievable, but in the end, they were all proven to be true."
The more his subordinate spoke, the uglier Mo Peichen's expression became. His grip on the phone tightened, and his gaze towards Yun Yao was filled with incomprehension.
One second this woman said that all the medicinal herbs on the island were planted by Zhou Wan, and the next second an officially certified archaeology tycoon stood up to vouch for her. There was also the family tree she carried with her. This was clearly a well-prepared trip!
"What exactly do you want?" Mo Peichen's eyes clearly showed his wariness towards Yun Yao.
Yun Yao waved her hand nonchalantly, her voice as ethereal as a sea breeze.
"My goal is to prevent anyone from touching this island. Of course, if you really want to, that's fine too. Just give me the money from the medicinal herbs on the island, and I will no longer interfere in anything related to Yuling Island!" Yun Yao crossed her arms and looked at Mo Peichen and his group.
Yun Yao watched as Mo Peichen crushed the phone in his hand to pieces, and clicked her tongue lightly. It turns out this peacock is actually a tough guy!
"What, you want to kill me to silence me?" Yun Yao could easily see through his meaning.
A fierce glint flashed in Mo Peichen's eyes. He didn't respond to Yun Yao's words, but instead waved to the person behind him.
"This island must be ours. Listen carefully: once this tourist area is built, I will pay you three times your wages!"
The saying "money makes the world go round" applies at any time.
"Mr. Mo, what are your orders?" Many people gathered around Mo Peichen.
Mo Peichen looked at Yun Yao and said in a deep voice, "Tie her up. Be careful not to hurt her face."
"okay!"
Nearly a hundred people headed towards Yun Yao's direction, while Mo Peichen stood at the back of the crowd, his face expressionless.
He wasted nearly half a year trying to take over the island, spending countless sums on gifts and paving the way. Now, out of nowhere, a nobody has appeared—a descendant of Zhou Wan. As long as she's here, no one will know what happened here!
It’s a pity that ideals are full and reality is very skinny.
"Are you all tired of living?" Yun Yao's voice cut through the crowd and reached Mo Peichen's ears.
He had barely realized what was happening when he saw the crowd in front of him start to stir, and then they ran towards him as if they had seen a ghost.
"What's wrong? Why are you all running?!" Mo Peichen hurriedly grabbed one of them. "Are you all crazy? What could possibly scare you like this?!"
The man whose collar he was grabbing was trembling all over, and he raised his hand to point behind Mo Peichen.
"What the hell, what the hell!"
"Are you sick? In broad daylight, what could possibly be..." Mo Peichen turned his head and saw Yun Yao surrounded by green plants, making her look like a tree spirit.
"Ah! A ghost!" Mo Peichen ran incredibly fast, putting a hundred meters or so between himself and Yun Yao.
Yun Yao watched as the group fled in disarray, her anger undiminished.
"Didn't anyone tell you to ask for permission before touching other people's things? I've already said that if you want to touch Yuling Island, you'd better give me these spiritual plants as compensation. Otherwise, you can forget about ever taking Yuling Island. What, are you planning to take it by force? You can try." Yun Yao tenderly stroked the spiritual plants that they had trampled on, her tone unfriendly.
"Lord Ghost, no, Fairy Sister, please don't kill us! He's the one who ordered us to tie you up. The grievances have their source, the debts have their debtors, go find him!" Mo Peichen was quickly betrayed and pushed out.
"Damn it! You bunch of inhuman bastards, I'm going to dock your pay, just you wait!" Mo Peichen glared at them fiercely, then tiptoed back to the protection of the main group.
However, they all took a step back.
Mo Peichen: "..."
