After nine lifetimes of reincarnation, the yandere villainous heroine descends.

As Wen Muxuan said, after this incident, he hasn't come here for some time.

Wen Yanyu had tried to persuade Shen Shuchou several times. In her heart, it was certainly a good thing to be able to cultivate, but it would be even better if she could be with Shen Shuchou.

However, after being rejected by Shen Shuchou, Wen Yanyu rarely came anymore. It wasn't that she didn't want to, but that Wen Muxuan had pulled her into the beginning of her cultivation journey.

Shen Shuchou stood in front of the door, gazing quietly at the vast white world, sighing softly in his heart, his eyes filled with melancholy.

During this month, many displaced people in the outer city of Jiangyun County did not survive and became frozen skeletons. Under the frigid weather, life seemed extremely fragile.

Fortunately, the snowstorm has finally shown signs of receding in recent days, which is good news for the struggling refugees.

Spring is gradually approaching, and the temperature in the air is gradually rising.

From the time he waited for Pei Rou until now, it has only been almost two months. He will stay here with Pei Rou for three years before he can leave.

Three years can feel like a long time, or a short time. Looking back, it seems like it has passed in the blink of an eye.

Time is the most ruthless thing in the world.

"What are you thinking about, brother?"

At that moment, a small hand gently grasped Shen Shuchou's hand.

Looking down, he saw Pei Rou staring at him with her bright, watery eyes.

Shen Shuchou smiled and reached out to pinch Pei Rou's small face.

Pei Rou squinted her eyes, seemingly enjoying the caresses from Shen Shuchou like a kitten.

After nearly two months, Pei Rou had been raised by Shen Shuchou to the point of being almost a completely different person.

When he first arrived, his whole body was covered in bruises and frostbite, and he was filthy. His small body was so thin that he was practically just a skeleton.

Her little face is now as pink and tender as a ripe apple, making her incredibly adorable.

Her skin was delicate and smooth, seemingly fragile, and as translucent as white jade.

Those big, bright eyes were like clear lake water, clear and captivating.

Her lips were as red as cherries, and her slightly upturned lips carried an innocent smile that made her instantly endearing.

Now he no longer looks like a homeless person, but rather like a wealthy young lady. However, all of this change is inseparable from Wen Muxuan's help.

If it weren't for her intervention, Pei Rou's frostbite wouldn't have healed so quickly.

"Pei Rou, do you have any goals for the future?"

Shen Shuchou looked into the distance and suddenly asked.

Pei Rou's goal is to always stay by her brother's side.

Although Pei Rou didn't understand why Shen Shuchou suddenly asked this, she still answered without hesitation.

Pei Rou didn't hesitate at all about this question; being able to stay by Shen Shuchou's side was her biggest goal.

"Silly sister, your brother won't always be here."

Shen Shuchou said with a smile.

Pei Rou tilted her head back and grabbed Shen Shuchou's hand, her voice suddenly pleading, "No, Pei Rou wants her brother to stay forever."

After spending the past month together, Pei Rou had completely placed her heart on Shen Shuchou.

She had never imagined that Shen Shuchou would be gone one day, and now, hearing him say this, she felt a tremor in her heart.

She was afraid that one day, her brother would no longer be by her side.

Pei Rou, petite as she was, suddenly clung tightly to Shen Shuchou, unwilling to let go for a long time.

Shen Shuchou smiled slightly and then stopped dwelling on the topic.

The rest of the days became quite simple. With meat provided by Wen Muxuan, there was no need to worry about not having enough to eat.

The only pity is that there is no rocking chair. During the relatively leisurely days of the female lead in the early stages, Shen Shuchou enjoyed lying on it the most.

Time flies, and the second month is coming to an end in the blink of an eye.

March 1st, 746th year of the Cangwu calendar.

Spring has arrived in this land, and the traces of winter are slowly fading away under the warming sunlight.

The vast snowfield, like a silver coat covering the earth, gradually blends with the warmth of spring.

On this day, Wen Muxuan's figure returned to this small shed after a long absence.

Under the gentle sunlight, the two shadows were stretched long, as if outlined by the brush of time.

I'm leaving tomorrow.

Wen Muxuan's beautiful eyes gazed at Shen Shuchou's profile, which was bathed in sunlight.

"Bon Voyage."

Shen Shuchou clasped his hands slightly and said.

"Are you really not planning to leave with me?"

Wen Muxuan pursed her lips and said.

"No, I'm fine the way I am now."

Shen Shuchou smiled faintly.

"Do you really not know what an opportunity you're about to miss? This is your only chance to defy fate."

Wen Muxuan persisted, refusing to give up.

Shen Shuchou gazed at the melting snow and smiled calmly, "So what? Even if you cultivate, it only increases your lifespan and makes you lonely for a while. In the end, you're still just a handful of yellow earth."

"Sometimes I really want to rip your soul out and see if you're really only eleven years old."

Wen Muxuan's expression was quite complicated. Listening to Shen Shuchou's carefree words, she didn't know what to say for a moment.

He was only eleven years old, but his words sounded so mature.

Therefore, Wen Muxuan rarely treated Shen Shuchou as a child, but rather viewed him from the perspective of a peer.

Perhaps that's why, despite being eleven years apart in age, the two can still be considered friends.

Shen Shuchou simply smiled and did not choose to answer.

Wen Muxuan looked at Shen Shuchou, who remained silent, and at that moment she understood completely.

No matter how much she tried to persuade him, she couldn't change Shen Shuchou's mind.

Even if there are a thousand words in my heart, in the end they all turn into a simple sentence.

Take good care of yourself.

Wen Muxuan looked into his determined eyes and said.

"The same to you."

Shen Shuchou said softly.

After saying that, Wen Muxuan turned and left without saying anything more. She knew that it would be useless to say anything.

But halfway there, Wen Muxuan stopped and looked back at the figure standing in the sunlight.

The sunlight, like a golden veil, fell upon him, outlining his youthful yet resolute face.

Those eyes revealed a depth beyond their years, as if they contained endless unspoken thoughts.

"After I leave, you can go to the Wen family in the inner city. They will ensure you have plenty of food and clothing."

This was the last bit of help Wen Muxuan could give Shen Shuchou.

Wen Muxuan's feelings for Shen Shuchou were more of a pity between friends; he clearly had great talent, yet he was willing to be an ordinary person.

Thank you.

Shen Shuchou gave a slight thank you, and then the beautiful figure in his sight gradually disappeared.

"Did my brother give up his cultivation because of me?"

At this moment, Pei Rou came out of the shed.

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly asking this?"

Shen Shuchou took her small hand and smiled.

Pei Rou lowered her head, her eyes downcast, and her voice trembled slightly: "If brother wants to pursue cultivation, Pei Rou can do it on her own."

Although Pei Rou is young, she is not stupid; on the contrary, she is very intelligent.

Pei Rouye overheard only a few words of Wen Muxuan's conversation with Shen Shuchou.

Pei Rou might not know what cultivation was, but judging from Wen Muxuan's expression, she could guess that it was important, or related to that immortal.

Immortals are unattainable for ordinary people in chaotic times; some people spend their entire lives without ever having the slightest chance of attaining immortality.

Only those who are fortunate enough to attain immortality can ascend to heaven in one step and rise to great heights.

This opportunity, which others would dream of, was presented to Shen Shuchou, but he refused it without hesitation.

At that moment, Pei Rou's heart trembled violently.

Pei Rou knew that her brother was willing to give up this hard-won destiny with immortality because of her.

Having spent this time together, Pei Rou had long regarded Shen Shuchou as the closest and most important person to her, and he had firmly occupied a place in her heart.

For a moment, Pei Rou felt a mix of emotions.

Firstly, she was deeply happy that Shen Shuchou was willing to give up his immortal destiny to stay by her side.

Secondly, he felt guilty for being a hindrance to Shen Shuchou's better life choices.

My brother might be better off without me.

Shen Shuchou knew exactly what the little girl meant, so he immediately leaned down and said in a doting tone, "What are you thinking? I've never cared about immortality, I only want you."

My brother only wants you.

These words struck Pei Rou like a heavy hammer, relentlessly reverberating deep within her soul.

An indescribable emotion welled up inside her, and her small face was blurred with tears in an instant.

"Waaaah... Brother..."

Pei Rou threw herself into Shen Shuchou's arms, calling out indistinctly.

In Pei Rou's heart, no matter how many sweet words or promises she could make, none of them could compare to her brother's words, "I only want you."

It has now become a pillar of strength in my heart.
