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

"elder brother..."

Pei Rou's delicate body trembled silently in Shen Shuchou's arms, her lips murmuring softly.

Those eyes were closed, as if she had fallen asleep.

On that small face, tears streamed down like broken pearls, reflecting endless sorrow and pain.

Her brows furrowed slightly, as if she had encountered something terrible in her dream.

"elder brother."

The next second, Pei Rou suddenly woke up and the first thing she looked at was Shen Shuchou in her arms.

Pei Rou gently pressed her head against Shen Shuchou's chest.

She listened quietly to the faint heartbeat, as if she were listening to a precious piece of music.

Every heartbeat resonated in her ears, carrying the rhythm of life.

Pei Rou's gaze fell tenderly on Shen Shuchou's face, her eyes filled with concern and affection.

I silently prayed that my brother would get better soon.

I hope that faint heartbeat can become strong and powerful.

"Brother, please wake up soon, Pei Rou really misses you."

Tears welled up in Pei Rou's red eyes once again.

Seven days have passed since Shen Shuchou fell into a coma. During this time, Pei Rou has hardly eaten or drunk anything, and her room is filled with food delivered by various restaurants.

During this time, Pei Rou cried countless times and stayed by Shen Shuchou's side all day long.

These past few days, Pei Rou's thoughts have often drifted back to the past.

Shen Shuchou's gentle face kept appearing in her mind, clear and vivid.

Pei Rou's biggest wish right now is for her brother to wake up.

She was also waiting for Li Qingyue to arrive.

Seven days have passed in the blink of an eye.

After nearly half a month, Pei Rou finally saw Li Qingyue, but Shen Shuchou still showed no signs of waking up.

When Li Qingyue saw Pei Rou again, her eyes were full of affection.

Pei Rou was extremely weak, almost emaciated, and at this moment she was like a withered leaf in the wind, about to fall along with the withering of the flowers.

Upon seeing the food in the room, Li Qingyue understood what was going on.

Li Qingyue immediately channeled a stream of true energy into her to prevent Pei Rou from fainting.

"Silly girl, why aren't you eating?"

Li Qingyue said with a hint of heartache.

"Save...brother...please!"

Pei Rou's previously somewhat numb gaze immediately brightened with hope upon seeing Li Qingyue's arrival.

Li Qingyue sighed deeply, her eyes filled with tenderness.

Pei Rou's appearance seemed to remind her of her past self, who was also filled with despair back then, watching helplessly as her brother left.

"Hmm! This is interesting!"

At that moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind Li Qingyue.

Pei Rou then noticed that there was a hunchbacked old man following behind Li Qingyue.

"Is there any way to dispel this demonic energy?"

Li Qingyue asked the old man.

The hunchbacked old man didn't speak, but his eyes were fixed on Shen Shuchou, and he kept making clicking sounds.

"You old fool, say something!"

Li Qingyue's expression showed a slight impatience.

The hunchbacked old man smacked his lips in dissatisfaction and said, "I am your master, after all. You brat, you keep calling me an old man. You don't respect your master at all."

Hearing him call her a "brat," Li Qingyue rolled her eyes helplessly and continued, without arguing with him, "Do you have any ideas at all?"

"What's your hurry, you brat? Let me test you a bit."

The hunchbacked old man then reached out a hand towards Shen Shuchou's chest, and a wisp of sword energy flowed into it from his fingertip.

But in the next instant, a glint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and his true energy was devoured by demonic energy in just a few breaths.

"This demonic energy can even devour my true energy. Interesting, really interesting."

The old man clicked his tongue in amazement.

Upon hearing this, Li Qingyue's expression immediately turned to surprise.

Her master was a True Person at the Tribulation Transcending Realm, yet his True Qi could be devoured by demonic energy. How could that be?

"This is no joke."

Li Qingyue said with an extremely serious expression.

"Do you think I'm joking with you? This demonic energy is truly rare; it's the first time I've ever encountered it in my entire life."

The old man said.

"Would using pills be effective?"

Li Qingyue then took out a pill from her bosom and was about to put it into Shen Shuchou's mouth.

But the old man stopped him, saying, "No, absolutely not! The strangeness of this demonic energy is unprecedented. It has already formed a small sea of ​​demonic blood within this boy's body. Not only will any pills be useless, they will also amplify the ferocity of this demonic energy."

Upon hearing this, Pei Rou's vision went black, and the glimmer of hope in her eyes seemed to be replaced by despair once again.

"Then what should we do? Isn't there any other way?"

Li Qingyue said with a somewhat anxious expression.

"There are solutions, but they may not be successful."

The old man remained silent for a moment before speaking.

"What method?"

Li Qingyue immediately pressed for an answer.

"That would be to forcefully destroy this demonic energy with domineering sword energy, but this kid is just a mortal. Whether he can succeed or not is another matter, but his body will definitely not be able to withstand it and will explode."

After the old man finished speaking, the room fell silent, and soon only Pei Rou's sobs could be heard.

"I wonder if I could take this kid back and study him?"

The old man spoke to himself.

"no."

"no."

Li Qingyue and the other woman said in unison.

Pei Rou absolutely refused to allow her brother to be taken away; she couldn't leave him for even a second.

Li Qingyue's refusal was mainly due to the old man in front of her.

Li Qingyue knew her master's personality very well. He loved to study strange and unusual things, but he could never figure anything out and often caused some trouble.

On the surface, the two were master and disciple, but in reality, the old man did not teach Li Qingyue anything. She had to figure out and solve most of the problems in her cultivation on her own.

A talent capable of destroying half of the entire Immortal Palace with a single pill-exploding attack led the sect leader and all the elders to unanimously suspect that he might be a spy sent by another sect.

From then on, the sect added a new rule: Li Changdao and dogs were not allowed to refine pills, and if they were found doing so, they would be expelled from the sect.

Therefore, Li Qingyue naturally dared not let him take Shen Shuchou back for research.

She can't keep an eye on it all the time; if she takes it back today, it might be gone by tomorrow.

"Then what am I supposed to do? You won't let me do this, you won't let me do that, can't I just quit?"

Li Changdao was somewhat displeased.

"Li Changdao, I've never asked you for anything before, but this time I'm begging you."

Li Qingyue pursed her lips and said.

She couldn't bear to see Pei Rou, who resembled her in childhood, lose her brother.

Helping Pei Rou seems to be indirectly helping his childhood self.

"Alright, alright, this old Taoist priest will help you, okay?"

After Li Changdao finished speaking, he flipped his hand, and four small swords appeared, circling around Shen Shuchou in four directions.

In an instant, a force trapped Shen Shuchou inside.

"My only option right now is to use the Four Symbols Sword Formation to temporarily trap his life force. This will only ensure that he doesn't die, but it won't last long. To deal with him properly, I'll need to return to my sect and investigate further."

Li Changdao.

This was Li Changdao's first time encountering such strange demonic energy, and he didn't have a good solution for the time being.

Li Qingyue nodded slightly upon hearing this, knowing that this was the only good solution at the moment.

After observing Shen Shuchou for a while, Li Changdao left. Before leaving, he used his abilities to steal a wisp of demonic energy to take back for research, so that he could find a way to break the deadlock.

Li Qingyue comforted Pei Rou for a while, and under her persuasion, Pei Rou finally agreed to eat a little something.

For the past two weeks, Pei Rou has only eaten a little bit each time, and has spent most of her time by Shen Shuchou's side praying that he will wake up.

Li Qingyue couldn't stay with Pei Rou forever, so she left after a short while.

The room was filled with a quiet atmosphere, broken only occasionally by Pei Rou's sobs.

Sunlight streamed through the window, casting dappled shadows on the floor, but it couldn't dispel the gloom in the room.
