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

Night quietly descended, enveloping the sky.

Qingshui County was immersed in tranquility, and all was quiet.

The distant mountains blurred into a dark shadow in the night, like a sleeping giant.

A bright moon hung in the night sky, casting its cool light and illuminating the entire county.

Under the moonlight, everything seemed so peaceful and mysterious, but at this moment a red light suddenly burst forth from the darkness.

The red light, like a burning flame, gradually approached this direction.

It leaped and shimmered in the moonlight, like a dazzling pearl in the night sky.

As the distance decreased, the outline of the red light became clearer, and a human figure could be vaguely discerned.

When she was fully revealed in the moonlight, it seemed as if even the surrounding air trembled.

This woman was none other than Wen Muxuan, who had fallen into demonic possession.

A month later, Wen Muxuan visited Qingshui County again.

Since the last incident, Wen Muxuan's condition has improved somewhat.

However, she often falls into a state of rage and mental instability, at which point Wen Muxuan always loses control and wants to kill.

Therefore, the reason why Wen Muxuan has not appeared for a month is that she is trying her best to control her surging desire to kill.

She feared that she would lose control of her endless murderous thoughts and harm innocent people.

When she occasionally regains her composure, Wen Muxuan will calm down and think the whole thing through carefully.

She had a hunch that this matter might not have anything to do with Shen Shuchou. If he really wanted to take action, why didn't he do it before?

But whenever Wen Muxuan thought of the red-haired Shen Shuchou she had seen in Ye Xie's hands, and then witnessed the massacre of the Wen family, she couldn't control her killing intent.

Wen Muxuan wasn't without her suspicions; perhaps the other party was lying to her.

But Wen Muxuan thought again that she and Ye Xie had been fellow disciples for many years, and Ye Xie was her senior sister. There had never been any conflict between them.

Even if we are both righteous people and have a grudge, we would not be so utterly heartless.

Therefore, between Shen Shuchou and Ye Xie, Wen Muxuan still leans more towards Ye Xie.

Now that the Qingming Festival has been briefly restored, Wen Muxuan has returned to Qingshui County once again.

She had two purposes for coming here. First, she wanted to ask Shen Shuchou in person. If he showed any sign of something amiss, Wen Muxuan would definitely kill him.

Sometimes people are just strange. They could be more decisive, but they insist on trying to verify the truth.

Secondly, Wen Muxuan wanted to know how Wen Yanyu was doing.

Wen Muxuan knew very well how ruthless that sword strike was; it was aimed entirely at taking Shen Shuchou's life.

However, Wen Yanyu unexpectedly blocked his way and neutralized some of his power.

Wen Muxuan knew that Shen Shuchou would definitely not die, but she dared not think about what would happen to Wen Yanyu.

During these days, Wen Muxuan's heart was constantly torn apart by pain.

In her heart, there was a deep-seated hatred for the massacre of her family, a burning anger that had nowhere to be vented.

On one hand, she felt deep remorse for stabbing her younger sister; her heart was filled with regret and guilt.

Memories of the past with Wen Yanyu involuntarily surfaced in my mind, each fragment piercing me like a knife.

Finally, the mystery surrounding the whole affair left her feeling worried and confused.

She felt as if she were in a dark maze, unable to find the exit, her whole being weighed down by a heavy burden that made it almost impossible for her to breathe.

At this moment, Wen Muxuan stood quietly downstairs in the restaurant, her eyes fixed on the view above.

"Brother...don't...leave me."

Pei Rou lay in Shen Shuchou's arms, murmuring sweet nothings.

Shen Shuchou's eyes were full of heartache; today was probably the day Pei Rou had the best appetite in recent days.

During Shen Shuchou's coma, the little girl lost her appetite and lost a lot of weight.

Now, with the help of the Demon Blade Listening to Spring Rain, Shen Shuchou has finally regained his senses, and Pei Rou is finally able to have a hearty meal.

Not long after they finished eating, Pei Rou fell asleep in Shen Shuchou's arms, murmuring softly to herself.

Shen Shuchou reached out and gently stroked Pei Rou's back to give her a sense of security.

At that moment, a chilling aura suddenly locked onto Shen Shuchou.

As if sensing something, Shen Shuchou suddenly looked out the window.

Sensing the chilling aura, Shen Shuchou instantly realized who was outside.

"Wait a minute! She just fell asleep."

Shen Shuchou spoke softly towards the window.

His voice was like a gentle breeze, soft and warm, as if afraid of waking Pei Rou, who had finally managed to fall asleep peacefully.

There was no sound coming from outside, but the aura that had been locked onto him receded slightly.

"Thanks."

Shen Shuchou spoke softly.

The room was quiet, as if you could hear the passage of time.

Shen Shuchou gently stroked Pei Rou's back, his movements delicate and tender, as if he were protecting a precious treasure.

As he stroked her, Pei Rou's breathing gradually became steady, and slowly, she began to snore softly.

The soft sound echoed in the quiet room, like a gentle lullaby.

Then Shen Shuchou gently placed Pei Rou on the bed and carefully got up.

"don't want...."

Suddenly a cry of surprise rang out, and a small hand suddenly grabbed Shen Shuchou.

Shen Shuchou thought Pei Rou had woken up, but when he turned his head, he found that the little girl still had her eyes closed.

Her sleeping face looked extremely uneasy. The fear and anxiety she had endured over the past month had made Pei Rou very sensitive, even in her dreams.

Shen Shuchou looked at him with pity, gently moved his hand away, and then tiptoed to the door.

Before leaving, Shen Shuchou glanced at Ting Chunyu, who was lying in the corner, hesitated for a moment, and still did not take her with him.

Little did anyone know that after Shen Shuchou left, the delicate figure on the bed suddenly opened her eyes.

Pei Rou walked quietly to the window and saw Wen Muxuan's figure downstairs through the crack.

At that moment, Wen Muxuan seemed to have noticed her as well, her cold red eyes meeting hers intently.

On one side was Wen Muxuan, who had fallen into demonic possession. Standing there, she resembled a demon god, radiating a terrifying aura.

On one side was Pei Rou, whose delicate and frail body evoked feelings of pity in those who looked at her.

At this moment, the gap between the two seemed like an insurmountable chasm.

But Pei Rou's small face, half of which was hidden in the darkness, showed no fear whatsoever.

A faint ray of moonlight shone through the gap, falling like a veil and illuminating the other half of the silhouette.

The eye illuminated by the moonlight showed no trace of weakness, but rather an unusual firmness.

Pei Rou pursed her lips slightly, as if silently telling herself that she should do something.

Pei Rou then looked away and then at Ting Chunyu at her feet.

Without any hesitation, he picked it up and slowly turned to walk towards the door.

Her delicate figure flashed by in the sliver of moonlight.

She absolutely would not allow anyone to hurt her brother again, no matter who that person was.

This time, it's her turn to protect her brother.
