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

As night fell, the inky darkness quickly swallowed the entire earth, and the hustle and bustle of the day gradually subsided.

A bright moon hung high in the sky, casting its cool light like a silver plate, illuminating this world covered in silver.

The snow and ice stopped falling without anyone noticing, as if time itself had frozen.

The ground was covered with a thick layer of snow, like a white velvet blanket stretching into the distance.

Under the moonlight, the snow shimmered with a faint light, like countless tiny diamonds, radiating a mesmerizing brilliance.

However, the cold air was even more intense than during the day.

The cold seemed to penetrate to the bone marrow, making people shiver uncontrollably. Every breath felt like inhaling countless ice needles, piercing their hearts and lungs.

However, compared to the biting cold outside, the room was filled with a warm and cozy atmosphere.

Two fiery bodies embraced each other tightly, as if trying to embed each other into the depths of their souls.

They quietly nestled in their small bed.

That narrow space, however, miraculously radiated a warmth as intense as a blazing fire.

Their skin touched, and every inch of contact transmitted a scorching heat.

It felt as if countless warm currents were flowing freely through each other's bodies.

That warmth not only dispelled the chill in my body, but was also like the sunshine of spring.

It pierced through the gloom in their hearts, allowing two hearts to find the most peaceful haven in this cold world.

"Sis! Can you stop hugging me so tightly?"

From the darkness came Shen Shuchou's cautious, yet somewhat helpless, voice.

He kept his voice very low, as if afraid of offending the older sister in front of him.

Shen Shuchou and Luo Shisan were face to face, so close that he could clearly smell the warm breath coming from the other's nose.

The breath gently brushed against his face, making his heart beat faster involuntarily.

"No! I picked you up, and I'm afraid you'll get lost, so I need to hold you tight."

Luo Shisan spoke righteously and firmly, her tone resolute and unwavering.

He tightened his arms even more, as if Shen Shuchou would disappear if he loosened his grip.

"I'm not a child anymore; I can sleep in my own room now."

Shen Shuchou asked tentatively, his voice tinged with trepidation, as if he were awaiting an unknown trial.

Upon hearing this, Shen Shuchou felt a shiver run through his body.

In the darkness, Luo Shisan's eyes stared at him with a hint of coldness, his gaze like a cold arrow in the cold night, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Even if you grow up, you'll still be the one I picked up.

Luo Shisan's voice rang out in the darkness, cold and resolute, with an undeniable forcefulness.

"You'll always be my sister's, and I'll never let you leave me for even a moment. Don't say things like that again, okay?"

As Luo Shisan spoke, his calm tone trembled slightly, the tremor filled with unease and fear.

It was as if the thought of possibly losing him filled her with endless pain.

"good!"

Shen Shuchou spoke softly, his voice as light as falling snowflakes, almost inaudible.

Ugh!

He then sighed inwardly, realizing that these words were merely a test of Luo Shisan's possessiveness towards him.

His eyes gleamed with a complex light in the darkness, a mixture of helplessness and heartache.

However, the current results are also clear: Luo Shisan has a very strong possessive desire for him.

For the past seven years, Luo Shisan never allowed Shen Shuchou to leave the Luo residence. Whatever Shen wanted, Luo Shisan always did it personally, never letting anyone else interfere.

Neither Qingyu nor Leng Chaozhi would do; in Luo Shisan's heart, only she could fulfill her brother's wishes.

Her persistence and determination are like an unbreakable shackle.

While she tightly bound Shen Shuchou to her side, she also made him feel a unique warmth and care.

But Shen Shuchou knew that this heartwarming scene would be shattered sooner or later.

As the years passed by, he remained perfectly clear about the tasks assigned to him by the system.

Upon reflection, this mission is indeed much easier than the previous three incarnations.

In the initial stage, he only needed to wholeheartedly play the role of an obedient and docile younger brother.

Back then, he always obediently listened to every word Luo Shisan said.

Her face beamed with an innocent smile, and her eyes were filled with dependence and trust in her older sister.

However, as time went on, in later stages, he had to switch roles and portray a psychological state of being tired of being imprisoned.

At that time, the system would also lend a helping hand to Shen Shuchou, injecting him with a sense of disgust for this kind of life.

He would deeply loathe being endlessly imprisoned in this small courtyard.

He would also feel extreme disgust at being filled with Luo Shisan's intense, almost insane, possessiveness.

That excessive restraint was like a heavy and cold shackle.

It clung tightly to his soul, filling every breath he took with pain and helplessness.

At that time, every concerned look and every tight hug turned from warmth into an unbearable burden, pushing him to the brink of collapse under this excessive care.

At that time, Shen Shuchou's resistance will be like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples and further igniting the endless morbid desires in Luo Shisan's heart.

That desire is like a demon hidden deep in the dark abyss; once awakened, it runs rampant with an even more uncontrollable force.

Shen Shuchou is currently unaware of what specific actions Luo Shisan will take against him.

But with a keen intuition, one can probably guess about 70-80% of it.

Although Shen Shuchou was extremely unwilling to see things develop in such a terrible direction.

But this was a predetermined path, one that neither he nor Luo Shisan could choose.

They are tightly bound by the threads of fate, unable to break free from this predetermined trajectory.

And only eight short years have passed since that crucial moment.

Time always flies by like a white horse galloping past a crack in the wall; it passes by in the blink of an eye.

For now, Shen Shuchou can only do his best to play the role of a good younger brother perfectly during this period.

Thinking of this, Shen Shuchou couldn't help but gently embrace Luo Shisan.

The movement was gentle and natural, as if it were an unconscious act of comfort.

Luo Shisan noticed Shen Shuchou's actions, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips.

The smile contained satisfaction and contentment; it seemed that in that instant, all worries had temporarily vanished.

For a moment, silence fell in the darkness, and no one spoke.

Only the sound of warm breaths rose and fell, intertwining, alternating, and merging together.

The sound of her breathing was soft and long, like the whisper of the night, and it was particularly clear in this tranquil atmosphere.

Each breath they shared felt like a silent exchange between two hearts, conveying complex and indescribable emotions.

After an unknown amount of time, Luo Shisan gently opened his eyes in the darkness.

Those eyes gleamed faintly in the darkness, like stars twinkling in the night sky.

She gently removed Shen Shuchou's hand from her waist, her movements careful and cautious.

It was as if they were holding the most precious and fragile treasure in the world.

Then she gently got up and got out of bed, each movement as light as a falling feather.

The voice was very soft, as if afraid of waking the sleeping Shen Shuchou.

The faint sound was almost inaudible in the silent darkness, yet it carried a unique gentleness.

Luo Shisan simply put on a thick coat, and the tightly closed door made a soft creak, the sound of which was particularly clear in the quiet night.

Immediately afterward, Luo Shisan's figure crossed the doorway, like a ghost that had quietly departed.

The moonlight, like a light veil, gently sprinkled across the frost and snow, adding a touch of hazy poetry to this cold world.

Not far away, under the eaves of a building, stood a woman in green robes holding a sword.

Her silhouette, illuminated by the moonlight, was breathtakingly beautiful. Her slender figure seemed to blend seamlessly with the moonlight, creating a dreamlike and enchanting scene.

Hearing the noise behind her, she turned around and saw Qingyu standing there.

In that instant, her face was clearly visible in the moonlight, her eyebrows like distant mountains, her eyes like autumn waves, her beauty breathtaking.

"Is he asleep?"

Qingyu frowned slightly, her tone quite helpless, and sighed softly.

"Shh! Keep your voice down, don't wake my brother."

Upon seeing this, Luo Shisan's brows furrowed instantly, and he immediately cast a reproachful glance at her.

At the same time, quickly put your right index finger to your lips, making a shushing gesture.

"Don't worry! I have a protective barrier of my true energy here, which will isolate our voices."

Upon hearing this, Qingyu was slightly taken aback, then smiled confidently.

As she spoke, she raised her left hand and waved it gently, indicating that Luo Shisan didn't need to be too nervous.

"That's fine then."

Upon hearing this, Luo Shisan's tense body slowly relaxed, and he smiled slightly, a smile as warm as a spring breeze.

She subconsciously raised her hand and patted her chest, letting out a long sigh of relief. She was afraid that the sound of their conversation would wake Shen Shuchou.

"You really intend to keep him confined here indefinitely?"

Qingyu looked at Luo Shisan, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said softly.

"He is my brother Luo Shisan for one day, and he will be my brother Luo Shisan for life. Of course I will take care of him."

Luo Shisan blurted it out almost without hesitation.

After saying that, she raised her chin slightly, her eyes revealing determination and stubbornness.

"Such a plan is not a long-term solution; you can't keep him under control forever."

"Moreover, after today, the entire Holy Dynasty will know that you, Luo Shisan, have taken an ordinary person as your younger brother. Even if your father turns a blind eye, others may not do the same."

Qingyu voiced her worries, her brows furrowing even more, and her hands involuntarily crossed over her chest.

No matter how unpopular Luo Shisan was, she was still a princess in all right.

The blood flowing in his veins was royal blood, something ordinary people could only dream of their entire lives.

The reason Luo Shisan imprisoned Shen Shuchou in this small courtyard.

On the one hand, it was because of the possessiveness that had not yet fully developed in her heart.

On the one hand, she didn't want others to know that Luo Shisan had raised a younger brother.

Now that the truth has come out, even if Luo Tianyang doesn't care, those scheming and scheming people in the palace will not easily let go of such an opportunity, and will inevitably cause some trouble for Luo Shisan.

"That's why I came to find you, Qingyu. I want to start cultivating."

Luo Shisan's delicate face now wore an unprecedented serious expression.

Her eyes were like deep lake water, clear and firm, staring straight at Qingyu beside her.

That gaze contained determination and expectation, as if it were telling Qingyu about the deepest desire in her heart.

Upon hearing this, Qingyu's expression froze, as if a boulder had been thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples to spread.

Her eyes were first filled with surprise, and that surprise quickly spread across her face.

Immediately afterwards, the surprise receded like a tide, replaced by a radiant joy, as bright as spring flowers in bloom.

From a very early time, Qingyu had been wholeheartedly dedicated to guiding Luo Shisan onto the path of cultivation.

Because in Qingyu's eyes, all external protection is only temporary.

Ultimate protection must stem from one's own powerful strength.

Qingyu firmly believed this in her heart. She knew that no matter how comprehensive the protection provided by the outside world was, it was difficult to withstand the various changes in the long river of time.

Even though Luo Shisan's aptitude wasn't particularly good, he was able to make rapid progress thanks to the blessings of the Dragon Vein and the Luo surname.

Unfortunately, every time Qingyu offered Luo Shisan advice on cultivation with high hopes, Luo Shisan would refuse her without hesitation.

Before, Luo Shisan only wanted to be an ordinary person quietly, even if it meant living in the shadows.

She preferred to avoid the hustle and bustle of the world, hiding in her own little corner, guarding a sense of peace and tranquility.

The appearance of Shen Shuchou, coupled with the matter of Luo Shisi, has been like a heavy hammer, slapping Luo Shisan awake.

This made her realize deeply that if she could not become strong, there would be no way she could safely protect Shen Shuchou.

Therefore, on this quiet night, she specially invited Qingyu out and expressed her willingness to follow her on the path of cultivation.

"I am willing to impart all my knowledge and skills to you regarding the methods of cultivation."

Qingyu's words were firm and powerful, her eyes full of sincerity and enthusiasm.

Upon seeing that Luo Shisan was willing to cultivate, she naturally agreed readily, her joy overflowing.

Without any hesitation, Luo Shisan nodded in agreement.

Under the cold moonlight, the two women's slender backs were clearly visible, like two silhouettes, exuding determination and perseverance.

After exchanging a few more casual words, they each returned to their rooms.

The night grew ever deeper, like thick ink, staining the world with an indelible dark hue.

The gentle moonlight, like water, spilled softly into the courtyard, casting a dreamlike silver veil over everything.

Luo Shisan's movements were as gentle as when she left; she returned to the bed as lightly as a butterfly.

Each step felt like walking on cotton, without making a sound.

Luo Shisan carefully slipped into the warm bed, his movements so subtle as if he were afraid of breaking the tranquility of the night and disturbing the sleeping Shen Shuchou.

After lying down, she slowly reached out and gently embraced Shen Shuchou.

Her gaze was gentle and tender as she quietly looked at Shen Shuchou's incredibly youthful face as he slept.

A gentle smile appeared on Luo Shisan's lips, a smile as warm and intoxicating as the spring sun.

At this moment, her eyes shone with determination, and her thoughts became increasingly clear and resolute.

No matter how thorny the road ahead may be, no matter what difficulties and obstacles may arise.

She will do everything in her power to protect this hard-won beauty and not let it suffer even the slightest damage.

Those beautiful eyes lingered on Shen Shuchou's face for a moment before slowly closing in the darkness.

The silence of the night seemed to swallow everything, with only Luo Shisan's even breathing echoing softly in the air.

At that moment, the pair of eyes facing her opened, their contents revealing an incredibly complex meaning.

His gaze was like a deep, dark pool, concealing unspeakable thoughts, appearing especially mysterious in the pitch-black night.
