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

Upon hearing this, Luo Shisan's departing figure suddenly paused.

Luo Shisan slowly turned her head, her beautiful face carrying a hint of frost.

It felt even colder than the biting morning chill, making one shiver involuntarily.

A slight, self-deprecating smile appeared on her lips: "Heh! Luo Qingchuan, you don't deserve to be my brother. I, Luo Shisan, have never needed any relatives since I was a child. Now you can leave."

The voice was icy and chilling, each word seemingly squeezed out from between teeth, filled with resolute indifference.

Upon hearing this, a trace of loneliness flashed in Luo Qingchuan's eyes. That loneliness was like a fleeting shooting star in the night sky, gone in an instant yet so striking.

At the same time, a deep sense of self-reproach quietly spread across his eyes, like ink slowly seeping onto rice paper.

At that moment, he really wanted to say "I'm sorry." The three words seemed to be on the tip of his tongue, but they were blocked in his throat by an invisible hand, and he couldn't get them out.

Luo Qingchuan knew perfectly well that no matter what he said now, he could not make up for the deep-seated trauma he had inflicted on Luo Shisan when they were children.

Those wounds are like scars etched by time; though old, they can never be erased.

"If Your Highness has nothing else to attend to, please leave my humble courtyard. I cannot possibly accommodate such a powerful figure as you."

Luo Shisan's voice remained as cold and indifferent as a frosty night.

"I heard you have a younger brother."

Luo Qingchuan remained silent for a long time before slowly raising his eyes. His expression was somewhat complicated, and he spoke in a soft but heavy voice.

These words were spoken.

Luo Shisan's face was instantly filled with a surging, murderous aura.

The malevolent aura was so intense it seemed to solidify, making her originally beautiful face appear exceptionally ferocious and terrifying.

In the next instant, her figure flashed like lightning, instantly appearing in front of Luo Qingchuan.

"Luo Qingchuan!"

She shouted angrily, her voice so sharp it seemed to tear the sky apart, carrying endless rage and warning.

"I'm warning you, if you still want to bully me like you did when we were kids, fine! I'm weak, I can't fight you, I, Luo Shisan, accept that. But! If you dare to lay a finger on my brother, I'll fight to the death rather than stand by and do it!"

Luo Shisan's tone was extremely cold, and every word seemed to be squeezed out with all her might from between her tightly clenched teeth.

The resolute determination within it was like a blizzard in the dead of winter, cold and violent.

Luo Qingchuan stared motionlessly at the face covered in frost before him, and at the chilling warning that seemed to come from the deepest abyss.

Those eyes held a will as firm as steel.

It was as if they were making a vow with their lives, using all their strength to protect the most precious thing in their lives that could not be violated in the slightest.

Luo Qingchuan's face remained calm, showing not even the slightest hint of anger.

Deep down, he sighed softly once again.

Luo Shisan has really changed. She is no longer the timid, cowardly, submissive little girl who would silently shed tears when bullied by others.

Today, she is like a resilient blade of grass that grows tenaciously in the midst of a storm; she has grown so much.

"It seems you two have a really good relationship."

Luo Qingchuan smiled gently, a smile that carried a hint of warmth, attempting to ease the slightly tense atmosphere.

He said this simply to find a suitable topic to continue the conversation with Luo Shisan and break the somewhat awkward silence.

"Don't be nervous, I can't do anything. You're not the same Luo Shisan you used to be, and I'm not the same ignorant Luo Qingchuan I used to be either."

Luo Qingchuan continued, his eyes full of sincerity, and his voice exceptionally gentle.

Luo Shisan remained silent, but his cold eyes spoke volumes.

Ugh!

Luo Qingchuan sighed softly in his heart, the sigh seemingly carrying endless sorrow and helplessness, echoing in his mind.

Then, he slowly took something out of his pocket, his movements as gentle as if he were holding the most precious treasure in the world.

It was a blue lotus, radiating a soft light, dreamlike and enchanting, inspiring longing in anyone who looked at it.

"This is the Enlightenment Lotus. Keep it with you to improve your cultivation, increase your comprehension, and enhance your spiritual power, protecting you from external pollution. This is a small token of my appreciation for our reunion."

Luo Qingchuan spoke softly, his eyes filled with a mixture of anticipation and caution, as if he were worried that Luo Shisan would refuse the gift.

"I don't need anything from you. Take your things back and leave."

Luo Shisan said coldly, her voice as if carrying the cold wind of December, icy and resolute.

With her brows furrowed and her eyes filled with vigilance and suspicion, she had no idea what Luo Qingchuan's intentions were, and besides, she didn't care about such things at all.

In her view, any gift Luo Qingchuan gave might have hidden ulterior motives.

Qingyu, who was standing to the side, had been staring at the lotus flower ever since it was taken out.

A deep look of shock appeared in her pupils, a shock that surged like a raging storm in her eyes.

She had heard her master talk about the wonders of this world, and coincidentally, this blue lotus was one of them.

This item is extremely rare and hard to come by. It is said to grow at the extreme cold peak of the Northern Region, a place filled with violent cold currents all year round, known as the coldest place in the cultivation world.

Even highly skilled cultivators cannot stay inside for more than a day.

Moreover, only two or three of these plants might grow in a thousand years, and even if you were lucky enough to obtain one, you would need to be enveloped in extreme cold at all times.

Otherwise, it will melt away in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, thus losing its spirituality.

What Qingyu couldn't understand was how Luo Qingchuan had managed to bring the green lotus out intact.

However, the next second, Luo Qingchuan seemed to be able to read her mind and took the initiative to explain for her.

Luo Qingchuan carefully took out a jade-white bead from the center of the delicate petals of the green lotus and said softly, "This is the Nine Yin Profound Spirit Bead. Like the green lotus, it is a naturally formed object that grows in the Yin Earth. It can emit extreme cold at all times, which is perfect for combining with the green lotus."

"This Nine Yin Profound Spirit Pearl is the most crucial source of the rare Heavenly Yin Physique. You are fully capable of extracting its source power to create a unique physique for yourself that is in no way inferior to the Heavenly Yin Physique."

Luo Qingchuan continued speaking slowly and deliberately, his voice steady and gentle, like a gently flowing stream.

It was as if what was being told was not some earth-shattering secret, but just an ordinary, commonplace matter.

Throughout this time, his gentle gaze remained fixed on Luo Shisan without ever shifting even for a moment.

Upon hearing this, Qingyu's luscious red lips involuntarily parted slightly, and her heart was once again deeply shaken.

It should be known that either of these two items, if taken out, would certainly be enough to cause a great sensation in the entire cultivation world.

Even among those powerful and well-established dynasties, they are extremely rare.

Unexpectedly, Luo Qingchuan alone possessed these two rare treasures.

What she found most incomprehensible was that he would give it all to Luo Shisan so readily and without reservation.

However, Luo Shisan's expression remained unchanged, cold and indifferent.

Her eyes remained icy cold, as if the two priceless treasures before her were nothing more than ordinary objects, unable to stir even the slightest ripple in her heart.
