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

Breakfast was quickly spent in silence. After packing some clothes, Shen Shuchou left Blackstone Town, where he had lived for four years.

Shen Shuchou didn't bring much; he only had two packages.

Most of the items were Jiang Qianqiu's clothes, even though Shen Shuchou promised to buy her more elsewhere.

Jiang Qianqiu was still reluctant to throw it away, saying that her husband had bought it for her.

Normally, if any of these clothes get a tear, Jiang Qianqiu would feel heartbroken for a long time and secretly wipe away her tears.

Before he left, Jiang Chashan gave him a horse-drawn carriage.

The two, one big and one small, boarded the carriage and, amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, drove away from Blackrock Town into the distance.

"Finally, that jinx is gone."

"You've kept us here for so long, we should have left long ago."

"If you ask me, I wish they had died on the way."

"That's damn good."

The townspeople behind them mocked and ridiculed them, even resorting to vicious language.

"Alright, everyone, say less," Jiang Chashan said, frowning.

This finally silenced the chattering crowd behind them.

The two people, one adult and one child, quickly drove the carriage away from Blackrock Town.

Jiang Qianqiu remained silent and depressed inside the carriage.

Shen Shuchou, on horseback, often heard the little girl's sad sobs coming from inside.

Shen Shuchou felt as if a giant hand was gripping his heart tightly, almost suffocating him.

He didn't know how to comfort him, because the pain in the second stage would only be greater.

He was getting closer and closer to death; leaving this world was almost imminent.

Before they knew it, the carriage had been traveling for a day, and their destination was now the Tianwu Dynasty.

That is, the most prosperous capital city, which is also the burial place where Shen Shuchou was about to die.

With each step the carriage took, Shen Shuchou's heart grew heavier.

the next day.

A dark cloud hung over Blackrock Town.

Just as dawn was breaking, a group of bandits appeared out of nowhere and barged in.

They killed anyone they saw without any explanation.

The sounds of fighting and screams echoed in the gray dawn sky.

Corpses and blood were scattered throughout the streets, staining the entire land red.

The bloody scene was as brutal as a living hell.

This one-sided massacre lasted a long time, and no one in Blackrock Town survived.

Shen Shuchou was unaware of this, and even if he had known, he wouldn't have been affected in the slightest.

If it weren't for the system, Shen Shuchou would have killed these people long ago.

Three days had passed in the blink of an eye, but fortunately they had brought enough dry rations.

Based on the distance, it will take at least four more days to get to the capital.

These past few days, apart from saying a few words during meals, Jiang Qianqiu usually hides alone in the carriage, looking sullen.

She was no longer clinging to Shen Shuchou like before, chattering incessantly beside him.

Shen Shu could only sigh helplessly at Jiang Qianqiu's changes.

"Sir, where are we going?"

Jiang Qianqiu stepped out of the carriage, her eyes vacant and listless.

Shen Shuchou affectionately patted the little head and said, "I'll take you to the capital."

"What is the capital like? Have you ever been there, sir? Could you tell Qianqiu about it?"

Jiang Qianqiu had never been anywhere else; in her world, Blackstone Town was the only place she knew.

There can only be room for Shen Shuchou in my heart.

"Sir, you haven't been there before, but it's a big and bustling place with lots of delicious food. When we get there, I'll buy you lots of good food and lots of pretty clothes."

Shen Shuchou had never been to the capital; he had lived in Blackstone Town since he was born into this world.

Although I've never been there, it is, after all, the capital of the Tianwu Dynasty, far surpassing this tiny place.

Will we have a home there too?

Jiang Qianqiu blinked and asked, her voice revealing a hint of longing for home.

After a moment of melancholy, Shen Shuchou replied, "Our home will be there, sir, I promise you."

Even though this promise will eventually disappear, Shen Shuchou still hopes that the little girl can be happy, at least for now.

Sure enough, Jiang Qianqiu's complexion gradually improved, and her mood slowly emerged from the gloom.

"Then I'll choose our home."

Jiang Qianqiu's voice carried a hint of cheerfulness.

"Okay!" Shen Shuchou agreed with a smile.

Xiao Jiang Qianqiu's sickly expression broke into a smile.

She was dreaming about what her home in the capital would be like.

There, no one should call her an unlucky woman anymore.

There, no one should be able to drive them out again.

I think I'll be happier there than in Blackrock Town.

What will the new home be like? Anyway, any home with my husband is the best home.

In the days that followed, Shen Shuchou could hear Jiang Qianqiu's incessant chatter.

Most of the discussions revolve around what kind of furniture to buy for a home in the capital and where to place it.

Then, I wonder if there are any unusual or interesting things in the capital city.

Shen Shuchou never found it annoying and always replied with a smile.

Five days have passed since we set off, and there are only two days left to reach the capital.

After passing through a lush, verdant forest, Shen Shuchou decided to stop and rest for a while.

The lush green space is perfect for the horses to enjoy a fresh start.

The sound of a babbling brook drifted from the east side of the woods.

After tying the carriage reins to a tree, Shen Shuchou took the water jug ​​and headed towards the direction of the stream.

"Sir, I want to go too."

Jiang Qianqiu, unable to stay still in the carriage, swaggered along and caught up.

As Shen Shuchou approached the woods, he discovered a temple there, which, judging from its dusty exterior, must have been in disarray for a long time.

As they passed the mountain temple, Shen Shuchou suddenly had a strange feeling that someone was staring at him from behind, but he didn't think much of it and continued walking with Jiang Qianqiu in his hand.

Soon, two figures, one tall and one short, landed by the flowing stream. Shen Shuchou, holding a water jug, caught the clear water cascading down the hillside from below the rocks.

"Sir, this place is so beautiful."

Jiang Qianqiu stared blankly at the clear stream winding among the green mountains and forests, like a silver ribbon.

Jiang Qianqiu had never seen such a sight in Blackstone Town.

Shen Shuchou said, "If you like it, then let's stay a little longer."

It's rare for Jiang Qianqiu to have a chance to see the scenery; once he arrives in the capital, he'll basically never see it again.

Jiang Qianqiu murmured, "It's a pity this isn't home."

Jiang Qianqiu also longed to stay here with her husband, but no matter how beautiful the scenery was, it couldn't compare to the warmth of home.

Shen Shuchou paused in his act of fetching water without replying.

A moment later, Shen Shuchou filled two water bottles and began to head back the way he came.

As he walked through the forest, Shen Shuchou could faintly hear the clanging of weapons clashing.

Shen Shuchou did not stop and continued to return along the same route.

But as they drew closer, the sound of clashing weapons grew ever louder.

The air smelled of blood, accompanied by a series of agonizing screams.

Shen Shuchou immediately stopped and hid to the side with Jiang Qianqiu.

Looking through the gaps in the tangled branches, two groups of people were now facing off in front of the dilapidated mountain temple.

Several corpses lay sprawled on the muddy ground.

Judging from the situation, the body on the ground should belong to the person on the left.

On the left were only two women dressed in gorgeous clothes and a guard holding a knife.

On the right, there were at least dozens of people, all dressed in plain clothes and carrying long swords, with fierce eyes.

This situation appears to be a case of bandits robbing a house.

Shen Shuchou, who was hiding in the shadows, suddenly frowned. This blocked his way back.

Moreover, the battle between the two sides has ended, so even if they take a detour now, they will be discovered as soon as they set off.

Shen Shuchou really didn't want to get involved in this, but a troublesome situation suddenly appeared in his way.
