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

Shen Shuchou had long ago keenly sensed that in that inconspicuous dark place, there was a pair of eyes full of spying intent, staring at him like a ghost.

However, he remained calm and pretended to be completely unaware of everything.

But right now, Shen Shuchou knew perfectly well that the arbiter of his life was about to arrive with a merciless aura.

Faced with his impending death, Shen Shuchou showed no sign of resistance, nor did he make any attempt to evade it.

Because deep in his soul, he understood that all of this was his inescapable destiny.

However, at this moment, Ao Zi's true essence still quietly resides in the depths of her heart.

He knew that if he died, she would surely be discovered.

The immediate priority is to safely send Ao Zi away.

He didn't want to innocently involve other people's lives or deaths, and he didn't want Ao Zi to fall into an abyss because of him.

"Don't...kill...me..."

The member of the Void God Cult looked terrified and begged for mercy, trembling.

"sorry!"

Shen Shuchou said softly.

Shen Shuchou then gave him no further chance to speak and easily took his life.

"Now that you have the body, the rest of the journey is up to you."

Shen Shuchou said.

But to everyone's surprise, Ao Zi shook her head and refused, saying, "No!"

Her voice was filled with stubbornness and unease.

"If you don't go, wouldn't this person have been killed for nothing?"

Shen Shuchou continued to persuade him.

"He was a bad guy to begin with, um... he deserved to die."

Ao Zi said, her voice firm, but a slight tremor could still be heard.

"And I want to be with you."

Ao Zi added in a low voice, her voice barely audible, yet filled with an unusual feeling.

"Follow me, and you will die."

Upon hearing this, Shen Shuchou remained silent for a moment before speaking.

At this moment, the throbbing feeling in his heart grew stronger, like surging waves, one after another.

This only means that person is getting closer and closer to you.

"I'm not afraid, I can lend you all my strength."

Ao Zi's tone was firm and persistent. Even if she were stupid or foolish, she could clearly perceive the problem at this moment.

However, after spending a month together, Ao Zi unknowingly developed a slight attachment to Shen Shu Chou.

Moreover, she is still in his heart, allowing him to feel Shen Shuchou's character more directly and deeply.

This was also the first time Ao Zi had spent so much time with a human. During this unique period, many different emotions quietly took root and sprouted in her heart.

"Didn't you say you wanted to go back to the Dragon Palace? If you die here, you won't even see your parents again. Ao Zi, you're not alone."

Shen Shuchou looked anxious and spoke urgently.

"I......"

Ao Zi's body trembled violently, her eyes filled with hesitation and inner conflict.

"Go quickly! I'll be fine, trust me."

Shen Shuchou continued to persuade him, his voice filled with a reassuring strength.

Having said all that, Ao Zi reluctantly nodded.

It then slowly emerged from Shen Shuchou's body and re-entered the body of the Void God Cult member.

Without Ao Zi's original essence, Shen Shuchou's power instantly deflated like a punctured balloon, leaving him looking extremely weak, as if a gust of wind could blow him over.

Ao Zi looked at the new body with disgust, but still quickly helped Shen Shuchou up, her face full of worry, and asked, "Are you really okay?"

"Don't worry! I won't lie to you."

Shen Shuchou forced a smile, trying to reassure Ao Zi.

Ao Zi didn't speak, but just stayed quietly to the side, her gaze never leaving Shen Shuchou.

Why aren't you leaving yet?

Shen Shuchou glanced at her and said with some helplessness.

"Please don't send me away, okay? I just want to stay with you a little longer."

Ao Zi lowered her head and said softly, her voice carrying a hint of grievance and reluctance.

"Alright! Let's leave already! This five-hundred-year-old dragon is acting like a child."

Seeing that she still didn't want to leave, Shen Shuchou's tone became more serious, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Well... I'm leaving..."

Ao Zi said softly, her voice full of disappointment.

"Let's go."

Shen Shuchou waved his hand casually, looking somewhat tired.

"Will I be able to find you there again next time?"

Ao Zi took a step back and then stopped, her eyes filled with anticipation and unease.

"able."

Shen Shuchou gave a brief reply.

"Then you can't lie to a dragon, especially a five-hundred-year-old one."

Ao Zi said loudly, her tone carrying a hint of stubbornness.

When Shen Shuchou saw Ao Zi using her previous words to retaliate, he found it somewhat amusing and simply nodded without saying anything.

Ao Zi took one last serious look at Shen Shuchou, her gaze seemingly carrying a thousand words, as if she wanted to etch his image deeply into her heart, just as she had in his heart for a month.

Then, reluctantly, she swept away into the distance, her figure gradually disappearing into the distance.

After Ao Zi left, Shen Shuchou didn't rest either. He stood up, gently patted the dust off his robes, and then slowly walked to the other side.

After a while, Shen Shuchou climbed up a small hill, panting heavily.

His forehead was covered in sweat, and his breathing was slightly rapid.

He found a relatively conspicuous spot and lay down, a place with a wide view so that anyone who came would be able to spot him at a glance.

At this moment, the afterglow of the sunlight gently enveloped Shen Shuchou, like a soft veil, sprinkling onto his handsome and dashing face.

Unconsciously, Shen Shuchou closed his eyes slightly, his face relaxed, enjoying this brief and pleasant moment.

If there were a rocking chair at this moment, allowing him to more comfortably immerse himself in this tranquility, that would be perfect.

Time slips away silently, and no one knows exactly how much time has passed.

Above the sky, the remaining light, like a startled bird, fled in panic, as if an unfathomable fear awaited them ahead.

The inky black clouds surged in with overwhelming force in an instant.

Alas!

A biting cold wind raged violently through the void, simultaneously stirring the deepest chords of Shen Shuchou's soul.

This sudden and bizarre change was all due to the arrival of one person.

A bitter smile, tinged with the vicissitudes of life, appeared on Shen Shuchou's lips. He then slowly opened his eyes, which seemed to hold a deep, dark pool, concealing endless secrets and sorrow.

Not far from him, in the sky, Luo Shisan stood silently like a cold and lonely statue, his cascading black hair flowing freely over his shoulders.

Her exquisitely beautiful face was filled with indifference, like ice that had never melted for a thousand years.

With each step she took in the air, a dark black lotus appeared beneath her feet, dreamlike yet subtly eerie.

A few breaths later, Luo Shisan arrived in front of Shen Shuchou, bringing with him an icy aura that seemed capable of freezing the soul.

"Little brother...you lied to me..."

Luo Shisan parted her red lips slightly, her voice icy cold, devoid of any emotion, like an echo from the deepest abyss.

Shen Shuchou wore a faint smile, remaining silent, his eyes seemingly churning with countless thoughts.

"You shouldn't have lied to me, you shouldn't have lied to me..."

Luo Shisan spoke each word clearly, his voice shrill and filled with despair, like the howl of a wounded beast.

Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, carrying deep resentment and unwillingness, echoing endlessly over this open hilltop, lingering for a long time.

Then, she gripped Shen Shuchou's throat tightly with one hand like an iron clamp, slamming him to the ground and rendering him unable to move.

"Since you don't love me, you are still mine, and you can't escape anywhere."

Luo Shisan's cold eyes were fixed on Shen Shuchou's eyes like cold stars as he spoke in a chilling tone, full of obsession and madness.

"My sister loves you so much, why are you treating me like this? You can only belong to me, and you can never escape!"

"Kill me, Luo Shisan!"

Shen Shuchou suppressed the discomfort in his throat and smiled slightly.
