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

The snow gradually stopped, but the bone-chilling cold seemed to have taken root, lingering there.

On the snow-covered streets, many figures could still be seen scattered about.

Pedestrians wrapped their coats tighter and hurried along, hoping to add a touch of warmth to the bitter cold.

The biting wind stung people's cheeks, but it couldn't dispel the lively atmosphere that permeated the streets and alleys.

Three figures, one large and two small, strolled leisurely on the pristine snow.

Shen Shuchou walked ahead with his hands behind his back, but his gaze kept drifting back to the two girls he was leading.

Fifth Shu Shuang was dressed in a white brocade robe, and her beautiful face, which was just beginning to show its charm, bloomed with a gentle smile that seemed to dispel the chill in the surroundings.

Those captivating peach blossom eyes remained fixed on Shen Shuchou's tall and slender back. When she saw him turn around and look back, the smile in her eyes instantly blossomed like spring flowers, becoming even more intense.

The other girl she was leading was dressed in a black robe. Her small head was lowered, and her eyes were full of caution, like a frightened bird peeking at everything around her.

Compared to the poise and composure of the girl in white beside him, they were like two extremes.

She was like a fledgling cub leaving its warm nest for the first time, filled with fear and trepidation, so timid and hesitant.

In fact, this was indeed the first time that Fifth Qinghan had stepped out of the Shen family mansion and into the vast world outside.

In the mansion, she always hid herself in that cramped and small room.

The only way she could learn a little about the outside world was through that narrow little window and the occasional interesting stories her sister told her at night.

However, these observations and experiences were confined to the Shen family mansion.

Now, if Shen Shuchou hadn't resolutely dragged her out, given Fifth Qinghan's timid and shy nature, she would definitely still be cowering in that small corner, never daring to step out an inch.

The three of them had just stepped out of the Shen residence, walking and stopping along the way, occasionally exchanging a few words.

However, it was mostly Fifth Shu Shuang and Shen Shu Chou who were talking, while Fifth Qing Han pricked up her small ears, listening to their conversation while looking around with her bright and beautiful eyes.

However, soon, Fifth Qinghan's eyes were suddenly drawn to a certain object, and without realizing it, even his desire to eavesdrop vanished.

She hurriedly turned her gaze, but unfortunately met Shen Shuchou's eyes, and the girl's eyelashes trembled slightly.

"Want some?"

Shen Shuchou asked with a smile.

Fifth Qinghan turned to look at her older sister, Fifth Shushuang, who was also smiling at her. Embarrassed, she lowered her head, pursed her lips, and stammered, "No...no..."

"Brother Shen, I want some too, is that okay?"

Fifth Shu Shuang gently tightened her grip on her younger sister Qing Han's hand, conveying a sense of reassurance, before speaking to Shen Shu Chou.

"sure."

Shen Shuchou naturally understood that the key point was not whether Fifth Shushuang wanted to eat, but rather that it was for the little girl Qinghan.

After saying that, Shen Shuchou took the lead and walked to the stall, asking the owner for two pieces of crispy mountain pastry in a gentle tone.

The shopkeeper agreed and quickly handed over two pieces of crispy mountain pastry. Shen Shuchou turned around and handed them to the two girls behind him.

Seeing that her sister had already taken it, Fifth Qinghan gently took it from her hand as well.

Looking at the crispy mountain in her hand, Fifth Qinghan pursed her lips. She didn't actually want to eat it; she was simply attracted by its appearance.

The crispy mountain has layers upon layers on its surface, much like the texture of a snow-capped mountain. It is decorated with colorful leaves. Even before tasting it, its appearance alone is enough to attract people.

"Why aren't you eating?"

At that moment, Shen Shuchou's voice came from beside him.

Fifth Qinghan glanced at him, then quickly lowered her eyes, slowly put the Su Shan in her mouth and gently bit it.

It has a delicate and smooth texture, accompanied by a rich milky aroma.

The sweet taste made the girl's beautiful eyes narrow slightly, revealing a look of intoxication. On the other side, Fifth Shushuang was also amazed by the taste of the sweet treat in her mouth, her eyebrows and eyes filled with joy.

Shen Shuchou simply smiled calmly, then continued to lead the two girls on a leisurely stroll down the street.

The three hadn't gone far when they saw a group of people gathered ahead, whispering among themselves as if they were having a heated discussion, but the details remained a mystery.

Curiosity is an innate human trait that is hard for people of all ages and genders to resist.

As expected, Shen Shuchou and the two girls also joined the group.

A barefoot little girl, who looked about eight or nine years old, was standing in the corner where the crowd was watching. She was only wearing a tattered coat to keep warm.

"Oh dear! Whose child is this, so pitiful?"

"In this freezing cold, wearing only a tattered overcoat, he truly evokes pity."

"I wonder if there is any kind-hearted person who can take her in."

Everyone pointed at the little girl, chattering amongst themselves, their words full of sympathy and concern.

Fifth Shushuang, who was standing beside her, also witnessed the little girl's appearance. Seeing her so miserable, a ripple suddenly stirred in her heart.

This reminded her of herself; although she wasn't homeless like her, her fate was equally tragic.

If it weren't for Brother Shen beside her, she and her sister would be in who knows what situation they would be in, but their fate would certainly not be any better than this little girl's.

Shen Shuchou, who was standing beside her, seemed to sense the unease in Fifth Shushuang's heart. He gently squeezed the girl's small hand with his large hand.

He then handed some loose silver to the girl and gave her a reassuring look.

Fifth Shu Shuang instantly understood Shen Shu Chou's intention: she was to deliver it to the little girl.

Perhaps this is also a form of solace for one's past self.

Fifth Book Shuang's petite figure squeezed slightly into the crowd from the back.

She slowly knelt down in front of the little girl, her gaze gentle as she asked, "Why are you here all alone? Where are your parents?"

The little girl timidly raised her head, her eyes filled with fear and helplessness. Her lips were purple from the cold, and she said in a trembling voice, "I...I have no home anymore."

Upon hearing this, Fifth Shushuang felt a pang of sadness in her heart once again; these words were a reflection of herself.

She gently took the little girl's hand, placed the loose silver coins in her palm, and said, "Take care of yourself, and live on."

After saying that, Fifth Shushuang was about to get up and leave when the little girl's face suddenly became slightly anxious. She quickly said, "Sister, can you take me in? I can do anything."

Fifth Sister paused slightly, turned her head, and said with a heavy heart, "I'm sorry, I can't take care of you."

Upon hearing this, the little girl immediately lowered her head, but a glint of light flashed in her downcast eyes.

She was certainly not a homeless little girl struggling to survive in the freezing cold; her true identity was Mo Ying, one of the five guardians of the Demon Sect's Death Court.

Her purpose in coming here was undoubtedly for the girl with two bodies and one soul before her.

Although she could have easily taken the two away at that moment, she did not dare to make any rash moves.

The key reason for this lies with the young man in white robes. She did not know the extent of his strength and therefore dared not use her divine sense to investigate.

At a single glance, she knew that the other person was no ordinary person, for he exuded a chilling and dangerous aura.

But Mo Ying was naturally not willing to let the two leave so easily. Since they had come, she had to test them a little.

As a ghostly light flashed in her eyes, three figures in black robes suddenly appeared behind the crowd.

They exuded an extremely cold aura and strode forward at lightning speed, approaching Shen Shuchou and his companions.

At this moment, some passersby also saw them, but what awaited them was only a dark glint of a blade.

In an instant!

A flash of blood suddenly appeared in this snow-covered world, staining the pristine whiteness before them and startling everyone present.
