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

"Lingyi, go tell everyone I'm alright."

Shen Shuchou spoke, his voice steady and gentle, knowing that everyone in the manor was worried about his situation.

Upon hearing this, Xia Lingyi's expression changed slightly. She looked at Fifth Shushuang with reluctance in her eyes.

She didn't want to go; she just wanted to spend more time with Shen Shuchou.

Fifth Shu Shuang also noticed Xia Lingyi's expression. She felt a pang of sadness and gave a bitter smile, saying, "Brother Shen, I'll go."

After saying that, she was about to get up, but Shen Shuchou grabbed her hand.

That hand was warm and strong, as if giving her a sense of reassurance.

"Xia Lingyi, go quickly."

Shen Shuchou looked at Xia Lingyi and continued, his tone leaving no room for refusal.

When Shen Shuchou called her out again, she finally showed a reluctant expression on her face and left.

The door closed, and the room became much quieter.

"Are you alright?"

After Xia Lingyi left, Shen Shuchou looked at Fifth Shu Shuangdao.

Fifth Shu Shuang lowered her head slightly and said, "I'm fine."

Her voice was soft, but it carried a hint of timidity.

But after a few moments, she said again, "I'm sorry! It was my sister and I who caused trouble for Brother Shen."

Her voice grew softer and softer, and her head bowed even lower, as if the guilt was about to crush her.

Hearing her apology, Shen Shuchou gently stroked her head and said, "It's not your fault. From the moment I decided to bring you back to the Shen family, I never cared about any trouble."

His hand slid down her hair, his movements incredibly gentle.

"But... if it weren't for my sister and me, Brother Shen wouldn't have suffered like this."

Fifth Books continued in a low voice.

Shen Shuchou smiled and said, "No buts. I won't blame you, nor will I blame Qinghan."

Then, Shen Shuchou gently lifted her chin with his hand, making her tearful eyes look at him at eye level.

His gaze was firm yet gentle as he said, "Just like that first encounter, I will never regret choosing you all, no matter what happens afterward."

Upon hearing these words, Fifth Shushuang could no longer hold back and threw herself into Shen Shuchou's arms.

Her body trembled slightly, and her long-suppressed emotions surged forth like a flood breaking through a dam.

These days, Fifth Shushuang is not only facing Xia Lingyi's sharp words.

There were also strange looks from the people in the mansion, looks filled with suspicion and disdain, as if she were an ominous person.

Although Wang Lan and Shen's father had both comforted her with warm and sincere words, Wu Shushuang still sensed something was amiss in their eyes.

That subtle, almost imperceptible change, like a tiny crack, left a scar on her already fragile heart.

Furthermore, the changes in Fifth Qinghan have led to Shen Shuchou, who once saved the two sisters, now lying in bed with his life hanging in the balance.

All of this strongly condemns Fifth Book Shuang's inner thoughts.

The last time this suffocating despair appeared was when the Fifth Family was destroyed.

At that time, she and her sister seemed to have fallen into an endless abyss of darkness, and embarked on a journey of escape amidst the overwhelming wind and snow.

Just when they were almost swallowed by despair, Shen Shuchou appeared, like a ray of dawn piercing the darkness, illuminating their world and dispelling the biting wind and snow.

However, later on, this light almost dissipated because of her and her sister.

Now that light has reawakened, it still firmly tells her that none of this is her fault.

Just then, the door clicked open, and several figures pushed it open and entered.

The visitors were Wang Lan, Shen Zhoucheng, and others; even Shen Jianxing came into the room.

"Shu Chou, how are you feeling?"

Wang Lan rushed to Shen Shuchou's side immediately, grabbed his hand, and asked with concern.

Her hands trembled slightly, and her eyes were full of worry, as if she could only feel at ease after personally confirming that Shen Shuchou was alright.

Shen Shuchou smiled slightly and said, "Mother, I'm alright now."

After a thorough examination and persistent questioning from everyone, it was finally confirmed that Shen Shuchou was truly alright.

However, the name of Fifth Qinghan was inevitably mentioned, but Shen Shuchou avoided the topic and said nothing.

During their brief conversation, Shen Shuchou also learned that Shen Xuejian had not returned since leaving the Shen family a month ago.

A slight worry rose in Shen Shuchou's heart at this, as their last meeting was also in the extremely cold wilderness.

At that time, Shen Xuejian and Wu Qinghan were both seriously injured, but Shen Shuchou was only worried about Wu Qinghan.

But thinking back, Elder Chen was there at the time, so Shen Xuejian shouldn't have been in any serious trouble.

After everyone left the room, Shen Shuchou asked Fifth Shushuang about what had happened.

According to her, after Shen Shuchou's clone left, a beautiful woman who claimed to be the sect leader of Haoyue Yijian Sect descended and took Shen Xuejian away.

Hearing this, Shen Shuchou was finally certain that she was truly alright.

"Brother Shen, can you teach me cultivation?"

The fifth book is the Double Way.

Upon hearing this, Shen Shuchou nodded without any hesitation.

The Fifth Book Double should now have entered the stage of cultivation.

At the same time, in the frigid wasteland that Shen Shuchou had just left, a figure suddenly appeared.

The man seemed to know everything that was happening here, and walked straight toward the cabin in the snow valley.

The Fifth Qinghan, who was inside the house, sensed an unfamiliar atmosphere from the outside. She went outside and found a young man and a little girl there.

The young man, Wu Qinghan, might not have any impression of him, but he had a strong impression of the little girl.

That was the Demon Cherry Blossom, with whom she had two encounters.

The young man beside her was none other than Shan Chi, the Lord of the Death Court.

Upon seeing the two, Fifth Qinghan's eyes turned cold, and a demonic aura emanated from his body.

That demonic power was like a surging tide, carrying endless chill and oppression.

"Hey! Little sister, how can you be so rude? You didn't even invite your older sister in for a seat."

Upon seeing this, Mo Ying smiled slightly, her smile carrying a hint of provocation.

"Get out of here."

Fifth Qinghan ignored her words, her red lips parted slightly, accompanied by a powerful demonic aura, and cold words followed immediately.

Although her demonic heart is still damaged and recovering, this demonic power still made Mo Ying show a look of fear on her face.

Compared to Mo Ying, Shan Chi appeared unusually calm, but deep in his eyes lurked an undisguised greed.

"I'm here to help you."

"Dan Chi's voice was low and deep," he said.

Fifth Qinghan stared at him coldly, his tone indifferent: "I don't need your help."

After saying that, she turned around and prepared to go back into the house.

The dangerous aura emanating from Shan Chi made her reluctant to confront him easily. Conserving her energy and reclaiming Shen Shu Chou was her top priority.

Despite being rejected, Shan Chi's expression remained unchanged, and her voice remained calm: "Are you willing to watch your sister monopolize the man you like?"

These words were like a sharp dagger, piercing straight into Fifth Qinghan's heart.

She paused, her face growing even colder, and asked without turning her head, "What exactly do you want?"

"I told you, I'm here to help you. I can help you quickly increase your strength, clear away all obstacles, and even... help you get rid of your sister."

Of course, this was just a trick he used to deceive Fifth Qinghan.

After this incident, Shan Chi decided to stop standing idly by. His goal was to use Fifth Qinghan's deepest desires to drag her into the Death Court.

He wanted to enable Fifth Qinghan to further stimulate the dark side of his inner world in a short period of time.

Once the two world wills within Fifth Qinghan and Fifth Shushuang's bodies have matured, he will let them devour each other, and that will be the time for him to make his move.

Therefore, Shan Chi not only needs to stimulate the power within Fifth Qinghan, but also needs to completely pit her against Fifth Shushuang.
