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

As dusk settled and all was silent, only the faint cry of a crane, carried by the biting wind, swept past my ears.

The night wind was like a knife, whipping the girl's bangs into a mess, and tearing her turbulent thoughts to shreds.

Chu Siqi lowered her eyes, her eyelashes casting shadows on her pale face, and the cold moonlight could not penetrate the dark currents surging in her eyes.

She bit her lower lip lightly and said, "You may have met one of them before."

Upon hearing this, Shao Miao's expression changed slightly.

She didn't respond; she just stood there quietly, lost in thought.

"Was it that time in the classroom?"

Chu Siqi's words were like a key, clicking open a long-forgotten memory in Shao Miao's mind.

In a daze, she saw again the classroom door of her senior year of high school, the first light of dawn, being pushed open, and a girl in black, shrouded in cold air, walking in gracefully, her slender figure outlined by a black belt.

At that time, she was just a nobody, only glancing at the outline of the girl in black, and didn't even hear the conversation between the girl in black and Chu Siqi.

Looking back now, it's truly unexpected that the girl in black who flashed through my memory is now gone.

It turned out to be the very being that Chu Siqi had described as someone she was so wary of.

"That's right."

Chu Siqi responded softly, her voice seemingly carrying a subtle, complex emotion.

"What's her name?"

Shao Miao asked softly.

Chu Siqi slowly raised her head, and the cold moonlight poured down, illuminating the turbulent undercurrent in her eyes and staining that memory with a frosty hue.

In a daze, the figure of the girl in black overlapped with the moonlight, solidifying into three words that pierced the night: "Jiang Qianqiu".

"Jiang Qianqiu?"

Shao Miao gently rubbed the name between her lips and teeth.

For no apparent reason, I simply uttered those three words.

A bone-chilling cold suddenly gathered around her like a tidal wave.

It was as if even her blood had frozen into ice at that moment, causing her to tremble slightly.

"Wonderful!"

Just as the chill was creeping in, a familiar voice suddenly came from afar.

Upon hearing the sound, Shao Miao instantly broke free from this cold constraint.

I quickly turned my head and saw a woman standing at the entrance of the somewhat old residential area.

It was none other than her mother, Li Ming.

"I'm leaving now. If I ever have the chance to return here in the future, I think it would be very happy to be your ally."

As Shao Miao spoke, she slowly extended her palm, a faint smile appearing on her face.

Seeing this, Chu Siqi gently placed a hand on Shao Miao's hand, smiled in return, and said softly, "Have a safe trip! Shao Miao, I hope we'll meet again."

"goodbye!"

Shao Miao responded softly, then slowly withdrew her hand, turned around, and walked towards Li Ming on the other side.

The halo of the streetlights shattered into mottled stars at my feet, the closer I got to the depths of the shadows.

Li Ming's face became increasingly blurry, with only her eyes shining in the darkness.

"Mom, is it really necessary to leave?"

Shao Miao's voice was shattered by the cold wind.

"Um!"

Li Ming simply responded with a soft "yes".

Shao Miao was silent for a moment, then asked with a hint of expectation, "Do we have another chance to come back?"

"I'm not coming back."

"Why...?"

"No reason."

"But...."

"Miaomiao, Mommy is really going to die."

"I see."

.......

Chu Siqi watched Shao Miao's figure gradually disappear into the night. A cold wind blew by, and a touch of loneliness crept into her expression.

At that moment, the black Rolls-Royce slowly drove up from behind. The driver held his phone in one hand and hurriedly stepped forward with the other to respectfully open the back door.

Chu Siqi answered the phone, and soon Chu Tianxiong's deep voice, tinged with worry, came from the other end.

Hearing her father's voice, Chu Siqi's heart, which had been somewhat cold, felt as if it were gently enveloped by a warm current.

"Dad! I'm fine, I'm coming home right away."

Chu Siqi said softly, and then immediately climbed into the car to shut out the cold wind outside.

Just a few breaths later, the vehicle slowly started and quickly drove away from the somewhat quiet place, leaving only empty streets that looked even more desolate under the moonlight.

.......

.......

At this moment, Shen Shuchou was completely unaware that tonight's brush with Shao Miao was actually his farewell.

He returned home under the cover of night, and when he pushed open the door, warm yellow light poured out.

Besides the three women, there was a familiar figure huddled in the corner of the living room, head bowed, looking listless beneath his fluffy hair.

It lay quietly at Jiang Qianqiu's feet, its head drooping, looking preoccupied.

Hearing the door open, the dark figure slowly raised its head. Di Jing's amber pupils suddenly lit up.

Its tail thrashed wildly like a propeller, and it slid across the floor as it charged forward.

In an instant, a dog's gaze met his, its two dark pupils scrutinizing the person it had known for a long time.

It turned out that after what happened with Jiang Qianqiu, Di Jing was casually thrown into that cloud of black mist by her.

After such a long time, Jiang Qianqiu finally remembered it.

Shen Shuchou stared into Di Jing's amber pupils, and in that instant, he seemed to see a hint of grievance hidden deep within those deep pupils.

This scene made Shen Shuchou unable to suppress a smile.

Emperor Jing was originally a helper that little girl Jiang Qianqiu found to assist her, but who could have imagined that its fate would be so bumpy.

Not only was he severely bullied by Ao Zi, but he was also ruthlessly thrown into the black mist, and it was not until much later that he was able to see the light of day again.

You should know that Di Jing's true form is a majestic and awe-inspiring tiger-type demon!

However, now it has fallen so low as to be like a black dog that can only curl up at people's feet, which is both laughable and pitiful.

Seeing this, Shen Shuchou subconsciously reached out to pat Di Jing's head to comfort him.

But when Di Jing saw the faint smile on his lips, he mistakenly thought that Shen Shuchou was mocking him.

It immediately tossed its head, nimbly dodging the hand, and then a wide grin appeared on its lips beneath its amber pupils.

It bared its sharp teeth, looking menacing, as if it couldn't wait to bite Shen Shuchou to vent its anger.

But just as Di Jing had this thought, his gaze inadvertently swept over the three women behind Shen Shuchou, and he instantly wilted.

It knew very well that it dared not act rashly in front of these powerful figures.

Therefore, it could only dare to be angry but not speak out, and did not even dare to let out a low growl.

Left with no other choice, Di Jing hung his head again and slunk back along the same path, running to Jiang Qianqiu's feet, intending to lie down as before.

Jiang Qianqiu, however, found it somewhat of a nuisance. Without even glancing at it, he casually raised his foot and kicked Dijing to the other side.

Then, she rushed towards Shen Shuchou with light steps, and finally buried her head in Shen Shuchou's arms.

Di Jing watched this scene with a helpless expression, silently complaining in his heart: "......"

"Sir, why are you so late coming home today?"

Jiang Qianqiu pouted slightly, looking as if she had suffered a great injustice.

As she spoke, her little nose kept sniffing in Shen Shuchou's arms, as if searching for something.

Seeing this, Shen Shuchou gently pushed Jiang Qianqiu away.

Under her unhappy gaze, Shen Shuchou slowly picked up the bag in his hand and said with a smile, "I brought you some food."

Jiang Qianqiu's gaze was instantly drawn to the bag. The skewers inside were still warm, and a faint aroma was wafting from them.

Jiang Qianqiu couldn't help but swallow slightly. She was not only a girl with a quick temper, but also a total hidden foodie.

"You three share this, I'm going back to my room first."

As Shen Shuchou spoke, he handed the bag to Jiang Qianqiu and then turned and walked into the house.

Fox Baibai watched Shen Shuchou's actions, its fox eyes narrowing slightly.

Even with the enticing aromas masking the smell, Fox White still keenly detected a different scent.

That was the unique, youthful innocence of a young girl, fresh and elegant.

Hu Baibai glanced at Jiang Qianqiu, whose face was beaming with a happy smile, and then at Fifth Shushuang, who was smiling gently beside her. In the end, she said nothing.

"Hey! Fox White, are you going to eat or not?"

Jiang Qianqiu, holding a sizzling skewer of meat, asked Hu Baibai.

"I'm not eating it. I'm planning to have different kinds of meat skewers tonight!"

Fox White looked at Jiang Qianqiu's cute little face and answered with a smile.

"Nothing else tastes as good as this."

Upon hearing that Hu Baibai wasn't eating, Jiang Qianqiu, without saying a word, stuffed all the meat skewers in her hand into her mouth.

Because the meat skewers were quite large, her small mouth was stuffed full, and saliva even dripped from the corners of her mouth, making her speech unclear.
