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

"You can't eat this!"

Shen Shuchou pressed one hand against his forehead, a hint of helplessness in his eyes, while his other hand firmly held down the head that was still wriggling restlessly beneath him.

The little guy let out a series of "woof woof" whimpers, his little mouth half-open, as if he were about to pounce on something at any moment.

Tantai Chigu didn't listen to what he said at all. His eyes were wide open, staring fiercely at Shen Shuchou, his eyes full of stubbornness that refused to give up.

Being blocked like this, the hair on my body seemed to stand on end, and a feeling of grievance and annoyance welled up inside me.

There's no reason to hold someone back from eating something delicious.

Seeing her unyielding attitude, Shen Shuchou felt even more helpless.

He had a premonition that his relationship with this little guy in this life would not be easy, but he did not expect that it would be such a tense stalemate right from the start.

Neither the big one nor the small one was willing to let up.

Shen Shuchou's hand still steadily supported her swaying little head, while Tantai Chigu's little hand seemed rooted to the spot, tightly gripping the still warm object.

"This can't go on forever," Shen Shuchou sighed softly, then helplessly pulled something out of a hidden pouch at his waist and opened it in his palm.

The next second, Tantai Chigu's eyes, which were still filled with a fierce light, suddenly froze, and all his attention was instantly drawn to the object in his palm.

It was a dark-colored blood bead lying quietly in Shen Shuchou's palm; it was the blood core that the mountain lord had condensed earlier.

This item was of little use to Shen Shuchou, but it held a fatal attraction for the little guy in front of him.

The forbidden power contained within the blood droplet was the perfect bait for her naturally forbidden body.

Sure enough, as soon as the blood droplet appeared, Tantai Chigu's small hand, which was gripping the object, suddenly loosened, and she stretched out her little arm, trying to pounce on it and snatch it.

Shen Shuchou was prepared. He slammed his palm together to collect the blood droplets, and at the same time released her head with his other hand. He used the momentum to lean back and steadily take half a step back.

Without support, the little guy immediately lost his balance and fell heavily onto the bed with a "thud".

The round little head hit the bedding without any cushioning, making a soft "thump".

But the little guy was quick and agile. He scrambled off the bed in a flash, his little face full of anger, and with a howl, he pounced on Shen Shuchou.

Helpless, Shen Shuchou reached out and pressed her little head down again, letting her two short arms wave wildly in the air, unable to reach him no matter what.

"What would you like to eat?"

Seeing her anxious look, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips, and suddenly felt like teasing her.

Upon hearing this, Tantai Chigu pointed his little finger without hesitation at the proudly erect thing beneath Shen Shuchou.

Shen Shuchou followed her fingertip and was immediately embarrassed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

He immediately held the blood droplet in his palm to her eyes, his expression turning serious: "It's not that you can't eat this, but you have to make a promise with me. If you agree, I'll give it to you."

But Tantai Chi Gu had no idea what an agreement was.

At that moment, she was like a little animal caught by a craving, with only food in her eyes.

Shen Shuchou patiently added, "Nod if you agree, otherwise you won't get a share."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Shuchou deliberately brought the blood droplet closer to his mouth, pretending to bite it.

Upon seeing this, Tantai Chigu's face instantly scrunched up, her eyes filled with struggle and resentment.

In the end, he couldn't resist and nodded his head repeatedly like he was pounding garlic, afraid that if he was a second late, he would miss out on the food.

"First, from now on, I will take care of you. My name is Shen Shuchou, and you must call me Dao Master," Shen Shuchou said solemnly.

Tantai Chigu stared at the blood droplets on his palm, her small lips pursed and she remained silent, as if she hadn't heard a thing.

"Secondly, from now on your name will be Tantai Chigu." Shen Shuchou patiently repeated the name again.

This time, the little guy finally reacted. His little mouth moved, and he mumbled silently, as if he was clumsily imitating his own name.

But that attention only lasted a moment—to her, what was a name more important than a blood bead? The craving in her eyes had long since overshadowed everything else.

Shen Shuchou saw her absent-minded appearance and knew exactly what was going on, but he wasn't in a hurry.

He has some experience in raising children, so we can take it slow.

"Since you've agreed, get out of bed obediently."

As soon as Shen Shuchou finished speaking, the little girl, for the sake of the blood bead she had been longing for, indeed stopped pestering him and scrambled off the bed with both hands and feet.

Standing on the ground with her little face tilted up, her big eyes were glued to him without blinking, like a little wolf cub staring intently at a bone.

Shen Shuchou lowered his head and straightened his clothes, which she had crumpled up, before getting up and getting out of bed.

"Give me!"

Tantai Chigu blurted out two words impatiently, her sweet, childlike voice full of urging.

Shen Shuchou turned around, a mischievous smile playing on his lips, but in front of her, he slowly put the blood droplet back into his pocket: "I said I'd make an agreement before giving it to you, but I didn't say we'd settle the agreement now."

Tantai Chigu's face stiffened abruptly, her round eyes instantly filling with anger, and her childish voice trembled with rage: "You lied to me!"

Shen Shuchou stepped forward, gently patted her fluffy little head, and said in a soft voice, "The Dao Master didn't lie to you. I'll teach you how to cook, okay?"

"What is cooking?"

Tantai Chigu frowned slightly and asked with a blank expression.

"Cooking is the ability to fill your belly."

Shen Shuchou couldn't help but laugh, and gently brushed her little nose with his fingertip.

As he spoke, he ignored the complex look of doubt in the little girl's eyes, reached out his big hand, gently took her soft little hand, and led her step by step slowly out of the room.

In the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, wisps of smoke rose from the courtyard of the Taoist temple.

White wisps of smoke drifted leisurely from the stove, rising high and gradually merging with the pale light just beginning to appear on the horizon, adding a touch of warmth to the cool morning air.

Tantai Chigu was placed on a rocking chair in the courtyard by Shen Shuchou. His small body leaned against it crookedly, and his pair of dark eyes stared unblinkingly at his busy back.

At this moment, the figure in front of her seemed really strange.

Even though it was her food, she refused to comply and instead tried to make some inexplicable agreements with her.

She didn't understand what an agreement was, but she could clearly feel an indescribable emotion emanating from him.

It wrapped itself around her like vines, both strange and intense, somewhat similar to her desire to devour him.

While she was still in a daze, her small, delicate nose suddenly began to twitch rapidly and uncontrollably.

A rich aroma of meat wafted on the wind, forcefully entering her nostrils and instantly making her stomach rumble.

"Alright, it's time to eat."

The next second, Shen Shuchou's cheerful voice rang in my ears.

He walked over carrying a plate of fragrant meat, its glossy color making the meat look especially tempting, and stopped steadily in front of Tantai Chigu.

The little guy's eyes were instantly drawn to the dish, his little mouth unconsciously pursed, and he made a soft swallowing sound in his throat, forgetting to even speak.

Seeing this, Shen Shuchou smiled and said, "This is what cooking is all you'll eat from now on."

As he spoke, he took her small hand and slowly walked into the house.

Although Tantai Chigu now has the appearance of a human child, he has no human cognition at all.

What Shen Shuchou had to do was teach her little by little how to live like a human being, and how to truly become a "human being".

As the two entered the house, a blood-red eye was fixed on the movement in the courtyard from an old tree outside the Taoist temple, its gaze filled with an unfathomable meaning.

In the deepest part of this forbidden land, a dark figure sat on a throne formed from blood.

Through his blood-red eyes, he saw everything clearly in the Taoist temple. He parted his thin lips and let out a low laugh: "Interesting, a human with forbidden power... Are you from that place?"

......

......

Beneath the pitch-black starry sky, a slender figure was rapidly falling, accompanied by gusts of wind.

The hem of her clothes was torn by the strong wind, fluttering loudly, like the wings of a dying butterfly struggling futilely in the night sky.

Fifth Qinghan felt his sea of ​​consciousness churning, and the wisp of divine thought that should have been closely connected with his physical body underwent a dramatic change.

At this moment, it's like a lone boat being tossed about by a rapid current, its warm body being peeled away bit by bit, each peeling bringing with it a piercing, dull pain.

In the darkness of the fall, a faint yet clear sense quietly emerged.

That was the divine consciousness of the Fifth Book, which had been submerged in darkness, breaking free from chaos and gradually reviving.

Sensing her sister's impending awakening, a complex expression crossed Fifth Qinghan's face.

She could clearly sense that her divine sense was rapidly withdrawing from this body, about to completely leave her sister and the husband she wanted to possess completely.

This time, there was no anger or deep-seated resentment in my heart, and even that unwillingness had vanished without a trace.

Her face was unusually calm, but that calm was instantly shattered by overwhelming fear.

Before she knew it, tears had welled up in her eyes and slid down her beautiful cheeks, completely blurring her vision.

"Sister... Husband... I'm scared... Qinghan is so scared..."

The faint murmurs trembled in the gale, carrying a childlike helplessness.

At that moment, she suddenly realized that perhaps she really was, as he had said, a coward who was afraid of losing things.
