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

"elder sister……"

"My lord..."

"Qinghan... I'm so scared..."

The broken calls faded in my ears, and the light and shadow before my eyes receded like the tide.

Fifth Qinghan clearly sensed that her consciousness was about to leave this soon-to-be-cold body.

At this moment, the Fifth Book's dormant divine sense seemed to be disturbed by this dissipating life force, as if it had a premonition that something precious was about to be lost forever.

The originally slow recovery suddenly accelerated, creating subtle yet urgent ripples in the sea of ​​consciousness.

"boom--!"

A deafening roar suddenly exploded!

Fifth Qinghan's consciousness, like a startled swan breaking free from its restraints, suddenly burst out of the sea of ​​souls, completely detaching itself from this body that was on the verge of slumber.

In that instant, in the deepest part of the sea of ​​souls, eyes that had been closed for who knows how long suddenly opened, their light piercing through the chaos.

Fifth Book Shuang suddenly regained control of her body, but before her consciousness could fully clear from the long-standing slumber, a tremendous power surged around her.

The powerful yet gentle current surged in like a tide, softly enveloping her in its center.

The next instant, Hu Baibai's figure quietly appeared, her fluffy, snow-white fox tail gently encircling her and protecting her.

Fox White caught the fifth book steadily, but its gaze turned coldly downwards.

That wisp of divine thought, unique to Fifth Qinghan, was like a butterfly with broken wings, constantly falling into nothingness.

There was not a trace of pity in her eyes, nor any intention to protect her.

Separating Fifth Qinghan's consciousness from this body was a method she and the other women used together.

The actions that Fifth Qinghan took when she kidnapped Shen Shuchou had already touched her insurmountable sore spot.

Such behavior can never be easily forgiven.

But she didn't immediately take action to completely crush that lingering resentment.

At this moment, she clearly saw the fear churning within that divine thought, and that was the punishment she desired.

Let this fear, like a leech, accompany Fifth Qinghan in this vast, dark galaxy.

An endless fall, a descent into ruin!

......

......

"boom--!"

The terrifying fist energy tore through the sky, forcefully creating a hideous rift in the air currents before it.

In the terrified gaze of that forbidden creature, the punch, carrying the power to destroy the world, struck its body without mercy.

In an instant, the black blood and bits of flesh exploded into a cloud of blood mist under this terrifying attack.

Amidst the swirling blood mist, the figure in the blood-stained Taoist robe resembled a demon god descending from hell, the terrifying aura surging around him causing the void to tremble slightly.

His eyes, burning with overwhelming killing intent, swept across the surroundings, and the whisper that escaped his throat was as cold as ice: "Get out of here, all of you!"

The sound wasn't loud, yet it pierced the surrounding darkness like a thunderclap.

In the shadows, countless greedy yet fearful eyes were fixed on Shen Shuchou, who appeared as if a demon god had descended to earth.

Due to his overwhelming strength, for a time no one dared to make a move.

But the deathly silence was eventually broken, and a sinister voice came from the depths of the darkness: "Hmph! We are all forbidden, why should you have her all to yourself? Why not... share this pleasure with us?"

Shen Shuchou suddenly turned his head, his gaze like a poisoned blade piercing the darkness.

He didn't utter a word, but a sinister smile curled at the corner of his mouth. The next second, he slightly bent his body and stomped his foot!

"Buzz!"

The air thudded as he stepped on the ground, and his figure vanished like a ghost.

When it reappeared, its fist, accompanied by the sharp whistling of a raging wind, hovered before the face of that forbidden creature.

The forbidden creature's pupils constricted sharply, and in its panic, it roared, "You dare kill me? I am the follower of the Demon Raven Lord!"

The moment the words left his mouth, a low murmur arose from the surrounding darkness.

Everyone knows that in this forbidden land, the most terrifying being is none other than the Demon Raven Lord, who resides deep within the Abyss Temple.

He is the true master of this place.

Upon hearing this, Shen Shuchou paused slightly, his brows furrowing instantly.

For nearly a month, the feeling of being secretly watched has been a constant companion.

The occasional glimpses of crows seen outside the courtyard have now finally come together in a line.

It turned out that he had already been targeted by the Demon Raven Lord of the Forbidden Abyss.

"Hmph! Now that you know I'm the follower of the Demon Raven Lord, you should be smart enough to hand over that little girl!"

Seeing Shen Shuchou stop, the forbidden figure immediately became arrogant.

"Hand over the person, and I might put in a good word for you with Lord Yuan."

Before it finished speaking, several pairs of eyes belonging to crows in the shadows were taking in everything that was happening there.

In the distant Abyss Temple, atop the black throne, a demonic figure merging into the shadows watched this scene unfold through countless raven-like eyes.

He is the Lord of the Demon Raven Abyss, as the taboo speaks.

Seeing Shen Shuchou stop in his tracks, he curled his thin lips into a low chuckle: "Will you kill me, or not?"

"Brother, who are you talking to? What's with all this talk about killing?"

A clear, sweet voice suddenly rang out from beneath the throne, like a honey-coated pebble abruptly breaking the silence in the hall.

Upon hearing the sound, the demon crow turned its head sharply, its gaze falling on the area beneath the throne—where a young girl was standing.

She was slender, with a youthful innocence in her eyes and a pure beauty in her youthful face; she looked no more than ten years old.

"Why are you awake?"

The raven's voice instantly lost its previous coldness, taking on a subtle gentleness.

"I don't know either, I just woke up suddenly."

The girl tilted her head and stared intently at him.

"Brother, what were you saying? Are you going to kill someone again? You promised me you wouldn't kill anyone again."

"Since I promised you, I will not go back on my word."

The raven's tone grew increasingly gentle.

"I don't believe it."

The girl was clearly not convinced. She took small steps to stand in front of him, looked up at him, and pressed him for an answer.

"What exactly did you mean by that? I want the truth."

"You misheard, your brother didn't say anything."

The demon crow tried to gloss over the matter.

But the girl's eyes were fixed on his face, and suddenly, as if she had caught something, she pouted and said, "You must have seen something! I don't care, I want to see! If you don't let me see, I'll never talk to you again!"

The crow was hit where it hurt by these words and immediately panicked.

Looking into the girl's stubborn eyes, he had no choice but to let a stream of blood-red light flow from his eyes, projecting the outside world in front of her.

The girl's attention was immediately drawn to the light and shadow. When she first saw the grotesque and forbidden objects in the scene, she instinctively shrank back.

But when his gaze swept over the figure in the blue Taoist robe, he was struck dumb as if by lightning, and froze on the spot, forgetting even to breathe.

"Brother...you lied to me..."

The girl's voice trembled as it drifted softly through the hall.

The demon crow froze, its heart skipping a beat.

In his panic, he forgot the most crucial thing.

"Didn't you say that there are no humans left in this world long ago?"

The girl's gaze was fixed on the figure in the blue Taoist robe in the light and shadow, tears already streaming down her cheeks: "Who is he? Who...who is this person?"

The questions were like fine needles, piercing the demon crow until it was speechless.

He opened his mouth, but his throat felt blocked, and he could only utter broken, breathy sounds: "I..."

Gazing at the girl's tearful face, the Demon Raven's silence grew even deeper.

To him, this girl was never just a younger sister.

Her existence was intertwined with his deep-seated obsession with revenge; she was Gu Qingran, the younger sister of Gu Jian, the number one swordsman in this world.

Gu Jian, the domineering sword immortal who suddenly appeared on the path to immortality.

He was as cold as ice, and his sword could cleave through heaven and earth. He had even razed several forbidden lands, making him a terrifying figure feared by all forbidden creatures.

Sixteen years ago, Demon Raven clashed with him head-on, but was utterly defeated by his three sword strikes. Not only was his strength greatly diminished, but he also lost most of his destiny.

In retaliation against Gu Jian, Mo Ya secretly kidnapped Gu Qingran, who was still an infant, after the war.

He originally intended to use the baby girl as a pawn to set up a deadly trap for Gu Jian.

But as sixteen years passed and they spent each other's company every day, the murderous intent of revenge was gradually worn away by tenderness.

His feelings for Gu Qingran had already subtly changed. In addition to brotherly care, a hint of romantic feelings between a man and a woman had also sprouted, which he himself dared not admit.

But he was ultimately a taboo, separated from the human race by an insurmountable chasm, and this relationship was destined to be fruitless from the very beginning.

He could only desperately suppress the throbbing in his heart and keep her firmly by his side.

Using the lie that there are no more humans in the world, they wove a cage that she could never escape.

Now that the lie has been exposed, he looked at the disappointment and confusion in Gu Qingran's eyes and felt a dull ache in his heart.

"I want to see him."

Gu Qingran pointed to the figure in the blue Taoist robe in the light and shadow, her tone filled with an undeniable stubbornness.

"no."

The crow blurted it out almost without thinking.

Gu Qingran looked up at him, her tears wiped away, leaving only a cold disappointment: "Brother, how long are you going to lie to me? How long are you going to keep me locked up here?"

That gaze was like a fine needle, gently pricking his heart, causing a dense, throbbing pain.

The demon raven's Adam's apple bobbed, and his tone softened: "Then...brother, bring him to you, okay?"

"not good."

Gu Qingran shook her head, took a step forward, and asked in a trembling voice.

"I want to see him myself. Tell me, where is he?"

Just as the demon crow was struggling with its dilemma, the scene in the light and shadow suddenly changed dramatically.

Shen Shuchou stared at the clamoring forbidden object in front of him, a cold smile suddenly appearing on his lips, and his fist slammed out again without warning.

That forbidden thing never expected that this person would dare to make a move after hearing the name of the Lord of the Demon Crow Abyss!

"boom!"

The violent power crushed the forbidden object like an ant, instantly turning it into a cloud of blood mist.

Shen Shuchou slowly withdrew his fist, his voice as cold as iron: "Then let him come to see me in person."

He swept his gaze around again, his voice booming like thunder: "If you don't get out of here within three breaths, you'll all be buried with us!"

Before the words were even finished, the surrounding darkness receded as if the tide had gone out, and the hidden forbidden things had already vanished without a trace.

Having resolved the trouble, Shen Shuchou skillfully condensed the scattered forbidden power into blood beads and collected them before turning and leaving the desolate place.

Upon returning to the Taoist temple, as soon as I pushed open the courtyard gate, a petite figure came into view.

"I'm hungry!"

Tantai Chigu's clear voice, tinged with a hint of coquettishness, was like a pebble thrown into Shen Shuchou's just-calmed state of mind, creating a slight ripple.

The icy coldness on Shen Shuchou's face melted instantly, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips. He habitually squatted down, wanting to pat her little head.

But Tantai Chigu nimbly stepped back, leaving his hand hanging in mid-air, missing its target.

The little girl's face was expressionless. She pointed to her head and repeated, "I'm hungry."

Seeing this, Shen Shuchou couldn't help but chuckle helplessly.

This was clearly a deal to be made; only by giving him food would he allow her to touch her little head.

Without hesitation, he casually pulled out a blood bead that shimmered with a faint light from his pocket.

Tantai Chigu's eyes lit up, and he immediately ran over with his short legs. His little hands snatched the blood droplet with lightning speed and stuffed it into his mouth without thinking.

The little girl swallowed the blood bead in a few bites, a satisfied expression on her face.

There are now only two types of cultivation methods left in this world. One is the orthodox cultivation path, which has long since disappeared, and cultivators who follow this method are now extremely rare.

Secondly, there is the path of cultivation that feeds on taboos—just as taboos prefer to devour humans with cultivation potential, there are also humans who use taboos as nourishment.

However, this latter method has extremely serious drawbacks: at best, it shortens one's lifespan and causes one's hair to turn white overnight.

Those who are seriously injured will be devoured by the forbidden and ferocious power on the spot, either exploding and dying, or becoming new taboos with hideous appearances.

Tantai Chigu's cultivation involved feeding on forbidden foods, yet she completely avoided those terrifying side effects and remained unharmed.

This is because she is inherently the most terrifying primordial taboo, but she has not yet fully taken shape.

After swallowing the blood bead, the little girl blinked her big eyes at Shen Shuchou, but seeing that Shen Shuchou was unmoved, she knew that there was only one left.

But the little girl still obediently walked up to Shen Shuchou, took his hand and gently placed it on her head to rub it.

Shen Shuchou chuckled again as he watched her slowly satisfied yet reluctant expression.

The month I spent with this little girl was indeed as difficult as he had imagined, but overall it was alright.

Little did he know that Tantai Chigu was secretly plotting his own scheme.

In her eyes, Shen Shuchou was far more alluring than any blood bead; it was a deeper nourishment that she instinctively craved.

But she can't eat him right now, yet this food keeps finding food to fill her stomach.

Since that's the case... why not let him support himself for now?

Once you've nurtured yourself strong enough, then you can devour this tempting feast in one gulp.

Thinking this, the little girl couldn't help but lick her lips, a sly glint in her eyes.
