The autumn morning mist was thick, and even the wind seemed to freeze at these words.

"Cha Cha and I have discussed it, and your wedding with her is coming up soon. You should make good preparations."

Seeing Shen Shuchou standing there in a daze, Su Jueluo repeated it again.

Shen Shuchou slowly came to his senses, looked up at him, and said in a calm but cold tone: "If you have a relapse early in the morning, go back to sleep."

Having said that, he didn't bother to look at Su Jue Luo's expression anymore, and turned to close the door, but Su Jue Luo's hands were already firmly pressed against both sides of the door frame.

"I'm serious. This is Chacha's intention, and it's also my intention."

Su Jue Luo stared intently at Shen Shu Chou's face, speaking each word clearly.

"I'm very serious about it too."

Shen Shuchou stared back defiantly.

"Su Jue Luo, if you're really sick, go get treatment. Don't get in my way here."

Upon hearing this, Su Jueluo recalled his sister's plea from back then, and his expression suddenly turned cold.

Without a word, she stepped into the courtyard, her wrist twirling sharply as she grabbed Shen Shuchou's collar and slammed him against the wall.

Their noses touched, their breaths mingling. Su Jueluo pursed her lips, her voice laced with suppressed anger: "You truly know nothing of Chacha's feelings for you?"

Even though he was firmly pinned against the wall, Shen Shuchou remained calm and composed, simply uttering two words: "I don't know."

As soon as the two words were spoken, Su Jueluo's beautiful eyes suddenly sharpened, and the chill around her instantly became as sharp as a knife, with a faint killing intent quietly spreading out.

Just then, inside the house behind them, Tantai Chigu was standing by the window.

The moment that hidden killing intent touched her senses, a faint aura emanated from her body, like an invisible thread that coiled around Su Jue Luo.

Su Jueluo felt a sudden chill run down the back of her neck. Just as she was about to turn her head to find the source, Shen Shuchou in front of her moved first.

He suddenly exerted force on his wrist, spinning Su Jue Luo, who was trying to turn her head, around completely.

He then pressed her back against the wall, using his own shadow as a screen to completely block out Tantai Chigu from view.

This sudden reversal made Su Jue Luo freeze.

Looking at Shen Shuchou, who had trapped himself between his arms and the wall, she was surprised by his skill, but then she suddenly stopped when she looked down.

His hand was pressed on the upper part of her chest, the slightly raised lines of her wrist bones sinking precisely into the soft, undulating cleavage.

The thin fabric was pressed into tiny wrinkles, trembling slightly with rapid breathing.

The warmth of his palm seeped through the fabric, carrying a slightly rough texture, and gently caressed the soft surface.

Every barely perceptible fluctuation felt like a hook, making her heart tighten and her breathing falter.

The chill from before had long since vanished. Su Jueluo's eyelashes trembled slightly, her eyes first showing astonishment, then rising with overwhelming anger.

But at the edge of that anger was a very faint blush, which quietly spread from her cheeks to the tips of her ears.

She could clearly feel the pressure on his wrist; it wasn't heavy, but it carried an inescapable sense of oppression.

It gently embraced that softness, like holding a cloud wrapped in warm fragrance, yet it also carried a hint of undeniable aggression.

At this moment, Shen Shuchou was only thinking about hiding Tantai Chigu behind the window, and hastily pressed her against the wall.

He was completely unaware of the inappropriate place his hand was on; he was only staring intently at her, afraid that she might turn her head to look again.

Seeing that Su Jue Luo seemed no longer paying attention to where the chill came from, Shen Shu Chou said in a deep voice, "You should have Cha Cha come and tell me about this yourself. I have nothing to say to you. If there's nothing else, please leave."

His gaze was fixed on her loose hair, and he didn't notice the unusual expression on her face.

It wasn't until Su Jue Luo slowly raised her eyes that Shen Shu Chou was caught off guard by the surging anger in her eyes and the blush that spread to her ears, like clouds soaked in rouge.

He suddenly realized that his hand was pressed against the soft flesh of the girl's chest.

Shen Shuchou's heart tightened, and an embarrassed blush rose on his face. He subconsciously moved his hand away slowly.

But as his fingertips traced the delicate undulations, a very soft hum escaped Su Jue Luo's throat.

It sounded like a mix of anger and annoyance, with the final syllable lingering on the tip of the tongue, as light as a breeze.

He was about to explain when the girl's angry rebuke landed with her raised foot: "You lecher!"

With a muffled thud, Shen Shuchou was kicked to the ground by the sudden force, his back hitting the cold bluestone slab, sending a tingling sensation through him.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp sword cry rang in my ears.

A cold light flashed like lightning, and a three-foot-long sword was already firmly resting between his legs, its sharpness as cold as frost.

Su Jue Luo made no further move, only coldly retorting, "I don't care what you think. I've already made the decision for Cha Cha. If you dare to betray her feelings, I will definitely kill this obstacle."

As soon as he finished speaking, he sheathed his sword with such speed that it was almost hasty. When he turned around, it was as if he was fleeing, and he hurriedly rushed out of the courtyard.

Shen Shuchou gazed at that resolute yet disheveled figure, the harsh words he had uttered still echoing in his ears, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

What exactly is going on here?

Before he could get up, a series of light footsteps were already close by.

Then, a timid question drifted over: "Father, are we getting married?"

Shen Shuchou looked up and met a pair of downcast eyes, filled with an overwhelming sense of grievance.

She was no longer the naive and ignorant little girl she once was, and naturally understood what marriage meant.

Tantai Chigu looked at him, a hint of pleading in her eyes, and asked softly, "Father, can we not get married?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Shuchou stood up, gently placed his hand on Tantai Chigu's little head, and rubbed it, saying, "I told you not to call me 'Daddy.' You're still young; this isn't something you should worry about."

"No, Father, you must promise me you won't get married."

Despite Shen Shuchou's words, Tantai Chigu gripped his clothes tightly, his tone stubborn.

"Okay, I promise you, we won't get married."

Shen Shuchou responded.

As soon as Shen Shuchou finished speaking, Tantai Chigu loosened his grip on his clothes, and the pool of aggrieved tears in his eyes seemed to melt away in the warm sun.

She looked up at him, her nose still slightly red, but her voice was much lighter: "Is what Father said true?"

"Of course it's true."

Shen Shuchou patted her back helplessly.

Tantai Chigu finally let go completely, a smile slowly appearing on her face. She reached out and hugged his arm, shaking it gently.

Shen Shuchou smiled and shook his head, about to say something more, when he saw her suddenly lower her head, as if looking at ants on the ground.

He didn't notice that in the shadow of those drooping eyelashes, the brightness that had been there just moments before suddenly faded, replaced by a faint yet extremely cold light.

The fleeting, cold light pierced straight in the direction Su Jue Luo had left.

That was the oppressive aura unique to those in power, a murderous intent hidden beneath a youthful exterior, which instantly silenced even the chirping of insects in the corner of the courtyard.

Shen Shuchou's expression also became serious from an angle that Tantai Chigu could not see.

The aura that Tantai Chigu had just exuded in the room was almost detected by Su Jueluo.

If he hadn't reacted quickly and covered it up in time, Su Jue Luo would probably have already noticed her abnormality by now.

Since Tantai Chigu first released this aura, and then he nourished her with his own body, Shen Shuchou has clearly felt that the aura he deliberately concealed for her is gradually weakening.

Meanwhile, the coldness inherent in Tantai Chi's solitary nature as a taboo, as well as the hidden terror and violence, are gradually rising to the surface.

It seems that before long, Tantai Chigu's forbidden aura will be impossible to contain, and it will surge out like a trapped dragon breaking free of its iron cage.

At that time, a storm carrying bloodshed and slaughter will suddenly sweep across the land, with this little girl as its center, turning the world upside down.

Shen Shuchou had anticipated this, but when she thought about how she had finally managed to show some of the innocent charm of an ordinary child these past few days...

Before long, his face would be stained with blood, and a complex and indiscernible emotion still lingered between his brows.

However, as a primordial forbidden witch, these were the fates she was destined to bear, which she could neither escape nor avoid.

Shen Shuchou gazed at the first hint of dawn on the horizon. The morning light, like scattered gold dust, washed over his clothes, stretching his solitary shadow long and long, almost merging with the gradually brightening sky.

His eyes were calm and deep, without the slightest ripple.

For him, all he could do was follow the path laid out by the system, step by step, toward that predetermined end.

P.S.: I really can't take it anymore, they're blacklisting me again. They blacklisted me twice when my data allowance was good, and now that things are so bad, they're still blacklisting me.
