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

The murderous intent surging in his eyes vanished without a trace in an instant, like a sudden breeze.

The streets of Ziyan City were still bustling with people, but the gazes hidden among the crowd remained fixed on them.

Ya Ye withdrew his gaze from Shen Shuchou's face and simply said, "Go back."

As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out and grabbed Gu Qingran beside him again, and under her furtive glances at Shen Shuchou, he walked step by step back the way he came.

Shen Shuchou watched the two figures as they walked away, his eyes flashing slightly, his thoughts unfathomable.

That murderous intent, though it only bloomed for a moment, did not carry any substantial ferocity.

In his view, this was more like a subtle hint.

He was just a little puzzled as to why Ya Ye would remind him like this.

He was quite surprised that the other party would appear here; Ya Ye had actually left that forbidden area.

But soon, Shen Shuchou remembered the night he left the forbidden land, when a sword light had appeared in the sky.

As he was deep in thought, Tantai Chigu, who was being pulled from behind, quietly peeked out and mumbled, "I didn't run away on purpose... I just didn't want to study."

Interrupted from his thoughts, Shen Shuchou smiled gently: "If you don't want to read, then you won't read today."

Upon hearing this, the little girl's eyes lit up instantly, and she asked excitedly, "Really?"

"It's true, of course. Let's go home."

Shen Shuchou replied with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, the little girl immediately stretched out her arms, like a little sparrow waiting to be fed, looking at him expectantly.

Shen Shuchou understood immediately, so he simply squatted down and pulled her soft little body into his arms.

Tantai Chili buried her head in his neck, her nose brushing against the faint fragrance on his clothes.

When Shen Shuchou freed one hand to gently support the fabric between her buttocks, the small body in his arms suddenly trembled slightly, so subtly as to be almost imperceptible.

Immediately afterwards, her delicate nose twitched slightly inside his clothes, as if trying to catch a familiar scent, or perhaps with a hint of dependence.

However, Shen Shuchou was still pondering what had just happened, and with his brows slightly furrowed, he did not notice the strangeness in the little girl in his arms at that moment.

This little incident soon reached Su Jue Luo's ears without missing a single word.

As she listened to her subordinate's report, her usually aloof face furrowed slightly, as if she were deep in thought.

"I see."

Her voice was calm as she gave the order, "Keep an eye on him and report his every move immediately."

"Yes."

After the order was given, the subordinate quietly left the room.

Su Jue Luo paced alone in the room, her fingertips unconsciously tapping her palms.

She wasn't completely ignorant about Ya Ye's identity; she only knew that he was a being from a forbidden land.

Even though this was a forbidden being, he had no connection with it. Yet today, this forbidden being had actually met Shen Shuchou.

But what Su Jueluo cared about even more was that this forbidden being was very likely acquainted with Shen Shuchou.

Adding to this, Su Jueluo, who already harbored suspicions about Shen Shuchou, was now even more suspicious. He was certain that Shen Shuchou was hiding a secret.

But what troubled Su Jueluo the most was his younger sister Su Chacha's heart; from beginning to end, Shen Shuchou was the only one in her eyes and heart.

After noticing Shen Shuchou's unusual behavior, Su Jueluo did consider trying to persuade her sister.

But a conversation in the autumn mist not long ago made her realize that once Su Chacha had made up her mind about someone, her heart was like nailed to the spot, unshakable.

Even so, for Cha Cha's sake, Su Jue Luo gritted her teeth and made up her mind.

Regardless of Shen Shuchou's hidden identity, this marriage must take place whether he wants it or not.

But she had also planned to talk to Shen Shuchou again tonight, and to test him one more time.

Time flies, dusk deepens, and the huge black curtain soon covers Ziyan City completely.

In the small courtyard on the back street, Shen Shuchou looked at Tantai Chigu curled up in bed and sighed helplessly.

The little girl clung tightly to him like a little animal, refusing to budge an inch no matter what he said.

Not only that, she stared at him with her bright, clear eyes, showing no signs of sleepiness.

Feeling extremely uncomfortable under that gaze, Shen Shuchou naturally dared not close his eyes.

Heaven knows what outrageous things this little girl will do once he's asleep.

After all, it wasn't like she hadn't done this before, but Shen Shuchou didn't forcefully pull her out of his arms.

Since that time he offered himself to him, the little girl became increasingly clingy to him, and since there wasn't much time left in Japan, he simply let her have her way.

The moonlight outside the window, like a piece of cool, white silk, slanted across the windowsill and intertwined with the flickering candlelight inside.

Flickering shadows were cast on the faces of the two people, one big and one small, on the bed.

Shen Shuchou's thoughts drifted back to fragments of the daytime as the light and shadows swayed back.

As he was deep in thought, a figure appeared in the moonlight outside the window, but seemed colder than the moonlight itself.

Su Jue Luo stood in the silvery light, his toes seemingly nailed to the spot, not moving forward an inch.

His cold, aloof profile was bathed in moonlight, turning pale, except for a faint blush creeping up around his ears, like a stray dab of rouge on the snow.

Just now, a thought and some unpleasant memories flashed through her mind: if Shen Shuchou really had hidden his cultivation, he was no ordinary person.

Didn't he see all the little things she did while he was asleep that night?

She could almost recall her probing when she thought the other person was asleep; now, it seemed like a clown making a scene in front of others.

That faint blush instantly burned across her cheeks, and even the corners of her eyes were tinged with annoyance.

But before her anger subsided, it was suppressed by an even colder emotion. She felt like a fool, being laughed at by everyone.

The warmth in her eyes vanished abruptly, replaced by a layer of icy indifference.

That murderous intent silently seeped out from between his brows, yet due to the earlier panic, it appeared somewhat stiff and tense.

Shen Shuchou, who was inside the room, looked up almost the instant the chill appeared.

My gaze passed through the open window and met a pair of eyes in the moonlight that were both icy and held a hint of lingering panic.

Seeing those murderous eyes fixed on him, Shen Shuchou felt a wave of helplessness.

If we were to name the person we least want to run into right now, Su Chacha would be one, and Su Jue Luo would be the second.

In his view, women who appear cold on the surface often have minds that are almost bizarrely obsessive, and Su Jue Luo clearly belongs to this category.

Looking at her menacing expression, he could roughly guess why she had come looking for him late at night. He knew he could no longer pretend to be asleep like he had done before.

Under the moonlight, Su Jueluo saw that Shen Shuchou was staring straight at her, and the anger in her heart burned even more fiercely, with the murderous intent in her eyes surging out like a burst dam.

This chilling killing intent not only startled Shen Shuchou, but also awakened Tantai Chigu in his arms.

The little girl turned her head slightly from Shen Shuchou's arms, and when she saw that it was Su Jueluo standing under the moonlight, her eyes, which had just been full of spirit, instantly became as dark as the night with ink spilled on them.

A chilling malice, more piercing than murderous intent, seeped from the depths of her pupils, an undisguised coldness.

Shen Shuchou tried to stop him, but it was too late.

Under the moonlight, Su Jueluo's pupils suddenly contracted. She was all too familiar with this malice; it was the same aura that had made her heart tremble that morning!

The malice at this moment was even colder than in the early morning, and even though she was a prodigy, she felt as if her blood was frozen.

This malicious act confirmed her suspicions.

However, the next second, that malice was overwhelmed by another gentle yet irresistible aura.

Shen Shuchou sighed softly, and a faint forbidden power emanated from his body, enveloping the little girl and causing her to slowly sink into a light sleep.

Then, he lifted the covers, slowly stepped off the bed, and his figure landed steadily in the moonlight of the courtyard.
