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

Suzhou.

In a room on the second floor of the villa, Pei Rou was lying on the bed, scrolling through her phone, feeling utterly bored.

In the two days since Shen Shuchou left, she has been listless and has been locking herself in her room all day.

I either talk to Hongyu for a bit, or I just lie here scrolling through my phone to kill time.

She still looked listless, and occasionally when she came across a funny joke, she would force a smile.

But before the smile could reach her eyes, it was quickly overshadowed by a faint sense of loss.

Most of the time, her face clearly showed four words: I'm unhappy.

Just as she was mechanically scrolling through a video under her name, her expression suddenly froze.

The next second, Pei Rou suddenly sat up in bed, her eyes fixed on the screen, even her breathing paused for a second.

"What's wrong?"

A childish female voice rang out, and a small red phantom floated out from the Listening to Spring Rain beside her pillow; it was Hong Yu, who looked like a child.

She could freely enter and exit this demonic blade, but she was too lazy to show herself on ordinary days, and would only come out to wander around when she was alone with Pei Rou.

Hong Yu drifted to Pei Rou's side and followed her gaze to the phone, where she saw a man and a woman embracing and kissing.

She immediately curled her lip, looking disdainful: "So cliché, what's there to watch?"

"elder brother……"

Pei Rou seemed not to hear her words, her eyes already glowing with a faint red light as she stared intently at the person in the video.

To be precise, it was staring at the face that was pressed beneath him, a face so familiar it was etched into his very bones.

Upon hearing this, Hongyu leaned closer to take a closer look and realized that the person being pressed down was Shen Shuchou.

She immediately clicked her tongue and said, "I told you long ago, this guy is a jerk! Look, he just left and you're already kissing another woman. Only someone as love-struck as you would still be thinking about him."

Pei Rou remained silent, but her aura suddenly changed, and a low pressure spread out.

The next second, she reached out and scooped up the red rain floating in mid-air, pressing it back into the Listening to Spring Rain.

"Hey! What are you doing!" Hongyu shouted from inside.

Pei Rou grabbed Ting Chunyu beside her, turned around, and strode out of the room.

As soon as Pei Rou stepped out of the room, a figure in pure white leaned against the window at the end of the corridor.

"Where are you going, looking so angry?"

Luo Shisan slowly turned around, his clear eyes casually sweeping over her tense profile.

She had sensed the violent aura emanating from Pei Rou's room long before she entered, and deliberately waited there to stop her.

"It's none of your business."

Pei Rou's tone was as cold as ice.

At this moment, all she could think about was rushing out and tearing that woman to pieces; she didn't want to spare a single bit of energy for the person in front of her.

She reverted to her obsessive and ruthless self, now only wanting to find Shen Shuchou immediately and use Tingchunyu to pulverize the woman who dared to approach him.

"Aren't we allies?"

Luo Shisan remained calm and composed despite being rebuked.

Upon hearing this, Pei Rou paused slightly.

"Tell me what's wrong, maybe I can help. I guess it's about your brother?" Luo Shisan pressed on.

"Ignore her! I don't like that woman; she's even more cunning than that stinking fox!"

Within the sea of ​​blood, Hong Yu's voice immediately rang out, full of vigilance.

"Since we're allies, we're on the same side. At least for now, I won't scheme against you, so why should you be so wary?"

Luo Shisan approached slowly, his tone calm and steady.

Pei Rou was silent for a moment, then finally raised her hand, opened the video on her phone, and handed it to her.

Luo Shisan took it, glanced at it a few times, and immediately understood the whole story.

She handed the phone back to Pei Rou, her tone flat and emotionless: "Just because of this?"

Pei Rou was taken aback, then immediately retorted, "Aren't you angry? How dare that woman treat my brother like that!"

Luo Shisan chuckled lightly: "Haven't you witnessed even more outrageous things yourself? You can't even handle this little thing?"

Pei Rou instantly understood her unspoken meaning, and her aura of hostility surged even more intensely than before.

Luo Shisan remained calm: "If it were me, I would never go there directly like that."

"Why!"

Pei Rou stared intently at her, a red light surging in her eyes.

"You've done similar things before, and you know the results, don't you?"

Luo Shisan gave a cold laugh.

Upon hearing this, Pei Rou fell silent.

She is not ignorant.

Even if she rushed over now and fought that woman in front of Shen Shuchou, she could finally vent her anger.

But what will the outcome be? It will only be the same as countless times before, a complete mess.

But despite her reasoning, the burning jealousy and resentment in her heart still raged fiercely, almost threatening to consume her entirely.

She doesn't understand.

Why is it that anyone can get close to her brother, anyone can be intimate with him, but she can't?

All she wanted was to monopolize her brother's love and possess him completely, so why was it so difficult?

"Then tell me, what should we do?"

Pei Rou forcibly suppressed her anger and calmed down.

"Of course, I'll pretend I don't know."

Luo Shisan spoke in a calm tone.

"Remember this: our biggest enemy right now is that fox. Once we deal with her, everything else will be easy."

A sudden surge of coldness flashed in Luo Shisan's eyes.

"You want to kill her?"

Pei Rou was startled.

"How can I rest easy if she doesn't die?"

Luo Shisan made no attempt to conceal the murderous intent in his heart.

She had long seen through it all: no matter how many people appeared later, the one who was truly the most troublesome and could most influence the situation was always Fox White.

She didn't want to be led by the nose by Hu Baibai anymore; the only way was to eliminate the threat completely.

A hint of hesitation flashed across Pei Rou's face.

Fox White usually showed her no hostility.

She allied with Luo Shisan only to fight for Shen Shuchou, and never intended to take anyone's life.

"Since you have chosen to ally with me, you should understand the implications."

Luo Shisan saw through her thoughts and continued, "Even if you side with her, do you really think you can win over your brother?"

She paused, then added, "Besides, once she's dead, all obstacles will be gone. Don't worry, at least until she dies, we'll still be allies."

"What are you planning to do?"

Pei Rou remained silent for a moment before finally speaking up.

Seeing that she relented, Luo Shisan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I already have a plan. I'll tell you when the time is right. Go back first and be patient for now."

"You better not lie to me, or you'll be the first one to die."

Pei Rou coldly tossed out a sentence, then turned and went back to her room, her anger simmering with nowhere to go.

After she left, Luo Shisan also sneered and turned back to his room.

"You're using her."

As soon as I entered, a clear, girlish voice rang out.

Luo Shisan sat down on the sofa, crossed her long, snow-white legs, and said casually, "Do you really think she doesn't know I'm using her?"

"You're still the same as ever, unchanged."

The girl's voice drifted out softly, and the source of that sound was none other than the soul slumbering within the sword, Ao Zi.

She spent most of her time in a deep sleep, and even though she longed to see Shen Shuchou again, even just to say "long time no see," she was never able to fulfill her wish.

"I am still me, just as you are still you. She knew I was using her, but she still did it willingly, and that's enough."

Luo Shisan spoke calmly.

What Luo Shisan had his eye on was more than just Pei Rou's seemingly simple and honest appearance.

Most importantly, she possesses a terrifying combat power comparable to Jiang Qianqiu, which will be the sharpest and most unstoppable blade when she strikes down on Hu Baibai.

"yes……"

Ao Zi's voice carried a hint of melancholy, drifting almost imperceptibly, "I only regret that I met him too late. If I had found him first back then, perhaps there would be no place for you in this world?"

"not necessarily."

Luo Shisan's tone was uncompromising.

"Because you are not me after all, nor are you the one destined to be his sister."

These words struck Ao Zi like a precise blow, leaving him speechless. Silence spread around him, and there was no sound at all.

At this moment, the gentle, lingering rain in Yandu had turned into a torrential downpour.

The gale-force winds whipped up a curtain of rain, shrouding the entire city in a somber, chaotic atmosphere.

The Mercedes-Benz drove smoothly through the rain. Shen Luoning slowly raised her hand and gripped her phone, her fingers slightly clenched.

"Luoning, didn't you say you were coming back? Why are you still stuck abroad?"

A gentle and calm voice came from the other end of the phone.

Hearing that familiar voice, Shen Luoning took a deep breath and finally spoke, each word clear and distinct.

"Dad, do I... have an older brother?"

After those words were spoken, there was a sudden, dead silence on the other end of the phone.

In the Shen family bedroom, Shen Shuche held his phone, all the gentleness in his eyes gone, replaced by a bottomless coldness.

"You don't need to hide it from me, I've already found out and met with him."

Shen Luoning listened to the silence on the other end and continued softly.

"Luoning, come back first. I'll handle things."

Shen Shuche's voice remained gentle, but beneath that gentleness lay a hint of murderous intent that seemed to pierce through the receiver.

"Are you going to kill him? Or... are you afraid Mother will find out?"

Shen Luoning's voice trembled slightly.

"Come back first, I'll handle it."

Shen Shuche avoided her question.

"I'm not going back."

Shen Luoning gently closed her eyes. "I won't tell Mother. I just beg Dad... please don't touch him again."

Without waiting for Shen Shuche's response, she hung up the call.

"Have you found his location?"

Shen Luoning looked up at the driver in the driver's seat, her voice tinged with urgency.

"Miss, we've located the location, and we're on our way there."

"Hurry up, we must find him before Shen Wanfu."

On the other side, Shen Shuche stared at the phone that had been abruptly hung up, his face turning completely grim.

He dialed another number almost immediately, his tone devoid of his usual sternness and gentleness, almost clenched through gritted teeth.

"What kind of work are you doing? Why hasn't this been resolved yet? How did my daughter find out about this?!"

The call was connected almost instantly.

"This is not our fault."

A young man's indifferent voice came from the other end.

"Your son is no ordinary person. He is a cultivator, and his cultivation is terrifying. Even the Underworld is no match for him."

"How could that be? He's so young!"

Shen Shuche was suddenly shocked, his face filled with disbelief.

He had considered the possibility that Shen Shuchou had someone backing him up, but he never imagined that the young man himself was a powerful figure capable of shaking the region.

The Underworld Official holds a revered position among the underworld spirits, and only those at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage or even those who have broken through to the next realm can bear this title.

How could someone like him be afraid of an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy?

Shen Shuche was deeply shocked, but he knew that the other party would never lie to him.

"I don't care what the cost is, whatever it takes, I want you to take care of him."

Shen Shuche's voice was as cold and sharp as a knife.

"Rest assured, since I've accepted your commission, I, the Underworld Ghost, never fail."

The young man spoke with unwavering conviction.

In reality, it wasn't that the Nether Ghost never made a mistake; it was just that the one time he failed, the higher-ups completely blocked the investigation, and with his authority, there was no way he could find out anything.

Shen Shuche slammed down the phone, and as he turned around, he was caught off guard by a pair of quiet eyes.

Before he could speak, Song Lianqing spoke softly and gently.

"What's wrong? Why are you so angry? When is Luo Ning coming back?"

"She'll be back soon, don't worry."

Shen Shuche quickly concealed the anger and panic in his eyes, managing to force a gentle smile.

Looking at his slightly strange expression, Song Lianqing nodded gently and didn't ask any more questions, but a faint doubt quietly flashed in the depths of her eyes.
