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

The rain in Yandu became even more torrential at this moment.

The dark sky, like a heavy, sinking ink, slowly descended.

Inside the bar, Shen Shuchou finally recovered from that almost suffocating deep kiss.

He looked at Yu Linghuan across from him, who was smiling, and still felt a bit incredulous.

Even though she was standing right in front of me.

He could accept the arrival of the nine female protagonists from his past lives, since they were the ones with the deepest ties to him throughout his nine reincarnations.

But the person standing in front of him at this moment was none other than Yu Linghuan, the woman he had been deeply entangled with in his second life.

"Why are you staring at me like that? Do you think I'm fake?"

Yu Ling looked at him with a smile.

Shen Shuchou's Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he said softly, "No, I just didn't expect you to come."

"My husband left me without a word, and now I'm not even allowed to come looking for him?"

The smile on her face faded, replaced by a deep sense of resentment. "I suppose my husband has long since forgotten me, and even our daughter."

Before Shen Shuchou could even speak, the soul of Fifth Qinghan in his sea of ​​consciousness exploded.

Husband? Daughter?

"What did you call him? Husband?"

His voice was filled with shock, anger, and disbelief; even his usual madness was suppressed by this sudden shock.

All that remained was a sharp question: "You also had a daughter with him?"

"He's my husband, we have children, what's the problem?"

Yu Linghuan chuckled softly.

Upon hearing this, Shen Shuchou's face showed a hint of doubt, and his brows furrowed slightly: "Who are you talking to?"

Seeing his expression, Yu Linghuan's eyes gleamed with amusement, and she smiled, "I picked up a remnant soul on the way. She cried and begged to recognize me as her mother, and I softened, so I took her with me."

Upon hearing these words, Shen Shuchou's expression changed drastically.

He instantly realized who that wisp of remnant soul was, and finally understood that the strange power that Fifth Book Shuang was referring to was actually from this source.

"Does my husband know you?"

Yu Linghuan's smile deepened, her eyes revealing complete understanding. "If you don't recognize her, I'll just crush her now, so she won't be an eyesore."

Looking at her knowing expression, Shen Shuchou felt helpless and said in a deep voice, "I know her. Give her to me."

"That won't do."

Yu Linghuan's smile remained unchanged. "Since she called me 'Mother,' I can't just hand her over to my husband."

"Bullshit! You were lying to me—you bitch! I'm going to kill you, I'll definitely kill you!"

At this moment, Fifth Qinghan felt an overwhelming sense of humiliation rushing to the top of his head.

She had never been so humiliated in her entire life.

And the one who humiliated her was none other than her mortal enemy, a mortal enemy who had once had a daughter with her husband.

Just as Shen Shuchou was feeling helpless and about to speak, the door behind him was suddenly pushed open without warning.

A figure wrapped in a raincoat slowly entered the room.

"Plop, plop—"

The crisp sound of leather shoes striking the floor was clearly audible, and with each step forward, a series of muffled "thump, thump" sounds echoed through the bar.

Those guests who were originally sitting scattered around suddenly collapsed to the ground without warning and fell silent.

Shen Shuchou's gaze sharpened, and he abruptly turned his head to look.

The figure in the raincoat had already reached the booth next to him in just a few steps.

The next moment, the other person took off their rain hat, and a head of long silver-white hair cascaded down like a waterfall, revealing an extremely beautiful profile with lines as exquisite as jade carving.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Yu Jianxue."

His voice was deep, husky and magnetic.

As she finished speaking, she turned her face, revealing a woman's face, beautiful in a way that was almost aggressive.

"Nice to meet you, you may call me Jianxue."

Yu Jianxue stretched out her hand, her gaze fixed on Shen Shuchou, ignoring Yu Linghuan standing to the side.

Staring at the outstretched hand, Shen Shuchou remained motionless, his expression extremely solemn.

The Yu Jianxue in front of him gave him an extreme sense of danger.

This is the second person, besides the female protagonist who has lived nine lifetimes, who can make him so wary in this world.

Just then, another hand suddenly reached out from the side and gently grasped Yu Jianxue's hand.

Yu Linghuan stood in front of Shen Shuchou, her beautiful eyes looking directly at Yu Jianxue, a smile playing on her lips: "Sister, if you have anything to say, just tell your older sister."

As soon as she finished speaking, she quietly sent a telepathic message to Shen Shuchou: "Husband, please leave here first. I will come to find you later."

Shen Shuchou did not move, but simply said, "You are a member of the Underworld."

Young Master Shen is indeed intelligent.

Yu Jianxue said calmly, "I am the Soul Master of the Underworld."

"I'm sure you can guess the purpose of my visit, Young Master Shen."

She spoke slowly, her confidence undisguised: "You only have two choices right now: one is to obediently come with me, and I'll guarantee your safety; the other is for me to kill her first, and then take you away. With Young Master Shen's intelligence, he wouldn't do something foolish, would he?"

"No, there is actually a third option."

Shen Shuchou suddenly stood up, his eyes as cold as ice. "That means I killed you, you neither-male-nor-female transvestite."

"Young Master Shen, I hate it when people address me like that."

Yu Jianxue's eyes narrowed suddenly, a fierce glint flashing in them.

"Yeah?"

Shen Shuchou curled his lips into a smile, and slowly uttered two words, "transvestite."

"I thought that a young talent like Young Master Shen would be a wise man, but it seems... he's just a fool."

Yu Jianxue's voice turned colder.

"Make your move!" Shen Shuchou was too lazy to deal with her anymore.

Before the cold shout had even finished, a visible wave of air surged around him.

The shockwave surged like boiling magma, converging on the right fist. Before the fist even arrived, the air was already torn apart with a sharp whistling sound.

He aimed straight for Yu Jianxue's face, determined to shatter that eerily beautiful face before him with a single blow.

Seeing this, Yu Linghuan didn't hesitate. Her powerful energy burst forth instantly, intending to imprison Yu Jianxue in place.

Facing the two attackers, Yu Jianxue curled her lips into a cold smile.

She didn't even raise her hand to block; in the instant she slightly raised her eyes, an overwhelming and suffocating pressure suddenly exploded from her body!

Shen Shuchou's pupils contracted sharply, and his heart trembled violently.

This power far surpasses that of a Nascent Soul cultivator!

Yu Linghuan, who was standing in front of him, was thrown away by the force and crashed hard into the edge of the bar in the distance.

Shen Shuchou's punch, which carried the force of tearing through the air, was still half a foot away from Yu Jianxue's cheek when it was slammed into her by this invisible force.

He felt an overwhelming force surging through his fists and arms, and his bones seemed to be groaning under the strain.

He flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the wall behind him.

With a soft "crack," the hard wall was struck and developed spiderweb-like cracks.

"My lord!"

Yu Linghuan gasped in surprise and rushed to his side.

Shen Shuchou stared intently at Yu Jianxue, his voice filled with shock: "Fusion Realm..."

The female protagonist, who has lived nine lives, is suppressed by the Heavenly Dao of this realm, and her strongest level is currently only at the Nascent Soul stage.

But the Yu Jianxue before him was actually far beyond the Nascent Soul stage.

"It seems that Young Master Shen is quite surprised by me."

Yu Jianxue sneered and slowly stepped forward, her long silver hair swaying gently with her movements.

"It's a pity you chose the wrong path. If you had chosen the first option, I could have used my authority to recruit a talented young man like you into the Netherworld's ranks. Unfortunately, I never take fools."

"Husband, run! I'll stop her!"

Yu Linghuan's heart tightened; she never expected that her first meeting with Shen Shuchou would be such a fierce battle.

Although she was the Great Emperor, her imperial status was actually lower than that of the Nine-Life Heroine.

Not to mention that under the suppression of this Heavenly Dao, her strength was only at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, not even touching the threshold of the Divine Transformation stage.

Even so, she could not back down.

As long as Dig is alive, even if she is seriously injured, she will not die easily.

Without the slightest hesitation, Yu Linghuan touched the ground with her toes and shot out like an arrow.

The spiritual power of a peak Nascent Soul cultivator erupted without reservation, and his body radiated a dazzling glow.

Although a wisp of imperial might flowed within the rosy light, it was unable to exert its full power.

It then transformed into a sharp blade of light, slashing straight at Yu Jianxue's face; this was the strongest attack she could muster at that moment.

Despite the attack being several times more intense than before, Yu Jianxue's face remained calm.

She didn't even turn her body; she simply raised her palm slowly.

The moment the two clashed, Yu Linghuan's light blade seemed to have hit an impenetrable wall, instantly shattering into countless points of light.

She felt a chilling, bone-chilling force surge through her, as if a boulder had crushed her chest. She was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the bar's floor-to-ceiling glass window.

With a crash, the heavy glass shattered, and her figure was thrown out of the bar along with the broken glass, falling into the torrential rain outside.

"You bitch, give me your power! I can kill her!"

Fifth Qinghan's voice suddenly boomed, carrying a desperate urgency.

She had originally intended to watch Yu Linghuan suffer severe injuries and be on the verge of death, then seize the opportunity to devour his soul and take it for herself. But now, she absolutely could not stand by and watch this person take her husband away.

Almost at the very moment the roar subsided, a blinding beam of headlights suddenly shone from the depths of the rain.

A car sped up and came to a smooth stop in front of the bar.

Shen Luoning pushed open the car door and stepped out quickly. Her gaze first fell on Yu Linghuan, who was lying on the ground, and then swept across the bar.

When she saw Shen Shuchou covered in blood, being lifted up by Yu Jianxue with one hand, her heart clenched and her face instantly darkened.

Meanwhile, Lu Wanheng, who was far away in the star field and rushing here with all his might, suddenly felt a jolt in his heart.

She suddenly stopped in her tracks, her divine sense probing into Shen Luoning's eyes like lightning.

When that bloody scene became clearly imprinted on her senses, she was instantly filled with rage, and her furious roar echoed throughout the starry sea: "You're courting death! Who dares to harm my disciple!"

An overwhelming and terrifying pressure erupted from her body, sweeping across tens of thousands of miles of star field like a tsunami, causing the stars to tremble.

At the same time, a familiar grayish-white light surged into Shen Luoning's pupils like a tide, instantly engulfing the original appearance.

Inside the bar, Yu Jianxue was about to deal with Shen Shuchou decisively when a chilling sensation suddenly swept over her from behind.

She turned around abruptly and met a pair of eyes filled with a deathly gray.

The immense terror surging in those eyes even instilled an instinctive sense of dread in her, a cultivator at the Integration Realm.

"Who... dares to harm my disciple?"

These words not only shocked Yu Jianxue, but also stunned Shen Shuchou, who was critically injured and on the verge of death.

He stared at the grayness in Shen Luoning's eyes, and a sudden realization dawned on him.

Just as Yu Jianxue was on high alert, another, even more frenzied force was spreading in from the rain outside the bar like wildfire.

Yu Linghuan, who had been kicked out of the door earlier, had somehow stood up.

Her exquisite face showed no sign of pain, but instead displayed an almost manic smile, the wide grin exuding a destructive aura capable of tearing the heavens and earth apart.

She walked back to the bar, step by step, through the rain.
