The face so close to him held warmth in its eyes, yet in Shen Shuchou's eyes, it sent chills down his spine.

But having experienced many things in life, he was no longer as bewildered and helpless as he was when he first met the female lead who had lived nine lifetimes.

In the blink of an eye, my mind had calmed down.

"Master, I have never intended to deceive you."

Shen Shuchou raised his eyes, his gaze meeting hers without flinching.

He knew that if he dodged even slightly at this moment, he would be opening a trap.

Lu Wanheng stared at him, trying to catch a trace of falsehood in the depths of his eyes.

However, Shen Shuchou's eyes were clear and calm, without the slightest ripple or disturbance.

"really?"

Lu Wanheng leaned forward slightly, her red lips just touching his, and a slender hand gently rested on his chest.

Beneath the fingertips, a heart was pounding violently.

A faint smile played on her lips as she spoke softly, "But your heart is beating so fast."

Shen Shuchou's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he was about to speak to find an excuse when a pair of bright red lips sealed his lips without any room for argument.

This was an extremely aggressive kiss.

Before Shen Shuchou could even close his eyes, she pinned him tightly against the cold wall.

The moment their lips touched, he felt a sharp pain on the tip of his tongue as Lu Wanheng bit his lower lip without any mercy.

A drop of warm blood welled up, carrying a slightly fishy sweetness, and was instantly sucked into her mouth, mingling with her glistening saliva.

"Well……"

Shen Shuchou let out a muffled groan, instinctively trying to turn his head away to dodge, but she grabbed his chin, forcing him to tilt his head back to endure this storm of plunder.

"It's still the flavor I like..."

Lu Wanheng murmured indistinctly, his eyes filled with a thick, dark aura.

Instead of backing away, she intensified her advance, her tongue entwining with his, greedily sucking, as if trying to squeeze the last bit of oxygen from his lungs.

The sticky sound of water was amplified infinitely in the silent air, intertwined with the faint, breathy breaths.

The fragrance emanating from her body, mixed with the stench of blood, was like the most potent aphrodisiac, seeping into Shen Shuchou's nostrils.

Just as Lu Wanheng's offensive intensified, almost devouring him whole,

Suddenly, a chilling light shone brightly in the frozen space.


Lu Wanheng didn't even turn his head, but let out a very soft sneer.

She didn't even loosen her grip on Shen Shuchou; she simply raised her free left hand slightly.

Two slender fingers, as if pinching a fallen leaf, effortlessly caught the sword light that was powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks.

"Zheng—"

With a crisp sound, the sword trembled violently.

Lu Wanheng finally managed to step back slightly, her lips still stained with Shen Shuchou's blood, which looked alluring and dangerous in the light.

She tilted her head slightly, a lazy smile curving her eyes, and looked at Luo Shisan behind her, saying, "My disciple is being intimate with Master. Isn't it rather inconsiderate of you to interrupt like this?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Shisan's killing intent surged forth.

Even though she was usually calm and collected, she could no longer maintain her composure after seeing this scene.

Without uttering a word, Luo Shisan's long sword suddenly emitted a clear and melodious dragon roar, and a majestic and powerful dragon shadow broke free from the sword, appearing between this frozen and stagnant world.

The dragon raised its head, its vertical pupils gleaming with a cold light, locking onto Lu Wanheng. The overwhelming dragon might, carrying a chilling sword intent, surged like a tidal wave, pressing down on the entire space.

"Thirteen, no."

Seeing this, Shen Shuchou hurriedly spoke up to stop him.

He broke free from Lu Wanheng's grasp, stepped forward, and stood between the two of them. His voice was cold and deep, each word distinct and deliberate: "Stop."

"Little brother, I really don't like her."

Luo Shisan's mind was made up, and his voice was cold.

Of the nine female protagonists, she had always disliked Hu Baibai the most, but Lu Wanheng, whom she was meeting for the first time, suddenly amplified her disgust.

Despite their many entanglements, none of the others dared to do such a thing in front of her.

She had already suffered a setback at Lu Wanheng's hands.

Both were emperors, both were the pride of heaven, and their pride was now fully ignited.

She knew Lu Wanheng was incredibly powerful, but the fierce anger within her compelled her to fight; there was no way to avoid it.

If we back down now, our spirit will crumble.

"Thirteen……"

Shen Shuchou wanted to say something to dissuade him, but before he could finish speaking, Luo Shisan interrupted him.

"Little brother, I understand your concerns. Don't worry, your sister won't cause you any trouble."

Luo Shisan spoke gently, "But she did this right in front of me. If you were in her shoes, how would you feel? Because I care about you, I have been holding back many things, but now, I can't hold back any longer."

Upon hearing this, Shen Shuchou's words caught in his throat, and he fell silent for a moment.

Luo Shisan's words were like a wake-up call.

In the past, he always weighed the pros and cons from his own perspective and rarely considered the feelings of these women.

They were originally the most admired talents in their respective worlds, holding the reins of their own destinies, yet they crossed vast star fields to gather here for him.

Although there were constant frictions and many troublesome disputes in the past, they were mostly able to coexist peacefully.

Only now did he realize that the peaceful situation he had been trying so hard to maintain was already riddled with cracks.

"Regardless of your relationship with my brother, if you have the ability, then fight me."

Luo Shisan's voice was as cold as jade. As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped onto the majestic dragon head and vanished in an instant.

After Luo Shisan had disappeared into the distance, Lu Wanheng smiled faintly and looked back at Shen Shuchou: "Disciple, wait for me quietly. Your master will be back soon."

The lingering sound slowly dissipated, and her figure dissolved into the void.

As the two figures disappeared, the frozen space slowly crumbled and dissipated.

Shen Shuchou remained silent for a moment, then stepped away from the spot.

The group of nine female protagonists gathered together because of him, maintaining this seemingly peaceful situation.

Even though it was only a superficial peace, it did give Shen Shuchou a little peace of mind.

But beneath this calm exterior, each person harbors countless emotions deep within their heart.

Lu Wanheng's public actions today acted as a fuse, igniting Luo Shisan's long-suppressed resentment.

Shen Shuchou suddenly thought of Pei Rou, that seemingly clumsy and silly little girl. Who could be sure that she didn't harbor the same obsession as Luo Shisan?

Then he thought of Jiang Qianqiu, who had a fiery temper and was easily angered, yet he was usually restrained and shared a room with the women.

Then there's Fifth Shushuang, who has always been gentle and insightful like a lady from a noble family, always proper in everything she does, but in her heart, is there really not a trace of resentment?

Even Fox White, who usually operates in the shadows and controls the situation, may not be without his own pent-up frustrations.

Upon thinking of this, Shen Shuchou felt not only annoyed and troubled, but also deeply indebted.

He was a salvation for each of them, but now they were avoiding him like the plague.

Only now did he realize that he would have to give everyone an explanation for all the things he had wronged.

Whether it's Lu Wanheng who just appeared, Yan Xuanshi whom he rescued from the barbarians in his eighth life, or Qin Hongyi, who is fierce and terrifying but is still a pitiful girl at heart.

"Ugh."

A soft sigh escaped from his lips.

Not only were the women filled with resentment, but he himself also harbored a deep sense of unease.

At that moment, the resentment that had been lingering in his heart dissipated with that sigh.
