The improved female villains regained their memories.

She saw smiling faces revealed as the darkness receded.

------------------

"Well, I'm here."

That laugh was so familiar, yet so strange.

"Xiao Yin, listen to the Grand Tutor."

"A good night's sleep will make everything better."

Chapter 784: I'm Not Acting Anymore

The runes spread upwards, but to Yang Pingyi's surprise, Xu Anyin was not immediately teleported into the Land of Rules.

She grabbed the hand that had pierced through her body and held on tightly.

Xu Anyin's growth was even faster than Yang Pingsheng had imagined, and he continued to provoke him with words: "Little Yin, are you no longer listening to the Grand Tutor?"

"I really want to hear it," she said, "but Grand Tutor, how can I listen after you've treated me like this?"

She grasped Yang Pingsheng's hand, and her soul power vibrated, actually stopping the spreading runes.

Yang Pingsheng originally wanted to catch Xu Anyin off guard, since he felt that Xu Anyin's will was not as firm as that of the other villains.

But now he realizes that he underestimated Xu Anyin.

People grow, and it's not just Wen Shihan; everyone else grows.

She was indeed fearful, indeed cowardly, and indeed wanted to run away when faced with danger, but under Xu Anlu's influence, Xu Anyin is no longer the same.

Yang Pingsheng felt tears dripping onto his hand.

Xu Anyin was crying. Was it because of the pain, or because she couldn't believe that he was the one who attacked her?

The reason doesn't matter, because Yang Pingsheng is the villain, just like what they did back then. Once a villain has done something, they won't regret it.

So Yang Pingsheng continued, "Xiao Yin, from then until now, I've always been doing this for your own good. Have you forgotten?"

Xu Anyin trembled even more violently.

Yes, how could she forget? Yang Pingsheng's words reminded her of the past.

Yang Pingsheng had always meant well for her.

Regardless of whether there is a system or not, and regardless of who he really is, Xu Anyin cannot deceive herself; he has always been doing it for her own good.

------------------

But now, she still cried.

She gripped that hand tightly, enduring the pain, and said, "Yes, you meant well for me, so it's all my fault. I didn't listen to you back then, I didn't understand the reasoning you gave me, all the mistakes are my fault."

"But now, I still don't want to listen." More tears fell onto that hand, and she cried, "What is right, what is wrong, is it right to listen, or is it right not to listen? Grand Tutor, I still don't understand."

"I really want to hear what you have to say, but my feelings are the same as my sister's. I don't want to be separated from you no matter what, Grand Tutor."

------------------

That year, that red figure moved amidst the snow-white surroundings. She watched Xu Anlu hug Yang Pingsheng and cry, her expression indifferent.

People will eventually part ways.

There is no such thing as a permanent relationship; even the most passionate love can one day be broken.

So she said that people will eventually part ways, and to be attached to those who are separated is an extremely immature thing to do.

She said that her experiences and hardships have made her see through the coldness and warmth of human relationships, and she will no longer be attached to the differences between people.

She said she had grown up.

She was wrong.

It has nothing to do with growing up.

As long as one is human, as long as one has desires, as long as one has love.

Then I don't want to part ways.

------------------

"Grand Tutor, I don't want to part, I don't want to..." she pleaded, almost crying.

She has really grown up.

Being able to understand what you want and what you are reluctant to give up.

Yang Pingsheng's tone softened considerably, finally shedding his hypocritical demeanor, and he said, "Xiao Yin, I didn't want to either..."

The next second, an irresistible force permeated Xu Anyin's soul.

"But if you want to pursue something, you have to pay the price. Even if you say you don't want it halfway through, you can't go back on your word."

"Xiao Yin, I'm on this path now, there's no turning back."

Darkness descends.

Xu Anyin desperately tried to turn around, wanting to see Yang Pingsheng's expression.

But she still failed.

------------------

"Xiao Yin, I hope you can understand this principle sooner in the next world."

"get out of class is over now."

------------------

She couldn't see his face clearly, only his voice, and all she could see was a chaotic darkness.

------------------

My body consciousness kept falling downwards.

She heard a jumble of sounds.

"Someone's coming!"

"Is it Luo Benmo or Shi Guijia?"

"...It's Xu Anyin."

"What's the difference between that and her not coming at all? Why wasn't her sister here?"

"At least she can tell us about what's going on outside."

The darkness dissipated.

Xu Anyin looked up blankly.

She saw Wen Shihan lying on the ground, Li Chumo wagging his tail, and Song Panning looking displeased.

Upon seeing the pink-haired girl, he slowly knelt down in front of her.

"Xu Anyin".

Jiang Mo often asked, "What's the situation outside right now?"

------------------

Xu Anlu and Ye Buxin were both really angry.

It's a fight to the death; one side unleashes its essence-based attack, while the other uses the power of rules, both aiming to completely annihilate the other.

In the midst of the fierce battle, a beam of light, like Pangu splitting the heavens and earth, tore through the emerald chains that had been blocking the way. The newcomer was none other than Luo Benmo.

Countless spiritual energies gathered in her hands, and a giant figure materialized behind her, gripping a sword and unleashing pure spiritual light.

There were no fancy techniques, no complicated rules, only the purest torrent of spiritual energy. Wherever the blade passed, the emerald chains melted away like spring snow, and even Xu Anlu was forced back three steps.

"You better watch your step!" she roared at Luo Benmo.

Luo Benmo ignored her and commanded the giant, unleashing another torrent of spiritual energy.

Whether it's the Netherworld or the Great Ruins, these are places where spiritual energy is forbidden, but Luo Benmo has broken through this restriction. Her spiritual energy, a fusion of multiple attributes, has become extremely pure.

Surrounded by the two, Ye Buxin was actually at a disadvantage and couldn't even maintain the emerald green chain space.

I'm afraid of getting it wiped.

Finally, under Luo Benmo's powerful and sweeping attacks, space collapsed, and Shi Guijia, Yang Luoyi, Su Murong, and the Four Heavenly Spirits all reappeared.

"Mother." Upon seeing Ye Buxin being suppressed by the two villains, Yang Luo quickly asked Shi Guijia, "Should we go and help?"

Shi Guijia frowned as she looked at it.

Her Eye of Destiny was nearly destroyed, and the continuous high-intensity battles had also caused her to accumulate a lot of injuries.

Most importantly, even now, she has not been able to decipher the truth of the future she saw through her Destiny-Observing Eye.

All darkness, all chaos, all human destiny ceased, except for Yang Pingsheng, who remained unchanged throughout the ages.

"Don't act rashly," she said, only then realizing that there were fewer people on the battlefield.

Xu Anlu's black hair was flowing, indicating that she was not currently in a state of fusion with Xu Anyin, but Xu Anyin was nowhere to be seen, nor was Yang Pingsheng.

Where are these two?

boom!

Just then, a violent surge of spiritual energy swept over them. Luo Benmo used some secret technique, and the roaring spiritual energy was comparable to the reappearance of the Heavenly Dao, even overwhelming the chaotic energy flow.

Blood churned as Luo Benmo, his eyes bloodshot with rage, looked as if he wanted to devour Ye Buxin alive.

A question arose in everyone's mind: Did this guy sense something?

Immediately afterwards, Xu Anlu's expression changed drastically, and she angrily shouted at Ye Buxin, "What did you do to my sister and Ping Sheng?!"

She actually lost contact with Xu Anyin.

"Oh no, Mother, Father is in danger!"

"Life is in danger? Sisters, hurry up and get in!"
