The improved female villains regained their memories.

"I just feel... Su Rouxue is innocent."

"I understand, you don't understand destiny."

"Yes, I don't understand the fate you're talking about. It's too cruel for Su Murong and Su Rouxue. Actually, I've been thinking about this for the past few worlds. Why do you... no, or rather, why does the Heavenly Dao have to change them? If you're afraid they'll shatter the world's will, then just kill them. Why torture them like this?"

"Ugh, this question again."

The system sighed: "Didn't I already explain? Even without Su Murong, there would be Wang Murong, Li Murong. The Heavenly Dao has no emotions; it never has a problem with any female villain. What it truly has a problem with is what's behind these female villains—"

"--humane."

humane.

Before human civilization, the entire natural world was a wild and untamed place.

Humans are also part of the animal kingdom. Back then, people ate raw meat and drank blood, and only knew how to use rudimentary tools. Among them, some people were deeply attracted by spiritual energy and were the first to awaken their intelligence.

Just as animals become monsters when they are approached by demonic energy, humans become primates when they are approached by spiritual energy.

Among them, humans, who are closest to spiritual energy, look up at the heavens and down at the earth, and see through the direction of the weather and the earth's veins. The gathering of spiritual energy depends on the yin and yang energies of heaven and earth, which are born and carried by the earth. And before that, there is a product called the Way of Heaven.

Only by conforming to the natural order can people achieve development.

In the darkness of the ancient wilderness, light was born when one person saw through the ways of heaven and drew the Eight Trigrams.

That is the light that guides humanity.

However, the moment humanity received guidance, popularity was also born.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth endows people with normal desires: eating, drinking, and mating.

The emergence of popularity, however, transforms everything into human desires.

Eat, but eat beyond your body's limits.

Drink it, drink it regardless of whether it's addictive.

Mating is necessary, but no longer for the sake of mating; numerous variations, reversed genders, all are subordinate to human desire itself.

A strange desire was born.

The system spoke eloquently for a while, then became serious again: "Yang Pingsheng, have you ever thought about this question: in the original storyline, how did Su Murong survive after Su Rouxue's death?"

Yang Pingsheng shook his head.

He truly didn't know.

"In the original storyline, Su Rouxue died of illness. After her death, Su Murong learned a lot from the foreigner. She didn't grieve for her mother at all... No, let's put it this way, she had long forgotten about her mother's death and quickly devoted herself to the research of popularity talisman drawing, and she enjoyed it very much."

"So do you understand now? Su Murong is a person who values profit. The reason she was saddened by Su Rouxue's death was simply because the person who brought her profit had died. Once a new person can bring her profit, then the previous person will be forgotten without hesitation."

"After all, she's a shameless person who puts profit above all else!"

Chapter 142 Alchemist

Shameless people who prioritize profit above all else.

Because Heaven has given the definition, the system will follow this line of thought to try to figure out Su Murong.

Logically speaking, Yang Pingsheng, as the chosen one by Heaven and the system, should have followed their line of thought, but...

He can't help it.

After Su Rouxue's death, Su Murong's image was deeply etched in his mind.

He couldn't forget, or even ignore, that the other person was just a ten-year-old child.

She was only ten years old, and now she had lost her mother, making her a complete orphan. How could he possibly think the worst?

Yes, she is a female villain. She is shameless, has no bottom line, and betrays her country. But all of this happens in the plot. What is presented to Yang Pingsheng is a little girl who just wants to live.

She just wanted to live, and she wanted her mother to live.

Yang Pingsheng always felt that Su Rouxue's death was the turning point for Su Murong, but the system insisted that it wasn't.

"How many times do I have to tell you before you understand that Su Rouxue's death is completely unimportant!"

At this point, the system got a little impatient.

"She's not important, not important at all. How many times do I have to tell you this? Su Rouxue's death was not part of the plan!"

"I don't understand. Su Rouxue is Su Murong's mother. They depended on each other for survival. How could things not change when their closest relative died?"

"If it were the previous female villains, like Wen Shihan, Luo Benmo, and Xu Anlu, they would all be considered big. But the female villain in this world is named Su Murong. You don't understand Su Murong at all!"

“However, I understand human emotions, and Su Murong’s feelings for her mother are genuine!”

"My God..."

The system became agitated, and a small ball of light flew up, circling around Yang Pingsheng.

"Idiot, moron, fool, I'm not going to explain anymore!"

With a "biu" sound, the ball of light flew into Yang Pingsheng's body and fell silent.

Yang Pingsheng: "???"

The system rarely loses its temper. Yang Pingsheng had always thought that since it spoke of the Heavenly Dao all the time and said things without any emotion, it should also be emotionless. He never expected that it would get angry one day.

Yang Pingsheng was simply baffled by his anger.

Forget it, if you don't want to ask, then don't. Yang Pingsheng was also upset about Su Murong's situation and didn't want to talk to the system about it.

He can't be that ruthless yet; let the system keep those ruthless words to itself.

Back in the room, Su Murong remained lying motionless on her side, while Yang Pingsheng lay down, closed his eyes, and drifted off to sleep.

When I woke up, the snow outside had stopped.

The long-awaited sunlight turned the white into orange-yellow, and the sunlight shone through the cracks in the wooden door, shining directly into Yang Pingsheng's eyes.

He yawned, got up, and found that Su Murong was gone.

Along with that, the hemp rope also disappeared.

"!!!"

Yang Pingsheng immediately sobered up, and for some reason, an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

"System, system!"

He called out, but there was no response.

"Mu Rong! Mu..."

He opened the door and was about to call out when he saw Su Murong walking in through the gate with a basket on his back.

"Huh? Pingsheng, you're awake?"

She was wearing a coarse linen dress, her hair was wet, and she was walking on the melting snow. The basket on her back was full of straw.

Yang Pingsheng let out a breath. For some reason, he had just had the illusion that Su Murong might have also hanged himself.

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. The system and the Heavenly Dao's goal has always been to change the female villain. If Su Murong gets into trouble, the system will definitely remind itself. After all, it doesn't want to see another Li Murong or Wang Murong emerge.

Knowing that the other person was alright, Yang Pingsheng was no longer in a hurry. He stepped forward, took the basket, and asked, "Did you go to gather straw?"

"Well, we still need to eat."

She nodded as she spoke, a faint smile on her face, and walked to the water vat next to her, scooping some water to wash her hands.

“I want to get you a new straw mat, and then take apart that bed and replace it with a bigger one, so you can sleep with me instead of sleeping on the floor.”

"Hey?"

Yang Pingsheng stood there, stunned.

Su Murong looked at him and asked, "Is there a problem?"

"Mu Rong... are you going to take the bed apart?"

“Yes, let’s redo it.” Su Murong smiled and stepped into the house.

"A bigger bed, so the two of us can sleep together."

Her smile and voice were lost in the darkness.

"In that case, there will be two people in this room again."

A pharmacy.

The familiar vanilla flavor.

The old man puffed on his cigarette, his cloudy eyes vacant as he stared at the ceiling.
