The improved female villains regained their memories.

From behind, someone embraced him. Perhaps Wen Shihan himself felt that his crying was too fake, so he simply stopped crying and became the Wen Shihan who silently supported his brother, giving Yang Pingsheng a warm hug from behind.

She gently rested her head on Yang Pingsheng's back, closed her eyes, and seemed to sense Yang Pingsheng's emotions. She whispered, "Brother, are you troubled?"

"Ah."

Yang Pingsheng nodded and fell silent. Wen Shihan also remained silent, simply leaning against him.

Moonlight streamed through the window, casting a blanket of silver frost on the ground. Yang Pingsheng looked at it and said, "Minor Cold."

"Ok?"

"help me."

"I would be delighted, elder brother."

Whoever her elder brother ordered her to kill, she would kill; whoever her elder brother ordered her to destroy, she would destroy.

Unlike other female villains who were simultaneously eyeing the door and Yang Pingsheng, Wen Shihan's target was only Yang Pingsheng from beginning to end.

Therefore, as long as Yang Pingsheng asks, Wen Shihan will definitely do it.

Even if it means going against the will of Heaven.

Chapter 202 An Empty Heart

Late at night.

A black cat darted to the top of the wall, cautiously looking around. Seeing that no one was around, it darted into the yard.

Deep in the yard, Big Yellow was fast asleep, unaware of the commotion.

It quietly breathed a sigh of relief, jumped to Xiaoyu's room door, scratched the door three times with its paws, and meowed.

There was no movement inside.

Has Xiaoyu not returned yet? Just as it was wondering, the door suddenly opened and it was caught off guard and dragged inside.

brush!

Suddenly, all the lights came on, illuminating the previously dark room. The black cat shuddered, but was immediately held down. It looked up and saw Yang Pingsheng sitting there calmly.

The person pressing it was Wen Shihan.

Cold sweat dripped from its forehead. In just a few seconds, it guessed what Yang Pingsheng had done.

"Meow~"

It opened its mouth, meowed a few times, and tried to get away with being cute.

"Stop pretending," Yang Pingsheng said calmly. "I've told Wen Shihan everything. Now, she won't think of you as a cat."

The hand pinching the back of the neck tightened a bit more, and the system cried out in pain, "Ouch, ouch, ouch! Go easy, go easy!"

"Go easy?" Wen Shihan sneered, his eyes revealing murderous intent. "It was you who separated me from my brother. Do you think you represent the Heavenly Dao and can calculate everything? I wish I could skin you alive, pull out your tendons, and make you repent for separating me from my brother for all eternity."

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Pingsheng, Pingsheng, make her stop first, listen to me!"

Yin energy had already spread from Wen Shihan's hand. The black cat, unable to resist, screamed in agony. It looked at Yang Pingsheng with teary eyes, its voice pleading: "At least listen to me first. If you kill me, you will never know the truth."

"...Alright, Xiao Han, let it go for now."

Wen Shihan released his grip, stood up, glanced at the black cat, and silently retreated into the shadows.

The black cat coughed as it got up. Although it couldn't see Wen Shihan, it knew that the other party had simply hidden himself again, waiting for its brother's order to make a move against it.

"Go ahead and tell me," Yang Pingsheng said, looking at it. "But I hope you won't lie to me anymore."

"...Before I say anything, I'd like to ask a question: Where did Xiaoyu go?"

"Don't worry, she's fine," Yang Pingsheng said. "I guessed you'd probably contact her when you got back, so I let her sleep in my room."

"What about the other female villains..."

"You've all been appeased, so don't worry. Xu Anlu has returned to the palace, and Luo Benmo is going into seclusion tonight. As for your identity, apart from Xiao Han, none of them know it yet."

"This, like this..."

The black cat breathed a sigh of relief. It raised its paw in a very human-like manner, wiped the sweat from its forehead, and said, "Sorry, I rushed back overnight. Could you give me some food and water?"

Yang Pingsheng silently stood up and placed the cooked fish and water he had prepared beforehand in front of the black cat. The black cat was taken aback for a moment, but still said thank you and began to eat with gusto.

After finishing its meal, it let out a satisfied burp, licked its lips contentedly, and said, "Thank you for the meal."

"Can you say it now?"

“Hmm.” The black cat nodded, and its first statement was astonishing: “I am not a system.”

A strong killing intent erupted from the shadows as Wen Shihan reappeared, kicking the black cat away with a single blow. Amidst the cat's screams, he drew his sword to strike it.

"Help! Help! They're killing the cat!!"

"Wait, Xiaohan," Yang Pingsheng stopped Wen Shihan. "Let it finish speaking."

“Brother, don’t listen to its nonsense. I’ll find out what it is once I dissect it.”

"Xiao Han," Yang Pingsheng looked at Wen Shihan, "trust me."

Wen Shihan lowered his head, sheathed his sword, gave the black cat a warning look, and retreated back into the shadows. The black cat breathed a sigh of relief and muttered subconsciously, "She really does listen to you."

"Let's get back to the point." Yang Pingsheng didn't want to waste time arguing with it and continued, "What do you mean by saying you're not a system?"

"I haven't finished speaking yet. Actually, I am also a system, just not the same system as before."

Yang Pingsheng thought for a moment: "Are you from another system?"

"No, I am also a system that was with you before, but not entirely the same system that was with you before. I don't know if you understand."

Speak like a human.

"Simply put, I used to serve the Heavenly Dao, but now I serve you. Because I have something more to offer, you can now trust me completely."

The black cat blinked and raised its paw: "One hundred percent, purebred."

Yang Pingsheng pondered, ignoring the black cat's words, and asked instead, "So what have you gained?"

"Huh? You didn't know? I thought you already knew, it was..."

boom!

The wooden door suddenly opened.

Xiaoyu stood at the door, her face expressionless, devoid of sadness or joy, only calm.

Wen Shihan emerged from the shadows again, blocking Yang Pingsheng's path with a look of fear on her face. She had already laid out a variety of detection-type immortal techniques around the room, but she hadn't noticed this woman coming at all.

Xiaoyu looked at the black cat lying on the ground, then looked up at Yang Pingsheng and Wen Shihan, sighed helplessly, and said, "Young Master, it's getting late, it's time to go to sleep."

The black cat's eyes widened, Yang Pingsheng frowned slightly, and Wen Shihan summoned his magical artifact, about to unleash a torrent of abuse at Xiaoyu: "You..."

"Minor Cold".

Before she could even utter a curse that would insult her ancestors for eighteen generations, Yang Pingsheng interrupted her. She looked at her brother with resentful eyes, but all she received in return was a gentle and calm pat from him.

"Don't rush, leave it to me."

"……Um."

"Put away the celestial artifact."

Wen Shihan pursed her lips, put away her magical artifact, but still stood in front of Yang Pingsheng, her eyes full of warning. Yang Pingsheng patted her head, looked at Xiaoyu, and a trace of sadness appeared in his eyes: "Xiaoyu."

"I'm here, young master," Xiaoyu replied, bowing her head slightly.

"I just want to know the truth."

"I understand how you feel, young master."

Even so, are you still going to stop me?

“Young Master, I can’t explain or find an excuse, but both it and I are on your side now.”

"...Stand on my side?"

A shadow of darkness appeared in Yang Pingsheng's eyes, engulfing all his reason and emotions before finally disappearing.

"Stand...on my side?"

He pointed at the black cat and said in a emotionless voice, "Something that calls itself a system told me that as long as I do what it says, everything will have a happy ending."

"But today, I realized that I had made a mistake a long, long time ago. The so-called happy ending was just an illusion. My memories, everything about me, were arranged and shaped by someone. Just like the female villains I met, their lives and experiences were also shaped."

"It lied to me, and now you're telling me it's on my side? Then tell me, I did what it told me to do, and what did I get in the end?"

Yang Pingsheng lived through nine generations.

Now, in the end, they have nothing left.

Chapter 203 Heartfelt Intentions

Xiaoyu remained silent.

She seemed to have a million things to say, but in the end, she said nothing.

In the end, she simply said, "Young master, go to sleep. After a good night's sleep, nothing will have happened."

The girl's voice was still as gentle and melodious as when he first met her. Yang Pingsheng remembered that day when the system brought her to him and told him that from now on, he would no longer be alone.

Because it was drizzling the day they met, the girl was named Xiaoyu (Little Rain).

"Go to sleep."

He spoke with weariness in his voice. Wen Shihan looked at him incredulously, wanting to say something, but Yang Pingsheng raised his hand to stop him.

"I'm too tired today. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Xiaoyu pursed her lips, bent down slightly, and carried the black cat out. After the person and the cat had left, Wen Shihan walked up to Yang Pingsheng and asked, "Brother, why..."

"You'll find out someday. Things have already come to this point, so there's no need to worry too much."

With his memories returning, he had also experienced a lot and naturally become more composed. Wen Shihan nodded, leaned closer, and kept talking: "No matter what, Xiaohan will definitely support my elder brother."

The boy's heartbeat was strong and powerful, vibrating through his chest. Wen Shihan nestled in his arms, listening to his voice, and in a daze, he seemed to see a melancholy soul, a soul filled with too much sorrow and too many past experiences, which were ultimately swallowed by the dark abyss and transformed into a terrifying monster.

She looked at Yang Pingsheng with some worry, but he only gave her a gentle smile, patted her head, and said:
