The improved female villains regained their memories.

Lin Wanjun, the female protagonist of this world.

In order to save the world and change the female villain, the system follows the will of Heaven and wants the female protagonist to be with Yang Pingsheng.

Only in this way can we save this world, and save her... life.

Chapter 217 Childhood Sweethearts

The fifth female villain, defined by Heaven as a cunning and treacherous messenger skilled in disguise.

In the plot development described by the system to Yang Pingsheng, the female villain Song Panning is an out-and-out hypocrite. She is not only extremely cunning, but also very resourceful and thoughtful.

She and the female lead, Lin Wanjun, were both candidates for goddess and friends. During the goddess election, Song Panning used every means possible, employing schemes and tricks to eliminate all her competitors one by one.

However, there can only be one position as a goddess, and in order to become a goddess, she did not hesitate to extend her dark hand to her childhood friend.

Lin Wanjun was naive and had no defenses against Song Panning. Even though the behind-the-scenes think tank repeatedly reminded her to be careful, she didn't care. Therefore, when she fell into the trap, she had no way to deal with it.

A goddess is supposed to be the purest person, free from any impurity; having an affair with a man is a grave taboo. Song Panning feigns an invitation to Lin Wanjun to go hunting, but on the way, she uses a magic array to trap her in a wooden hut, leaving her alone with a drugged man. Fortunately, the male protagonist, Du Wanli, arrives in time, breaks the array, thwarts the female villain's plot, and saves Lin Wanjun.

When the matter was exposed, Song Panning became universally hated, while Lin Wanjun, who was usually quite popular, received everyone's sympathy. The temple inspector thoroughly investigated the case, Song Panning was imprisoned, and Lin Wanjun ascended to the position of goddess amidst everyone's blessings.

"However, it's impossible to expect the female villain to repent. These people are more stubborn than anyone else," the system said. "All of Song Panning's behavior in prison—repentance, confession, guilt—was a facade. She admitted her mistakes in front of everyone while researching spirit arrays, which led to the final massacre in the city."

The most skilled at disguise, he fooled the judge, his parents, his relatives and friends, and everyone else.

Her gentleness, smile, and words were all a facade; her scheming methods were her true weapon.

Among the nine female villains, no one can compare to her in terms of scheming and intrigue. She is good at plotting, calculating people, land, and heaven. Her strategic mind can encompass the entire universe.

Yang Pingsheng had been in this world for twelve years and had been in contact with female villains since he was a child. To be honest, he didn't think that female villains were the kind of people who liked to play tricks and schemes.

However, given the tireless teachings of the definition and system of the Way of Heaven, Yang Pingsheng never dared to be careless.

"A conspiracy..."

In the academy, Yang Pingsheng recited the word, and the image of Lin Wanjun's innocent appearance from yesterday came to mind. He couldn't help but sigh.

boom!

A book hit him on the head.

"What conspiracy? What are you thinking?" Song Panning stood beside the seat, holding a book, looking at him with displeasure. "Did you hear what I told you?"

"what……"

"Didn't you hear me? You idiot, all you do is stare blankly."

The fifth generation, Yang Pingsheng, began as an infant.

From the moment he grew up, the system had always kept him in contact with Song Panning. Their two families were also quite close due to political considerations, so the two could be said to have grown up together, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them childhood sweethearts.

Yang Pingsheng had cut off the opportunity for Lin Wanjun and Song Panning to meet, and even took the place of friends. The two were born on the same day, month, and year, but twelve years had passed, and Song Panning had never even heard of Lin Wanjun, let alone met her.

“I was saying, do you want to come to my place for dinner tonight? My mother went to the temple, only my father is here, so I don’t have to train tonight.” She blinked and said, “We can go to the backyard to catch chickens and fireflies. Oh, and I want to play the ghost-catching game again from last time.”

"Ah...but..."

"It's settled then!"

At twelve years old, it's the perfect age for fun.

Song Panning was no exception to this rule. In Yang Pingsheng's view, she was just an ordinary girl who could cry, laugh, love beauty, and enjoy playing. Compared to the previous four, she seemed to have no special characteristics.

Wen Shihan has a gloomy personality, Luo Benmo is domineering and bloodthirsty, Xu Anlu has a dual soul, and Su Murong is struggling to make a living. Compared to these, Song Panning seems to be much more normal.

However, the definition of the Way of Heaven makes this normalcy seem strange.

"I see."

Faced with Song Panning's invitation, Yang Pingsheng once again agreed.

After packing their things, Yang Pingsheng and Song Panning headed towards their house.

The children of the temple, naturally, are different from those below. They all attend a special academy, which is located to the east of the temple, some distance away. The academy has four gates. Walking out from the west gate and along a cobblestone path, you can reach the temple.

The residences of the people living in the temple were all built around the temple, so when the children came home from school, they would all go out from the west gate and walk together through the cobblestone path. After crossing the path, they would go their separate ways to go home.

The teacher left school late today, and Yang Pingsheng had been punished with copying in class, so Song Panning had to wait for him. Therefore, by the time the two of them came out, everyone had already left. Song Panning held his hand and, as usual, complained to him about the tediousness of practicing for the Goddess Candidate course. Yang Pingsheng just listened quietly, occasionally humming in agreement.

Over the years, the two have gotten along like this, and they have become accustomed to each other's ways. Yang Pingsheng's slow reactions do not make Song Panning dissatisfied, and Song Panning's complaints do not annoy Yang Pingsheng. On the contrary, the two complement each other perfectly, with one talking and the other listening.

"...Then, my tutor tried to pull my legs, but my bones were too stiff and I couldn't straighten them. So my tutor grabbed me and pressed and pressed hard, and then..."

Before Song Panning could finish speaking, she noticed that Yang Pingsheng was looking in a certain direction.

She followed his gaze and saw a girl standing not far away.

The girl had shoulder-length short hair, was small, and looked about ten years old. She was dressed in gorgeous brocade clothes, with her hands behind her back, standing there somewhat nervously and reservedly.

Song Panning pondered for a moment, then looked at Yang Pingsheng: "Your sister?"

I don't have a younger sister.

"Yes, I know her, so you know her?"

"That's it."

After all, that's what I said to them yesterday.

Yang Pingsheng hadn't expected the other person to actually come looking for him. His memories of yesterday told him that he had indeed told the other person that he was going to school there, but how...

Just as Yang Pingsheng was thinking, the other person also saw him. He became even more nervous, and his fair face turned red.

"me……"

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but didn't. After thinking for a moment, she jogged over to Yang Pingsheng.

however--

boom.

"Ouch, it hurts."

She tripped and fell flat on her face, dropping the fruit she was carrying behind her. She sat up, her nose red as she looked at the two of them, then at the fruit on the ground, her eyes welling up with tears again.

"Waaah..."

Song Panning looked at Yang Pingsheng with suspicion.

Chapter 218 Starting Over

"Hehehe, the Soul-Seizing Array, I actually succeeded."

Lin Wanjun opened her eyes, a wisp of ethereal blue spiritual energy flashing within them.

"The thing that the mysterious person gave me really worked. I was indeed reborn, and I even returned to my previous body."

She looked at her body; she still looked like a ten-year-old, soft and delicate. She looked at the familiar room, got up, and took out a mirror with practiced ease, looking at her reflection.

"I'm back! I'm really back!"

The urge to cheer almost burst forth, but it was quickly replaced by intense hatred.

"Song, Pan, Ning!"

A name as blood-red as blood.

She considered her a friend, a sister, but she chose to betray her.

A crimson blood moon hung high in the sky, the entire mountain city was swallowed up by the formation, the sea of ​​blood churned, and the sky was filled with the wails of people's souls.

Former friends have become the embodiment of evil, leaving a trail of blood wherever they go.

She screamed and yelled in terror until her voice became hoarse, and half of her face was disfigured.

But that demon had no intention of sparing her.

She fell off a cliff and into a river, drifting downstream until she woke up and found herself in a small village, having left the mountain town.

This was her first time leaving the mountains, so she couldn't communicate with the villagers. Just then, a mysterious person approached her.

He told her in the local language that the city had been massacred, and that if she wanted revenge, she would have to pay the price.

"Space-time type killing moves are a forbidden type of killing moves. You need to pay a certain price to use them."

The mysterious man placed the scroll in her hand and said, "Altering the past timeline will have unpredictable consequences if you act rashly. Follow the instructions on this scroll, and you will be able to take your revenge."

Soul-Stealing Array.

She unleashed a spacetime-based killing move, and with the help of a magic array, she seized control of her past self's consciousness and took its place.

Now, she's back.

She wants to take revenge on her former friend and make her taste the bitterness of pain.

She wanted to disfigure her, make her lose her loved ones, make her homeless, and make her experience everything she had suffered back then.

The words in the scroll had already been integrated into her memory. Lin Wanjun calmed down and recalled them, and finally, she opened her eyes.

"Yang Pingsheng..."

She read it aloud, letting out a low, sinister laugh.

"As long as you're here, I'll be able to get my revenge..."

------

The little girl lay on the ground, her nose red, crying out in pain in a simple voice.

Yang Pingsheng bent down to help her up, and as soon as he did so, he was met with Song Panning's scrutinizing gaze.

So who exactly is she?

Song Panning was dressed in the academy's uniform. Unlike the little girl's short hair, she had long, flowing hair, and her expression wasn't as kind; instead, she had an adult-like seriousness. Yang Pingsheng knew his childhood sweetheart well; whenever she asked this question, her mood was usually not pleasant. Therefore, he quickly replied, "She is..."

However, before he could finish speaking, the little girl said, "I am Brother Pingsheng's fiancée."

Yang Pingsheng: "?"

Song Panning: "?"

The two men looked at her with puzzled expressions, and she, feeling embarrassed, could only bury her face in Yang Pingsheng's arms.

The system, however, seemed to enjoy the drama and said, "You're quite charming; you've already hooked her, haven't you?"
