The improved female villains regained their memories.

However, the male and female protagonists of this world are not as powerful as those of the previous round. The female protagonist is on the cliff, her fate unknown, and the male protagonist is no match for the snake king after three rounds before being swallowed and digested.

In previous lives, a single villain could destroy the world, let alone two villains? The system sighed heavily and said to Yang Pingsheng:

"I didn't tell you at the beginning because I was afraid of putting too much pressure on you. Besides the cunning Song Panning, you will also face the treacherous Snake King. The Snake King has long noticed Song Panning's talent and will probably try to lure her into breaking his seal. In the deduction, Song Panning was seduced by the Snake King and that's how she broke the seal on the mountain city."

A long way to go.

Yang Pingsheng felt the pressure on his shoulders. His actions were not only about Lin Wanjun's life, but also the lives of everyone in the mountain city.

Yes, Song Panning grew up with him, but so what? The cold-blooded king hidden in the abyss, Yang Pingsheng knew nothing about it. Where was it buried? What methods would it use to seduce Song Panning? And why did Song Panning change her mind? Yang Pingsheng knew none of these things.

He had a strong liking for Song Panning and knew that Song Panning liked him, but precisely because of this, he could never agree to be with her.

He must marry Lin Wanjun; that's the only way to break the deadlock.

Therefore, even though Ling Shuxin was so shocked, and even though she knew Song Panning would be heartbroken, Yang Pingsheng still calmly said:

"I like her."

Since we won't be together, let's not have any expectations from the start.

Under Song Panning's almost stunned gaze, Yang Pingsheng stood up and said, "This is my matter, I will handle it myself."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Such a tough attitude was completely unlike the Yang Pingsheng they knew. Ling Shuxin stood there dumbfounded, making way for Yang Pingsheng and letting him leave the room. Only after he left did she look like she hadn't reacted and say to Song Panning, "Did he eat poisonous mushrooms today?"

"..."

Song Panning remained silent, sitting there without saying a word.

“He must have eaten poisonous mushrooms; he’s not thinking straight. I’m going to talk to him about it.”

As Ling Shuxin spoke, she was about to chase after Yang Pingsheng, but Song Panning stopped her: "Wait."

Ling Shuxin looked at her: "What are you waiting for?"

"Let me think about it."

Song Panning was skilled in planning and deep in thought.

She thought for a long time before slowly saying, "Something's not right."

Ling Shuxin asked, puzzled, "You also think he ate poisonous mushrooms?"

“It’s not about eating poisonous mushrooms.” Song Panning rolled her eyes at her speechlessly. “The way he’s acting is like he knows something and wants to keep his distance from me.”

"Damn, grandma, you can tell that too?"

“I don’t know him yet.” Song Panning snorted coldly. “He was fine the day before yesterday, but he’s turned out like this today. It seems the turning point must have been yesterday.”

"Yesterday? Didn't we take a break from school yesterday because we had to do extra practice? Did he get angry because you didn't wait for him? What the hell, what a masochist."

Song Panning was slightly speechless at her best friend's scatterbrained nature and tendency to occasionally blurt out a swear word that ruined her image. She composed herself and said, "He said he likes Miss Lin. I'm asking you, why would he like Miss Lin?"

"Because she's pretty?"

How does she compare to you?

"Of course I'm good-looking!"

"So, why does he like her but not you?"

"You mean..." Ling Shuxin's delicate body trembled, "Yang Pingsheng likes me!"

boom!

Song Panning punched her on the head.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" Ling Shuxin clutched her head, tears welling in her eyes. "Then tell me why?"

“That’s the problem.” Song Panning stood up and slowly walked out the door.

The servants reported that Yang Pingsheng had already left. Song Panning walked out the gate and looked at the end of the road with a shadow in her eyes.

Ling Shuxin, who followed her out, pressed, "So why? Just tell me!"

"First of all, it's definitely not because I like it."

As Song Panning spoke, she recalled Yang Pingsheng's appearance just now.

"His expression and attitude when he spoke were more like a way of taking responsibility. He wanted to keep his distance from me, but he didn't show any dislike for me. Even when he resisted, he did so in a gentle way. He didn't actually want to hurt me."

Song Panning looked at Ling Shuxin and slowly spoke:

"He doesn't want to hurt me, but someone wants him to leave me."

After saying that, she looked up at the sky.

Chapter 223 Gambling Battle

Lin Wanjun returned to her room, set up a warning array, and began to analyze the gains and losses.

Lin Wanjun was truly surprised that Song Panning actually liked Yang Pingsheng. To be honest, Lin Wanjun couldn't see through this friend who was also her enemy.

"Song Panning, do you really like that Yang Pingsheng? Or is this just a facade?"

The shadow of her past life was too great. The moment Song Panning tore off her disguise, a sea of ​​blood enveloped the entire city. Lin Wanjun looked up and saw only the other person's expressionless face.

She was so cold-blooded and ruthless that years of affection were nothing but a joke.

"Even if the butterfly effect changes some things on the timeline, it can never change Song Panning's nature. I've already been fooled by her once, and I can't be fooled a second time."

Lin Wanjun pursed her lips and pondered.

"That guy named Yang Pingsheng is also quite strange. Although there are no problems with the intelligence, I don't know why I can't see through him."

"The mysterious person asked me to get close to Yang Pingsheng and become his wife, but now it seems that Song Panning will not give me this opportunity."

“Now that my contact with Yang Pingsheng has been exposed, and Ling Shuxin and Song Panning are on good terms, if they join forces to cause me trouble, I will not be able to succeed. If Ling Shuxin is willing to stand up for Song Panning, then I will have one more enemy.”

Thinking about this gave Lin Wanjun a headache.

After her rebirth, she was only thinking about revenge and never imagined that she would have to compete with little kids for a man. This was an utter disgrace to her.

"Perhaps I can ignore the mysterious man and find a way to torture and kill Song Panning directly."

Lin Wanjun's mind raced with thoughts as she silently began to plot.

If she had just been reborn, her movements would have been limited, but now that she has made breakthroughs in array formations, and with her advanced knowledge, she might not be unable to fight Song Panning.

After all, the other party is just a twelve-year-old kid.

Even if Song Panning is truly gifted and her array formation skills are already superb, Lin Wanjun still has a chance. After all, her specialty is not array formations. As a goddess before her rebirth, her specialty is the Dance of the Goddess.

The Dance of the Goddess is a dance required for the position of a goddess. When performing this dance, spiritual energy circulates throughout the body, producing various effects. This world does not have the concept of immortal killing moves. Formations, talismans, and body cultivation are all part of body cultivation. The Dance of the Goddess requires the body to coordinate with the circulation of spiritual energy to achieve effects similar to immortal killing moves.

"My body is too weak right now, and the Dance of the Goddess is only the most basic dance technique. But with my understanding of the Dance of the Goddess, I might be able to defeat Song Panning."

"But that's Song Panning after all. Who knows what tricks she might be hiding? If I take the initiative, not only will I expose myself, but I'll also lose my current advantage. At least Song Panning doesn't consider me an enemy yet."

"If I were to take action forcefully, I might actually be fulfilling what the mysterious man said."

Lin Wanjun hesitated.

She has been reborn and only has this one chance. The Soul-Seizing Array is already destroyed, and she doesn't know any space-time type killing moves, so no matter what, she must be cautious.

Thinking of this, she took out the scroll given to her by the mysterious man, which contained instructions for action.

The scroll was unrolled, revealing a large sheet of paper with only a single sentence at the top: "Find Yang Pingsheng, marry him, and you will be able to successfully avenge yourself."

On the white scroll, there was a faint movement of spiritual energy. Lin Wanjun looked at it and her eyes suddenly widened.

"Huh, what's this?"

White spiritual energy lingered around the words, then suddenly guided downwards, revealing the second sentence: "Approaching ten years old, test the waters, do not act rashly."

"How mysterious. It seems to have been arranged in advance. Now that I look at it again, it has met certain conditions, so the second step of the instructions has emerged."

"If that's the case, it wouldn't hurt to listen. Regardless of whether we kill Song Panning now, it's always good to test the waters."

“If Song Panning did indeed have a backup plan, then what the mysterious man told me was correct. From now on, I will just follow the instructions on the scroll. If Song Panning can’t even pass my test, then there’s no need for her to follow what the mysterious man said.”

After considering her options, Lin Wanjun decided to remain still and send her recently recruited subordinates to probe the situation.

It just so happens that she has been reborn and has won over some people; now is the time to put them to use.

"Song Panning, do you dare to challenge me to a dance battle?"

On the first day of school reopening, a major event occurred at the college.

Miss Shen Qingqing of the Shen family wants to have a dance-off with Song Panning.

The Shen family is a family on par with the Song family. Although they are not as powerful as the Ling and Lin families, they are not far behind. Compared to the Song family gradually moving closer to the Ling family, the Shen family has always maintained a neutral stance. Their children participate in the Goddess Selection every year, which is basically just a formality.

Dance battles are quite common. A dance battle is essentially two people simultaneously using the "Dance of the Goddess" technique, employing different effects to either enhance themselves or weaken their opponent, to see whose dance can last the longest and look the best. Generally, friends practice with each other, only challenging each other to a dance battle when they dislike one another.

Shen Qingqing is Song Panning's classmate. The two usually don't interact much, and Song Panning doesn't know why the other girl would bother to challenge her to a dance battle.

School had just ended, and everyone was still together. Hearing there was something interesting to watch, they all swarmed over. Dance battles were commonplace and didn't involve anything life-threatening, so the teachers didn't stop them; they just stood there watching how things unfolded. Song Panning had originally wanted to talk to Yang Pingsheng about yesterday's events, but she never expected to get entangled in this. She could only frown slightly and look at Shen Qingqing: "Shen Qingqing, I didn't do anything to you, did I?"

"Heh, you and I have been preparing and practicing, and we'll be rivals in the future Goddess Election. Since we're rivals, what's the point of talking about provoking or not provoking each other?" Shen Qingqing said. "Are you going to refuse the fight?"

As soon as Shen Qingqing spoke, Song Panning's face turned cold.

Refusing to fight is not a good reputation. Song Panning herself doesn't care about these things, but if it gets to her mother's ears, her mother will most likely react negatively. After all, Song Panning's mother is usually like this whenever it comes to the goddess.

Shen Qingqing chose this particular time, without even making a private invitation, clearly not wanting to give Song Panning a chance to refuse. Since that was the case, Song Panning had nothing more to say and sneered, "Since you insist on coming here to be humiliated by me, then let's fight."

"Song Panning, you don't need to waste your breath on this. Who will humiliate whom is still uncertain. Since you've agreed, how about we have a dance-off in the courtyard now to prevent cheating?"

"can."

"Okay, let's go there now."

Shen Qingqing turned around and left with her supporters. The remaining supporters of Song Panning surrounded her, expressing their concern and worry. Song Panning comforted them one by one. When she turned around, she saw Ling Shuxin leaning against the door watching the fun, so she went over to her.

When did you arrive?

"When that idiot challenged you to a dance battle, I originally planned to come find you and me to go home together after school, but I didn't expect to see this scene. So, are you confident?"

“No.” Song Panning shook her head. “You know me. I have problems with my meridians. My spiritual energy flows intermittently. This problem has never been solved. In terms of endurance, I am inherently weaker than others.”

"Then what should we do? I'll go teach that guy a lesson for you."
