The improved female villains regained their memories.

Many years ago, in her third life, she fell from a tree and landed in Yang Pingsheng's arms. At that time, he still treated her like a child. But now, she has jumped over the wall on her own initiative, and he can no longer treat her like a child.

“I’m really happy that this way I can stay with my husband forever.”

Her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were filled with happy fantasies. For Xu Anlu, the royal status that was unattainable for ordinary people was far less important than being with her husband. Yang Pingsheng stroked her hair and remembered what Song Panning had said. She was right. Nowadays, female villains couldn't live without him.

"I was thinking that since I'm leaving today, I'd like to have one last good time at Shanglin Garden. Since you're here too, why don't you come with me?"

She still longed to go out and have fun with her husband.

Just like in the third life, we climbed mountains together, went shopping together, fished together, and played in the water together.

Xu Anlu has never changed.

Majestic and domineering, invincible under heaven, she can reduce everything to ashes with a wave of her hand, her strength rivaling that of a true immortal. Yet, she is also lively and cheerful, with a childlike heart and a curiosity about everything. Compared to the former, the latter Xu Anlu may be the true version of herself.

Yang Pingsheng closed his eyes, feeling the girl's passion. She was so real, right here in his arms at this moment.

As hot as lava, as gentle as spring.

As if Yang Pingsheng had returned in his third life, he spoke softly:

"Then have a good day, Lu."

Shanglin Garden was a royal garden.

It was both a scenic spot and a hunting ground for the princes, and the prey was no ordinary prey, but all of them were demonic beasts.

The outermost layer consists of demonic beasts that have just come into contact with spiritual energy, the middle layer consists of demonic beasts that have awakened spiritual energy, and the deepest layer consists of demonic beasts imprisoned by an array, which are said to have cultivated patterns and runes, and whose strength is comparable to that of celestial beings.

Xu Anlu was originally staying at Shanglin Garden, but she only rushed over after sensing Yang Pingsheng's presence. Now, with Xu Anlu's guidance, Yang Pingsheng naturally arrived at Shanglin Garden smoothly and saw this so-called scenic wonder with his own eyes.

Mountains, lakes, rivers—standing on the high platform and gazing into the distance, one feels as if they are in the mountains and forests, completely forgetting that they are in the palace of the capital.

According to Xu Anlu, the landscape of Shanglin Garden was created by a powerful immortal. She didn't know who it was, but she could sense that something related to the Great Dao was hidden deep within Shanglin Garden.

"Hey!"

Sunlight shone on Xu Anlu's face. The excited girl shouted and punched a bull demon as tall as a two-story building to death. She shook her hand, stood on the bull demon's corpse, and waved to Yang Pingsheng.

"Sir, look at me! Look at me!"

With that, she leaped down again, charging like a cannonball into the nearby wolf pack. The wolves scattered and fled, none daring to provoke this little tyrant.

This sight reminded Yang Pingsheng of his third life, when the girl was just like that, getting along well with the animals in the mountains and forests, even kicking the passing monkeys.

She ran around and jumped about, as lively as a rabbit, making all the monsters miserable. No one dared to really fight her. The fate of the bull demon was right before their eyes, and these monsters wanted to live a few more days.

Yang Pingsheng sat quietly under the tree, watching. Suddenly, he saw Xu Anlu walk back with her head down, looking dejected. So he asked, "What's wrong?"

"I miss Xiaojiu and Xiaoduo."

Xu Anlu raised her head, her delicate face now covered in tears.

“No animal like that will ever be close to me again, sir. Is the past truly gone forever?”

Xu Anlu's strength is growing stronger and stronger. The animals are afraid, the monsters are terrified, and the familiar little tuft and little ears are left in that world. So the answer is yes.

Yang Pingsheng beckoned her over, patted her head, and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to grow up? That's what growth is like. When you become stronger and stronger, some things will always fall behind your pace."

"But I miss those days."

"Life is meant to be lived, not reminisced about, Xiao Lu."

Yang Pingsheng paused for a moment, then continued, "At least for now, I'm still by your side."

Xu Anlu burst into laughter through her tears and hugged Yang Pingsheng tightly, refusing to let go.

Next, they went hiking and fishing. Yang Pingsheng accompanied Xu Anlu to do everything she insisted on doing.

The wind was gentle, and even the sunlight seemed softer. The campfire burned slowly, and Xu Anlu, having eaten grilled fish, fell asleep in Yang Pingsheng's arms.

A happy smile graced her lips, and her disheveled hair fell across her snow-white collarbone, like a streak of color on a sheet of unfurled rice paper.

Her emotions, accompanying this trip, gradually became fervent, yearning, joyful, and happy, and finally, washed away by countless moments of time, transformed into a peaceful happiness.

At least for now, Xu Anlu is happy.

Yang Pingsheng was playing with her hair when he sensed something. He looked up and saw Song Panning standing in front of him with a food box in her hand.

So he asked, "When did you arrive?"

Song Panning replied, "It's been a while. Seeing that you were having a good time, I didn't want to disturb you."

She sat down next to Yang Pingsheng, opened the food box, carefully picked up a piece of the exquisite pastry inside, and handed it to Yang Pingsheng: "Pastries from Kunning Palace, a gift from the Empress, please try them."

Yang Pingsheng had already promised to accompany Song Panning to eat pastries, so he naturally wouldn't refuse and took them and put them in his mouth.

It has a lingering fragrance, is soft and delicate, and has no grainy texture whatsoever. It is indeed an extremely delicious pastry.

“It’s delicious,” Yang Pingsheng said.

Song Panning smiled and said, "I knew it would suit your taste. Since you like it, eat more."

As she spoke, she pushed the food box toward Yang Pingsheng.

Yang Pingsheng turned his head to look at the goddess he once knew. Although her height seemed to be slightly different from what he remembered, her appearance was still the same. After so long, she was still the same, pure and innocent, but her heart was like an abyss, like a datura flower in hell. Her charm could only be seen when people fell into despair.

"Was this also part of your plan?"

Yang Pingsheng looked at Xu Anlu in his arms and asked.

Song Panning remained noncommittal, but answered Yang Pingsheng's question in a different way: "Just like I said before, villains always need to be united."

Therefore, it is best for him to step forward and appease them one by one.

Yang Pingsheng thought.

He has special bonds and connections with the female villains, and only he knows about them. So, when Yang Pingsheng leads them into his inner desires, things like being the legal wife and vying for favor may no longer matter.

Most of the female villains share the same thought: as long as they are happy now, that's enough.

"who is the next?"

"There's a temple fair in the capital tonight. You can take your sister to have some fun."

Yang Pingsheng didn't say anything more. Since Song Panning had made the arrangements, he would just do as she said.

A gentle breeze ruffled his hair, and Song Panning was staring intently at him, as if she had something to say.

Yang Pingsheng understood immediately and took the initiative to ask, "How did the interrogation go yesterday?"

“That black cat said quite a bit, mostly about the Guardian Heaven Sect and the Mother System. I’ll organize it and tell you later.” She said, still looking at him, indicating that she hadn’t asked the key point.

Yang Pingsheng thought for a moment and roughly understood, so he asked, "How's the system?"

"It got beaten up, but luckily it didn't die. It's just that your sister castrated it, and now I've left it in the woodshed, keeping it alive with a healing array."

The former companion is now not only a different species, but even a different gender. Yang Pingsheng sighed helplessly, wondering if the Heavenly Dao had shown any intention to save it when it was castrated last night, since it used to always be shouting about the Heavenly Dao.

It seems that it no longer exists.

Everything proceeded as Song Panning had predicted. Yang Pingsheng stroked Xu Anlu's hair, looked into the distance, and suddenly, in a daze, called out the goddess's name: "Panning."

Song Panning smiled, showing no sign of being offended. Instead, she tilted her head and softly replied, "Hmm?"

Will we really win?

"Who knows? We might lose."

No one can win 100% of the time.

In a battle between two sides, a draw is rare, especially when the fighting gets heated. The winner will undoubtedly crush the loser, ensuring they never recover.

Song Panning is skilled in scheming, but her opponent is, after all, the Guardian Sect, which has the support of the Heavenly Dao. No matter how you look at it, her chances of winning are not high.

However, Yang Pingsheng said, "Yes, not necessarily, but I believe you."

He fell silent, then added, "You're right. As long as the goddess and her followers trust each other, that's enough."

Feeling more carefree than ever before, Song Panning closed her eyes, then opened them again, took Yang Pingsheng's hand, placed the pastry in his palm, and smiled gently.

"Let's continue eating pastries."

Chapter 313 The Only Way to Make Luo Benmo Obey

"Chief, there's something I'm not sure if I should say."

"explain."

"Do we really have to meet at the wonton stall?"

The monkey made a face and said, "I don't want to eat wontons anymore."

The crossroads of the commercial street, and the wonton stalls next to it, have now become a den of thugs.

At first, the boss was worried, wondering what kind of people this group of people were, but later he came to terms with it. These people always made him leave work early, so why not?

The villains of the den of villains gathered in twos and threes, filling all the tables. Tie Niu, Du Lang, Ling Hou, and Luo Benmo were at a separate table. Ling Hou was sitting next to Luo Benmo, looking at the wontons in front of him, his face turning green.

"I really don't want to eat this stuff again," he said.

Tie Niu ate heartily; he never picked and chose his food. Lone Wolf was the same way; he was always preoccupied with other things and didn't care what they ate when they met. Of the trio, Ling Hou was the most troublesome, so Luo Benmo's face darkened.

"Eat if you want, or get out."

The monkey, with a pained expression, forced itself to eat. After shoving the monkey back, Luo Benmo looked at the lone wolf and said, "Go on."

"it is good."

Lone Wolf nodded. His thoughts had just been interrupted by the clever monkey, and now that the monkey was silent, he picked up his chopsticks and gestured as he spoke:

"As you just said, the so-called system has malfunctioned, and Yang Pingsheng has become the villain. So, this might be our opportunity."

He talked on and on, but Luo Benmo listened with one ear and let it go with the other, his mind preoccupied with yesterday.

Last night, under interrogation by several female villains, the system confessed everything.

The Human Chess Project, the Guardian Heaven Sect, the inability to contact the Mother System, and so on—aside from Xiaoyu's identity, it revealed everything about the Guardian Heaven Sect.

Regarding Xiaoyu, Luo Benmo noticed that the creature seemed to be under some kind of restriction, so he didn't force it to talk. Instead, the human chess plan threw Luo Benmo into a state of turmoil, to the point that he didn't even see Yang Pingsheng before running out so early in the morning.

According to the system, she had been tricked from the moment they met. Although she had expected it, Luo Benmo still couldn't help but fly into a rage when the system revealed all of this.

After the rage comes confusion and emptiness.
