The improved female villains regained their memories.

Li Tianfei rambled on and on, seemingly a little drunk. Zhang Yijian listened in silence, his thoughts drifting elsewhere.

Speaking of owing a life, he also owed the blonde girl a life.

For no reason, he thought of the past, of his time in the village, and how the blonde girl, seeing him being bullied by the villagers, led him into the world of weapon crafting.

After Lin Xueyao and Chen Ziyun returned home, neither of them spoke.

In the pitch-black room, without turning on the lights, they sat facing each other, their eyes each glancing to one side.

"Hey, what do you think?" Lin Xueyao suddenly asked.

"You little brat, you scared me!" Chen Ziyun said. Actually, he wasn't scared, but he just wanted to be sarcastic. "What else can I think? Use your brain."

Lin Xueyao turned her head, squinted slightly, and looked at the dwarf-like man in the darkness, saying, "You've already made up your mind, haven't you?"

"Decid what?"

"I think you want to get involved in this matter."

There was no reply for a long time in the darkness. After a while, he finally said, "You old hag, you're so nosy."

Lin Xueyao's slightly narrowed eyes suddenly lit up with a smile: "If you wanted to get involved, why didn't you say so earlier, instead of saying 'Only a fool would meddle in this kind of thing'?"

"Is there anything wrong with what I said? Whether it's the main world or the secondary world, these are not things we can get involved in. Who cares what's outside the world? Just live your own life."

"As a weapon refiner, don't you have any thirst for knowledge?"

"No, no, I was just doing weapon forging to make a living..."

After saying this, he suddenly fell silent.

"But there's nothing I can do, what can I do when I owe that guy?" The man's voice echoed in the darkness.

“Me too,” Lin Xueyao said with her eyes closed.

The night is getting darker.

Neither the couple said a word.

Later, the lights came on; it was Lin Xueyao who turned them on.

"To be honest, I didn't do anything with those kids," Lin Xueyao said.

“I didn’t have time to steal food from beggars; I made it all myself,” Chen Ziyun replied.

The couple spoke, their voices eventually fading into the darkness.

"This matter cannot be ignored."

"Yes, what we owed her, we've repaid through her children."

"By the way, did she hit you today?"

"Yes, it hurt a lot when you hit me."

"She didn't recognize you?"

"No."

"Serves you right for always making minor adjustments to your face until you're unrecognizable!"

"Shut up!"

-----------------

The immortal's family was slaughtered by his enemies. In order to avenge them, the immortal cultivated his strength, but in the end, he was overwhelmed and was seriously injured in battle.

While traveling the martial arts world, Shi Guijia met this down-on-his-luck immortal.

"Isn't it normal for a dignified Earth Immortal to be unable to defeat a Celestial Immortal? Why are you so dejected?"

Despair filled the immortal's eyes as he looked at the blonde girl before him and sighed, "My talent is limited, and I can never ascend to the Heavenly Immortal realm. That person is a master of formations and is also a naturally born immortal with the talent of being immune to all poisons. I have no way to defeat him with elixirs or formations."

"Since none of these work, how about we try weapon crafting?"

"Weapon crafting..." The immortal hesitated for a moment. "Only immortals of royal lineage can learn weapon crafting, but I am just a rogue cultivator. Before becoming an Earth Immortal, I am merely a commoner."

"So what if you're a nobody? It's just weapon crafting. Do you think I'll teach you?"

"...Would you be willing to teach me?"

"Why wouldn't I be willing? If you're willing to learn, I'm naturally willing to teach you!"

The immortal swallowed hard, looking at the girl in disbelief: "For weapon refiners, inspiration is the most important thing. Aren't you afraid that if you teach me, I will surpass you?"

The blonde girl laughed loudly: "My goal is to become the number one weapon refiner in the world. Since I'm the number one, why would I be afraid of others surpassing me? Enough with the nonsense, are you going to learn or not?"

"study……"

The immortal, guided by the young girl, unleashed boundless potential in weapon crafting, ultimately slaying his enemy and avenging his blood relatives.

Zhangjia Village.

This place is isolated from the world. The boy was quiet and inflexible from a young age, and only had physical strength, so he was called Zhang Han (meaning "simple-minded").

His mother ran away with someone when he was young, and his father was killed by a falling rock while building a bridge. The village chief compensated him with a pig and two chickens, which was considered an indemnity for his father's life.

He was neither good at speaking nor at flattering others; he only knew how to exert himself, so he was often ridiculed by the villagers and treated like a fool.

The blonde girl, traveling through the area, couldn't stand seeing a group of people bullying a fool, so she flew into a rage and beat them all up.

She beat the schoolteacher when he came, she beat the government officials when they came, and even when the village chief came and tried to calm her down, she beat him up too.

When she entered Zhang Han's house with the compensation money she had asked for from the village chief, she was shocked by what he had carved.

"what is this?"

"sword."

"You did all of this?"

"Ah."

"There's spiritual energy above you. Are you a born immortal?"

"Ah."

Why only carve swords?

“My father told me to be a gentleman, and my teacher said that only gentlemen carry swords, so I like swords.”

"This is the compensation they're giving your father as compensation." The blonde girl tossed a bag of money over. "Also, are you interested in learning weapon crafting?"

"Weapon crafting?"

"Yes, I'll teach you sword forging. Do you want to learn?"

"study."

After a burst of sword light pierced the sky, Zhang Han was no more in Zhangjia Village.

------------------

That winter, the woman's house burned down.

With her appearance ruined, she lost everything. The man she loved abandoned her, and her family, unable to arrange a marriage because of her, abandoned her from then on.

She no longer had the will to live and wanted to hang herself in the suburbs.

She was saved by the blonde girl just moments before she was about to commit suicide.

Why did you seek death?

"I don't want to live anymore."

Why don't you want to live?

"The person I love doesn't want me anymore because I'm disfigured, and I have nowhere to stay at home. What's the point of me living?"

The woman spoke, then covered her face and wept.

The blonde girl grabbed her hand, felt it for a moment, and asked, "A divine presence?"

"Yes, my father wants me to marry a cultivator, so he made me take a Transcendent Pill."

"Can you control spiritual energy?"

"can."

"Want to learn weapon crafting?"

"what is that?"

"Something that can make you feel completely refreshed."

"Me?" The woman froze, her sobs momentarily ceasing. "Me, completely transformed?"

"Yes, it's completely transformed."

The blonde girl reached out her hand to her:

"I'll teach you weapon crafting, and from now on, I guarantee you'll be completely transformed."

----

In the suburbs, at the mountain god temple.

The blonde girl and the beggar sat cross-legged, with a pot of soup simmering in front of them.

"You, a dignified immortal, actually disguise yourself as a beggar to steal? Have you no shame?"

"Do you think I want this?" the beggar said angrily. "I was raised in the Bone Cave since I was a child. Everyone there is like this. What am I supposed to do?"

The White Bone Cave is a demonic sect.

They would collect orphans from all over the country and feed them elixirs from a young age to prevent their bones from growing. At the same time, they would use forbidden killing techniques on them. After they became earth immortals, they would make them pretend to be geniuses and infiltrate righteous sects.

Forbidden killing moves effectively concealed their ages, making it impossible for even righteous sects to detect them, thus causing the White Bone Cave to suffer repeated setbacks.

The beggar next to the blonde girl was quite an oddball. He had no interest in arson, murder, rape, or being an undercover agent. He just wanted to apply to a sect to play the role of a pitiful, genius orphan on the roadside, specifically to deceive immortals who wanted to take him as a disciple.

He hadn't done anything particularly bad; at most, he'd stolen some treasures from immortals. He'd just avoid tough opponents. But today, he'd run into the blonde girl, misjudged her, and was completely overwhelmed by her vast array of magical artifacts.

"I think you have a rather unique way of thinking."
