The improved female villains regained their memories.

That is, to let Yang Luoyi and her sister live happily together.

"Hey, this is your daughter, at least come and see her!"

"Even if you're not fully conscious, you shouldn't be this bad. That's your daughter, your daughter!"

"You bastard, listen to me properly!"

She's becoming more and more like her older sister, not only in her way of thinking but also in her actions.

"Sis, let's go for a walk together."

"...Where are you going?"

"You can go anywhere you want, whether it's the sunrise at Lingxue Peak, the wishing well at Shenlong Lake, or the spring water at Tianlin Mountain Villa."

From then on, she held onto this wish.

If my sister can get through this.

If the older sister and Luo Yi can acknowledge each other.

If that man reappears someday...

She always harbored similar fantasies, and therefore, she tried again and again.

The older sister's love was missing, and so was Yang Luoyi's love, but she still didn't give up, hoping that one day, the two of them could both find equal happiness.

"If that day ever comes, does it mean that what I've done wasn't entirely in vain?"

If that day ever comes...

Have you ever noticed that, very close by, there is someone else, so stubborn and foolish, loving them in their own way?

Chapter 355 Dispersing Like Smoke

She was not surprised to receive the royal invitation.

Firstly, she is a royal-certified weapon refiner; secondly, she is quite skilled and experienced in the matter of sacrificial weapons. It wouldn't seem suspicious for them to come to her for this kind of problem.

The incident happened suddenly and was related to a catastrophe, so she had to go.

But before she went, she had to make arrangements for Yang Luoyi.

Perhaps, this is a chance for her to reconcile with her mother, she thought.

"Here's the thing, Luoyi, your aunt has to take care of something very important. It will probably take about three months. During this time, you'll be living with your mother, okay?"

"Look!" She proudly displayed various toys she had made. "Auntie made you a lot of toys. It only takes three months. When Auntie comes back, she will definitely pick you up as soon as possible, okay?"

Before she could coax Yang Luoyi, she would always take out a newly made toy. She knew that Yang Luoyi liked these toys, even though she would secretly take them apart every time.

"Mmm..." Yang Luo responded, as obedient as ever.

"Good boy, good boy!"

And so, she took Yang Luoyi's hand and led her to where her sister lived.

"It's chaotic as always..."

She cleaned the entire room, thoughtfully put the money away, and wrote a note on it.

After she finished doing all this, she realized that Yang Luoyi was standing behind her watching her.

Her sea-blue hair was hidden in the darkness, but her worried gaze could not be concealed.

"Auntie, are you really leaving?"

She shuddered, and in a daze, she seemed to see her former self.

"Yes, when your aunt comes back, she'll bring you and your mother some delicious food."

Yang Luo nodded vigorously: "Okay, Auntie, you have to come back soon."

She looked more and more like him. She lowered her head, her blonde hair covering her face, concealing her sadness and loneliness.

She composed herself, raised her head, and smiled.

"Then Luo Yi, I'm entrusting your mother to your care."

Yang Luo nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

She smiled and raised her fist: "Is it a promise?"

Yang Luoyi also stretched out her fist and said, "Mm!"

Two fists, one big and one small, collided.

She stood up, patted Yang Luoyi's head one last time, and stepped out.

Yang Luo called out from behind, "Auntie, have a safe journey."

She turned her head and gave her a smile: "Mm!"

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

She didn't have a good impression of the emperor.

It wasn't just that royal policies clashed with her sister's dreams; more importantly, she hadn't been raised by the emperor from childhood, and the word "father" was far more unfamiliar to her than "Adie."

Even so, she still managed to secure a position in the royal family, probably because of her sister's words back then: "My path is not suitable for you."

She may not be as talented as her older sister, but her talent is enough to make her stand out in the weapon refiner academy.

Upon arriving at the palace, she was greeted by a special person and led to a separate palace to rest. Due to her royal lineage, she was given a private room.

This time, it wasn't just her who came; many people came too—her teachers, colleagues, and most of them were summoned by the royal family to repair the ritual vessels.

She keenly sensed something was amiss; there seemed to be an unusually large number of people present this time.

She grabbed a familiar eunuch and asked him, "Eunuch Hai, what exactly happened with the sacrificial vessels this time? Why did His Majesty have to go to such lengths?"

“It’s Her Highness the Princess…” Eunuch Hai, one of the twelve eunuchs in the main hall, looked around to make sure no one was watching, and whispered to her, “The problem with the sacrificial vessels is secondary; the main issue is that someone from above has arrived. This is an imperial decree, and His Majesty has no choice but to obey.”

He secretly raised his hand and pointed to the sky.

Oh my god... she knew something, and didn't ask any more questions.

At night, when no one was around, she went to the place where the sacrificial artifacts were located.

That was the so-called forbidden area of ​​the imperial palace, known only to the emperor, a few princes, and weapon refiners, who knew what was hidden there.

The celestial being who was guarding her was not there, which allowed her to easily sneak in.

Deep within the forbidden area, in the center of the royal garden, a beam of light descended from the sky, concealed by some kind of formation.

She looked up following the light and saw a sphere of light at the edge of the sky, a broken sphere of light.

She stared intently, and for some reason, she thought of what her older sister had gone through, and murmured, "Heavens..."

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

This catastrophe seems to be more severe than before.

After some time, these long-idle weapon refiners were finally informed of this fact.

The eunuch who came to inform her said that the emperor had already consulted a fortune teller, and the reason he had gathered all the high-level weapon refiners this time was mainly in preparation for the future apocalyptic catastrophe. He planned to carry out a large-scale maintenance and repair.

He couldn't say exactly what it was, only that the emperor would inform her of everything when the emperor summoned her to the main hall the next day.

She saw the eunuch off and was pondering her next move when the phone rang.

It was my older sister calling.

A certain prophecy in her heart was confirmed, and like a little devil who had succeeded, she felt unusually good. If everything had gone smoothly, she would have known why her older sister had chosen to call at this time.

Five days. Today is Yang Luo's last day of rest.

Just as I expected, my older sister was indeed getting along well with that child.

So she answered the phone decisively, smiling as she asked, "How was your time?"

The person on the other end seemed taken aback by her reaction, and after a long pause, finally replied, "...It's alright."

"Not bad" doesn't mean "Not bad" = "Having a great time." She knew her older sister's personality and understood what she was trying to express subconsciously.

She was genuinely happy for her.

This is a very good step towards achieving happiness for both people.

But most importantly, we need to help my older sister rediscover her dreams.

So she suggested, "That child is very interested in weapon crafting and has a talent for it. Why don't you teach her?"

The older sister hesitated as expected: "If you've taught me, that's enough."

"Can my teaching be the same as yours? Besides, you're much better than me. How about it, think about it and teach her. You don't want your skills to die out, do you?"

My older sister coughed, changing the subject.

But she knew that her older sister had already agreed.

She knew that she was stubborn but soft-hearted; the more she tried to avoid something, the more she actually wanted to be it.

Over the years, her attitude towards Yang Luoyi has always been the same: both avoiding him and being reluctant to let him go. The most important thing is still that man.

This is the bond left behind by that man.

Before hanging up, she smiled and said, "Sister, don't make Xiao Luoyi sad."

"……understood."

Then, the other party hung up the phone as if trying to avoid the conversation.

She paused for a moment, then smiled: "Tsundere."

This was a word she learned from that man.

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

This is a scam.

She only realized the problem when the aura of corpses spread out.

Before entering the main hall, all her magical artifacts were taken away. Therefore, when the emperor was forced to enter the hall, these artifact refiners had no chance to retaliate.

And she finally understood why the celestial beings who were supposed to be guarding her that night were all gone.
