The improved female villains regained their memories.

The system stopped in front of Yang Pingsheng, the ball of light getting closer, leaving him nowhere to look.

"It's nothing, I just have a feeling that this sect is a bit..."

That's a bit too much about social niceties.

In those previous worlds, immortals were ruthless, and a disagreement would lead to a fight. Even the mountain city of the fifth world and the royal academy of the sixth world were not as considerate of human relationships as this world. As the sect leader of the Kongling Sect, what's wrong with Li Yaoyang wanting to acknowledge an illegitimate daughter? In other worlds, he would have readily acknowledged her, but in this world, he was timid and overly concerned about what others thought.

It fits the mortal world well, but not quite the immortal world.

If Li Yaoyang hadn't been so timid, this plan wouldn't have been possible. Yang Pingsheng wondered if it was because of the unspoken rules that people in this world followed that this plan, which seemed useless to other villains, was useful to the female villain in this life.

A sect that values ​​human relationships and unspoken rules, facing a naturally born orc child...

Yang Pingsheng snapped out of his thoughts and sensed a certain cruelty in the plan.

He took out a magical artifact and, with the help of the system, easily altered its function.

"Done," the system said. "Now, this magical artifact will only react to female villains."

Yang Pingsheng said nothing, stood in front of the door, hands behind his back, looking at the scenery outside.

Another gust of wind blew.

In the afternoon, Yang Pingsheng was about to go out when he bumped into his youngest female apprentice, Xiao Geyun.

"Master."

"Hmm." Yang Pingsheng stopped and nodded indifferently.

School Song Yun bowed respectfully, and watching Yang Pingsheng walk out, she asked curiously, "Master, are you going out?"

All the disciples knew that their master didn't like to go out.

"Hmm." He nodded indifferently again.

"Master, I have some questions about formations that I'd like to ask you, you..."

It turned out they came to ask for advice. Yang Pingsheng had a headache. Killing moves aside, he knew absolutely nothing about formations.

"I have something to discuss with you. You should consult your senior brothers and sisters."

"Senior Brother has gone to the Spirit Pool, and Second Senior Brother and Third Senior Sister are out on a mission and haven't returned yet." As if noticing Yang Pingsheng's displeasure, Xiao Geyun's voice softened by a third.

"What's wrong with the formation?"

"Regarding the stability of the formation and the possible structure of spiritual energy molecules."

I can't understand it at all.

"I have some matters to attend to outside the sect," Yang Pingsheng said. "Go and consult with other senior brothers and sisters first. If it doesn't work, wait for me to return."

"Yes."

The school song cloud bowed its head, and when it looked up again, its master was already far away.

She touched her chin, feeling that her master was acting strangely.

Once outside the Kongling Sect, there were vast mountains and forests. Following the address given by Li Yaoyang, Yang Pingsheng quickly found the small mountain village from back then.

This small mountain village is nestled in the mountains, surrounded on all sides, and only accessible by a single mountain road, making it exceptionally isolated.

Yang Pingsheng landed, disguised himself as an ordinary person, and sneaked into the village to inquire about the female villain.

As night fell, he checked into a room provided by a kind family. Just then, it started raining heavily outside, the rain pattering down like hail.

Yang Pingsheng closed the window, lit a candle, then woke up the system and asked, "Can't we just lock onto the female villain's location?"

The system now manifested as a sparrow, which hopped onto Yang Pingsheng's hand, flapped its wings, and said, "Difficult."

The female villain's secret treasure transformed into a human, and she absorbed boundless power from the Primordial Void, making her difficult to locate even by the system.

"According to the description of [Heavenly Dao], the range is roughly this area. Then, with wolf ears, a wolf tail, and purple hair, these obvious features should make it easy to find."

Fine.

On a rainy night, Yang Pingsheng no longer pretended to be an ordinary person, but instead looked down upon the entire earth as if he were an immortal.

According to the information we received from the village chief today, there are beastman tribes on the east and west sides of the mountain. They also consider themselves human, so they usually don't do anything to this village. On the contrary, the village can even conduct some trade with them.

There are two orc tribes, one of foxes and one of wolves. The fox tribe is relatively friendly, and the village has more contact with them. The wolf tribe generally does not interact with the village unless the village needs to build something.

Yang Pingsheng asked the system, "Is the female villain a fox or a wolf?"

"This..." the system paused, "I'm not really sure..."

Yang Pingsheng then asked, "Is Li Yaoyang's biological daughter a fox or a wolf?"

"...Heaven didn't say that."

If that's the case, then it's going to be difficult.

Yang Pingsheng only knew that Li Yaoyang's biological daughter and the female villain had the same features: purple hair, ears, and tails. However, they were of different races: one was a fox, and the other was a wolf. But Yang Pingsheng didn't know who the fox and the wolf were.

Which one is it?

"I think it's a fox, hmm..." the system said, "Or maybe a wolf. By the way, are wolves and foxes that different?"

A useless, pointless statement.

Yang Pingsheng sighed, deciding he could only start by looking for the purple-haired ones.

Boom!

A flash of lightning streaked across the sky.

In the torrential rain, the river swelled rapidly, and Yang Pingsheng quickly spotted a purple-haired orc child. She was wearing rough cloth clothes, and her large gray-white tail swayed from side to side as she braved the downpour to catch fish in the river.

Yang Pingsheng landed in front of her. She had just caught a fish in the river when she saw Yang Pingsheng. She immediately became alert, and her ears and tail stood up at the same time.

“Mine,” she said, holding the fish.

Chapter 404 Gratitude and Hatred

"Is it her?" Yang Pingsheng asked.

The system, hidden behind the rain, scanned the area briefly: "Fox, not sure."

"At least tell me if this kid is a villain. Can't you scan him?"

"...Hehehe, I've run out of energy." The system was a little embarrassed. It felt that there was probably no use for it in this world, so it used all its energy to transform and play around.

The system dictates that you should play recklessly at the start of each game, and then run out of energy to save up.

Yang Pingsheng had a headache. Suddenly, he realized that the system had modified the magical artifacts, making them only effective against female villains. In that case, there was no need to use the system anymore.

He took out his magical artifact and swept it lightly, but there was no reaction at all.

It seems not.

The girl was a little scared when she saw Yang Pingsheng take out the magic weapon, and she shrank back while hugging the fish.

“This is mine,” she repeated. “You have to go and get it yourself.”

The drizzling rain kept pattering on her tiny body. Her fluffy tail was soaking wet, like a waterlogged sponge, and her ears stood up high, as if on alert.

Now that it's decided, things will be easier. After calculating the time, Yang Pingsheng decided to leave.

But when he saw the child, he stopped in his tracks.

"Hey, hey, hey," the system said, "Don't tell me you're being overly kind again."

"On such a rainy day, why is this child catching fish to eat by himself here?"

"The orc tribes are not like us. Each tribe has its own rules. Some are based on the survival of the fittest, some on distribution according to work, some despise mixed-race people, and some value kinship. This child's father is human after all, so I guess he's not having a good time in the tribe."

Water sprayed everywhere. Yang Pingsheng looked down as his floating body gradually descended.

The system was sweating bullets: "Hey, hey, hey..."

"System, I don't see any time requirement in the plan," Yang Pingsheng said. "A day later shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"...No problem, but this is the third to last one after all, wouldn't it be better to finish it sooner..."

The system's voice gradually faded, and finally it fell silent.

Presumably tacitly approving Yang Pingsheng's actions, the system returned to Yang Pingsheng's body and disappeared.

"What's your name?" Yang Pingsheng landed and waved his hand slightly, using his spiritual energy to shield most of the rain.

Seeing Yang Pingsheng's actions, the girl shrank back in fear and whispered, "I don't have a name."

"So how do your people address you?"

“The puppy,” she answered, her eyes filled with melancholy.

"How old are you?"

"What do you mean by 'big'?"

"How old are you?"

"Hmm... eleven?"

"is it?"

"I don't know," the girl said softly. "Grandma said I'm eleven."

"You live with your maternal grandmother?"

"Ah."

Where are your parents?

"My father never saw me, and my mother died when she gave birth to me, so she never saw me either."

"Please, don't take my fish." She looked up at Yang Pingsheng. "Grandma hasn't eaten for days. This is for her. I'll kneel down and beg you, please don't take my fish, okay?"

She was neither the female lead nor a villain; in the Heavenly Dao Plan, she was at most a passerby. In the paused rain, her eyes were filled with fear as she looked at him, about to kneel down.

Yang Pingsheng helped her up.

"I won't steal your fish," Yang Pingsheng said softly. "There are plenty of fish here, aren't there?"

The girl nodded.

How will you eat the fish you catch?
