The improved female villains regained their memories.

"It's just a gut feeling. You know, this person is Li Yaoyang's sister-in-law. Even though she won't be appearing in the later plot, it's still more reassuring to have her here."

At this point, Yang Pingsheng added, "After all, although the background of the other people's Heavenly Dao Plan was mentioned, didn't they all come in handy later?"

Reasonable.

The system was speechless.

"So what are we going to do with her now?" the system asked after a while.

“I want to see her,” Yang Pingsheng replied. “Is that not allowed? This shouldn’t go against the will of Heaven, should it?”

"Hmm...it doesn't seem to go against my wishes."

If that's the case, why bother going to see them?

The system didn't quite understand what Yang Pingsheng was thinking.

"I must warn you, involving unrelated people in the Heavenly Dao Plan could lead to chaos."

"I know," Yang Pingsheng replied briefly, increasing his speed.

At the residence outside the woods, Qing Xuelan was already waiting.

The hustle and bustle of the city did not affect the tranquility here. She tidied up the courtyard, which was unusual for her, and then used a secret technique to build a pavilion.

She walked up barefoot, turned around and waited. Her beautiful face showed a rare calmness. Her thick eyelashes were smooth, and even the fox demon's natural fragrance was completely suppressed, leaving only a faint scent.

The cold wind in the forest rustled her clothes, and when she saw Yang Pingsheng fall from the sky, she finally smiled.

She knew she had made the right bet.

That fierce little brat possesses an unknown power; he was thrown down by someone to undergo training.

It was no coincidence that she was able to see and come into contact with him on that street; it was a deliberate arrangement.

The person who threw her there knew her methods, knew her identity, and might even know what she and Wang Shan had done.

Chess pieces...

Qing Xuelan didn't seem to care at all, and gave Yang Pingsheng a slight bow, a smile playing at the corners of her eyes:

“My lord, I have been waiting here for a long time.”

She bowed slightly and made a gesture.

"Please take a seat."

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

Yang Pingsheng left Qing Xuelan's residence the next morning.

When he returned to the rented house, the little one was already awake, huddled in a corner shivering. Perhaps thinking she had been abandoned a second time, she clung to Yang Pingsheng and refused to get down, snuggling and whimpering.

Yang Pingsheng comforted her, helped her take a bath, changed her into a new set of clean clothes, and finally cooked a sumptuous meal before the little one was willing to come down.

Even so, her eyes remained fixed on Yang Pingsheng, unwilling to leave.

"In that case, Heaven's plan can begin," the system's voice announced.

Whether Li Chumo's feelings for Yang Pingsheng are dependence or longing, as long as there are emotions involved, the script of fate can continue.

Only Yang Pingsheng remained absent-minded, seemingly thinking about something else.

On the way back on the sword, Li Chumo fell asleep again in Yang Pingsheng's arms. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the system transformed into a crow and flew to Yang Pingsheng's shoulder.

"Why do you seem distracted? Are you still thinking about Qing Xuelan?"

"No, I was thinking about something else," Yang Pingsheng replied, then suddenly asked, "Speaking of which, is it alright if I explain the principle behind the deadly move 'Zhou Shui Stagnation' to Qing Xuelan?"

"No problem. Although I gave you the killing move, you can explain the principles behind it without interfering with the Heavenly Dao's plan, so of course it's fine."

Last night, as payment for her cooperation, Yang Pingsheng explained to her the principle behind the forbidden immortal technique, "Zhou Shui Suo" (meaning "the stillness of the cosmic water"), as a form of guidance.

The cultivation level and killing moves were given by the system, and Yang Pingsheng couldn't directly teach them to someone, but he could explain the principles to them. What Qing Xuelan heard was precisely these principles.

"But Pingsheng, what's the point of you doing this?" the system asked, puzzled.

This is different from the fourth incarnation. Qing Xuelan is not Su Rouxue, so in theory she shouldn't have aroused Yang Pingsheng's obsessive "kindness".

"Because the heaviest feeling in a person's heart is resentment." The reply came softly.

"Huh?" The system was confused.

"Just a casual remark," Yang Pingsheng said. "Let's hurry on our way back to the sect, then the Heavenly Dao Plan will begin in earnest."

"Also," he said, glancing at the system, "you should conserve your energy."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing this time."

You'd better be aware of this.

Yang Pingsheng stopped speaking and began to ponder the plan of Heaven.

He was just distracted by the plan laid out by Heaven.

【The Supreme Creator Who Is Unfeeling】By definition, the female villain in this life should be completely devoid of human feelings, and in fact, that is indeed the case. Li Chumo was initially savage, stubborn, and headstrong, determined to fight Yang Pingsheng to the end. In this respect, she does fit the definition very well.

The problem is, it happened too fast; she surrendered too quickly.

Her current dependence and attachment are indeed reasonable, and even the system has no doubts. However, Yang Pingsheng felt that something was wrong. If Li Chumo was the kind of person who needed to be saved, why not just write it into the Heavenly Dao Plan? Why did it have to be like that?

He recalled the very beginning, the start of the whole plan, which began with wolves replacing foxes.

The fake Li Chumo replaced the real Li Chumo and stayed by Yang Pingsheng's side.

The fox named Little Dog was neither the protagonist nor the villain, but he was part of the plan from the very beginning.

Yang Pingsheng once asked the system, "The Heavenly Dao's plan is to not involve unrelated people, right?"

"Yes, after experiencing so much, you've come to understand, haven't you? In this life, Heaven only allows those connected to the villains to enter the arena."

Wen Shihan and her sect.

Luo Benmo and her lackeys.

Xu Anlu / Hidden and Her Empire.

Su Murong and her benefactor.

Song Panning and her clan.

Shi Guijia and her family.

Every layout follows this pattern.

Only those connected to the female villain will be targeted by Heaven's will.

But what about the "unfeeling supreme creation"?

She was born of nature, transformed from a secret treasure, and because she was born in the form of a werewolf, she was taken in by a werewolf tribe.

If that's the case, the location should be her werewolf tribe, so why is it somehow connected to the Kongling Sect and Li Yaoyang's daughter?

Is it because this villain looks so much like Li Yaoyang's daughter that Heaven dragged them down with it?

No, that's a bit of a stretch.

Suddenly, Yang Pingsheng stopped, his speeding figure halting in mid-air.

The system lost its footing and was almost thrown off by him.

"what happened?"

The system flapped its wings to ask a question, only to find Yang Pingsheng looking at it with a strange gaze.

As they faced each other, the system could clearly see the worry hidden in those dark eyes.

"System, I have a question for you, and you must answer truthfully," Yang Pingsheng asked.

This was the first time Yang Pingsheng had looked so serious, putting a lot of pressure on the system. It wondered if this guy had remembered his past lives, and felt a little guilty, not daring to look Yang Pingsheng in the eye.

"You asked, what's wrong?"

"I want to know, what is a villain?"

Yang Pingsheng looked at the little cub in his arms and asked:

"Are you sure the person in my arms is the villain of this life?"

Chapter 410 A Twist of Fate

So that's the problem. The system wiped away its non-existent sweat. It had thought that Yang Pingsheng's memories of the altered endings of those worlds had been restored, so it came to interrogate him.

Although it's unclear what Yang Pingsheng was thinking, the system could easily answer this question.

"You want to ask how I and the Heavenly Dao define villains, right?"

Yang Pingsheng had asked this question before, but the system had only given him a brief answer. Now, it was clear that the system was going to give him a detailed answer.

The system coughed and began to speak: "Do you remember the story of Su Rouxue in her fourth life? I told you back then that it was her fate."

Yang Pingsheng nodded. The system had only altered the memories of the fourth life's ending, so Yang Pingsheng had a deep impression of Su Rouxue.

He remembered that the system had gotten angry about this.

“Everything in this world has a destiny. What we call destiny is its nature, its essence. In terms that your world can understand, it’s the source code that makes the mechs work,” the system said. “You’re an expert in this area, so you should know that many mechs are given different properties before they are even developed.”

"Some mechs can rescue, some focus on protection, some are cumbersome, and some are agile. The different natures of mechs lead to their different functions and actions. This is the fate of mechs."

"And everything in this world has its destiny. Birds have their destiny, fish have their destiny, beasts have their destiny, and humans, naturally, also have their destiny," the system said.

Fate is nature, essence, and an absolutely unchangeable law.

Some people are ashamed to surrender, while others are proud to live a life of ignominy. Some uphold justice, while others pursue their own selfish desires. These different choices, seemingly caused by personality issues, are essentially due to different destinies.

Different destinies lead to different fates.

"Su Rouxue may seem weak, but she is actually strong-willed. If what happened to her had happened to someone else, that person might have survived, but Su Rouxue is different. That was her fate, and her fate would lead her to make that choice," the system said.

Su Rouxue can certainly live.

She had countless options, such as selling herself, selling her daughter, quickly integrating into the environment of Liuyun City, wallowing in self-pity, or giving up on herself, but she just wasn't willing to do them. Even though Su Murong's father had run away, even though she was helpless in Liuyun City, even though she was just a weak woman, she still made that choice.

She died for Su Murong, not on that snowy day, but a long, long time ago, long before she decided to give birth to this child.

Otherwise, given Su Rouxue's normal lifespan, she wouldn't have died. Although she died by suicide, her illness was the result of years of accumulated stress.
