The improved female villains regained their memories.

The courtyard was utterly tranquil. Occasionally, the chirping of insects added a touch of life to the serene night. A gentle night breeze rustled the treetops, whispering ancient tales.

The candlelight flickered as Yang Pingsheng sat beside Li Chumo's bed, smiling as he asked, "Do you really need me to tell you stories to be your Daoist partner?"

"Yes, yes." Li Chumo nodded like a chick pecking at rice. "Oh, Master, please tell me."

What are you going to say?

"My master told me the story of the newly published 'Tears of the Flower Lantern'!"

"it is good."

"Tears of the Lantern" tells the story of a scholar on his way to the imperial examination and a fox spirit. In the main world, it has another name.

Many things begin in the smallest details, but the long memory has made Yang Pingsheng overlook these differences.

"The scholar loudly proclaimed: 'This demon has ruined my reputation and distorted the truth. He is truly despicable. I beg you to kill him on the spot to appease the people.' The fox spirit never expected that her beloved would utter such resolute words. Overwhelmed with grief, she could not help but wail and cry."

She cried out, "You say I'm wicked, but have I ever harbored the slightest intention to harm you? When you fainted by the roadside, I was the one who saved you, fed you, clothed you, and made lanterns to sell to help you save money for your exams. What have I done to tarnish your reputation? What have I distorted? Heaven pities me, earth cherishes me, and all my demonic energy comes from heaven and earth. Is this my fault? Is it because I fell in love with you that you treat me like this?"

As Yang Pingsheng read aloud, when he looked at her again, she had already closed her eyes and fallen into a deep sleep.

He sighed, blew out the candle, and went outside.

In the quiet courtyard, the leopard, systematized, ate the fish soup prepared by Yang Pingsheng, while the latter sat on a stone bench, looking at today's intelligence.

He sighed deeply after seeing the confrontation between the school song Yun and Li Chumo.

In the end, we were dragged into it.

Two things flew in from afar: a communication talisman and a paper crane.

The communication talisman belonged to Li Yaoyang. The message stated that he had emerged from seclusion and was preparing to hold a sect conference the next day, asking Yang Pingsheng to bring Li Chumo along.

The origami cranes were the girl's reply.

Yang Pingsheng glanced at the first one, and then started looking at the second one.

Upon seeing the last sentence, he looked up at the sky and couldn't help but smile.

The system looked at him but said nothing.

The true plan of Heaven lies within it.

The seventh female villain is so unique that she even manages to deceive the human chess piece.

So it casually said, "In a good mood?"

"Perhaps."

"Once Li Yaoyang realizes that Li Chumo isn't his daughter tomorrow, we'll have to start planning."

"Yeah. I know."

"What a pathetic villain. He confesses his love to you today, and he'll be dumped tomorrow."

"Yes."

"How cruel... By the way, what are you looking at, Pingsheng?"

"Look at the moon."

Yang Pingsheng spoke calmly, revealing a faint smile.

"The moon is really beautiful tonight."

The system looked up and gazed at the moon with Yang Pingsheng.

"You and that girl seem to get along very well."

"Yes."

"But don't forget, you will eventually have to leave."

"Yes."

"That......."

"But the moon is indeed beautiful tonight, and that will never change."

Chapter 427 Bared Fangs

A sunny day, just like always.

In a corner of the courtyard, several lush green plants looked particularly vibrant under the morning light. The carefully tended flowers and grasses swayed gently in the breeze, emitting a faint fragrance that drifted with the wind, filling the entire courtyard with a fresh, natural scent.

Li Chumo was still fast asleep in bed when Yang Pingsheng got up early and stood outside the courtyard.

"System," he called softly.

"What?"

A ball of light appeared, and the voice carried a drowsy quality unique to humans, drawing Yang Pingsheng's attention.

Do I have to sleep even if I don't transform?

The system seems to be becoming more and more like a human.

Has Xiao Qitian made a move?

"Wait a minute, let me check the surveillance footage... Hmm, he's planning to bring the Demonic Cult's mole into the Void Spirit Sect."

The system swayed from side to side, yawned, and seemed to become more alert while speaking.

It transformed into a golden oriole and flew to Yang Pingsheng's shoulder.

"If things go smoothly, we might be able to complete the plan this year!" it said, fully regaining its senses and looking radiant.

Although the system has had a break for ten years, it doesn't want to stay here all the time.

There were only three left, and it was more anxious than anyone else.

"So eager?" Yang Pingsheng asked, tapping its little head with his finger.

"Who wouldn't want to live a free and unrestrained life? There are only two days left to complete this task. When that time comes, I can..."

It can then obtain the freedom it desires.

“I thought you would be recalled,” Yang Pingsheng said.

Despite spending so much time together, he had never asked who created the system or who it obeyed. The system had only said that it served the Heavenly Dao, but it had never explained what the Heavenly Dao actually was.

What will happen to the system after the task is completed? Will it go and live a free and unrestrained life as it wishes?

Looking at its expectant expression, Yang Pingsheng couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Summon, summon back? Hahaha... Just leave me alone. In short, hurry up and finish these tasks. Once you've done them, what can't you get?" The system laughed and changed the subject.

"...Alright, have you investigated Li Yaoyang's side yet?"

"We investigated, and as expected, this guy failed and was seriously injured."

The system thought for a moment and added, "Right now, Li Yaoyang probably can't even beat an ordinary Celestial Immortal, but you can defeat him."

"Since that's the case, let's do as Heaven has arranged." Yang Pingsheng said calmly, glancing back at the sleeping Li Chumo, before flying towards Li Yaoyang's cave on his sword.

He needed to talk to Li Yaoyang before he started the conference.

A gentle breeze was blowing across the clear, cloudless sky.

Sunlight bathed the entire Kongling Sect. On the only road leading to the mountain gate, several carriages swayed and finally stopped in front of the stone steps.

The carriage was meticulously crafted from the finest wood, its surface coated with a glossy lacquer that reflected the golden light of the sun. The carriage was decorated with exquisite carvings, every detail revealing the craftsman's superb skills. Above the carriage door was a huge spirit stone, which was used to operate a certain first-grade magic artifact to ensure that the interior of the carriage remained cool.

Azure sky, cool breeze, long shadows, the car door stopped, and Xiao Qitian stepped out.

He wore a long white robe, the hem of which fluttered gently in the wind, as if untouched by dust. His face was exceptionally handsome, and his brows exuded an otherworldly aura. His black hair was casually tied up with a jade hairpin, adding to his elegant demeanor. His eyes were as deep as the sea, as if they could see through all the turmoil of the world.

After stepping down from the carriage, Xiao Qitian gently patted his long robe, then looked up at the distant mountain peaks. His gaze was deep and far-reaching, as if it could penetrate layers of mist and reach the sky. The surrounding air seemed to become fresher because of his arrival, and the flowers, plants and trees seemed to be silently paying their respects to him.

He thought of many things: his own background, his life in the Void Spirit Sect... In the end, everything was swallowed up by the black flames, without a sound.

At the end of the road, there stood that adorable girl, as cute as a rabbit.

"Senior Brother, you're back!"

The school song Yun Huanxi rushed over, and he, as always, hugged her with a smile, but there was no trace of a smile in the depths of his eyes.

Is it hatred?

Hate this false righteousness, hate your damned identity, or what?

He looked down and saw the love overflowing in the girl's eyes, and then he understood.

He hates naivety.

"Yes, I'm back."

Xiao Qitian said with a smile, "I will take a long break after I come back this time."

"That's great! We can go out and play now!" School Song Cloud said happily.

Ten years, ten years of being together, the two are no different from ordinary Daoist couples. For ordinary people, ten years can make familiar people become strangers, but for immortals, ten years is really nothing.

Ten years will only make this girl cherish the person in front of her even more.

Schoolgirl Yun looked exceptionally beautiful today. She wore a pink fairy dress, the hem of which swayed gently like the most dazzling clouds in the sky. Her hair was jet black and shiny, braided into two playful little braids that hung down on both sides of her face, adding to her childlike innocence. Her big eyes were like two sparkling black gems, radiating clarity and purity.

Her cheeks were rosy, as tempting as ripe apples, her lips were slightly upturned, revealing a row of clean, even teeth, her smile was as bright as a flower, her figure was petite and exquisite, with beautiful curves, as if it were a masterpiece carefully sculpted by God.

To have such a companion in life, perhaps one could ask for nothing more.

......Yeah?

Xiao Qitian looked at the school song cloud's face and reached out to stroke it.

"Senior Brother, let me tell you, that bastard Li Chumo is getting more and more outrageous, she..."

Xiao Geyun poured out her troubles to Xiao Qitian. Hearing the name Li Chumo, Xiao Qitian remained unmoved until she finished speaking, then he patted her head and said:

"She bullied you, so your senior brother will stand up for you."

"Forget it," Xiao Geyun muttered, her face flushed. "Master dotes on her so much, I don't want you to be punished by Master because of this."

"It's alright," Xiao Qitian said. "It's nothing for you."

School Song Cloud's face turned even redder.
