The improved female villains regained their memories.

"Say it, say it, people are happier when they learn to share."

"?"

Was the previous system this user-friendly?

She didn't quite remember, after all, she was busy putting out fires everywhere in the last round and was exhausted from dealing with them. The system was either searching for enemies or on its way to search for enemies, so Ling Tiandu didn't have much time to explore the system's abilities.

Perhaps it was the butterfly effect; Ling Tiandu didn't think much of it and answered cooperatively, "I've always been happy."

“My test is correct,” the system protested. “If I say you’re unhappy, then you’re definitely unhappy.”

"Then you're right."

So, do you want to share it with me?

"I have nothing to share with you."

"In that case, let me think..." The system's voice trailed off, then quickly returned: "What do you like to eat?"

"I am an immortal, so I don't need to eat."

"You don't have to eat, but if eating delicious food makes you happy, you can eat," the system said. "I can find a way to get it for you."

"You can cook?"

"Hmph, what can't I do?"

The system's arrogant tone made her subconsciously raise the corners of her mouth, and she said, "Okay, then get me a few sesame seed cakes."

"Who in their right mind would like to eat this stuff?"

"You don't know how to do this?"

"Hmph, you'll have plenty to eat when you get back."

Dark clouds began to gather, and a light rain fell, nourishing all things. The Guardian Heaven Sect was above the clouds, so naturally there was no rain. Upon returning to the Guardian Heaven Sect, Ling Tiandu first found the Demon King and gave him his final report.

"Well done." The Demon King looked at her with a satisfied smile. "Heavenly Jealousy, I have seen everything you have done this year. I was a little worried before, but now it seems that I completely underestimated you. Now I can rest assured to prepare for the year-end ceremony of merging with Heaven."

Ling Tiandu kept his head down, showing no sign of smugness.

The Demon King nodded with even greater satisfaction and said, "It's been a year, and you haven't gone back to visit. Put things aside for now and go back to see him."

"Yes, Master."

After finishing her report, she left the Demon King's place and returned to her own palace.

As soon as she entered the palace, she saw steaming hot sesame cakes on the table.

The system's voice sounded in his mind again: "How is it?"

Ling Tiandu was somewhat surprised: "You did this?"

"Hmm~"

"How did you manage to do it without utensils or people?"

"This is the power of my system!" the system said proudly. "Heavenly Jealousy, you still underestimate me. As long as you can use me flexibly, there is nothing you cannot do."

"Wow, that's amazing." She said in response, picking up a pancake from the table and taking a bite.

It smells very good, it's very crispy and crunchy.

But it doesn't taste good.

She put down the sesame seed cake.

"Is it delicious?" the system asked.

"Hmm, it's alright." Ling Tiandu nodded perfunctorily. "Help me pack my things, I'll go back tonight."

"Where are you going back?"

"Go back to my home."

"Take me with you!"

"Why would I bring you home?"

Spiritual energy swirled around her fingers, and with a flick of her fingers, she drew out the orb of light from her mind.

As soon as the ball of light appeared, it bounced around Ling Tiandu, clearly indignant: "Why didn't you take me with you?"

"What's the point of bringing you along if there are no missions?"

"That's going too far. Aren't we friends?"

"You're not human."

"This is too much! Heaven is jealous! You've hurt me so much!"

The system yelled, and Ling Tiandu waved his hand to block it, then kicked it, telling it to go and pack its things.

She stared blankly at the sesame seed cakes on the table, lost in thought for no apparent reason.

She didn't particularly like sesame seed cakes. The ones made by the system were considered good, but ordinary people's sesame seed cakes weren't that fancy. They were often cold and hard, but enough to fill their stomachs.

Fragrant, crispy, and crunchy—these three words don't seem to fit Yi Changcun's sesame seed cakes, but Ling Tiandu still thinks they taste delicious.

On that rainy day, a blind little boy handed her a sesame seed cake. She ate it mixed with rainwater and blood, her tears serving as its seasoning. She had eaten that kind of sesame seed cake, and from that moment on, nothing could ever surpass it.

Her thoughts drifted further and further away, and she thought of Yi Changcun and the boy's smile.

He touched the flatbread on the table, and it was unclear what he was doing.

'That woman...'

Ling Tiandu's eyes flashed with a fierce light again. Although she didn't know when the time loop would start, she had to take advantage of this time to deal with the matter of that woman named Xiaoyun.

From Yi Changcun's perspective, Xiaoyun's appearance was not surprising, but only she, who had experienced many reincarnations, knew how terrifying that woman's appearance was.

Some people hold a high position and treat her as a pawn.

'I absolutely will not allow it, I absolutely will not allow it...'

What is absolutely forbidden? Ling Tiandu didn't continue thinking.

She simply sensed that something was brewing within her soul, about to emerge.

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

As before, upon hearing that her daughter was coming home, Ling Wuhan prepared a banquet in advance to welcome Ling Tiandu back.

When evening finally arrived, Ling Tiandu, having finished her social engagements, couldn't wait to leave the city lord's mansion and rushed to Yi Changcun's place at top speed.

"To last forever."

However, the place was deserted, and the familiar figures had vanished.

Ling Tiandu frowned and immediately unleashed a wide-range perception-based immortal technique. He quickly discovered that not only Yi Changcun, but also Yi Changcun's parents were missing.

"what happened?"

If it was Yi Changcun who disappeared, she could still consider it an accident, but if even her parents disappeared, she had to think about it from another angle.

At least, Ling Wuhan must know about this.

Suppressing her doubts, she burned the talisman and contacted the system: "System."

The burning talisman emitted the system's voice: "Yes, what's wrong?"

"Help me investigate someone."

Does it have a name?

"Yes, it is easy to endure."

The system's voice fell silent.

Ling Tiandu immediately sensed something was wrong: "System?"

"Heaven is jealous, this matter..."

"You know?!" Ling Tiandu was taken aback, then realized, "Someone is plotting to make Yi Changcun leave. Is it my master?"

"cough......"

"system!"

"This..." the system's voice trailed off, "Due to access restrictions, I don't know either..."

"I'll give you the permission, then you tell me."

"You don't have enough permissions..."

That's the Demon King.

In the entire Guardian Heaven Sect, only the Demon King has more authority than her.

But the Demon King couldn't do it himself, so his father had to handle it.

Ling Tiandu crushed the talisman and transformed into a sword shadow to rush back.

Ling Wuhuan was waiting for her in the courtyard.

Seeing the sword shadow transform into Ling Tiandu and land in front of her, Ling Wuhan sighed with complicated emotions. He knew that the Demon King was right.

“Father.” Ling Tiandu came before him and bowed.

"Sit down. Your mother and sister are asleep. We can talk here without disturbing them." Ling Wuhan patted the chair next to her, gesturing for her to sit down.

Ling Tiandu didn't move, but stood there with her head down. After a moment of silence, she asked, "Father, was this arranged by my master?"

Ling Wuhan nodded: "Yes."

"I don't understand."

“Heaven is jealous.” Ling Wuhan said, “You and Yi Changcun are from two different worlds. You have your path and he has his path. Since your paths are different, don’t force yourselves to walk together.”

“I don’t understand,” Ling Tiandu repeated, his tone becoming much harsher.

“Heaven is jealous. You are a genius. From birth, you have carried the hopes of countless people,” Ling Wuhan said. “Yi Changcun is just an ordinary person. It’s not good for him if you stay with him.”

“Father, I have explained, but I do not understand.”

She looked up at Ling Wuhan and said, "I don't understand what this has to do with genius, nor do I understand what it has to do with the fact that our paths are different."

"Because the gap between you will only widen in the future, your master doesn't want you to have any weaknesses, and at the same time, he doesn't want ordinary people to get involved in matters concerning you."
