【According to reliable sources, the witch saved by the Demon Lord has been quiet recently. People from the Heavenly Dao Palace say she might have already died.】

“Fellow daoist, you are a senior disciple of the Heavenly Dao Palace. Wasn’t it the witch’s subordinates who kept causing trouble recently, making it difficult for the major sects to handle? But now she suddenly went silent. After the Heavenly Dao Palace investigated, they found that she seemed to be no longer inside the palace.”

“So, the elders of the Heavenly Dao Palace thought, could this be a strategy to lure the tiger out of the mountain? Could it be that the witch went to the Sealed Demon Cave to save the Demon Lord? When they rushed there, they found traces of someone breaking into the cave, but the Heavenly Dao Palace didn’t sense the presence of their souls or aura.”

“A living person cannot possibly escape from the Sealed Demon Cave, so it is highly likely that the witch has died inside.”

Immediately, someone asked, “What if the witch managed to rescue the Demon Lord?”

“Impossible. Even the Heavenly Dao Palace’s sect master cannot survive coming out of the Sealed Demon Cave. If she had such tremendous abilities, she would have attacked long ago. Besides, with such powerful fluctuations of energy, the people from the Heavenly Dao Palace couldn’t have felt nothing.”

Originally just speculation, but after word of mouth spread, almost everyone believed that Shen Wanqing’s attempt to save Xie Wuyan ended with her tragically dying inside the Sealed Demon Cave.

This incident quickly became widely known and added a new plot to the storyteller’s script.

“It might hurt a bit when applying the medicine. You’ll have to endure it.”

“Okay.”

Feng Yaoqing’s movements were gentle. She lightly blew on the wound on Shen Wanqing’s arm and placed the ointment down. “There, after applying this medicine, the wound will heal completely overnight.”

Shen Wanqing thanked her and lowered her arm.

Although she was almost certain that Ji Feichen and Feng Yaoqing had probably figured something out, since it hadn’t been revealed openly, she had to continue pretending.

“Don’t worry, Feichen will take care of your friend,” Feng Yaoqing spoke first, patting her hand as if comforting her. “But will he remain this way forever?”

I don’t know why.

Clearly, I’ve changed my appearance.

But her tone and expression are as if she’s seeing her long-lost sister, gentle and comforting.

So close that it makes you not want to speak those blatantly obvious lies.

Shen Wanqing: “I won’t let him stay like this forever.”

“I understand… So, do you want to join us?” Feng Yaoqing lowered her eyes, her tone gentle and calm, “To find a way to restore him, and then deal with those demons along the way, while also controlling him from losing control. Doing all these things alone is too difficult.”

This sentence slightly surprised Shen Wanqing.

She was almost certain that Feng Yaoqing had indeed recognized her.

Although Shen Wanqing guessed that the two main leads wouldn’t be fooled by a simple disguise, she was still surprised that they discovered it so quickly.

What’s even more surprising is that there is no blame or interrogation.

They seem to know why Shen Wanqing is hiding something and, therefore, accommodate her without exposing it.

They even found all the reasons for her without her having to say a word.

“I…”

“You don’t look very old, Miss,” Feng Yaoqing suddenly brought up a new topic.

Shen Wanqing was taken aback and looked at her.

“It seems like you’re barely twenty.”

“Mhm.”

“Yeah,” Feng Yaoqing chuckled, her gentle eyes fixed on her, a mild smile on her face but a touch of bitterness in her gaze. “You’re still a little girl, why do you have to bear everything alone?”

Just like a gentle older sister, looking at her runaway younger sister with a mix of admonishment and concern.

Shen Wanqing could feel Feng Yaoqing’s care.

Such care made her nose tingle with sourness.

She turned her head, sniffled, and held back the slight itch in her eyes.

“Okay, let’s go together.”

“Good.”

They left Feng Yaoqing’s room, turned a corner, and Shen Wanqing caught sight of a tall figure standing at the end of the corridor.

It was Ji Feichen.

He leaned against the railing, holding a sword, locking eyes with Shen Wanqing. His brows slightly furrowed, thin lips pressed tight, but he only looked at her without saying a word.

Under the moonlight, the scar on his neck stood out even more.

They stared at each other for a long time.

But in the end, Shen Wanqing still didn’t speak. She nodded slightly to Ji Feichen, then returned to her room.

She looked at Xie Wuyan, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, pondered for a moment, and took out the Cultivating Spirit Book.

Since leaving them, Shen Wanqing had hardly received any news about the two of them.

Because the system’s curse constantly forced her back to the main storyline, she could only resist accepting any information about the protagonists and rebel against it.

So, this was her first attempt to investigate the story of what happened to Ji Feichen and the others after she left.

There were many people talking about them.

Because the appearance of the Demon Lord in the mortal world was a sensational event.

No matter how much the writers liked to use Shen Wanqing and Xie Wuyan for their creations, they were ultimately labeled as antagonists, opposing the righteous path.

The Heavenly Dao Palace asked for a stance from the Xuantian Pavilion and the Ji family.

Although both families held considerable status, in times of right and wrong, they naturally had to make the correct judgment.

The Ji family expelled Shen Wanqing in the name of practicing the demonic path, being contaminated by the Demon Lord’s influence.

Ji Feichen did not agree.

“Demonic path? Wanqing has been raised by me since childhood. Throughout this journey to save the people and the world, she has repeatedly endangered herself as bait and constantly depleted her own soul using the blood-burning technique. Just because she is unwilling to obey the Heavenly Dao Palace’s orders and seek a path to death, how does that make her evil?”

But for the righteous path, these statements were only considered excuses.

How many people in the world knew Shen Wanqing? And how many of them cared about her?

People don’t care about the life or death of those they don’t know.

If one does not personally experience the sacrifice, it cannot truly be called sacrifice.

There is only one thing that the world knows.

This thing is the explanation given by the Heavenly Dao Palace, and it is the explanation that all factions have accepted by default.

They call it “morality.”

Only something that can allow most people to survive can be called “morality.”

“Ji’s adopted daughter, Shen Wanqing, sacrificed herself for the sake of her own life and disregarded the lives of others due to greed and fear of death. Under the influence of the Demon Lord, the two of them had a private relationship and betrayed the righteous path. It is unacceptable by the heavens and against morality.”

There are many ways to say it.

Upon careful examination, it seems that the explanation given by the Heavenly Dao Palace and Ji Feichen’s explanation are indeed about the same thing. But after the nature of right and wrong has been determined in advance, this becomes evidence of guilt.

At that moment, Ji Feichen and Feng Yaoqing also suddenly understood.

Hundreds of years ago, Xie Wuyan also “betrayed the righteous path” in the same way.

Therefore, the Ji family punished Ji Feichen by subjecting him to the ‘bone-cutting whip’ punishment, to demonstrate their stance to the world.

After Feng Yaoqing’s father came out of seclusion, he confined her in the Xuantian Peak, claiming that she was influenced by the demonic path and needed to reflect.

Later, Feng Yaoqing left the Xuantian Pavilion.

Ji Feichen burned his own name from the Ji family genealogy.

These two events caused a big commotion, but after all, the two had been fighting demons and vanquishing spirits for many years, and they had a good image in the hearts of the people. Moreover, although they had left, they were still the most outstanding bloodline in the family. In addition, they continued to search for the Solitary Light Sword after their departure, helping many people along the way.

So although there have been many discussions in the martial world, they haven’t gone as far as to label them with the same stigma as Shen Wanqing.

Upon seeing this, Shen Wanqing understood something: “So, is this the reason why the curse on me hasn’t acted up for a long time?”

【Yes.】

This was the first time the system spoke in these past few days.

【The curse is a compulsory punishment that cannot be erased or eliminated. It occurs every time the host deviates from the main storyline or fails to complete a mission. But recently, the protagonist’s actions and behavior have deviated greatly from the original book.】

Again and again, creating opportunities for the main male and female leads to foster affection, or resolving obstacles for them, but in reality, it cannot change the tragedy between the two of them.

Ji Feichen and Feng Yaoqing were both standardized characters and personalities created for the plot. No matter how many chances were given, they would ultimately choose the same option.

Shen Wanqing changed them.

From the moment Feng Yaoqing fed Ji Feichen the pill, they would not repeat the same mistakes.

【But, host, it’s necessary to remind you that the ultimate completion of the mission requires a necessary condition: awakening the Solitary Light Sword. The deadline we agreed upon is approaching, and if you cannot resurrect Xie Wuyan by then, you will have no other choice.】

Shen Wanqing turned to look at Xie Wuyan next to her and stood up. “I understand.”

In the original book, it was said that on the day of the battle between Xia Qing and Ji Feichen, the entire Chitong Pass was covered in a bloody haze. Countless vines emerged from the ground, tightly binding the common people inside the pass.

In order to quickly advance her cultivation, she treated these people as fertilizer, and the vines penetrated their flesh, crazily sucking their essence, turning their once lively bodies into lifeless skeletons in an instant.

Xia Qing was surrounded by a sea of blood-colored flowers, and she laughed almost madly.

That great battle lasted for three days and three nights.

Shen Wanqing calculated the time.

Three days is too long, it won’t work.

So that night, she went to Xia Qing’s residence.

Dimly lit, in a hazy atmosphere, she could vaguely see two figures.

A graceful figure walked towards the other person with charming steps, bending down, with exquisite curves. Even just seeing the silhouette, one could sense the allure filling the room.

Shen Wanqing felt a bit awkward.

Isn’t it a bit unfriendly to intrude and kill people while others are shooting an action movie?

But it’s even more unfriendly to stand here and watch.

The wind rustled the curtains.

Xia Qing’s profile was particularly clear, but the other person…

Ji Feichen???

Wait.

It’s not Ji Feichen.

Shen Wanqing carefully distinguished it, although their appearances were extremely similar, there were still subtle differences between their eyebrows and eyes.

And the most crucial thing is….

This Ji Feichen No. 2 is a bald person.

Look at his appearance, seems like a monk?

Soon, Shen Wanqing sensed the clues.

There is no brilliance in the monk’s expression, and she can also smell a strong odor of decay and corpse in the air. Even though the room is beautiful, it still makes people nauseous.

That smell is emanating from the monk.

He is a dead person.

And he looks like he has been dead for many years.

But Xia Qing, on the contrary, didn’t seem to notice. Instead, she bent down and rubbed against the already deceased monk. Her laughter was particularly clear, and each syllable had a slight rise.

“Master,” Xia Qing raised her hand and caressed the monk’s cheek, “I met someone who looks very similar to you.”

As she spoke, her index finger traced down his chest. Suddenly, her eyebrows chilled, and her originally gentle voice shifted to a more intense and frantic tone.

“Why does he一”

“Take on that hypocritical demeanor with the same face as yours, what qualifications does he have?”

“I will never allow it.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll make him come to accompany you immediately, okay? As long as I consume his soul, you can come back to life. You will definitely have a chance to come back to life.”

The monk still had no expression on his face, just blinked his eyes numbly.

Shen Wanqing was well aware of this situation.

After a person dies, due to Xia Qing’s excessive obsession, she forcefully refused to let the monk reincarnate. However, his soul had already turned into a dead soul, and although his body did not appear to decay, it was merely an empty shell.

Alright.

Shen Wanqing figured it out.

This is a yandere supporting character.

She estimated the time.

If she returned any later, Xie Wuyan would wake up, and if he saw that she was not there, he might go and bully the waiter again, which would be troublesome.

But now, with one person and one corpse in the room, things were getting heated, and Shen Wanqing didn’t know how to speak.

So she politely knocked on the door and said, “Excuse me, sorry to disturb you. May I come in?”

But in reality, she didn’t give Xia Qing a chance to respond at all. After knocking on the door, she just pushed it open and touched the back of her head, awkwardly saying, “Well, you see, I’m here to kill you.”

Xia Qing: “…”
