That's What Villains Are Like

"Yeah, it's all my fault."

"If I had hesitated a little and chosen to believe him when I was in Jingyang City, and listened to his words more, I would not have stabbed him with that sword."

"Perhaps he won't lose all hope, let alone fall into the world of mortals forever..."

"If I had understood earlier, faced my inner fear earlier, understood the truth earlier, everything would have been possible."

"But I was afraid, retreated, and fearful. I didn't dare to face the truth that I had already guessed."

"I am bright and dazzling in front of others, but in fact I am just a timid and coward..."

"I have never felt sorry for anyone in my life, but I feel sorry for him."

The woman laughed to herself.

Gently touching her heart, she felt the stinging pain coming from it, like countless sharp thorns pricking her. The pain was so painful that she seemed to be suffocating.

Many memories of past lives passed by like running water.

Finally, it was fixed on the boy in white in the courtyard, clutching his chest, slowly falling to the ground, and staring at the sky with his eyes open.

Those eyes were dead and empty, yet very calm, just letting their life and energy dissipate away, as if they were a body without a mind.

Amid the inner demon tribulation, she stretched out her hand, tremblingly trying to cover the bleeding wound, but the young man never looked at her again.

It wasn't until that moment when tears welled up in her eyes and blurred her vision that she realized that all the fates in the world had actually been determined in the past.

Even if she lifts the clouds to become an immortal, even if she finds the cicada of time, nothing can be changed.

"From now on, every sound and dust are silent, and the spring mountains are like black grass and smoke..."

The woman was in a daze, sighing in despair, and all the thoughts in her heart disappeared.

After a long time, she finally seemed to calm down.

She stood up and walked slowly outside the palace, looking into the distance.

This is a mist-shrouded island located in the mountains overseas.

Looking from the sky, the ocean is calm, without wind or waves, and is deep blue. It is surrounded by stars and scattered with many small islands of different sizes.

The island in the middle, with its steaming mist and green ancient trees, looks like a primitive ancient forest. It looks particularly majestic like stars looming over the moon.

Occasionally, ferocious birds and strange birds flew across the sky and disappeared into various areas of the island.

The Island of No Return, as its name suggests, is an island area located offshore of Kyushu, shrouded in fog all year round.

It is said that as long as the creatures and monks come here, they will never leave because they will get lost on the way and cannot find their way back.

After she stabbed her with the sword in Jingyang City, she was worried that her adoptive father and mother would come back upon noticing something unusual, so she didn't dare to stay long and left in a hurry.

But she was convinced that although the sword was slightly off position due to the trembling of her palm at the end, it did penetrate his heart back and forth.

The blood dyed with fairy charm was extremely dazzling, spraying all over the courtyard, even her clothes were dyed red.

She fled the Prime Minister's Mansion in a daze, and immediately fled into the distance. She thought that the Prime Minister's Mansion would be furious and send countless masters to hunt her down.

But the following days were all calm, no one talked about the incident, and no one came after him.

It seemed that no one knew about the accident that assassinated the Prime Minister's son.

She didn't know what the final outcome would be.

She had no idea whether Jiang Lan was alive or dead.

Since then, she left the land of Kyushu and went overseas.

Although he encountered some accidents and dangers on the way out to sea and was involved in endless fog, he finally set foot on the Island of No Return safely.

Although her fairy heart was poached, after her Nirvana rebirth, with a belief in revenge, her strength and talent were far beyond what she had been before. Even those old monsters who had practiced for many years and had profound Taoism were not her enemies.

Because of this, she lived in seclusion on the Island of No Return, and even occupied a separate island. She was honored as the Lord of the Island by the monks who strayed here from outside.

There are rumors in the world that beyond the endless fog overseas, there are three islands of no return. In the middle one there is a hidden powerful man who has reached the pinnacle of strength and art, like a true immortal on land...

This is how outsiders respect her.

Her strength is indeed what outsiders say. Just ten years later, she reached the Nine Realms of Feathering and is said to be unrivaled in the world.

When she was born again, left the Island of No Return, and walked around the world, it was already twenty years later.

In the land of Kyushu, the situation is treacherous and turbulent.

Zhongtian Prefecture is respected by the Great Xia Dynasty, but secretly the remnants of the Blood Immortal Sect are dormant and ready to move.

Nanhuang, Beihai, Dongyuan, and Xiling are not peaceful either.

The Taoist leader from the outer realm is coming, seeking to seize the dragon energy of Kyushu and open up the ancient road to connect to other worlds.

She had no intention of meddling in the affairs of the Nine Provinces. She still harbored hatred and just wanted to destroy the Prime Minister's Mansion and everything that had ever been related to him.

But I never thought that after setting foot in the Great Xia Dynasty, I would learn that he had already died...

Paranoid, she suddenly fell into a rage, forced her way into the mausoleum of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and dug up Jiang Lan's grave there. Unfortunately, not even the bones were found in it, only a few bones and clothes were left.

Angry, she destroyed it with one palm, not even leaving any bones behind, and turned everything into powder.

Then, under the angry shouts and angry looks of her adoptive father and mother, she laughed several times and walked away.

If he didn't die by his own sword, how could he be killed by someone else first?

It would be too cheap for him to die like this.

He clearly promised to marry him when he grew up, but why did he break his promise and regret it? Is it because he is a mortal and he has a fairy heart?

But if he really wanted his fairy heart, why wouldn't he give it to him?

But he didn't say anything. He also cheated and betrayed himself and betrayed his trust in him.

The woman sighed quietly, she indeed had such thoughts and ideas at the time.

That night in the Prime Minister's Mansion many years ago, he promised himself that after the practice, the two of them would sneak out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and go to a place known only to them to capture Liuying Yeqing.

So, having finished his training early, in order to get rid of that annoying little tail who always liked to follow the two of them, he slipped out of the Prime Minister's Mansion alone and waited for him at the agreed place.

The night was deep and everything was silent. She sat on the edge of the field, holding her head, looking boredly at the flying fireflies fluttering there. She thought about why he came so slowly. If he didn't come, she would enjoy it by herself. What's the meaning.

There was the sound of footsteps in the distance. She stood up happily and turned to look. What came whistling towards her was a flashing arrow...

When she woke up again, she was already in a simple and dilapidated green brick house.

An old lady who was deaf and collected herbs rescued her in the mountains.

According to the old woman, it rained heavily that night, the wind kept blowing, and there was thunder on the mountain. One lightning bolt after another illuminated the dark sky, as if God was angry.

She thought the gods were punishing her and was terrified, but she vaguely guessed that something big might happen in the mountains.

So in the face of heavy rain, I went deep into the mountains. Under a tree that was struck by lightning and burst into flames, I saw blood stains washed away by the heavy rain. It was strange to say that the rain was obviously heavy, but that tree The fire that was ignited never went out, lighting up the area.

The old woman dug under the tree for a long time, and finally found her buried deep inside. But at that time, she was covered in blood, and when she was picked up, she was as light as a feather.

What's even stranger is that there aren't any injuries visible on her body, it's more like the injuries have healed...

Only she knew clearly at that time that her heart was gone. It was incredible that she could still survive without her heart.

As for where her heart has gone, it is naturally self-evident.

From that moment on, hatred, anger, grievance, pain, coldness... all the emotions overwhelmed her. She vowed to take revenge. She would make Jiang Lan miserable and make him pay a heavy price a hundred times, a thousand times, or even ten thousand times. .

It was the hatred at that time that supported her through the last years of weakness and pain, until she finally achieved Nirvana and was reborn from the ashes.

Until Jiang Lan died, the anger and hatred in her heart could not be vented, and she fell into confusion.

She gradually realized that something was wrong, but at that time, she no longer had the courage to pursue the truth of the year. Although there was a vague suspicion in her heart, she did not dare to face it and chose to retreat...

She fell into an obsession that she couldn't get out of, and her stubbornness seemed to have led her into a dead end that she couldn't get out of at all.

And what finally overwhelmed her, causing all her persistence and stubbornness to collapse and fall into madness, was the little tail she looked down on at the beginning, who said with mocking words, "You are indeed not worthy of him."

By the time she came to her senses, little tail Li Mengning had resolutely gone to seek revenge on the enemy who killed Jiang Lan. After being defeated, she committed suicide without hesitation.

…

"I didn't know that Lin Fan was a man of great fortune in his previous life. He was given a lot of time to grow up, but killing him later would have cost him a lot of limbs."

"But it will be easy for me to kill him again in this life."

The woman's many thoughts were withdrawn, her heart throbbed a little, and she gently moved her white and slender palm.

A piece of gauze fell not far away and was put on her face, covering her fairy-like face, but her eyes became even more indifferent.

As she walked forward lightly, the bronze palace in front of her seemed to tremble slightly.

Then ripples spread, and a dark crack in the void appeared. She stepped into it and disappeared in an instant.

Now that the cicada of time has lost its function and cannot go back to the past, she does not have to force herself to change her past destiny.

She didn't know what she should do in this life, and how she should face him, but she understood that evasion and cowardice would only make the same mistakes in her previous life.

The most important thing for her right now is to kill Lin Fan.

…

Anyang City.

City Lord's Mansion.

This is a magnificent and stretching mansion, with buildings in a row, and the pavilions and palaces inside it are row upon row, with steaming clouds and brilliant clouds, and a myriad of atmospheres.

A white jade chariot descended steadily, and the young man standing in front of the mansion hurriedly stepped forward to open the curtain for it.

However, the woman driving the chariot waved her hand to signal him to step back, and said respectfully, "Master, you have returned to the Lord's Mansion of Anyang City."

Chu Chan, who was practicing quietly, came to his senses when he heard these words. Is it so fast?

She felt that time had only passed by a short time, and the journey was smooth without any twists and turns.

The relationship with the Prime Minister's Office is good. Even entering Anyang City, there is no need to encounter interrogation.

The guards in front of the city gate came to let her go in person, not daring to waste her time at all.

Chu Yun, who was following the chariot and leading a green cow, now vaguely understood and understood his sister's thoughts.

During this time, the news of the birth of the True Monarch Zixia in the Cave Mansion spread throughout the world. Anyang City was extremely lively, with people everywhere, and it could be said that it was crowded.

Outside every city gate, there is a long queue every day, waiting for interrogation.

As a result, when they arrived, the guarding soldiers outside the city gate immediately gave way as soon as they saw the flag of the Prime Minister's Office, and did not dare to ask any more questions.

After all, Chu Yun was a young man at heart, so when he looked at the envious and jealous eyes of those monks and creatures looking at him, he couldn't help but feel a little arrogant and proud.

Although the guards in front of the gate of the city lord's palace saw Chu Yun leading a green bull, they did not dare to look down upon him at all. They stepped forward to take the green bull from his hands and pull it to the stable.

Chu Yun hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse. Even Dahuang reassured him that he had nothing to worry about.

"Xiaoyun, let's go and follow me to see the young master."

Chu Chan said from the front.

She held up her skirt and stepped out of the chariot with the help of several maids. Her posture looked decent and elegant, not at all like the casual and natural look she had shown outside Zixia before.

Chu Yun responded, lowering his eyebrows and lowering his eyes, and did not look at the city lord's mansion carefully.

Although he had a bad mind before, he had been living in Anyang City since his childhood.

There has always been a faint fear and yearning for the City Lord's Mansion, because this is the center of power in Anyang City.

One of the city lords can decide the rise and fall of many families with just one order.

"Miss Chu Chan, Mr. Jiang has already ordered people to prepare a banquet." The housekeeper of the City Lord's Mansion came over personally and led the way.

Chu Chan smiled gracefully and said, "Thank you, the housekeeper, for leading the way."

Deep in the city lord's palace, in a quiet courtyard, the jade table was already filled with delicacies.

"Master..."

When Chu Chan came over, Jiang Lan was picking up the wine glass and sipping to himself.

Su Qinghan didn't want to meet Chu Chan, so he didn't come.

Jiang Lan naturally didn't care about this.

He did not inform Su Qinghan about True Lord Zixia’s token, and Su Qinghan himself was not very interested in the inheritance of True Lord Zixia. During this period, except for double cultivation with him, he spent the rest of the time practicing. It can be said that he was diligent in cultivation. embellished.

"Chan'er is back?"

Jiang Lan put down the wine glass, smiled slightly, and motioned for her to come over.

Chu Chan didn't shy away either. She followed Chu Yun even though she was following him. She tucked her skirt slightly, then sat in his arms, her jade arms like snow lotus roots wrapped around his neck, and her head rested on his chest.

From a distance, Chu Yun saw the young nobleman in white clothes and wide sleeves.

Sure enough, as he had guessed, there was an aura of pampering and pampering in his every move, and he was handsome and handsome. He was very popular with women at first sight.

Seeing his sister just sitting in his arms, he couldn't help but twitch his face. He quickly lowered his eyebrows and pretended not to notice, but he still felt a sour emotion in his heart.

The fists under his robes tightened and loosened several times before he could calm down.

"It's so annoying just after I came back." Jiang Lan smiled, patted Chu Chan's jade back gently, and motioned for her to sit down.

"I haven't seen the young master for many days. Chan'er misses him so much that she wishes she could grow a pair of wings and fly back to the young master."

"Master, please let Chan'er hold you for a little longer..."

Chu Chan's beautiful eyes were shining, her red lips were pressed against his neck, and she spoke sweetly.

Jiang Lan stopped caring about her and looked at Chu Yun. He was a little surprised, but he still asked with a smile on his face, "Is this your brother Chu Yun, Chan'er? Sure enough, he is a young hero and a talented person." .”

In the original plot, Chu Yun was persecuted by his fellow disciples at Zixia Temple, and his body was thrown into the cliff.

When Chu Chan found him later, he had turned into a pile of withered bones.

But now Chu Yun is alive and well. Not only is he not dead, his head seems to have become more flexible.

Suddenly, many things have indeed changed.

Jiang Lan had previously speculated that unexpected changes might occur after Chu Chan accidentally sent the jade pendant token to Chu Yun.

"Xiaoyun, what are you doing standing there? Hurry up and see the young master."

"This is Mr. Jiang I mentioned to you." Chu Chan looked at Chu Yun and said.

Chu Yun reacted and immediately stepped forward and said, "Chu Yun has met Young Master Jiang."

"Young master, this kid Xiaoyun has just regained his aura and has never seen much of the world. I hope you will bear with me if I am rude." Chu Chan said.

"It doesn't matter. Since he is Chan'er's younger brother, I will naturally treat him like my own brother." Jiang Lan smiled, but felt strange in his heart.

While he was sizing up Chu Yun, he was also exploring his destiny.

As he expected, this was a man of great luck, also commonly known as the son of luck, shrouded in purple luck.

By judging his fate, Jiang Lan was able to conclude that Chu Yun should be recognized by Zhenjun Zixia's mount and become Zhenjun Zixia's true successor.

In the original plot, Lin Fan was not recognized by the mount, thinking that Lin Fan obtained the jade pendant by trickery and was not a descendant of the Chu family.

"It's just that I remember you said, Chan'er, isn't there something wrong with Chu Yun's head? I also sent a message to my father and asked him to find a doctor from the Imperial Medical Office, but now it seems that Chu Yun is not abnormal. ..." Jiang Lan asked.

Since Chu Yun is a man of great luck and is Chu Chan's biological brother, as long as he can be used by him and provide him with good luck, it will be great.

It's just that Chu Yun, as a son of luck, may not be so easy to control.

Chu Chan looked touched and briefly recounted what happened to Chu Yun, but did not hide the fact that Chu Yun was persecuted by the brothers of Zixia Temple.

"It seems like it was a blessing in disguise. It's just that the master of Zixia Temple is going too far in allowing his disciples to harm their fellow disciples."

"Don't worry Chan'er, I will definitely seek justice for your brother."

Jiang Lan narrowed her eyes slightly after hearing this, and there seemed to be a hint of sullenness on her face.

Chu Chan said hurriedly, "Young master, there is no need to get angry over this trivial matter. Chan'er has already told Xiaoyun that when he has the strength to cultivate, he can take revenge and seek justice for himself. He should not rely too much on others."

"Chan'er is right. If you rely too much on external things, it will be detrimental to your own practice."

Jiang Lan felt slightly relieved after hearing the words and nodded slightly.

Chu Yun on the side was stunned. He did not expect that Jiang Lan would care so much about his sister and consider himself so much.

It seems that what my sister said before was not false.

The sourness in his heart became even stronger, and he felt a little unspeakably relieved.

Jiang Lan, the second generation ancestor, had a very bad reputation. On the way here, he was worried that the other party was playing tricks on his sister. When he got tired of it, he put it aside.

But judging from the current situation, it seems that there is still... there is some affection in it. No wonder my sister is so affectionate.
