What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

Gu Yuqiu thought for a while, but didn't say anything.

Shen Muchan withdrew her gaze from the wind and snow, looked into her eyes, and said seriously, "But I still think there's something wrong with your head."

"Ok?"

Gu Yuqiu was genuinely surprised; this was the first time someone had criticized her so harshly in front of her.

"If you weren't out of your mind, why would you choose Lin Mushi?"

Shen Muchan said, "Most importantly, in my opinion, no one should sit in your seat. That place should be abandoned forever."

This is the truth; it is her most genuine thought.

When a person dies, they should vanish into thin air.

Why do so many people in this world harbor malice towards Gu Yuqiu, even those high-ranking fifth-tier peak cultivators are no exception?

The principle remains the same: no one wants to become a tool in someone else's hands after their death.

Lin Mushi could not be the second Gu Yuqiu. She has too many causes and effects in this world, and it is inevitable that she will be taken advantage of by the things she cares about.

I was surprised.

Gu Yuqiu said, "You actually care about something like this?"

Despite her apparent surprise, her expression remained unchanged, her calm demeanor only adding to the mockery.

Shen Muchan looked at the figure on the balcony and said slowly, "I just want to tell you that you are an extremely irresponsible, reckless, and shameless person."

Gu Yuqiu smiled and said, "These words mean nothing to me."

"If... I mean, if."

She said, "If you're trying to boost your confidence and tell yourself you're doing something good, then I'd think you're the one who's out of your mind."

Everyone knows what kind of person Shen Hong is; he has never been law-abiding.

Now, suddenly claiming to act on behalf of Heaven is utter nonsense, no matter how you look at it.

Of course not.

Shen Muchan said indifferently, "Because my brain isn't broken, and it's not to convince myself, but to tell others."

The only other person being referred to in those words could be Su Yan.

Gu Yuqiu sighed and said, "This kind of thing is really boring. There's no point in talking about it; it's just a downer."

"Then let's talk about something else."

Shen Muchan said, "It's about what happens after the battle."

Gu Yuqiu glanced at her with some surprise, hummed in response, and looked puzzled.

—Didn't I promise you that we would fight to the death?

Shen Muchan gave an unexpected answer.

"Because I have absolutely no confidence in beating you."

Hearing this, Gu Yuqiu was even more surprised and said, "Then why do you still insist? Isn't living a good life a happy thing?"

Shen Muchan said calmly, "I need to give myself an explanation."

Gu Yuqiu understood what she meant.

How you treat others, what will become of Lin Mushi in the future, the direction of this world, and whether humanity will be destroyed again are all unimportant to me.

Shen Muchan looked into her eyes and said slowly, "Defeating you is the most important thing to me."

Gu Yuqiu sighed, "So you don't have the confidence to get over the shadows I left in your heart after I left?"

Shen Muchan hummed in agreement.

For her, this was an unsolvable problem, with no way to get around it; no matter how difficult it was, she could only face it.

Everything she has done these days has been in an effort to overcome this.

Whether it was trying every means to meet Lin Mushi, persuading Songtang last night to remain neutral, or even speaking at length about this world today so that Su Yan, standing in the wind and snow, could hear it, it was all to erase that shadow in her heart.

It's not for the sake of faith.

Because she never had confidence.

"Feel sorry."

Gu Yuqiu said with emotion, "I had completely forgotten about this."

Shen Muchan was stunned.

She had thought about many things, but she never expected to hear such a sentence, let alone that the other party would use it to threaten her, and then she forgot about it.

It was as if she were just a rag.

If it's no longer needed or is dirty, just throw it away.

Suddenly, she remembered that the first thing she did after arriving here was to clear the dishes and wash the table, just like a servant.

"Do not……"

She laughed, stood up, bowed deeply to Gu Yuqiu, and said, "...I was overthinking it. I'm sorry."

Gu Yuqiu remained silent.

Because she thought about it very carefully and realized that she was indeed like that, not really taking Shen Muchan seriously, but treating her as a maid, or even a tool.

People feel bad when tools are damaged, but they're unlikely to consider how the tools actually think...

Even though she was once a god, she was still no exception.

A long silence.

Gu Yuqiu said, "Thank you."

Then, she got up from her chair and looked at Shen Muchan.

“If you hadn’t reminded me, I really wouldn’t have thought of these things, because I never cared.”

She concluded by saying, "Try to kill me, or be killed by me, and end this painful life living in my shadow."

Shen Muchan said earnestly, "I will."

P.S.: Sigh, I originally wanted to happily create a harem, but while writing, I realized that the conflicts were too deep, and no matter how I handled it, it didn't quite make sense. I'm having a headache and worrying about what to do...

Besides, Miss Gu didn't suffer at all. Others were just enjoying themselves. And didn't she win back in yesterday's chapter?

Chapter 149: Chapter 147 The Return of the Dead

As night deepened, the lights gradually brightened.

The swirling snow blanketed the entire Xin Chu, creating a beautiful scene against the backdrop of lights. Pedestrians thronged the streets, as if everything from last night had been just a dream.

Amidst the festive atmosphere, a scenic seaside location with stunning views was unusually quiet, with only the sound of wind, snow, and waves.

Hundreds of Special Affairs agents put aside their work and rushed to the scene to establish a temporary blockade, using their supernatural powers to guide ordinary people away and reduce the inevitable impact.

Lu Xiu stood on the outer edge of the blockade, Su Yan was there, as was the old director. Almost all the people of a certain status in the New Chu Special Affairs Bureau had come to this place.

—Because of the battle between Crimson and that person, this place was chosen.

The area was completely silent; there was no sound at all, except for the increasingly clear sound of the wind and snow.

Looking at the two figures standing opposite each other on the beach in the distance, Songtang's eyes were a little complicated. She wondered how things had turned out this way.

It had always thought that Shen Muchan was just being stubborn, and that she had already given up on the agreement in the past few days. Even if it was difficult to save face, she would just put on a show of fighting to give herself an explanation.

What's up with this?

It raised its head, stroked Su Yan's chin with its whiskers, meowed softly, and asked the question.

"I am not Crimson."

Su Yan said calmly, "But if I were in the same situation, I would make the same choice. Besides, Crimson has no feelings for her, only hatred."

White Cat thought to herself that she had actually been doing quite well lately, enjoying many moments of happiness, and that it wasn't all hatred.

Su Yan said, "There is a very important question here, which is whether these beautiful things come from Gu Yuqiu's momentary pity, or from an emotional outburst."

The white cat vaguely understood.

"The two sides are not equal in status, there is an absolute power imbalance, and one side has a history of bullying the weak. It is normal for the other side to feel distrustful."

After a moment of silence, Su Yan said seriously, "Because people cannot believe in heaven or fate, they must believe in themselves. This is the only right path in my eyes."

She thought for a moment, then added one last sentence.

"The only person a person can truly trust is themselves."

The white cat looked at her with complicated emotions, then hesitated and meowed a few times: "Didn't you ever consider that her kindness towards you also stemmed from pity?"

"First of all, you are wrong about one thing."

Su Yan said calmly, "She's not just being nice to me, she's changing for my sake. Since she's taken the first step, I have no reason to stay put."

White Cat thought to herself, "So the most important thing is that you two are of similar status. Otherwise, why would she change herself for you?"

Su Yan remained silent for a long time before saying, "Maybe."

The conversation ended there, and everything she said pointed to Gu Yuqiu.

However, both Su Yan and Song Tang kept their voices very low, so no one else could hear their conversation.

The white cat stopped looking up and its gaze gradually focused on the two people in the distance.

Everyone was watching them.

……

……

The opinions of outsiders no longer affect Shen Muchan, and Gu Yuqiu cares even less about them.

They just don't like being stared at, like they're acting.

Just when people thought the silence would continue until the sound of the waves subsided, the battle began.

A red light shone from the dark, snowy night.
