The improved female villains regained their memories.

Xu Anlu has lost all fighting spirit.

In the original storyline, Xu Anlu, who has returned, has awakened her memories, and Xu Anyin, who is determined to seek revenge, is the mastermind. The two sisters, one benevolent and the other domineering, are unstoppable by the immortal sects, and the male and female protagonists are no match for them.

The two sisters merged into one, causing chaos and upheaval.

But now, that's impossible.

With Xu Anyin losing her sense of self and Xu Anlu devoid of fighting spirit, the transformation of the female villains is complete.

Those words can no longer be conveyed.

Stop thinking about the world.

Stop thinking about the answers.

And so, they continued to sink into depravity, forever.

Forever and ever.

Xu Anlu knelt on the ground, crying uncontrollably until all her tears had dried up.

The Grand Tutor has already left.

Because of my own hesitation, because of my own overthinking.

What world, what ideals, what answers?

It doesn't matter anymore.

Tears kept piling up, blurring the scene before my eyes.

The frozen sparrow's corpse lay on the ground, like a dead little bird.

The blood was almost frozen, and the body I reached out to touch no longer felt real.

Not the Grand Tutor...

This is just an empty shell; this is not the Grand Tutor at all.

Her tutor has passed away.

Xu Anlu's tutor has already passed away.

"Grand Tutor, don't go, please, don't go! Don't you want Xiao Lu anymore? Xiao Lu wants to show you her boxing skills, she wants to..."

I also want to go hiking together, go shopping together, go fishing together, and play in the water together.

Together... we did many things.

"Grand Tutor..."

It's no longer possible to convey that message.

Xiao Lu, there is no Grand Tutor anymore.

Her tears streamed down her face.

"Grand Tutor, look at me, look at me! I was the one who confessed my love in the end, and I was the one who lived with you. It wasn't Xiao Yin, it wasn't Xiao Yin!"

"The person who loves you the most has always been me!!"

Ten years later.

Xu Anlu stood in this very spot from years ago, tears still streaming down her face.

"It's not your fault, Xiao Yin. If anyone's to blame, it's myself."

She wiped away her tears and forced a smile.

"I am the one who has fallen."

"It's because I can't let go, it's because I can't forget, it's all because of me."

It feels like going back to a few years ago.

After Xu Anyin regained consciousness, the person he saw was Xu Anlu.

"sister?"

She was a little confused, but before she could be confused for long, Xu Anlu hugged her.

"I'm sorry, Xiaoyin..."

"Hey?"

That gentle yet resilient older sister, who had always helped her clean up the mess and taken care of her in her past life, cried like a child.

Xu Anyin pursed her lips; even now, she still couldn't bear to see her older sister cry.

She stepped forward, and the shadow's hand brushed the snow off her body before embracing her.

"It's alright, sister, we'll find the Grand Tutor."

"Xiao Yin, I..."

That year, she broke a vase, and the Grand Tutor told her it was alright.

That year, she pestered the Grand Tutor to teach her martial arts and painting, and the Grand Tutor agreed.

That year, she watched fireworks with the Grand Tutor and stubbornly said, "Grand Tutor, I like you."

That year...

So many things.

So, so much had happened between her and the Grand Tutor.

The final outcome was that she collapsed and wept before the Grand Tutor's corpse.

he's gone.

She ultimately couldn't keep him.

"I... I knew it..."

Her eyes were closed, and her cheeks felt icy cold; it was hard to tell if it was tears or falling snowflakes.

"My favorite..."

The little girl with black hair let go of his hand, leaving the man to leave alone.

"...Grand Tutor."

boom!

Fireworks burst in the sky.

The two stood on the stone bridge, squeezed in the middle of the crowd. The flames shone in their eyes, a fleeting moment that felt like eternity.

She watched the fireworks, but her gaze fell on Yang Pingsheng's face.

The traces of the Great Dao were revealed; she saw a melancholy soul, a sorrowful soul, a beautiful soul.

Subconsciously, she blurted out:

"Grand Tutor, you look so handsome!"

"Ah."

"I wish I could look at you like this forever," she added in her heart.

My mother said that people grow up, and some things can only be understood when you grow up.

As we grow up, the people and events of the past will be gone forever.

No way!

Xu Anlu tightened her grip on Yang Pingsheng's hand even further.

I want to stay with the Grand Tutor forever and ever, no matter what, and never be separated!

As she thought about it, a happy smile appeared on her face.

Although she didn't yet know what "like" meant, she still wanted to say it—

—Me? I like the Grand Tutor the most!

Chapter Ninety-Nine: And so, she drew her sword and pointed it towards the sky.

After the Spring Festival, the chill of winter dissipated a bit, and the signs of spring began to stir. A few flowers bloomed on a lonely tree branch, standing out conspicuously against the backdrop of snow.

There were many plum blossoms in the Yong'an City Palace, but the Empress did not like flowers. Many of the original plum trees were planted away, and there were not many flowers to see in the back garden.

The blizzard stopped, leaving only white silence. Five days passed after the Empress went for a walk outside that day.

The morning court session ended quickly, and all departments were complaining about being broke. Last year's deficit was quite large, and several second-rank officials discussed the matter together, focusing on making up for the deficit. As for the drought, it was suppressed and not mentioned.

The Empress's inaction was getting worse and worse. Before the court session even ended, she left alone. Her attendants followed her down the corridor, and behind them, the voices of officials chattered incessantly, either shirking responsibility or complaining of being wronged.

The corridor led to another main hall, with vermilion pillars and branches and flowers extending from both sides. Snowmelt dripped onto the corridor, making it somewhat slippery.

Xu Anlu stopped here, turned around and looked at the scenery next to her, where a few birds occasionally flew by and left their calls.

A close attendant followed beside him and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty?"

"Nothing, just thinking about something."

A tall tree stood in the corner of the wall, and the frost and snow fell on it without bending it down.

Xu Anlu stared blankly for a moment, then stepped over the railing and walked across.

She's been having dreams these past few days.

In her dream, she returned to that little courtyard. Little Ears and Little Pinch were there, and she was playing happily in the yard. The Grand Tutor was sitting in a rocking chair watching her.

Time did not wash away her longing; on the contrary, it made her longing even heavier.

She is now completely immersed in it, and everything she sees reminds her of the Grand Tutor.

Touching the tall tree in front of her, she could recall the scene when the Grand Tutor first agreed to teach her.

She fell from the tree and landed on the ground. The Grand Tutor returned with the bamboo slips and came over to ask her questions.

"what happened?"

That tenderness has vanished like a bubble.
