Fast Travel: After turning into an animal, the villain asked me to be his wife

"How could I be fake!" the little fox said angrily, looking somewhat worried. "What should we do? Which way should we go now?"

Xie Linyuan was still looking at her, seemingly finding her presence somewhat strange, and asked, "How...did we meet?"

Yu Zhen was still worried about how to get out of here with a fragile person suffering from amnesia when she suddenly heard Xie Linyuan ask this question.

His mind now seems less profound than it was when he later joined the Demon Sect, and he still harbors a faint curiosity about her.

Yu Zhen tilted her head back: "There are many stories to tell, but just remember that you are my person and you still owe me a lot."

Xie Linyuan nodded thoughtfully: "You're right."

Little Fox: "Don't worry about the details for now. I think the most important thing is for you to remember everything quickly so we can get out of this illusion!"

She didn't want to stay in this illusion forever; her father and the wicked fox were still outside!

Xie Linyuan: "If this is an illusion targeting me, as long as we can find a breakthrough that allows me to remember everything, we should be able to get out."

He didn't doubt the little fox's words at all, as if his instincts told him that this fluffy little fox was trustworthy.

But as he said this, a thoughtful look appeared on his face: "Perhaps you can tell me something that will help me remember?"

Yu Zhen was taken aback and quickly racked her brains for anything she could tell him.

She concealed the plot details she knew from the book, carefully picking out what she could say for him. After her throat was dry from speaking, she looked at him with her big, dark eyes and said, "Now you understand, right?!"

Xie Linyuan's eyes still held confusion: "So... I am now your... husband?"

The little fox was taken aback. She didn't think anything of it when she said it herself, but when Xie Linyuan said it, something seemed off.

His hairy face felt a little hot.

"Well, you could say that. So, after all I've said, do you remember anything?" The little fox looked at him innocently, and seeing his thoughtful expression, she became anxious. "You don't think I'm lying, do you?!"

Xie Linyuan was taken aback, then shook his head: "It's very simple to determine whether what you're saying is a lie."

Yu Zhen continued, following his lead: "Is it simple?"

“Hmm,” Xie Linyuan nodded, his eyes lowered slightly, and he reached behind him. “If I no longer have sword bones, then what you said is the truth.”

Xie Linyuan: "What just happened is true. I did have my sword bone removed by Baili Xun."

Xie Linyuan: "I have an irreconcilable hatred for them."

Xie Linyuan: "You're the only exception."

He touched his back as he spoke.

His blood-stained white clothes gradually turned black, and his eyes darkened when he touched the huge sword mark under his clothes.

His mind raced, and he immediately looked at the little fox.

"real……"

Yu Zhen had just heard one word clearly when she saw Xie Linyuan's eyes suddenly turn panicked.

Then, she felt herself falling again.

Everything went black, and she lost consciousness again. In her hazy state, she heard the system's panicked and surprised voice—

[Seriously? It suddenly went up this much?]

[Xie Linyuan is so generous! He gave him twenty points right away! He's been keeping his feelings for me quite hidden?]

[Hey! Something's wrong! Why has everything changed again? Host—]

The surroundings were boiling and changing, pressing Yu Zhen into a peaceful sleep.

When I woke up again, everything around me had changed.

Yu Zhen cautiously twitched her ears and found herself in a solemn and empty hall.

The surroundings were completely dark, with only a few candles burning faintly in the distance.

She sensed something was wrong and looked up to see a familiar person sitting at the head of the hall, holding a beating heart in his hand, with a corpse that had just died at his feet.

Yu Zhen was startled. The dead man's face was now facing her, and it was none other than Baili Xun, who had just been chasing and suppressing the two of them!

There was a "click" sound.

The heart was carelessly tossed onto the ground.

The person she knew glanced at the blood on his hands with disgust and said to the person kneeling on the ground, "Is this the last one?"

The person kneeling was almost entirely prostrate on the ground, not daring to look up.

“Your Excellency, he should be the last direct disciple of the Lingxiao Sword Sect.”

Xie Linyuan was dressed in black, but unlike the plain clothes she had seen before, his black clothes were extraordinary at first glance, with dark patterns flowing on the cuffs and hem, making them exceptionally intricate.

He was very different from the Xie Linyuan that Yu Zhen remembered. In her eyes, Xie Linyuan was someone who always dressed properly, but the Xie Linyuan in front of her had his collar open and his hair was not combed properly, hanging casually behind his head.

Even her eyes, besides their inherent darkness, now held a twisted emotion that she couldn't quite put her finger on but dared not look directly into.

It is hatred, it is resentment, it is the magma that is churning beneath the volcano.

"Just the last disciple I personally taught... I can't quell my hatred without slaughtering the entire Lingxiao Sword Sect."

His voice was soft, but it carried a heavy weight in the empty, desolate hall.

The person kneeling even trembled.

Xie Linyuan scoffed, "Useless thing."

Upon seeing this, Yu Zhen finally remembered—wasn't this… a crucial scene from the original novel where Xie Linyuan took revenge on the Lingxiao Sword Sect after his descent into darkness?!

How did she end up here?!

Has she donned those clothes again? Or is everything before my eyes just an illusion?

If it's all an illusion, then what about the real Xie Linyuan?
