Quick transmigration, she doesn't love anyone!

Seeing Lin Nian leave, V09 carefully comforted her, "Xiao Xiao, don't be sad, it's not worth it."

And then there's him; he would never lie to her, and he'll always be of one mind with her.

Yao Xiaoxiao crushed the magical artifact given to her by the male protagonist of this world while responding:

"Don't worry, I'm fine. Even if I was scammed, I've still managed to connect with you because of it, so it's not a complete loss."

Seeing her feigned calmness, V09 felt a mix of emotions. He used to be jealous of Lin Nian and hoped that Xiao Xiao would value him the most, but now that things had come to this, he felt sorry for her.

Lin Nian truly deserves to die! He deserves to die far more than those NPCs in novels, since he's the only one who genuinely hurt Xiao Xiao.

How dare he say he likes her while simultaneously encouraging her to pursue other people? Heaven help her, Xiaoxiao still thinks those fragments resemble Lin Nian, and she's brainwashed into thinking they're Lin Nian before approaching them.

I used to think it was absurd and felt uncomfortable, and I was always jealous. But now, when I think about it, all I feel is heartache.

V09 followed his memories and tried his best to extract energy from this cultivation world. He would take it slowly and break free from the shackles of the evil god Jun Yu. Then he would be able to enter the world and no longer be trapped in this small space, watching her helpless and isolated.

Isolated and helpless, Yao Xiaoxiao summoned the male protagonist of the world, Qingyang Immortal Venerable. The world has no shortage of tools.

Upon hearing the news that a fight had broken out outside, Yao Xiaoxiao remained calm, while V09 provided live updates on the battle.

Originally, Immortal Venerable Qingyang was in seclusion when she noticed that the summoning artifact she had given to her disciple had broken. Disregarding the critical moment, she forced herself to leave seclusion, only to find that she was no longer on the mountain.

Following the magical artifact, they encountered Lin Nian, a person they had never heard of before, yet Qingyang could not discern his cultivation level.

They've negotiated the terms and fought the battle; he was indeed no match for Lin Nian.

Seeing Qingyang return defeated, V09 lost his temper. How could his male lead be so useless!

Yao Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, had a good attitude. V09 felt that she was a little disheartened by being detained, feeling sad but not daring to say much.

For several days in a row, Lin Nian did not come to see Yao Xiaoxiao, but instead received an uninvited guest, Shen Yunshan.

Yao Xiaoxiao looked up at the person who had come in, paused for a moment, and then lowered her head without saying a word.

Seeing her lower her head, Shen Yunshan said in a cool tone, "He said you want to see me."

He wasn't the only one who wanted to see them.

These past few days, Shen Yunshan has come to a complete understanding of the whole story; they were nothing more than pawns.

She went to so much trouble just for someone else's lie. She's such a good liar, how could she not have imagined that she would be deceived to this extent?

Watching her marry someone else, and so blatantly hurting him, denying everything from the past, he thought that was the most painful moment, but he never expected such a big surprise.

Some of the others knew they were stand-ins, while others had no idea that Lin Nian existed. He was actually grateful to her for telling him the hurtful truth.

Feeling stuck and helpless, they were all trapped beasts, none of them could escape, including her.

Yao Xiaoxiao stirred slightly upon hearing his words, and looked up with a hint of barely perceptible grievance in her eyes.

She glanced at him, then lowered her head and chuckled softly, "Yes, you're the one I've wronged the most. I don't expect you to forgive me, but seeing me in this state should make you feel a little better."

She knew how to make fun of herself, and Shen Yunshan got angry when he heard it. What was it that he couldn't stand to see her doing well? Was that how she thought of him?

Despite his resentment, if he could turn things around, he would have plenty of opportunities to seek justice from her in the future, but that was clearly impossible now.

But he knew there was another way.

Noticing Shen Yunshan approaching and gently stroking her hair, Yao Xiaoxiao looked up and shifted slightly, awkwardly avoiding his hand, and whispered:

How are you feeling?

He used to look sickly, but now he looks perfectly healthy.

Shen Yunshan was silent for a moment. He was now healthy, as if his body had been rebuilt. Without that sick body, he seemed to be a healthy person who could match her.

He chuckled self-deprecatingly. If he had acted like this back then, he certainly wouldn't have let go so easily. He probably would have done something bad to her. It's a shame she still cares about his health.

"I'm fine, worry about yourself."

Words of comfort are always insincere; seeing her dejected state, I gently hugged her and patted her.

Sensing the resistance of the person in his arms, Shen Yunshan gently comforted him, "Don't be afraid, let him see if he wants to."

He knew that Lin Nian might be watching all of this from somewhere, and her resistance was probably because she was afraid of causing him trouble.

She probably still thinks that if things stay this way, Lin Nian will be willing to let them go. But no way.

Since they are all fragments, they will eventually devour each other one day.

They were already far behind Lin Nian and Jun Yu. If she hadn't broken Lin Nian's trap at the crucial moment and saved them, Lin Nian would have already annexed them.

His last memory as a conscious, independent person was the scene of her marrying Shen Yan.

I feel so resentful just thinking about it, so this time I'll just be selfish and retaliate against her for deceiving me back then.

Thinking about his plan, Shen Yunshan leaned close to Yao Xiaoxiao's ear and kissed her, only to be knocked back a few steps the next second.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, gave her a reassuring smile, and turned to leave.

Yao Xiaoxiao looked up and around, then lowered her eyes and remained silent. She knew that Lin Nian's permission for her to see them was a way out for both of them. After all, in a fit of anger, she had even asked the male protagonist of this world to intervene between them, which showed that she did not intend to forgive him.

But that was limited to just meeting; he didn't allow any romantic scenes to occur.

None of that mattered. Yao Xiaoxiao thought about Shen Yunshan's whisper in her ear. Although it sounded like ordinary comfort, telling her not to be afraid and that he would find a way, Yao Xiaoxiao knew that he would do as she hoped.

He was in a somewhat cheerful mood, but his expression remained unchanged; he was still depressed and waiting for the next person to arrive.

Wei Xun, the taciturn bodyguard and follower, remains as taciturn as ever.

Yao Xiaoxiao glanced at him, unmoved. This was different from Shen Yunshan; it wasn't something she had been tricked into giving her.

Wei Xun stared intently at her, trying to see any other expression on her face, but there was none.

Yes, she told him from the beginning that he was like an old friend of hers. Compared to Shen Yunshan, who was deceived both physically and emotionally and then cruelly abandoned, he had never received her love, nor had he been deceived.

Lin Nian, whom he envied and was jealous of every day, was nothing special.

Looking at her, a sudden surge of resentment welled up inside me, and I mustered up my courage to lean in and kiss her.

Yao Xiaoxiao frowned, and Wei Xun felt guilty for a moment, "Yes, I like you."

He even stood by An An, content to be her bodyguard, too ashamed to express his feelings. Now, facing death, he feels a pang of attachment.

Yao Xiaoxiao replied, "Yes, I know."

Wei Xun was somewhat discouraged. Yes, she knew she was a bad woman, openly and honestly playing him for a fool, yet he still eagerly became her substitute.

Seeing Wei Xun lower his eyes and hesitate, unsure of what to say, Yao Xiaoxiao spoke up first.

Are you afraid of getting beaten up?

Wei Xun looked up and was stunned, somewhat dumbfounded, not understanding her words until Yao Xiaoxiao beckoned him closer, at which point he realized what she meant.

Suppressing his emotions, he awkwardly approached her, feeling slightly uneasy.

Yao Xiaoxiao seemed not to notice, and approached him with a cold face. The next second, Wei Xun took a few steps back, looked around, and a shadow flashed in his eyes.

Yao Xiaoxiao sneered and looked at Wei Xun with a headache, "You can go out now."
