After being reborn, the villain comes with a spoiler tag.

The afterglow of the setting sun, like a magnificent golden brocade, gently spread across the bustling streets of Tanzhou County, gilding this ancient and vibrant city with a warm glow.

Shops lined both sides of the street, their various signs gleaming in the setting sun.

Pedestrians thronged the streets, bustling about, their cries of vendors, laughter, and children's playful shouts blending together to create a vibrant and lively scene of everyday life.

This is Tanzhou Prefecture, the capital of the Chu Kingdom. Although it is a mortal city, it has never been afflicted by natural disasters or man-made calamities for hundreds of years because it is located in the territory of the Xuantian Sword Sect, one of the five major sects of the righteous path. Under the rule of the mortal dynasty, the weather is favorable and the country is peaceful and prosperous.

On the streets, the faces of the people passing by were filled with contentment and peace, as if they had never worried about the future. Such an expression was extremely rare on the faces of ordinary people living in Izumo.

Long Yucheng seemed to be infected by the prosperous and peaceful scene before him. Since entering the city, he had been looking around with great interest. He would occasionally pull Huo Yu through the crowded streets, and sometimes disappear into the crowd on his own. Before long, he would present Huo Yu with some novel toys that he had never seen before, as if they were treasures.

Huo Yu remained calm and composed, letting Long Yucheng lead him forward.

Although he didn't show much enthusiasm, he never shook off Long Yucheng's hand, only occasionally responding lightly. He accepted all the food or other small toys that Long Yucheng offered.

Beneath his calm exterior, Huo Yu's divine sense had already silently enveloped the entire city, meticulously sensing every slight movement.

The moment Huo Yu stepped into the city, he discovered an unexpected person within the range of his divine sense.

And that person, at the very moment Huo Yu noticed her, keenly sensed his divine sense.

The two tacitly took a step back and withdrew their divine senses as if the brief confrontation had never happened.

However, although neither Huo Yu nor that person wanted to meet face to face, someone seemed determined not to let them have their way.

Since entering Tanzhou County, Long Yucheng had been wandering aimlessly among the shops in the streets and alleys, his steps gradually leading him closer to the person Huo Yu did not want to meet.

Upon discovering the uninvited guest, Huo Yu knew that all of this was no coincidence. However, looking at Long Yucheng's enthusiastic appearance and the relaxation in his eyes, he simply lowered his eyes slightly and decided to let things take their course and observe the situation.

Finally, the person came into Huo Yu's view.

Huo Yu spotted Bai Xue in the crowd at a glance. This woman's cultivation technique was extraordinary. Even amidst the noisy and chaotic crowd, she possessed an unapproachable and aloof aura, as if surrounded by an invisible layer of ice.

Bai Xue was stunningly beautiful and had a cold, aloof demeanor. Passersby were always amazed by her beauty, but they were also intimidated by the ancient, icy aura emanating from her and dared not look at her any longer.

However, Huo Yu's attention did not linger on Bai Xue, but was drawn to a mortal woman beside her.

The woman showed no signs of spiritual energy or spiritual roots. She was intently selecting jade hairpins from the stall, her expression gentle and focused.

Snow White stood quietly beside her, her gaze cold and icy, completely out of place in the bustling market.

Huo Yu wasn't interested in the relationship between the two. What truly caught his attention was the radiant golden celestial ridge on the head of the mortal woman.

Although this golden prism was not as dazzling as Long Yucheng's, it was still eye-catching enough, making the light golden Heavenly Dao prism on Bai Xue's head pale in comparison.

The annotation attached to the golden prism of this mortal woman was also concise and clear, consisting of only two words, yet it was immediately understandable:

[Female lead]

The words "Female Second Lead, Fateful, Heaven's Mercy" above Bai Xue's head seemed to form a kind of contrast with her.

When Huo Yuchu was reborn, he did not understand the meaning of the words "Female Second" above Bai Xue's head, but now, how could he not know the profound meaning: Bai Xue and this mortal woman are both the protagonist's partners appointed by the Heavenly Dao.

The fact that Long Yucheng appeared in Tanzhou County today was clearly not a coincidence.

He stared at the line of inexplicably glaring golden text, his gaze gradually turning cold.

……

Long Yucheng was not just wandering around; he came to the Chu Kingdom in the first place for the 20,000 points.

These two tasks issued by the system were different from all the previous tasks. As if afraid that he would miss the task objective again, the system actually provided task guidance for the first time.

In Long Yucheng's vision, two faint golden lights stretched clearly towards the other end of the city, like two golden threads guiding him forward.

According to the trajectory indicated by the mission, his two mission objectives seem to be in the same direction.

It wasn't until he saw the mission objective with his own eyes that Long Yucheng realized that they weren't in the same direction at all, but were clearly in the same place.

The target, dressed in a white dress and resembling a fairy from the moon palace, seemed to notice his gaze and cast a cold glance at him.

The coldness in that gaze, as if it were made of ice, sent a chill down Long Yucheng's spine, as if he had been pierced by an invisible blast of cold air.

And he didn't know if it was his imagination, but he felt that there was a hint of murderous intent in that gaze.

But that feeling was fleeting, and since Long Yucheng had never met her before, he attributed it to a delusion.

Standing next to her was another of Long Yucheng's mission targets. After noticing her companion's gaze, she also looked over at Long Yucheng.

This woman in a pale yellow dress was completely different from her companion. If the woman in white was like the eternal ice of the North, then this woman in yellow was like the spring breeze of the South, which remained unchanged throughout the four seasons.

These two people, who were completely opposite in their views, were now walking side by side.

The moment Long Yucheng met the white-clad woman's gaze, he felt a pang of unease. But thinking of the 20,000 points and the ever-approaching opening of the Ancient Immortal Realm, Long Yucheng gritted his teeth and silently encouraged himself.

"I'm going all out for the points! At worst, I'll just get the cold shoulder, it's not like I'll lose a piece of my flesh!"

Right now, the only problem standing in his way is: how do he get to know these two mission targets?

Based on Long Yucheng's past experience with several acquaintance missions, whether he unilaterally reports his name or has a conversation with the mission target, it can be considered as completing the mission.

However, Long Yucheng obviously couldn't just walk up and introduce himself like that. Not to mention what the other person would think of him, his senior brother was right there! If he really did that, what kind of lecherous image would he have in his senior brother's eyes!
