The protagonist committed numerous evil deeds.

After dinner, Shen Yingsi tidied up the kitchen while Wen Li sat in a chair, peeling fruit for him.

Lost in thought, she was first awakened by Shen Yingsi's voice when the knife accidentally cut her skin, and then she noticed the wound on her index finger.

"Ah Li!"

The bleeding stopped immediately when her hand was gripped tightly. Looking at Shen Yingsi's alarmed expression, Wen Li found it a little funny; she didn't feel any pain at all.

Such a small wound was carefully held, and even the application of medicine was done with seriousness and care, as if it were a major event that everyone was watching and could not afford to make any mistakes.

"Ah Si, you don't need to be so careful."

Shen Yingsi focused intently on treating her wounds, and the precious ointment took effect, gradually healing them. He touched her intact wounds and looked up at her.

"Ah Li, be careful."

"Shen Xianzhi, you're just too nervous."

"What is Ali thinking? What is she thinking about that has nothing to do with us?"

Wen Li looked into his eyes and said, "I'm thinking, should we go back?"

"What are you doing back?"

"casual."

"casual?"

"Shen Xianzhe, I want to go back. I want to understand everything. No matter what I have to do, I..."

"Jiang Xunzhi".

Shen Yingsi suddenly interrupted her, "Isn't it good for us to be like this? Going back means that whatever we do will be wrong, and whatever we do will only lead to getting hurt. I'll be there for you no matter what you want to do. You only need me."

He squatted down like that, looking up at her, his eyes seeing only her, nothing else.

For the past two years, they have been inseparable. Shen Yingsi's world revolves solely around her. He has completely abandoned everything from the past, or more accurately, everything except her.

But Wen Li didn't. She couldn't forget Jiang Yanhong, the Jiang family, or the impending destruction of the world... Even after being pulled out of the abyss of grief, she was still herself. She wanted to do many things, even if they were useless, even if they would hurt her, even if she would die in the end, she was not afraid.

But she still had Shen Yingsi; she was like his whole world. Becoming someone's whole world is a very stressful thing.

“Shen Xianzhe, as I told you before, our world is abnormal. That person told me that this is a book with you as the protagonist and your ascension to godhood as the main storyline. But this world is real, and we are all still alive. You should think more about this than I do, instead of avoiding the topic.”

"I want to face all of this, I want to figure everything out. I'm not afraid of getting hurt, I'm not afraid of..."

die……

“But I’m afraid! Once you go out and do one thing, you’ll easily get caught up in other things. This world isn’t as simple as you think. There are so many people out there now. How many of them want us to die, and how many of them want us to save them? There are too many things to deal with, and new problems keep popping up every day. They all want you to live or die according to their wishes. Ali, you will suffer a lot. You will lose your freedom.”

Wen Li thought for a moment, trying to persuade him, "But as long as we live in this world, we can't ignore these issues, and I've thought about it for a long time, and I feel that the Jiang family's affairs haven't been investigated clearly yet..."

"Wen Lin, have you considered that if you investigate the Jiang family case thoroughly, can you still remain untainted? Can you still be Jiang Xunzhi? Human or demon, which side would you choose?"

Wen Li couldn't answer any of the questions Shen Yingsi asked, and Shen Yingsi didn't want her to answer either. He pressed the back of her head and kissed her lips, deepening the kiss until she was confused and breathing heavily, before he finally released her.

He said in a hoarse voice, "Alright, Ali, let's not talk about this. Tomorrow, I'll take you to town, okay?"

Wen Li was a little dazed, but seeing his cautious manner again, she couldn't help but soften. She nodded and chose to remain silent once more.

He tossed and turned around on her for a long time that night, so long that she couldn't think of anyone else but him.

As dawn broke, Wen Li opened her eyes in Shen Yingsi's arms. She stared at him without moving, and finally said helplessly, "Shen Yingsi, you love me too much, which is a bit of a problem for me."

She gradually fell asleep again. Shen Yingsi slowly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with unyielding sorrow. He never knew what to do with her.

But she'll get hurt. Letting her go outside will hurt her; she'll suffer a lot...

What should I do? What should I do?

Shen Yingsi didn't know that he just hugged the person even tighter.

Half a month later, Wen Li returned to the place where humans gathered.

The outside world was far worse than Wenli had imagined. Half a month ago, people had already begun to experience food shortages. These two weeks were a catastrophic disaster for a remote, barren, and cold place like Xueling.

Everywhere they went, all they saw were corpses gradually being covered by snow. It seemed that everyone in this tribe at the foot of the snow-capped mountain had starved to death.

Wen Li always passes through here on her way home. Several clans have lived here for generations, numbering at least a hundred households. They had warned her that it would be very cold in the mountains in winter, and the road was easily blocked.

Now they opened a few rooms at random, and all the people inside were lying dead beside the fire.

The fire had long since gone out.

Silence... Hundreds of rooms stand quietly here, the wind creaking through the slightly ajar doors.

They stopped walking and just stood there quietly. The situation in the town was probably similar to this place, so there was no need to leave.

"Should we go back?"

Wen Li nodded and said weakly, "Okay, let's go back."

"Wang Wang Wang..."

The Second Master suddenly called out a few times, and Wen Li frowned, looking at Shen Yingsi.

"There's something evil about it."

Shen Yingsi nodded, and they quickly hid in a room. After a while, through the window, they saw dozens of demons passing by in groups.

"Sigh, do you really think the Demon Lord would hide in this wretched place?"

"Who knows what she's thinking? She's asking for trouble!"

"Hurry up and go, don't let those cultivators get there before us."

As the sound faded into the distance, Shen Yingsi released her hand and said, "I'll go kill them first."

Wen Li grabbed his hand and said, "Shen Xianzhi, let's go south now. The winters here are too cold."

Shen Yingsi looked at her and nodded, saying, "Okay."

They went outside and walked along the path between the tribes, their shoulders covered in snow again. Wenli felt that the snow under her feet felt a little off, so she immediately stepped back.

"Asi."

Shen Yingsi immediately used magic to brush away the snow, only to find that it was two corpses tightly embracing each other. His hand froze.

Why didn't anyone save them?

Upon hearing Wen Li's voice, Shen Yingsi looked at her. She had her head down, and he couldn't see her expression.

Wen Li stood there, looking down at the corpses huddled together at her feet.

Now, now she feels like she's back in her previous life, a life where everyone was waiting to die, and she watched people die one by one every day.

Because demons don't need to eat, but humans do; demons aren't afraid of the cold, but humans are...

She looked up at Shen Yingsi, tears streaming down her porcelain-white face. Her white clothes blended into the snowy landscape, making her red lips, black hair, and the ribbon fluttering behind her appear even more vibrant.

She swayed precariously, supporting herself, and cried as she asked him, "Why isn't anyone coming to save us?"

That was his nightmare...

Xie Xiao led his team to the snowy mountains, but before they could even look for anyone, a note inexplicably appeared in his hand—an instruction from a deity.

They went to the address on the note two years ago, but the people there had already left by then.

Has His Highness left again?

Xie Xiao dared not stop and could only hurry over with his men. Even with the help of the gods in heaven, he had not seen His Highness even once in the past two years of chasing.

They might really be able to hide forever.
