Thank you so much for the support Haoyue!

Upon arriving at the small town under the protection of Xuantian Sect, He Lianqing began shopping for supplies while Su Yanxi stood on her shoulder, curiously observing her surroundings.

“Do you want to try some candied haws, Xiao Xi?” Seeing a nearby stall selling candied haws, He Lianqing assumed that the Demon Realm probably didn’t have such a thing, so she turned her head to ask.

As expected, when Su Yanxi saw the bright red hawthorns, she couldn’t help but stick out her rosy little tongue and lick her lips, while her tail wagged uncontrollably.

He Lianqing handed the candied haws to her and patiently waited for her to take a bite, and she then took one for herself. And so, the two of them enjoyed the candied haws, taking turns feeding each other.

The last one was a bit too sour, causing the little white ball to make a face and smack her lips. Turning her head and noticing the traces of candy at the corner of He Lianqing’s mouth, the previous demeanor of an ethereal and aloof being who did not indulge in worldly pleasures had completely disappeared, the little white ball couldn’t help but giggle.

He Lianqing discarded the stick, raised her eyebrows in confusion, and touched the corner of her lips, which felt slightly sticky causing her to suddenly feel a little embarrassed.

However, just as she was about to take out a handkerchief, the little white ball, who couldn’t resist its gluttonous nature, suddenly leaned over and extended her tongue to lick it away.

The soft and moist sensation of the touch lingered for a moment before disappearing. He Lianqing suddenly froze and her footsteps paused as she he looked at the little white ball, who seemed to be savoring the taste, and her eyes slightly deepened.

After that, she bought many snacks and dried fruits that Su Yanxi had never seen before, feeding them to her while deliberately teasing and playing with the little white ball in various ways.

Especially when the little white ball was already opening its mouth, eagerly waiting for the shit officer to feed it the last piece of dried fruit, the fruit suddenly made a turn in mid-air and ended up in He Lianqing’s mouth.

Seeing the food snatched away just as it was about to reach her mouth, Su Yanxi was instantly furious, leaning over to bite He Lianqing, but He Lianqing cooperatively opened her mouth with a smile, allowing the little white ball’s little tongue to fumble around inside her mouth before taking away the piece of dried fruit.

On the side, the bewildered 007, whose eyes were practically blinded, thought, 【…】 Pervert! She doesn’t even spare a demon beast!!

Her mind instantly filled with all sorts of human-beast play scenarios, and 007 suddenly felt that something was wrong with the world.

Meanwhile, the little white ball, having successfully snatched the dried fruit, quickly swallowed it and provocatively glanced at the shit officer. She noticed that He Lianqing was touching her lips with a smile… that Su Yanxi couldn’t quite describe, damaging her image greatly.

The little white ball was taken aback and couldn’t help but scrutinize He Lianqing with its big, innocent eyes, feeling puzzled, wondering why she wasn’t angry that her food was stolen, but she instead was smiling like this.

—You should eat more, Xiao Xi.

—You should know that the more you eat, the faster you grow

—Grow up quickly, Xiao Xi, and transform into a human as soon as possible

Then…

—I can eat you up (laugh)

The little white ball, whose attention had been drawn to the spirit fruit that He Lianqing had just taken out, suddenly shivered and the fruit she was holding almost slipped from her paws.

She raised her face, which was now smeared with juice, and felt an indescribable premonition.

He Lianqing intuitively looked at the little animal and smiled, then took out a handkerchief to carefully wipe her face, “You silly little thing, why do you manage to get food all over yourself whenever you eat?”

Su Yanxi raised her head, looking like a little lord being attended to. After He Lianqing finished tending to her, she shook the fur and her tail behind her gently swayed with delight.

Then, on the second night after they settled in the small town, He Lianqing suddenly felt that the little white ball’s body was gradually warming up while she was asleep.

She sensibly opened her eyes, holding the little white ball and sitting up. She found Su Yanxi had tightly closed her eyes and was frowning, tossing and turning in bed, and with her four paws swiping aimlessly in the air as she kept whimpering and sobbing.

At first, He Lianqing was a little anxious, but then she suddenly remembered that the little white ball had consumed many spirit fruits and spirit stones, so it was probably time for her to transform in advance.

Demon cultivators could also use spirit stones. They could absorb spiritual energy and convert it into the magic power they needed, which would assist them in their cultivation. The same applied to spirit fruits and spirit wine.

Moreover, Ming Ni was originally a demon beast, born in the demon realm and accompanied by demonic energy in her cultivation, which is why she was considered a demon cultivator.

No matter how evil demon cultivators might be portrayed, they were still human beings who cultivated with magic power. After all, they couldn’t compare to demon beasts, which were much stronger and didn’t need to be so concerned about anything. They could consume as much as they wanted without any problems, making their cultivation progress naturally faster than demon cultivators.

Especially during this time, He Lianqing had forced Su Yanxi to become accustomed to the abundant spiritual energy, making it easier for her to absorb the spiritual energy from the spirit stones and possibly leading to an early transformation.

While she was lost in thought, the little white ball beside her had already completed the transformation process.

He Lianqing watched as the girl transformed into a human form and huddled her limbs together, so the corners of her lips couldn’t help but slightly curl up. After raising her for so long, she finally saw her transformed.

Her fingertip ambiguously traced up the girl’s fair skin. As she brushed aside the black hair covering her cheek, revealing the exquisite, beautiful, and incredibly adorable face, but then He Lianqing suddenly froze.

Her appearance obviously resembled a certain face from her previous life, just that she looked more innocent due to her young age and didn’t exude the same enchanting and ruthless aura as she would have in the future. Yet for some reason, different scenes inexplicably surfaced in He Lianqing’s mind.

Those were scenes of two women who were always together and grew old together that she had never seen before, yet she felt intimately familiar with the two women’s interactions.

The faces of the two women kept changing, but what remained constant was their unwavering love for each other as they aged together.

Although one of the women didn’t resemble Xiao Xi much, He Lianqing instantly recognized her as Su Yanxi. After all, the overwhelming feeling of love and tenderness that flooded her heart upon seeing her for the first time was unmistakable.

As for the other woman, who accompanied Su Yanxi until old age, He Lianqing felt a deep familiarity from the depths of her soul; it was an inexplicable familiarity, as if she was that woman herself.

Could this be… a recollection from their past lives’ reincarnations memories?

A slight smile showed on He Lianqing’s lips; she had finally found the answer she had been seeking. Although her memories hadn’t returned completely, consisting of only a few vague images, they didn’t matter anymore.

Because even without any memories, she had firmly engraved Su Yanxi in her heart, such that she couldn’t bear to hurt her, couldn’t allow others to bully her, and wanted to cherish and protect her… What other reasons could explain this other than her profound love for her, which had been deeply etched into her soul?

—It turns out that our fate is so deep, my dear 

—This time, I found you first 

—It’s still me who fell in love with you first 

—Fortunately, I fell in love with you first, Xiao Xi 

So, when Su Yanxi woke up, not yet realizing how she had transformed into a human form, and was startled to find herself naked under the blanket, she was completely taken aback by He Lianqing’s affectionate and undisguised tender gaze

—Was this girl traumatized or something, hello?!

Knowing that Su Yanxi probably wouldn’t dress herself yet, He Lianqing personally helped her put on her clothes, feeling a sense of satisfaction deep within.

Su Yanxi found the human’s attitude too strange, so she secretly observed her expression, not daring to be too arrogant, and obediently allowed He Lianqing to dress her.

But…

The look on He Lianqing’s face now was more familiar to her than before, because she had seen women look at her this way in previous worlds.

Tender, affectionate, loving, joyful, doting…

With the preparations she had made, just confirmed again that what she had guessed when she came here was correct, so she wasn’t too surprised.

—They are indeed the same person, He Lianqing from the previous world.”

Although she didn’t know why He Lianqing had no memories in each world or how she managed to escape from the previous world without being detected by the main system… Su Yanxi no longer cared. The one thing she was sure of was the woman in front of her, who once again followed her to this world.

—How profound must this love be to allow her to find and deeply love me in every world, despite not having her memories each time?

Su Yanxi was moved in her heart but dared not show it on her face. Her friendship with 007 was genuine, and she truly trusted 007. However, she couldn’t guarantee that if 007 found out about these things, it wouldn’t report them to the main system out of concern for her.

He Lianqing was originally an external member of the Temporal Management Bureau. Although it was unclear how she managed to cross over to the internal worlds and established a connection with her, who was just system data. But by doing so, the balance between the inside and outside of the Temporal Management Bureau was broken, which the main system wouldn’t allow.

Perhaps at that time, it would either be her data being destroyed and recreated by the main system, or He Lianqing being completely annihilated.

However, she believed that 007 would never allow her to self-destruct, so the only option was to target He Lianqing and inform the main system in advance when the time came.

But if the woman who loved her the most in the world was gone, what meaning would there be for her to continue with her missions?

So, both of them thought that the other had no memories and silently kept it from each other. However, their interactions suddenly became more intimate and natural.

007 naturally didn’t suspect anything since that was how her partner and female leads in every world interacted, though things seemed to be progressing rather quickly in this world…

“Xiao Xi, I need to go somewhere first.”

On that day, Su Yanxi had just happily finished eating the precious spirit fruit that her lover specially found for her. He Lianqing suddenly walked over from the door, bent down to kiss Su Yanxi’s forehead, and her eyes were filled with a tender affection that could drown people, “There’s something very important that I need to do, and it might take some time before I come back, so can you wait for me in Xuantian Sect?”

Su Yanxi tilted her head with a trace of reluctance on her increasingly enchanting face, which was unexpectedly touching, “then you have to bring me delicious food.”

As expected, He Lianqing’s expression became even gentler. She brushed aside the strands of hair on the girl’s cheek and tucked them behind her ear, “Alright, I’ll definitely bring you your favorite food. So, be a good girl and wait for me in Xuantian Sect. Don’t cause any trouble, okay?”

Just as Su Yanxi was about to retort defiantly, He Lianqing continued, “Even if you want to cause trouble, wait until I come back, and I’ll have your back.”

Su Yanxi: “…”

“But if someone dares to bully you, no matter who it is, you don’t have to worry about it. Don’t hesitate to find my Master to avenge you first, and we’ll deal with the rest when I return. Be smart, little fool.”

Su Yanxi: “…”

007: 【…】 Isn’t this advice a bit inappropriate?

He Lianqing then went on to give a long and tedious lecture, so much that Su Yanxi got annoyed by all the nagging; thus, she quickly transformed into her beast form and trotted into the inner room.

He Lianqing sighed helplessly as she watched her fleeing figure, and she felt a bit anxious whenever Su Yanxi wasn’t by her side. But this time, what she had to do wasn’t something she wanted Su Yanxi to see…

Tsk, it seemed that after finishing this task, she couldn’t leave Xiao Xi again. Only with her by her side could she feel at ease, and the two of them must always be together.

As for what He Lianqing was going to do…

Su Yanxi wasn’t particularly curious. After all, everyone had their own secrets, and they trusted each other. Naturally, there was no need to suspect anything.

007, on the other hand, was different. In its view, if the female lead was being secretive and deliberately hiding things from Susu, she must be up to no good, and something bad she didn’t want Susu to find out!

So, it reluctantly followed the female lead, determined to keep a close eye on her, and ready to uncover her hidden secrets.

And then, probably about a month later—

【Ah ah ah Susu!】

007’s miserable scream transmitted to Su Yanxi’s ears through telepathy, upon which, she put down the spirit wine in her hand and asked anxiously and worriedly, “What happened, 007?”

【Th-th-the female, the female lead is crazy!】 007 couldn’t bear to watch anymore and stammered subconsciously in shock, 【Do you know what crazy things your female lead did?】

When Su Yanxi realized it wasn’t about 007 but her lover having trouble, she relaxed and curiously asked, “What did she do that shocked you so much?”

【Sh-she, she she she—】 007’s voice suddenly became high-pitched, with a terrified expression. 【She actually castrated the male lead!】

Su Yanxi: “…”

“Is that really so cruel?” Su Yanxi couldn’t help but roll her eyes, “If I were Ah Qing, I’d castrate that stud horse of a male lead too.”

【No, no, that’s not it!】 007 realized that it had focused on the wrong point and continued with a twisted expression, 【The problem is! After she castrated the male lead, she forced him to watch his harem engage in lesbian relationships!】

Su Yanxi: “…”

【I don’t know what methods she used, but the women in the male lead’s harem had already engaged in lesbian relationships before!】 007 continued in shock, 【That’s still manageable, but just recently… that twisted female lead suddenly locked them up in cages two by two!】

【And the food and water provided daily is only enough for half of a person’s minimum living requirements, which basically forces them to turn against each other! I overheard the female lead telling the male lead that she’s going to keep the last surviving woman and let her and the male lead live, but they must live in misery and despair—】
