After Defying the Villain's Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!-Chapter 297 - Young friend, I have an item that can quickly enhance your cultivation and improve your state of mind.

Chapter 297: Young friend, I have an item that can quickly enhance your cultivation and improve your state of mind.

Inside a damaged house, the Jiuyan Old Ancestor entered with Nangong Jiuxi, and the Billowing Clouds Old Ancestor, Fan Tong, had been waiting inside for a long time.

Following the Jiuyan Old Ancestor’s gesture, Nangong Jiuxi found a spot to sit down.

Afterward, the Jiuyan Old Ancestor also sat down cross-legged while Fan Tong took out a treasure mirror.

A silver screen about several zhang wide appeared, displaying the scene of the Jiuyan Sect with extremely conspicuous golden characters saying 【First Life】.

At first, Nangong Jiuxi was confused, but as Jiang Chen appeared, she uncontrollably immersed herself in it, her emotions fluctuating intensely.

Seeing Jiang Chen misunderstood by his master and peers and receiving cold stares, a thick demonic qi burst out from her body, carrying an indescribable intent to kill.

Seeing Jiang Chen still striving for righteousness despite being misunderstood repeatedly and still trying to change others’ perceptions of him, the killing intent faded, and the demonic qi disappeared.

All that remained in Nangong Jiuxi’s heart was an indescribable sense of heartache.

Seeing Jiang Chen expelled from the sect and the Jiang family destroyed, she was filled with murderous intent and became hysterical again.

“I will kill all of you!!”

This murderous intent persisted as the scenes on the silver screen switched rapidly.

Until... Jiang Chen met her!

Nangong Jiuxi finally understood.

Why did she, who always held herself in high regard, have a special affection for Jiang Chen?

It turns out that all of this was arranged by fate...

That so-called red thread of destiny was nothing more than a prop to facilitate their meeting and advance the plot.

She also finally understood why, after meeting Jiang Chen in the Mysterious Ice Realm, did he always refuse to openly acknowledge his identity?

Originally, Jiang Chen did not want to be led by the nose by the heavens...

Indeed, she was different from others, always standing by Jiang Chen’s side.

But it was precisely because of her ruthless nature that Jiang Chen ended up making enemies of the entire Central Domain, eventually being hunted by his fellow sect members, and had no choice but to detonate his spirit sword and flee far away.

She thought she was protecting Jiang Chen, but she didn’t realize her presence actually intensified Jiang Chen’s infamy and step by step pushed him toward the abyss.

Watching herself on the screen dying under a rain of swords to atone for her sins, her heart was filled with mixed emotions.

The great mistake had already been made.

What was the point of her death now?

At this moment, Nangong Jiuxi began to doubt.

She doubted whether her feelings for Jiang Chen were genuine.

Were they influenced by the heavens, or did they truly belong to her heart?

“Ask your heart.”

Sensing her emotional turmoil, the Jiuyan Old Ancestor spoke for the first time.

“Ask my heart?” Nangong Jiuxi was puzzled.

From the retrospective on the screen, her existence was arranged by the heavens, her feelings were arranged by the heavens, and her actions were also deliberately arranged by the heavens!

Such a ‘her’ is just like a puppet.

A self-righteous and utterly ignorant puppet!

Does such a puppet truly have a heart?

The scenes on the screen continued to rapidly change.

The plot of each life was the same, and although there were slight differences in each life’s development, they all led to the same ending.

Until the ninth life, Jiang Chen avoided her.

He avoided all the places where she would appear and also avoided the red thread of fate that connected them.

In this ninth life, she did not meet Jiang Chen, nor did she die for Jiang Chen.

She should have been happy.

Because in this way, she would no longer bring suffering to Jiang Chen.

But her heart seemed to be missing something, becoming extremely empty, as if it had lost its soul.

Suddenly, Nangong Jiuxi abruptly awoke!

She finally understood the words of the Jiuyan Old Ancestor.

The heavens were not omnipotent.

The heavens could pull strings between her and Jiang Chen and could influence her fondness for Jiang Chen, but they couldn’t make her truly and wholeheartedly fall in love with Jiang Chen!

Her liking for Jiang Chen started from their encounter and ended with death.

Undeniably, her initial fondness for Jiang Chen was indeed due to the heavens.

But what intensified this fondness to the point of no return was the companionship and mutual understanding in each life.

All of this stemmed from the heart.

It was because of the existence of her ‘heart’ that she was willing to die for Jiang Chen, to change herself for Jiang Chen, and to strive to be a ‘good person’!

All of this was not manipulation by the heavens but her own choice!

And because of this, watching Jiang Chen die at the hands of Lin Feng in each life, she could feel the agony as if her heart was being cut by knives!

The nine lives quickly came to an end, and the screen before her eyes disappeared.

Nangong Jiuxi stood still, tears rolling down her eyes.

She missed the time spent with Jiang Chen in the previous eight lives.

The two of them walked together, whether sleeping in the wilderness or living among mortals... all of it made her feel an indescribable happiness.

But what should she do in this life?

In this life, Jiang Chen wanted to be a villain, no longer maintaining the path of righteousness like in previous lives.

In this life, Jiang Chen also did not wish for her to be a good person like in the previous eight lives.

Under such circumstances, what should she do?

Continue to be a murderous witch?

The events of the Mysterious Ice Realm proved that doing so would only bring endless trouble to Jiang Chen.

Strive to be a truly good person?

But this would go against Jiang Chen’s stance in this life...

She wasn’t mad, but she was lost...

Suddenly, the words of Jiang Chen in this life echoed in her mind:

“Jiuxi, right and wrong are not always so clear in this world. Perhaps your biggest mistake was meeting me.”

“No, it’s not like that,” Nangong Jiuxi cried profusely while shaking her head desperately.

“It’s me who dragged you down, it’s me who forced you to be manipulated by the heavens, it’s me...”

She kept murmuring, her voice intermittent and laden with heavy sobs.

“Perhaps I should disappear,” Nangong Jiuxi looked up, murmuring again.

Upon hearing this, Jiuyan Old Ancestor and Fan Tong were both startled!

This was not the purpose of having Nangong Jiuxi watch the nine cycles of reincarnation!

The two of them just felt that Nangong Jiuxi deserved to know the truth, that’s all!

“Are you foolish?” Jiuyan Old Ancestor spoke helplessly.

“What’s the big deal about doing bad things? Isn’t it fine as long as you don’t get caught?”

Hearing these words, Fan Tong greatly praised the ingenuity!

Nangong Jiuxi’s eyes lit up even more!

She was caught up in the dilemma of being a good person or a bad person, but she forgot that only those who get caught are the bad ones!

Even now, hearing someone slander and criticize Jiang Chen, she still struggles to restrain the murderous intent in her heart.

Since she couldn’t restrain it, then she wouldn’t.

As long as she didn’t make it so obvious, she naturally wouldn’t bring trouble to Jiang Chen as long as she wasn’t discovered.

That was the real solution!

“Listening to Old Ancestor’s words is like being enlightened with the essence of wisdom!” Nangong Jiuxi stood up and respectfully saluted the Jiuyan Old Ancestor.

She and the Jiuyan Old Ancestor were neither kin nor had any obligation, yet she addressed him as ‘Old Ancestor’, which showed the gratitude in her heart.

“It’s a trivial matter.”

Jiuyan Old Ancestor waved his hand, indicating that this was all basic knowledge.

This matter also gave him a reminder.

Before, he expected the plan ‘to let the world experience pain’ would stop because of the Empress’s edict.

Perhaps all is good as long as... you don’t get caught?

Thinking this, Jiuyan Old Ancestor suddenly sneered.

“Jiuxi, are you alright now?”

And just at that moment, the voices of two Myriad Dao Old Ancestors calling out came from outside the door.

It seems that because Nangong Jiuxi has been inside for too long without coming out, the two of them are worried.

“It’s a pity that the immersion experience of the Memory Reflecting Mirror is too poor. Without involving oneself, it can’t drive mad cultivators of the Divine Passage realm and above. Otherwise, I would have made these two old people from the Myriad Dao Demon Sect watch it without being able to look away!” Jiuyan Old Ancestor lamented in his heart.

After sending Nangong Jiuxi out and everyone had left, Jiuyan Old Ancestor’s eyes suddenly lit up as he noticed another person.

This person was Su Shan, who had just come out of the secret realm and was still doubting his life!

“Young friend, I have an item that can quickly enhance your cultivation and improve your state of mind. Would you like to take a look?”

Jiuyan Old Ancestor approached with a sinister smile.
