Inside the Martial Arts Hall.

The crowd stared at the water mirror, which showed no reaction whatsoever, and whispered among themselves in confusion.

"Where's Yu Shengyan? Why haven't we seen her for so long?"

"Chu Mo has also disappeared. It's really strange. Didn't they all just enter the secret realm?"

"Could it be that they're secretly taking a short rest before the end of the war?"

"We should have said something, everyone's waiting."

"Yeah, I can't wait to see how these two fight."

Venerable Yangxi frowned as he looked at the water mirror. After a moment, he flashed to the side of Immortal Venerable Lieyang and whispered a few words.

The Immortal Venerable Lieyang remained expressionless and nodded to indicate that he understood.

...

Inside the dimly lit cave.

Qi Yu felt a chill run down her spine.

Although I knew the female lead seemed a bit off, isn't this going a little too far?

Is Chu Mo still alive?!

Fenxin seemed unaware that she had frightened Qi Yu, and continued to smile.

Her slender white fingers flew, and Chu Mo, who had been limp like a puppet, instantly stood up straight, standing behind Fen Xin like a knight.

The knight had his eyes closed and looked completely harmless.

Fenxin looked at Qi Yu with a smile and said, "My lord, would you like to hear Fenxin's story again?"

Qi Yu: "..."

Qi Yu was already numb. The series of explosions had made her somewhat reckless, so she simply sat down on the ground, took out the little white bird from her bosom, and then took out a chicken leg from her storage ring, looking like she really wanted to hear a story.

"Go ahead and speak, I'm listening."

Burning Heart: "..."

Feng Xiao, who had been observing from the shadows: "..."

After composing herself for a moment, Fenxin put on a perfect smile again.

"Perhaps it should start from my birth."

"I was originally an ordinary seven-stringed zither, but my supreme master took a liking to me and used me as a tool to woo the one I loved. He played 'The Phoenix Seeks Its Mate' day and night, and under the infusion of this love, I gradually developed intelligence."

"I began to be able to perceive the outside world and watch my master and his beloved fall in love, and then separate for various reasons. My master was also persecuted and sealed away so that he would never awaken again."

"And so I fell into slumber, until the beginning of this story."

She looked at Qi Yu and smiled gently, "You probably already know what happened next."

Qi Yu: "No, I don't know."

Holding the chicken leg that she had just finished eating, she said somewhat awkwardly, "To be honest, I've only read the beginning of your story."

Burning Heart: "...Yes, sir, please allow me to continue."

"It's probably like the usual pattern in all storybooks: after rescuing a damsel in distress, the hero becomes so infatuated with the hero's tenderness that he forgets his own mission."

"What's ridiculous is that this hero's tenderness doesn't even stem from genuine love, but rather from possessiveness and a desire to seize."

With a flick of his fingers, Fenxin made Chu Mo unknowingly spin around between the two of them.

She gazed intently at the man before her, her eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions, a myriad of feelings hidden within, yet suppressed by her gaze.

Fen Xin chuckled and waved his hand, pulling Chu Mo behind him again.

"I don't know if I've been blinded by greed or what, but I can't resist him at all. I take every word he says as gospel, and I'm happy to do it even if it hurts me."

"In the end, she even forgot her mission of becoming a spirit from the zither for him, and was willing to give up her own life."

"Absolutely stupid."

"If I had a second chance, I would definitely not repeat the same mistakes and would complete my mission."

Actually, it was all arranged by the author...

It turns out she transmigrated into a rebirth novel...

Qi Yu muttered a curse under her breath, then asked with a puzzled look, "Your mission? What is it?"

A sacred expression appeared on Fenxin's face. "Naturally, it is to awaken my supreme master."

Qi Yu blinked and tentatively asked, "Then... who is your master?"

Burning Heart's crimson eyes flashed with a strange light as she parted her lips and said, "Demon God Qi Yan."

Qi Yu: "???"

Is the owner of the ancient artifact, the Broken Jade Burning Heart Zither, the demon god Qi Yan?

No wonder Burning Heart Society is the Holy Maiden of Blood Fiend Sect!

The Blood Fiend Cult worships the demon god Qi Yan, so it's not surprising that she would be the cult's holy maiden.

wrong……

The Blood Fiend Cult doesn't seem to have appeared at all in the original work...

Therefore, the cause-and-effect relationship may even be reversed.

She is a loyal subordinate of the Demon God Qi Yan. After the female protagonist of "Burning Heart Tribulation" awakens her heart, she founded the Blood Fiend Sect?!

The little white bird sitting on her shoulder suddenly stirred when it heard those four words.

Fenxin looked at Qi Yu and said, "I must thank you, sir. If it weren't for your arrival, I wouldn't have been able to break free from these shackles."

Qi Yu slowly typed out a question mark: "?"

How did this get involved with her?

Is this a system bug?

The system, sensing that the plot was getting increasingly out of control, remained silent and quickly searched for the source of the problem.

The two fell into an awkward silence for a while.

Qi Yu glanced at Chu Mo, who was still standing there, and said, "If I may ask, cough, is Chu Mo alive or dead?"

He's the male protagonist of this world, after all. Even though he's a rotten person, I feel like killing him would affect the stability of this world.

Fenxin turned around, looked at Chu Mo standing behind her, and smiled, saying, "My lord, shall we guess?"

Qi Yu: "...I guess he's dead."

Fenxin shook his head regretfully and said, "It's a pity, sir, you guessed wrong. Fenxin still has some use for him and will not kill him."

Qi Yu breathed a sigh of relief for no apparent reason.

Fenxin said, "I came here because of my limited understanding of you, sir. I know you are kind-hearted and have been kind to me. But I hope you will not interfere with me. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to become your enemy."

"After all, the most important person is still the master."

Qi Yu: "..."

To be fair, although Chu Mo also manipulates you, are you really not brainwashing yourself with this Demon God Qi Yan?

Who could be more important than myself?!

However, with Fenxin's devout expression and the look of a fanatical believer, Qi Yu decided to keep quiet and avoid trouble.

"I'll try my best," she said, scratching her head. "So, can you let me out? There must be a lot of people waiting outside to watch my competition."

I wonder if anyone in the Martial Arts Hall noticed that she's been missing for so long.

Fenxin nodded. "Then Fenxin will not bother you any longer, farewell."

With that, she waved her sleeve, and a white light appeared before Qi Yu's eyes, placing him on a fighting stage.

Standing opposite him was Chu Mo, who seemed unaware that he had been controlled by Fen Xin, only frowning and touching his neck.

Qi Yu stared at him silently for a while, then suddenly blurted out, "Chu Mo, you... deserve it."

Chu Mo: "?"
