Guan Yueyue stayed at the foot of the cliff and watched her being dragged back by the Xu family father and son who came down the mountain, watched them pull out her bones and cut out her heart, watched them tear off the pretext of an "accident" and conceal the real cause of her death, and then make up a romantic story for outsiders who happened to return home.
She heard her name being mentioned again and again together with Xu Zhukong, heard those who knew the situation tell lies and cover up their shame, heard those who didn't know the situation sigh and lament.
She killed Xu Zhukong.
Then he watched as the other party's body was found by Xu's father, so he went to Lingshan Taoist priest for help, and asked the Taoist priest to perform a ritual on the grounds that the other party was "harmed by evil spirits", so that he could be reborn on the seventh day.
But she was unwilling to do so.

The game progress bar reached the end, and the system sound that had only appeared during the downpour when they first arrived and then disappeared sounded again:
[The game has been completed, please choose to leave]
[Wait for all players to enter the God's Domain Space and proceed with game settlement]
Fang Chen hadn't recovered from the story when he heard this voice. He wiped his face and said, "Finally it's over."
Cheng Wuye was not surprised by this result. He finally turned his attention to Lu Nan who was tied up with a lasso in front of him: "Want to leave?"
Lu Nan trembled all over: "No, please..."
Cheng Wuye didn't bother to say a word to him. With the lasso still in his hand, he kicked him directly on the temple.
Lu Nan's head hit the uneven tip of the stone hard and went limp. It was not until a long time later that blood began to seep out of his hair bit by bit.
Fang Chen met Cheng Wuye's gaze and subconsciously took a step back: "Players in the game cannot kill each other directly..."
"He just fainted, but he's not dead yet." Cheng Wuye put away his weapon. "At most, he can't return to the Divine Realm space subjectively."
Fang Chen's fingers were shaking.
Once a person falls into a coma, they cannot return on their own. If they cannot return and do not receive treatment, the result is nothing more than death.
He didn't expect to see the other person kill someone.
Even though he expected that there would be friction between the players here, even though he had seen with his own eyes how Lu Nan had plotted against Cheng Wuye and nearly killed him at the hands of Xu Zhukong, even though he knew that asking for mercy on his behalf at this time would be a generous gesture, even though...
But he never thought he would see the other person kill someone.
And it seems that he does it without any psychological pressure.
"You are eighteen years old this year, right?" Cheng Wuye said with a smile, "The truest truth I believe in is to root out the weeds."
Fang Chen's face turned completely pale and he disappeared into the open space.
Cheng Wuye turned around and looked at the person next to him: "Shi Yu."
Shi Yu raised his eyes calmly.
After staying in the divine realm for a long time, even the most simple-minded person will develop some vision.
But from beginning to end, Shi Yu just watched everything happen calmly, neither speaking out to stop it nor saying anything to comfort him, with the indifference in his eyes reaching the extreme.
Cheng Wuye had never seen anyone like him before. The only thing he could tell from him was that he didn't care about anything. "What's your name?"
There was no response.
"Yu in 'so'? Yu in 'yizhuo'? Yu in 'yuyu'?"
When he said the last sentence, Shi Yu looked at him silently.
"I'll remember that." Cheng Wuye smiled and disappeared into the open space.
[Why does the Sixth Boss's words sound like they are about to challenge each other to a fight? ]
[Can you think of something better? Why do you have to have a fight? Can't it be that the Sixth Boss has taken a fancy to Shi Meiren and wants to develop a relationship with her? ]
[I said earlier that we should just be teammates. Why does it sound so ambiguous? 】
【Master, why hasn’t he left yet? 】
At this moment, the system sound suddenly sounded again:
[Participating players are in place, and the single-player branch is open. 】
[Branch line?!]
[When did the branch quest start? The mystery has been solved and the ghosts have been dealt with. Is there anything else that is not solved? ]
[Although, you may not remember Guan Yueyue’s younger brother…]
【Guan Road? ? 】
A figure walked up from the end of the mountain path. He was very short and had two red spots on his face.
Guan Yueyue suddenly looked up and looked at the small figure approaching.
Guan Lu stopped in front of Guan Yueyue, opened his round deer eyes that were exactly the same as hers, and smiled sweetly: "Sister."
At that moment, even the sound of the wind seemed to have stopped.
Guan Yueyue leaned over and picked up the boy in front of her, suddenly turned around and ran towards the cliff, then jumped down!
【Why did she jump? 】
[I thought they would abandon the donkey as usual, but I was worried for nothing? ? ]
[What did Shi Yu want to see when he went to the Taoist priest's side? ]
【Why did he take a gourd? 】
[Going down the mountain now? ]
After walking up the mountain for half a day after falling off the cliff, Shi Yu returned along the original route and walked towards the bottom of the cliff.
Fortunately, the game probably knew that it would be boring to waste half a day like this. Along the way, Shi Yu clearly felt that the way down the mountain was several times faster than going up the mountain. He even returned to the bottom of the cliff before it was completely dark.
There was a pile of rubble at the foot of the cliff, and in the middle of a grass pile not far away, the body with its spine removed was still lying there.
A snow-white deer with two horns on its head knelt in front of the corpse, licking the blood on the corpse bit by bit.
"Guan Yueyue."
The white deer suddenly turned around, alert all over.
Shi Yu placed the gourd in his hand half a meter away from its feet: "Master Lingshan prepared this for Xu Zhukong's resurrection."
Bai Lu stood there in a daze: "Why do you want to..."
Shi Yu: "Are you a boy?"
The rest of its words died in its throat.
Shi Yu stood up: "Antlers are a characteristic of male deer."
Bai Lu followed his movements with his eyes, and after a long while he uttered two words: "No."
"Is it because as a divine spirit, you can possess the characteristics of a biological subject at the same time?" Shi Yu looked at the vigilance in its eyes, "You transformed into Guan Yueyue, and at the same time derived Guan Lu?"
"No one in the village ever thought I was a god before."
Bai Lu stood beside the corpse and lowered his voice: "Do you think if I were not the mountain god, would he still want me dead?"
"meeting."
"Why?"
Shi Yu was silent for a moment: "You know very well that he wants you dead not because you are a god, but because you are the White Deer."
During the time when everyone kept away from him, did Guan Yueyue never think of revealing his identity as the guardian angel?
Since Guan Yueyue was able to land here safely after jumping off the cliff just now, then couldn’t it have landed safely when it was pushed off the cliff?
If the villagers really killed her out of fear, then her name should have been sealed as a taboo. Why is it that now everyone is talking about it without any fear or avoidance?
"When I asked you to save me, I was already on the verge of death, but you woke up in the end, but your whole body was covered in blood. I wondered why, until I saw your body, the wounds on it hadn't even clotted yet."
Shi Yu looked at it and said, "You saved me with your own blood, right?"
"You said that after you died, the owner of the house took your body back. But the body lying here now has an empty spinal cord, an empty chest cavity, and even the large arteries and veins."
"Your true form is a white deer. Even if you were pushed down, it shouldn't be difficult for you to land smoothly like you just jumped down, but you still died. Did Xu Zhukong give you drugs when he went to look for you? To make you fall for it, it is possible that Taoist Lingshan had something in the drug, so you fell to your death."
Shi Yu said, "Deer skin replenishes qi and heals sores, deer blood nourishes blood and improves essence, deer bones remove dampness and relieve pain, and deer hearts nourish qi and calm the mind. Ordinary deer are full of treasures, and since you are a divine incarnation, your flesh and blood are definitely not ordinary. Humans can even revive the dead with your flesh and bones, so if you sell them, few people would be tempted by the wealth you'd get."
"The spine corresponds to the deer bones, so they were removed; the heart corresponds to the deer heart, so it was cut open; the blood corresponds to the deer blood, so it was drained. It's too difficult to tear off all the skin, so we only moved the most convenient face."
"Your body can still remain active after such a long time of death, and the stripped parts should be able to regenerate."
Just like Prometheus.
A tear suddenly fell on the dusty gravel.
Shi Yu looked at its tears and said: "The reason your body is here now must be because of Guan Lu."
Just like the villagers never mentioned Guan Yueyue's parents in their previous conversations, because they didn't exist at all; but they didn't mention Guan Yueyue's younger brother either. The most likely possibility is that Guan Lu also doesn't exist, but is a part of Guan Yueyue, the god who guards the village, that was separated after his death.
After all, they both had round deer eyes, were pale and thin, had dimples when they smiled, and they happened to be a man and a woman.
The wind in the valley dried the white deer's eyes, and the small gourd among the gravel was blown down, rolling twice on the ground.
Shi Yu said: "Remember to pick up the gourd."
The white deer used its hoof to stop the rolling gourd: "Why did you give it to me?"
"Don't you want to be resurrected too?" Shi Yu raised his hand and grabbed the hair that was blown in front of his eyes by the wind, and felt the dried blood at the end of his hair. "You have already absorbed the heart of a person who was born with a natural spiritual orifice. Now you have the liquid medicine for drawing the formation. As for the damage to your body, you have the ability to regenerate. If you want to recover completely, you should be able to do it. All the conditions are met."
Bai Lu whispered, "Aren't you coming over?"
Shi Yu shook his head: "I don't like the taste of medicine."
The stopper of the gourd was bitten open, and the thick liquid left dark marks on the corpse. The little Guan Lu stood beside the corpse, suddenly turned around, took a deep look at Shi Yu in the distance, and then jumped into the broken body.
The damage to the body begins to repair itself.
When it was completely dark and the moon was hanging high in the sky, the silent system sound sounded again:
[The single-player branch has been completed. Please choose to leave on your own]
Guan Yueyue opened her eyes, and her first reaction was to call him: "Why are you helping me?"
Shi Yu stopped and asked: "What do you want to do in the future?"
Guan Yueyue didn't think twice: "I want to go back to the mountains."
Back to that deep, familiar forest where animals clamor and quarrel, and the rocks never change.
Shi Yu: "I think you got what you wanted, isn't that good?"
Guan Yueyue was stunned.
Shi Yu walked out of the gravel beach and never looked back.
Behind him, the world froze at the moment he disappeared and quietly fell apart.
