Only the sound of the wind was heard. A black long sword flickered with dazzling light like a shooting star, breaking through everything as it flew towards Liu Shuang's forehead!
She dodged her head to the side, narrowly avoiding the sword as it sliced through her hair, cutting off a few strands of green hair by her cheek. The sword plunged straight into the wall, penetrating more than three inches deep, a testament to the depth of the wielder's skills.
That black jade sword was none other than Yinghuo!
Shen Qiqi's eyes widened in surprise, "Senior sister!"
On the contrary, Liu Shuang's expression gradually turned serious. She coldly shouted, "There's no need for you to hide. Why not come out and fight?"
The sound of fabric rubbing against each other came from the shadows by the window, and after a moment, a woman dressed in black slowly walked out.
She looked exactly like Liu Shuang, with fair skin, a delicate nose, a slender figure, and long hair tied up with a ribbon and loosely draped over her shoulders. Her red eyes glowed strangely in the darkness.
Shen Qiqi looked at her face, then at Liu Shuang beside her, who was almost identical in appearance. Her expression was horrified.
How am I supposed to tell them apart!
Are you two playing a matching game here?!
The woman in black frowned slightly when she saw Liu Shuang beside her, but her cold expression softened when she saw Shen Qiqi.
She called out softly, "Junior sister."
Shen Qiqi was overjoyed and danced with excitement, "Confirmed with my own eyes, it's me!"
"I'm here!" She wanted to get up from the bed, but remembered the sinister Demon Lord sitting next to her, causing her to hesitate.
Beside her, Liu Shuang's gaze was heavy as she squinted her eyes and asked, "Do you want to go find her?"
Shen Qiqi blinked her eyes and looked at Liu Shuang's pale and bloodless face, feeling a bit reluctant.
Although she didn't know what had happened, this person was wearing the appearance of Liu Shuang, dressed and spoke in a very similar way, and even her cultivation couldn't be seen through. She had a strong presence that was almost impossible to ignore and couldn't be left alone.
At this moment, the black-clothed woman beckoned to Yinghuo and looked at her, whispering, "Come here."
Shen Qiqi: "..."
Are you trying to kill me?
"You are forcing me to die!"
"If she moves now, she is likely to be snapped by another Liu Shuang!"
As Liu Shuang's dangerous gaze intensified, Shen Qiqi shrank back and tried to change the subject: "Wait, aren't any of you curious? Why are there two Senior sisters here?"
Liu Shuang in black shook her head. "I don't know. After returning from your hometown earlier, I woke up and found myself in the demon realm." She hesitated for a moment and continued, "This demon realm seems to be different from before."
Shen Qiqi said, "Indeed, even Situ Yun didn't recognize me just now. Senior sister, do you feel that there is anything different?"
Liu Shuang in black looked serious. "I feel that it is more like...the demon realm of the previous life."
Shen Qiqi was shocked when she heard this. "What?! Did I open the wrong document before I traveled through time?!"
Suddenly, a cold sneer came from beside them. "How long are you going to babble nonsense?"
Liu Shuang couldn't understand the bird language that the two were speaking, and they acted as if she didn't exist, responding to each other fluently and with great understanding, as if she was the only one left out. This made her even more annoyed, with a surge of anger between her eyebrows and her expression becoming dull.
Shen Qiqi looked at her and suddenly felt a bit awkward.
She had just said that the other person was not a Senior sister, but now she was being contradicted by the female lead.
So, this seems to be the Senior sister from the previous life! The real pitiful one, who nobody loves and has thorns all over her body!
Thinking of this, her heart softened, and even her tone of voice became much gentler when she spoke: "I'm going to tell you something now, but you mustn't be afraid."
The "Liu Shuang" from the previous life said coldly, "Just say it."
Shen Qiqi cleared her throat and said seriously, "Senior sister and I are not from this world. We come from your next life."
'Liu Shuang' looked at her without answering, her gaze deep and heavy, lost in thought.
Black-clothed Liu Shuang reached out and rubbed Shen Qiqi's head, whispering, "Never mind, let's think about how to go back."
"That's true..." Shen Qiqi pondered, "How about we..."
"Go back?"
Suddenly, the silent "Liu Shuang" laughed and lifted her eyes, which were so dark they seemed to be able to wring out water.
"Since we're here, why rush to leave?"
As their eyes met, Liu Shuang sensed the hostility in her gaze and frowned.
"Well, um..." Shen Qiqi hesitated, unsure how to address her, and said, "Mandam Liu..."
At this, 'Liu Shuang' suddenly clenched her fist, her knuckles turning white, her voice tinged with a chilly tone. "You just called me Senior sister so intimately, and now I'm suddenly a madam?"
Shen Qiqi felt a sense of unease and subconsciously stepped back behind Liu Shuang.
Sure enough, the previous life's Senior sister's face grew even paler.
Sensing her skirt being pulled tightly, Liu Shuang's eyes showed a hint of a smile as she reached back and held Shen Qiqi's hand. She turned her head and whispered, "Don't be afraid."
Shen Qiqi inexplicably felt nervous and shrank her neck, looking over Liu Shuang's shoulder at "Liu Shuang".
She saw her sitting alone on the bed, her eyes lowered, and her dark hair covering half of her face. In the dim light, she gave off a lonely feeling.
She couldn't help but stammer, "Senior sister..."
Both of them looked up at Shen Qiqi at the same time.
Shen Qiqi: "..."
In theory, the Senior sister from the previous life would have wanted to tear "Shen Qiqi" to pieces. But instead of strangling Shen Qiqi, "Liu Shuang" let her go, which made Shen Qiqi feel even more unable to leave her alone.
She thought to herself, "Is it really okay if we just leave "Liu Shuang" alone in this cold world?"
"Liu Shuang" looked at the intertwined hands of the two, suddenly raised her lips, and slowly said, "Junior sister, you said just now that you wanted to marry me."
Shen Qiqi: !!!
Help! She suddenly felt like she was being forced to cheat!
Liu Shuang paused, turned her head and asked, "... Did she really mean it?"
Shen Qiqi leaned back tactically, cautiously saying, "Senior sister, please let me explain. I mistook her for you just now..."
"Liu Shuang" continued, "You know as well as I do, she and I are the same person. So, who you say it to doesn't really matter."
Liu Shuang held Shen Qiqi tightly, her voice cold, "You already know whether there's a difference or not."
Tension was high, and Shen Qiqi's heart was pounding like a drum. She felt like the two of them were about to start fighting at any moment. "Wait, wait, you two need to calm down..."
Looking at her, "Liu Shuang" trembled her long eyelashes and whispered, "So, you want to choose her?"
Shen Qiqi opened her mouth but couldn't explain herself.
In front of her, Liu Shuang sneered, "You're just lying to yourself."
Shen Qiqi was at a loss for words. She felt like she was in a battlefield, about to be sent to the crematorium.
She gave up and threw up her hands, "Why don't you two just fight it out? After all, as Lu Xun said, beautiful women only belong to the strong. Please!"
