The man in black took a deep breath.

He said calmly, "You didn't ask me here to taunt me, did you?"

Shen Xingyue smiled blandly, "My name is Shen Xingyue, I used to have another name, called Shen Fangting."

The man in black said, "You were her all along?"

"I'm supposed to be her, and I have many other names, you want to know?"

When he finished, he winked at him playfully.

The man in black shook his head.

"Don't want to know, just tell me what I should call you, Shen Xing Yue or Shen Fang Ting?"

"Call me Shen Xingyue, this life will be the end of the calamity and my lucky life, I met him, fell in love with him, and was able to be with him for the rest of my life."

"It was his honor."

"And an honor."

"Can you tell me your secret?"

"I can, but I can't tell you all of it; I don't mean to keep it from you, but the time is not ripe, and there are some things that can only be told at the right time."

"Okay, then tell me what I can say right now!"

"You haven't guessed wrong, I'm Shen Fontaine, always have been, and you can say I've lived a long time, but in reality, I've only had twenty-five years in each of my lives."

"Is it because of that curse?"

"Yes, my father loved me so much that he wanted to change my life against the odds, so he devised a formation that would allow me to possess the soul of the next generation after one period of my life was over."

"This next generation, they must all be mainline women, right?"

"Yes, they are all my doubles, women of the main lineage of the Shen family, who were born to provide me with a twenty-five year lifespan."

The black-robed man frowned, clearly not agreeing with what Shen Tianju had done.

In his opinion, this move was inhumane and very cruel.

Your daughter's life has been extended, and those newborns have been deprived of the opportunity to grow, which is no different from increasing life expectancy against the will of heaven, or even more excessive.

"Do you think that my father's behavior is cruel?" Shen Xingyue asked.

The man in black nodded.

Shen Xingyue laughed, "Life and death are reckless, I'm just reincarnating with my memories, how can you say my father is cruel?"

"I can't say, I just think that it's questionable to do that."

"What makes you think that?"

The man in black shook his head, "Let's not talk about this topic, right or wrong, the fact is already like this, it's pointless to pursue it, it's better to look to the future!"

"No, I have to be clear with you, this matter is very important, if you don't agree with my birth, there will be a disconnect in your heart, and over time, it will affect your view of me, and it will affect our next cooperation."

"Don't worry, I won't have an opinion about your birth, whether you are Shen Xingyue or Shen Fangting, it doesn't matter to me."

Shen Xingyue did not comment on this, calmly explaining, "Do you think that I'm taking the clan's blessed life by force."

"Isn't it?"

"There is a difference, I only reincarnated with the help of a new life, it was a life form without a soul, just a physical body, it was I who gave her a soul and made her whole."

"She's you?"

"Yeah, she's me!"

"Then have you ever considered that without the spell, she might have been given other souls, and would have grown into a full life form as well, and that, in all likelihood, her lifespan would have exceeded twenty-five years?"

Shen Xingyue didn't say anything.

The man in black said lightly, "Human nature is selfish, so I can understand what your father did, but I won't agree with this behavior, but well, right or wrong doesn't matter, our next cooperation is the most important thing."

"Maybe someday I'll want to continue this jutsu, will you help me?"

"No, life and death have their own destiny, wealth and fortune, reincarnation has its own rules, we can find ways to prolong our lives, but don't always think about taking blessings to change our lives."

"I just want to be married to him for a long time and become a divine partner for eternity."

"Miss Shen, this matter must not be done, is it not retribution for your Shen Family's main vein to wither away, if you want to live forever, you can choose a better way, you don't have to use your clan's sacrifices as the price."

Shen Xingyue was silent for a while and gently nodded.

"You're right, our Shen family has already paid the price, and if my mother hadn't saved me, I would have died completely a few months ago."

"Very true, that said, there is no point in living too long, every day is always the same three things, eat, sleep, enjoyment, after a long time, don't you think it's annoying?"

"I only have twenty-five years of each life to live, so how could I be bored, and if you are, why did you seek my cooperation?"

The man in black said with some embarrassment, "Yes, who would live idly for a long time, Miss Shen, if we can succeed, we can live as long as we want, we don't even need to think about that anymore."

Shen Xingyue smiled sweetly, nodded her head and said, "You're right, it's me who's shallow."

The man in black asked, "Did you make Hope reclaim her master?"

Shen Xingyue admitted, "Pretty much, how are we matching up?"

"Has that thing become a spirit, it can actually act."

"Don't underestimate it, it can do everything but talk, its IQ is no less than yours or mine."

"Terrific, almost fooled me, you deliberately let it touch Lin Wan, could it be that you have some intentions?"

Shen Xing Yue disdainfully said, "Don't think nonsense, if I wanted to harm her, she would have died countless times earlier, Xiaoyuan was just kissing ass, she didn't want to harm her."

"Ass-kissing?"

"Yes, it's ass-kissing, Hope is so smart, she knows who is the highest-ranking person in the family, and she's trying to please Wanda by purposely ass-kissing her."

"Boy, this thing has really become a spirit, no wonder!"

"It is an ancient divine beast with heavenly abilities, all the marvelous formations of our Shen family were taught by it to our old ancestor, including the spell that prolonged my life, which it also helped my father accomplish."

The black-clothed man's jaw dropped as he stared blankly at Shen Xingyue.

The latter whispered, "Scared!"

The man in black muttered, "Is everything you say true?"

"Do I have to lie to you?"

"Why does it want to help the Shen family?"

"Because the ancestor once helped it to cross the tribulation, although it was an unintentional act, but, it felt the great kindness of the ancestor, so, it willingly helped the Shen Family, which is now the Shen Family."

"Can you tell me that story for me, and how your ancestors helped it?"

"It can be, Hope cultivated for countless years, after crossing the thunder tribulation, changed into a human being, and happened to run into the Old Ancestor, Hope asked him, what do I look like to you?"

"What did your old man say?"

"My old man says you look like the Taoist Immortal!"

"And then what?"

"Hope has achieved righteousness, and since then, she has made good karma with the Shen family."

"It's not right, if it's become righteous, why does it still have the body of a beast and can't speak."

"It blames itself for this; it was so happy that it changed into its original form and barked loudly at the sky, and then it couldn't change back."

The man in black froze, then laughed so hard that tears came to his eyes.

Shen Xingyue complained, "Have some compassion, will you, Little Hope is so pitiful and you're still mocking it."

"This unlucky fellow got carried away and confused God into thinking he liked the dog look."

Although Shen Xing Yue did not laugh, she agreed with him, thinking that this must be the reason why Xiao Yuan could no longer change into a human being.

"Oops!" The man in black suddenly thought of something and slapped his hand vigorously.

Shen Xingyue was startled by him and quickly asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"I've also encountered that kind of thing, but unfortunately, I'm not as resourceful as your family's old ancestor, and it's too much of a pity that I missed an opportunity to lose a piece of good karma for nothing."

"When did this happen?"

"When I went to school, alas, I was foolish!"

"Going to school, why I don't know."

"Because I didn't take it seriously, I didn't tell you afterwards."

"Tell me, what was the situation?"

"Okay, do you remember Wen Yuan, our classmate, the kid who always liked to look at you colorfully."

Shen Xingyue laughed, "Remember, his nose-whiskers are long and unforgettable."

"Yes, that's him, once he got drunk and asked me if he looked like a human being."

"What did you say."

"I said he looks like a shithead!"

Shen Xingyue covered her mouth and laughed lightly.

Laughing for a while, he chided, "Don't talk nonsense, he is originally a human being, not cultivated into a spirit, you are scolding, not enlightenment."

"I think that he should just be cultivated, maybe delayed by me."

"Nonsense, if you say he's cultivated, what kind of animal is he?"

"Shithead!"

Miss Shen couldn't hold it in any longer and let out a loud laugh, the man in black accompanied her.

After laughing for a while, the man in black asked, "Sooi, you still won't give me a chance?"

Shen Xingyue's expression became serious as she replied faintly, "If I were willing, I would have given you the opportunity twenty-five years ago."

"I really want to meet him for a while, to see what he is and why he has won your heart."

"He and I are destined to be together, when I met him, I knew that I had reincarnated for a lifetime just to wait for him, and that he would be the end of my calamity and my lifelong companion."

Saying this, looking at him meaningfully, he said slowly, "Isn't it inappropriate for you to be saying such things now."

"I'm just not convinced."

"Don't forget our agreement, we only talk about cooperation and nothing else, and you don't go looking for him, or else, don't blame me for not being polite."

The man in black nodded.

"Don't worry, I know the score, now tell me, what do I need to do next?"

"The secret of the Bone Knife will be told to Lin Wan by Xiao Yuan, through her mouth, it will also achieve our purpose, during this period of time, you don't need to act for the time being."

"That's what you're doing when you put Hope in contact with her, isn't it?"

"You're wrong, Hope likes her and is willing to go out with her, it's a voluntary act, not at my behest."

Shen Xingyue's answer surprised the man in black, and he looked at her in disbelief.

"Can I ask you a question?" The man in black said.

"Okay, you ask!"

"Are you Hope's owner?"
