I woke up to find myself as the villain's older sister.

Chapter 399 Past Events

"Later, he would come to visit every few months, bringing some treasures to store. I've told you the whole story, Rou'er." Shen Li finished speaking and looked at Yun Qingrou with affection. "Have you suffered these years? I didn't realize you've grown up so much..."

As Shen Li gazed at Yun Qingrou's features, her gaze unconsciously drifted past her to another person: "You and your father look very alike..."

Yun Qingrou felt a strange sensation in her heart towards her father, whom she had never met, but it didn't stir any particular emotion within her. She opened her mouth and asked, "Do you... love him very much?"

Speaking of Dawn, Shen Li's eyes softened even more. "Of course, Rou'er, you are the continuation of our love, the proof of our past mutual support. You must live well, carrying the share of your father and mother... live well."

Yun Qingrou's eyes were filled with complicated emotions, and for a moment she didn't know what to say: "Mother..."

Shen Li just smiled and said, "Child, I know that you must have been troubled by inner demons all these years. These inner demons are something that every demon god's bloodline must have. The solution is not to try to suppress them. You will coexist and perish together. No matter who disappears, the other one, whether it is the inner demon or you, will also disappear."

The inner demon is also a part of yourself. The inner demon of the demon race is different from that of ordinary people. Most of the bloodline power is in it. Only when you are completely and highly integrated can you possess the true power of the bloodline.

At that time, it will willingly dedicate itself and completely become a part of you.

But the prerequisite is to conquer it, to show it that you are the one who truly controls the body.

"Is that so..." Yun Qingrou murmured. No wonder she didn't suppress it before. When she tried to integrate that power with her spiritual power, her body felt much lighter. It turned out that her previous approach was not wrong.

As the three were lost in their own thoughts, none of them noticed that Shen Li's soul was gradually fading.

"Mother!" Yun Qingrou suddenly felt a pang in her heart. As if sensing something, she looked up and saw Shen Li's increasingly ethereal expression. For a moment, she panicked and asked, "You... what's wrong with you?"

Shen Li just smiled and said, "For so many years, I have been dragging a wisp of my soul here, hoping that one day I could see you. I didn't expect that God would still favor me. I am very happy and blessed that you have come. My child is very outstanding."

It's just a pity... I'm a bad mother. I missed your most precious years of growth, and I've missed the rest of your life. I'm just... so tired..."

Shen Li's soul gradually became transparent, and at this moment, her soul returned to its appearance before life. The woman's face was serene and beautiful, with a hint of coquettishness between her brows. She smiled faintly at Yun Qingrou, her voice weak, "Rou'er... I think... I saw... your father..."

I don't think I've told you yet...

His name...

Call it dawn.

"Mother!!"

The fragments of the soul suddenly shattered before the three of them, turning into countless tiny stars that drifted to their fingertips.

“Mother…” Yun Qingrou stared blankly as the fragment of soul at her fingertips gradually dimmed, and her eyes also dimmed.

Yun Qingyi and Xie Xiyan did not disturb her, giving Yun Qingrou enough time and space, and quietly withdrew from the forbidden pavilion.

They knew that during this time, Yun Qingrou just wanted to spend a little more time with her mother.

Inside the forbidden pavilion, Yun Qingrou watched as the last fragment of her soul vanished. She chuckled softly, a desolate laugh, "Why... I haven't even had a chance to truly experience you..."

I haven't even properly looked at you yet...
