Reasons swirled in his mind,
ultimately transforming into the courage to act.
But just then—
Su Ji's face, twisted in pain, slowly opened its eyes.
Man and fox locked gazes.
Within the molten cavern, the air seemed to freeze.
Only the distant "glug" of bursting lava bubbles pierced the silence with unnatural clarity.
Su Jiu stiffened completely, frozen mid-lean, her mind blank.
Her clear fox eyes flickered first with confusion, then drowned in a tidal wave of shame.
Wait—
Su Ji?
Even deceiving his own fox?
What about the promised inner demon?
How are you awake already?
Su Ji was equally baffled.
What kind of scenario was this?
Su Jiu was the noble one, upright and unflinching.
Su Ji was the rogue, always scheming behind veils.
In the end, Su Ji shattered the suffocating silence first.
Blinking, he adopted an utterly guileless tone:
"Junior Sister, don’t you think... it’s kinda hot in here? I mean—"
Boom!
Something detonated in Su Jiu’s mind.
She wanted to vanish into the ground—or better yet, dive straight into the nearby magma and end it all.
So humiliating.
What had she even been thinking earlier?!
Su Ji took in her "I-want-to-die" expression and connected it to the bizarre "inner demon tribulation" from his [Fate’s Glimpse]. Everything clicked.
He’d been fooled—by himself!
What inner demon tribulation?!
[Fate’s Glimpse] had shown no struggle against a demon.
Just him, eyes shut and frowning—because he was overheating and paranoid about sneak attacks!
Cause and effect, inverted!
Internally groaning, Su Ji kept his face neutral: "Junior Sister, you okay? Your face is red. Getting roasted alive too?"
Su Jiu’s pearly teeth clenched her lower lip hard enough to draw blood.
Right now, murdering Su Ji seemed very justified.
Su Ji read the overflowing bloodlust.
But what could he do?
He was the desperate one here!
Brain, brain—think of something!
No solution means death!
One breath later—
Su Ji’s panic vanished.
A smirk flickered, swiftly suppressed.
Then his expression shifted dramatically: "Wait—wrong."
"Who are you?"
"My kind, adorable Junior Sister Su Jiu would never do such things!"
Backflipping away, he put distance between them: "Tch."
"Inner demon?"
"You’ve finally come?"
——
Meanwhile, Su Jiu had mentally disconnected.
Not even bothering with reflexive denials.
She was done.
Brain, save me!
No solution means never showing my face again!
No!
Focus, Su Jiu!
Then she noticed Su Ji’s act.
"Inner demon?"
"You’ve finally come?"
Inspiration struck.
A brilliant plan to erase all embarrassment took shape.
Yes!
I’m Su Ji’s inner demon.
Exactly!
After all… he was the one who insisted a demon would come!
So everything he saw, heard, experienced—just illusions woven by the demon!
Whatever happened next? The demon’s doing. What did it have to do with her, Su Jiu?
With this epiphany, her heart—ready to leap from her throat—miraculously calmed.
She lifted her gaze. The clarity in her fox eyes dissolved, replaced by a smoldering allure Su Ji had never witnessed.
Her lips parted, voice dripping like honeyed poison:
"Senior Brother~"
Su Ji: ???
This feels off.
Actual demon invasion?
Can’t tell.
He genuinely couldn’t discern—demon or Su Jiu?
Then Su Jiu stepped forward, bare feet gliding over stone, each movement a seductive dance.
Her aura transformed with the first step.
No longer the aloof, tsundere junior sister—now a true soul-stealing fox spirit.
"You foresaw my arrival in destiny’s weave."
"Why… feign surprise?"
She stopped before him, a jade-like finger tracing his chest.
Her touch was ice against the cavern’s inferno.
"Tell me—should I devour your soul first… or drain that refined spiritual energy of yours?"
Just as Su Ji wavered—
No matter.
Intervention arrives.
[Dialogue with Su Jiu activated. Target aligns with aesthetic preferences. Romance options triggered. (Current affection: 71)]
[Option 1: "Junior Sister, you’re a terrible local demon." (Reward: Identity exposed. Su Jiu flees in shame. Temporary affection -40. Vanishes for 2.5 months before recovery.)]
[Option 2: "Hmph! A mere demon dares shake my Dao Heart? My will is steel! My resolve, a blade!" (Reward: Scenic views galore.)]
[Option 3: "A cultivator must confront their inner voice! This is clarity of mind! Seize the moment!" (Reward: Proceed with interrupted special plot. Completion grants +1 destiny draw chance.)]
[Permanent Option: "Women slow your sword. But Junior Sister? She’ll find you a better one." (Current kills: 3)]
Watching his junior sister play "inner demon," Su Ji inwardly rejoiced.
Acting?
He feared no rival in theatrics.
Su Ji adopted a wary expression, retreating a step:
"You—you’re not my Junior Sister!"
"Mmm~" Su Jiu’s laugh slithered out, laced with enchantment that prickled his Dao Heart.
"I am your Su Jiu, Senior Brother~"
(Art note: Give Junior Sister a visual. Hope next chapter conquers the demon.)

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
