Chapter 15 #If You’re Happy, Don’t Learn Too Much I walked up to Xie Xuanqing. Because Xie Zhuo had just been nearby, Xie Xuanqing’s expression wasn’t looking too good right now. He was clutching his chest and didn’t speak for a moment. Though I had been ruthless enough toward Xie Zhuo just now, when it came to Xie Xuanqing… I felt a bit guilty and sorry. After all, this man had never done anything wrong between us. I helped steady Xie Xuanqing, and he immediately grabbed my wrist in…- 178.7 K • Completed
- Chapter 14 #Then I’m Not Afraid of You Either I’m not kind enough to care about a demon’s feelings. Taking advantage of his silence, I broke free from his control, turned, and slashed with my sword—aiming straight for the vulnerable spot at his throat! But the blade imbued with celestial energy struck as if it had hit an unbreakable stone. With a loud clang, the backlash force split my grip open, blood splattered, and the celestial sword in my hand was flung away. In the next instant, however,…

- Chapter 13 #If I’m having a bad day, then no one gets to have a good one! When I walked out of the cave, I tapped twice on my earlobe. A flash of warmth bloomed in my ear, and then—nothing out of the ordinary. “See it?” I asked Xie Zhuo on the other end. I knew he must be seeing exactly what my eyes were seeing. A soft “Mm” came from his side. I sneered and curled my lips. “Then watch carefully.” When it comes to bullying people, you think I’m worse than you? I strode into the…

- Chapter 12 #She Is Me Today, once again, I didn’t make it back. I lazily lifted my eyelids. “I went to find Xie Xuanqing.” Facing the equally lifeless Xie Zhuo sitting across from me, I said, “He couldn’t tell a story, so I handed him a book and asked him to read from it…” Xie Zhuo glanced at me, his expression just as lazy and emotionless. I told him how it ended: “He read me to sleep.” He finally closed his eyes and sighed. “How about we just give up?” After trying and…

- Chapter 11 #Off Track Again Once more, Xie Zhuo and I sat across from each other by candlelight, limp as two dead fish slumped in our chairs. Whatever Xia Xia had taken him to do today, judging by his expression, I couldn’t even be bothered to ask. “This can’t go on,” I sat up straight, rallying for who knows the how many-th time. But Xie Zhuo didn’t. He leaned back in his chair, dazed, lost in thought. I knocked on a clear spot on his desk, which was cluttered with trinkets. “Pull…

- Chapter 10 #Because He Couldn’t Bear To "Xie Xuanqing?" Xia Xia called his name, bouncing over. I stared at the receding figure of Xie Zhuo on the slope. After a brief daze, irritation surged in me again. What the hell! Dragged me out of bed at the crack of dawn to disturb Xie Xuanqing’s sleep, while he himself slept in like a pig and missed the perfect window to stop Xia Xia. Useless teammate! Xie Zhuo turned his head slightly, casting a glance at me. I quickly covered my mouth, worried that he…

- Chapter 9 #Eight Streets My mission ended in failure before it even began—thanks to that wave of tricks from Xie Xuanqing, I was left a bit out of sorts. I was so dazed on my way back that I couldn’t even find the entrance to Xie Zhuo’s barrier. Wandering aimlessly in the snowy bamboo forest, I felt like I was trapped in a maze. But to my surprise, I soon ran into Xie Zhuo—who looked just as disoriented as I was. It seemed he was also searching for the entrance to the barrier. We bumped into…

- Chapter 8 #This motherf***er is a relationship scammer! Early in the morning, Xie Zhuo and I walked out of the Clear Bamboo Courtyard. I transformed myself to look exactly as I had five hundred years ago, down to the clothes and hairstyle. Xie Zhuo made some adjustments too—but honestly, he hadn’t changed much in five centuries. Still the same old black outfit, barely needing any tweaks. “Remember, I’ll be operating in that shabby little cave today. I swear I won’t let Xie Xuanqing wander…
