Chapter 20 #Three years of drought, and even kings would perform sacrifices to pray for rain Did Xie Zhuo… just kiss me? I stood there frozen in shock. He was so close, I couldn’t even see him clearly anymore. In the blur before my eyes, his breath filled the space between our lips and teeth, inside and out—it was all his scent. The brush of his hair, the pressure of his fingertips, the soft sweep of his robes—everything was cool to the touch, yet somehow burned with heat. But after that brief…- 179.9 K • Completed
- Chapter 21 #Our relationship can’t just end like this I rushed frantically toward the cave in the Snow Bamboo Forest. Before I even got there, I spotted Xie Xuanqing standing at the cave entrance from afar. He really hadn’t left! He held the flute made of snow bamboo in his hand—he had come back for it… I couldn’t quite tell what I was feeling at that moment, and didn’t have time to sort it out. I just saw Xie Xuanqing’s serious face as he prepared to ride the wind toward the…

- Chapter 22 #Xie Zhuo, you real son of a bitch. My dagger was snatched away by Xie Zhuo—effortlessly, like it was nothing. But he was clearly furious. He stared daggers at me and called my name through gritted teeth: “Fu! Jiu! Xia!” I heard him loud and clear. I knew that right now, not only could he not lay a hand on me, he actually had to protect me. And the moment I handed my life over entirely to Xie Zhuo, I realized—I trusted him more than I trusted myself. So my every move became calm…

- Chapter 23 #Can’t he read? Can’t he write? The winter months in Kunlun are icy and snowy. I didn’t see Xie Zhuo here, so I figured—he must’ve exited the time stream before me. Maybe he landed at a different point in time. What I need to do now is figure out exactly what time it is. Xie Zhuo and I originally met on the twelfth of the second lunar month, in the dead of winter. If I’m right, this time he’s come back… intending to stop that meeting from ever happening. After all— The…

- Chapter 24 #Who Says We Can’t Return to Our Youth? The day I reconnected with Xiaxia, I racked my brain trying to reconstruct every detail of my reunion with Xie Zhuo back then. I told her which grove to bring her bamboo basket to tomorrow to hunt for bamboo shoots. I also told her she’d run into a bloodied Xie Xuanqing there, and then a flash of silver light would attack them. At that moment, Xie Xuanqing would shield her. I instructed Xiaxia to go along with his act—nestle in his arms, and once…

- Chapter 25 #Why are you so badly injured? I hurried toward Xie Xuanqing’s location, Yin-Yang Fish in hand—I still needed to monitor Xiaxia’s condition at all times. If she woke up, I might still have a chance to swap places with her. After all, the most dangerous part of me pretending to be Xiaxia right now was— I carried Xie Zhuo’s blood. Xie Zhuo’s cultivation technique far surpassed mine, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t completely mask it. Last time, Xie Xuanqing said that…

- Chapter 26 #You’re taking revenge on me. Of course I couldn’t bring myself to ask. For a married couple to reach the point of separation… isn’t it because all the warmth and passion have been exhausted? Besides, Xie Zhuo had once threatened to kill me with such certainty. This request of his was truly baffling. So I looked at him in silence, just as he usually looked at me—quiet and unreadable. He stared at me for a long time before finally speaking. “Fu Jiuxia, are you playing a…

- Chapter 27 #Once You're Healed, I'll Smile at You Every Day For hundreds of years after that, I remained wary of the world outside Kunlun—mostly because of the terrible impression I got on my very first venture beyond its borders. The malevolent being took me to its lair—somewhere we’d sent countless scouts to find, but had never succeeded. It was a small valley two hundred li from Kunlun. Not a single blade of grass grew there. The place was so overrun by malevolence that the air itself was…

- Chapter 28 #Kill him, once and for all! After telling that story from four hundred years ago, I sat silently outside the cave in the snowy bamboo forest, letting the frigid February wind of Kunlun blow against me. On the other end, Xiaxia was also quiet for a long moment. Only after a while did she sigh and say: “I want to ask you—what does it feel like, to have someone who used to protect you shout that they want to kill you?” Good question… I pondered it for a bit, and honestly, it kind of…

- Chapter 29 #Don’t Be a Soldier Anymore! Go Back and Farm While You Still Can! In the end, I still abided by Kunlun’s and the cultivation world’s rules—I would not kill someone who slays evil spirits and monsters. Xie Zhuo should be grateful I stripped his clothes and saw all his injuries. Otherwise, by this time next year, the grass on his grave would be taller than Mengmeng! I rushed out of my immortal abode in a frenzy, heading straight for the garrison camp—I had to find Wu Cheng. But I…
