My Nemesis Is an Insane Immortal Venerable Who Locks Me in His Arms and Cherishes Me

[A seemingly aloof, actually deranged, gloomy and obsessive top VS. a seemingly easygoing, actually fragile and emotionally impaired bottom]

Xie Zhixuan and Yan Lingbai grew up together and cultivated side by side. He had no idea why Yan Lingbai had grown tired of him.

Their vows of eternal love became a joke. Yan Lingbai was surrounded by friends, and Xie Zhixuan could neither fit in nor get close to them.

Day after day, Xie Zhixuan wondered what he had done wrong, constantly questioning himself. Three years passed, and he could find no release.

When he learned that Yan Lingbai was an evil seed of the You clan, the corners of Xie Zhixuan's lips curled up.

“Good. They're all afraid of you. Apart from me, I'll be the only one by your side...”

But all he got in return was Yan Lingbai avoiding him like the plague, even refusing to see him no matter how hard he searched for him.

People said Xie Zhixuan was the coldest of men. Only he knew that the ceaseless flames of longing and resentment had burned him into a madman.

More than a hundred years later, they finally met again. Xie Zhixuan ran his sword through Yan Lingbai's heart. Feeling the other's warmth slowly fade in his arms, he finally smiled.

With blood on his fingertips, he slowly savored it on his tongue. For the first time, he tasted supreme happiness.

Three hundred years ago, Xie Zhixuan slew the demon prince Yan Lingbai with his sword, swept through the Demon Realm, and became the foremost figure of the immortal path. Three hundred years later, Yan Lingbai possessed another body and was reborn, while his old nemesis had become a good-for-nothing unable to use spiritual power.

Yan Lingbai planned to keep his distance at first, then kill him and avenge his humiliation once his cultivation was restored. Instead, Xie Zhixuan forcibly kept him by his side.

Yan Lingbai: “No big deal~ I'll just bide my time. I suggest you sleep with one eye open.”

But then he suddenly discovered that, under his nemesis's unintentional touch, he could use spiritual power again?

One touch restored a moment's worth of spiritual power, two touches let him strike twice, and three gave him a short combo...

Later, things started getting more and more out of hand...
