[Book Transmigration + A battered, sickly body + Delusional self-conquest + Sweet romance in reverse]
Yun Xunning transmigrated into a book as the villainous master, saddled with a sickly body.
System: [Make your demonic-bone disciple Cang Jian “kill his master to prove his cultivation,” and you'll get a ten-billion bonus and be able to retire!]
To clock out early, Yun Xunning did every wicked thing she could think of:
She kicked Cang Jian into an abyss, only for the frigid pool at the bottom to happen to suppress his demonic energy when it ran wild.
She snatched and swallowed the poisonous pill that was Cang Jian's opportunity, then immediately coughed up blood. Cang Jian, eyes red, became convinced his master had taken the disaster upon herself in his place.
She shattered Cang Jian's useless sword bones with one palm, but accidentally helped him break his shackles and awaken peerless demonic bones.
Watching her disciple's gaze grow increasingly “fierce and obsessive,” Yun Xunning was delighted. Good, it won't be long before he kills me to prove his cultivation!
Then the world-ending tribulation arrived, and the Heavenly Dao issued its decree:
[Demonic bones cannot be allowed to exist in this world. Only by killing the person he cares about most, his master, and cultivating the Heartless Dao can he become a god!]
Yun Xunning closed her eyes in delight, waiting for a sword through the heart.
But Cang Jian pulled her into his arms, raised his sword, and sent his frenzied demonic energy crashing into the thunderbolts of the heavens:
“She used her frail body to shield me from every open attack and hidden threat, and bore the world's insults for my sake. And you, you thieving old Heaven, would force me to kill her?”
“If becoming a god means abandoning all feeling, then today I'll destroy the Heavenly Dao!”
Yun Xunning, who had been waiting impatiently to clock out, was dumbfounded. “...Wait, wasn't he supposed to kill his master to prove his cultivation?”
