After Eloping with the Aloof Immortal Venerable

[Coming next]

Ling Xi, who had spent ten years playing the docile junior sister, learned just before she died that she was nothing more than a medicinal ingredient for the real junior sister.

As her spiritual bones were carved out, the fellow disciples she had desperately tried to please looked on coldly. But it was Shen Guyun, the Immortal Venerable who had once called her “good at pretending and beyond redemption,” who saved her.

“Next life, don’t come to Wuwang Mountain.”

Those were the first words Shen Guyun said to her.

Reborn, Ling Xi woke up among a pile of beggars and sneered. She was going back to Wuwang Mountain anyway.

She stopped pretending, became sharp-tongued and ruthless, and seized every chance to grow stronger. Yet for some reason, the people who had never once smiled at her in her previous life began treating her with increasing sincerity.

Ling Xi didn’t care.

After turning Wuwang Mountain upside down, she defected.

She stormed into the forbidden grounds with a knife and spoke flippantly to the aloof, high-and-mighty Immortal Venerable. “What’s the point of guarding this shabby mountain? Come roam the world with me instead!”

She had meant to provoke him, but he actually nodded. Ling Xi was stunned.

After that, whenever she got hurt taking a chance on some treasure, someone protected her; when a heart demon tormented her, someone comforted her. And when the blood gu tormented her, a slender hand even pulled down a collar, offering her a vulnerable neck to bite.

Ling Xi had planned to find a chance to ditch him. But now she was hooked.

Having tasted the sweetness, she clung tightly to this aloof beauty on the mountaintop and never let go.

After all, those people on Wuwang Mountain surely had no idea that the aloof Immortal Venerable they revered like a god...

was absolutely delicious.

Sword Venerable Shen Guyun had guarded Wuwang Mountain alone for a thousand years. One day, he somehow ended up following a rebellious swordswoman down the mountain.

Every day they later spent walking side by side and taking in the world together, he was glad he’d acted on that “momentary impulse.”
