Rather Than Cultivate Immortality, Love Me

The main story is complete!

As the most notorious God of Slaughter in the Divine Realm, Xu Linzhao was someone everyone kept at a distance.

Looking at his deserted estate, Xu Linzhao decided to ask the Heavenly Dao for permission to descend to the mortal realm and undergo a tribulation of love, just to find something to amuse himself with.

The Heavenly Dao was delighted to hear this. It casually handed him a brocade pouch, then kicked him down to the mortal world.

In his first life, he was born a mortal. At twenty, the one destined to be his love tribulation found him and took him back to a mountain of immortals to raise. After years together, they became cultivation partners.

He thought they would live out their days in love and that his tribulation would be over. But on the night he was about to die, the brocade pouch suddenly flew out and ordered him to kill his partner.

So Xu Linzhao, who had already settled into his coffin for a peaceful rest, spat blood and crawled back out. Taking advantage of the man's joyful embrace, he stabbed him with a sword.

Back in the Divine Realm.

The Heavenly Dao said without expression, "You failed your love tribulation."

Xu Linzhao was aghast. "Impossible. I struck cleanly."

The Heavenly Dao pointed at the water mirror. "He didn't die all the way."

Looking at that familiar face, Xu Linzhao fell silent and hurriedly descended to be reborn. To his surprise, he lost his memories and became a beggar everyone loved to hate.

He thought this life had been doomed from the start and that there was no hope of completing his mission. Unexpectedly, someone with a discerning eye took him in as a disciple.

With his memories gone, Xu Linzhao fell for him over time because he was his master, and could only keep his feelings hidden.

After his memories returned, Xu Linzhao looked at that familiar face and realized this was the perfect chance to kill him. He stabbed him, then fled on horseback.

He thought his love tribulation was finally over. But the man was still alive. After catching Xu Linzhao, he coolly fastened chains around him. "I haven't finished teaching you your lessons. Where do you think you're going?"

Cheng Lingbi has lived through ten thousand years of reincarnation, but only two of his lives left a deep impression.

In his first life, he was the chosen one destined to save the world. He found a cultivation partner in the snow. He thought that once they grew old together, he would finally fulfill his wish.

But his dead partner crawled out of his coffin, hugged him, and ran him through with a sword. First-life wish: failed.

In his final life, he was the young lord of a city bent on destroying the world. To achieve his grand ambition, he took in a disciple to inherit his legacy.

His disciple had an exceptional talent for cultivation and shared his feelings, too. But people around him kept warning him to stay away.

To make his disciple stay by his side for good, Cheng Lingbi took him to form a soul pact. But just as the pact was about to be sealed, his disciple ran him through with a sword, then fled in high spirits with a whole entourage.

Seeing that familiar spot and familiar wound brought everything back to him.

Later, Cheng Lingbi looked down as he tugged on the silver chain in his hand, watching the person who had nearly ruined both his life's wishes being forced to bow his head. He smiled.

After being "tormented" for several days, Xu Linzhao sat in his arms, eyes and brows flushed red and legs weak.

Yet Cheng Lingbi, taking on the air of his former mentor, affectionately took his hand and pointed the sword's tip at the still-healing wound in his chest. "You failed to kill me twice, so I'll teach you this lesson by example. Come on, stab me here."

A fun-loving, perceptive God who loves a good joke, receiving x an obsessive, unorthodox "saintly" Immortal Venerable, pursuing

Notes:

1. The pursuer is very hard to kill and prone to turning dark, while the pursued is relentless in pushing this relationship forward.

2. They both have secret identities. One by one, their disguises fall. I run, you chase, and I can't escape even if I grow wings.

3. Happy ending, one-on-one couple. The present life comes first, followed by their past lives.

Everyone knew Long Yan was the most powerful of the new emperor's hounds. Though he led the emperor's secret guards, he made no effort to hide his actions and was brazenly domineering. He was quick to confiscate estates and exile their owners, and even more practiced at taking heads.

The officials all wanted him eliminated as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the commander had the emperor backing him at court, and an underworld organization protecting him in secret. His luck was so absurdly good that it was almost ridiculous.

Only Long Yan himself knew how precarious his life really was. Whenever trouble broke out at court, he had to bear the brunt of it. Whenever the martial world fell into chaos, he had to take charge and return to being the sect's senior apprentice brother.

One slip, and he could be caught off guard and have to claw his way back to the top all over again.

He couldn't take another day of this!

So he began preparing a stash of gold and silver while also making plans to fake his death and run away with everything he could carry.

His scheme accounted for his political rivals and his "old friend." The only thing missing was a witness.

Once everything was ready, Long Yan shamelessly went to his junior apprentice brother as usual, pleading pitifully for him to cover for him.

"Good junior brother, someone at court is after your senior brother again. Could you keep them off my back?"

Song Yu sighed. "After this is over, can you come back and spend more time with me?"

Long Yan had just finished staging a fake chase and felt guilty as he nodded. "Of course. Of course."

So, many days later, when Song Yu finally arrived, all he could do was look at a horribly disfigured corpse, gravely wounded and falling from a cliff.

The real Long Yan had already left by boat, heading to Jiangnan to begin his new life.

The court and the martial world erupted. Everyone began searching for him. Some were curious whether he was really dead, others feared leaving loose ends and came to investigate, and still others knew he was alive and wanted revenge for his abuse of their genuine feelings.

"Senior brother." A young man in a moon-white robe stood in the dusty road he had to take home, holding an umbrella. Smiling as if warmed by the spring breeze, he asked, "Was it fun treating me like a dog?"
