Qing Wu thought she was as good as dead.
Stripped of her immortal rank, her immortal arts abolished, her immortal bones removed, her meridians severed...
She thought she would open her eyes again on the Bridge of Helplessness, but instead found herself in a small village nestled between mountains and water.
Her father played favorites, her stepmother was vicious, and her elder sister was cruel... She breathed in the fresh scent of the soil and decided she rather liked this petty family drama, these "noobs fighting each other." It gave her something to watch and helped pass the time. What could make for a more lively and entertaining retirement?
But she had barely started to lie flat when everyone from her past came knocking.
Her junior fellow disciple wanted to return her magical artifact, her master wanted to give back her immortal bones, and the sect leader wanted to hand her the sect leader's position. Even the Demon Lord, who had opposed her at every turn, wanted to give her his cultivation.
Qing Wu: Don't come near me!!!
[Bonus Scene]
"Bai Ye, I'm nothing but a cripple now. If you want revenge, take it. If you have a grudge, settle it. I won't fight back or call for help."
"As if you could fight back."
Qing Wu checked the almanac. It said the day was suitable for offerings, prayers, and fasting rituals. It seemed like a good day to die.
So she closed her eyes and waited and waited, until a soft sensation came
"!! Help!!!"
"Didn't you say you wouldn't call for help?"
"I'm being molested! What else am I supposed to shout?"
"Call me husband."
The big shot of the Demon Realm, but his wife forgot him x A former cultivation-world powerhouse who just wants to enjoy a quiet retirement
Dual cultivation is just that fast.
Help, I woke up to find my sworn enemy chasing me around and calling me his wife.
