Green Lady

A major event recently shook the Three Realms: the Immortal and Demon clans were joining in marriage. The eldest daughter of the prestigious Changyu family of the Immortal Capital dressed in full bridal finery, but suddenly fell gravely ill and died just seven days after her wedding.

The Demon Lord was devastated by the loss of his beloved. Heartbroken, he personally arranged her funeral and escorted her coffin to its grave.

Cang Lin, the last dragon in the world, loved all kinds of treasure. He heard that the Demon Lord's late wife had been buried in great splendor, with a tomb full of priceless treasures, and decided it was well worth breaking in.

He made it into the underground tomb without a hitch, and was just about to haul away the loot when the coffin holding the dead woman moved. The Demon Lord's wife's corpse climbed out.

The late wife stared coolly at the gold and silver by his feet. "Those are my burial goods."

Cang Lin had a sudden inspiration. "I'm your burial good, too."

Shi Luqing: "?"

Shi Luqing had a secret: she could not die.

No matter how badly she was injured, even if her head was cut off or her heart ripped out, she would come back to life without a scratch on the seventh day. So she roamed the Three Realms, taking on deadly jobs where she was always one step from death.

One time, after being dead for seven days, she climbed out of her coffin and found a grime-covered young man in the tomb. He claimed to be one of her burial goods, said he was too tough to die, and was looking for a way out.

If he was her burial good, then of course he belonged to her.

Shi Luqing happened to need a sidekick who could collect her body, so since he'd discovered her secret anyway, she took Cang Lin along.

At first, Cang Lin's only job was to dig Shi Luqing out of graves and other places. But after watching over her body again and again as he waited for her to come back to life, an indescribable resentment and anger began to build in his heart.

Cang Lin finally couldn't hold back and interfered with one of Shi Luqing's assignments. Losing control, he trapped her and demanded to know why she kept choosing to die, even though she could feel pain and suffer.

Shi Luqing still looked as carefree as ever. "Because it's thrilling. Otherwise, I can't feel that I'm alive. I need the pain."

His eyes bloodshot, he looked at her and finally grinned. "Thrilling, is it? There are plenty of thrilling things besides dying, Qingqing. Want to try one?"
