After the Hehuan Saint Son Broke My Path of Emotionlessness

Everyone in the Heavenly Sword Sect knows that Senior Sister Pei Qing is the most gifted sword cultivator of the Emotionless Path in her generation. Her sword heart is clear, and her whole heart is devoted to the Dao. Like the moon hanging high in the sky, she is serene, solitary, and upright.

But even the moon has its private affections. Rumor has it that Senior Sister Pei Qing favors her junior brother, Xie Zhiyi, above all others.

Pei Qing herself can confirm that it's true.

First: Xie Zhiyi is an orphan she personally brought home.

Second: She raised him herself, and he's just like her in every way: clean, unadorned, pure, and devoted to the sword.

There is just one thing: Xie Zhiyi is far too fond of acting cute.

Pei Qing lowered her eyes to look at the person in her arms.

The tall, slender youth was kneeling halfway, rubbing his head against the hollow of her neck. His voice was full of clingy affection:

"I love you so much, Senior Sister. I want to be with you for the rest of my life."

Pei Qing sighed, and in the end, her heart softened. She went to the forbidden grounds and endured eighty-one sword punishments. Her meridians were shattered, and her cultivation was completely lost.

From then on, the Emotionless Path became the Path of Affection.

Before their cultivation-union ceremony, Pei Qing went on a mission and accidentally became separated from her teammates. Alone, she mistakenly entered the Holy Son's Hall of the Hehuan Sect.

The Hehuan Sect was full of licentious, wicked cultivators who treated emotions as playthings. The Holy Son was especially notorious: born without a heart, with countless furnace cauldrons at his disposal.

"Congratulations, Your Highness. You've successfully captured your mission target. All you need to do is consume her, and your cultivation will surely reach a new level."

A servant's voice rang through the hall.

"But, Your Highness, are you really going to join your cultivation with hers?"

"Of course not." Someone gave a soft snort. "That woman Pei Qing is stiff and dull. If it weren't for her spiritual bones, I wouldn't give a woman like her a second glance."

The man leaned against a beauty couch, bare feet resting on the carpet. Silver bells adorned his slender, pale ankles, and his disheveled clothes and dangling chains jingled softly.

His slender fingers gripped the ribs of a fan, waving it back and forth.

Amid all that wanton abandon was a face identical to that of her junior brother, Xie Zhiyi.

As the Holy Son of the Hehuan Sect, Xie Zhiyi had known from birth that feelings were meant to be exploited.

But why, on the day his lies were exposed, did he feel only terror when he met his senior sister's calm gaze?

Later, people said that the beautiful Holy Son of the Hehuan Sect had gone mad. With a knife in his hand, he slowly peeled away the skin exposed to the air, then knelt beneath the Heavenly Sword Sect's mountain, drenched in blood.

He wailed like a ghost:

"Senior Sister, I'm not filthy. Please don't abandon me."

Reader's guide:

One-on-one romance, both leads are each other's first, ensemble cast

The Lazy Girl Turns Out to Be the Demon Who Will Destroy the World

"The book Saving the Sinister Demon Serpent tells the story of the male lead, the Demon Venerable, who goes undercover in a sword sect to cause trouble. There, he meets the heroine, his junior sister, a little ray of sunshine. She gradually moves and redeems him, and in the end, she successfully stops him from destroying the world."

The System's mechanical voice spoke without a trace of emotion.

"So I've transmigrated into the male lead, the sinister demon serpent who will destroy the world in the end?" Ruan Tao asked.

The System replied, "Yes."

Ruan Tao raised her serpent tail and glanced down at it, then raised an eyebrow. "Then where's the male lead's equipment? There should be two. Did you secretly pocket them both?"

"!!!???"

The System glitched into a string of garbled characters, as if it were swearing. In the end, it couldn't hold back and completely lost it: "You're a girl! Have you no shame?"

Ruan Tao ignored it. She curled herself into a little snake-shaped pancake, then leisurely tucked her head inside.

"You need to go to the sword sect and follow the plot!" The System was so furious its teeth hurt.

"No." Ruan Tao, who had been a lazybones in her previous life too, closed her eyes and went to sleep.

She was already the great demon who would destroy the world. Why the hell would she do quests?

Meanwhile, at the sword sect's recruitment peak, a gloomy figure had been waiting there for nearly half a month.

"Where's that Demon Venerable? Why hasn't he shown up yet?" Lin Zhimo's dark eyes were full of impatience, and his whole presence was sharp and volatile.

"Maybe..." the System stammered, making a guess. "The heroine in the original story is a little ray of sunshine. How about... you smile?"

Sword light flared as the blade slid halfway from its sheath. The irritable youth forced down his anger and put on a cold expression, his downturned mouth becoming just a little less severe.

"The book also says..." The System's voice grew quieter and quieter. "When the male and female leads first meet, the heroine is wearing a bright, dazzling yellow dress..."

Boom!

The sword leapt from its sheath, turning the hill in front of him to dust.

Later on,

With an automated luxury snake nest (on Lin Zhimo's head),

automated luxury snake climbing frame (Lin Zhimo's body),

automated luxury feeding machine, automated luxury scale-scrubber, and automated luxury nanny (Lin Zhimo himself),

Ruan Tao lazily draped herself over the wrist of the young sword cultivator, then climbed around his abs and onto his shoulder, finally burrowing into the hollow of his pale, prominent collarbone.

The snake's head rubbed against his warm skin.

Ruan Tao thought: Maybe following the plot and being a demon serpent isn't so bad after all.
