Selling Blood and Running into My Former Daoist Partner

A vial of blood medicine that can cure every illness, regrow severed limbs, and bring the dead back to life. The rich pay one low-grade spirit stone; those who can’t afford that pay a few spirit stone fragments.

Su Yuming unexpectedly survives a death sentence. To save up enough spirit stones to buy a fake identity and leave the city, she works days at a small apothecary for one and a half low-grade spirit stones a month, then sneaks into people’s homes at night to sell her blood medicine.

She never expects it to end up in the hands of her former Dao companion.

Su Yuming once deceived this former Dao companion, who was also her junior sister, terribly.

In fact, Su Yuming’s spiritual root was ripped out and her golden core destroyed partly because she had deceived her Dao companion. Her former Dao companion, once a little phoenix, has since become the leader of the Feng clan.

The woman looks even more dazzling than Su Yuming remembers, and her cultivation is far higher than before. Seeing her alive, Su Yuming assumes her former Dao companion will kill her on the spot.

But her former Dao companion doesn’t kill Su Yuming. It seems she’s forgotten her, too.

“My name is Yu Qing, my lady,” Su Yuming says.

“Good.”

“Physician Yu, I’ll be relying on you for spirit medicine from now on.”

Her former Dao companion not only takes care of all her future blood medicine needs, but forcefully claims Su Yuming herself as a bedmate.

Yet she isn’t as pure and serene as she seems, and her touch is no longer as gentle as it used to be. Su Yuming’s former Dao companion becomes increasingly rough, leaving more and more marks on her body.

Rather than pleasure, it feels more like torture.

Eventually, Su Yuming finally finds a way to escape her former Dao companion.

But Su Yuming is simply too weak. She has no cultivation, is afflicted with a cold poison, and has been losing blood for a long time. She’s caught less than two days after escaping.

Her former Dao companion holds Su Yuming tightly and says all sorts of frightening things.

“Run again and I’ll break all four of your limbs.”

“Maybe I should put a Gu worm in you.”

“No, better to dig out your heart and refine you into a puppet.”

…

Just as Su Yuming is relieved that her former Dao companion hasn’t actually done any of it, the woman suddenly kisses her. When the kiss ends, she says softly, “Dear Senior Sister, ever since I saw you again that day, I’ve had only one thought.”

“Whether you crawled out of a grave or however you managed it, you belong to me from now on.”

Theme: Even in the depths of hardship, don’t give up. One day, you’ll emerge from your cocoon as a butterfly.
