* Cool, beautiful master x enchanting disciple
* One-on-one romance, both reborn, both have only loved each other
Blurb:
Xu Shengbai had no fondness for Qu Youwu, a disciple from her own peak.
Qu Youwu was playful, and anything she touched ended in disaster. She turned the peaceful Peach Blossom Mountain into a madhouse. She also tossed out sweet nothings at every opportunity and loved teasing Xu Shengbai.
With a wave of her sleeve, Xu Shengbai sent her down the mountain.
Until Xu Shengbai was assassinated by her own personal disciple and saw Qu Youwu step in front of her.
The girl's robes fluttered, her deathly pale face streaked with bright red blood. As her mind faded, Qu Youwu's voice was full of acceptance:
“Master, in my next life, I don't want to love you anymore.”
.
Reborn on the day they first met, Qu Youwu arrived at the immortal mountain as a noble of the royal family, arrogant and refusing to perform the disciple's bow.
Xu Shengbai didn't turn her away as she had in her previous life. To everyone's astonishment, she accepted Qu Youwu as her personal disciple.
At first, Xu Shengbai only wanted to protect her and keep her safe for the rest of her life, repaying the kindness she had received in her previous life. But who could have guessed that this girl...
A cold spring would cleanse away her mortal roots, and Xu Shengbai would guard her while she did so. The girl's sheer garment clung to her body, her curves faintly visible through the clear water. Qu Youwu rested her arms on the edge of the pool, her voice trembling softly. “Master, I'm cold.”
Xu Shengbai ignored her.
When a pill was used to aid her cultivation, Qu Youwu swallowed it and suddenly felt feverish all over. Her face flushed as she tugged at her disheveled clothes and collapsed into Xu Shengbai's arms. Gritting her teeth, she complained, “I'm so hot. Master, what did you give me?”
Xu Shengbai: “...A Bone-Growing Pill. It can help you develop a spiritual root.”
The worst time was when Qu Youwu snuck into Xu Shengbai's bedroom at night in revealing clothes, carrying some salacious book she'd found somewhere. Her voice was full of expectation. “Master, I heard that becoming cultivation partners with you might give me a spiritual root and let me enter the immortal path. Might this disciple be so fortunate?”
Xu Shengbai looked at her disciple, whose mind was full of wicked schemes, and decided to teach her a lesson.
She undressed her and began the dual cultivation ritual.
Watching Qu Youwu cry, “You crazy woman! You pervert!” Xu Shengbai smiled warmly for the first time. “Come here, my disciple.”
.
Qu Youwu fell in love with Xu Shengbai at first sight.
The lofty immortal, aloof from the mortal world, needed only to cast a cold glance for someone to gladly die for her.
Qu Youwu knew Xu Shengbai didn't like her, but she just wanted to leave her mark on Xu Shengbai's long life.
But the Immortal Venerable misjudged people. She gave everything to her personal disciple, only to end up dead, her spirit destroyed.
At the time, Qu Youwu's kingdom had fallen, and she was wandering the land as a beggar. Looking back on her life, she realized no one had ever truly cared for her. Seeing no reason to go on, she sighed and rushed forward, trying to take a sword meant for Xu Shengbai.
Instead, one sword pierced them both. As she lay dying, she let out a long sigh.
“Master, in my next life, I don't want to love you anymore.”
When she opened her eyes again, she was back on the day Xu Shengbai took her as a disciple. The immortal stood high above her, but her gaze held a little more scrutiny than it had in their previous life.
This time, Qu Youwu decided to do two things.
First, hurry down the mountain and find a secluded cave to hide from the war.
Second, travel around and enjoy herself, and show up to expose Xu Shengbai's true nature before her disciple killed her.
Qu Youwu started wreaking havoc. In her previous life, she'd driven Xu Shengbai so crazy that after four months of study, she was sent down the mountain just two months in. Qu Youwu planned to cause such a ruckus that she'd be kicked out the very next day, then pack her things and hide from the war.
But something wasn't right. She set fire to the mountain, and Xu Shengbai put it out, then treated the burns on her hand.
She blew up the Jade Tower, and Xu Shengbai rushed to protect her from the flying debris, then gave her a protective talisman and told her to keep it with her.
She got into a fight with a fellow disciple, and Xu Shengbai didn't even ask who was at fault. She simply punished the other disciple with three days of confinement, then gave Qu Youwu an immortal sword for protection.
Qu Youwu: ???
As the day she'd be sent down the mountain drew closer, the memory of being stabbed by soldiers was still vivid. At her wits' end, Qu Youwu took a forbidden book and deliberately tried to disgust Xu Shengbai. “Master, I heard that dual cultivation with you can lead me onto the immortal path. Might this disciple be fortunate enough to have that chance?”
Instead of being sent flying as she'd expected, Xu Shengbai waved her sleeve and laid down a barrier, cutting off Qu Youwu's escape for good.
Realizing she'd finally gone too far, Qu Youwu: “...”
