Master Xie, Please Behave Yourself!

Chao Qinghe's husband vanished without a trace thirty years ago, his fate unknown.

For those thirty years, Chao Qinghe searched high and low, venturing into secret realms of every size in hopes of finding her husband's whereabouts.

One day, she entered an unknown secret realm. After searching it in vain, Chao Qinghe tried to leave, only to discover that the realm had closed and her cultivation had been suppressed to that of an ordinary person.

There was also a man standing before her.

She knew him. She had met him three times: Xie, the sect master of Taixu Sect, the foremost sect in the Lingchen Domain, the leader of the righteous path, and an unattainable figure to countless female cultivators.

Sect Master Xie looked clear-minded, but his jade-like face was flushed.

As a healer, Chao Qinghe could tell at a glance that he had been drugged.

"Sect Master Xie, I know a little about medicine. If you need it, I can help you prepare an antidote."

Xie Yuan'an nodded slightly. "Thank you, Daoist Chao."

Chao Qinghe was a little surprised. She hadn't expected the aloof beauty to know who she was.

What puzzled her even more was how strange this secret realm was. All kinds of accidents kept making them touch, and even brought them face-to-face in their most intimate state…

Chao Qinghe steadfastly held to her principles. She hadn't expected Xie Yuan'an, renowned for his abstinence and indifference, to be nothing like the rumors. Seeing his gaze shift from clear-eyed to resentful and lovesick, she hurried to finish preparing the antidote.

In the end, he took the medicine, but he still didn't change back.

Xie Yuan'an clutched her hand tightly, his eyes red. "Qinghe, can I, "

Chao Qinghe said righteously, "Sect Master Xie, please behave yourself."

A month later, the secret realm opened. Chao Qinghe fled in a panic, telling herself over and over that a cultivator's life was long, and the occasional wrong turn was only human. Besides, this secret realm had been left behind by the founding ancestor of the Hehuan Sect. Her cultivation was too low to resist.

Much later, Chao Qinghe finally found her husband. Her husband was gently holding the hand of a pregnant person beside him, while a pair of young siblings stood behind them, glaring at her with hostility.

Her husband said, "Qinghe, can you accept Yao'er and the others?"

Chao Qinghe's expression turned grave. "You should just go die."
