When Shen Fuhuan, a temptress from the Hehuan Sect, was on the verge of the Nascent Soul stage, she received a Daoist trial:
[Tempt Pei Chisu, the senior sister of the Wuxiang Sword Sect]
It was a tough assignment. Pei Chisu practiced the Way of Emotionlessness and was renowned throughout the cultivation world for her upright, self-controlled nature. She was cold as ice, fierce as could be, and spent all her time in secluded cultivation. She was hard for anyone to approach, and Shen Fuhuan had even offended her before.
To advance her cultivation, Shen Fuhuan gave it everything she had. Like a moth flying into a flame, like a swallow diving into a pot, she climbed mountains of blades and crossed seas of thunder for Pei Chisu, blocked attacks from the front and dodged those from behind. She was ready to risk her life without regret and entrust her very existence to her.
Everyone in the cultivation world laughed. The Hehuan Sect's reputation was ruined. Shen Fuhuan chased Pei Chisu all over the world, and Pei Chisu had not spared her even half a glance.
That wasn't true.
Pei Chisu actually loved looking at Shen Fuhuan, especially when the bed curtains swayed gently and the scent of incense filled the room. Then that cool, ethereal woman would stare at her without blinking, with red lips, white teeth, and beauty in every gesture.
Shen Fuhuan thought she was about to succeed, until she heard Pei Chisu's assessment of her:
"You indulge in pleasure, have no shame, and are unfit for great responsibility. How could anyone entrust anything to you?"
Shen Fuhuan pushed open the door and walked in.
Pei Chisu, you don't have to be cold and unfeeling like you, rigid in every way, and build yourself into a stiff iceberg to be diligent and hardworking, or worthy of great responsibility!
But Shen Fuhuan didn't say it aloud. Three days later, in the secret realm, she stood alone against the enemy and blew herself up, saving everyone. She died a spectacular death. Overnight, she went from the Hehuan Sect's ridiculed temptress to the beloved of the entire cultivation world's younger generation.
She died without looking back, leaving Pei Chisu not the slightest hope.
--
Pei Chisu knew Shen Fuhuan had approached her only because of the Hehuan Sect's Daoist trial.
Pei Chisu knew everything.
It wasn't that she didn't look at Shen Fuhuan. She was afraid she wouldn't be able to resist wanting her.
She had failed to guard her heart, and sank into the desire the temptress offered with full awareness. She couldn't pull herself free, and there was no escape.
--
Two hundred years later, Shen Fuhuan emerged from the Realm of Perfection after breaking through once more, and learned two things.
First, after her death, Pei Chisu, the cool-headed and upright star of the immortal sects, had gone mad overnight and fallen into demonic cultivation.
Second, the Fallen God wanted to see her.
#A vengeful ghost at the door #After faking my death, I became the Fallen God's beloved, now what do I do? #Graduation rates for the Way of Emotionlessness
