Don't Stop Me from Cultivating Immortality

Nvying was born a ghost, yet devoted herself wholeheartedly to the Dao.

She guided vengeful ghosts onward and gathered immortal blessings. Just as her path to immortality seemed smooth, a young man in red forcibly attached himself to her.

His cultivation was unfathomably deep, and he never hesitated to use or threaten Nvying.

When Nvying asked why he was getting close to her, he simply replied, "Traveling with a ghost cultivator is quite interesting."

Nvying took him for a lunatic and worked even harder at her cultivation, hoping to shake off the troublesome, scheming man.

But she gradually discovered that while he treated her like a friend to her face, he harbored other intentions behind her back. What she found even more infuriating was that ever since they began traveling together, every vengeful ghost she was about to guide onward would turn to him at the last moment.

Furious, Nvying left to get away from him, only to accidentally wander into a demonic lair.

When she was tortured until she was at death's door, the once-confident, composed young man came rushing to find her, drenched in blood.

After that, he began coughing up blood every day. Nvying worked even harder at cultivating immortality so she could heal him, but he spent his days sprawled helplessly in her arms, sweetly urging her to lie flat with him.

At last, Nvying couldn't take it anymore. She kicked the man lounging on her bed and pointed at his nose. "What are you really up to? Why do you keep getting in the way of my cultivation?"

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled more miserably than if he were crying. "Because... I don't want you to become immortal. Before ascending, you have to undergo a tribulation of love. When that happens, you'll forget me."

Nvying thought he was going mad again. But she didn't know that he had come from the lifetime in which they underwent that tribulation of love. He knew everything. He had meant to travel back in time to save the Nvying of a later life, but had unexpectedly arrived in the very first lifetime in which they met.
