Never Meet Again

Shen Qinghe ventured into the martial world at eighteen. A year later, she returned to her sect to take charge of its affairs, ready to settle down to a peaceful life.

Not long after she went into seclusion, her skills improved greatly. She was just about to show off to her husband.

Instead, she received terrible news: Sect Leader, your husband has run off.

Shen Qinghe couldn't understand it. She treated him so well. What could he possibly be unhappy about?

After going through every hardship to find him, she planted her sword three inches from his face and pinned him to the wall in a sword-kabedon.

"Tell me, why did you leave me and run off?"

Xiao Ze's face showed three parts anger and seven parts grievance. "They said I'm living off you."

The former greatest swordsman in the world had his right hand crippled protecting her. Anyone who said such things about him was downright rotten.

Shen Qinghe stroked his face and comforted him. "Don't listen to their nonsense. It's enough that I like you. Come here and let your lady give you a kiss."

Early the next morning, the space beside her was empty. A note had been left on the table.

"In three years, once I've mastered the left-handed sword, I'll return to the martial world and slaughter my way through it. Don't come looking for me."

Shen Qinghe raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"You want to hide for three years? I'll find you in three months."

Xiao Lan, born with half-demon blood, had been treated as an outcast and shunned by her fellow disciples since birth.

When she was seventeen, her sect was overrun by the Demonic Cult. As cannon fodder, she died just as expected.

Reborn, she decided to live differently: follow her heart and stop compromising, even if everyone thought she was a villain.

When her master refused to teach her martial arts, she dug up demon cores and ate them.

When her master's wife suspected her of colluding with the enemy, she simply went off with a demon lord.

Everyone in her sect said, "A demon is a demon, all right. Born rebellious. We should have killed her with one sword long ago."

But the demon lord said, "You wouldn't treasure your own disciple, and now you won't let someone else take her in and cherish her?"

The demon lord's temper was unpredictable, and he often teased her. Xiao Lan still thought that being with him was much better than staying at her sect.

She thought their life together would go on like this forever, but she forgot that the half-demon blood in her veins would awaken sooner or later.

And once it did, her path to turning the tables would only just begin.
