The Immortal Venerable Peeks at the Screen Every Day

Immortal Venerable Qihua recently acquired a Xuanyuan Mirror that can reveal all things in the world. Yet the person who keeps appearing in the mirror is his not-so-familiar Daoist partner.

The woman in the mirror loves to paint, and every person she paints is Immortal Venerable Qihua. After spying on her day after day, the perpetually single Immortal Venerable Qihua can't help but feel his heart stir.

Su Zheng came to the Spirit Sword Sect to cultivate and seek the Dao. Unfortunately, she wasn't very bright, and the sect leader tricked her into becoming the Daoist partner of an Immortal Venerable in seclusion.

Her bargain-bin Daoist partner seemed to do nothing but cultivate, and they rarely interacted. But lately, she had no idea why, he had been acting stranger and stranger.

"Immortal Venerable, it's getting late. Don't you think it's time to head back?"

"It's dark and windy. I'm scared."

"…"

Surely you aren't just making that up with a straight face!
