After Divorcing the Tool-Man Immortal Venerable

After Yun Sheng dreamed that her cultivation partner was cheating on her with his new disciple, she was so furious that she fell to demonic cultivation, only to be hunted down and killed while proving the Dao.

It was only a dream, so Yun Sheng initially laughed it off.

But the next day, when she emerged from seclusion and the mountain gates opened, a strange young woman beside her partner, Yuanzhou, sweetly called her "Mistress."

Yun Sheng: ?

Some time later, Yuanzhou sent her a letter of separation.

Yun Sheng: ...I believe it now.

But falling to demonic cultivation was out of the question. Yun Sheng decided to accept the separation, kick this useful partner to the curb, and find herself another one.

So she set her sights on the half-demon wolf pup that little disciple had picked up.

#You steal my partner, I steal your underling#

Yun Sheng had been able to control strange flames since birth.

That made her extraordinarily talented, and she cultivated at incredible speed. But strange flames were a double-edged sword. To suppress the excess fire that constantly ran wild inside her, she had no choice but to get close and cuddle up to men with Yin-cold constitutions.

So Yun Sheng approached Yuanzhou and became his partner in name only, helping him break through his cultivation bottleneck. All she asked was to be by his side whenever her strange flames flared up.

But now Yuanzhou had cheated on her and wanted to spend the rest of his life with his little disciple. So she'd just have to find someone else :)

After Yun Sheng took in the little wolf pup, she discovered that this second useful partner didn't seem very cooperative.

No matter how she tried to coax or threaten him, he wouldn't let her touch him.

Fine. Men with Yin-cold constitutions were rare, but they weren't the only ones around.

A good woman doesn't hang herself from a single tree, so she decided to find someone else :D

But when Yun Sheng finally found another useful partner and was about to cuddle up to him, Partner Number Two suddenly objected.

He sought Yun Sheng out himself, looking utterly aggrieved. "Isn't having me enough? Can't you stop looking for someone else?"

Gu Miaoling had two secrets.

1. She wasn't from this world. She had transmigrated here.

2. The System had given her a mission: take everything from Yun Sheng and win Mu Zhao's true love.

With the System's help, Gu Miaoling used various schemes to keep Mu Zhao by her side, planning to gradually cultivate their feelings. She also posed as an innocent, kindhearted orphan and became Yuanzhou's disciple.

She wanted to win over both handsome men.

But just as Gu Miaoling succeeded in stealing Yun Sheng's partner and was ready to watch Yun Sheng fly into a rage and fall to demonic cultivation, Yun Sheng amicably accepted the separation, smiled, wished her and Yuanzhou a century of wedded bliss, and then whisked Mu Zhao away.

Later, strange flames engulfed the abyss, and a hundred birds paid homage to the phoenix. Gu Miaoling looked up in dismay amid the blazing inferno. In midair, Mu Zhao, who had always been cold toward her, gently kissed Yun Sheng at the corner of her lips.

Beside them, Yuanzhou looked on with jealousy and regret.

At that moment, Gu Miaoling knew she had lost completely.
