Li Qingshan is reborn, with a little green weed growing out of the top of her head.
The disciples of her sect all think the weed sprouted because their senior sister was too devoted to tending the spiritual fields.
But that's not it! She's innocent!
She simply went into cultivation deviation, that's all. (Evil laugh.)
Li Qingshan: "I'll marry whoever pulls this thing out!"
Everyone falls silent and takes one synchronized step back.
Only Wei You, the sect's adored junior brother, reacts differently.
"Senior Sister, I made this tea. It'll help you stay alert."
"Senior Sister, let's cultivate together. Maybe it'll help you break through."
Wei You is sincere and affectionate.
Li Qingshan: Ah, Wei You, the one who ran me through with a sword in my previous life.
Realizing she can't just laze around and coast through life, Li Qingshan grows restless and wastes away day by day. At last, she sets out on the path to turning her lazy life around. Rather than muddle along as a cultivator with a useless spirit root, why not take up demonic cultivation?
As it happens:
Being unable to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining is her inner demon.
The destruction of Great Spirit Mountain is her inner demon.
Wei You's sword is her inner demon...
The heart-demon weed grows like crazy. As Li Qingshan practices demonic arts, she grows ever more wrathful, and her Dao heart grows unsteady.
The little green weed on her head grows ever thicker, too.
The heart-demon weed shares her plight, abandoned by the world just like her.
It says, "Qingshan, I'm hungry."
She replies, "Go find something to eat."
It says, "I'm bored."
She impatiently replies, "Go play by yourself."
Then one day, the heart-demon weed blossoms and bears fruit.
Weakly, it holds out a blood-red fruit to her with a smile.
"Here, Qingshan. It's for you."
Her heart suddenly skips a beat. Perhaps things could turn out differently.
*
Indeed, things turn out differently.
That day, the domain unfolds: Water Moon, Mirror Flower.
Wei You stands in the middle of the circle of light ascending to immortality. He reaches over Li Qingshan's head, plucks out the heart-demon weed with a little "pop," and grins like a fox.
"I've pulled it out. Will Senior Sister marry me now?"
Li Qingshan is on her knees, sprawled on the ground, with five Demon Refining Nails driven through her body. Her spirit root is utterly destroyed, and she has no means of fighting back. She can only watch as the little weed withers away. She reaches out desperately, but all she can grasp is its clinging ash. She smiles, then starts to cry, her eyes reddening.
"Wei You, I will kill you."
