After the Demon Lord Became His Nemesis's Sword Spirit

Please add this to your collection (づ￣3￣)づ╭~ Hoping to start posting in July

Wen Ciying, a peerless sword immortal, was a legend that astonished the Heavenly Dao.

From the moment she was born, she knew her own future: she would slay the Demon Venerable and enter the Immortal Cycle. She had no worries about advancement and lacked for no sword manuals, so she desired nothing and devoted herself wholeheartedly to practicing the sword.

After all, for a sword cultivator, the sword is the lifelong partner they cherish above all else!

Every day, Wen Ciying diligently scrubbed her life-bound sword, hugged it to sleep, and even rested her head on it while eating. Even when she bathed... she had to hang the sword on the side of the wooden tub!

Moved at last by all that love and sincerity, a sword spirit was born.

Wen Ciying was overjoyed. She performed a set of sword moves right then and there, then asked gently, "Sword spirit, sword spirit, tell me who is the greatest sword master in the Three Realms. Oh, my name is Wen Ciying."

Sword spirit: "..."

Sword spirit: "Wen Ciying."

At that, Wen Ciying planted a kiss on her life-bound sword. "Your first instinct can't lie. We really are a perfect match!"

Sword spirit: "..."

The Demon Venerable Ji Rangchen had once dominated the Three Realms. He faked his death and was reborn, never imagining that when he opened his eyes again, he would have become the sword spirit of his fated nemesis, Wen Ciying.

He also never dreamed Wen Ciying would be a lunatic.

Every day, she would talk to the sword spirit about their feelings, force a sword spirit to watch her practice swordplay a hundred times, and cajole him in every way she could to praise her as "the best in the Three Realms."

What was more, whenever she went down the mountain to slay demons and vanquish evil, Wen Ciying would draw him from his scabbard... just to use him as a mirror!

Wen Ciying: "Sword spirit, sword spirit, tell me, was the finishing pose of that sword intent just now cool, or super cool?"

Ji Rangchen: "...You can die!"

Ji Rangchen would rather die all over again than believe that the woman destined to be the Heavenly Dao's chosen one, the one who would one day cut him down with her sword, was actually a damn narcissist!

The key was, he couldn't kill her either.

For those who follow the sword, the person lives while the sword lives. When the person dies, the sword spirit dies with them.

Ji Rangchen: "...Damn."

On the day of her ascension, Wen Ciying successfully fought her way into the Demon Venerable's lair. She was almost one step into the Immortal Realm, but never expected that the Demon Venerable was her sword spirit!

The sword lives while its wielder lives. Unable to ascend, Wen Ciying: "...Damn."

Ji Rangchen: Finally, I'm happy (*^▽^*)

[A woman chosen by the Heavenly Dao, devoted to swordsmanship, narcissistic and smug, who sees her sword spirit as her partner x a tsundere villain who claims he doesn't want to help his wife, but is secretly delighted to help her ascend all the way]
