The Soul-Gathering Lantern burned for two hundred years, and only managed to repair half of Luo Lingyin's soul.
Who would have thought that she, the mighty Goddess Yunhua of the Immortal Realm, would ever be unable to move? If her senior sister found out, she'd laugh so hard she couldn't hold on to her jade cup.
Luo Lingyin remembered how, a hundred years ago, on a whim, she had taken in a Zhengi beast as her disciple on Zhang'e Mountain and named him Lu Lie.
The Immortal Realm's empress, who was also her fellow disciple of the Heavenly Sage, couldn't understand. "Of all the living beings in the Three Realms, junior sister, why did you take in such a wicked beast as your disciple?"
Holding the fine wine and nectar gifted by the Goddess Shuang'e, Luo Lingyin was tipsy. "Because it's bright red and looks festive."
The empress frowned and asked the assembled goddesses, "Can't we find a single red beast on Mount Kunlun?"
The goddesses didn't dare answer.
Luo Lingyin let out a long sigh as she recalled the past. When had her bright red, festive little disciple first developed murderous intent toward her?
It seemed to have been around the time she had taken the Moonlit Immortal's advice and arranged a marriage for him...
That wicked disciple was so rebellious and deranged. If he didn't like the beautiful immortal women of the Immortal Realm, he could simply refuse. What kind of good demon stabs his teacher in the back to get revenge?
No wonder the Immortal Realm had established heavenly laws to keep its immortals in line. They did have a point. Though Luo Lingyin herself seemed to be exempt from those rules. She did as she pleased, doing whatever came into her head, and was the most hated of them all.
Well, she'd learned her lesson. Once she got out of the Soul-Gathering Lantern and killed that unfilial disciple, she'd never involve herself in the affairs of the Three Realms again. She could ride the wind away and live freely, enjoying the boundless years of her immortal life.
When master and disciple met again, the new ruler of the Demon Realm, Jiu Fangxuan, wore red hair and black robes, his face devoid of joy or sorrow. He could only sigh that Goddess Yunhua's heart was indeed as cold as iron. A hundred years later, she not only wanted to kill him, but refused to spare their child either...
Luo Lingyin stared blankly at the child before her, whose features resembled her own.
What had Lu Lie just said???
Their child???
That wicked disciple really deserved to die!
A headstrong, cold-hearted goddess of the Immortal Realm vs. her rebellious, love-maddened male disciple, a demon who would go to any lengths for love.
Reader's guide:
1. A ridiculous, brainless, melodramatic power fantasy written to indulge my tastes. No writing advice, please (covers ears and shakes head, not listening, not listening).
2. The male lead is completely, hopelessly lovestruck and cares about nothing but the female lead.
3. The male lead is crazy, deranged, and twisted. After all, he's a beast who took human form, so being abnormal is normal for him.
4. The female lead is emotionally distant at first and will genuinely try to kill the male lead.
5. I only guarantee a happy ending. The journey there is anyone's guess.
6. More to be added...
