Ling Xinghe was born with a Daoist heart and was a cultivation prodigy. Before he was even a hundred, he became a beacon of righteousness.
After an accident, the Demon Lord Ji Li became a tethered spirit bound to his side.
One was a beacon of righteousness, the other the ruler of the demon realm, and somehow they had become two souls that couldn't be separated.
What kind of nonsense was this?!
The Demon Lord Ji Li was born bloodthirsty.
To him, human lives were nothing but lowly ants. He had started the war between immortals and demons on a mere whim.
Just as Ling Xinghe braced himself for a fight, ready to face off against Ji Li,
Ji Li gently rested his head on the tip of Ling Xinghe's sword, revealing two sharp little canine teeth.
"Immortal, I'll teach you how to kill me."
Ji Li had been born into the mud, with no one to love him. Even his own birth mother kept her distance.
But one person reached out a hand to him.
That person was so pure, so noble. Ji Li didn't even dare touch him, afraid he'd sully him.
The man said, "The 'Li' in Ji Li doesn't mean being abandoned by everyone. It means never leaving each other."
After becoming the Demon Lord, Ji Li tried every way he could to find the mortal from back then, but he was nowhere to be found. Even his soul had vanished without a trace.
Just as Ji Li was giving up on himself, Heaven took pity on him, and he met that person again.
By then, the man had become an aloof sword immortal, high above the world. He had forgotten the past and didn't remember Ji Li.
"It's all right. For your sake, I can kill myself."
