Max-Level Phoenix Proudheart Starts Her Path to the Blade Husband's Proving Ground

Qi Shuang, an ancestor of the Ruthless Dao, a cool, domineering, invincible heroine. Desireless and with a heart as unyielding as iron, she kills anyone who stands in her way, whether human or Buddha. The first to found a sect.

Li Qingzhu, leader of the Hehuan Sect, a heaven-blessed protagonist with a Pinduoduo System. He's always just one strike away from being killed. He rose to power by killing his wife to prove his Dao, built a harem, and climbed to the pinnacle of life.

During a rift in time and space, Qi Shuang inexplicably traveled back to a time before Li Qingzhu had come into his own.

At the time, Qi Shuang discovered that not only had she lost her cultivation, she had also become Li Qingzhu's future primary consort, the one he would use to prove his Dao.

That night, Li Qingzhu blushed, trembling as he tried to hold himself back. "My lady... I can't take it..."

Qi Shuang: "!"

She thought she knew why this guy would become the leader of the Hehuan Sect one day.

To avoid being used to prove his Dao, Qi Shuang struck first against Li Qingzhu, who was still a total weakling. After a few moves, she pinned him beneath her foot. "Calling me Mother won't help."

Li Qingzhu lay on the ground, breathing unevenly, the muffled moans escaping his lips betraying his pleasure.

Qi Shuang: "!?"

She'd wanted to kill him, so how had she ended up getting him off instead?

Without blushing or batting an eye, Qi Shuang went straight for the kill. But she found that no matter what she did, she couldn't kill Li Qingzhu. Meanwhile, her cultivation increased by one level every time she slashed at him.

Once Qi Shuang realized this, she came up with a plan. She raised a banner proclaiming that she'd kill her husband to prove her Dao, then chased after Li Qingzhu, killing him over and over to level up.

Every time Li Qingzhu took another concubine, Qi Shuang, his primary consort, would be left with a whole head of green grass and would go after him with her sword.

He took them in, she cut him down. He took them in, she cut him down. In the end, Qi Shuang attained the Great Dao and earned the title of Ancestress of the Green Venerable.

When someone teased Qi Shuang, asking how she felt about the title, she pointed to the banner behind her that read "Kill My Husband to Prove My Dao." "Green is a Dao."

Li Qingzhu: "My lady, step on me some more..."

Qi Shuang: "!!?"

Qi Shuang: "..."

I've got work to do. Just you wait, I'll kill you this time.

[Reading Guide]

1. One-on-one, both leads' first time, happy ending

2. The male lead doesn't have a harem in the true sense. It's just part of the setup, and there's a reason behind it. Both his body and heart are devoted to one person. A man's chastity is his best dowry.

3. The female lead is genuinely ruthless. From beginning to end, she only cares about the Great Dao. She hasn't gone astray while cultivating the Ruthless Dao.
