Ling Yunshuang, the master of the Cloud Sword Sect, spent a thousand years in seclusion and became the most powerful person in the mortal world.
But the passage to the upper realm was sealed for good. The spiritual energy surrounding her was so excessive that she could explode at any moment.
So Ling Yunshuang decided to spend some time in the mortal world and disperse some of her spiritual energy.
While living in seclusion, she rescued a girl who was being forced into a ghost marriage. Sold off by her own family and with nowhere to go, the girl tearfully begged Ling Yunshuang to take her in.
Ling Yunshuang felt the girl's wrist and discovered she had no aptitude for cultivation. “From now on, you'll be my disciple. Let's see which of us lives longer.”
Little Xing'er lost her birth mother. Her stepmother hated her, her father couldn't stand her, and even the new puppy in the house bullied her.
She thought the worst that could happen was being sold to a slave trader and put up for sale, but she never imagined her family could be so cruel as to marry her off to a dead man.
Death would be better.
But if she died quickly, would her soul really be given to a dead person?
When a graceful, striking woman landed before her with a sword in hand, Little Xing'er saw a glimmer of hope.
She cried and begged the woman to save her.
Ling Yunshuang had never raised a child. All she could do was clumsily dote on her, take her to visit a group of friends, and search for a magical treasure that would let someone cultivate without spiritual roots.
Whatever Little Xing'er wanted, Ling Yunshuang gave her, indulging her without limits.
As Ling Bingxing grew older, her pure feelings for her master began to change.
When she learned that her master's spiritual energy was excessive and could make her explode at any moment, Ling Bingxing nearly went mad.
One night, Ling Bingxing climbed into her master's bed, tears in her eyes. “Master, please cultivate with me and transfer your excess spiritual energy to me. I beg you...”
Ling Yunshuang thought she was desperately grasping at straws. “No. You have no spiritual roots. Forcing spiritual energy into your body would make you suffer unbearably.”
“I don't care.” Ling Bingxing stopped pretending to cry. Her eyes darkened as she gave her master a love potion.
Then she used the magical treasure her master had given her to restrain her and bent down to kiss her.
