The Outer Disciple Accidentally Becomes Everyone's Favorite

Cha Manman served as a menial disciple at Wanzhang Sect for ten years to repay a debt of gratitude, working hard without complaint. When she finally learned she didn't have much time left to live, she went down the mountain, planning to live for herself.

But just after leaving, she ran into Lu Changyi and his men plotting how to attack Wanzhang Sect.

Cha Manman: I'm doomed!

Somehow, they discovered her, too. They spared her life, but kept her by their side every moment.

She had hoped someone from Wanzhang Sect would come to rescue her, but instead she heard that she had been branded a traitor and was being hunted.

Cha Manman panicked, but no one was willing to listen to her explanation. Everyone treated her as a traitor.

With no other choice, she nervously stayed by Lu Changyi's side, planning to sneak away once the trouble passed.

But why were the rumors getting more and more outrageous? They weren't just calling her a traitor anymore. Now they were saying she and Lu Changyi were having an affair.

Lu Changyi would get angry if he heard that, wouldn't he?

*

Lu Changyi believed he had done nothing wrong to Cha Manman. She was always smiling, telling him he was a good person and that she trusted him.

But one day, this seemingly carefree woman suddenly left him behind and ran away.

He really had treated her too well. Everyone but her feared him at least a little.

But she wasn't afraid of him. She had only run away. He just had to catch her and bring her back.

Coming soon from the author next door: Sword Spirits Don't Have the Seven Emotions

[Carefree, oblivious heroine vs. aloof, yet dark and possessive immortal lord]

Shi Sheng is the sword spirit of the foremost Immortal Lord. When she has nothing to do, she teases the young immortal and stirs up trouble so he won't be so bored.

One day, the Lord goes down to the mortal realm. Shi Sheng is dumbfounded. She's a sword spirit! Why didn't he take her with him?

Shi Sheng secretly follows him down to the mortal realm. The handsome immortal, who usually keeps everyone at a distance, has become a bullied illegitimate son.

The immortal has fallen from his pedestal. Furious, Shi Sheng chases off the people picking on him, and the naive little sword spirit solemnly promises, "I won't let anyone bully you!"

*

Wan Mingzhu grows to look more and more like the immortal in Shi Sheng's memories, though he talks more than he did back then.

Shi Sheng decides it's time to leave. She wasn't allowed to descend to the mortal realm in the first place, and Wan Mingzhu can make his own way from here.

After dropping several hints, Wan Mingzhu asks, "What do you want? What do you like?"

Shi Sheng, who envies the splendor of the human world, says longingly, "I want an identity."

Wan Mingzhu pauses. "What kind of identity?"

His voice sounds a little strange, but Shi Sheng doesn't notice. Shyly, she says, "A human identity. The stories all say love feels wonderful, and I want to experience it, too."

She's a sword spirit and has no seven emotions or six desires, but she wants to know what they're like. She's not content with being just a sword spirit.

[Bonus scene]

After returning to the Heavenly Realm, Shi Sheng keeps out of Wan Mingzhu's way, but he catches her anyway.

Wan Mingzhu smiles, but the warmth doesn't reach his eyes. "Why are you avoiding me? Do you like that brat better?"

Shi Sheng quickly shakes her head. The next moment, the tall man becomes shorter, gentle and refined, and sighs. "Are you sick of me?"

It's the young Wan Mingzhu, from his time training in the mortal world.

Shi Sheng waves her hands repeatedly. "How could I..."

The young man turns into a boy, staring at her with a stiff expression and wounded eyes.

Shi Sheng's heart softens. Just as she's about to speak, a tall figure pulls her into his arms and murmurs, "So you really do think I'm not as good as them."

Shi Sheng is on the verge of tears. They're all the same person!
