Before her death, Yun Wan was a demoness with riches and countless handsome men at her beck and call. She was on the verge of claiming the title of supreme ruler of the demon realm.
The bad news: Her nemesis couldn't stand her and came to her door, splitting her in half with one sword strike.
The good news: She was reborn. After a great deal of hardship, she became that man's disciple.
When asked why she'd come, Yun Wan answered with utter sincerity, "I have come to serve Daojun."
But inwardly, she sneered.
Xi Xingxue, you bastard. I said I'd never leave you alone, even as a ghost.
I'd crawl back here just to take revenge!
*
The first step of revenge.
She stirred poison into the porridge, then smiled as she brought it to Xi Xingxue. "Daojun, I made this myself."
Go on, try it.
One sip and you'll be on your way to the afterlife.
Xi Xingxue accepted it without the slightest suspicion, his glass-like eyes distant and smiling. That would be the last smile he ever gave, Yun Wan thought.
After taking a bite, the man in white kept smiling at her.
Yun Wan: ?
Wait, why aren't you dead yet?
The second step of revenge.
Yun Wan stood behind him, fingers curled like claws, trying to pierce his heart and crush it.
His powerful protective aura stopped her. Not only did she fail to pierce him, she even broke her fingernail.
Xi Xingxue calmly turned around, took her hand, and asked tenderly, "Are you all right?"
Yun Wan: "..."
Thanks for asking. My body is a little bit dead.
At last, her divine art reached perfection.
Just as she was about to settle the score with Xi Xingxue, she saw him with her own eyes... wipe out his entire family!
The fire spread, reducing the whole immortal mountain to ashes.
High above, the man gazed down at the blaze with indifference, his arrogance and domineering aura so overwhelming he could take on the whole world by himself.
Yun Wan: So I have to duel him?
Terrified, she packed her things that very night, fled to an inn at the foot of the mountain, and huddled under the covers listening to the cold rain all night.
The next day, the sky was clear.
Yun Wan thought it over all night. What was revenge compared to staying alive?
She opened the door
Outside stood a man in white and blue robes, his wet hair clinging to his waist, his face as pale as a ghost. He looked as if he'd stood in the rain all night and fallen ill, his gloom edged with a hard-to-describe obsession.
He lifted his eyes, turned to look at her, and gave a cold smile. Then he reached out a long, jade-white finger.
His voice left no room for refusal. "A-Wan, come here."
Yun Wan, whose nemesis had come to her door to challenge her to a duel: ...???
Wait, when did you recognize me?!
[Lazy, survival-minded demoness x inescapable, world-destroying powerhouse]
Many years later, the tale of the murderous madman who slaughtered his own family was still told throughout the martial world.
As Xi Xingxue's greatest enemy, the lazy demoness was asked how she'd subdued him and taken revenge.
Yun Wan replied: I seduced him into submission ==
Everyone else, shocked and awestruck, bowed to her: What eloquence, miss!
The actual lazy demoness: ...Never mind. I can't explain it to a bunch of innocent people like you.
