After His Dao Companion Died, the Sword Venerable Became a Player

[This novel will enter VIP on December 1. Thank you, little angels, for all your support ●3●~] Sword Venerable Xie Tanyi's beloved partner died saving him during a great calamity. It was a horrific death: their soul scattered, leaving them unable to enter the cycle of reincarnation. Everyone in the cultivation world knew that Xie Tanyi loved his partner deeply. Back then, Xie Tanyi had ignored everyone's gossip and sworn before the Spirit Pact Stone with his junior apprentice, Ji Yunya, vowing to be together and never betray him for as long as they lived. Just how powerful was the karmic bond formed by a sincere vow from a cultivator at the Tribulation Transcendence realm? In a single night, the heavens and earth were decked out in wedding red, and blazing phoenix blossoms bloomed across half the cultivation world. That magnificent sight was still fresh in everyone's minds. They all sighed, convinced that even if Xie Tanyi didn't go mad from cultivation deviation, this would probably take half his life. And yet, three days after becoming a widower, Xie Tanyi appeared in the Demon Realm. A demon whose features resembled Ji Yunya's hooked a finger around Xie Tanyi's sword tassel. This towering demon shamelessly lowered his voice to coo at him, calling him a handsome Immortal Venerable over and over. Everyone: Whoa! He's asking to die! But Xie Tanyi merely lifted his silver-white lashes and said softly, "You're handsome too." Everyone: Oh my goodness! Ji Yunya isn't even cold in his grave yet! Two days later, Xie Tanyi appeared in the Monster Realm. A snake demon whose features resembled Ji Yunya's wrapped his long tail around Xie Tanyi and held him close. He cuddled up to him and teased him, calling him "husband" over and over. Everyone: Whoa! He doesn't want to live! But Xie Tanyi stroked the snake's ink-black tail and replied quietly, "Mm." Everyone: Oh my goodness! Ji Yunya hasn't even had his seventh-day memorial yet! Two days after that, Xie Tanyi appeared in the mortal world. Someone with features... never mind, there's no need to say it again. It seemed he'd found yet another prince to stand in for Ji Yunya. The young boy clung to Xie Tanyi's sleeve, calling him "big brother" with all the affection in the world. Everyone: Oh my goodness! Ji Yunya hasn't even had his first death anniversary! After that, an aloof, passionless Buddhist monk and a violent, ruthless Ghost King joined the deluxe body-double package one after another. Everyone: Ji Yunya... Forget it. With a whole stack of green hats, he probably can't rest in peace. At Xie Tanyi's wedding ceremony with the Demon Venerable, five men fought so fiercely that the skies and earth changed color. Like five dogs tearing up a house, they nearly wrecked half the cultivation world. The Sword Venerable pressed his fingers to his brow and, with his usual cool elegance, said something decidedly unrestrained: "Stop fighting. I like all five of you." "To hold your hand is to remain faithful to you for this lifetime." As his words fell, phoenix blossoms once again dyed the horizon red. Everyone: Whoa! Sword Venerable Xie Tanyi really is the cultivation world's number one playboy. [September 22, 2023, screenshot taken] [Here's a super-sweet short story I'm planning to write] The Real and Fake Young Masters Come Out Together Jiang Huaiyu excelled in both character and academics, and had always been his parents' pride and joy. He never imagined that the cliche plot of switched-at-birth children would happen in his family. He was the little civet cat who had taken the crown prince's place, a fake young master who'd enjoyed someone else's privileged life for free. Fortunately, his adoptive parents weren't the awful sort you saw in TV dramas, and neither were his biological parents. His adoptive parents said cheerfully, "It's just one more son to raise. Our family has plenty of money and plenty of love. It's no problem at all." His biological parents, however, were a little worried. "The Jiang family raised our son into a young master, but their son has been raised by you into..." An untamed wild horse. That was what Jiang Huaiyu thought the first time he met Lu Mingxiao. The first time Lu Mingxiao met Jiang Huaiyu, the delicate young master was dragging a huge suitcase with one broken wheel. Sweat glistened on the boy's forehead and the tip of his nose as he peered into the courtyard. Lu Mingxiao thought a little dessert made of glutinous rice skin and red bean paste had come to life. Looking at Jiang Huaiyu, who seemed completely out of place in the shabby little courtyard, he figured the little dessert would be crying and running away within a week. Then the bedroom, divided in two by a flimsy wooden partition, could go back to normal. But he never expected Jiang Huaiyu to stay for the entire summer. Before the boy had even left, Lu Mingxiao couldn't help wanting to tear down the wall. He knocked on the thin wooden boards and asked the person sleeping on the other side if they could take the wall down. His reason was, "Jiang Xiaobao, I have a right to use the air conditioner too. You can't hog it all to yourself." The person on the other side wasn't moved at all. He gave a soft snort. "Then move over here. I'll go to your side." Lu Mingxiao: ... He was so mad he wanted to claw at the wall. Jiang Huaiyu: "Lu Dabao, tell the truth." Lu Mingxiao: "I want to see you every day. I want to see you during the day, and at night too." Later, Jiang Huaiyu took Lu Mingxiao home. Meeting his biological son for the first time, Jiang's father was nervous. He worried that his vast fortune wouldn't impress this wild, newly discovered son. Who knew Lu Mingxiao would rush up and grab his hand, calling him "Dad" with such heartfelt enthusiasm that the man was moved to tears on the spot. It wasn't until his son became his son-in-law that he realized this wild boar of a biological son had been after the little cabbage he'd raised himself. Theme: Having seen the vastness of the world, I still cherish the green of grass and trees.
