Everyday Freezing Each Other in the Sword Cultivation World

[A story set in the Eastern Continent's cultivation world, part of the Four Continents: A Gazetteer of Past and Present series.] Pairing: Xiao Xiang, a cool, dignified, honest sword immortal with black hair x Qiu Yi, a cool, proud, jade-faced underworld judge of a sword immortal with white hair Ice spirit-root sword cultivator x ice spirit-root sword cultivator [Blurb] Xiao Xiang, the sword immortal of Taiqing Sect, is eight hundred years old, handsome and accomplished, highly skilled, and still single. Cultivation doesn't actually require a partner, but unfortunately Xiao Xiang has a senior brother who loves playing matchmaker for his fellow disciples. He's practically the God of Marriage himself, unable to stand having a single junior brother or sister around, and constantly nags Xiao Xiang that he can't treat his sword like a wife. "If there were truly someone in this world like the sword in my hand, I would become cultivation partners with that person." Xiao Xiang had just used that line to turn down his senior brother's well-meaning matchmaking when he saw a white-haired Daoist lord at the sword-testing tournament between several great sects, as cold and snowy as the ice, with a swordlike aura. What a fine sword. What a fine sword. Sword-loving Xiao Xiang fell in love with the Daoist lord at first sight. · Qiu Yi, the sword immortal of Shangqing Sect, is eight hundred years old, handsome and accomplished, highly skilled, and still single. He had long since mastered the unity of man and sword. He felt it would be perfectly fine to spend his whole life with the sword in his hand. No romance, no thoughts of love, just a faster draw and more exquisite swordsmanship. Unfortunately, his fellow senior and junior brothers and sisters kept coming to pester him about being without a cultivation partner, repeatedly asking him to become theirs. Unable to bear it any longer, Qiu Yi decided to find a partner to ward off the unwanted admirers. "If only there were someone like a sword, quiet and composed, who could discuss swordsmanship with me every day." Just after Qiu Yi had this thought, he turned and spotted a black-haired Daoist priest at the sword-testing tournament, whose hidden edge made him seem as sharp as a sword. Sword-loving Qiu Yi fell in love with the Daoist priest at first sight. · The latest headline in the cultivation world: The top swordsman of Taiqing Sect and the top swordsman of Shangqing Sect hit it off at the sword-testing tournament! The busybodies of the cultivation world were stunned: Those two?! Aren't they just two blocks of ice together? How could that be? It must be a rumor! Until they saw the two sword immortals kiss each other in front of all the cultivators. Theme: Be accomplished without arrogance, humble without losing heart. Of all the paths to the Dao, diligence alone is true.
