My Dao Companion Has Been Dead for a Thousand Years

A thousand years ago, to stop the Demon Lord from destroying the world, Divine Venerable Xuanhui sealed him beneath Dragonbone Mountain. Xuanhui then died of exhaustion, turned into an egg, and was buried at the foot of the mountain.

A thousand years later, Yun Chuxian, a descendant of the dragon clan, wanders into Dragonbone Mountain, where he discovers the ancient sealing incantation and the sleeping egg.

His master tells him with an inscrutable expression, “One of those inside is your destined calamity, and the other is your fated partner.”

So Yun Chuxian guards the egg day and night, waiting for his destined partner to return to the world of the living.

One day, Yun Chuxian is delighted to discover cracks in the eggshell. Before he can get closer for a better look, the sealing incantation suddenly collapses. A sharp sword pierces his chest, and as pain surges through him, he clutches the egg tightly against his chest.

He looks up and sees the Demon Lord Ying Wusheng standing before him, eyes bloodshot and brimming with murderous intent. “Give him to me.”

Yun Chuxian: “...”

He never got to meet his destined partner. Instead, his destined calamity showed up first.

The first thing Ying Wusheng does upon returning to the world of the living is try to shatter the soul of his old nemesis once and for all, ensuring they can never be reborn.

Unfortunately, the sealing curse is still burning his soul, adding a constant, inescapable torment to his path of revenge.

Yun Chuxian's arrival is both an accident and a pleasant surprise.

While fighting over his nemesis's egg, Ying Wusheng has to admit that he's fallen for him.

To Ying Wusheng, Yun Chuxian is handsome, cool, and divine. He even eases the curse that burns him constantly. He's perfect in every way and exactly his type.

The only downside is that he carries around an egg containing his nemesis. That is seriously annoying.

And the thought that he's still mourning his nemesis makes it even worse.

A real man should dare to pursue love. In the middle of another fierce fight between the two, Yun Chuxian has just thrust his sword into Ying Wusheng's chest when Ying Wusheng pins him to the bed.

The burning in every limb and bone subsides. Ying Wusheng sighs in comfort and strokes Yun Chuxian's tense, moist red lips, murmuring, “Your destined partner has been dead for a thousand years. Who knows if he'll even hatch? Why not give me a chance?”
