My Disciple Could Turn Dark at Any Moment

Lin Jiran was a renowned beauty in the cultivation world, cool and aloof, with profound cultivation and an upright bearing. After traveling the world for many years, she finally returned to her sect, only to remember that the sect had assigned her an apprentice.

The boy had grown taller than her and become quite slender and handsome. But with no one to teach him, he had no cultivation at all and was bullied everywhere.

Suspecting something was amiss, she looked through his textbooks and discovered that one of them was actually a storybook. The world they lived in was a book, and she and her apprentice were its protagonists.

According to the story, her apprentice would eventually fall into darkness, slaughter countless living beings, and develop an improper attachment to her, locking her up and doing all sorts of things to her day after day.

Furious, she hurled the book at her apprentice's face. She failed to notice that Yan Mu had just caught a glimpse of the page about him doing all sorts of things with his master. He tossed the hot potato to the floor, his face turning beet red.

She had always been cold-hearted and never believed in the absurd idea of winning someone over with love, so she immediately expelled Yan Mu from the sect.

But no matter what she did, she couldn't get rid of him. He stuck to her like glue all day, serving her tea and water, massaging her shoulders and legs.

Yan Mu argued earnestly, "Even if Master won't acknowledge me as her apprentice, I'd be content just to serve you by your side as a servant."

Seeing that Yan Mu showed no signs of turning evil, harbored none of the feelings described in the book, and had no dealings with unsavory people, Lin Jiran gradually relaxed.

But no one saw the coldness beneath his smile, or the irritability and malice that occasionally surfaced.

Later, her immortal meridians were destroyed, leaving her unable to cultivate ever again. The day her well-behaved apprentice found out, he finally turned evil.

He went completely mad. "Master, why can't you see me, even after I've been by your side for so long? You lived with Martial Uncle for two years, yet you were willing to give your life for him?"

Though Lin Jiran had become a cripple, she coldly rejected him. "Because I knew you would become like this one day."

Yan Mu's eyes reddened as he gripped her throat, his voice hoarse. "Then don't blame your apprentice for defying his master."

-

During his years in the sect, anyone could bully Yan Mu, and no one ever stood up for him.

He hated everyone, including the master he had only ever glimpsed from afar.

She was highly cultivated, beautiful and aloof, and respected by all. Yet she had neglected her apprentice for years. If not for that, he wouldn't have lived such a miserable life.

So when Lin Jiran tried to send him away, he acted pitiful and innocent, playing the part of a good apprentice. Behind her back, he plotted how to kill her.

As time passed, his murderous intent gradually faded, turning into an indescribable feeling. His urge to possess her grew more and more obvious.

If only she would stay away from Martial Uncle, he wouldn't mind being an ordinary, well-behaved disciple.

But everything written in that book seemed to be a fate he could not escape.

[Bonus Scene]

Yan Mu wanted to secretly learn all of Lin Jiran's skills, so that one day he could make her beg for mercy beneath his sword.

He slipped into her room when no one was around and opened a locked cabinet. There were no secret manuals inside, only an assortment of women's underwear.

Just then, his master returned. "What are you doing in my room?"

Yan Mu hurriedly shut the cabinet, his heart pounding. "I-I came in to look for you, Master. I didn't know you weren't here."

That night, he had a vivid, sensual dream, even more explicit than the page he had once seen. His master really did beg him for mercy again and again.

The next day, he stared at the soiled bedding, at a loss.

A resilient, scheming overachiever heroine x an arrogant, sharp-tongued young master

A new junior sister named Ling Yue joined the Qingwei Sect.

She had an exceptionally beautiful face and cared little for her appearance, devoting herself solely to cultivation. She worked so hard that everyone else was driven to despair.

She was always doing all sorts of outrageous things, including monopolizing cultivation resources and claiming all the immortal herbs on the back mountain, yet she was never punished.

Rumor had it that she looked remarkably like Tu Shanyue, the sect leader's wife. The sect leader's wife had been in seclusion for many years, but remained the entire sect's white moonlight, so everyone was especially lenient with the junior sister.

The junior sister and the new junior brother seemed to have an unusual relationship.

Lu Xingzhou was arrogant and picked fights with everyone, but time and again, Ling Yue got the better of him.

According to one disciple, they once saw Ling Yue pointing at the junior brother's nose and scolding him. Then he suddenly kissed her, leaving her speechless as she awkwardly lowered her hand.

What they didn't know was that the junior sister and Lu Xingzhou had known each other before she joined the sect.

Heaven gave her a chance to start over. Freed from a body that could neither move nor speak, she was picked up by Lu Xingzhou.

They pretended not to know each other and joined the Qingwei Sect, cultivating by day and killing by night.

They also had no idea that she was the sect leader's wife.

On the day she finally achieved her goal of marrying Shen Xi, the greatest cultivator in the immortal sects, every meridian in her body was transferred to another woman. She became a living corpse and lay alone in loneliness for seven years.

She pushed herself to the brink every day so she could defeat Shen Xi with her own hands.

At last, Shen Xi noticed her, the substitute for his white moonlight, and proposed to her in front of everyone.

Lu Xingzhou was so jealous he could have shaken the heavens. "You'd better prove you're better than me before you can marry her, ex-husband."

As Shen Xi and everyone else watched in shock, the junior sister drew her sword and pointed it at him.

"I am the unlucky ex-wife you kept 'in seclusion' for seven years. Today, we fight to the death. Either you die, or I live!"
