After Becoming My Archrival's Fated Sword

Previously titled "Evil Soul"

Yanzhi was an evil spirit who had wandered for a long time. She was vicious by nature and had once ravaged the immortal sects for centuries, even slaughtering an entire city.

Later, she was annihilated under Heaven's punishment.

.

Yanzhi thought she was dead, but when she opened her eyes again, she had possessed a vicious sword and become its spirit. By a twist of fate, she became the divine lord Chang Huai's fated sword, and the calamity destined to kill him.

The divine lord cared for all living beings, but she did not. She loved only herself.

If only one of them could live, she would choose herself.

So, when the world fell into chaos because of the heart demon and Chang Huai offered himself as a sacrifice, Yanzhi stood by and did nothing.

The Bodhi Heart asked her, "Aren't you two partners?"

Yanzhi answered softly, "We are partners. But he's searching for a way for all living beings to survive, while I'm searching for a way to stay alive."

She schemed to make the heart demon take her place as the new evil god, accept the calamity threatening all living beings, and die for her.

She also schemed to make Chang Huai accept his fated death, so he would die alone.

But Yanzhi had calculated everything, except her own heart.

Watching Chang Huai's divine soul about to dissipate, she remembered his words, "I can't bear to see you suffer," and finally softened.

She charged forward with her sword, protecting all living beings and, in the end, saving a few fragments of Chang Huai's soul as well.

.

Yanzhi thought that was the end of it, but the power of her accumulated merit landed upon her and broke a crack in the seal on her soul.

Then she remembered what had happened a thousand years ago:

The one who had killed her was Chang Huai.

He had killed her, completed his accumulation of merit, and ascended to godhood.

It turned out that Yanzhi and Chang Huai were mortal enemies who could never coexist.

Yanzhi laughed in fury.

In that case, she lowered her eyes to look at the fragments of Chang Huai's soul scattered across the Six Realms. Then she would...

Find his reincarnation and kill him with her own hands.

.

Chang Huai and Yanzhi were born together from primordial chaos.

Chang Huai was born from radiant light and governed every joy in the world. Yanzhi was born from darkness and governed every evil desire of all living beings.

Later, the Heavenly Dao demanded that Chang Huai kill Yanzhi to prevent the Six Realms from falling into chaos.

Chang Huai believed Yanzhi had done nothing wrong and did not deserve to die.

But fate could not be defied.

So he decided to trade his life for hers.

If Heaven would not spare Yanzhi, he would.

If Heaven did not love Yanzhi, he would.

Upcoming novel: "After I Kidnapped the Young Master of the Hehuan Sect"

Chun Xu was someone with no past. Even her name had been given to her later by her master.

She asked him, "Why Chun Xu?"

Her master stroked her head and said, "Spring is lovely, and it is the beginning of everything."

From then on, she was called Chun Xu and became the youngest disciple of the head of Jinyue Mountain.

Later, she was often jolted awake by nightmares and tormented by a heart demon all day long, though she did not know why.

She clearly remembered nothing at all.

She went to ask her master, who said, "If you've forgotten the troubles of the past, then don't dwell on them or think about them."

So she stopped asking about her past and sealed herself away in the forbidden grounds to cultivate.

A hundred years later.

When Chun Xu emerged from seclusion, spring had arrived. All things were coming back to life, and plants were sprouting and growing.

It was just like the day she had joined Jinyue Mountain.

Alone, she went to see her master once again.

After leaving her master's hall, Chun Xu went to the library. Three days later, she went to see her second senior brother.

Qin Tingye was playing Go with A Tuo. When he saw Chun Xu, he jumped up in delight. "A Xu, you've come out of seclusion!"

Chun Xu nodded, then immediately asked, "Senior Brother Qin, who is the most handsome man in Wanning?"

Qin Tingye had never imagined that their most cold-hearted and wooden junior sister at Jinyue Mountain would ask such a question.

He didn't understand, but he answered truthfully.

"Xiang Yan, the young master of the Hehuan Sect."

.

All the disciples of Jinyue Mountain knew they had a junior sister who had spent a hundred years cultivating in seclusion in the forbidden grounds, practicing the emotionless path as a spear cultivator.

Later, they heard that she had gone to the library on the very day she left seclusion. Everyone praised her diligence.

But they never expected that three days later, their junior sister would go down the mountain and forcibly kidnap the young master of the Hehuan Sect.

.

Xiang Yan had been drinking with someone the night before. He woke up with a hangover, pulled on his clothes, and had barely left his bedchamber when someone sealed his spiritual power and carried him off.

He was bored anyway, so he went along without resisting. Just like that, he was locked up in a residence.

He thought the person who kidnapped him must want something from him, but the junior sister from Jinyue Mountain merely sat across from him each day, staring at him in a daze.

After a month of being watched, he finally couldn't take it anymore. He tossed down the Go piece in his hand and asked, "What exactly do you want?"

"To look at you."

"Why look at me?"

"Master said I should have human desires." Chun Xu answered honestly. "A book says the most beautiful face can awaken desire in a person."

"That's not human desire. That's lust. You've been misled by the book."

Chun Xu said seriously, "Books in the library can't be wrong."

Xiang Yan leaned back and asked, "What's the book called?"

"Spring Passion."

Xiang Yan paused. Looking at the serious Chun Xu sitting across from him, he suddenly smiled. "That's right. Books in the library can't be wrong. That's human desire."

Of course. How could his wife's book be wrong?

P.S. The male lead belongs to the Hehuan Sect, but his body doesn't.
