This Is Absurd: I Took Over My Archrival's Body

[Complete]

A lofty, noble immortal cultivator who cares for the world, gong x a scheming, cunning demonic cultivator, shou

After the siege of Wufang City ended, Lan Mingjue noticed that some things were off.

A male courtesan he'd never seen before came to demand payment for his services. A junior who admired him called him a murderer.

Those he'd gotten along with during the battle called him shameless for trying to seduce their sect leader's wife.

Worse still, he really did have a red woman's bellyband in his arms.

But he hadn't done any of those things.

That's when he learned that the demonic cultivator Hua Yueying hadn't actually been destroyed body and soul. He'd hidden inside Lan Mingjue's body.

The two schemed against each other to seize control of the body, but in the end, neither gained the upper hand. Several times, they nearly died.

With no other choice, they set aside their grievances for the time being, sharing life and death as they adapted to each other's presence and tolerated one another's little flaws, until they could find a suitable body for Hua Yueying.

Jueming secretly vowed that once Hua Yueying was separated from his body, he'd grind the man to dust, ridding himself and all living beings of this menace.

Jueming traveled across the great regions of the world and finally found warm jade, the best material for crafting a body.

After the soul-splitting was complete, the two fought bitterly and officially went their separate ways.

News that the demon had emerged again threw the entire cultivation world into turmoil.

Everyone expected the ruthless, hot-tempered demon to unleash another storm of bloodshed across the cultivation world. To their surprise, the demon suddenly became reasonable.

The moment the demon resurfaced, Taixu Sect issued a kill order. The sect's young master even declared that Hua Yueying could only die at his own hands. Anyone who dared attack him would be making an enemy of the entire Taixu Sect.

The cultivators all assumed Jueming hated Hua Yueying to the core.

Later, a rumor appeared from who knew where: Mingjue, always so aloof and self-important, had secretly climbed into the demon palace under cover of night.

The cultivators didn't believe it at first, but as the number of witnesses grew, they finally understood.

Thinking back to Taixu Sect's kill order, it was no kill order at all. It was an obvious display of favoritism and a public declaration of love.

I wanted with all my heart to lead you onto the righteous path, but in the end, I became a demon for you.
