My Beauty Made Me the Bane of the Cultivation World!

Here's what happened. Su Tong was simply too beautiful: sword-shaped brows, bright eyes, graceful and handsome, charming and dashing, with an alluring, wild beauty that made it hard to tell whether she was male or female. But she was sickly.

Ever since she transmigrated here, she had been coughing up blood three times a day. Elixirs kept her alive, but it looked like she didn't have many days left.

One day, her martial uncle called her over and made a difficult decision.

"Your senior brother has been getting more and more out of hand lately. He's actually fallen for a demon woman from the Demon Realm. Tong'er, go talk to him and bring him back to his senses." The hidden meaning was perfectly clear: use your beauty to seduce her senior brother and bring him around.

"Well... Martial Uncle, I don't think my face is very appealing to male disciples." After all, she was even more captivating than most men. Surely...

Her martial uncle leaned back, wearing an expression that said, "What nonsense are you talking about?" "Just go. If you succeed, I'll give you a Celestial Immortal Herb."

The Celestial Immortal Herb was named for the way it made you feel light and carefree, as comfortable as an immortal. In reality, it was a magical herb that eased pain. Su Tong badly needed it to relieve the pain that seemed to reach her bones, but since too much of it was poisonous, its use was restricted.

The Celestial Immortal Herb was also extremely precious, practically impossible to buy, and difficult to find.

When Su Tong heard her martial uncle say this, she understood that she probably didn't have much time left. This was just an excuse he had found for her.

As for her senior brother... Well, that cold-faced sword cultivator had unexpectedly fallen for Lin Meier, the bewitchingly beautiful demon woman from the Demon Realm. Maybe he was just a closet flirt.

The odds of her beauty trap succeeding were zero. She was only going through the motions so her martial uncle would give her the Celestial Immortal Herb.

That night, beneath the moonlight, Su Tong invited her senior brother on a boat ride. She played a tune on the qin and shared half a cup of wine with him.

On the way back from the boat, she was weak from coughing up blood and leaned against her senior brother for a while to steady herself.

They said fewer than ten words to each other the whole time, and there was no exchange of flirtatious glances.

But the next day, her martial uncle happily brought her the Celestial Immortal Herb himself. He also said that her senior brother had thought things through and cut ties with the demon woman.

Su Tong: "..." Martial Uncle, you should at least make your act more convincing. Then maybe she'd believe you.

Still, somehow, not long afterward, Lin Meier of the Demon Realm declared that she would slaughter every stinking man under heaven, especially sword cultivators. One came, one died. Two came, both died. She would show no mercy!

Su Tong: "..." Did she really break them up?

Even so... she really had only been going through the motions. But strangely, after that, her health seemed to improve a little. She didn't hurt as badly as before.

Not long after, the great elder of a neighboring sect came to see her master. He hemmed and hawed for half the night before finally explaining the situation.

He wanted Su Tong to break up a doomed romance. His second disciple had gone mad and fallen in love with the junior sister of a sect that was their sworn enemy.

"This... This won't do. That sect keeps sending word to mock us, and the other elders look at me more and more strangely. Sigh! That wretched disciple. Now we can only rely on Tong'er. Whether she succeeds or not, I'll give her three Celestial Immortal Herbs."

Her master couldn't withstand the neighboring sect's great elder's pleas and agreed. But he only asked Su Tong to take a casual trip to the neighboring sect and deliver a letter to his friend while she was there. As for the beauty trap, he decided to leave it alone.

Su Tong did exactly that. She went to the neighboring sect to enjoy the scenery, but never even met the senior brother who had supposedly fallen for his enemy's junior sister.

She only played a tune on the qin as she drifted down the river. She remembered hearing a flute answer her from afar, but didn't know who was playing it.

Before long, that sect's junior sister declared that she was going to kill so-and-so. That so-and-so was the second senior brother from the neighboring sect.

Su Tong felt another sudden easing in her body. This time, even her master noticed that she had a slim chance of recovering.

So, in order to stay alive, she took up the principle that breaking up one couple was better than none. Little by little, she became the reviled scourge of the cultivation world!
