The Tai Sui Spirit Tried to Scam the Dragon-Blooded Hero

Bad news: Li Huai died in his hospital bed.

Good news: He transmigrated into a cultivation novel from a male-oriented site, a power-leveling story about a beautiful, strong, and tragic overpowered hero, and became a Tai Sui spirit, the exact opposite of a domineering, cool, and flashy badass.

Eating Tai Sui prolongs life, and it can restore flesh to bones and bring the dead back to life. It is a treasure everyone covets.

Li Huai had neither powerful cultivation nor a strong backer. To stay alive, he seized the chance and pounced at the feet of the overpowered hero, who had been stripped of his cultivation and expelled from his sect. He staged an accident!

The Tai Sui spirit: "You knocked me over. Pay up!"

The reborn, already corrupted second-run overpowered hero: "…"

The Tai Sui spirit: "If you have no money, pay me with yourself. From today on, you're my underling."

The Tai Sui spirit, now the boss, uses his abilities to cure the overpowered hero's hidden ailments. He holds his kindness over the hero's head and orders him around, while the hero takes him along as he pretends to be weak, makes a comeback, and delivers face-slapping defeats to his enemies.

After cultivating into a mighty figure no one dares provoke, the Tai Sui spirit dusts himself off and finds a mountain to rule as its king, waiting to complete his cultivation and ascend to the Upper Realm.

Who knew that after only a few days of carefree living, the thoroughly corrupted overpowered hero would come and lay siege to his mountain gate?

The overpowered hero slices off half the mountain with one sword. The Tai Sui spirit is so scared he tears up, pitiful and helpless. "Let's talk this out. Sure, I was pretty awful before, but I don't deserve to die!"

The overpowered hero grabs him by the back of the neck and sneers. "Big brother, didn't you say I would belong to you from now on? You can't abandon me after seducing me, or Heaven will strike you down."

The Tai Sui spirit: "???"

I didn't! You're making that up! I never said anything like that!!!

The One Who Remarried After His Wife Was Killed to Prove His Dao

Lin Qingwei is delicate and beautiful, and is famous throughout the Taiyi Sword Sect as a dependent vine.

Though he only has ordinary three-element spiritual roots, his beautiful face meant he was raised from childhood under the care of Xuanhui Sword Venerable. Xuanhui personally taught and brought him up, and as soon as he came of age, the venerable married him in a proper match and made him his Dao companion.

Everyone wondered why, and whether Lin Qingwei had bewitched Xuanhui Sword Venerable and ensnared his heart.

Lin Qingwei himself wanted to ask why, too.

Ever since childhood, he had been told he would be Xuanhui's one and only Dao companion. Xuanhui cared for him in every way, protecting him like a precious treasure and never letting him suffer the slightest grievance.

Xuanhui was the only person in Lin Qingwei's world, and Lin Qingwei loved only him, wholeheartedly.

But Lin Qingwei knew that although Xuanhui Sword Venerable did love him, that special affection was mixed with calculation.

He was the tribulation of love in Xuanhui Sword Venerable's path of ruthless cultivation, destined to be cut down.

Later, a sword bearing the tassel Lin Qingwei had woven with his own hands pierced his heart. The eyes that had once been full of love now held nothing but coldness.

.

A hundred years later, Xuanhui Sword Venerable had become the foremost figure in the immortal path, while Lin Qingwei was an unknown corpse who had just come back to life and crawled out of a mass grave.

He changed his name and started over, only to discover that without Xuanhui, he could do nothing.

No one had taught him how to survive in the perilous world of cultivation. Fortunately, a wandering evil spirit was always by his side.

The evil spirit was fearsome, yet it respected and protected him, accompanying him as he stumbled through the cultivation world and shielding him from harm without asking for anything in return.

Everything about it made clear that the evil spirit loved him. Knowing he had nothing to repay it with, Lin Qingwei asked, "Would you be willing to become my Dao companion?"

He thought the evil spirit would be overjoyed, but instead it stared at him with an inscrutable, gloomy expression, seeming both resentful and ecstatic.

It said, "Qingwei, if you marry me, won't you regret it?"

Lin Qingwei neither understood nor regretted it. He married someone again.

Only when Xuanhui took the evil spirit back into himself and fused with it did Lin Qingwei learn that there had never been an evil spirit. It had always been Xuanhui Sword Venerable, wearing a mask and playing him like a puppet.

That unreserved love had been no more than a flower in a mirror, a moon reflected in water. He had never escaped Xuanhui's control.

Lin Qingwei turned and left without hesitation.

In this life, he would live only for himself.

.

Later, the sword venerable, once exalted like a god, descended from his pedestal. Jealousy and regret nearly drowned him.

Again and again, he asked Lin Qingwei, "He and I were one to begin with. Why could he do it, but I couldn't?"

Lin Qingwei simply smiled in relief. "No. You will never measure up to him."

Though you are one being, you are ultimately not the same.

Message: Even when sunk to the lowest depths, never give up. Be reborn from the ashes of adversity.
