I’d Rather Be Widowed Than Break Up

Ning Yaxin had a sweet and loving cultivation partner.

They had met when they were young and supported each other through the hardest years. It took them three hundred years to go from lowly rogue cultivators to entering the Huiming Hall together, where they were known as the Two Venerables.

On the day they sealed their bond and married, Fu Baiyuan swore to him: “In this life and every life to come, we will always be together, our souls entwined and our fates bound. Our love will fill the heavens, enduring in life and unbroken in death.”

Ning Yaxin was deeply moved and swore on the spot to be his cultivation partner for life.

Later, Fu Baiyuan took in a disciple. He cast aside his usual reserve and coldness, practically willing to give the boy his heart and soul just to make him smile. When the disciple fought the world, Fu Baiyuan patiently cleaned up after him. When the disciple fell for some immortal maiden, Fu Baiyuan went out of his way to arrange opportunities for them, running around without a single complaint.

Ning Yaxin was stunned. Ning Yaxin's world came crashing down. Ning Yaxin's heart turned to still water.

He spat out a crisp melon seed shell and thought:

If I'd known things would turn out this way, I should have killed that idiot from the start. Then I would only have to mourn a dead cultivation partner, instead of a dead love.

As it turned out, the disciple Fu Baiyuan raised was an ungrateful traitor who had turned against his master.

The two fought, one died and the other was wounded. Just as Ning Yaxin was getting caught up in the show, that calamity suddenly raised a hand toward him...

Hundreds of bolts of heavenly lightning came crashing down. Ning Yaxin, who had been watching from the sidelines, was reduced to ashes.

When he opened his eyes again, time had turned back to when he and Fu Baiyuan were struggling to make ends meet at an obscure little sect. This time, Ning Yaxin resolved to mend his ways and nip the troublemaker in the bud.

Fu Baiyuan had a cultivation partner he cherished beyond measure.

They had met when they were young and weathered countless hardships together, supporting each other through it all. He had long ago sworn in his heart to treat his partner the same for all eternity.

Who could have known that after their wedding, an outsider from beyond the heavens would take over his body, while his own soul was thrown into the body of a young man? His cultivation was wiped out, and he had to start from scratch.

After countless hardships, he finally made a name for himself. Then he heard from afar that the Two Venerables of Huiming Hall had long since grown apart in all but name. The outsider from beyond the heavens traveled thousands of miles in his body and said that Fu Baiyuan had exceptional potential, offering to take him as a disciple.

Fu Baiyuan raised his eyes and heard a strange voice inside the other person's body:

[No doubt about it, he's the Child of Destiny. Host, just make sure to feed him well and take good care of him, then cling tightly to his coattails. After that, there won't be anything to fear in this cultivation world!]

Fu Baiyuan lowered his head in silence, murderous intent surging in his heart.

Later, he finally managed to kill the outsider and take his partner back. But he watched helplessly as a hundred bolts of tribulation lightning descended when the System disappeared. When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to his youth.

He swore to himself that this time he would treat his partner twice as well and make up for all the years they had lost.

Then he realized... his partner seemed to dislike him a little.

After Ning Yaxin ambushed him from behind for the eleventh time, nearly leaving him to die in the jaws of a demon beast, Fu Baiyuan gripped the short blade he had been using to fight the beast, dropped to his knees with a thud, and wept into the bleak, cold wind.

He choked out, “Do you... not want me anymore?”
