After Devouring My Obsessive, Vicious Nemesis

/Upcoming: Who Would Still Be Married to You After Being Reborn?! Past-Life Spouses, This Life: A Clingy Senior Brother?

The first time Shi Yao met Fu Yunyou, she knew he was destined to be the bane of her existence: someone who clashed with her, a sworn enemy.

Sure enough, he splashed soup all over her the moment they met, then burned down her house on the very day she bought him.

She was so furious that she locked the ghost in a tower for seven days and nights, starving and thirsting him like a falcon being tamed, then set up formations to torment him in all sorts of ways.

Only after the tower finally fell silent did she open the door.

But instead of a ghost who had learned to submit, she found the entire tower covered in rows upon rows of the words, "I want you dead!"

Then a shadow pounced on her, and teeth clamped hard around her neck.

The twelve-year-old Qian Kun Saint had been bitten by a grown, unruly ghost.

Shi Yao tried all sorts of ways to outsmart and outfight Fu Yunyou, but every time she ended up losing her temper, and things turned violent.

Her senior brother told her the best way to win someone over was to treat him well. She took this to heart and immediately changed tactics.

She began speaking gently and asking after his well-being, bringing the ghost delicious food and pretty clothes. Whenever someone bullied him, she was the first to stand up for him.

She let him secretly observe her training, taught him to cultivate qi by hand, took him to watch the fireworks festival, wished him a happy birthday at midnight, coaxed him into kissing her, and spent the night with him.

Shi Yao had only meant to tame an unruly ghost, but she ended up killing two birds with one stone. After taking him completely for herself, she used the ghost's flesh, bones, blood, and meridians to break through to the next level!

-

But even when Fu Yunyou caused a terrible disaster and she reunited with him in the rain, she still couldn't understand why he had hated her from beginning to end.

-

After Fu Yunyou died, Shi Yao's cultivation plummeted, and she lost all her former glory.

She tried everything, but instead of waiting for the ghost to be reborn, she found his son.

Shi Yao: "Since you came looking for me with my little sword, you should call me Mother."

The shrunken Fu Yunyou: ???

The little ghost was very obedient and sensible. He combed her hair, did her makeup, washed clothes, cooked meals, and called her "Mother" at every turn. The only thing was, he didn't dare sleep alone at night.

"Mother, I'm scared. I want to sleep with you."

Maybe it was her imagination, but whenever she invited him into her room, she saw a triumphant smile at the corner of his lips.

In the blink of an eye, the little ghost had grown up. His face looked eighty percent like Fu Yunyou's, but his personality was completely different: fragile, sensitive, and suspicious!

"Were you this sad when Fu Yunyou died?"

"Fu Yunyou secretly kept your undergarments. Doesn't that make you angry?"

"Do you have a habit of picking people up?"

"I have a fever. Take care of me."

Shi Yao sensed something was wrong. "Are you really Fu Yunyou's son?"

The ghost, on the verge of having his secret identity exposed, leaned over her. The veins stood out on the arm pinning down both her wrists, and he whispered with the domineering pressure unique to a grown man, "I've never been his son. So, can I kiss Senior Sister openly now?"

-

Fu Yunyou spent ten years exhausting every last bit of luck he had to reach Shi Yao's side.

For four years, he poured all his resentment, awkwardness, and unwillingness onto the girl.

He thought he was fighting against an unjust world, but in the end, he stood on the opposite side from her, and they went their separate ways.

When he reunited with her in the rain, he finally understood: he was willing to be her slave for the rest of his life, as long as he could serve at her feet.

Later, he rebuilt his body and returned to her side, this time under the identity of her "son."
