My Blind Date Has My Grandmaster's Secret Identity

[Tough, Straight-Laced Heroine x Secretly Pining Hero with a One-Sided Crush]

[The person he secretly loves is the moon in the sky, while he's merely a toy to pass the time.]

After Qing He emerged from seclusion, a twist of fate led her to take someone else's place as an outer-sect disciple.

She thought it was just a lark, but unexpectedly discovered the true reason no cultivator in the world could ascend.

She also happened to gain a baffling blind date.

Shen Lingke wasn't very satisfied with his blind date. He found fault with everything about her: she was dull and not gentle enough, for example, and she liked drinking.

That is, until she stood like a crane with a long sword in hand, spun the blade into a rainbow-colored arc, and casually shattered the teaching elder's shield, along with all his prejudices.

--That is how a sword cultivator should be.

Until Shen Lingke unexpectedly learned that his blind date had a smooth forehead, while the reclusive founding master of their sect, who had never appeared in public, had a red mole between her brows.

But by then, she had already gone ahead of everyone else, venturing into danger alone to forge a path for all under Heaven.

When Ning Mingshan woke up, Xie Yun was carrying her by the neck.

After figuring out what was going on, she realized she seemed to have become her ex-husband Xie Yun's lifebound sword.

Wait, shouldn't she be lying in a grave?

But the touch of Xie Yun's palm against her neck felt utterly real.

Warm and dry, with the roughness of the calluses he'd developed from practicing the sword.

...So she'd started sharing senses with Xie Yun's lifebound sword?

--

Xie Yun frowned. Lately, whenever he practiced, his lifebound sword had been acting strangely "mischievous."

He reached out, pulled it back, and pressed it onto his lap again before settling into meditation.

Strengthen the foundation and nourish the essence. Clear the source and deepen the flow.

Only by becoming one with the sword could one's cultivation advance.

Ning Mingshan could only accept the invasion of his spiritual energy, passively following the rhythm of his breathing.

With a blush, she glared at him from his embrace, where she was pinned in place.

What Xie Yun thought was becoming one with the sword felt no different to her from dual cultivation.

And he was diligent, practicing every single day without fail.

--

The day Xie Yun learned she was the sword spirit, he gripped her by the neck. Ning Mingshan thought she was about to die.

But what came was Xie Yun's scorching, irresistible kiss.

At last, Xie Yun let her catch her breath, then said softly,

"I've been searching for you every day. All this time, you were right beside me."

"You knew that... that I missed you, but you wouldn't tell me?"

"I thought you were dead. I thought I'd never see you again."

Ning Mingshan heard no anger or resentment in his voice, only hurt.
