After the Dragon-Pride Hero Gave Me Away

I knew Qi Shechuan's heart wasn't with me. After all, I wasn't the one who'd been engaged to him in the first place.

Back then, his cultivation was weak and he was a nobody. His father couldn't bear to send his eldest son away, so he sent me, his illegitimate child, instead.

To be precise, Qi Shechuan's heart wasn't with anyone. All he cared about were secret realms, magical treasures, and cultivation.

I knew that.

But when he told me, "Fu Xiao, from now on, go serve Immortal Lord Duqiu," I was still a little shocked.

So after more than a hundred years together, from humble beginnings to the peak, I really was worth nothing in Qi Shechuan's eyes.

I knew what people out there said about me.

My birth was less than respectable, and my face was my only redeeming feature. I'd seen it all: those Immortal Lords and elders looking at me with contempt while their eyes lingered with greed. Now that Qi Shechuan had casually given me away, it only confirmed that I was nothing more than a plaything for anyone to use and abuse.

I didn't want to be a plaything.

I'd believed love could grow over time. I'd believed in family. I couldn't believe in them anymore.

Everyone in the Nine Provinces knew that Immortal Lord Shechuan, high above the clouds, would never give his heart to a mere plaything. Yan Fuxiao had foolishly left Sword Venerable Shen Duqiu, and in no time, the jealous and the covetous came knocking in droves.

In the Netherworld, Qi Shechuan found that gentle, pliant young man with the soft body. Wearing half a white bone mask and holding a soul-summoning banner, he was personally sending those nuisances to the afterlife.

"Fuxiao..." The haughty Immortal Lord Shechuan froze in a daze. Yan Fuxiao glanced back indifferently.

A little ghost child was sitting right on his shoulder! The tiny ghost asked curiously, "Daddy, who is that?"

Those sharp brows and familiar eyes... This was clearly their child! Qi Shechuan stood rooted to the spot!

Yan Fuxiao's reply held neither sorrow nor joy: "A stranger."
