After I Came Around, My Wife Ran Away

[Main story complete!]

[Pre-release: “Immortal Venerable, I'm Your Mortal Enemy!” Synopsis below, please add it to your favorites!]

Chu Zhuqing went down the mountain to gain experience and rescued a mermaid at a demon market.

Chu Zhuqing, who by nature disliked demons, soon parted ways with her.

That night, as rain poured down, someone knocked on her door.

After days apart, the little mermaid had grown even thinner, looking frail and sickly. With wet eyes, she gazed at Chu Zhuqing pitifully and bit her lip, her voice trembling. “I... have nowhere else to go...”

After much hesitation, Chu Zhuqing gave in to an impulse and let her inside.

She thought she would let her stay for just one night, only one! It was charity, after all.

But the beautiful, delicate little mermaid had one trick after another up her sleeve.

Every time Chu Zhuqing tried to send her away, she would come up with some new excuse.

Today, she had a high fever and clung to Chu Zhuqing's hand, tearfully begging her not to leave.

Tomorrow, she had a headache and tugged at Chu Zhuqing's sleeve, acting pitiful as she burrowed into her arms.

The day after that was even worse! She actually... stole a kiss!

Chu Zhuqing was a disciple of the Duxian Sect, destined to follow the path of the Way of Ruthlessness!

She had to be free of desire. She had to hold firm to her Daoist heart...

Turn a blind eye and a deaf ear...

What! The little mermaid ran away!

The day the little mermaid fled, Chu Zhuqing's Daoist heart came crashing down, and she was utterly bereft.

After Mu Wanran's mermaid pearl shattered, she drifted through the human world.

Just as her heart was withering away, a disciple of the Duxian Sect rescued her.

She knew all too well how tragic the fate of a beautiful mermaid without her pearl could be.

To cling to Chu Zhuqing, her last lifeline, and make her fall for her too, she tried every trick she could think of to tempt her.

But the immortal cultivator's Daoist heart was unshakable, and she was utterly clueless about romance.

She always kept Mu Wanran at a distance, single-mindedly pursuing the Way of Ruthlessness.

Deeply disappointed, Mu Wanran returned to the sea with the older sister who had come looking for her.

The vast waters, usually so tranquil, suddenly erupted into towering waves.

When she woke again, she was bound to a strange bed.

Though she was clearly the instigator, she looked every bit like the one being bullied.

Crouching before Chu Zhuqing with tear-reddened eyes, she lifted her tear-drenched gaze, pitiful as a stray puppy with nowhere to go. “Ranran, don't you want me anymore?”

Chu Zhuqing's heart gave a little flutter, and the hesitation and concern in her eyes fell into the mischievous puppy's gaze.

The sly immortal cultivator chuckled in triumph, took the opportunity to climb onto the bed, pinned her down, and buried her face in Chu Zhuqing's neck as she whined, “Ranran, will you teach me?”

Knowing exactly what she meant, Chu Zhuqing asked softly, “Hmm?”

“Teach me how to please you.”

By morning, Chu Zhuqing looked as if she had just been fished out of the water.

The mischievous puppy, already a master at this, had worn her out again and again until she was hoarse from crying.

Twenty-three years ago, the Hengxian Sect was at the height of its power.

Wei Ningzhi, beloved disciple of its leader, was a peerless prodigy, dazzling in both talent and bearing.

She had countless admirers throughout the cultivation world.

With a bright future ahead of her, she nevertheless fell to the demonic path and committed every manner of evil.

The immortal sects denounced her one after another, their cries of condemnation never ceasing.

Led by Lan Ye Tower, the foremost sect, they stormed the demonic realm together.

Their shouts of “Destroy evil and defend the Dao!” shook the heavens.

With no way out, Wei Ningzhi would rather die than surrender, and leapt into the Fuli Prison.

The Fuli Prison was a forbidden ground for immortals and demons alike, where death was certain and survival impossible.

Everyone in the immortal sects rejoiced, except Xin Guanchen, Lan Ye Tower's chief disciple, whose face had gone pale as his life-bound sword, Jimo, fell from his hand.

Twenty-three years later, nine heavenly bolts of mystic lightning tore open the Fuli Prison.

Wei Ningzhi rose again from the dead and, in a daze, became the Qi Refining stage leader of a fallen Daoist sect.

She had planned to lie low, but circumstances wouldn't allow it.

Her name soon reached the Lotus Immortal Venerable of Lan Ye Tower.

Remembering the look in Xin Guanchen's eyes as she died, she trembled.

The two of them had never gotten along. If he caught her, she would surely die!

Her life came first, so she fled at once, ready to make a fresh start.

Then, as expected, the unexpected happened: her identity was exposed, and she was captured!

After being taken back to Lan Ye Tower, Wei Ningzhi was on edge.

Pinned to the bed with her clothes half undone, she was stunned.

When Xin Guanchen kissed her, she froze like a wooden doll.

This wasn't right, was he not supposed to kill her?

Under the thick night, Xin Guanchen's gaze was dark as he bit hard into her shoulder, fierce yet with a hint of grievance. “Run again and I'll kill you.”

Wei Ningzhi, whose arms were already sore and limp, sighed. What a mess!

She could be sure now: the one who fell to the demonic path at Luya Cliff was Xin Guanchen.

After all that hatred, all I resent is that you don't love me
