On the first day Yun Xiang transmigrated into the cultivation world, three shards of glass were still stuck in her left shoulder.
She squinted through her 500-degree myopia and found blood on the hilt of Xie Wuya's sword. This "gentle" immortal had just slaughtered his way through a phantom formation, and was now smiling as he wiped his blade.
"Miss Yun, your life belongs to me now." She refused to be intimidated.
He taught her how to kill spirit insects, so she turned around and sprinkled poison into his tea. He took her to identify spirit herbs, so she picked his locks that very night and searched every corner of his study. Until she stumbled upon a secret chamber, its walls covered in spirit-devouring formations, with her birth date carved into the central node.
"Were you raising me to make an elixir from my body?" She smashed the formation's core and sneered. "Xie Wuya, you might as well just call me Dad."
The day she reunited with Gu Qingyang, her boyfriend, possessed by demonic energy, shielded her from the heavenly tribulation and said hoarsely, "Xiangxiang, I'll send you home."
Hearing this, Xie Wuya crushed a jade slip and pinned her against an alchemy furnace in the pouring rain.
"Home? Every drop of your blood shares my lineage. If you want to go back, then go back into my flesh and blood!"
Later, when the wormhole reopened, Yun Xiang clutched two talismans.
One was stained with Gu Qingyang's blood: "If you can go back, please check on... my parents."
The other was wrapped around half of Xie Wuya's golden core, its writing ragged and fierce: "If you leave, cut out my heart and take it with you."
