Shen Qu Fei and Qin Nian Ci were fellow disciples, deeply devoted to each other. After becoming cultivation partners, they treated each other with respect and made an exemplary couple in the immortal world.
Together, they vanquished demons, subdued evil, brought peace to all corners of the land, and formed many good connections.
Until the day Qin Nian Ci was besieged by the immortal sects and died in Shen Qu Fei's arms.
Holding Qin Nian Ci's body, Shen Qu Fei thought back on all their past deeds of punishing evil and promoting good, and wondered what any of it had meant.
So Shen Qu Fei wandered the world, granting every request made of him.
He gave away all his possessions, exhausted his cultivation, and even gave his eyes to someone.
People were greedy, suspicious, and deceitful. The senior brother's claim that good deeds would be rewarded was nothing but empty words.
After all he had done, where was his reward?
When the Demon Lord Lian Qi heard that Shen Qu Fei, once the foremost figure of the righteous path, had fallen on hard times, he went out of his way to kick him while he was down.
They say a man looks his best dressed in mourning. Looking at the sorrowful, blind widower, Lian Qi clicked his tongue in admiration and felt desire stir.
Wasn't he supposed to grant every request?
Lian Qi adored beautiful men and asked to share a night of passion.
The beauty let him kiss him indifferently, tears welling in the corners of his eyes. Lian Qi licked the tears away and laughed mockingly.
Shen Qu Fei attained enlightenment overnight. As for what happened that night,
Lian Qi never said a word.
After that, however, Shen Qu Fei cut ties with the immortal sects. His temperament changed completely: he became capricious and spent the year guarding Mount Kunlun, paying no heed to worldly affairs.
The good news: after exhausting himself, Shen Qu Fei found a glimmer of a chance to bring Qin Nian Ci back to life.
The bad news: he needed Lian Qi's help.
Someone asked whether he and Lian Qi were on good terms.
Shen Qu Fei: "We've slept together."
Then it's as good as settled.
Remembering that night, Shen Qu Fei silently shook his head. That might not be the case.
But for Qin Nian Ci, Shen Qu Fei still went to Lian Qi.
Lian Qi: "Sure. Let me sleep with you, and I'll agree."
So Shen Qu Fei beat Lian Qi up.
The Great Way begins after the heart has died; everlasting grief flows like water.
