After I Dumped My Childhood Friend and Nemesis

Thank you for adding my book to your collection! Maybe check out my next one, "What's the Difference Between the Ruthless Path and Being a Virgin?" 😿 The blurb is at the bottom.

Li Fuxue was the daughter of the leader of the Immortal Realm. Used to throwing her weight around, she never held back from picking fights or beating people up.

But every time, her childhood friend stopped her before she could get anywhere! When she raised a fist, he tattled. When she lifted a foot, he lectured her. He stuck to her like glue and wouldn't go away. It drove her mad!

Li Fuxue shot a sidelong glance at the little tail following her and sneered coldly. Hmph. Her childhood friend was just trying to provoke her.

Then one day, someone took her hand and said, "Fuxue, I think your childhood friend likes you."

Looking at the boy behind her, who had just looked away, Li Fuxue suddenly understood.

He liked her! No wonder he was always at odds with her. He'd been trying to get her attention!

Then she'd give him a chance.

"You, bring me some water!"

"You, pick me some flowers!"

But the boy always stood there with his arms folded, turning his head away with a haughty pout. "No."

Finally, furious, she slapped him. The boy's eyes flew wide, and all his bravado vanished.

Who treated the person they loved like that? She'd given him a chance, and he hadn't taken it.

"Stop following me! From now on, you and I are going our separate ways!"

After that, she went right on flirting and carousing through the streets with a bunch of spoiled young heirs.

One day, though, someone drugged her, and she collapsed on a bed, unable to move.

The curtains fluttered wildly. Someone burst in with a sword, a familiar presence pressing close as a frosty white ribbon wrapped around her.

Through her haze, she saw the boy's eyes turn red as he awkwardly laced his fingers with hers. "Does it hurt? Are you still going to fool around with them after this?"

Yin Guihe was the leader of the righteous path, a respectful and immaculate young man.

There was just one problem: his childhood friend spent every day causing trouble with his junior brothers. She was beyond saving.

The good news: She'd successfully shifted her attention elsewhere.

The bad news:

Feeling the sting on his cheek and meeting her furious, unrestrained gaze, Yin Guihe was utterly bewildered.

How had he become her new target?

Watching her walk away, and seeing those young men hovering around her all day just as he used to, Yin Guihe listened in silence as his heart shattered.

Was it too late to ask her to pick on him again?

When you can't have your childhood friend, you go mad thinking of her, and even madder with jealousy over everyone else.

Su Muchun, leader of the demonic cult, was thoroughly wicked and especially loved picking fights with the righteous. She was also fond of abducting handsome men.

"Cult Leader, should we bundle them all up and take them back?"

Hearing the handsome men packed together wailing in despair, Su Muchun was delighted. "Of course! No one's getting away!"

Then she noticed a young man among the crowd, so strikingly beautiful he looked like frost flowers beneath an autumn moon. He sat there in silence, utterly still.

When he sensed her gaze, he looked back at her with an even colder stare.

"Wait."

Su Muchun narrowed her eyes. She wasn't interested in an iceberg like him. What was the point of a wooden block?

A flash of swordlight lifted the young man's chin inch by inch. She was just about to say, "You're a dull human, so I'll magnanimously let you go," when he spoke with righteous conviction, his voice clear as shattered jade.

"Daring demonic cult! I follow the Ruthless Path of the righteous sect!"

Su Muchun's eyes lit up. "What's the difference between the Ruthless Path and being a virgin?"

She grabbed the young man by the collar, not caring that his hand had clamped around hers, and smiled brightly.

"To hell with right and wrong! Him! Tie him up, and we'll spend our wedding night together!"

*

His wedding robes were disheveled. The young man before her looked righteous and resolute, eyes closed as he endured, yet he couldn't help responding to her.

As if realizing he'd lost control, he furrowed his brow and tried with all his might to break away.

Su Muchun was furious. "Why act so high and mighty? Forget the Ruthless Path. Who'd want to touch you?"

She left him behind and slammed the door with a flourish.

Outside the hall, she gasped for breath, her legs still trembling. What was with the Ruthless Path? Why was he so intense?

Cancel! Cancel! I can't handle this. Next!

But the servant took forever to show up, his hands trembling as he held out the name tablets.

"Cult Leader, please think carefully. The Ruthless Path is supposed to be ignorant of such matters, but he actually lasted until the second half of the night..."

"You should favor him again today."

Su Muchun glared and turned over a tablet. "Shut up! He was the one dragging it out and refusing to give in."

Wait. Why did every tablet have the name Yan Yinghong on it?

"Who the hell is Yan Yinghong?!" Su Muchun roared.

A cool, clear voice immediately came from outside. "This unworthy one is the man who failed to satisfy Muchun on our wedding night, so she didn't remember me."

The male consorts cried out in alarm as someone forced the doors of the hall open.

The young man from the Ruthless Path knelt by her bed, his gaze clinging to her. "So why don't we try a few more times?"

Noticing her stiffen, the young man glanced coolly at the male consorts outside.

They wailed as if the world had ended and fled in tears. "Cult Leader, you have to take good care of him... and favor him!"

Su Muchun: ?

"Look at me." He turned her chin toward him and smiled.

"Afraid of me? I'm a righteous cultivator. Wasn't I the one you seduced?" The young man pulled open his collar, revealing the demonic markings of qi deviation.

The servant frantically gestured beside her, telling her to run.

Su Muchun: Got it. He's obsessed with the Ruthless Path and so excited he's waving his hands around.

"Sure. Beg me. Be my dog, and I'll give you what you want."

The young man really did bury his face against her and let out a few soft barks.

The servant's whole world came crashing down.

Ever since Yan Yinghong married into the demonic cult, he'd been keeping two secrets.

First, he'd been in love with his Muchun for a long time.

Second, he was actually the first disciple of the villainous Hehuan Sect, sent to unite with the demonic cult in every sense of the word.
