[Good-for-nothing & Sword Spirit] (Mischievous and eccentric x Patient and accommodating)

📜 The memoir of a certain disciple of the Hehuan Sect:

Rumor has it that on a certain day in a certain month of a certain year, that useless good-for-nothing from Lingji Sect who couldn't cultivate ran off with the sword of a swordsmanship genius.

📜 According to the records of an anonymous rock:

I saw it with my own eyes. That guy Yinhe Sword quietly pulled off something huge, raising himself a sword cultivator wife terrifyingly powerful beyond words.

[Blurb One]

In a cave, beside a fire.

A man dressed in black silently wrung the water from a pink outer robe.

He was carefully doing something utterly at odds with his cold demeanor.

Shen Yichu wore only her underclothes. Sitting beside him, she poked his cheek and asked with a troubled look, "Martial Uncle said that a bonded life sword and its master are one. Once they form a pact, wherever the master goes, the sword goes, and the sword will remain loyal forever."

"You didn't even tell him you could take human form, and instead you're with me."

"Doesn't that count as betrayal?"

The man pressed his lips together. For the first time, he dared to pull the girl into his arms, soothing her softly. "Don't be afraid. I'll take care of it."

Only later did Shen Yichu learn that his idea of taking care of it was to stake his sword body and sword soul, cut a bloody path through the entire cultivation world, and fight for the freedom to love her.

Yinhe was a sword, one that had lived for hundreds of years and passed through the hands of countless masters. He was also a powerful sword with a terrible reputation.

Rumor had it that Yinhe brought misfortune to his masters and could never give birth to a sword spirit. His masters never lived past the age of thirty.

Countless people coveted him, but all turned away in fear.

Yinhe would never forget.

When his master once again discarded him after losing a ridiculous wager, his sword soul had nearly been reduced to ashes. Then a dusty little girl... dug him out from the foot of the barren Lie Cliff.

She told him, "Come home with me. I'll treat you well."

*

Yinhe (dejected): "I bring misfortune to my master. Stay away from me."

Shen Yichu (throwing herself at him): "They say I'm cursed, that I brought my parents to ruin. We're a match made in heaven!"

[Blurb Two]

Jiujiang, the keeper of the library, recently discovered a curious matter in the sect!

The junior sister who usually lazed around the sect had started coming to the library before dawn to look up books.

Could it be that she had finally decided to inherit her master's legacy and make Lingji Sect great?

Jiujiang held back his excitement, his hands trembling as he grinned. "What books do you want to read, Junior Sister? Your senior brother can find them for you~"

But the girl's eyes lit up as she asked with a smile, "Ninth Senior Brother, do we have any manuals on stealing a cultivator's life sword?"

Jiujiang: ???

My dear junior sister! Who taught you these crooked tricks? Tell me, and I'll go chop them up!!!
