To Get Home, I Must Kill My Husband and Attain the Dao

[Blurb]

I was halfway through my shift when the System suddenly abducted Shi Wuxiang and threw him into an unfamiliar cultivation world, where he had no one. He could only go home by completing his mission.

[System Mission: Conquer Xie Xiaozhi.]

Xie Xiaozhi was handsome, refined, and otherworldly, untouched by the mundane. His swordsmanship was peerless, and he was the cultivation world's most promising half-step Tribulation Transcendence expert.

And Shi Wuxiang was a fourth direct disciple whom Xie Xiaozhi had taken in after noticing him for reasons no one could explain. He had ordinary talent and had barely reached Foundation Establishment.

Shi Wuxiang: ...

Trying to conquer one's master in a cultivation world that prizes reverence for teachers? This should be interesting.

-

With his fresh disciple status, Shi Wuxiang kept a low profile while getting things done, and soon established himself at the Supreme Immortal Sect. But his conquest mission made no progress at all.

Xie Xiaozhi was too cold.

Shi Wuxiang suspected he was an ice block that had taken human form. His cold aura was almost tangible; forget conquering him, even getting close was difficult.

But Shi Wuxiang never gave up easily.

By day, he was the diligent, polite, cheerful little junior disciple in everyone's eyes. By night, he changed his appearance, slipped into Xie Xiaozhi's dreams, and used every trick he knew to cling to and seduce him.

In the dreams, Xie Xiaozhi was touched until he fell apart, disheveled and held in an embrace he couldn't escape. Yet his eyes remained as cold as a deep pool, his mind clear and composed. "You are merely a strand of my inner demon. You are not of my kind. Stop pestering me."

In reality, Shi Wuxiang knelt obediently before Xie Xiaozhi, looking up with a smile. "Master, did I practice this cultivation method correctly?"

Real and unreal, impossible to tell apart. Though the two faces were completely different, when Xie Xiaozhi's cultivation went awry and his true energy began to flow backward, he somehow couldn't meet his young disciple's concerned gaze.

-

His conquest progress surged, and the way home grew ever closer. Just as Shi Wuxiang was celebrating, the System revealed the final part of the mission it had kept hidden all along:

[Obtain Xie Xiaozhi's love, then kill him.]

Shi Wuxiang turned deathly pale.

He had to go home, but he simply couldn't bring himself to do it. Shi Wuxiang stood beside Xie Xiaozhi's bed, staring at him for a long time, the hand holding his sword trembling slightly.

Just as he wavered, Xie Xiaozhi, who should have been unconscious from the drug, suddenly opened his eyes and steadied the trembling sword for him. His expression was knowing. "Use my Dao Heart to break your obsession. Have you gotten what you wanted, good disciple?"
