My Dao Companion Came Back to Life After I Killed My 'Wife' to Prove My Dao

[A sanctimonious, hypocritical, heartless Daoist Immortal Venerable gong x a male ghost shou who was killed by the gong but is deeply in love with him]

Chu You, a radiant and noble immortal, is the foremost figure of the righteous path.

His cultivation has reached perfection, and no one in the cultivation world can match him.

Soon, Chu You will take over as sect leader from the head of Wuliang Sect, the cultivation world's foremost sect, and become the true leader of the righteous path.

Neither sorrow nor joy, neither love nor hate: these eight words perfectly sum up Chu You's Heartless Dao.

Everyone says Chu You was born with the makings of a Daoist and was perfectly suited to cultivating the Heartless Dao. In just a hundred years, he secured his place as the foremost cultivator. The Heavenly Dao favors him, and he possesses countless rare treasures and cultivation techniques.

He has become the envy of everyone, and his name fills the teahouses and taverns.

Yet on the eve of his succession, a rumor appeared from nowhere:

Some say Chu You once had a Daoist partner,

and that he only succeeded in proving the Dao by killing him.

**

The back mountain of Wuliang Sect is a forbidden area, where the remains of all the sect's fallen disciples are buried.

Tomorrow is the day Chu You takes over as sect leader, yet now he stands alone before a gravestone.

The gravestone is simple, bearing only a single line of small writing:

"Chu You's Daoist partner, Ji Hongxue."

Just then, a cool breeze blows by.

The moon hangs high, leaves rustle, and a red figure gradually takes shape.

He walks toward Chu You, one step at a time.

Chu You doesn't react.

The man in red wraps his arms around Chu You from behind with intimate familiarity. His face is pale and his body ice-cold, as if he had just been pulled from a river in the depths of winter.

The man's gaze is fixed on Chu You's face. His features are striking, but his expression carries a sickly gloom.

Cold fingers roam over Chu You's body, moving from his waist and abdomen up along his spine.

Chu You lets the man do as he pleases.

Suddenly, those icy hands stop at Chu You's slender neck.

Sharp black fingernails press against the edge of his throat.

Then a cold, tingling sensation comes to Chu You's ear. The voice is just as cold:

"Immortal Lord, it has been a long time.

I trust you've been well."
