Everyone in the cultivation world knew that Shen Lingshuang, senior disciple of the Daoist Heavenly Sect, cultivated the Supreme Way of Forgetting Emotions and had severed the seven worldly desires.
Dressed in white as bright as snow, with hair like frost, she wielded a sword that sent a chill across fourteen provinces. She was the cultivation world's most unattainable beauty.
Then one day, she picked up Su Youli, a fluffy, delicate little fox demon who had only just taken human form.
At first, Shen Lingshuang treated her as a pampered little pet. To maintain the image of her "emotionless path," she even fed her with a cold expression, pretending not to care.
But little by little, things began to get out of hand.
"Big Sister, this spirit fruit is so sour. I don't want it~" The little fox burrowed into her arms, her fluffy tail curling around Shen Lingshuang's waist.
Shen Lingshuang expressionlessly crushed a supreme-grade spirit fruit and offered the sweetest piece to her lips. "...Open your mouth."
"Big Sister, this sword technique is so hard. I can't learn it~" The little fox drooped her ears pitifully and promptly flopped onto Shen Lingshuang's lap, acting coy.
Shen Lingshuang took a deep breath, grasped the little fox's soft hand, and spoke in a husky voice. "...Come here. I'll teach you hands-on."
Later, word spread throughout the cultivation world: that sword immortal who cultivated the emotionless path hadn't killed a fox to prove her Dao. Instead, a little fox demon had wrapped her around her little finger, and she'd given herself and her sword to the fox!
The emotionless path? A perfectly clear sword heart?
...To hell with the emotionless path.
The sword immortal sighed, resignedly put away her personal sword, then pulled the little fox, blankets and all, closer in her arms.
Since this fox insisted on clinging to her, this aloof sword immortal (Mom) would just have to play the role to the hilt.
