It had been a long time since they returned to Lingshan. Everything was covered in dust. In He Liansheng’s courtyard, the peach blossoms were always in full bloom. Red ropes tied to peach branches created a dazzling sight. Xing Shuishui pushed open the door with a creak, finding everything inside unfamiliar. She picked up a…

Was it enough? Was it enough? Xing Shuishui was nearly out of breath. He Liansheng kept pushing his luck. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed her sister had arrived. Her mind instantly went blank. “Cough cough cough—” “Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough!” The coughing echoed back and forth, very deliberately. The people of…

When she opened her eyes again, the world was dark. Xing Shuishui lit the separation fire in her palm for light. Instinctively, she looked at the red string tied to her ring finger. The other end disappeared into darkness, and she ran toward it, falling into a warm embrace. He Liansheng held her tight and…

This was why He Liansheng’s destined sword was named Taoyuan. Why the first spell he learned was Peach Blossom Blooming. In the river of time, Xing Shuishui saw He Liansheng’s past lives and present life. All his memories gazed back at her. Strong emotions enveloped her completely.

He stared at the wall for a long time. Passersby heard the peach spirits’ commotion and whispered among themselves. “Those poor little flower spirits.

The light inside was dim, as if covered by a layer of mist. Her wrists and ankles were bound in shackles, her spiritual power sealed. She couldn’t tell…

Black smoke poured in, making it hard for them to see each other’s faces. Someone gripped her chin as the rogue cultivator restrained her limbs. Guan Wushan’s enraged expression twisted in the thick smoke. With his blood parasites destroyed and throat pierced, what escape did he have left? Being caught by either Lingshan or Du…

Xing Shuishui hated when strangers pulled her hair, especially people she disliked. She bit down on Guan Wushan’s hand. “Don’t. Touch. Me,” she said coldly.
