After leaving the fox spirit dwelling, the snowstorm outside remained fierce. Xing Shuishui raised her hand to block the wind as she ran forward, but her legs sank into the snow, nearly falling. She reached down to pull herself free. Du Dizhu watched her like she was an idiot. He Liansheng lifted her entirely out…

The fox spirit pounced forward. He Liansheng’s lips curved into a contemptuous smile. He didn’t even bother drawing his Taoyuan sword, using just his sword intent to force back the attackers. The fox spirit turned and lunged at Xing Shuishui instead. Xing Shuishui moved unhurriedly, her fingertips lightly pressing against her blade. With a swift…

Du Dizhu sneered, “What nonsense are you talking about? Jing Wushuang only taught me mirror arts. After his death, I’m the only one who knows them. Don’t mistake inferior techniques for mirror arts. If you haven’t seen the real thing, I’ll show you now.” He raised his dragon bone knife toward her, his expression cold.…

Cangchuan was colder than Fengchun Town, with year-round harsh winters. Under the grey sky stretched endless snow-capped mountains dotted with wooden and stone watchtowers. The houses were scattered, with flat roofs and narrow windows. The window paper was decorated with colorful animal totems, and silver four-cornered bells hung beneath the eaves. Xing Shuishui looked away,…

Outside the Spirit Mirror. Xue Sansi grabbed He Liansheng and attacked, swinging his spirit fan to create wind blades without mercy. He Liansheng didn’t use his Peach Source Sword, dodging sideways and catching the fan with his bare hands. The spirit fan hummed between his fingers as the surrounding air shattered. Xue Sansi sneered, “He…

Xing Shuishui found Guan Yinzi quite interesting. Despite being thoroughly evil and hunted by everyone, he still wanted to raise someone to follow the righteous path. Guan Yinzi patted him lightly. As Guan Wushan read poetry while stroking the fox’s fur, Xing Shuishui got goosebumps. She could sense that the fox was gradually lowering its…

“Betraying the Way?” Li Guanxing froze, almost blurting out, “He Liansheng, do you know what you’re saying?” Hadn’t he thought about the consequences? The He family wouldn’t spare him, Lingshan wouldn’t spare him, and the entire world wouldn’t spare him! All for a spirit. Disregarding life and death, betraying the Way. He looked at Xing…

Xing Shuishui could feel his emotions. They were so sincere. But now wasn’t the time. “So, He Liansheng—” “Did you come here to catch demons?” Pushing him away gently, Xing Shuishui could finally breathe. He Liansheng stared at her light makeup for a moment before turning away and saying: “Yes, I’m hunting demons, but not…

She didn’t know what emotions to face – joy, nervousness, or guilt? Xing Shuishui quickly averted her gaze. To avoid drawing attention in the mortal realm, they both used disguise spells. He Liansheng was hard to recognize. But she still feared accidents… Xue Sansi noticed He Liansheng’s gaze. He deliberately leaned forward to block her,…

As early spring arrived, the ice began to melt, creating a crack in the frozen lake with a crisp sound. Xing Shuishui crawled out from the crevice, her face still pale.
