Upon Meeting Water

Xing Shuishui barely heard what he was shouting. The air currents in the passage were chaotic. Even though she desperately held onto He Liansheng’s clothes, they were still separated by the force. When she regained consciousness, Xing Shuishui found herself lying on a street in the ghost city. Red lanterns hung high, with many ghosts…

“Is something wrong with his head?” Xing Shuishui thought alertly. “He Liansheng, this isn’t appropriate… it’s dark out, and we should maintain proper distance between men and women.” She held Li Guanyu’s arm tighter, afraid he would hand her over to He Liansheng. He Liansheng glared at her. “Will you get up on your own,…

“Peach Origin Sword, come forth.” This was the first time Xing Shuishui heard He Liansheng call his sword’s name. She watched as the silver sword flew from He Liansheng’s hand. Unlike before, its speed and power were breathtaking. Silver arcs flashed like starry rain, spawning deadly peach blossoms that were beautiful yet dangerous. The sword’s…

Tonight, all the young members of the Zhu family kept vigil in the front courtyard until Li Guanyu’s group arrived. When they did, the drowsiness dispersed and the family head hurriedly stepped forward…

Xing Shuishui remembered He Liansheng’s earlier fury. If not for the sudden interruption from the ghost corpse, who knows how she would have explained it away. Either way, he was already suspicious of her, and now his suspicions had only grown stronger. “Of course it hurts,” she said. Li Guanyu worriedly said, “What happened to…

Although in the dream He Liansheng also cut down the fire toad with his sword, her concealment talisman unfortunately fell off, revealing her demon identity. That demon-hunting bastard then chased after her with his sword.…

Fire toads were rare spiritual creatures. Even cultivators might not have seen one before, let alone recognize one at first glance. Xing Shuishui reacted quickly: “Years ago, my grandfather was nearly eaten by this kind of demon. The cultivator who saved him said it was a fire toad spirit. I never thought I’d encounter one…

Wuxiang Spirit Mountain lay a hundred miles west of the Endless Sea. Rain whipped through the mountain, leaving devastation in its wake. Only half of the pavilion’s curtains remained standing.
