After finishing her morning cultivation practice, Feng Guang walked from the main hall toward her peak, Hao Miao Peak. Along the way, everyone she passed greeted her with barely contained excitement, their eyes filled with admiration. She responded with polite nods.
She recognized quite a few of them—people who deliberately waited on this path every day just to catch a glimpse of her.
Feng Guang felt a sense of satisfaction. She was no longer just a powerless character. In this world of cultivation, killing was even more ruthless than in the martial world she had once known. In cultivation novels, demons and ghosts always had their reasons for appearing. As the eldest senior sister of Xuan Sect, her fate in the original story was to be killed by the male lead. She could not afford to be defenseless. That was why she had spent some of her system points to exchange for an innate talent.
It was worth mentioning that she did not yet have a fiancé. He was set to appear in six months. His name was Jin Ye, the head disciple of Kunlun Sect. Their engagement had been arranged by their sect leaders. But what no one knew was that Jin Ye was Ye Jin in disguise. Ye Jin had long since taken control of Kunlun Sect, and his marriage to Feng Guang was merely a way to get closer to Xuan Sect.
However, he hadn’t expected that upon entering Xuan Sect, he would meet the woman who would change his life—Li Qing.
Because he chose to approach Xia Feng Guang to infiltrate Xuan Sect, he unintentionally caused her, a woman who had always been indifferent to romance, to fall for him. When she discovered his relationship with Li Qing, she turned to darkness. But the female lead was the female lead—even though Li Qing wasn’t as powerful as Feng Guang, she still couldn’t kill her. In the end, it was Feng Guang who was brutally slain by Ye Jin, her heart ripped out.
Feng Guang understood everything clearly. If she didn’t fight the female lead for a man, she wouldn’t become her enemy. And if she stayed out of Ye Jin’s way, perhaps he wouldn’t have a reason to kill her.
But that was only a possibility.
After all, she was still the eldest senior sister of Xuan Sect and the designated successor to its leadership. If Ye Jin truly wanted to rule both the immortal and demonic realms, he would undoubtedly target her. That was why, ever since arriving in this world, she had been diligently cultivating her newfound talent—to ensure she had the strength to resist Ye Jin when the time came.
As for that man named Chu Yu…
According to the original storyline, he was still sealed away in the Ghost Realm. No cultivator, whether righteous or demonic, could enter the Ghost Realm unless they were dead. In six months, when the main story officially began, the seal would weaken, and he would naturally emerge into the human world.
Only then would Feng Guang’s true mission begin.
There was no need to rush—she couldn’t enter the Ghost Realm even if she wanted to.
Halfway up the path, a flirtatious, fan-wielding man blocked her way. With a charming smile in his eyes, he said, “Junior Sister, this year’s batch of new disciples are all clamoring to meet you.”
He was dressed in Xuan Sect’s customary white robes. Normally, such attire would exude a noble and pure aura, but on him, it carried an undeniable hint of seduction.
If he weren’t such a well-known figure in Xuan Sect, people might have mistaken him for a practitioner of some demonic or unorthodox path and arrested him on the spot.
Yet, despite his demeanor, he held the prestigious title of Xuan Sect’s eldest senior brother.
His name was Shang Bai Zi—the only person qualified to call Feng Guang “Junior Sister.”
Having grown up together, Feng Guang knew him well. Despite his flirtatious and flamboyant exterior, he was pure-hearted at his core. She also knew that, despite his playful attitude toward all women, he had no interest in her, his aloof junior sister.
