Chapter 1 Origin

  Tang Hao blew in with the refreshing wind from the riverbank, gazing out at the western sky, but his heart was expecting the appearance of that figure.

  It was this time last year, Tang Hao sat here with a girl named Lin Yundan, who had an angelic face, skin as white as jade, silky hair and a devilish figure, dreaming of their future together.

  Tang Hao and the other person grew up together in an orphanage, realizing their feelings for each other in high school. They studied together, took the college entrance exam together, and were admitted to the same university. After graduating, they entered the workforce in the same city. If nothing unexpected happened, they would have gotten married and lived together.

  However, on this day last year, the two made an appointment to meet secretly by the river. Tang Hua had planned to take out the prepared wedding ring and propose, while Lin Yundan seemed to have sensed something and leaned into his arms, even more shy than before.

  Just as Tang Hao was about to kneel down, a crane-haired and rosy-cheeked Taoist appeared in the sky, stepping on an immortal sword, wearing a Taoist robe, with shining eyes, as if he had discovered some treasure.

  Tang Hao and Lin Yun Dan were shocked by what was in front of them, because this wasn't a movie shoot, but an old Daoist completely disregarding the law of universal gravitation that the two considered to be true, floating above the two.

  Tang Hao forgot what he was originally going to do and just stared blankly. The old Daoist actually flew down and landed in front of the two people.

  Lin Yundan was somewhat excited, "Are you an immortal?"

  The old man shook his head, "As for the fairy, she is beyond my reach! I am just a cultivator. I see that you have an extraordinary bone structure, and I want to take you as my disciple, what do you think?"

  Lin Yundan was somewhat excited, but after glancing at Tang Hao, he said to the old Daoist, "What about him?" The old Daoist sized up Tang Hao and shook his head, saying, "A useless Spiritual Root."

  Lin Yun Dan said with a sigh of regret, "Can't we take him away too? We promised each other that we would be together for this lifetime."

  The old man stroked his beard and said, "Miss, if you take him away, it will be his downfall."

  Lin Yundan gritted her teeth and said, "He's not going, I'm not going either."

  The old man sighed, "Your future is boundless, you should consider carefully." Tang Hao felt a little disappointed. He hoped Lin Yundan could be with him, but he didn't want Lin Yundan to regret her life because of him. So he said to Yundan, "Yundan, go ahead, I'll wait for you. I don't want to force you because of myself."

  Lin Yun Dan looked at Tang Hao with a reluctant gaze, made up her mind and said, "Alright, you have to wait for me! On this day next year, I will return here, I will find a way to let us cultivate together, and then we can become a pair of divine companions."

  Finally, Lin Yun Dan and Lao Dao left together. A year later, today, Tang Huang is waiting here as promised. Tang Huang takes out the ring he prepared a year ago and decides to finish what he didn't do last year.

  At last, three figures flew down from the horizon. Beside them was a man and woman riding on a flying crane. The man had an air of grandeur, wearing a Taoist robe, while the woman had clear and beautiful eyebrows and a remarkable figure.

  Tang Huo completely ignored the two people beside him and stared at the woman standing on the lotus platform in the middle, who was the person he had been thinking about day and night for a year.

  At this time, Lin Yun Dan was no longer wearing the suspenders and short skirt she used to like, but a cyan long dress, like a fairy, making people dare not profane.

  Tang Huo was stunned for a moment before excitedly shouting: "Yun Dan, you've finally come! Do you know how much I've missed you this past year?"

  Lin Yun's face was as calm as an ancient well without any ripples, causing a chill to run down Tang Hao's spine.

  Lin Yun Dan said faintly: "Tang Hao" Tang Hao's heart skipped a beat, before Lin Yun Dan always called him Hao.

  "Let's break up," Lin Yun continued, "we are not people of the same world."

  Tang Hao collapsed and shouted: "Have you forgotten? You said we would be together for a lifetime!"

  Lin Yun Dan sneered, "A lifetime? How long is your lifetime?" After finishing speaking, she took out a pill, smooth as jade, and tossed it into Tang Hao's hand. "Find someone else to be your girlfriend. This is an elixir of longevity, which can increase the lifespan of ordinary people by ten years. You take it."

  Tang Hao threw the elixir on the ground and gritted his teeth: "I don't want any longevity pills, I want you!"

  The woman next to her couldn't help but say, "Don't be so ungrateful! Lin Shijie has already given you enough face, a mortal like you is not worthy of Lin Shijie."

  Tang Hao ignored the woman's words, took out a ring and held it up for Lin Yundan to see. Lin Yundan's eyes flashed with a hint of confusion, but it quickly passed, pointing her finger, the ring flew into her hand. Yundan pinched the ring with her hand, and it shattered.

  Lin Yun Dan said coldly: "From now on, we have no relationship whatsoever."

  Tang Hao's face turned red with rage, and he gritted his teeth, saying: "Lin Yun Dan, remember this, one day I will also become a cultivator, and I will make you regret what you did today for the rest of your life."

  Lin Yun Dan sneered, "You're a useless spiritual root, can't even cultivate Qi, how dare you make me regret?" The man beside her also sneered, "Sister, do you want me to take care of him for you?"

  Lin Yun Dan shook her head and said, "What's the point of arguing with an ordinary person? Let him fend for himself." After that, she flew off into the distance.

  The man and woman also followed, turning their heads to glance at Tang Hao with a look of disdain and a mocking smile before walking away.

  Tang Hao clenched his fists, but there was nothing he could do.

  Tang Hao walked aimlessly on the main street, suddenly feeling that he seemed to have lost his goal. He thought of his grand words just now, but had no idea what method could be used to achieve his goal.

  Tang Hao walked down a street with few passersby when he suddenly stopped at the sound of clashing swords. Was it a gang fight? Before Tang Hao could figure out what was happening, a stunningly beautiful woman in a white palace dress flew down from the rooftop. The woman's face was exquisite, her features delicate, her skin as pale and tender as if it might be blown away by a breath, and her slender figure seemed to shine with an otherworldly light, like Chang'e, the moon goddess.

  Although Tang Hao knew that there were indeed cultivators, he was still stunned. On the one hand, he was frightened by the sudden change, and on the other hand, he was captivated by the woman's beauty.

  The woman seemed to be injured, with a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth. At the same time, she appeared to be avoiding someone, yet she discovered Tang Hao and didn't retreat, instead continuing to fly towards him. Tang Hao also instinctively closed his eyes, wanting to use his hands to block her.

  When Tang Hao came to his senses, nothing had happened. The stunning woman was nowhere to be seen, and there was no unusual change in his body. Tang Hao scratched his head inexplicably, wondering if it was just an illusion.

  Just as Tang Hao was about to continue walking home, a black-robed beauty flew down from the sky again and blocked his path. This woman was comparable in appearance to the previous one, but lacked a few points of holiness and otherworldliness, yet added several points of temptation and sensuality, every move exuding a kind of seductive charm, like a sorceress who lures people into sin.

  The girl glanced at Tang Hao, licked her lips, and smiled slyly: "Little brother, have you seen a woman as beautiful as an immortal pass by here?" Tang Hao felt his mind slipping away for a moment, but quickly regained his composure. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "I've seen her."

  The woman in black winked at Tang Hao and smiled, "Then can you tell sister where she went?" Tang Hao subconsciously felt that the woman in white was not a bad person, and did not want to reveal the situation of the mysterious woman. Tang Hao replied, "It's you."

  The woman in black clothes said with a pretended shyness: "Little brother, you really know how to talk. I'm asking if you've seen any other women passing by, wearing white clothes."

  Tang Hao shook his head, "Don't call me little brother, don't you know that addressing someone with the organs on another person's body is impolite?"

  The woman in black suddenly flushed, although she had always been flirtatious in front of others, but her bones still showed a kind of pride, and her identity was obviously not an ordinary person, when did she ever receive such teasing.

  The woman in black suppressed her anger and said: "If you speak out of turn again, believe it or not, I'll kill you right now?"

  Tang Hao helplessly shrugged his shoulders, "Anyway, I don't really want to live either, do as you like."

  The woman in black returned to her coquettish demeanor, smiling and saying, "Don't worry, it's the first time I've seen a mortal who can remain sober under my charm. Many old ancestors from the Mahayana period have fallen for my way, and I'm becoming more and more interested in you... if there weren't other things to attend to, I'd really like to study you thoroughly, little brother..." The woman in black suddenly realized something and stopped, continuing, "Remember my name, Ning Yan. I'll come find you again." After finishing speaking, she flew away, leaving behind a fragrant scent.

  Tang Hao shook his head helplessly. These cultivators either never appeared for a lifetime, or they came in droves as soon as they did. Tang Hao smoothed out his thoughts. The more Lin Yun Dan looked down on him, the more he wanted to live a fulfilling life. If he didn't live well, how could he become a true cultivator? How could he make Lin Yun Dan regret it for the rest of her life?

  When Tang Hao returned home, it was almost six o'clock. Feeling a bit hungry, he went down to eat noodles. As the aroma of onions wafted up, his appetite grew, and just as he was about to dig in, he suddenly found himself unable to move. From the corner of his vision, he saw his chest slowly rising, his hair growing rapidly to cover his face. His hand holding the chopsticks became slender and delicate, his skin turning as white as sheep's fat. The little brother that had followed him for over twenty years was gone, replaced by an empty feeling. He had turned into a woman!

  When everything calmed down, Tang Hao felt that he could move again, but was no longer in control of his own body. "How fragrant!" Tang Hao's mouth involuntarily let out such a voice, the sound was so clear and pleasant, but it was a woman's voice. Tang Hao uncontrollably picked up his chopsticks and started eating, Tang Hao could taste the flavor of the noodles, feel the texture of the chopsticks, and even sense the swaying sensation in his chest, yet he couldn't control his own body.

  "What's wrong with me?" Tang Hao shouted in his heart, "Huh? You still have consciousness?" Tang Hao's body spoke out in a pleasant female voice.
