A Family of Hopeless Romantics, Except for the Evil Little Junior Brother-Chapter 241: One Step to Spirit Transformation

By the Clearwater Pond.

The third senior sister of Mount Shushan’s Silver Sword Peak, Lin Wanqing, was riding a bamboo raft drifting downstream.

Ever since Fanyue went missing, she had only returned to Mount Shushan once—during the disciple recruitment ceremony.

The rest of the time, she had been searching for Fanyue.

To be honest, Lin Wanqing didn’t even know what was wrong with her.

It was like she was possessed.

Thinking about it, she hadn't spent much time with Fanyue.

But why did he leave without saying a word? Why?

Why?

Had he found his family?

Then what about her? What did she mean to him?

He used to be so affectionate toward her.

At that thought, Lin Wanqing couldn’t help but sigh.

She gazed at the towering mountains on either side, and a deep sadness welled up within her.

To think, someone like her—a once-in-a-generation prodigy—

Might one day end up like this too?

Lin Wanqing couldn’t help thinking about her current cultivation.

Based on the predictions of her master and the sect’s elders,

She should’ve been the youngest cultivator to reach the Nascent Soul Stage.

But now, she had no desire to break through at all.

Her cultivation had stalled at the Golden Core Stage.

And Lin Wanqing had already noticed that her Dao Heart was slowly deteriorating… it seemed to be clouded.

Even she had to admit it—she had probably fallen in love.

She had strayed from her original path of cultivation.

In truth, Lin Wanqing was conflicted. Maybe she should just return to the sect.

Forget about everything else.

But whenever she thought of that young man—

That young man who used to call her “Big Sister”…

She couldn’t bring herself to give up. So she kept searching, kept looking.

Until… today.

Lin Wanqing encountered a woman at an inn.

That woman passed her a coded message, telling Lin Wanqing she was being followed.

Her every word and move was under surveillance.

The woman asked to meet at a secret location.

Lin Wanqing didn’t understand what was going on and originally had no intention of responding.

But the moment the woman said she knew where Fanyue was—

Lin Wanqing immediately changed her mind and agreed to the meeting.

Right now, Lin Wanqing was pretending to be on a sightseeing trip.

She got on a bamboo raft.

She was also curious—who was the person monitoring them, forcing that woman to use codes just to communicate?

As Lin Wanqing looked around, when she reached the designated spot—

She suddenly dove into the water.

The moment she entered, Lin Wanqing felt it…

A formation?

Hmm?

Yes, definitely a formation—even though it was underwater.

But there was nothing visible in the water.

Lin Wanqing opened her eyes and saw the same woman reappear before her.

How to describe her—this woman was perhaps the most stunningly beautiful person Lin Wanqing had ever seen.

Lin Wanqing even doubted if she was a real person.

“Hello, my name is Bai Li.”

Bai Li?

Lin Wanqing had never heard of the name.

“Who are you? Where is Fanyue? How do you know him?”

Lin Wanqing fired off questions like a machine gun.

Bai Li looked at her. “I’m sorry to tell you this, but Fanyue is already dead.”

“What!?”

Lin Wanqing’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“We’re sorry too, but it’s the truth. Even Fanyue’s reincarnation was arranged by my master.”

“Reincarnation!? What are you talking about? I don’t understand!”

Lin Wanqing staggered backward, her voice flustered.

“Where should I begin the story…”

Bai Li let out a soft sigh, falling into recollection.

In their previous life.

Once, the Hall Master of Tian Sha Hall, a notorious demon.

Fanyue.

And the other—a female sword cultivator, the foremost in the sword path.

Fanyue committed heinous crimes, refining countless innocents, and was hunted by the righteous path.

That battle was incredibly brutal. Among the righteous cultivators who joined the hunt—

All were killed by Fanyue and his followers, except for Lin Wanqing.

But Fanyue was also gravely wounded.

In the restricted area, only Lin Wanqing and Fanyue remained.

He ran, she pursued.

This went on for three full months.

Gradually, the Sword Queen Lin Wanqing developed a strange bond with the greatest demon, Fanyue.

They ate together, shared stories, experienced so much together...

Lin Wanqing said, “I’ll still kill you.”

Fanyue laughed, “If I could die by your hand, I wouldn’t mind. Lin Wanqing, I’ve killed countless people—but when it comes to you, I just can’t do it.”

Lin Wanqing stayed silent.

The two agreed to a final life-and-death duel—each had to give their all.

But at the critical moment, Lin Wanqing suddenly chose to sacrifice herself to redeem Fanyue, hoping he’d abandon his murderous path.

So she chose to die in his arms.

To save Lin Wanqing, Fanyue had no choice but to cast her into the cycle of reincarnation, hoping to find her next life.

In her second life, Lin Wanqing once again became a disciple of Mount Shushan.

Then, Fanyue found her again, and they endured many life-and-death trials together.

Lin Wanqing eventually regained her memories.

They agreed to live as mortals and left Mount Shushan.

Fanyue promised not to harm others again, and the two of them secluded themselves in the deep forest.

But that year, the Sect Leader of Mount Shushan appeared with his sword and killed Fanyue.

Lin Wanqing took the fatal strike in his place.

The Sect Leader showed no hesitation—he killed Lin Wanqing, then Fanyue.

Afterward, with the help of the Happy Old Man,

Both Lin Wanqing and Fanyue successfully reincarnated.

Fanyue even retained his memories after reincarnation.

He reunited with Lin Wanqing—but just as their love was about to blossom again,

Someone suddenly appeared—

And killed Fanyue, scattering his soul to the winds…

“No! No way! This is a lie! You’re lying to me!!!”

Lin Wanqing shouted furiously.

She refused to believe Fanyue was dead.

She couldn’t believe it.

Fanyue wasn’t dead.

Bai Li took out a small golden bead and explained.

“Back then, to ensure Fanyue’s successful reincarnation, the Happy Old Man preserved a fragment of his divine consciousness.

Even though Fanyue was later killed and his soul completely destroyed,

That sliver of divine consciousness survived. It just remained dormant—until now.

But his time is short. You must cherish these final moments.”

A golden light flashed.

And then—Lin Wanqing saw the man she’d longed for, day and night.

“Fanyue!!”

“Wanqing, forget me. You’re a good girl.”

Fanyue slowly turned his head.

“Why? No! Why did this happen to you? Who killed you?”

“I don’t know. But I’m certain it was someone from Mount Shushan. I just don’t know who.” Fanyue said gravely. “During my second life, I tried to use my soul to possess a body, but I was destroyed again—this time by a disciple of Mount Shushan named Li Xuanxiao.”

Tears slid down Lin Wanqing’s face.

Li Xuanxiao?

So it was my own junior brother who accidentally killed you a second time.

“Then who was it the first time? Which person from Shushan wanted you dead?”

“I don’t know. I don’t have much time left.”

“No… no... don’t! I don’t want you to leave me!”

Lin Wanqing cried out in pain.

At that moment, she felt a surge of power explode within her body.

“.............”

Lin Wanqing suddenly vanished.

The mechanized puppet immediately reported to the avatar, and then the main body received the news.

At this moment, Li Xuanxiao—currently under house arrest—frowned slightly.

He focused his attention on the Gu worm hidden in Lin Wanqing.

As expected—it had lost all signs of life.

Could she have run into an accident?

But before he could think further—

In the next instant, Lin Wanqing’s aura reappeared.

In one step, she had leapt from Golden Core straight into Spirit Transformation.

A two-realm jump!!

Lin Wanqing’s hair turned completely white, and frost had formed over the entire water surface.

“I won’t let you die. No one will take you away from me!”

Lin Wanqing’s voice was cold but carried immense authority.

It felt like the former Sword Queen had returned.

Li Xuanxiao: (⊙o⊙)…

So what was the point of me getting fried by tribulation lightning earlier?

Just because I’m good at taking a beating?
