In the twilight years of the Celestial Jade Dynasty, when immortals still walked openly among men and the boundary between realms remained thin, the Year of the Black Moon marked the five-hundredth anniversary of the Blood Moon Calamity.
The fishermen saw her first--a slash of white against the storm-black horizon where sea met sky. They paused in their morning work, weathered hands stilling on salt-crusted nets. The youngest among them squinted through the downpour and pointed.
"There," he whispered, though no one could hear him over the crash of waves. "On the water's edge."
Old Man Liu spat a stream of brown tobacco juice that washed away instantly in the rain. "Fool," he muttered. "No mortal walks that shore. The rocks would slice your feet to ribbons."
But they all looked.
The woman moved like mist over the razor-sharp black stones, her bare feet barely disturbing pools of seawater gathered in jagged craters. The torrential deluge seemed to part around her, drops bending in their descent as if reluctant to sully her pristine white robes. The garment itself clung to her form--revealing curves that would have brought the local magistrate's house to ruin--yet somehow maintained its otherworldly dignity.
Her hair, black as a moonless night, fell in a single weighted ponytail that swayed with each step, occasionally revealing a teardrop mark on her forehead that caught what little light penetrated the storm clouds.
"A cultivator," breathed Chen, the middle-aged net-mender. The word itself carried whispered reverence. "One of the sword immortals from the mountains."
"Pei Yu Han," confirmed Old Liu, voice suddenly devoid of its usual derision. "The White-Robed Sword Immortal of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect." His leathery face tightened with something like fear. "We should not stare at such beings."
But none looked away.
How could they? Even from this distance, her beauty was physically painful to behold. Her grace made the storm itself seem clumsy. When lightning flashed, it seemed to emanate from her rather than fall upon her.
As they watched, she paused at the edge of a massive black stone that jutted into the churning sea. With a movement fluid as water, she withdrew a plain wooden scabbard from her sash. The sword she drew sang a single clear note that carried over the storm's fury to reach their ears--a sound that made each man's heart clench with inexplicable longing.
"PAH-DA."
The sound of her bare feet touching the wet stone surface finally reached them, carried impossibly over the storm's howl. The noise was wrong somehow--too delicate, too controlled for a human footfall, especially one carrying curves that pronounced. Those abundant breasts should have created a momentum that unbalanced her, yet she moved with perfect stillness at her core.
Each fisherman felt it then--the instinctive understanding that they watched something not quite human. Something that had transcended mortal limitations.
She began to move.
The sword form she executed was unlike any martial art they had witnessed. Her blade traced silver arcs through the rain, each stroke precise yet flowing into the next like waves shaping themselves against the shore. Water droplets hung suspended around her, caught in the energy field her movements generated.
Her massive breasts swayed hypnotically with each turn, contained by cultivation-enhanced silk that shifted like a second skin. Yet this undeniably erotic display somehow never undermined the lethal precision of her bladework. The juxtaposition only enhanced the otherworldly nature of her performance--no mortal woman could maintain such perfect fighting form while her chest heaved and bounced with such abundance.
What the fishermen couldn't know--what no mortal could discern--was the slight tremor in her wrist that appeared on the seventh form. The barely perceptible hesitation that preceded her eighth strike. The momentary flash of something dark that crossed her perfect jade-like features when she completed the sequence.
They saw only the goddess-like figure sheathing her blade as the rain finally began to touch her, plastering her robes against the full curves of her ass and thighs.
Old Liu was the first to turn away. "Finish the nets," he barked to the others. "Whatever business brings a sword immortal to our shores, it's nothing good for simple men. Those with spirit power live in different worlds than ours."
The others reluctantly returned to their tasks, but the youngest kept stealing glances toward the shore. Only he noticed how she paused before continuing her journey, one hand unconsciously dropping to her lower abdomen, fingertips pressing against the soaked silk as if checking for something beneath.
Only he saw how her shoulders momentarily sagged when she thought no one watched.
Only he noticed the subtle darkness that trailed behind her--not a shadow cast by light, but something that clung to her spiritual energy, visible even to his untrained eyes.
Something had wounded the immortal.
The forest path leading to Mountain Mist Village curved through ancient pines that stood sentinel along the foothills. Centuries of footfalls had worn the earth smooth, creating a natural road that merchants, pilgrims, and occasionally cultivators traveled to reach the sect compounds hidden in the higher elevations.
Pei Yu Han walked this path with measured steps, her rain-soaked white robes now simply damp in the humid forest air. Though she no longer glided above the ground as she had at the sea's edge, her movements retained their unnatural grace. Two farmhands cutting bamboo nearby froze at the sight of her, their knives suspended in mid-swing as she passed.
"Forgive this one's impertinence," one whispered, head bowed, "but is the honored immortal seeking passage to the Sword Sect?"
Yu Han paused, turning her face toward him. The man nearly collapsed under the weight of her gaze. Her skin possessed the luminous quality that only high-level cultivators achieved--white jade given breath and life, with a subtle inner glow that made mortal complexions seem like crude clay by comparison.
"You are familiar with the mountain paths?" she asked. Her voice carried the melodic quality of distant temple bells.
"This humble one has delivered rice to the outer courtyard," he stammered, unable to look directly at her face. Instead, his gaze fixed on the teardrop mark adorning her forehead, now clearly visible as a cultivation sigil rather than a mere decoration.
"Then perhaps you have seen a young man traveling this road," she said. "Tall, with features that would seem noble even in commoner's clothes."
The man's eyes widened slightly--he had seen such a person, just yesterday. A wanderer with the bearing of hidden royalty, who paid for his meal with silver that bore strange markings.
"He passed through this morning, honored immortal. He--"
