Readers: Why doesn’t the female lead like the Devil Venerable?!

Devil Venerable: This Venerable also wants to know. But what I really want to know is why I even like the female lead at all.

Background characters: I have so many things I want to say but I don’t dare to say it to his face!

Demons and evil spirits arise between heaven and earth, and the Taoist Master stands firm and masculine.

I am Yi Chen, with the Taoist name Yi Cheng Zi. At eighteen years old, I fear violent evil spirits and like to make money.

With a heavy heart and ruthless hands, I traverse into a strange world where demons and evil spirits exist, becoming the eldest disciple of the Hidden Dragon Observatory. Before my master’s death, he admonished me to adhere to the path of benevolence and righteousness, to take good care of my juniors, to which I agreed.

However, my understanding of the path of benevolence and righteousness differs slightly from my master’s.

What is benevolence? To split evil people and ghosts in half is to be benevolent.

What is righteousness? To smash the heads of evil people and ghosts into their chests, achieving righteousness.

After my master’s death, with the help of my golden finger and being unable to awaken my ‘spirituality’ for cultivation, I embarked on an unconventional path of cultivation.

Facing the wolves that emerged eager after my master’s death, I struck hard, comprehending the true essence of righteousness.

Against the evil spirits blocking my way, I used the iron fist of love to transform them.

I slay demons, exorcise evil spirits, and test swords with various spiritual cultivators, experiencing the world’s landscapes.

When I reached the peak and looked around, I was shocked to find that demons were just minor troubles; this world is falling… A thousand-year plan, an eternal mystery, slowly unfolds.

The bizarre, undying force has arrived.

Seeing this, Yi Chen laughed; even evil dogs passing by his Taoist observatory had to take a slap, and yet someone dared to disrespect him?

With one foot, Daoist Yi soared to the skies!

The onlookers exclaimed, “Master, stop fighting. The Heavenly Path is almost destroyed.” <<less

Hello, everyone! My name is Shen Jianguo. I am a night school instructor teaching ideological development and Marxist philosophy, occasionally analyzing recent policies and measures for my students.... more>>

All my classes are held in the middle of the night; I've never seen my coworkers or students during the day. The training institute's classrooms are all in abandoned schools, hospitals, or residences. The license plate number of the bus that picks me up is 444; it always arrives at my house at precisely midnight and disappears at five in the morning.

What? You're saying I've met a ghost? Impossible! As a staunch scientific materialist, I absolutely don't believe there's any such thing as ghosts!

I've only had one problem recently: couldn't the training institute hold its classes a little earlier? Wouldn't around 8 PM do? I fear neither heaven nor hell, but I do fear going bald. <<less

The boundless universe was filled with all sorts of wonders.... more>>

I, Chen *Ping'an, only have one sword, to move mountains, turn the seas upside down, suppress demons, deal with gods, pluck stars, break rivers, destroy cities, and open the heavenly abode!

My name is Chen Ping'an, Ping'an* of Peace, and I am a swordsman.

The Midland world was full of wonders.

In the center of the world, there was a scholar who had once used a sword to slash out a waterfall of the Milky Way. This was the person he was the most proud of.

At the edge of the East Sea’s cliffs, there was a nameless Daoist who was unwilling to ascend to the peak of a mountain. He only wished for a cool breeze to brush against his face.

In the Western Pure Land, there was an old monk who liked to treat people to chicken soup and tell stories.

In the southern border of the Wilderness, there was a blind painter who controlled golden-armored puppets that were as tall as mountains to move the hundred thousand mountains, creating an embroidered picture.

An impoverished youth who grew up in the north. One day, he saw tens of thousands of Sword Kinesis Immortals above him, like a swarm of locusts crossing the border.

He wanted to see for himself the scholar that the storyteller had mentioned, the surging tides of the East Sea, the vast swamps of sand in the west, and the majestic mountains of the Southern Wasteland.

Thus, one day, the youth picked up the wooden sword and began to descend south.

Notes:

* Ping'an means peace

She lost the memories she had of the three hundred years before the Catastrophe of Chaos occurred, which caused her to forget the love that was buried deep in her heart.

But she will never forget how this person quietly stayed by her side for sixty thousand years. She will never forget the thousands of years he spent in the Northern Sea, frozen in time. She will never forget how he stood on Qinglong Terrace, enduring the pain of having his bones crushed and body burnt. She will never forget how he chose to shatter his spirit into a million pieces, turning himself into ash, just so she could live.

Now, in the desolation of the Nine provinces and the loneliness of the Three Realms, she was the only figure standing on Gan Kun Platform.

In this lifetime, she is able to stand in front of all the immortals and gods. She is able to stand in front of the innumerable people and spirits living in the Nine provinces and Eight Lands. She is able to stand in front of her deceased father, God Qing Tian. But she couldn’t stand straight and prove herself worthy in front of one person.

She owes him so much more than one hundred and thirty thousand years. She is indebted to him for more than three lifetimes.

This time, she would be the one waiting for him to return. Even if millions of years pass, she would never, ever leave. <<less

Yue Wuhuan quietly washed the blood from his hands and smiled softly: “En.”

Song Qingshi swore from the bottom of his heart: “As a doctor, I will never covet nor take advantage of my beautiful patient!”

Yue Wuhuan took full and complete advantage of the doctor and smiled softly: “En.”

Song Qingshi affirmed from the bottom of his heart: “Under my loving care, the patient will never be blackened!”

Yue Wuhuan secretly hid his monstrously evil thoughts and smiled softly: “En.”

Rumor has it that the Ghost King Chi Huo has a hobby of raising fish, and fish raised by him can be seen everywhere in the cultivation world.... more>>

From his royal corpse puppet to the leader of the Flower Immortal Sect of the High Mountains, they are all men who have loved him.

One Day, Sea King Chi Huo capsized.

The men who had been sailed by him rallied to kill him, crushing him to ashes, marking the fall of the Sea King.

After his death, Chi Huo’s consciousness awakened and realized that he was the Sea King villain in a danmei novel. The romance he thought before was just the fate of being forced to follow the plot.

The so-called Sea King was just a fish in the eyes of Heaven, and will eventually be wiped out.

Later, he was reborn as a young swordsman a hundred years ago, where he met himself who was about to capture his first fish.

Big Chi Huo: Let go of this fish.

Small Chi Huo: I can let him go, but you must stay.

Big Chi Huo: Little brat, these tricks of yours to tease men are all leftovers from me.

Chi Huo lives a new life and wants to fill up the sea with his own hands for the him of a hundred years ago.

The “fish” here are the people he had affairs with, aka his lovers (or whatever you wanna call them). And well, raising/catching fish means having an affair. So yeah, the fish farming here isn’t to be taken literally, it’s an internet slang.] <<less

Everyone says "like father, like son", but Gu Fuyou has mediocre talent. So mediocre that when people see her, they mock her, wondering how Gu Wanpeng could have such a daughter.... more>>

She was so ordinary until she was accepted into the Xuan Miao Sect, with some suspecting that Gu Wanpeng pulled strings for her behind the scenes.

During a beast-taming class, the master was teaching disciples how to summon spirit beasts.

Someone, trying to mock her, chuckled, "I've heard your father's golden spirit bird can attain the nascent soul stage. Like father, like daughter, right? I bet the spirit beast you summon will be equally impressive."

She started the summoning formation, but there was no movement for a long time.

Everyone laughed, "She can't even summon the lowest-level young beast." This was beyond mediocrity; it was downright useless.

Suddenly, the formation emitted a blinding light, and fog covered the ground. Everyone gasped in surprise.

She summoned something, not a bird or beast, but a living person.

This person was the unparalleled genius of Xuan Miao Sect.

Even she didn't expect it, and the summoned person looked equally bewildered.

In a sudden impulse, she used her ring finger's blood to mark the person's forehead and named her 'Nanzhu Jun'.

The master intervened, shouting, "Stop, she's your senior sister!"

But it was too late; they had already formed a pact. <<less

Everyone: You are a majestic Silver Dragon!

Chen Xing: But what does that have to do with me being weak, cowardly, and afraid of death?

Qin Ji never thought that in his past life, he’d die with a dragon and, in this life, be reborn with her too.
