He Duoduo, the famously useless cultivator of Wangyue Sect, was killed in her previous life by the shockwaves from the great demon Lu Zhi. After being reborn, she bonded with the “Rags-to-Riches System.”
She thought the System would help her reach the pinnacle of life, but instead, a world-destroying old monster appeared in her mind: the great demon Lu Zhi, sealed away three thousand years ago, had taken up residence in her sea of consciousness!
Lu Zhi, in his spiritual form: I am the lord of the Three Realms and the sovereign of all demons! Mortal, kneel before me!
He Duoduo, laying it on thick: Your might is unmatched! Your power is awe-inspiring! You're the absolute pinnacle of beauty in the cultivation world!
Lu Zhi, the tips of his ears turning red: ...Ahem. There's no artistry to the flattery, but it's just about good enough. Go on, give me two more lines.
And so, a bizarre sight appeared in the cultivation world: while everyone else flew on their swords, He Duoduo got by with a fire poker;
while others fought over treasures in secret realms, He Duoduo used “a 100% chance of catching a blade with bare hands” to make the righteous sect leader kneel and propose;
while everyone else fought demons in the name of justice, He Duoduo... He Duoduo was buying candied hawthorns for the Demon Lord in her head!
Lu Zhi: I will forge a new body and avenge my humiliation!
He Duoduo: Of course, boss. I'll go draw you a picture... I mean, draw you a candied hawthorn!
