Synopsis

In his previous life, Xiao Ningyu was talented and handsome, the very image of “someone else’s perfect child.” But his father didn’t care for him, and neither did his mother. After his mother died, his father wasted no time bringing home his mistress, along with a son a year older than Xiao Ningyu.

Xiao Ningyu: ...

He had only recently started letting loose when he died and was reborn in the world of cultivation, where his parents doted on him.

Xiao Ningyu: How hard can it be to act like a good kid? I can do that.

But then his parents died.

Xiao Ningyu: ...

The System woke up. “Hey, want to cultivate?”

Xiao Ningyu did, and he was exceptionally good at it, advancing at a freakish speed. He spent a hundred years enjoying a carefree life, with no worries other than the System. Then, after a long silence, the System woke up and told him to take on a disciple.

Xiao Ningyu: Why should I?

System: You’ll die.

Xiao Ningyu: I’ll kill him.

System: ...

And so he found a new hobby: helping his new disciple meet an early end.

Lu Chen became the personal disciple of Xiao Ningyu, the First Sword Venerable who never took disciples.

His fellow disciples: Envious and astonished.

Other people received welcome gifts from their masters after becoming disciples: magical artifacts, secret manuals, miraculous pills. That night, he received his welcome gift too: a sword wound from the famous sword Guchen.

Lu Chen looked at the wound, which still hadn’t healed after a month. “You can have this honor back.”

He faked his death and disappeared.

They met again several years later.

Xiao Ningyu: a fugitive wanted throughout the cultivation world.

Lu Chen: being hunted by the entire demon realm.

Xiao Ningyu looked at the man, who was the same age and cultivation level as him. “You’re still alive?”

Lu Chen: “Sorry to disappoint you. I’m still alive.”

Note:

1. There are lots of original additions, and the wording may not be precise.

2. The cultivation world runs entirely on rumors.

It's great, so exciting!! Ahhh, I love Xiao Xiao so much, hahaha, I've been suffering from a reading slump for so long, the writing is okay, the plot is good, and the protagonist's personality is just what I like, ahhh. Highly readable! There are quite a few foreshadowing elements now, the protagonist is intelligent, powerful, and carefree, I love him so much, oh my god, a lazy protagonist, so…

It's really good, but it's also the book with the slowest and most normal romantic development I've ever read. I even wondered halfway through if the two male leads were actually a couple, but thankfully, the later chapters confirmed they were. One last thing: author, keep it up! Can you please update one more chapter a day? It's just not enough! 😳

Their personalities are just amazing, I love them so much! At first I was drawn in by the title, then the synopsis, then the plot. I really want to see them meet again when they're both wanted by the authorities!

Great! The synopsis didn't seem particularly novel, I thought it would be another typical master-disciple story, but after just a few chapters, I was pleasantly surprised! 👍👍👍 The little whale's personality perfectly matches my expectations—sometimes rambling and crazy, sometimes a sharp-tongued and aloof master, a bit rebellious, in a state of detachment yet unable to escape the world, quite…

The author writes very well, I really like it. Both characters are sharp-tongued, I enjoy reading it. Keep it up!

How come such a good book only has such a low rating? It must be because the author's update speed is too slow; even the donkeys in the production team don't get this much rest! [Smirk]

It read smoothly; it was the first time I'd read over a hundred chapters in one go. The two main characters, though not entirely finished, have similar yet distinct personalities and seem to understand each other quite well. The plot is fresh, and the character descriptions are decent. I'm not sure if it requires much thought, but I found it okay. I didn't have to think too much throughout.

It's so good, so good, so incredibly good! The plot is fantastic and not awkward at all. The romance develops slowly, but I really, really love it. If it were too fast, it would feel unnatural. I really love it! Author, please update more often!

The plot is alright, and I like Xiao's character design, but the update speed... Updating to chapter 79 15 days ago, who are they trying to kill with hype?
