Supernatural, mildly scary, funny

Shan Wanwan is a mountain pit viper determined to cultivate into a dragon.
On a beautiful, sunny day, she was simply looking after an egg for the pretty lady next door when disaster struck from above.
A man who appeared out of nowhere beat her until she was barely clinging to life.
Then a monk found her and brought her back to his temple.
Looking at the person who had saved her life, Shan Wanwan perked up in a tree. She flattened her head and coiled her body into a lotus pedestal, looking down at him from above.
"Mortal, do you have a wish?"
Lian Chen: ...
Shan Wanwan doesn't like humans. She really doesn't.
But Lian Chen is different. She has never met anyone like him. He loves all people and all things, feels compassion for every living being, and even smells nice.
Ye Feng: You can hear what's in their hearts after eating the offerings?
Shan Wanwan, puzzled: You can't hear them?
Ye Feng, exasperated: Do you know how many demons would kill for an opportunity like this? You have to listen to their prayers, then help make them come true!
Shan Wanwan: I eat one of their roast chickens and you try to swindle me? I don't like humans, and I don't like cultivation.
Ye Feng: But if you complete their wishes, you'll become a dragon much faster...
Shan Wanwan: Amitabha. Mortal, please tell me your wish at once.
Later:
Ye Feng: He asked you to drive out an evil spirit! Why are you helping the female ghost hurt people?
Shan Wanwan, with a serious expression: If the female ghost believes in me, can I become a dragon?
Ye Feng: ...
