[Metaphysics + ghost hunting + wish fulfillment + lighthearted + sweet romance + past and present lives + spiritual qi revival]
[A clever, lively young Taoist nun × the cold, abstinent Emperor of the Underworld]
After the spiritual qi revival, an age of cultivation for all began.
Years later, a boy stopped an old man flying through the sky on his sword. “Your Reverence, you haven’t finished telling me the story of the Demon King.”
The old man smiled and stroked his beard. “Little one, do you know why that person is called the Demon King of their generation?”
The boy was so impatient he scratched his head. “Your Reverence, hurry up and tell me!”
“Because apart from that one, no one in the demon realm dares call themselves king!”
The day Zhao Ming'er was diagnosed with terminal cancer,
she was a broke Taoist nun raised at Qingyun Temple. She hefted her peachwood sword and frantically took ghost-hunting jobs,
opened an account in the underworld ahead of time, and launched a whole new career in the afterlife:
she bought into Granny Meng’s milk tea shop and raked in the cash, then opened a huge underworld market at the Bridge of Helplessness.
When Underworld Headlines reported, “Newly crowned richest woman in the Underworld boasts assets worth over a trillion,”
she was crouched by the River of Forgetfulness, haggling with the ferryman: “Your fare costs more than a taxi ride in the living world. Think I won’t get a hundred thousand water ghosts to leave you bad reviews?”
After the cold-faced judge Xuan Moheng dragged her back, he planted a deep kiss on her. “Demon King, aren’t you in a hurry to see me? You’ve got time to haggle!”
She hooked a finger around his tie and spun playfully, then after a moment parted her red lips. “What man could be more fun than making money?”
Just as she ran off with a smile, he pulled her back.
Xuan Moheng crushed his cinnabar brush and pinned her to the desk in the Underworld Lord’s ghostly domain.
He loosened his tie, revealing the soul-sealing nail beneath his collarbone. “So, when are you going to take this nine-orifice exquisite heart?”
