You Said We'd Slay Demons and Exorcise Evil, So Why Are You Slacking Off and Ripping Clothes?

Xu Qin transmigrates as the reincarnation of the great demon Xie Caiyun, only to be forced to take on two major headaches:

1. Yinyue Li, a sharp-tongued saber spirit who constantly mocks him for being a lazy slob. After taking human form, she turns out to be an eight-foot-tall fox spirit. (Don’t worry, I don’t like eating salted fish.)

2. A dimwitted officer from the Xuanging Bureau. The moment he joins, he gets saddled with the naturally airheaded supervisor Xiao Hongyu. After seeing the firecrackers Xu Qin made, she unexpectedly awakens an explosive ability. “Xu Qin, look! I made a new Thunderclap Bomb!” (She has a notorious history of accidentally blowing up eighteen alchemy furnaces with a twitch of her hand.)

Even more absurdly, the entire martial world seems to have gone off the rails:

Chu Youlan, the young Daoist nun from Mount Zixiao: a cool, otherworldly immortal in public, but behind closed doors, she clutches the Nine Yang Tyrant Body Technique and humbly asks, “Daoist Xu, I don’t understand the qi pathways for this move, ‘Spring Breeze Brushes the Willow’...” (Sword qi can be felt surging beneath her Daoist robes.)

Lin Qingxue, the orphan of the Swordcasting Manor: a delicate, lovesick beauty in public, but behind closed doors, she yanks a willow tree out of the ground and stabs someone through the heart with one strike. “I only used thirty percent of my strength. How did you fall so quickly?” “Xu Qin?! It’s not what you think! He ran right into my sword!”

While Yinyue Li turns him into a scratching post with her paw pads, and Liu Wukui grins slyly as he makes him sign a contract of indenture,

Xu Qin, who only wants to be a lazy salted fish, looks at the enemies who have come looking for him and sneers:

“You’re looking for the demon Xie Caiyun. What does that have to do with Xu Qin of the Xuanging Bureau?”

An old white-bearded Daoist taps the blackboard:

“Attention! This is a laugh-out-loud wuxia guide to surviving the workplace. It contains a slacker’s handbook for dodging work × a guide to raising weapon girls × a collection of unconventional detective cases. The action never lets up, so noncombatants, buckle your seat belts!”
