The Underworld Judge's Beloved Disciple

Don't get the wrong idea, this isn't a romance between two men. Don't come after me. I wrote it because it was fun for me, and I don't care about anything else.

If you hate angst and heartbreak, then let them have a proper romance, damn it.

A funny, humorous story. I just love writing villains who become gods.

The heroine, Leng Yu, is a judge in the Netherworld. She takes a mortal named Di Ting as her disciple.

Di Ting: “Master! They say there's something going on between us!”

Leng Yu: A surviving orphan of the Vermilion Bird Clan, a battle god under the Celestial Emperor. She once slew the Demon Lord Wu Ming and is now Di Ting's master.

Di Ting: The baby Leng Yu brought back from the Demonic Abyss. He bears the mark of the Fire Ring and demonic blood, and is actually a key piece in Leng Yu's fight against Wu Ming.

Feelings: He secretly loves Leng Yu, but in truth, he is “bait” in her revenge plan.

Lord Wu Ming: Ruler of the Demonic Abyss. His remnant soul survives, gathering strength through the Thousand-Faced Corpse Buddha in the corpse swamp's Buddhist tomb.

Celestial Emperor: The one pulling all the strings. He knows all of Leng Yu's plans and secretly pushes her to use Di Ting as bait to kill Wu Ming once more.

Leng Yu: “Mm.”

Di Ting: “...You're not going to deny it?”

Leng Yu: “Why deny what's true?”

Frostfrost Sword: (engraved) [It's over. My master has been corrupted.]

[Tips for Immortal Life]

Don't follow Di Ting's example and grill fish with lightning talismans. (Half of the Old Lord's beard got singed because of it.)

Before flying on your sword, make sure Frostfrost Sword is in a good mood. (It holds a grudge.)

Frostfrost Sword: (engraved) [I'm the one and only!]

Buried Snow: (shaking off plum blossoms) [You're old.]

Di Ting: “Master! They're fighting!”

Leng Yu: “...Throw them both out.”

(The next day, both swords hang side by side obediently.)
