My Master Keeps Letting Me Get Into Trouble

Everyone in the cultivation world knows that Qingming Peak is home to a master and disciple pair who are unlike any other.

The disciple, Lin An, is powerful enough to take on the Demon Lord alone, but her talent for causing trouble is even greater. Today she blows up her master’s treasured alchemy furnace; tomorrow she rides her spirit pet into the sect’s archway and brings it crashing down; the day after, she dares to use her master’s life-bound sword as a skewer for roasting meat, insisting, “This sword is full of spiritual energy, so the demon beast meat tastes even better roasted on it!”

Her master, Shen Qingci, is a top-tier star of the cultivation world, cool and otherworldly, as if untouched by worldly concerns. Yet she has no way to deal with this wicked disciple. Other disciples get punished for causing trouble, but when Lin An does, Shen Qingci merely grabs her by the collar and makes her chop wood. Then she turns around and slips her a healing pill. “Use spiritual energy to chop next time. It’ll save you some effort.”

Everyone is waiting to see when Shen Qingci will finally cast this disciple out of the sect. No one expects what happens next:

When Lin An steals a treasured artifact from the demon clan as her master’s birthday gift and is pursued for it, Shen Qingci cleaves open the barrier to the demon realm with one stroke of her sword and says coolly, “No one touches what’s mine.”

When Lin An’s sharp tongue offends the Crown Prince of the Celestial Realm and he moves to attack, Shen Qingci flicks a finger and shatters his magical treasure. “She’s young. I’ll teach her a lesson for you.”

Even when Lin An blushes and says, “Master, I think I might like you,” this thousand-year iceberg actually turns red at the tips of her ears and tosses her a book titled The Dual Cultivation Method. “Learn this first, then we’ll talk.”

Lin An stares blankly at the manual. Wait, I was just confessing. How did we skip straight to the proposal and wedding night?

The cultivation world: ??? What happened to that aloof master? This is blatant favoritism on a grand scale!
