[Master and Disciple, Nurturing, Sweet on the Outside and Dark Within, Reincarnated Demon Lord, Possessiveness, Yandere Warning, The Pursuer's Regret]
The pitiful child he took in grew up to become an obsessive Demon Lord?!
Jiang Ran rescued an orphan whose family had been slaughtered. He figured he would raise the child casually and leave it at that.
But the little one called him “Master” in a soft, sweet voice every day, and was so obedient it tugged at Jiang Ran's heart.
Jiang Ran: Fine, I'll raise him properly.
So he taught his disciple to cultivate, took blades for him, and kept him safe...
The whole sect said, “Immortal Venerable Qingchen treats his disciple so well. He practically raised him as his own son!”
But Jiang Ran didn't know
His pitiful little disciple was actually the reincarnation of the Blood-Hidden Demon Lord from his past life.
And the Demon Lord's remnant soul was gradually awakening...
The little disciple started “staking his claim,” driving everyone away from his Master's side.
The little disciple started “marking his territory,” leaving spiritual energy imprints on his Master's body.
The little disciple started “emotional blackmail”: “Master, you promised to protect me for the rest of my life.”
Jiang Ran: Something's not right. Did I raise an ungrateful wretch?
A certain disciple (smiling): “Master, you raised me yourself, so you'll have to take responsibility for me to the very end.”
