My Master Is a Heart Demon

Other people cultivate with an old master at their side.

I cultivate with a living ancestor at my side!

My name is Ding Hailong, and I’m a good-for-nothing whose Dao foundation has been destroyed. I was about to take my own life when a voice exploded in my mind:

“Stop, you good-for-nothing! If you die, I’ll be dragged down with you!”

He says his name is Ye Qing, that he comes from a thousand years in the future, and that he is my… inner demon.

He’s short-tempered and sharp-tongued, but he knows every lost secret art, every opportunity waiting in the future, and every betrayal.

He teaches me demonic arts, forces me to seize treasures, and calls me an idiot, but at the brink of death, he burns through his soul power to protect me.

We depend on each other for survival, sharing one body as we charge toward the throne of “King of All Flowers.”

Until I discover that everything he has taught me points to a shocking secret:

The person who slaughtered all his beloveds in the future he saved, and ultimately died at his hands…

Was me.

If my master is an inner demon, then what am I?
