[Lazy, alluring, world-weary Demon Venerable x Quirky, spirited, hard-done-by worker]
[Cultivation World + 1v1 + Sharp Tongues + Constant Bickering + Unconventional Cultivation + Everyday Life + Some Original Worldbuilding]
Yi Ran had always been different.
At five, she could see the ghosts around her.
It wasn't a big problem. She got along with all her ghostly brothers just fine.
When she was ten, her parents died in a car accident, leaving her an orphan.
At least she had her “brothers” to keep her company.
Then came the final mishap. At fifteen, Yi Ran was sitting in class, preparing for her high school entrance exams.
She suddenly felt someone watching her. Turning around, she saw a pair of black-and-red eyes.
A moment of weightlessness followed. When Yi Ran came to, she was lying in a man's arms.
Excitement lit up his eyes. He spoke with mischievous delight: “Welcome to the Demon Realm. I'm Ye Li, the Demon Venerable.”
Yi Ran: ???
The modern Heavenly Dao: ???
The cultivation world's Heavenly Dao: !!!
And so, Yi Ran became one of Ye Li's long-suffering underlings.
But Ye Li, who was always trying to control Yi Ran, discovered that she was like a wild horse that had bolted. There was no reining her in.
Arrived in the Demon Realm? No problem. Time to ride on a fox's borrowed tiger might, and pick up a few powerful followers along the way.
Transported to the cultivation world? Easy. A quick tongue and a little acting, and she was a sect disciple.
Ye Li had always been tormented by demonic poison and unable to sleep well. But with Yi Ran, he was thriving. “Sometimes I want to die, sometimes I don't. What am I supposed to do?”
