The Dao Lord Was Captured by the Demon Lord Again

The aloof, beautiful Daoist Venerable Ling Qingxuan, whose mind is full of irreverent commentary, has an archenemy who isn’t his inner demon. It’s the Demon Venerable Mo Tianyuan, who shows up like clockwork every month and comes up with a new excuse to “kidnap” him.

Today, he claims the Demon Realm just opened a hot spring and drags him off for a soak. Tomorrow, he says he’s found a dual-cultivation manual and grabs him for a “study session.” The day after, he simply lies flat and says, “I’m depressed. I need the Daoist Venerable’s good looks to cheer me up.”

The Immortal Alliance goes from treating it like a crisis to giving up entirely. “Quick! Pack up the Daoist Venerable and send him over. We’re begging Lord Demon Venerable not to tear down our barrier again this month. Repairs are expensive!”

Ling Qingxuan: “…I may be the first leader in the history of the Immortal Realm to get kidnapped because my employee benefits are too good.”

But when a real conspiracy quietly comes to light, the two discover that behind this century-long “kidnapping game” lies the most devoted protection and the most ridiculous romance.
