The Half-Immortal Is Still Tricking the Demon Catcher Today

[Two Male Leads + Monster Hunting and Case Solving + Forced to Travel Together + Bickering Couple + Humans and Monsters Coexisting]

Wen Xi is a fake fortune-teller who wanders the streets and alleys.

He can't use magic or hunt monsters. He tells fortunes by reading people's expressions and exorcises ghosts with carefully prepared tricks.

That is, until one day, he climbs into a coffin to catch a thief and runs into a real fortune-swallowing demon.

Fleeing for his life, he leaps off a wall and lands right in the arms of Pei Zhaohan, a monster-slaying officer from the Nightwatch Bureau.

Wen Xi clings desperately to his lifeline. “Lord Pei, save me!”

Pei Zhaohan looks down at him. “You fell off a wall and still knew how to pick your landing spot. Looks like you didn't knock all your brains loose.”

The monster is slain, and Wen Xi's con is exposed.

Even worse, when an exorcism talisman touches Wen Xi, it turns black but doesn't burn.

Pei Zhaohan pays the twenty-three taels of silver Wen Xi owes, then makes him sign a promissory note and takes him along under the pretext of investigating the demonic aura.

And so, a smooth-talking, money-grubbing coward who always turns back to save people at the last moment, and a cold, taciturn, stingy, sharp-tongued monster hunter who refuses to kill the innocent, are forced to walk the same road.
