[Play the pig to eat the tiger + crafty schemer + ruthless and decisive + growth]
Li Yi was captured and made a servant at the Bloodfiend Sect. He’d planned to keep his head down and survive, but when he cultivated the Hundred Fiends Body Refining Art, demonic energy turned into Buddha’s light, and Buddhist chants shook the entire sect’s demonic cultivators until they pressed their palms together. “Amitabha. I wish to take refuge.”
The Bloodfiend Sect’s deputy leader dropped to his knees with a thud. “Senior, you walk the mortal world in disguise. This junior failed to recognize your greatness!”
Li Yi: “…I said I’m just a servant. Do you believe me?”
Later, he was transported to the Western Regions, where he casually refined a corpse puppet.
The white-haired girl opened her eyes and tilted her head. “Master.”
Li Yi thought he’d picked up an obedient bodyguard, until an old monster at the Void Refinement Realm came to take her away. The girl grabbed him with one hand and drained him to ash in a matter of seconds.
Li Yi was dumbfounded.
This soft life was so hard it hurt.
Li Yi looked at his own Golden Core cultivation, then at her.
“Big sis, you’ll protect me from now on, right?”
Xiao Bai blinked and obediently shuffled half a step closer to him.
Everyone: “Senior is playing the pig to eat the tiger again!”
Li Yi: “What tiger? I’m actually a pig!”
