At the moment she was about to die after transmigrating into the cultivation world, Lu Xi bound herself to the frustrating Demon-Slaying Edict System.
The System's explanation was cold and merciless: [Kill Shi Que, the world-ending demonic seed. If you defy this order, you will destroy the world in his place.]
But the stupid System had one fatal bug: [The Host must not kill the demon personally. If you do, the demonic seed will go berserk!]
Lu Xi: "Either way, I'm dead. Was this redemption program written with your feet?!"
Looking at Shi Que, her aloof, sharp-tongued junior fellow disciple, who was still just a servant and bristling with hostility, Lu Xi decided to keep her head down and grow stronger. She swore she would keep his corruption level below the danger line!
Every time she made a comeback from the brink of disaster, Lu Xi confidently flashed a victory sign. "Handling all this is easy as pie for me!"
...Then she immediately stepped into empty air, fell into a mud pit, and was hauled back by the collar by Shi Que, who remained expressionless.
But the most ridiculous thing was the System's reverse mechanism:
Whenever she softened and gave him medicine or bandaged his wounds, Shi Que's corruption level would sound the alarm and shoot even higher!
Lu Xi went mad. "Junior brother, your corruption level just went up another 1%! Are you a masochist or something?!"
At last, as demonic clouds covered the sky and the karma from a hundred years ago was fully revealed...
The young Demon Venerable let the Ten Thousand Calamities' Heavenly Flame consume him, gripping her wrist so tightly before the abyss that he wouldn't let go. His eyes were filled with obsession and despair.
"Xixi, if meeting you was the cause of my becoming a demon... then so be it."
([Top-tier character design, sharp-tongued yet pure-hearted young demonic seed] x [Bright, cunning, absurdly funny senior sister who talks nonsense], 1v1 mutual healing, lighthearted laughs guaranteed, with fate's heartbreak and sweetness in equal measure!)
