Reborn as the Villain, I Became the Dragon Protagonist's Spirit Pet

A shameless, pleasure-seeking, lie-flat bottom x a ruthless workaholic who pursues the Great Dao top

1. Song Qingdu transmigrates into a book as the demon-clan villain who provides the male lead with opportunities and equipment.

Bad news: The male lead of this novel follows the lone-wolf, level-up-by-himself route. Not only do all the villains who oppose him die, even his good brothers are wiped out. Anyone who gets involved with the male lead sees their odds of survival skyrocket in the wrong direction. From powerful cultivators to ordinary mortals, no one can escape. It's practically a hell-level dungeon!

Good news: Becoming the male lead's spirit pet grants immunity.

As luck would have it, Song Qingdu is a beast, and a rare spirit beast with phoenix blood. The human cultivators of the cultivation world are eager to get their hands on him.

To stay alive, he volunteers to become the first spirit pet of the male lead, who's at the Qi Refining stage, despite being at the Golden Core stage himself.

As a sacred beast of the demon clan, whose bloodline was originally destined for sacrifice, Song Qingdu works for the male lead by day and returns to his clan at night to be their ornamental holy son.

Spirit pets may get to live, but they have to work!

Still, there's no problem. The male lead's enemies are all low-level while he's still in the starter village, so Song Qingdu can mow them down with ease!

When he runs into someone with a lower cultivation level, Song Qingdu says, "Leave it to me!"

When he runs into someone at his level or higher, Song Qingdu says, "Master, I'm just a weak little thing. Save me QAQ"

Song Qingdu becomes the male lead's strongest asset in the early stages, especially when the male lead has lost his family and is being bullied by his fellow disciples. Song Qingdu is the only one he can trust with his whole heart.

His standing goes without saying.

Later, when the male lead takes on new, powerful spirit pets, Song Qingdu's workload drops dramatically. He naturally settles into a comfortable early retirement, with plenty of good food and drink.

By day, he enjoys the resources of the male lead, the chosen one of this plane. By night, he enjoys his share of the demon clan's holy-son resources. In his spare time, he teaches the new spirit-pet underlings a thing or two.

He even uses his villain secret identity to bully his own "master" now and then, until the day his face-slapping plotline arrives.

When the demon clan deceives and forces him into a sacrifice, he successfully dies by self-detonation in front of the assembled demons, after the male lead beats him to a pulp. He gives the male lead his incredible opportunity.

The demon clan is defeated as a result.

From then on, the lower realm has no demon-clan holy son named Song Qingdu.

2. Until the eve of the male lead's ascension.

When one person attains the Dao, even their chickens and dogs ascend.

Though he doesn't have the male lead's cultivation, Song Qingdu can get a free ride to the upper realm with him. So, as the male lead ascends, Song Qingdu takes advantage of a loophole in their contract from years ago, breaks it, and regains his freedom.

As the male lead watches in shock, Song Qingdu takes human form, reveals his true cultivation level, and runs off without looking back!

Hahahahahaha! The calamity of a male lead has ascended. From now on, the lower realm is the garden of his ancestor, Song!

He has no desire to follow the male lead to the upper realm, start cultivating all over again, and suffer through being hunted once more.

He chooses to enjoy the good life as the strongest person in the lower realm!

Song Qingdu returns to the demon clan with the strongest cultivation in the lower realm. As everyone looks on in horror, he drags out the people who bullied or threatened him all those years ago and takes care of them one by one.

From then on, the name Song Qingdu shakes the world!

Song Qingdu enjoys a full thousand years of carefree life in the lower realm!

3. A thousand years later, his lifespan nearly spent, Song Qingdu has no choice but to ascend. He sneaks around, hoping to find some remote place to lie low in the upper realm.

But the moment he ascends, immortals grab him at the Ascension Platform and take him straight to the male lead.

Only then does he learn that, over the past thousand years, the male lead has become the strongest person in the upper realm, and his very first command upon taking that position was to have the entire upper realm search for Song Qingdu.

Song Qingdu looks nervously at the male lead, who's now several cultivation levels stronger than him, and wants to cry.

It's over. This time, he's really going to die.

The male lead sits in his seat of power and regards him nonchalantly. After a long while, he picks up a huge handful of pills with a faintly amused smile and stuffs them into Song Qingdu's mouth.

Song Qingdu: What a cruel man! He won't even give me a quick death. He has to torment me by poisoning me!

Then Song Qingdu chews.

Wait?!

They're all high-grade pills that can improve his cultivation!

Song Qingdu stares at the male lead in shock. The male lead calmly continues feeding him pills that other cultivators would fight tooth and nail for, then says coldly, "You don't want to be my spirit pet?"

Song Qingdu nods instinctively... then shakes his head furiously.

He does! He does!

The male lead gives a cold laugh. "You don't have to be one."

Song Qingdu: ???

A thousand years apart, and now he's gone deaf?

He said yes! Did he hear him? He said yes!

Song Qingdu fumes. So he's still going to kill him after all.

The male lead says coolly, "You can be my Dao companion instead of my spirit pet."

Song Qingdu: Gah?!
