Daily Life as a Household Immortal in a World of Ghosts

Q: How do you become a household guardian deity in an ancient world?

A: Obviously, by accumulating merit and cultivating your powers!

Shi Lang transmigrates, but not into a human or a deity. He transmigrates into a little snake. Fortunately, he has a game System that lets him earn merit by doing good deeds and improve his cultivation. He can even use the game System to make pills.

So Shi Lang pretends that his cultivation has succeeded and lives the life of a household guardian deity. The villagers worship him, and he protects them. He even makes a new friend: a poor little black snake.

At first, Shi Lang thinks he'll go on living this way. Maybe one day, he can cultivate through merit and live a little longer. But who could have guessed that this world really does have demons and ghosts?

And right now, he's just an ordinary little snake, with no extraordinary cultivation and no amazing spells.

Thankfully, he found out soon enough. He can still keep a low profile and survive.

The only problem is that his new companion, the dear brother he holds close to his heart, seems to be sick. He's got a lump growing on his head, and no amount of pills seems to help.

Just when Shi Lang thinks he'll have to live all alone, an old tortoise comes looking for him and calls his new companion “Your Highness.”

Wait, what did you call him? Your Highness?

So the snake I picked up wasn't a snake, but a dragon. And I have powerful backing now?

Shi Lang's eyes immediately fill with tears. “Are you leaving?”

“Yeah. I'm going back to get the betrothal gifts.”

Shi Lang: ??

Wait, brother, I never said I wanted to marry you. We're brothers!
