I Picked Up a Boy to Be My Cultivation Guard

Inspired by "The Martyrs' Pool" in Records of the Western Regions of the Great Tang.

The young assassin Duan Feili, covered in blood, collapsed by a stream.

He was rescued by Jingman, a hermit untouched by worldly affairs.

When he woke, he was full of murderous rage.

He either wanted to kill Jingman,

or tie up the two divine birds and roast them for dinner...

Later, once his wounds had healed, he refused to leave.

He became deeply interested in the life of this Buddhist monk, Jingman.

Little by little, he discovered that this serene, untroubled monk seemed to be hiding a secret.

And with Yao Shan's arrival, everything became even more mysterious...
