Shui Yungui is the sect leader of Zhentian Que, the top sect in the cultivation world.
Born a good-for-nothing, he only pretends to be a master thanks to a Dragon Bone Sarira.
The Sarira tells him he just needs to take on lots of disciples. The more disciples he has, the stronger he'll become.
He planned to keep coasting like this until Du Huairen appeared.
On recruitment day, the young man picked up the wooden shoe Shui Yungui had dropped and knelt on one knee to put it on him.
The Sarira screamed frantically in his sea of consciousness: This man has a rare Sword Bone Dao Body, the likes of which appear only once in a century. Take him as your disciple, and your accumulated devotion will double!
So Shui Yungui tried the same old trick, smiling behind a layer of sheer gauze. "What's your name?"
He thought he was setting a trap. Give them a little sweetness, then make them long for what they can't have. He'd used that trick countless times and never failed.
But Du Huairen wasn't falling for it.
"From today on, I'm the immortal's dog." By the bath, the drenched young man took his hand and pressed it against his cheek. "Please show me mercy, Immortal."
Shui Yungui had yet to realize that this time, he might be the one taking the bait.
