The Prodigy Who Secretly Loves Me Is a Psycho

[Straightforward, sunny, and single-minded independent cultivator × seemingly gentle but secretly sinister sect prodigy]

Lin Zhifei's father died, so she went down the mountain to avenge him. Instead, she nearly got herself killed.

As she lay on the brink of death, she got bound to a shoddy online game System.

[One slash, 999 damage! Gear raining everywhere! Start with a Dragon-Slaying Saber! If you're my brother, come and fight me!]

To complete the mission and get clues about her father's killer, the System sent her to ask Lu Chenjiu for help.

But...

Why would a disciple favored by a mighty cultivation sect show up in territory occupied by the demon race?!

Later, Lin Zhifei discovered that her father wasn't dead after all. So her reason for going down the mountain changed from "avenging her father" to...

[Host, that's called "Where's Daddy?"!]

**

Everyone knew that the cultivation sect Bugu's Thirty Palaces had produced an unparalleled prodigy.

He was the only person in the world with a chance of ascending to immortality.

Cultivators described him as gentle and proper, pure as snow and ice, and kind above all.

The demon race spoke of him with either hatred or fear, because he slaughtered demons without mercy and treated them with brutal cruelty!

Lin Zhifei thought both sides had it wrong.

She tried to push Lu Chenjiu away as he held her tightly in his arms, but she couldn't move him at all.

"Don't push me away. Don't leave me." He whispered into Lin Zhifei's ear, tightening his arms around her.

There was little sign of brutality in him, and he was certainly not gentle.

Lu Chenjiu was the bright moon hanging high in the heavens, surrounded by stars, elegant and aloof.

After failing his tribulation, the moon fell into the mud.

He became a stagnant pool, without a ripple.

Alone, he guarded the territory occupied by the demon race.

He was the infamous demonbane of the Demon Realm.

He thought this was how his life would be, until Lin Zhifei barged into his world.

Chattering, noisy, and always refusing to give up.

She used every ounce of her energy to pester him.

Whenever he dealt with Lin Zhifei, he was either giving in or on his way to giving in.

Until he realized that Lin Zhifei was warm and friendly to everyone, and could "pester" anyone.

Lin Zhifei: "Let it go. It's so pitiful."

Lu Chenjiu kept his gaze on the butterfly repeatedly hitting the walls and quietly strengthened the binding spell.

He said gravely, "It came here of its own accord. Why should I let it go?"
