Do Second-Generation Immortals Have to Go Work in the Countryside Too?

The cultivation world has launched a grand campaign to send people up to the mountains and down to the countryside. The spoiled heirs of cultivation families, who have never learned anything useful, are kicked into the mortal realm by their elders to experience the hardships of an ordinary life.

The once-famous True Immortal Huiyang and Fairy Bibo are now Wang Daniu and Li Erya of Qinghe Village.

Bai Jue, a pampered little tyrant, thinks the family his elders have arranged for him is too crowded, so he barges into the home of Chen Sheng, an orphaned boy from the village.

Bai Jue crosses his legs. "Take good care of me, and I'll make it worth your while."

Chen Sheng refuses.

But refusal doesn't work. The next morning, Chen Sheng wakes to find Bai Jue sprawled across half his bed.

Bai Jue is very satisfied with his life now.

While the other cultivation heirs are still getting muddy in the fields, he lounges in the wicker chair Chen Sheng made and waits for Chen Sheng to return from hunting and feed him.

With his belly full and his body warm, Bai Jue can't help desiring more. He looks at Chen Sheng's handsome, aloof face and ends up sleeping with him.

Before leaving, he hands Chen Sheng a jade pendant. "Wait for me obediently. I'll come back and bring you to the cultivation world."

The pendant is plain and looks like the kind of thing a scumbag buys in bulk to give to all his lovers.

Chen Sheng treasures it.

But three years pass, and Bai Jue still hasn't come back for him.

In just a few days, Bai Jue is due to exchange betrothal gifts with the senior disciple of the neighboring sect.

For some reason, lately he keeps dreaming of a handsome stranger, a young man who asks him tearfully why he abandoned him.

That night, Bai Jue tosses and turns in bed, unable to sleep.

Suddenly, a dense black mist spreads through the room, and a gloomy young man appears in the bedchamber. He looks exactly like the person in Bai Jue's dreams.

Bai Jue: "Could you be my lover from a previous life? No wonder I've been dreaming about you lately."

Bai Jue: "Take me away. It's been two thousand years since the beginning of the Immortal Era, and that old geezer still insists on an arranged marriage."

Chen Sheng silently slips the spirit-binding lock hidden in his sleeve into his storage bag. A strange smile appears on his pale face. "All right."
