The Demon Lord Is Trying to Get Himself Killed Every Day

Luo Fuyi is the most hated great demon of the cultivation world.

She was once a gifted young woman from a prestigious orthodox sect. But after personally killing the previous Demon Venerable, she accidentally absorbed demonic energy. Under its influence, she committed countless evils, eventually falling completely into darkness and becoming a demon, abandoned by everyone.

Everyone in the cultivation world feels a pang of regret whenever her name comes up.

Luo Fuyi herself believes her sins are grave. She wants to die, but can't.

The Heavenly Dao tells her that every Demon Venerable is destined to die at the hands of the Chosen One.

So Luo Fuyi waits and waits for the Chosen One who can kill her to appear.

In her five hundredth year as Demon Venerable, the spirited Chosen One finally breaks into her demonic palace. With a sword in her delicate hand and justice written across her young, beautiful face, she declares, “Demon! Prepare to die!”

Luo Fuyi stares at the face so achingly familiar to her, her expression briefly dazed.

That face is unmistakably her own.

She suddenly remembers the strange expression on the previous Demon Venerable's face, hundreds of years ago, when she killed her with her sword.

So this is what fate means.

Luo Fuyi suddenly doesn't want to die anymore.

Since fate has arranged things this way, she wants to try defying it.

Xie Yunlai is the greatest of the younger generation in the cultivation world. Her master says she bears the Mandate of Heaven, destined to grow up and rid the cultivation world of the Demon Venerable, the great villain hated by all.

And she did, just as foretold.

But ever since she personally killed the Demon Venerable, Xie Yunlai has inexplicably started dreaming. In her dreams, a beautiful, flirtatious woman keeps wantonly teasing her, leaving her utterly aflame.

Xie Yunlai suspects she's fallen for some demonic trick. She tries everything, nearly carving “pure of heart and free of desire” into her very bones, yet the woman still visits her dreams every night.

Unable to take it anymore, Xie Yunlai goes down the mountain to slay demons and vent her frustration.

She chases a demon to a lantern festival. Amid the layers of glowing lanterns, Xie Yunlai's sword accidentally catches on the skirt of a woman beside her.

She is about to apologize when the light veil covering the woman's face falls away in the wind, revealing the face she sees in her dreams every day.

Xie Yunlai: “Well, well! I finally found you!”

Luo Fuyi: “The fool took the bait :)”

A little scene

Luo Fuyi: “Xiaolou.”

Xie Yunlai: “How do you know my childhood nickname is Xiaolou?!”

Luo Fuyi: “I don't just know your name is Xiaolou. I also know that when you were little, you fought a stray dog for food, lost, and got bitten on the butt.”

Xie Yunlai is mortified with embarrassment. “Shut up!”

She looks embarrassed and annoyed, but inwardly she smugly thinks, Luo Fuyi knows her so well, she must be head over heels in love with her!

Luo Fuyi thinks, Of course she knows her so well. She went through all of that herself.
