He is the legendary savior!
But he's just an unaffiliated cultivator who hasn't even reached Foundation Establishment.
He is the legendary destroyer of great clans!
But he's so poor he can barely scrape together enough for a decent meal, and all he wants is meat with every meal.
He is the legendary fated darling, a beloved heartthrob admired by everyone!
But the only ones who obey him are old men, along with a growing number of demonic beasts.
Zhao Zhu thinks the cultivation world needs love and peace, but it doesn't need him.
And it especially doesn't need him showing up at every crime scene!
Pei Shu: Nonsense! I need you!
Zhao Zhu: Handsome, who are you?
-
Pei Shu thinks Zhao Zhu and Zhao Duanduan are two different people.
Zhao Zhu: No, they're just secret identities.
Pei Shu: Whips out 108 aliases.
Zhao Zhu: ...Hey, what are you doing?
-
"Duanduan, where's your ultimate move?"
The young man beside him, sword in hand, shouted in exasperation. "Didn't Master make you memorize the book about spell techniques?"
Zhao Zhu is battered by the enemy's attacks, his proud long hair now a bird's nest.
He angrily waves the giant brush in his hand. "My ultimate move has a cooldown. Pei Shu, you're Master's disciple too. Don't you have a copy of that book?"
"I'm not like you."
Pei Shu repels the enemy, finds a moment to turn around, and boasts, "I'm a sword cultivator!"
"Oh, right. Sword cultivators don't have cooldowns," Zhao Zhu says coldly.
Pei Shu asks, puzzled, "Duanduan, you keep talking about cooldowns. What does that even mean?"
Zhao Zhu flashes him a smile.
Just then, a breeze passes. Following his whim, he moves lightly as a falling leaf, blocking Pei Shu's view. When Pei Shu comes to his senses, he realizes the sword in his hand is broken!
"Zhao Duanduan!" Pei Shu grits his teeth. "You broke my sword again!"
