After Saving the World, I Picked Up a Pitiful Little One

A cataclysm was about to engulf the world. Ye Ji, head of the sects, cut down the evil fiend of the Yellow Springs with a single sword strike, using himself as the formation. His white robes were stained red with blood, and he died sealing away the calamity. A thousand years later, he awoke to a desolate grave, overgrown with weeds. Beside the lonely tomb crouched a poor little thing, digging up tree bark to eat. The poor little thing was a young demon. It seemed to have made Ye Ji's grave its home, and was startled when he crawled out. Ye Ji was alone, with nothing tying him down. He had no desire to get involved with this poor little thing, so he turned to leave. Who would have thought the little thing would grab the hem of his clothes? Its fingers, cracked from the cold, trembled slightly, but it stubbornly refused to let go. Its dark eyes reflected Ye Ji's solitary figure. Ye Ji: ...All right, then. And so he picked the little thing up and took it with him. Only later did Ye Ji learn that the poor little thing was a snake demon who could devour anything, feeding on malice and baleful energy. And Ye Ji just so happened to suppress the baleful energy in this world. The frail boy clutched Ye Ji's finger and gazed up at him with wide, pleading eyes. "Big brother, I'm hungry." Ye Ji's heart softened. "All right. I'll feed you." Later still, the poor little thing grew into a great demon capable of devouring the heavens and swallowing the sun. The entire cultivation world trembled at the news of him, struck with fear. The pale, sinister demon held Ye Ji close and nuzzled his cheek. "Big brother, I'm hungry." "I want to eat you, big brother." Ye Ji: "...Get lost." 1.

"After Saving the Male Lead, I Ran Away [Book Transmigration]" The male lead of "The Calamity Era" is a hybrid black dragon. He was tossed about and tormented from the day he was born, until he awakened the bloodline of an evil god and destroyed an entire continent. Gu Jian transmigrated into a villain in the novel. According to the plot, he would pick up the young male lead, who was living on the streets, torment him for years, and finally be chewed to pieces and swallowed alive by the male lead after he awakened the evil god's bloodline for the first time. At the moment of their first meeting, Gu Jian looked at the thin, battered boy in front of him, clutching a soft, fluffy dragon tail, and fell into deep thought. ...Beside a warm fireplace, the little black dragon curled up on Gu Jian's lap, wrapping his tail around him and affectionately nuzzling his chest. At first, Gu Jian only wanted to raise the little black dragon he'd found until he was grown, then send him safely on his way so he wouldn't cause trouble for him. He never expected the black dragon who destroyed the world in the original story to get attached to him and refuse to leave. The boy lifted his little face, his soft dragon tail swishing behind him as he clung to Gu Jian's waist and gazed up at him imploringly. "Gu Jian won't abandon me, right?" "I'll be good. I'll only eat half a piece of bread each day. I can sleep in the attic, too, and use my tail to sweep the floor. Gu Jian, please don't abandon me, okay?" Gu Jian patted the boy's head. "Mm. I won't leave you behind." He promised the boy he would never leave. Later, he suddenly returned to reality. On the day he transmigrated back into the book, Gu Jian heard that the light had fallen, the evil god had descended, and the flames of destruction were sweeping across the continent. The end of the world was at hand. Worried for his little black dragon's safety, he went alone into the abyss, only to see the black dragon, a symbol of death and destruction, descend from the sky. Bloodstained wings tore through the heavens as a pair of terrifying, scarlet dragon eyes opened. Gu Jian: ...Where was the sweet, well-behaved little dragon he raised, the one who used to coo at him and circle around him? Then the black dragon, who had been about to destroy the world just a moment ago, pounced on him, pinning him down and wrapping his tail around Gu Jian's waist. He lowered his head and rubbed against him all over. "Gu Jian doesn't want me anymore. Gu Jian abandoned me. Gu Jian broke his promise..." The pale young man held him tight, eyes red and full of grievance. Gu Jian patted his head tenderly, thinking that his little black dragon was still just as pitiful and well-behaved as before. Until, in the lightless abyss, the black dragon pinned him beneath himself and sullied him bit by bit, tenderly sealing his trembling lips against his own so not a sound escaped. "I love the way you smell, Gu Jian." "Stay here for me forever." 1.
