The Little Demon Strikes

Blurb

[This story updates whenever inspiration strikes]

Lighthearted version:

Liu Yuan is a willow spirit.

Her rank in the clan: Thirty-Eight. Her full name: Liu Sanba.

Flips table! Anyone who dares call her Liu Sanba again is asking for trouble!

When a willow spirit meets a fake scholar:

"Yan Fei, I'm a demon."

"Mm."

"Yan Fei, I really am a demon."

"Mm, I know."

"..."

Liu Yuan is on the verge of tears. Since when are demons as common as cabbages sold by the roadside?

Serious version:

Liu Yuan once thought she'd spend her whole life as a little willow tree spirit in her clan. Though she was born with yin energy, she was lazy by nature and figured she'd never attain the Great Dao.

Unexpectedly, she met Yan Fei, a fake scholar. She didn't need to cultivate deliberately. As long as she clung to him, her cultivation would shoot up.

But Liu Yuan isn't Liu Yuan, and Yan Fei isn't Yan Fei.

"The Flying Swallow Divine Lord, famed throughout Heaven for his military exploits, went to all this trouble for a tiny demon like me? Liu Yuan is unworthy."
