My Dao Companion Is a Mini Demon Venerable

[A levelheaded ancient man who transmigrates as the shou VS a demon lord who can grow or shrink as the gong] Su Qingyun was gathering medicinal herbs on a mountain when he accidentally fell off a cliff. Certain he was doomed, he never expected to transmigrate to another world. The good news: People here cultivate. The bad news: They’re all demonic cultivators. Su Qingyun stumbled into a cave and found a man sealed inside a block of ice, with a strangely shaped longsword stuck into it. Curious, he approached. To his astonishment, the man inside the ice spoke. Man: Young man, I see that fate has brought you to me. Will you follow me in cultivating to immortality? Su Qingyun: If you can help me soar into the heavens and become an immortal, then of course. Man: To become an immortal, first pull out the sword. Mustering his courage, Su Qingyun pulled out the ancient sword. Not only did he release a demon lord who had been sealed for ten thousand years, he also attracted a crowd of demonic cultivators searching for treasure. The demon lord, sealed for ten thousand years and consumed by resentment, planned to repay kindness with betrayal and sacrifice Su Qingyun to the heavens. But Su Qingyun had been on his guard. He stabbed with his sword, and in an instant, the towering demon lord turned into a tiny, fair-skinned baby no bigger than his thumb?! Little Demon Lord: 😤😣😡 Holding the little demon lord like a figurine, Su Qingyun felt completely overwhelmed. To escape the demonic cultivators pursuing them, he made a pact with the little demon lord. Together, they would cultivate and ascend to immortality. But before cultivation could even begin, he had to sew tiny clothes for the little demon lord, prepare a little table, chair, and dining set, and feed him rice grain by grain. This wasn’t a demon lord at all. It was a talking toy doll. Little Demon Lord (puffing out his cheeks, sternly): Nonsense! How could this honored one be a doll? * Jun Xuanmo was sealed by the Heavenly Venerable at the lowest level of the demonic cultivation realm. He waited and waited for the fated one to appear and draw the divine sword that sealed him. But after waiting for countless millennia, all that came was an ordinary mortal. Filled with resentment, he tried to sacrifice the mortal to the heavens, only to be outsmarted and turned into a tiny, thumb-sized child. He was so furious he stamped his feet. Damn mortal! Once he regained his true form, he would make him pay back every last bit, with interest. Later... Wearing a little robe sewn by the mortal, eating fish grilled by the mortal, sitting on a little chair made by the mortal... Not bad at all! 😍 [Mini-Scene] Little Demon Lord: Junior Brother, hurry and pull this sword out of my head. Su Qingyun: I’m busy. Little Demon Lord: Busy with what? Su Qingyun: Sewing a little robe and a pair of little pants. Little Demon Lord: Who are you sewing those for? Su Qingyun: You. Little Demon Lord: Hmph. At least you know what’s good for you. The thumb-sized little demon lord sat on a tiny chair, lifted a tiny teacup, and took a contented sip.
