Back to When the Demon Lord Was Young

Lian Shengxue is a water lily. He came into this world to find his lost petal. But in his first life, he accidentally found the wrong person. By the time he realized his mistake, his petal had destroyed the world, and he had gone with it. But that's all right. He's powerful now, so he can start over. Except he messed something up. Time rewound to the moment his petal turned evil... He pushes open the door. His junior disciple nephew has just killed his wicked master-wife, and turns to look at him with blood-red, murderous eyes. Imagining how his junior disciple nephew will next slaughter their entire sect and then destroy the world, Lian Shengxue: ... It seems he no longer has the power to try again. _(:3"∠)_ - Luckily, his junior disciple nephew has only just fallen into demonic cultivation, and is still too weak to kill him right away. Lian Shengxue decides to use his warm love to reform his petal, raising him like a son: brewing medicine, making soup, protecting him while he cultivates, and teaching him Buddhist practice... He thinks his petal is sure to grow into a kind little lotus now, and won't kill him. His junior disciple nephew does grow up without killing him, but he still turns out all wrong QAQ... His now-tall junior disciple nephew pulls him into his arms, smiling warmly at him. "So, Uncle, you're saying I'm your petal, but since I've developed a consciousness of my own, I can't merge with you?" Lian Shengxue nods dejectedly. His junior disciple nephew lowers his eyes, his smile growing wider. His voice is low and husky. "It's all right. I can teach Uncle how to merge..." Lian Shengxue: ? = Lian Shengxue: ! Wah, this isn't the kind of merging he imagined! How can his petal be like this? Wah! Self-pairing, both protagonists reborn, the gong appears first Theme: Rise unstained from the mire, and leave some kindness in the world.
