The Gloomy Demon Lord's Sickly Beauty

Feng Guiwan, the eldest young master of the Feng family, was born with a beauty's bones and a face of peerless elegance. He was gentle as jade, yet had suffered from illness since childhood and was frail and weak. An evil dragon had been ravaging Wuzhou City of late. To slay it, Feng Guiwan, whose life was nearly at its end, volunteered to return to a hundred years in the past and search for a way to kill the dragon. Sadly, he came back empty-handed. With no other choice, he could only take the risk of seeking help from the Demon Venerable, a figure said to be neither wholly righteous nor wholly evil. A massive, compassionate Buddha statue stood enshrined in the solemn main hall of Fuling Mountain. The Demon Venerable, rumored to be capricious, knelt before the Buddha, his face hidden. He spoke to Feng Guiwan from behind demonic energy that roiled like a tangible wall. "If you want my help, you will have to pay a price." "What does the Demon Venerable want?" Feng Guiwan countered. As soon as the words left his mouth, the dense demonic energy in the hall slowly dispersed, revealing the Demon Venerable's striking, bewitching, and familiar face. Feng Guiwan's pupils contracted. This capricious Demon Venerable was none other than the little snake demon he had found before a Buddha statue in an ancient temple a hundred years ago, only to lose him afterward. The poor little snake demon from back then had grown into the king of the demon race. Step by step, he forced Feng Guiwan up against the altar before the Buddha, his black eyes gloomy and crazed. "You." Feng Guiwan froze. The corner of his eye caught the compassionate, merciful Buddha statue beside him, and a sickly flush instantly spread across his pale cheeks. "Here? That's... fine, too." Just two of them, easy pickings. Highlight: The top and bottom have mutual crushes. 1v1. The bottom is a sickly beauty. The top was a half-demon as a child. Most of the time, he's an unassuming, scheming, down-to-earth guy. The rest of the time, he's a gloomy, lovesick snake demon. Recommending a close friend's novel.

When picking a cultivation partner, you must make sure no one in their family has done evil for three generations."

Next novel, now open for preorders: The Immortal Venerable Is Three and a Half Su Qianye, an irritable and solitary Immortal Venerable, woke up one day to find himself shrunken down into a three-and-a-half-year-old toddler. From then on, the once unpopular him became the beloved darling of the sect. His once aloof and haughty master: "Yeye, come here. Let Master kiss and cuddle you." His once disdainful senior brother: "Little Ye, let Senior Brother give you a pony ride and lift you up high." His once arrogant little disciple: "Little Master, I just bought you a candied hawthorn skewer. It's so sweet." Even the Demon Venerable, Su Qianye's arch-nemesis, changed his attitude toward him. Every night, he risked being hacked to pieces by everyone in the sect just to sneak off with the toddler. Demon Venerable: "Our demon clan shouldn't be held back by external things. Anything that stands in our way must be killed without mercy. Let our blades be stained with our enemies' blood..." A toddler's wail came from the room. The Demon Venerable, who had just been wearing a sinister expression, darted off the next second. "We still have to kill our enemies, but first, I'm going to feed the baby."
