After transmigrating to the cultivation world, Xiao Pianzi originally planned to follow the usual plot and cling to the protagonist Chang Yixin's coattails. But his useless teammates are impossible to manage, and on the very first day, they shove the protagonist off a cliff, turning him into cannon fodder.
Useless Teammate No. 1: "I'm sorry, Daojun. I didn't mean to."
Xiao Pianzi: "I know you didn't mean to. You just wanted to give the male lead a starter pack."
After finally finding him, what happens?
Useless Teammate No. 2 pats his shoulder and says, "Don't worry, I'll take good care of your disciple. I've already sent him to the Gathering of Heroes. Aren't you happy?"
Xiao Pianzi: "I'm so happy I'm crying."
(You're practically the male lead's own parents. One gift after another!)
Xiao Pianzi works diligently to sabotage the male lead's career, while his useless teammates keep throwing themselves into the line of fire.
A proper villain needs an otherworldly teammate. After reflecting on his mistakes, Xiao Pianzi sets out to find himself a divine little henchman.
Xiao Pianzi: "Young man, I can tell you have extraordinary bones. You're exceptionally gifted, and your spiritual root is quite good. Join my sect and become my disciple. I guarantee you'll ascend to immortality in no time."
Young man: "Oh..."
Xiao Pianzi: "It won't cost 998 or even 98 to become my disciple. Just 98 cents! A powerful cultivator at the Mahayana stage will take you home for free! If you're interested, don't wait. Come cultivate with me!"
Young man: "Will I be the only one, or do you have other disciples too?"
Xiao Pianzi: "You're my one and only. I'll only take you as my disciple in this life. If I ever take another disciple, may lightning strike me dead."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Your disciples have logged on.
Disciple No. 1: "Master, didn't you say I was your one and only?"
Disciple No. 2: "Sob, sob. Master doesn't love me anymore. You said I was your last disciple!"
Protagonist Chang Yixin: "You promised to take only me, and now you're out there picking up others. Master, you have no heart." (secretly stabbing a voodoo doll)
Xiao Pianzi: "What? I was serious about treating you as my enemy. You actually want my heart?"
