The Fake-Death Kitty Returns

Blurb: The Bloodsucking Cat clan is made up of outstanding employees cultivated by the Heavenly Dao. As the clan's top all-round workaholic, 009 specialized in playing villains and left behind many dazzling legends. But he retired. Yes, he firmly refused the Heavenly Dao's offer to rehire him and chose retirement. 009 packed his little bundle and headed to a world he'd once worked in, all for the promise that he and his friend would meet again as friends, free of their former identities. But something was wrong. Had his friend gone mad from cultivating? And was he actually destroying his cultivation?! * Everyone knows that the world has enjoyed a thousand years of peace thanks to the Sword Immortal standing guard alone. But the Sword Immortal has gone mad. Ever since a heavenly tribulation killed his Dao companion, the Sword Immortal has shown signs of madness. He carries a portrait of his deceased Dao companion across the Nine Provinces, searching until he goes mad from cultivation. What a pity. That Dao companion was only a spirit cat who had taken human form. He may have been beautiful, but was that any reason to act this way? To keep the innocent from being caught in the crossfire, the Sword Immortal sealed himself atop a snowy peak. A hundred years passed, and now his time was almost up. As the Sword Immortal neared death, strange signs appeared everywhere. Countless cultivators braved the wrath of the heavenly tribulation to come to the snowy mountain and see him off. Wait, why is someone falling out of the heavenly tribulation? That's... the Sword Immortal's deceased wife?! * With the cat in his arms, the heavenly tribulation instantly stopped. The Sword Immortal shattered his inner demons, and sunlight flooded the world. How did everything suddenly get better? 009 twitched his ears in confusion. "Why are they calling me your deceased wife?" The Sword Immortal only clutched him tighter. "Ignore them. Are you still leaving?" "I'm not leaving." The Sword Immortal dispersed the binding formation he had nearly completed and smiled with tender warmth. "Good." [Sunny, scheming, heaven-defying Sword Immortal gong X innocent beauty, Heavenly Dao big shot shou] *Probably a medium-length story, 1v1, happy ending. The gong and shou are deeply in love. No breaking them up or reversing the pairing. *The comedy mostly comes from an overworked office drone eagerly looking forward to retirement. (Tears.)
