Even a Goofy Master Wants to Be Cool

Lin Shengsheng is the youngest cultivator to reach the Deification Realm on the Dongming Continent. He is famous far and wide, and no one dares provoke him.

He rarely appears in public, so countless rumors about him circulate across the continent. Some say he's an aloof immortal, others that he's eccentric. And then there are those who say he's gentle, refined, and elegant...

Only his fellow disciples know the truth: Lin Shengsheng is a total goofball.

The ridiculous kind.

He stays out of sight simply because he's afraid people will discover what he's really like.

Perhaps you once brushed shoulders with a man in some unremarkable alley.

The man rubbed his belly and sighed that the noodles he'd just eaten were delicious, then let out a satisfied burp.

You frowned in disgust.

So you never knew that man was Lin Shengsheng.

.

Lin Shengsheng had been traveling around the continent for a long time when he suddenly got the urge to take on a disciple.

As luck would have it, he came across a poor little thing on the road. He took a look at the boy's talent. Not bad, maybe?

Good. You're my disciple from now on, kid.

Lin Shengsheng happily took the boy's hand and said, "Your master will take you to get something tasty!"

.

Qin Xin had once fallen into the gutter, chased and beaten until he was a disheveled laughingstock.

He gritted his teeth and said, I'll stand on my own two feet. One day, I'll repay every last thing.

He never imagined that while he sat in filthy water, smelling so awful that even he couldn't stand it

someone would come like a ray of light and gently take his hand, their tender expression bringing tears to his eyes.

.

So when Lin Shengsheng went missing, Qin Xin went mad.

He searched the entire continent and found nothing.

He sat in a daze in their bamboo house, but the familiar, lazy figure was nowhere to be seen.

Trembling, he called out, "Master."

But no one answered him anymore with a cheerful, "Good boy."

It had probably all been a dream, an illusion like flowers reflected in a mirror or the moon in water.

.

When Lin Yisheng returned to the continent, he was completely bewildered.

?

Is this my disciple?

My disciple is a good boy. How could he possibly be so dominant?

You're messing with me!

Qin Xin laughed.

Now that you're here, you can forget about leaving again.

,

A goofy story, no angst, so sweet it'll give you cavities.
