Dream of the Red Chamber: I Was Bound by the Crimson Pearl

I am the demon king Gu Zhu Jun, a bamboo spirit from the time of Emperor Shun. The tears of E Huang and Nü Ying awakened my spirit, and I live on the essence of the sun and moon. Once in a while, I get peckish and suck a little human blood. Ahem.

So, one year, I had a sudden impulse and took a bite from a passing girl. Who knew she was the reincarnation of the Crimson Pearl Immortal Grass? The gap between our immortal and demon ranks was so great that I ended up bound to her. What am I supposed to do now? Asking for help online.

Qin Aomu replied: Help her restore her immortal form and break the contract!

And so, one day, the little girl Qingque said to Daiyu, "Miss Lin, come cultivate immortality with me!"

Daiyu: This girl's gone mad. Zijuan, hurry and call a doctor to have a look at her!

Oh, and I should be a male bamboo... Yes, I think so.

This story will enter VIP status on May 10, with three chapters released that day.

★★ New story, Tales from the End of the Dharma Age, is now underway. Please support it:

Xu Zizai, the greatest female sword immortal of the age, has been living a fulfilling life in the borderlands, pretending to be an ordinary person. First, she receives word that her amnesiac fiance, Bai Yingfu, has died in a plane crash after accidentally falling from a great height while flying. But a few days later, he shows up with a knife in hand.

After a clash, Xu Zizai loses, but Bai Yingfu doesn't win, either.

Her superior makes the final call: "You're in charge of hunting down Bai Yingfu."

Xu Zizai: Honestly, I'd rather go save the world.

The First Elder: Adults can choose to do both.

Bai Yingfu, the former young master of a villainous organization who was "brainwashed," finally regains all his memories of his ill-fated connection with Xu Zizai when he sees the demon projection on the sun.

Demon: Your mission now is...

Bai Yingfu: Kill Xu Zizai.

Demon: ...No, destroy the world. Adults need to know how to prioritize.

And so they go from fighting to the death in an eastern xianxia world to a western fantasy world, then from a high-fantasy setting to a Lovecraftian one.

And so the world is saved.

Demon: Hey! There's still a big boss right here! Could you give me a little attention?

Theme: All worldly splendor is like bubbles on water. I'd rather be a pair of mandarin ducks than yearn for immortality
