I Hear You Have Feelings for Me

Thank you, lovely readers, for supporting the official version.

Blurb:

A fox demon who isn't serious about cultivating immortality, gong x a gentle shou who falls into demonic cultivation for love

Hu Qianqiu was a fine fox demon, wholeheartedly devoted to the Way. He never imagined that his sharp tongue would land him in Bai Zhige's clutches.

But the stinking Heavenly Master Bai Zhige never expected this, did he?

After being reborn, Hu Qianqiu joined the Feixian Sect as his junior fellow disciple, and was living just fine under a new secret identity.

Hu Qianqiu decided to lie flat, but things moved so quickly between him and Bai Zhige that they went straight to becoming bonded Daoist partners!

Bai Zhige: My junior fellow disciple seems to have feelings for me?

Hu Qianqiu: I'm pretending.

Bai Zhige: I'm serious!

But Bai Zhige had already severed Hu Qianqiu's immortal path.

So Bai Zhige schemed to make Hu Qianqiu take his own life, helping Bai Zhige complete his merits and ascend to immortality.

Hu Qianqiu clung to him, weeping uncontrollably. No one had ever told him that the person he would have to kill in the end was his own Daoist partner.

The life and immortal path Bai Zhige owed him were now settled once and for all. They owed each other nothing from this day on.

But...

Bai Zhige: Thanks for asking. I was reborn too, and I'm still the Daoist partner he can't forget!

Reader's guide:

1. Hu Qianqiu is, of course, a somewhat tsundere great demon. Early on, after being reborn as a human, his crying is an instinctive reaction from the original body's owner. He won't keep doing it!

2. One-on-one romance. Their feelings develop gradually, with ties between their past and present lives.

3. The sect's magic and seniority rules are original creations. Hairpins indicate rank. As for cultivation, defeating evil demons adds one merit point; killing the wrong target subtracts one. Bai Zhige once killed the wrong demon and fainted, losing 999 merit points and falling into demonic cultivation.
