The Lord Has Arrived

Blurb One

Hu Wangchun was a country fox who had cultivated for only a few hundred years. It was his first time in the city, and with nothing to his name, he could only make a living as a fortune-teller. Who knew the competition would be so fierce? The city's fortune-tellers and spirit mediums were no match for him, and when they couldn't beat him fair and square, they banded together to report him!

The demon hunters came rushing over, but instead of attacking him, they called him "Young Master"! Had they mistaken him for someone else? Since he'd finally been able to leave the mountain after a hundred years, why not enjoy himself? Hu Wangchun decided to play along and earnestly, diligently live the life of a rich man, enjoying the good things in life as a fox! He put on a flowered jacket, ate a fat duck, and waved a little fan as he strutted through the streets, happier than could be. Alas, after only a few days of comfort, his lovely fox life went poof and came to an end.

One moment of foolishness leads to everlasting regret! The flowered jacket, fat duck, and little fan became things he could never look back on without shame...

Blurb Two

As the young sect leader of a prestigious immortal sect, Shangguan Lizhou couldn't stomach being toyed with after failing to catch a demon! But after going to great lengths to find the culprit, he discovered that he was outmatched in cultivation, outmatched in reason, and even if he threw caution to the wind and called on his father...

The culprit said, "Your father would lose to me too!"

After thinking long and hard, Shangguan Lizhou decided to take the indirect route. A gentleman's revenge can wait ten years! He would swallow his pride, get close to this sanctimonious villain, and find his fatal weakness so he could strike with precision!

So he began sticking to him like glue. Who could have guessed that revenge would feel so good so soon? Ever since Shangguan Lizhou latched on, the culprit had been plagued by bad luck. From choking on a sip of water to getting struck by lightning while hunting a demon! Shangguan Lizhou even began to wonder if he himself was a walking disaster sent from heaven.

Little Scene

As the sun set, Shangguan Lizhou walked through the bamboo grove with a basket of groceries. The wind swept across the open fields, and blossoms drifted down in showers.

In front of the little house, a man lounged, cracking melon seeds while two little brats wrestled in a heap.

After kicking the two troublemakers away, Shangguan Lizhou stopped and turned around. "Great Master, are we still cultivating immortality or not?"

"Of course!" The laid-back man waved a sleeve. "We'll cultivate after dinner. I prefer night cultivation."

"Night cultivation..." Shangguan Lizhou curled his lips into a smile. "I hear night cultivation is even better as a duo~"
