Did My Dao Companion Blow Their Cover Today?

Xie Jiuzhao, the greatest cultivator in the realm, lost all his cultivation after a tribulation and ended up in the mortal world. A passing young cultivator rescued him, and in time they fell in love and became cultivation partners.

His partner was wonderful in every way, except his cultivation was too weak and his sect was beneath notice. Xie Jiuzhao wanted him to cultivate properly, but his partner had no ambition and only wanted to cling to him. It was enough to drive him crazy with worry.

Xie Jiuzhao planned to take him back to his sect once his cultivation recovered. If his partner wouldn't make an effort, he could just support him. Unfortunately, he never found the chance.

Then one day, a crack appeared in the secret realm sealing an ancient demon. Countless demons poured through and wreaked havoc across the mortal world. Xie Jiuzhao had no choice but to return to his sect first and lead the other sects to the secret realm to destroy them.

Just before the secret realm was sealed, a demon army suddenly appeared. As Xie Jiuzhao fought a million demons, he saw a black-clad figure among the demon army raise a hand. Black mist instantly became a giant dragon that surged outward, scattering demons wherever it went. Through the swirling black mist, he saw the man's face:

Wait, isn't that my lazy good-for-nothing cultivation partner?

The newly appointed Demon Venerable Yan Lixiu was searching for an important keepsake lost by the demon realm when he accidentally rescued a beauty and fell in love at first sight. He concealed his identity and became the beauty's cultivation partner.

The beauty was perfect in every way, except he was frail and unable to cultivate. Yan Lixiu wanted to bring him back to the demon palace and take good care of him, but he was afraid of scaring him, so he never dared reveal his true identity.

Before he could find the right moment to come clean, an ancient demon emerged and the demon-realm keepsake was located. Yan Lixiu rushed to the secret realm. There, he saw a figure in white holding a sword. The blade fell, shaking heaven and earth as ten thousand demons vanished. Amid the swordlight filling the sky, he saw the man's face:

Wait, isn't that my delicate beauty who can't even look after himself?
