The Retired Celestial Master's Comeback

Bai Quan was once a Celestial Master. He wasn’t among the very best, but he could handle ghosts and monsters on the level of the Unfading Corpse and Sadako.

But even the most powerful Celestial Master can’t stand against the passage of time. In the modern era, the Daoist tradition of Celestial Masters has fallen into decline.

The glutinous rice at home turned into cooked rice. Copper coin swords and Bagua mirrors became decorations on the walls, while talisman paper and cinnabar gradually disappeared from his life... And just like that, Bai Quan became an ordinary young man.

Just as he settled into running a bookstore and enjoying a quiet retirement, a horror survival game bound itself to him.

It told him: If you want to survive in this world, go hunting. Ghosts, opponents, and companions are all your targets. Kill to your heart’s content if you want to make it back to the real world.

Looking at the terrifying interface, Bai Quan, who looked as delicate as a little white flower, could only say: You’re a survival game centered on ghosts and monsters, and you bound yourself to a Celestial Master? Is this some kind of bug???

Jialan, captain of the Jialan Squad, was practically a wrecking ball when it came to missions. He left countless players in the dust and was the object of everyone’s admiration, with more than a few people hopelessly in love with him. But all he cared about was escaping the mission space. He never imagined he’d find his other half there.

Then, on one mission to guide a group of newcomers, he laid eyes on a boy as bright and clear as the moon, and learned for the first time what it meant to fall for someone.

But the boy was delicate and frail, clearly not someone who could survive here. No team would be willing to take him in.

After much hesitation, Jialan finally took the boy under his wing. With the Jialan Squad protecting him, he could survive even if he was just a pretty ornament.

Even if there was no future for them, Jialan wanted the boy to have a happy ending.

Who could have guessed that in the end, their escape from the mission space would depend entirely on this boy, who seemed as fragile as a white lotus?

So he was the pretty ornament all along??
