After Transmigrating into a Book, the Demon Sect's Saint Becomes a Pillar of the Righteous Path

[Upcoming fantasy danmei: "I'm the White Tiger War God, Fierce as Can Be!" See my collection~]

Older master and younger disciple / 1v1 / happy ending

Bai Tingquan transmigrates into a book, becoming a cannon-fodder villain with the same name in an immortal-cultivation danmei novel.

In the original story, the cannon fodder relies on the Demon Sect and commits every kind of evil. The leader of the righteous path, Wen Zhi, defies the opposition and takes him in as a disciple, personally guiding him. But the cannon fodder is ungrateful, gets deceived and exploited by others, opposes the novel's main couple, and persecutes Wen Zhi until his meridians are shattered and he's left a cripple.

The cannon fodder doesn't know that Wen Zhi once saved the male lead's life. His actions enrage the male lead, who has him tortured and butchered until he dies in agony.

Unfortunately, the novel ends in a mess, with all living things destroyed.

Bai Tingquan transmigrates on the day he's forced to take Wen Zhi as his master.

Amid the insults and protests, Bai Tingquan realizes that if he wants to survive, he has to become the man standing before him's disciple.

He kneels and kowtows.

"Master, this disciple is willing."

Wen Zhi looks down at the obedient, well-behaved young man before him. The resistance he'd expected never comes, and he feels a quiet sense of relief.

-

The night Wen Zhi returns from the Demon Sect, Bai Tingquan knocks on his door.

His young disciple clutches a pillow, dressed in thin clothes, looking lost and pitiful, his bright eyes slightly damp.

"Master, the wind on the mountain is so strong..."

Wen Zhi looks down, guessing that his young disciple was probably pampered at the Demon Sect and can't sleep on the rough, hard bedding in the disciples' quarters.

After a long silence, the person inside seems to give in.

"Come in."

-

Wen Zhi is noble and upright, and he guides Bai Tingquan with great care, insisting that he return to the right path. But...

They hear that Bai Tingquan has improper feelings for Wen Zhi.

The cultivators all want to take care of Wen Zhi's disciple for him.

Wen Zhi reveals the edge of his sword, lifting his eyes with a hint of warning. "My disciple is no concern of yours."

-

Until heaven and earth fall into chaos, and every living being perishes.

The righteous path is utterly defeated, the laws of heaven collapse, and the three thousand great worlds are annihilated.

And Bai Tingquan, the one everyone looked down on,

wears red as bright as spilled blood, his sword shaking the heavens.

Leader of the righteous path, seemingly gentle but secretly ruthless, devoted-to-his-disciple gong x pampered little beauty, carefree, seemingly ruthless but secretly gentle, tries to top but ends up getting topped shou

Upcoming work: "I'm the White Tiger War God, Fierce as Can Be!" Blurb~

At the end of the 21st century, the world is at peace. No one prays for victory in battle, and the White Tiger War God, who governs warfare, is on the verge of losing his job. If he can't gather enough wish-power, he'll vanish into nothing.

Watching the Pixiu, the Azure Dragon, and the Phoenix thrive as gods of wealth, good fortune, and romance, the little white tiger envies them until his eyes turn green. With no other choice, he takes up a side job.

Ward off evil and disaster! Punish the wicked and uphold justice! Bring lovers together! Make every wish come true!

I can do it all!

Come make a wish!

The little white tiger spots a dirty-looking homeless man.

He pads over like a cat. "What do you wish for? I can grant anything."

The homeless man: "Why can a tiger talk?"

The little white tiger: "I'm the White Tiger War God. Whatever you wish for, I can grant it."

The homeless man: "You're a tiger. I don't trust you. I only trust my own kind."

The little white tiger gets angry and embarrassed. "If you make a wish, I can turn into a human!"

The homeless man: "...No."

In Year 459 of the Star Calendar, Imperial General Nie Qi leads the Alliance forces in a great battle against the Zerg. The casualties are devastating, and Nie Qi disappears after suffering severe injuries.

But no one knows that Nie Qi has arrived in a distant prehistoric era, so ancient it's hard to describe in terms of the Star Calendar.

He becomes a homeless drifter, but still tries to use the technology available to him to build a communications device that can reach across time and space. At the very least, he needs to send a message to the Empire proving he survived the war.

He also works to return to his own era and continue serving the Empire.

But then a bothersome tiger shows up.

-

No one knows that the fearsome White Tiger War God, in human form, is a lively, innocent young man with a slender build, round eyes, and pale skin.

A human boy who perfectly fits everything General Nie looks for in his ideal type.

General Nie's face turns a suspicious shade of red. "I want to make a wish."

The little white tiger is overjoyed. "Sure!"

General Nie: "I want a spaceship. A mecha would work, too."

The little white tiger's smile freezes. "A s-spaceship??"

That's not the kind of wish he can grant!

The little white tiger puts on a serious face. "Why don't we start from the beginning? I'll teach you how to build a spaceship yourself."

Bonus scene

At first: The little tiger works hard to roll over and show his belly, begging for pets and wishes, but General Nie is unmoved!

Later: General Nie makes at least three wishes every day.

A wish for a kiss.

A wish to pet the little tiger's paws.

And a wish for [beep, ].
