The day Zhang Yunfang was kicked down the mountain, the entire temple was jubilant. His fellow disciples rushed around spreading the news: The little junior brother, lazier than a dog and naughtier than a cat, has finally been kicked down the mountain by Master!

Now no one would covet the eldest senior brother's priceless magical artifact, the second senior brother's thousand-year-old guqin would no longer be subjected to abuse, the third senior brother could perform rituals without anyone tripping him up, and even the little nephews could finally focus on their morning lessons...

Looking at his senior brothers crowding together at the mountain gate to see him off, Zhang Yunfang was deeply moved. "I had no idea you all would miss me so much. I'll go beg Master again and ask him not to send me down the mountain to undergo a trial."

His senior brothers: No, no! Your trial is important, and so is your merit. The sect has us, so go without worry!

So Zhang Yunfang said goodbye to his sect and went to work at the museum run by a lay disciple of his sect.

One day, the old Celestial Master remembered his incorrigible disciple and asked his grand-disciple how he was doing.

The young disciple replied, "Junior Uncle is in serious trouble!"

The old Celestial Master pressed a hand to his forehead and decided to go down the mountain to check on the rascal.

His grand-disciple took out his phone. "There's no need to go, Grandmaster. Look at Weibo..."

Zhang Yunfang helped the He City police solve a cult's series of ritual murders and is now one of He City's Ten Outstanding Citizens.

Since coming down the mountain, Zhang Yunfang has become more than just an outstanding citizen. His merit has piled up from the ground all the way to the ninth heaven:

He saved a thousand-year-old nine-tailed fox who was close to having her soul scattered, sent off the ghost king who had slaughtered three thousand members of the Daoist sect a century ago, subdued the peerless, bloodthirsty dragon son Yazi, and even single-handedly dismantled the cult that generations of Daoists had failed to eliminate...

Zhang Yunfang: Master, with all the merit I've earned, can I come back to the mountain and farm now?

The author is an unordained young Daoist priest.

The Demon Lord's Struggle to Survive in the Heavenly Court

They say the Demon Lord, who once unified the demon realm, led his troops straight to the Ninth Heaven to tear apart the gods and devastate the Heavenly Court, before being sealed by the Jade Emperor. Now he's broken free and returned to the human world!

The news throws the Heavenly Court into panic. Afraid their nightmare will come true again and they'll be torn apart, the gods all submit their resignations.

Faced with a mountain of resignation letters, the Jade Emperor is so worried his hair is falling out.

For the sake of the Jade Emperor's hair (not really), and to keep the Heavenly Court peaceful and stable, the newly appointed God of War Xia Yu volunteers to hunt down the Demon Lord and eliminate a menace to both heaven and earth.

Wei Feng, a temporary worker who dreams of passing the Heavenly Court civil service exam and enjoying a comfortable nine-to-five retirement, learns that his boss, the God of War Xia Yu, is going to hunt down the Demon Lord.

The real Demon Lord, Wei Feng: Huh?

To enjoy a life of slacking off (not really), and to get a permanent position, Wei Feng decides to put on a show for the Heavenly Court: I'll kill myself.

The Heavenly Court's Human Realm Office urgently holds a meeting to capture the Demon Lord.

Wei Feng: With you around, Xia Yu, the Demon Lord doesn't stand a chance.

Xia Yu: I'm powerful, but don't underestimate the Demon Lord. Even I would have to fight him for days and nights.

Wei Feng: I think you'd only need one night to make me, I mean, him, willingly become your captive.

Xia Yu: ?

Premise: Upholding the righteous spirit of heaven and earth.
