After an accident, the poor little introvert Jiang Yan transmigrated into a major sect of the demonic path... as a minor NPC.
His only purpose in the story was to give the protagonist a rare magical artifact for online dating, watch him begin an epic romance with the senior brother from the neighboring immortal sect, and help save the world along the way.
When Jiang Yan woke up, he saw that the artifact had added someone as a "friend." Remembering the many immortal pills the other person gave away in the book, he was instantly tempted.
It should be fine if I just chat for a little while, right?
And so Jiang Yan spent his days playing the cool, aloof senior brother, and his nights complaining to the immortal on the other end about their demonic overlord.
"You're so right. That guy surnamed Gu really isn't human... What's the use of being strong on your own? His subordinates aren't united, so no wonder he can't compete with your sect."
"If you ask me, he should have chopped that old man from the Xuanling Sect in half ages ago. If he can sacrifice even his own disciples, how could he ever be loyal to the major sect?"
"They should also set up a system for reporting issues and providing feedback. The various sects can't keep shutting themselves away. They should hold regular exchanges for their lower-ranking disciples. There has to be movement for new growth..."
Jiang Yan never imagined that he and the other person would grow so close that he couldn't bear to cut off contact.
Then, during one exchange, their attempt to meet in person failed, and a disciple of the immortal sect kindly informed him: Although the imitation is very convincing, these aren't pills from our sect.
Jiang Yan's heart sank.
The missing sect leader of the Xuanling Sect, the exchange meetings disguised as a marketplace...
That vague suspicion seemed to have come true.
He promptly deleted the other person, handed the artifact over to the protagonist, and waited for them to fulfill their duties.
But when a great calamity soon struck, the protagonist couple were driven back by the barbarians. Only the Demonic Lord stood firm, facing the surging beast tide with a single sword.
After the fierce battle, the man was covered in blood. He refused all help and slowly walked up to Jiang Yan, grinning viciously.
"After saving all creation like this, have I finally caught your eye?"
Jiang Yan had spent many days in fear and trepidation, but he never expected the one more afraid of being abandoned to be the Demonic Lord, a man at the very top.
