Why Hasn't My Wayward Disciple Ascended Yet?

My next novel, The Outer God I Accidentally Raised, is available for preorder. The blurb is at the very bottom. If you're interested, please add it to your reading list~

As the leader of the demonic sect, Ning Fuyuan had always loved trampling the hypocrites of the righteous sects underfoot.

Until one day, she had a dream.

In the dream, she was the storybook's big bad, and her newly accepted disciple was the righteous sect's foremost demon slayer. He had infiltrated her sect solely to wipe out the entire demonic order and take her head himself.

Ning Fuyuan glanced at her aloof little disciple, who was rubbing her back, and decided to strike first. She forcibly sent him to the Ten Thousand Demon Cavern, a mountain of corpses, to retrieve a secret treasure that didn't exist.

But half a month later, the little disciple who should have died in the secret realm appeared on her bed, his robes half undone and his long lashes trembling. He spoke with restraint. "Master, I've brought back the manual you wanted. Tonight, your disciple... will help you cultivate."

Wondering what scheme he was up to, Ning Fuyuan picked up the manual with a cold laugh. She opened it to the first page and froze: The Hehuan Sect's Ancestral Manual.

The little disciple, who should have killed his master to prove his Dao, still hadn't shown his hand. To get him to talk, Ning Fuyuan tried every trick in the book.

When she tried to wipe out a sect, he set the fire. When she wanted to kill, he handed her the blade. Finally, she simply tied up his senior sect brother and moved to attack right in front of him, only for him to stop her with a faint smile.

"Let me do it, Master. Don't let this filthy blood stain your hands."

After Ji Wuling repaid his sect's kindness in his previous life, the first thing he did was break through the Void Realm to find someone who had vanished without a trace.

He searched the highest heavens and the deepest earth, but couldn't find the person who should have ascended long ago. All he found was a handful of ashes.

When he opened his eyes again, he resolved to be that person's sword, striking wherever she pointed. But she kept trying to drive him out of her sect.

At last, on a dark and stormy night, Ji Wuling stormed into her bedchamber with his sword in hand. It was time to stay by her side under a different identity.

The Outer God I Accidentally Raised

Blurb:

A lab accident led Qiao Yi to synthesize a transparent monster.

The little monster looked like a jellyfish and seemed terribly cute.

While her assistant squealed in alarm, Qiao Yi coldly and mercilessly put the little monster down.

But from that day on, she noticed that things at home were always a little strange.

For example, the fish in her aquarium kept getting wiped out.

There were always trails of water on her bed and floor.

When she had a fever, she vaguely saw a mass of soft-bodied creatures holding her and cooling her down...

For a while, Qiao Yi suspected that an escaped convict trying to steal classified information was behind it all.

Finally, one day, she found evidence that the fugitive had broken into her home. She hurried back, only to discover that the living, breathing person had mysteriously disappeared.

And there was now a pale-skinned boy in her bathtub.

The boy had a jellyfish for a head and was soaking in a blood-red bathtub. He was chewing on something as he slowly turned around, his expression innocent and guileless.

"Qiao Yi... hello..."

"I'm Sean."

Qiao Yi looked up and saw that her bath-time reading was open to the page about legends of the deep sea, soaked in blood.

The illustration depicted a deep-sea monster named the Outer God Sean.

Qiao Yi discovered that the little monster who couldn't be killed had a remarkable ability to learn.

Deeply intrigued, she personally taught him to speak, write, and retract his tentacles and tail.

The day the little monster successfully imitated a human, Qiao Yi happily prepared to send him to the Biological Observation Center.

Instead, the little monster turned dark and kidnapped her to the depths of the sea.

Only then did she discover that Sean wasn't the name he was imitating.

It was his true name.
