I Only Like Your Swordsmanship!

[Blurb] Lan Lan transmigrates into a xianxia novel as a disposable side character.

In the novel, she is a beautiful but weak butterfly demon. Because she carries a pure bloodline of the ancient demon race, the villainous Demon Venerable captures her to sacrifice to an evil formation. In the end, she is reduced to ashes, her soul scattered, and dies.

The System tells her: Only by staying by the Sword Saint Feng Lanchao's side can you survive.

Lan Lan tilts her head. "Seeking his protection is only a temporary solution. Since I have to find a way to get close to him to stay alive, I might as well be a little more ambitious... Let's trick him into teaching me peerless sword techniques!"

Afterward, she spends everything she owns to buy a manual from the Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect.

According to the rumors, mastering it will let her become an inseparable, lifelong friend of a sword cultivator.

By then, Feng Lanchao will surely be willing to teach her sword techniques!

One night, Feng Lanchao happens to pass by Lan Lan's window and hears her whisper, "Feng Lanchao, I really like you so much..."

Feng Lanchao is stunned. His face immediately flushes, and he teleports far away.

"...your sword techniques." Lan Lan turns over in her sleep.

Not long afterward, he spots a book on her desk titled How to Befriend a Sword Cultivator.

He remembers it well. Some vixen from the Hehuan Sect made the whole thing up, and three of his disciples' grand-disciples were tricked away by her!

Feng Lanchao's expression shifts unpredictably.

It's one thing for her to secretly like him, but she actually wants to seduce him?!

Hmph. He won't fall for a vixen's little tricks!

*

Feng Lanchao, the invincible Sword Saint whose name resounds across the Three Realms, is praised by all as compassionate and devoted to the people. He is also strikingly handsome, a man of peerless beauty, as if a heavenly god had descended to the mortal world.

Unfortunately, he is aloof and unsociable, and has lived in solitude for thousands of years.

No one knows when a butterfly demon appeared by his side. The two are inseparable, and whenever the Sword Saint looks down at her, his eyes are smiling.

On the day all the races unite to destroy the villainous Demon Venerable, the Sword Saint offers up his entire fortune and proposes to her in front of all living beings across the Three Realms and Six Paths.

But the petite young woman swings her sword and shatters the fleeing Demon Venerable's remnant soul. She looks back in confusion. "But I only stayed by the Saint's side because I wanted to learn sword techniques!"

"Bonus Scene"

On the day Lan Lan finishes her studies and goes to say goodbye, Feng Lanchao blocks her in her room. "You think of me as a friend?"

Lan Lan hesitates. "You don't want that? Then... since you taught me sword techniques, I could also consider you my master..."

Feng Lanchao smiles and presses his lips to her earlobe. "Do you know what a master is for in the Hehuan Sect?"

Lan Lan freezes. "...Huh?"

Wait, wait, wait!

How does he know about that book?!

◇Coming soon: the cute animal farming novel Cat Clan Revival Begins with Wilderness Survival◇

[Blurb] Farming / Infrastructure Building / Cute Animals / Nonhuman Characters / Daily Life

After the civet cat Venerable, who once kept the world in check, ascends to immortality, the once-glorious Xiaoyao Demon Sect declines. Its many enemies seize their chance to strike.

The Xiaoyao Demon Sect, made up of gentle-tempered cat demons, is nearly wiped out overnight.

When Ji Ruxue transmigrates, the original owner, the White Cat Fairy, has just been entrusted with leading the surviving cats into the Forest of Death to hide.

Ahead, a man-eating flower waits to ambush them. Behind them, a giant python continues to circle. Her junior brothers and sisters curl up and tremble, terrified of the bleak future.

Looking at the pile of fluffy cats huddled together, Ji Ruxue feels both tenderness and fury. She opens her life System and suggests, "I've got a fresh fish. Let's coat it in poison and poison the giant python and the man-eating flower!"

The cats tilt their heads, thinking that their eldest senior sister has been so terrified by the dangers of the forest that she has lost her wits too.

The next second, they see the giant python really has been poisoned to death. Her junior brothers and sisters are so shocked that their whiskers stand on end.

Eldest Senior Sister, meow, meow, meow, meow!

With a calico in her left hand and an orange cat in her right, Ji Ruxue gently meows, "Let's build a fishpond first, then make a cat house, and dry some little fish!"

What? Revenge? Ah, that kind of thing isn't good for the healthy psychological development of the young ones. Let's talk about it later.

And so, the cat demons everyone had written off as having nowhere left to turn begin a peaceful pastoral life in this perilous primeval forest, gathering chrysanthemums beneath the eastern fence.

Later, all the enemies who try to wipe them out once and for all perish in the protective formations Ji Ruxue casually sets up around their home, dying with regrets.

Later still, the farming Xiaoyao Demon Sect becomes the most mysterious and powerful immortal sect in the cultivation world!

Bonus Scene:

The three big names nominated for this year's Best Elder award at Meow Sect are...

The kind and friendly Orange Cat Venerable: "Vote for me and get a mystery box of dried fish, meow!"

The mysterious Black Cat Elder turns away. "Purr... I'll build you a nest, I suppose."

The cold and ruthless Tabby Sword Immortal narrows his eyes. "Vote for me or don't, I don't care!"

Just then, the White Cat Immortal Venerable, Ji Ruxue, passes by, and all three elders instantly fix their eyes on her.

The devoted fans of Meow Sect below are practically ready to swarm forward. "Give us the Sect Master and we'll vote for you right now!"

◇Advance Preview: The Cat-Loving Villainess Goes Viral After Turning into a Cat◇

Xuan Yu is a young cat demon who has only recently learned to take human form. By accident, she becomes the disposable villainess in a showbiz novel, her foolish and vicious character serving as a foil for the heroine's goodness and sincerity.

System: You must maintain your character and follow the plot, or the Heavenly Dao will strike you down!

After memorizing the plot, Xuan Yu thinks this will be a piece of cake...

On the film set.

System: You pull rank as a senior, snub the heroine when she greets you, and steal the hot water the Film Emperor brought for her.

Half a second before the heroine arrives, Xuan Yu turns into her cat form. She ignores the heroine's pleas to pet and cuddle her, licks the water in her cup, then walks off arrogantly.

After the behind-the-scenes footage airs, the "arrogant" black cat steals the show. Plenty of drama fans make a special trip to the set just to pet her.

At a party.

System: You resent the heroine for being invited to such an exclusive event despite having no connections. Wait until the male lead leaves, then taunt her and splash red wine on her to humiliate her.

The heroine approaches gracefully. The beautiful black cat leaps onto the table, yowls angrily at her, and knocks over the red wine, splashing it all over her.

The video from the event goes viral, just as expected. Netizens scream in excitement: "Aaaaaah! Wei is dead! An angry kitty is so cute! Splash me next!"

At the awards ceremony.

System: You went to great lengths to get an invitation to the awards ceremony so you could stir up a dating rumor and trend online. Find a chance to throw yourself into the Film Emperor's arms.

The lights suddenly go out at the ceremony. After a commotion, they come back on, and the big screen shows the Film Emperor holding the black cat and soothing her. The beautiful kitty impatiently kicks his face away.

The livestream comments erupt: [The sharp-tongued Film Emperor finally got what was coming to him!] [Well done, kitty! Jump on his face and walk all over him!] [Let that man go, kitty, come to me!]

Later, observant netizens uncover that the black cat always appears in the same places as Xuan Yu.

The haters immediately perk up. "See? What cute kitty? She's just a prop Xuan Yu trained to get attention!"

The story trends online, and the Film Emperor posts a photo of actress Xuan Yu with the black cat. The caption reads: "My wife, my cat."

Beloved by all, one-on-one romance, happy ending.
