The Honest Immortal Sect Disciple Is Stolen Away by the Demon Lord

[Work in progress]

Lin Ji is an honest man of mediocre talent, timid and dull, but everyone says he's devious and scheming, using the life debt he owes Tianheng Immortal Lord to force him to marry him.

Tianheng Immortal Lord loathes him and never even looks him in the eye. He makes him work as a lowly servant, sweeping the courtyard and tending the spirit herbs every day.

Lin Ji is completely out of place in the lofty Immortal Palace and spends his days miserable. Fortunately, he meets a low-ranking sword cultivator who guards the gate.

The other man saves him from danger several times, praises his extraordinary beauty and unmatched talent for cultivating spirit herbs, and coldly declares that Tianheng Immortal Lord isn't worthy of him.

Flattered by all the praise, Lin Ji feels embarrassed and takes him for a confidant.

Not long afterward, the Demon Lord, sealed away by the Immortal Palace for a thousand years, breaks free and massacres the palace.

Lin Ji is separated from his confidant. Because of his unusual constitution, the Demon Lord abducts him to the Demon Palace and keeps him in bed, tormenting him for three days and nights.

Afterward, the Demon Lord loses consciousness. Afraid he'll wake up and kill him with a single blow, Lin Ji sneaks away!

Yan Beiye was once the greatest prodigy of the immortal path, but his sanctimonious fellow disciple framed him and turned him into a demon. He was sealed away for a thousand years.

After refining part of the seal, he can occasionally leave using a puppet body. Hearing that the wretch of a junior disciple has taken a spouse, he decides to get revenge and deliberately approaches him while he's in seclusion.

With just a few sweet words, Yan Beiye thoroughly deceives Lin Ji.

But when Lin Ji hears that he's troubled by inner demons, he goes out to gather herbs and make pills for him, returning covered in injuries.

Then, hearing that he wants to learn superior sword techniques, Lin Ji gives him an ancient sword manual from his dowry.

Lin Ji is utterly sincere, nothing like the greedy, treacherous person described in the rumors.

The wretch of a junior disciple succeeds in breaking through during seclusion and prepares to hold a dual cultivation ceremony with Lin Ji.

Consumed by jealousy, Yan Beiye forcibly breaks the seal and takes Lin Ji away from the Immortal Palace, determined to stay with him forever. But his severe injuries leave him delirious.

When he comes to, his Demon Queen has run away!
