Feeding the Young Villain

Gu Lin found a "little monster." The "little monster" looked like a handsome, aloof human boy, but his pupils were deep green. He was curled up in a corner on a rainy night, pale, frail, and skin and bones. He stared straight at Gu Lin. Gu Lin's heart softened, and he brought him home. Seeing his quiet, well-behaved face and beautiful eyes, clear and delicate as mint candy, Gu Lin bought him a fluffy, soft goose-down quilt and cooked him a warm, delicious meal. The little monster was very well-behaved. He would silently wash the clothes in the house and wait for Gu Lin after school with an umbrella on rainy nights. Gu Lin grew attached to the boy he was raising, but apart from learning that his name was Xie Zhi, he found out nothing about him. In the end, he could only accept his disappearance with a heavy heart. Later, Gu Lin happened to come across a classic power fantasy novel, Against the Current, and suddenly found one of its villains familiar. The book said that the great villain Xie Zhi was born a genius, but strange signs marked his birth. His father despised him and wanted him dead, but he narrowly escaped and ended up cultivating under the venerable Lanxi of Shangqing Mountain. Despite his remarkable talent, Xie Zhi's immortal bones had yet to form in his youth, and his reputation was low. He was repeatedly cast aside, then fell into demonic cultivation and became the greatest obstacle on the protagonist's path. Of course, his ending was tragic too. The protagonist and thirteen venerables hunted him down, destroying his immortal bones and killing him. Gu Lin spent three days reading the book. When he woke up, he found himself inside it, having transmigrated bodily with not a penny in his pocket. He looked around helplessly, sword in hand. Worried about his kid, he joined a cultivation sect and trained hard while asking everywhere for news of the Demon Lord Xie Zhi. He never found the Demon Lord Xie Zhi. Instead, he caught the attention of Sword Venerable Xie Shizhi. Xie Shizhi, the Frostfall Sword Venerable, was a peerless young talent. Though his childhood had been hard, he never lost his lofty ambitions. The day he attained the Dao, one stroke of his sword swept across all nineteen provinces. He was truly the greatest cultivator of his age. Gu Lin lowered the storybook, puzzled. "...Is that how it happened?" Xie Shizhi lowered his sword and obediently kissed his ear. "Mm." + Theme: .
