Master, You’ll Only Hold Back My Promotion

[Coming Soon: The blurb for "The Little Phoenix Wants a Kiss from His Beautiful Master" is below. Please add it to your reading list~~]

The entire cultivation world knows that Duan Yibai is head over heels for his master, Qing Yi.

No one finds it strange. Who is Qing Yi, after all? As the foremost spiritual cultivator in the cultivation world, he has admirers who could line up from the immortal sects all the way to the human realm and back again.

Having one more disciple in love with him is perfectly normal.

Duan Yibai is simply especially persistent. He is so persistent that even the old fuddy-duddies who once thought him shameless for disregarding the rules between teacher and student have started to feel sorry for him.

Until one day, before Duan Yibai could make his 101st confession, he was bound to a System.

From then on, he traveled through different worlds to complete missions, and even earned the chance to compete for the position of Vice-God thanks to his exceptional work performance.

Former lovesick disciple Duan Yibai: "I work so hard so I can get back to my master as soon as possible and make the confession I'm about to give him."

Current workaholic Duan Yibai: "After experiencing all these worlds, my heart has turned as cold as a little crow in winter. The only thing on my mind is becoming a god. Why go back? The position of Vice-God is mine!"

Then the final competitive mission was announced: Duan Yibai had to return to his original world and make everyone believe he no longer loved Qing Yi.

Duan Yibai: "..." I really want to beat up my former self, who cared about nothing but romance.

What's love worth? Does it come with a paycheck?

Later, Duan Yibai completed the mission and swaggered back to the main world to get promoted.

He thought he could finally enjoy the wonderful life of being second only to The Outcast, with everyone else beneath him. But who could have guessed that some damn System would bind his master, too?

Duan Yibai: I left with such swagger. Now look at me.

----The Little Phoenix Wants a Kiss from His Beautiful Master----

Beautiful master gong x phoenix disciple shou

Bai Ling is the last little phoenix in the world, but no matter how hard he tries, he cannot take human form.

After examining him, Heaven's Will says, "This is a debt you incurred in your previous life. You must settle it before you can take human form."

At those words, Bai Ling guiltily gazes up at the sky, the feathers on his head swaying back and forth.

He used to be human, and not just any human: he was the greatest beauty and sword cultivator under heaven, and the disciple of the immortal lord Qi Wenxue.

After an accident, he was gravely wounded and on the brink of death.

Before he died, overcome by his master's beauty, he planted a big smacking kiss on his master's lips and said that in his next life, he would marry him.

Then he died.

Who could have imagined there really would be a next life? He became a snow-white little phoenix and hatched from an egg.

Although he was terrified his master would hack him to pieces for his outrageous behavior before his death, Bai Ling had no choice but to sling on a little bundle and set off on a long, arduous journey to find his master, since he could not take human form.

He flew all the way back to his old sect. When he saw his master again after all these years, he discovered that his master's once-black hair had turned white, and the only thing surrounding him was bone-chilling cold.

Eavesdropping on the people nearby, he heard them say that the immortal lord had lost his only disciple, and his hair had turned white overnight.

Following his memories, Bai Ling slipped through the formation and into his master's room, only to find it filled from floor to ceiling with portraits of himself and his belongings.

So Bai Ling followed Qi Wenxue around every day, chirping away.

"Master, don't be sad! You didn't cause my death. Cheer up~"

Later, Bai Ling became Qi Wenxue's pet bird. Later still... after accidentally pecking his master's lips, Bai Ling transformed into a human right in front of everyone.

Bai Ling finally figured out how to take human form:

He had to kiss his master. Each kiss lasted one day.

What a mess. He must have owed his master something in his previous life to have groped him before dying.

But his master was still just as gentle, not minding at all that he was kissing a bird. He even treated Bai Ling better and better, insisting they sleep together because he was worried about him.

Chirp, chirp, chirp. My beautiful master is the best.

Bai Ling never noticed the yearning in Qi Wenxue's eyes growing deeper by the day.

According to Bai Ling, who later clutched his aching waist, that look was just like someone eyeing a roasted bird, crispy on the outside and tender within.
