Cangming, the Supreme Elder of Cangyi Mountain, wished to overcome his inner demon tribulation, so he hired a senior monk from Cizang Temple at a high price to protect him.
The one who arrived was a beautiful young woman, with features as radiant as the moon and a figure as slender as a willow. When she smiled, she was like a mountain in bloom.
As a demon with nowhere left to turn, Ruchen had no choice but to disguise herself as a senior monk to escape danger. She reminded herself to be meticulous, follow the process for overcoming the inner demon tribulation to the letter, help Cangming pass it, and keep her identity hidden.
But as she kept helping him, why was Cangming getting stranger and stranger?
At first:
Cangming, cool and indifferent: "Just recite the scriptures, Master."
Cangming: "I follow the merciless path. My sword is merciless, and so am I."
Cangming: "Anyone who stands in the way of my pursuit of the supreme sword path will be slain."
Later:
Cangming: "The more you recite the scriptures, Master, the harder it is to calm my feelings."
Cangming: "Master, how can I be without feelings if I have never experienced love?"
Cangming: "Love has its pleasures too. Why don't you join me, Master?"
Ruchen: "This is ridiculous. Did I help the Immortal Venerable overcome his tribulation, only for the one who survived to be his inner demon?"
Later, Cangming successfully overcame his tribulation.
But when Cangyi Mountain held its celebrations, Cangming was nowhere to be found.
The most sensational news in the Qingping Realm in a thousand years: The Supreme Elder of Cangyi Mountain, who followed the merciless path, had been whisked away by a senior monk from Cizang Temple!
The second most sensational news: The Supreme Elder of Cangyi Mountain stormed into Cizang Temple with his sword and forced the senior monk Ruchen to leave the monastic life!
Holding the Cangyi Sword, powerful enough to raze Cizang Temple to the ground, Cangming smiled with an air of innocence. "I'm not here to break up Cizang Temple. I'm here to join it."
He said to Ruchen, "You once said I looked delicious. Now you've eaten your fill and run off. I just wanted to ask: Am I not delicious anymore?"
Ruchen: "..."
Please don't make such a scene. My identity as a demon is about to be exposed!
