I Refuse to Become a Demon

Chen Xi died after self-destructing in the demon clan's sacred spring, foiling their great scheme and saving countless disciples of the immortal sects. When she came back to life, eighteen whole years had passed. The immortal sects had changed beyond recognition, too. The senior sister who had grown up alongside her had become the revered leader of one of the four great immortal sects. The master who had protected her since childhood had become a lord revered by all. Even the birth father she had never met had become the most mysterious and powerful figure in the immortal sects. Everyone knew that these three revered figures shared one forbidden subject: Chen Xi, their junior sister who had been dead for eighteen years. Before she was reborn, her senior sister had followed the saying, "An elder sister is as good as a mother," and kept a close eye on Chen Xi, punishing her for the slightest mistake. After she was reborn, she gave Chen Xi top-grade spiritual treasures to play with and immortal pills as snacks, all to make her happy. Before she was reborn, her master had scolded Chen Xi for being useless and associating with demons. After she was reborn, anyone who dared say a word against Chen Xi would be cut down by the mighty Immortal Venerable himself. Before she was reborn, her father had kept his identity secret, afraid to let the world know she had a mortal for a father. After she was reborn, her father had become powerful enough to turn the immortal sects upside down, and would pluck the stars from the sky for her. And no one knew that in the six thousand-plus silent, desolate, yin-filled nights after Chen Xi's death, Xie Baichuan, the famed young man from a distinguished family who had achieved unparalleled feats in the Demon-Slaying War before coming of age, had... Set up countless arrays and talismans, and recited millions of prayers for the dead, all so that one day, she might return to the world of the living. Chen Xi resolved not to court death after being reborn. She would follow the rules and be a good disciple in her master's eyes, a well-behaved junior sister in her senior sister's heart, and a sensible daughter at her father's side. But to her surprise, everyone panicked. No! My precious disciple, junior sister, daughter, are you... Master: "Are you unhappy?" Senior sister: "Don't you love us?" Birth father: "Don't you forgive us?" Chen Xi: "..." Before she could finish her silence, Xie, the Immortal Lord and the number one person in the immortal sects, was already standing beside her, shielding her from the frosty wind.

You have transmigrated to a world of immortal cultivation, into the role of the most beautiful, weakest, and most troublemaking villainess! Please strictly adhere to your character's delicate and helpless persona... Wait, that's the male lead! P-please, please raise your precious paw!" Ye Kemeng was getting a headache from the noise. She narrowed her eyes, about to bite the pigeon beneath her paw. System 666 dropped to its knees with a thud and shrieked, its voice cracking: "Host, that's the male lead, the male lead! Please raise your precious paw! Aaaaaah!" Later... "Host, that snake is the main male villain. You can't... you can't eat him." "Host, that lark is the female lead. You can't eat her either." "That phoenix isn't a protagonist, but he's the most popular character in the whole world. Y-you absolutely mustn't eat him, sob..." Ye Kemeng was puzzled. Was there really no one in this world of immortal cultivation who could put up a fight? System 666 was about to cry. What should it do when everyone in the world was on its Host's menu? -------The Hero's Blurb------- As the last phoenix in the world, Lin Yunman had not left Wugong Palace for over ten thousand years, since peace and prosperity reigned throughout the lands.
