[Journey to the West] Nezha's Spirit Pet Is No Easy Job

[My new story, "[Journey to the West] I Picked Up a Frail Husband Who Turned Out to Be Nezha," is now underway. Please add it to your favorites!]

Xi Qia had two first encounters with Nezha.

Three hundred years ago, she got into trouble for secretly eating the Buddha's incense flowers and ceremonial candles, and Nezha captured her when he came to Mount Ling. The graceful young boy, fine-boned and beautiful, wore flowing red robes and stood at ease, remarking that she had some nerve.

Xi Qia was terrified that first time, and immediately begged for her life.

"Spare me, mighty hero! I'll be your spirit pet and keep you entertained!"

Nezha was unmoved. He raised an eyebrow and coolly replied, "I like them bold and mighty. You're not my type."

"I'm fluffy and soft. I'm lovely to pet."

"..."

And so she followed the red-robed boy and became his spirit pet for three hundred years.

Three hundred years later, she was punished by being sent down to the mortal world for falling in love with a mortal. She lost her memories, but then they met again. He was still the same brash, carefree young prince, his features sharp. For the second time, he told her she had some nerve.

Nezha thought she would be just like before: gentle-eyed, obedient in everything, and softly calling him "little master."

But Xi Qia had become a powerful demon queen in her own right. Unafraid, she simply watched him with an amused, knowing smile.

"Where did this little boy come from? Call me big sister, and I'll spare your life."

Nezha: ???

Reading Guide:

1. The little rat spirit falls for him first. Later, heartbroken and disillusioned, she forgets the past. Nezha comes to his senses and slowly has to win her back.

2. The heroine is gentle at first but gradually learns to stand her ground. After all, being independent and self-reliant is the best. She's a sweet girl, I think. There's not much angst, and the main story is about two people falling in love.

3. The story unfolds chronologically. The regret and pursuit come later.

--Pre-release: "[Journey to the West] I Picked Up a Frail Husband Who Turned Out to Be Nezha"--

After spending three hundred years in the world of Journey to the West, Yun Jiao gave up on ever ascending to immortality and angrily joined the demons instead. She became a powerful demon queen, living quite comfortably.

One day, her demon underlings presented her with a blind mortal boy.

His face was as fair as if powdered, his lips as red as if painted, and he was even more alluring than Red Boy, one of her underlings.

She took a liking to him on the spot. So what if he was blind? He could still rub her shoulders and back!

Fierce Demon Queen Yun Jiao: "You're useless, but you're pretty. Just focus on having a romance with me. Don't ask about anything else. Understand?"

The handsome young man had a profound look in his eyes. "Yes, I'll do as you say, my lady."

Though her husband was frail and couldn't take care of himself, he was indeed extremely obedient and did everything she said.

Yun Jiao was very pleased, but the little demons under her were starting to cause trouble more and more often, repeatedly provoking the Heavenly Court.

She sensed something was wrong and went out to investigate.

Then she saw her usually frail, blind husband fighting Red Boy, looking like he could slaughter his way through heaven, his red robes stained with blood and his murderous aura overwhelming.

Yun Jiao: ???

Who could have guessed that the frail husband she'd picked up for free was the Heavenly Court's God of War, Nezha!

Yun Jiao returned to her cave in a daze. Nezha had already returned before her, changed into the white robes she liked, and smiled as he said, "Are you tired from going out, my lady? Stretch out your legs and let your husband massage them."

When it was over, Yun Jiao's cheeks were flushed and her head was spinning. "Don't think I can't beat you. I just took our marriage into consideration..."

Nezha: "Yes, I'll do as you say, my lady."

A mysterious and little-known demon queen suddenly appeared in the mortal world.

With the journey west about to begin, Nezha was sent down by the Buddha to investigate. He disguised himself as a frail mortal and, as it happened, was snatched into a demon's lair to become the husband of its ruler.

Rumor had it she was powerful and vicious, with a terrifying face that could make children cry at night.

But when Nezha entered her cave, a fragrant breeze washed over him.

A beautiful young woman spoke softly: "You're handsome... Have a romance with me... %&#%... Understand?"
