Su Nuan was framed and fell into the Burial Demon Abyss, a place that struck terror into the hearts of everyone in the cultivation world. She thought she would die there, but by an unexpected twist of fate, she found a cultivation method suited to her.

Just as her cultivation surged and she prepared to return to the cultivation world for revenge, a little black cat pawed at the hem of her skirt.

Su Nuan looked at the cat expressionlessly, knowing that nothing in the Burial Demon Abyss was harmless.

But the cat sat obediently on the ground, its big golden eyes fixed on her. It licked its paw, rubbed at its little ear, then turned around in place and let out a sweet little "Meow~"

It looked utterly harmless and incredibly cute.

Su Nuan took a deep breath, picked up the black cat by the scruff, and said seriously, "Behave, understand?"

The cat gave a sweet little "Meow," as obedient as could be.

It wasn't until she took the cat outside that Su Nuan realized how much of a handful the little thing was.

After dealing yet again with the mess this troublemaker had caused, Su Nuan looked into those innocent eyes and began to seriously wonder:

Was it so restless because its mating season was coming?

The Demon Venerable Mo Yang had once been the terror of the cultivation world. The righteous sects had set a trap and sealed him in the Burial Demon Abyss for nine hundred years, forcing the demon cultivators and beast cultivators to go into hiding.

Just as he thought the Burial Demon Abyss would drain away all his cultivation and leave his soul to perish, a human cultivator fell from the sky.

She carried a rich aura of spiritual energy, making all the demons restless, including Mo Yang.

But this female cultivator punched demon wind pigs and kicked coiling flame snakes, cutting through demons as easily as chopping vegetables while her cultivation soared.

Mo Yang considered his options and wisely chose a safe path: pretend to be a cute cat, use the woman to get out first, and figure out the rest later.

Once he got out, he would summon his former subordinates, revive the demonic path, and make those so-called righteous cultivators understand just how fearsome the Demon Venerable was!

However, things did not go as planned.

Before he could restore his cultivation or contact his old followers, the woman carried him to a spirit-beast veterinarian and asked seriously:

"How much does it cost to neuter a cat?"

Mo Yang: ????!!!!

Su Nuan thought she had simply rescued a kitten that had accidentally fallen into the Burial Demon Abyss just like her.

But later, she watched as the long-haired man standing amid a sea of corpses turned around, his clothes soaked black with blood.

He raised his left hand in a half fist beside his cheek. The corners of his mouth curved naturally into a catlike smile. He winked at her, his slit pupils gradually relaxing into round golden eyes, then parted his thin lips...

"Meow~"

His voice was deep and rich, utterly captivating.

Su Nuan immediately backed away three steps and eyed the man suspiciously, thinking: Did I pick up the wrong cat? This thing absolutely isn't my cat!

Content notes:

1. The story follows the female lead. The male lead doesn't take human form until Chapter 28; before then, he stays by her side in cat form, lying low.

2. Male characters other than the male lead have romantic interest in the female lead. Read with caution if that bothers you.

--Bonus Story: My Scumbag Turned Out to Be My Master--

As the youngest daughter of a cultivation family,

Gu Linzhi didn't need to bring honor to her family or inherit its business.

Her greatest dream in life was to live as an ordinary person, find a good man, treat each other with respect, grow old together, and stay by each other's side forever.

Then she found him.

Then he cheated on her.

After waiting in vain for that ordinary man for decades,

Gu Linzhi dropped the spell that kept her looking young, calmly packed her belongings, and went home to let her family know she was safe.

With her family watching anxiously, she set off for Xuandao Immortal Sect, the top sect in the cultivation world.

To hell with love! This old lady doesn't care about it anymore! Cultivation is the true path in life!

At that time, the powerful immortal lord Jingheng, Guan Cong, emerged from a hundred-year seclusion after undergoing tribulations and began accepting disciples at Xuandao Immortal Sect.

According to the rumors, Guan Cong was a once-in-ten-thousand-years cultivation genius. He had a sharp tongue and a harsh manner, but he could pinpoint the heart of any matter with a single sentence. Everyone he had ever advised had made great strides in cultivation.

There was no shortage of people who wanted to become his disciples. Countless people wanted to join his school at this disciple-selection ceremony.

To strengthen her resolve to seek the Dao, Gu Linzhi refused her family's offer to pull strings for her and directly chose the most difficult challenge.

Then she became Guan Cong's only disciple.

While everyone looked at her with envy, Gu Linzhi shut her heart to love and devoted herself to seeking the Dao, but she could never see her master's true face.

Then one day, she saw one of the few portraits of Immortal Lord Jingheng, turned around, and rushed back to her lodgings.

She kicked open the door to her master's cave, the one he always kept shut and mysteriously guarded.

"Get out here, you scumbag!"

Sharp-tongued, harsh, reclusive powerhouse male lead x A proud, fiery female lead who has shut her heart to love and devotes herself to her career

1. There will be a love triangle, with other characters also interested in the female lead.

2. There will be a pursuit to win her back.
