An Untouchable? Demon Venerable!

Red-hearted, cold-blooded snake demon lord gong X dark-skinned, cold-resistant cat disciple shou

There is a saying among the demons: if a cat has no demonic nature, it isn't a cat. The spirit cat Wei Yingxi died in his previous life at the hands of the demon lord Mu Tingluo. Reborn, he didn't return to seek revenge, but kept six words in mind as his rule for survival: If you can't beat them, keep out of their way...

Cat Lord Wei Yingxi figured that in his previous life he had plenty of cat nature, but not enough wildness. So in this life, if he wanted to get out and run wild, he had to stay away from Mu Tingluo. Who could have guessed that on the day he was reborn, he'd fall into a bathhouse while trying to sneak a peek at a snake shedding its skin? They say one glance can bind you for life. That glance cost him not only his feline dignity, but his cat nature too, turning him completely into a snake. Meanwhile, the demon lord he couldn't afford to offend turned into a cat!

Reborn: the present...

"Mu Tingluo! Remove your old snake family's mark from me, or I'll shed my skin right in front of you in no time!"

Mu Tingluo calmly held out a cat paw. "Very good. When you're done shedding, I'll borrow your new scales to trim my claws."

"..."

Reborn: ongoing...

"Demon Lord, be nice to me. I'm one of your old snake family's people!"

Mu Tingluo nodded with satisfaction. "Good. Our old snake family happens to need someone to tend the stove. You'll keep us warm in winter from now on."

"..."

Reborn: the future...

"Tingluo, what do we do? Your old snake family's mark won't come off!"

"Then wear it for the rest of your life."

"Isn't a lifetime a long time?"

"Is it? But don't we demons only get one lifetime?"

"I don't care. Make it longer!"

"All right, then let's make this lifetime last a little longer..."

Cat Lord's memo:

1. Cat-and-snake pairing profile:

Cat demon shou: Age: one thousand years; demon soul: a cat in his previous life, a snake in this one; soul weapon: a giant scythe in his previous life, a poop stirrer in this one; favorite species: fish (snakes are pretty good too); best dish: Five-Mud Porridge (the demons call it Five-Poison Porridge); daily work: placating snakes and teasing birds; personality: lethally feline...

Snake demon gong: Age: five thousand years; demon soul: unlucky this time around, switched with the shou; soul weapons: Red Snow Sword, Firewind Blades; pet raised at home: a blue-eyed cockatoo; pet who appeared out of nowhere: the cat upstairs (Cat Lord, whom the demon lord can't afford to keep...); daily work: pest control and petting cats; personality: red-hearted snake nature...

2. No visits to the human or divine realms, just touring the demon realm.

3. As long as Xiao Hu doesn't flop, this will definitely be updated until it's complete.

4. I've rounded out the numbers, so don't pass by without stopping!
