The Escaping Witch Cultivates Immortality Under a Secret Identity

The Sword Immortal Tangli saved a baby after slaying demons and sent her to be raised as the adopted daughter of the Luo family's Third Concubine in Yancheng. The baby was famous because her face was so shocking that everyone who saw her had to remark, "Unbelievably ugly."

The Third Concubine repeatedly comforted her adopted daughter, saying that being a little ugly didn't matter. She would leave her daughter plenty of treasured jewels, enough to keep her well-fed and clothed for the rest of her life. She mustn't be sad about it.

Luo Xiaoxiao, who wasn't sad at all: ... Thank you, Mother.

She had cut off her own horns, torn off her own wings, and chopped off her own tail. What did she have to be sad about?

How else could she blend in with the crowd?

But the others didn't see it that way.

Her adoptive mother gave her box after box of jewels. Afraid she would be bullied, the Sword Immortal Tangli tutored her privately every day and gave her secret manuals. Her senior brother sold the blood-replenishing pills she'd made by hand while slaying demons, and every demon was thoroughly looted so its belongings could be given to her. Her senior sister beat up anyone who insulted her, one by one, after dragging them into an alley in a sack, and brought her all kinds of rare flowers and herbs gathered in the wild.

Luo Xiaoxiao: ...

Please, no more. Keep this up and we could buy all of Yancheng.

Sometimes, Luo Xiaoxiao wondered whether people who cultivated immortality had already left all vulgar interests behind.

She knew all too well what she looked like after she'd been disfigured. A pampered darling, adored by everyone? She might as well stop dreaming and go to bed. She had to get up early tomorrow to sell spirit herbs.

But at some point, more and more followers willing to risk their lives for her began gathering behind her.

Luo Xiaoxiao looked at her face in the mirror, so ugly it offended both gods and men, and felt confused.

Did immortals never care about looks?

Was everyone in this cultivation world really so refined and above such things?
