Yu Guchi was a sentient blue lotus under Daoist Lord Yuchen, and his sect had always treated him as a precious treasure worthy of being featured in their promotional brochure.
After serving as their mascot for twenty-one years, he ignored the horrified expressions of his master, senior brothers and sisters, and junior brothers and sisters, and without looking back
started swimming.
It couldn't be helped. His sect was built on a real immortal island.
After swimming for forty-nine days, he finally reached shore and casually gathered up his long hair, damp from the seawater.
"Click, "
The young man turned at the sound. A famous, stone-faced agent in the entertainment industry hurriedly hid her camera, composed herself, and handed him a business card.
"Kid, want to chase your dream in show business?"
Yu Guchi blinked. His grayish eyes thoughtfully turned toward the agent's legs. "Madam, do you need an exorcism?"
The little ghost clinging to the female agent's leg shivered. Like a little roly-poly toy, it tottered over to the young man's leg and grabbed his hair with its chubby little paws.
"Aba ya." Don't kill me.
"Yiya." I'll be good.
From that day on, Yu Guchi led a happy life, finding mothers for tadpoles (crossed out) little ghost babies, and helping all sorts of big shots reconcile with their own ghost babies. The only problem was
He glanced with a bit of a headache at the five ghost babies building a human pyramid in the living room. Sensing his gaze, they raised their hollow (crossed out) lively big eyes to look at him.
"Yiba! Bo!" Daddy! Hug!
At the metaphysical arts tournament (not really), the Metaphysical Studies Forum, everyone saw Yu Guchi covered in little ghosts and secretly mocked the former crown prince of the Orthodox Sect. Now that he had come out into the world, he had actually taken up such vile, heretical arts.
"A lotus spirit? A demon is still a demon."
The moment the man finished speaking, the reclusive Orthodox Sect poured out in full force. The purple-robed Daoist at their head darkened his expression.
"What did you just call my Chichi?"
The man turned pale and hurriedly tried to explain, failing to notice the five well-behaved little ghosts clinging to the young man narrowing their blood-red eyes and staring coldly at him.
Reading guide:
1. The protagonist is a lotus spirit with his own principles. His worldview is rather unusual. While everyone else is screaming, he says the villain's line: Things are getting interesting.
2. Supporting characters: five ghost babies and lots of other ghost babies. The five are clingy little crybabies in front of Daddy, but become great demons when they're away from him.
3. The protagonist and the little ones dote on each other. No CP, warm and lighthearted.
4. Modern fictional setting. The metaphysical arts are just for entertainment.
5. Thanks to the kind forum goose for sharing the pre-release cover, quack.
