[See the cover for the original title] (Rambling: I don't think the original title has anything to do with the story, but I can't afford a new cover, so it'll have to do.)
As the Domain Lord of one region of the Immortal Realm, I consider myself a little unlucky. I befriended one pain-in-the-neck friend, and I work alongside a whole bunch of pain-in-the-neck colleagues.
"You can't do that!" one colleague complained.
"That was really out of line," said another.
The Domain Lord cultivated the Heartless Dao, severing his ties and desires and remaining pure and detached. Naturally, he was quite unhappy with their behavior.
"I'm not taking disciples. And if I do, it'll be someone I approve of." One sentence from the Domain Lord left them speechless. A bunch of old men had been counting on him to teach a disciple and revitalize the Immortal Realm.
Unable to persuade him, they had no choice but to give up. Then one day, the Domain Lord's pain-in-the-neck friend was exposed. The Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm had always been at odds, and the Domain Lord's actions enraged everyone. They rose up to condemn him.
After being reborn, the Domain Lord became an idle elder on Nanyu Mountain. With nothing to do, he took in a disciple and let him fend for himself, only to raise a pain in the neck.
"Have you taken other disciples, Master? You haven't spared me a thought all these years. If that disciple out there is better, then go to him."
"Is the food I make no longer to your taste, Master?"
"You can drink medicine that bitter, but you won't even try the soup I made."
The Domain Lord: Wait, what happened to you over the past few years? You weren't like this before!
The Domain Lord rubbed his forehead. Now he had another pain-in-the-neck disciple.
Though the Domain Lord acted differently from others, he was refined and noble, with an otherworldly bearing. Whenever the cultivation world faced disaster, he was always the first to rush into the fray.
So why, after he sacrificed himself for the Dao and was laid to rest with great honors, could his corpse still come back to life on Nanyu Mountain?
The Domain Lord stared at the person who looked exactly like him, yet wasn't him, and asked, "What on earth did you dig up?"
The wicked disciple: "...I used unorthodox methods to bring him back to life."
The Domain Lord: "I told you that if my disciple ever practiced unorthodox methods, I'd beat him to death."
The wicked disciple raised his chin and said, "In my eyes, your Heartless Dao is an unorthodox method too."
"Once I've dealt with this, I'll beat you to death."
One-on-one romance, slow burn, love grows over time, cultivation world, rebirth.
A gentleman like jade deserves pure white snow. Tonight, he drinks beneath the moon, while apricot blossoms fall alone.
Couple: Shen Shiluo, a beautiful powerhouse who is occasionally absentminded, X Song Xi, a black-hearted split personality who acts like a harmless fool.
The moon of yesteryear still shines on me.
Theme: Even after falling to rock bottom, keep reaching toward the sun
Woohoo, my little apprentice is so cute.
I just started watching it and it feels pretty good.
Collect it first, then look at it after you have fattened it￣￣)σ
