I Raised the Demon Venerable's Disciple into a Failure

Plump and ready for the slaughter

"Hey, did you know? The Lady Guizhen, whom the Demon Lord has been doting on lately, used to be the radiant and immaculate Fairy of Nixia Immortal Valley."

Pei Chuan was born lowly and endured every kind of humiliation. In the eyes of the world, he was the filthiest demonic cultivator. Even Nixia Immortal Valley, which claimed to teach everyone without discrimination, refused to take him in. At the end of his rope, he knelt outside the mountain gate and swore to himself: If any immortal lord would take him as a disciple, no matter their status or abilities, he would cherish his master like a treasure, serve them for the rest of his life, and never betray them.

Unfortunately, he knelt there for seven days and seven nights, and not a single immortal lord was willing to give him a proper look.

Guizhen was widely regarded as a useless person in the Nixia Immortal Realm. Her abilities were useless, her birth was useless, and although she held the title of Lord Guizhen and ruled over East Mountain, people were already about to strip her of her authority. She had secluded herself for over a century, only to return just as useless as before. It happened to be the season when Nixia Immortal Valley was recruiting disciples, and she suddenly wanted to take one on. His birth, temperament, and appearance... None of it mattered. He only had to be ambitious and talented. If a disciple like that joined her, she would raise him well, giving him whatever he wanted, and they would live together in harmony for the rest of their days.

Unfortunately, when she offered her whole heart, the younger generation fled from her as if she were a snake or a scorpion, terrified that being chosen by her would become a lifelong disgrace.

And so, a master whom nobody wanted took home a disciple whom nobody wanted. At first, each of them secretly made the most sincere vows in their heart. But in the end, neither of them kept their word.

****Little Bonus Scene****

Though Pei Chuan was a demon prince, he had once sincerely sought goodness. He tried to purify his heart and rid himself of sinful power, and had even considered having his bones removed and his blood replaced. He was determined to become a good disciple through and through, protect his sect, and serve his master.

But his beloved and respected master led him step by step to the brink of the abyss, personally pushed him into a dead end, and pressed him into the mud, forcing him to reclaim his filthy bloodline and face the lowliness buried deep in his bones.

Later, after becoming the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons, he captured Guizhen and imprisoned her in Copper Blossom Hall in the Demon Realm.

His heartless master was still brazenly biting into crystal grapes and trying to reason with him: "See? What did I tell you? You have no future on the immortal path. Even if you really reached ascension, nobody would let you join in. Accept reality early and save yourself a few thousand years of detours..."

Pei Chuan cut off her incessant chatter with a straight face. "Master, a single liang of grapes in the Demon Realm costs a hundred thousand spirit stones."

Guizhen eagerly devoured a mouthful. The sweet, crystalline juice burst in her mouth, and she said, "I know, but what am I supposed to do when I don't have a penny to my name?"

Pei Chuan clenched his not-so-well-funded stash of private savings.

Sitting on the Demon Lord's throne, Guizhen slowly wiped her hands clean and said leisurely, "Lord Guizhen of Nixia Immortal Valley is peerlessly beautiful, with the bearing and beauty of an immortal. She's priceless, as everyone knows. Why not use her as collateral to pay your debt?"

-How do you defeat a green tea?

-Understand green tea, learn from green tea, become green tea. Take the green tea's path and leave green tea with nowhere to go.

After Lin Fei died, she drifted to the Guixu. The High Gods thought she had died too pathetically and refused to accept her. They shut the door on her, then joined forces to toss her back to the starting point. Her life hadn't passed muster, so they ordered her to live it over again.

Lin Fei awoke on the morning of her tenth birthday. Her father was a God of War, her mother was a princess, and her older brother was a money-grubbing tycoon, the Immortal Realm's number one tacky socialite. Lin Fei had been the apple of everyone's eye since childhood, getting whatever she wanted.

How had she managed to ruin such a winning hand?

Lin Feng reflected painfully on a previous life in which everyone had turned against him. At last, he summed up one great truth: Sincere affection has never kept anyone around; only schemes can win people's hearts.

Oh, right. In her previous life, Lin Fei was killed by her refined, cold, exceptionally gifted husband.

Reborn, of course she was going to give him a taste of his own medicine!
