I Dumped the Divine Lord, and Now He's at My Door

Blurb

A bored Divine Lord of an ancient kingdom imposed a hundred thousand layers of restrictions on himself, then conjured up over a hundred clones and sent them all over the land to find some fun.

Word got out, and every province and city was thrown into turmoil. A fortuitous encounter, an incredible opportunity!

Chi Li was reborn, with a man lying beside him who looked even better than a hundred-year-old rare medicinal herb.

From the memories of his rebirth, this man seemed to be some kind of Divine Lord.

Once the Divine Lord regained his memories, he would give Chi Li great benefits.

Chi Li was born frail and unable to cultivate, so he had no idea whether this Divine Lord would be any use.

But he had no idea how long it would take for the man's memories to return, and raising another person was expensive.

He had heard the man was still an idiot when he first woke up.

The "idiot" groaned, and blood began seeping from the hole in his forehead again. Chi Li got up and went to work.

The man woke while Chi Li was treating him. Pale-faced, he tugged at Chi Li's sleeve, bleeding as he struggled to say, "I have nothing to repay you with. I'll give myself to you."

Chi Li frowned at the nonsense, stuck silver needles into him, and manually muted him.

With wars raging and the provinces in turmoil, Chi Li could no longer work as a physician.

The Divine Lord was still an "idiot." He ate a lot, couldn't think on his feet, and followed Chi Li everywhere. Whenever trouble arose, all he knew to do was stand in front of him.

Chi Li wasn't going to wait for some remote chance to cultivate anymore. He had to get rid of the man.

He used the one thing the man had been longing for to trick him: "You said you'd give yourself to me. But custom says we can't see each other before the wedding."

"We'll meet again on our wedding night."

Chi Li left him behind and returned to Hezhou, where he became the carefree little prince people spoke of, living like a wandering crane among the clouds.

In reality, people who couldn't cultivate had no say in anything, and Chi Li was ordered to marry into another kingdom.

On the eve of his departure, Chi Li stood in Hezhou's floating city and gazed at the stars. Legend had it that every star represented a true god, immortal and unchanged since time immemorial.

Then an unbelievable sight unfolded before his eyes: one star after another exploded.

A true god had fallen? The heavens and earth were in turmoil.

Everyone in the world saw the fragments of the stars gather and rearrange themselves into a sentence.

"Chi Li, liars have to swallow a thousand silver needles."

If he hadn't said it, he wouldn't have to.

Only Chi Li heard those words.
