A Big Shot Confiscated the Egg I'd Raised for Three Hundred Years

[Under Rewrite, Don't Read Yet!!!!!]

After the great battle to exterminate demons, the three realms each began to recover and rebuild.

Only the demon realm was shrouded in gloom. Its demon king had failed to hatch for six hundred years, and was still just an egg.

The fox demon Shen Tingyun's task was to care for that egg, wait for the demon king to hatch, and revive the demon realm.

At first, he was full of enthusiasm. If the hatchling turned out to be the demon king, wouldn't he, as its dad, become the emperor emeritus?

But after raising the egg for three hundred years, he had poured in all his effort for absolutely nothing.

As time went by, Shen Tingyun left the egg in a box and became obsessed with roast chicken and buying little erotic booklets.

Who could have guessed the egg would crack open on its own? A baby dragon crawled out, followed the scent, and swallowed the sword spirit of Hanxiao Immortal Venerable, from the Kunlun Sword Sect. After eating its fill, it called out, "Dad!"

Shen Tingyun: ??? You unfilial brat! You've got the wrong dad!

The aloof and peerless Immortal Venerable swept out a blade of icy sword energy. "Oh? Your dragon ate the Sword Sect's most treasured relic. What are you going to give us in return?"

Shen Tingyun: ...

The burden of the demon realm still fell on Shen Tingyun's shoulders, but now his job was to redeem the demon king rather than hatch him.

Sword cultivators are all broke, except Yan Xiao, because people are always sending him cartloads of treasures.

Rumors started circulating at the Cultivation Academy that Hanxiao Immortal Venerable must have a sugar daddy...

The academicians were so shocked when they heard that their beards nearly flew off. "You dare spread rumors about even the God of Death? Double your coursework!"

Yan Xiao, however, calmly admitted, "They're not wrong."

The academicians: ?

A lighthearted story, my own take on xianxia, with lots of original worldbuilding.

At its heart, this is a story about everyday life at a cultivation academy and an Immortal Venerable raising a kid.

"The Supporting Female Lead Is 800 Years Late"

Qu Yuran, a star employee at the transmigration-into-a-book bureau, finally completed a hundred book worlds and was about to take her retirement exam.

If she could earn an A+ on this cultivation novel, she could choose any small world, own a fortune of ten billion, and become a happy retired rich lady~

Everything was going beautifully, until...

The System took her on her transmigration into a book, and they were caught in a space-time storm along the way.

She landed safely, but... her transmigration was delayed.

Qu Yuran: "It's fine, Tongtong. How late are we?"

The System stammered, "...E-eight hundred years."

Qu Yuran: ???

"Take me back and transmigrate again, right now!"

"I can't, Host. This is your retirement exam, and you only get one chance to enter the exam world. If you quit, you'll fail and have to accumulate another hundred worlds before you can take it again."

Qu Yuran nearly choked. Trembling, she asked, "So what do I do?"

The System: "Maybe you could just make do and take the exam?"

Qu Yuran: "...Give me the mission."

[Beginner Mission: Bully the female lead once]

[You envy Qu Mingxue's beauty and decide to teach her a lesson by embarrassing her during the spiritual root test, but end up getting face-slapped instead. This is a beginner-level freebie, so please play your role perfectly~]

Qu Yuran asked hopefully, "Tong, the female lead hasn't taken her spiritual root test yet, has she?"

The System: "No, Host. The female lead discovered her Heavenly Spiritual Root eight hundred years ago. She's already at the Deity Transformation stage."

Qu Yuran grabbed the System and shook it violently. "Then why did you give me this beginner mission that gets me killed?!"

The System was sweating profusely. "How about we look at the next mission first?"

[Romance Mission 1: You fall in love with the male lead, so you make him some pastries yourself.]

Qu Yuran sneered. "If I'm not mistaken, the male lead has been abstaining from food for eight hundred years too, right?"

The System was very uneasy. "Y-yes. And not only that, he's been in seclusion for a hundred years. Who knows when he'll come out..."

What Qu Yuran never expected was that, in the end, she completed her missions after all.
