A spirit who feeds on desire x a genius demon hunter of the modern world
Yu Tian runs a demon-hunting company on the outskirts of town, endlessly hiring probationary assistants.
Day after day, year after year.
She just coasts along, with no ambition to improve!
Aside from doing the occasional good deed, hunting a monster for a change of pace, and devouring the wicked desires of a few small demons, she spends her days curled up in the office, barely getting by with a steady stream of probationary assistants.
She has no interest in worldly affairs and treats the dazzling world around her like garbage.
Until one day...
A strange young man disrupted her closed-off life and unexpectedly became her first full-time assistant.
"Once you become permanent, your salary is canceled."
"All right, boss."
"Once you become permanent, you work all year without a day off."
"All right, boss."
"Once you become permanent..."
"All right, boss."
...What's all right about that?
She hasn't even finished talking, and he's already agreeing to everything!
There's something fishy about this.
But Yu Tian has never seen a "workaholic demon" so shameless.
With that kind of dedication, why not go succeed at something else?
Why insist on taking up space here and eating her food?
"Allow me to introduce myself. I'm He Yi, an active demon hunter of Wushang Abbey."
As soon as he finishes speaking, a demon-binding rope instantly wraps around Yu Tian.
The desire inside He Yi, which had been almost imperceptible, suddenly surges. Its purity leaves Yu Tian stunned.
So his lack of desire was all an act!
But this silly boy actually thinks she's a demon?
For some reason, the demon-binding rope around her suddenly goes slack.
Yu Tian stumbles forward and falls right into He Yi's arms.
"You caught me? Then I guess I'm sticking with you."
She never thought that after living for so long, she'd still misjudge someone.
Now that a ready-made meal ticket is right beside her, how could she let him go?
Yu Tian can't help rubbing against He Yi's collar. She takes a deep breath of his alluring qi of desire and says in a soft, trembling voice, "So, mighty little Taoist master, where are you going to take me now?"
-
Ever since He Yi could remember, he had lived in a dilapidated Taoist temple hidden in the urban sprawl of S City.
His master dumped a pile of ancient books on him but never taught him a single technique.
Perhaps he was blessed with natural talent, because he taught himself how to hunt demons.
But on the day he mastered the art, his master not only refused to look him in the eye, but also kicked him out of the temple in the middle of the night.
"It wasn't easy raising you all these years! Now that you've learned a skill, go out and find a job so you can feed yourself!"
His master's words made sense.
He Yi went from place to place looking for work, but as soon as people heard he was a demon hunter, they treated him like a freak and threw him out.
So finding a job in this world is really that hard?
Until one night...
Following a trace of demonic energy, he made his way to the outskirts of town and found a strange company.
Why was a company hiring in the middle of the night?
There was something fishy about this.
He worked hard and got hired as the boss's assistant.
At last, on the day he became a permanent employee, he caught his female boss with his own hands.
That ruthless demon who drained her relatives of their blood essence.
But why was she showing no reaction at all, despite being bound by the demon-binding rope?
"You caught me? Then I guess I'm sticking with you."
As he stood there, puzzled, Yu Tian fell toward him.
With a soft, fragrant beauty in his arms, He Yi found himself questioning his self-control for the first time in his life.
"So, mighty little Taoist master, where are you going to take me now?"
He Yi's heart pounded violently. Through the demon-binding rope, he glimpsed Yu Tian's memories and finally learned the truth about the past.
Torn between regret and relief, he gently lifted Yu Tian into his arms.
"I'll take you home."
Yu Tian thought she was going to be taken to Wushang Abbey and locked in a demon cage.
Until she saw a rental apartment even more bleak than her office.
How strange. Why did this kid's desire suddenly change the moment he came inside?
It smells so good, so sweet, so tempting...
