The Sickly Beauty Heavenly Master’s Daily Quest to Prolong His Life

[No V Novel, the whole story is free, updates whenever I can]

Honey, I'm writing something a little different in this one: Chinese-style horror, the supernatural, folk culture, feng shui, tombs, burials, and strange tales. That's the plan for now.

[Honey, tap my Weibo @IAmSweetAndSpicy_ to hear about the writing progress early]

Dong Yang is the sole heir to a wealthy family. His main job is as a feng shui master, and his side job is CEO of his father's company. He's fair-skinned and gorgeous, and especially rich, but unfortunately in poor health.

The latest terrible news is especially devastating: Dong Yang has been diagnosed with a terminal illness and has only a few years left.

Dong Yang spreads his hands. "Whatever. I've lived long enough already."

A thing calling itself a Merit System comes knocking. "You can't die!"

Dong Yang raises an eyebrow. "That's stating the obvious. Can you extend my life?"

The System promises, "Of course!"

Dong Yang scowls and slams the door. "Get lost."

But the System still manages to get Dong Yang to agree to its life-extension terms. He installs the Life Extension app, and it offers him two choices: exorcise spirits by force to earn 100 merit points, with 1,000 exorcisms adding ten years to his life.

Dong Yang asks, "What else?"

The System says, "Use your feng shui skills to send those troublesome spirits on their way. You get 10,000 points each time, and each one adds ten years to your life!"

Dong Yang narrows his eyes. "Do you know how math works?"

Those were simply the rules, and math had nothing to do with it.

So Dong Yang thinks it over and agrees.

After leaving the beginner's village, Dong Yang feels he's more or less adjusted, so he accepts the System's new terms and begins exploring new maps, venturing farther and farther afield: human-skin burial shrouds, the deadly coffin in a desolate town, the Yellow Springs Road, the Wailing Ghosts' Grave, the Seven Fiends' Mother-and-Child Well deep in the mountains, and a coffin shop never visited by the living.

Dong Yang leaves looking frail and sickly, and comes back just the same. All the deities assume he's failed. But then he holds up his phone, showing the Life Extension app, and stands before a statue with a troubled expression, bargaining: "Boss, I've finished every dungeon. A hundred years of life is a bit too much. Find a way to take some off. I don't want to live that long."

The Life Extension System: "..."

Back in the day, Dong Yang entered the world of Daoist arts at a very young age to find a way to stay alive and apprenticed himself to a master, though he never became a monk. He had a senior fellow disciple named Chen Qi, who was tall and handsome.

Chen Qi was a man of few words, equally compassionate toward everyone, and never liked getting involved in other people's business. Once he was done dealing with something, he left.

But he was different with Dong Yang, following him wherever he went.

Dong Yang sees Chen Qi hurrying over while he's out exorcising spirits. "Senior Brother, weren't you traveling the world?"

"Ah." Chen Qi takes off his coat and drapes it over Dong Yang. "I cast a divination and realized you'd gone somewhere dangerous again. I was worried."

Dong Yang stammers, "Senior Brother Chen, Master said you shouldn't get too close to me because..."

"Don't call me Senior Brother anymore, Yangyang. I've left the clergy."

Chen Qi smiles. "I said farewell to our Grandmaster. For the rest of this life, I'll stay by your side first."

#When you meet your soulmate, start a family; when you meet your benefactor, build your career. It's hard to be loyal and filial at once, and harder still to defy the path of love. I think the Grandmaster knows this is my destiny.

#Dong Yang, I love you.
