The Immortal Venerable's Dao Companion Is a Villainous Female Insect

Upright, old-fashioned immortal lord gong x carefree, flirtatious shou Just as Xie Changliu, the Venerable Lingzhou of Xuanming Sect, was about to ascend to immortality, he unexpectedly transmigrated into a melodramatic interstellar insectoid novel. Forced to bind himself to a transmigration-into-a-book System, he must play the part of a frail, delicate male insect, change the fate of the villain Hepeisi, and preserve world peace. The real Xie Changliu has an icy face, stands 188 centimeters tall, and has broad shoulders and a slim waist. A flick of his finger could send thousands of delicate male insects flying. The System: "..." To avoid being bothered by his useless System and focus on cultivating, the Venerable Lingzhou came out of retirement and started a new job. Unexpectedly, before the mission had even begun, Hepeisi's favorability plummeted below zero. He gave Xie Changliu no chance at all to change his fate. The useless System sobbed and sniffled, while the Venerable Lingzhou remained unmoved. Just as the mission was about to fail, Hepeisi suddenly shed his earlier coldness and launched a fierce courtship, going straight to the point and proposing to Xie Changliu. The System: "Well, would you look at that! Is this the art of playing hard to get?" After their wedding, the man and insect were "respectful as guests" toward each other. Hepeisi even put away his cruel streak and showed his "considerate tenderness" as a male insect's spouse. As a "male insect," Xie Changliu charged onto the battlefield for his spouse. At a critical moment, he cleaved through countless battleship cannons with a single sword strike, then gathered his filthy spouse into his arms. The battlefield recorder captured the scene. Before long, the story of Xie Changliu and Hepeisi's perfect love had spread throughout the entire insectoid empire. But no insect knew that Hepeisi had simply happened to fall into Xie Changliu's arms. At the moment Xie Changliu caught him, the immortal lord, wearing an utterly dispassionate expression, said something Hepeisi would never forget. Xie Changliu: "...Get down. You're dirty." Hepeisi: "...???" Hepeisi knew he was nothing more than a villain in a book, a laughingstock across the empire whose purpose was to make the protagonist shine. Countless so-called players came one after another, all intent on changing his fate and stopping him from turning evil because of being a "laughingstock." But he only found them tiresome. That is, until the day he fell into Xie Changliu's arms. The immortal lord from another world shielded him, brushing aside every vile insult. From then on, Hepeisi wanted that calm face to stir only for him. He became the very thing he hated most: a "player trying to win someone over." "In his black-and-white world, Hepeisi was the only color." Marriage first, love later / Ancient-to-interstellar transmigration / Mutual salvation Reading tips: 1.
