Little Lotus, No Slacking Off on the Path to Immortality

Another story with the same theme and setup: After Becoming the Dragon-Proud Hero's Sword Spirit. Blurb at the bottom. Please add it to your reading list!

*

Yuan Lian transmigrated into a cultivation world, but didn't become an evil villain or a cultivation prodigy.

He looked at his own jade-green body and had no choice but to accept reality: he had become a lotus flower.

Before he could even dream of dominating the cultivation world and becoming a great power, the owner of the place, an unremarkable yet unexpectedly ruthless young man, forced him into a blood pact. From then on, he became a miserable working lotus.

Yuan Lian tilted his head up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and sighed: I'm just a little lotus who wants to live in peace.

*

In an age when cultivators were everywhere and spiritual energy ran wild, everyone wanted to excel at cultivation in pursuit of immortality. But Yuan Lian, whose true form was a lotus, was planning to sunbathe until he could spread his leaves and bloom.

His plan to lie flat was ruined by Chen Jian. Seeing Chen Jian practice his sword every night and cultivate every day, determined to become the most overworked cultivator in the world, Yuan Lian was also pushed to work himself to the bone.

Yuan Lian tilted his head up at the sky at a 45-degree angle again and sighed: Help! I'm really just a little lotus who wants to laze around and do nothing!

But his chance to take it easy always came at just the right time. Sure enough, he was a little lotus favored by heaven. Even the heavens didn't want him to suffer through too much cultivation.

Besides, with such an overachieving boss, he'd reach the pinnacle of the cultivation world sooner or later. Clinging to his coattails was a pretty good deal. His dream of taking it easy was just around the corner.

After Becoming the Dragon-Proud Hero's Sword Spirit

Sang Du transmigrated into the cultivation world, but wasn't an evil villain or a dragon-proud hero protagonist.

He became the dragon-proud hero's bonded sword spirit, which at least made him tangentially related to the hero.

Becoming a sword spirit wasn't so bad, but...

The dragon-proud hero expressionlessly picked him up. "Evil spirit?"

He raised a hand to beat him into oblivion.

Sang Du had a flash of inspiration and racked his brains. "Believe me! I'm really your bonded sword's spirit!"

"They say a sword cultivator's sword is his wife, and a sword spirit is part of the sword. So how can you kill your wife?!"

The dragon-proud hero: "..."

The little sword spirit's eyes turned red. He rambled on, nearly swearing an oath to prove his loyalty, and finally managed to calm the dragon-proud hero's suspicions.

*

Overachievement ran rampant in the cultivation world, and every cultivator was a workaholic. His master was the most overworked of them all.

Sang Du just wanted to lie flat: I'm a sword spirit. What does working myself to death have to do with me? When my master ascends, I'll ascend too!

But a certain dragon-proud hero named Li Jizhen refused to let him off the hook and insisted on making him work hard too.

Sang Du: The Demon King is cold and heartless! I refuse to overwork myself!

As a new millennium human, Sang Du was an expert in all kinds of slacking-off techniques.

Li Jizhen watched it all with a dark gaze.

*

One day, Li Jizhen brought him an ancient book, saying it could shorten the time it took a sword spirit to cultivate.

Sang Du took a look: it described merging spiritual energy, which was especially effective for improving a bonded sword.

Oh, nice. Let's give it a try.

A few dozen days later, Sang Du clutched his kissed-swollen lips and rubbed his aching waist, complaining tearfully.

"This is a dual cultivation technique, isn't it? Demon King, you... you're too much!"

Li Jizhen replied calmly, "You once said that a sword is a sword cultivator's wife. The sword spirit is the same. What's wrong with me doing this to my own wife?"

Sang Du, who had literally brought this on himself: ???
