Taming Demons

[Daily updates, though the recent update schedule has been irregular]

A new Demon God is born in the Rift of Demons. According to the prophecy, this Demon God will one day command the demons, slaughter the immortal sects, and overturn the Three Realms.

Zi Ling calculates that the Demon God has just awakened from a long sleep and has yet to recover his strength. This is the perfect time to nip the threat in the bud.

She sets off with her sword.

The young Demon God, wrapped in a huge black robe, gives her a pale smile and waves her ten meters away.

Zi Ling brushes off her hem and gets up.

Never mind. I can't beat him.

But the young Demon God refuses to let her go, forcibly binding her with a master-servant contract.

Demon God: "You want to kill me? Then I'll make you my lackey. You'll submit meekly at my feet."

Zi Ling: Oh, wow. I've infiltrated the enemy camp without even trying.

Books say that patience is the most important thing when taming a beast.

Zi Ling has always been patient, and she's even more forgiving when facing prey she's determined to catch.

The little Demon God is her prey.

Before the hunt begins, she must first soften the beast's claws and fangs, calm its ferocity, and tame this cruel god into a docile creature who's easy to placate...

Then she waits for her chance.

One killing blow.

The Demon God doesn't trust Zi Ling, but when turmoil breaks out among the demons, it's this unsatisfactory little fairy who takes him on the run, helping him evade everyone's notice.

As they travel through the mortal world, the little fairy is lively and winsome, as sly as a fox. In front of him, she is always smiling, with a gentle temper.

Her eyes always hold his image. She always listens with such earnest warmth, as if he were the one light in all creation worth gazing upon.

At first, the Demon God thinks:

When we return to the Demon Realm, I'll give her a minor official post.

Later, the Demon God decides that making her his Left Guardian isn't a bad idea.

Later still, he decides that Left Guardian isn't quite right.

Zi Ling... It would be wonderful if she could be his Demon Queen.

Mara is the embodiment of all living beings' suffering, born unable to experience joy.

Mara grows a heart.

And falls in love with someone.

Much, much later, the young Demon God discovers the truth and seeks her out, his eyes red.

"What am I to you, exactly...?" The Demon God grips her shoulders, each word torn from him as if with blood. "Would you show pity even to a stray dog on the roadside? Have you ever been moved by my feelings, even for a moment...?"

Zi Ling listens quietly until he finishes. After a long pause, she asks in surprise, "Are we in that kind of relationship?"

Demon God: "..."

Waaah...

#The Demon God wakes in the middle of the night: Why aren't we in that kind of relationship!#

#Yes, we had a love story. It was all in my head.#

The good news is, she's always been a very good person.

The bad news is...

She's always been a very good person.

Next novel: I'm the Villain, and the Male Lead Is My Hype Man

Tang Wan transmigrates and gets the role of the great villain.

Her father is the leader of the immortal sects and the lord of Primordial Immortal Island. Her mother is the Yin Ruins Demoness, who burst onto the scene years ago. Together, her parents swept across the four seas and eight wastelands, and no one dares oppose them.

As for Tang Wan herself...

"You rely on your noble birth and look down on everyone. You're cruel and tyrannical, beating and berating your servants whenever things don't go your way. And I'm hardly the only person you've bullied over the years!"

Tang Wan points at herself. Me?

She's just a weak, helpless college student who's liable to drop dead at any moment!

The bad news is that her original self made countless enemies.

The worse news is that one second before she transmigrated, her original self was ambushed and lost all her cultivation.

Tang Wan clenches her tiny fists, powerless to even truss a chicken, and despairs.

#A disastrous start from the start#

#I can't beat them. I can't beat a single one of them.#

-

Tang Wan just barely manages to intimidate the crowd of enemies lining up to beat her, relying on her "noble birth."

Then one day, she sees a glimmer of hope.

At the Immortal Sect Tournament, a young man from a fallen family stands unmoved amid a storm of mockery. Tang Wan hears the taunts, "You want justice for your father? Hahahaha..." "Who does he think he is, daring to act out here?" "He's just a good-for-nothing young master from a good-for-nothing family..." Tears fill her eyes.

I've seen this scene! I've seen this scene!

He has to be the male lead!

That's how it always goes in novels!

A soft laugh rings out from the Immortal Inquiry Platform. The exquisite, ornate robes of a young woman are half concealed by the clouds.

"Justice?"

"Come up here, and I'll give you justice."

In the dead silence, the young man gazes at the slender, jade-white finger she extends.

With unshakable resolve, he steps onto the Immortal Inquiry Platform.

-

As the ancients say, the male lead and the villain are sworn enemies...

Tang Wan: Don't say that.

Whether they're enemies can wait. She's a college student, so cut her some slack.

Xie Xiujun has followed her for two months, and now everyone across the four seas and eight wastelands knows his name.

Her enemies curse him: "Are you Tang Wan's dog?! Wherever she goes, you go?!"

Xie Xiujun remains expressionless, cutting them down one by one.

Tang Wan is very satisfied. Yes, spread the word about us just like that.

He's my spokesperson.

If you want to kill me, kill him first.
