All She Wants Is to Be a Sword Cultivator, but She Has a Panda!

[The heroine really can punch boulders to pieces*Female One-Punch Hero]

■ Shi Yanqing's Personal Profile:

① Appearance: In the 0.001% of the cultivation world who don't need face-beautifying pills

② Dream: To become the strongest sword cultivator

③ Killer move: An ordinary little fist

④ Attribute: Five Elements, lots of Metal

As the only child of the Hehuan Sect's leader, Shi Yanqing grew up listening to her senior brothers and sisters sing the praises of sword cultivators: how amazing they were, how strong they were, how cute they were, and so on.

So, from a young age, she wanted to become an elegant, powerful sword cultivator!

At the age of twenty, with a little help from her money, she successfully entered the world's number one sect, the Wuji Sword Sect.

At last, Shi Yanqing could hardly wait to begin learning how to become the strongest sword cultivator of her generation!

Burning with enthusiasm, she threw herself into it! Shi Shi wasn't afraid of hardship or hard work!

And then... she discovered that the swords of the Sword Sect were all incredibly "fragile."

Shi Yanqing: "...???"

While everyone else practiced their daily sword swings, the black-iron sword in Shi Yanqing's hand went "crack" and broke.

While everyone else practiced flying on their swords, Shi Yanqing gently took out a dark-iron sword, only for it to bend with a "thwack."

When everyone else began studying sword techniques, all Shi Yanqing could do was wave her little fists and imitate the moves.

Shi Yanqing: QAQ This isn't what I imagined sword cultivators would be like. Not at all.

One day, while out on an excursion with her fellow disciples, they came across the legendary ferocious, savage iron-eating beast rampaging through a bamboo forest. The moment Shi Yanqing got a good look at it, she knew: this was the spirit beast of her dreams! They were fated to be together!

Shi Yanqing carefully pinched the iron-eating beast by the scruff and carried it off!

After that:

Spirit beast? Got one!

Pillow? Got one!

Mount? Got one!

Living hot-water bottle? Got one!

From then on, she was the cultivation world's first "real" sword cultivator to own an iron-eating beast!

Who would have thought that the mighty Demon Venerable, the terror of all ghosts, would be ambushed while breaking through a new realm, then end up being picked up by a little girl?

Under the pressure of her brute strength, the great Demon Venerable, with his injured core, lived a "miserable" life under this naive girl's care.

The iron-eating beast grumbled and whined every day, furious beyond words! How dare these mere mortals presume to stand as equals with this venerable one?!

Then Shi Yanqing reached into her storage bracelet and pulled out a hundred pounds of jade bamboo shoots for it.

Demon Venerable: Damn it! Does this venerable one look like the sort of iron-eating beast who'd bow his head for a few bamboo shoots?!

A little while later, Demon Venerable Yuchi Yuan, full to the brim and enjoying a moment of bliss: So delicious~ Once I return to the Demon Realm, I'll strip the entire mountain that grows these jade bamboo shoots bare and bring them back!

◆Reading Guide:

⑴ Shi Yanqing has maxed-out obliviousness, a tough personality, and a powerful inner core. Every day she works hard at both becoming the strongest sword cultivator and raising an iron-eating beast well.

⑵ The Demon Venerable spends every day torn between wanting to kill this silly girl with one swipe of his paw and loving her bamboo shoots and cat-petting technique too much.
