You Are in This World

After Xie Linlang failed his tribulation, he somehow ended up inside a servant disciple's jade pendant, becoming the popular sort of golden finger: an old man living in an accessory. Xie Linlang had planned to slack off, but then he noticed that the disciple looked remarkably like his Dao companion, Pei Ji, who had died over a hundred years ago. * "Could he be Pei Ji's reincarnation?" That's what Xie Linlang thought, so he perked up and began seriously guiding the disciple in his cultivation. * That is, until Jiyue Palace was struck by disaster. In front of countless disciples, the Palace Master cleaved the sea apart with a single sword strike and stood suspended in midair. Then he came to stand before Xie Linlang. Pei Jiyue, the Demonic Lord of Jiyue, had the worst reputation in the Demon Realm. His brutal methods and fearsome name were enough to keep children awake at night. His eyes were bloodshot, and his hoarse voice carried a chilling edge as he asked in a soft, gentle tone, "Who were you smiling at just now?" Xie Linlang was silent for over ten seconds, his eyes turning red too. "You were alive all this time. Why did you hide it from me for a hundred years?" The Demonic Lord, who had been radiating murderous intent and swaggering about just moments before, immediately shrank back. "I... There was a reason for it..." * Thank goodness, you're still alive. Ascending to immortality is nothing compared to having you here in the mortal world. A few disclaimers: 1. This is my kind of melodramatic story. I wanted to write something fun and not too serious, so I let myself run wild. Please don't worry about logic or details. Everything serves the plot. 2. The setting is a traditional cultivation fantasy with a power-progression storyline. Our protagonist, Xiao Xie, acts faster than he speaks, so some of his behavior may seem deranged. He has his own logic. Please don't apply real-world standards to the characters' thoughts and actions. Just have fun reading and don't take it too seriously. If it doesn't suit you, let's part on good terms. 3. The demonic cultivator disciple taken in by the male lead, Xie Linlang, is Pei Jiyue's nephew, which is why they look alike. There will be stand-in jealousy and all kinds of misunderstandings. Enter at your own risk. 4. A bottom who acts faster than he speaks, paired with a top whose mind is as sick as his quick hands and mouth. This is my kind of romance. The two leads are equals. Neither is perfect, but together they complement each other and become flawless and invincible. 5. Xie Linlang starts out as a jade pendant, but he'll quickly rebuild his immortal body.
