Every Day I Want to Use and Abandon the Great Demon

Everyone in the cultivation world knows that Jiang Xu, the young master of the Jiang family, the foremost beast-taming clan, is a good-for-nothing.

He has been frail since childhood, with mediocre aptitude. His family has kept him alive with rare heavenly treasures; without them, he would never even have learned the basics of Qi Refining.

But the Jiang family is rich, and they dote on him, so Young Master Jiang still gets to throw his weight around throughout the cultivation world.

Recently, another juicy piece of gossip has been making the rounds in the cultivation world.

A handsome man showed up at the Jiang estate and demanded by name that Jiang Xu marry him.

Jiang Xu was frail, so when he was little, his family sent him to a secret realm rich in spiritual energy to nurture his health and prolong his life. There, he met a “little girl” about his age.

The “little girl” loved pink skirts and wore her hair in two little buns. She was adorable and rosy-cheeked.

Jiang Xu got along wonderfully with her. They hooked pinkies, and he promised to marry her when they grew up.

But one day, the barrier suddenly became unstable, and his family hurriedly took him away. He never saw that little girl again.

He had tried looking for her, but found no trace of her.

He only heard that the secret realm had been thrown into turmoil because a vicious great demon beast, asleep for many years, was undergoing a tribulation. Perhaps the little girl hadn't escaped and had died inside.

Jiang Xu had grieved for a long time.

More than ten years later, Jiang Xu looked up at the handsome man, who was a head taller than him, then glanced at the keepsake he held out: a “marriage certificate” that looked like a child's scrawl. Doubtfully, he called, “Xiao Jin?”

The man gave a slight nod. “It's me.”

More than ten years ago, Shen Yan Jin had just taken human form. While learning to groom himself like a human, he met Jiang Xu, who had stumbled into his territory.

Jiang Xu taught him to read and draw, and even said he would marry him one day. Shen Yan Jin accepted Jiang Xu's marriage certificate, and the two formed a bond.

Later, his cultivation suddenly broke through, so he left Jiang Xu a hurried letter and went into seclusion.

The first thing he did after emerging from seclusion was follow their spiritual bond to find Jiang Xu and fulfill their promise to marry.

Jiang Xu: “...”

Jiang Xu felt like his whole world had fallen apart.

There was absolutely no way he could go through with this marriage!

But that night, the man appeared beside Jiang Xu's bed. The powerful barrier around the Jiang estate had no effect on him at all.

And, as luck would have it, every spirit beast in the Jiang estate went into a frenzy that night, trembling and cowering, not daring to move.

Beside Jiang Xu's bed, the man furrowed his brows. Recalling a new phrase he'd heard from the neighbors that day, he took one of Jiang Xu's hands and asked earnestly, “A Xu, are you going to use me and then throw me away?”

Jiang Xu, who had already received a voice transmission from his father and was lying flat, pretending to be dead: “...”

To stop the ferocious beast who loved wearing women's clothes and tricking people from flattening the Jiang estate, Jiang Xu was forced to become his husband in name only.

Fortunately, although the beast's strength was unfathomable, he was rather slow-witted. Whatever Jiang Xu said went, and he was very easy to placate.

To get rid of him as soon as possible without angering this terrifying powerhouse, Jiang Xu began brainwashing him day after day with lines from romance novels:

“My aptitude is mediocre and my cultivation is shallow. I'm afraid I can't stay by your side for the rest of your life.”

“I can't bear to watch myself grow old while you fall in love with someone else.”

“If I could, I would rather we had never begun.”

The man kept his brows furrowed. “I won't fall in love with anyone else.”

Jiang Xu gave a perfunctory, “Mm-hmm. But I hope to see you happy while I'm still alive.”

The man thought it over for a while, then finally left. Supposedly, he traveled far and wide before settling at the Hehuan Sect.

Jiang Xu was greatly relieved.

Just as Jiang Xu had begun to relax, the man showed up beside his bed again in the dead of night.

“I went to a lot of places. The people at the Hehuan Sect said dual cultivation lets you share cultivation and extend your lifespan.”

“A Xu, let's practice dual cultivation.”

Jiang Xu: “...”
