After I Rescued My Master from the Brothel

Xu Xinghe has never met anyone more disgusting than Shen Chengling.

Shen Chengling transmigrated into this world, but unlike the masters in other master-disciple stories, he genuinely hates his disciple and would be happy to see him dead.

Jealous of Xu Xinghe's talent, he tricks his disciple into descending into the Demon Abyss, destroys his dantian, and plans to sell him to a brothel.

But who could have known that the winds would change, and Xu Xinghe would turn out to be the chosen one of this world?

Seven years later, the former master and disciple have switched places.

The former disciple never expected his master to end up in a brothel!

But the disciple also doesn't know just how fake and self-righteous his master thinks he is.

Shen Chengling is a transmigrator. The Heavenly Dao needs the protagonist to have a master, so he was unlucky enough to be sent here. He deserves it.

The protagonist gets to bask in the spotlight in public, but behind the scenes, who cares about some background character?

The protagonist's master? A laughable role.

But then a huge hole is torn in the heavens, and the protagonist rebels.

He wants no fame, fortune, or power. He wants justice in this world.

Master: Why? You, why?

Perhaps a beneficiary of the system shouldn't be the one asking, but Xu Xinghe says: Shen Chengling, I'll go wherever you go.

A cat that can't express itself bares its teeth to protect itself.

Even the silly, affectionate golden retriever doesn't think it's being melodramatic.

If empathy is an animal's instinct,

then loving another is a duty bestowed upon humanity by the gods at birth.

Coming next: The Villain Had a Baby for Me

Synopsis: Qi Mu is a transmigrator. One day, he opens his eyes and finds himself transmigrated into a book as an utterly ordinary cannon-fodder character.

His only part in the story comes near the ending. After the villain is stabbed through the heart by the protagonist, swarmed by his underlings, and jumps off a cliff in a suicide attack, Qi Mu finally appears. He waits at the bottom of the cliff for three days and three nights for Xi Lanxu, only for the villain to drag him into a mutual death. What a nobody!

Then Qi Mu transmigrates. The good news: none of that has happened, and Qi Mu doesn't want a furnace partner. The bad news: he himself is willing, and has already been waiting at the bottom of the cliff for three days!

Qi Mu is in trouble. He's fallen for the demon lord at first sight!

At last, a loud bang comes from the distance. Qi Mu jolts awake, wipes his face, grabs his clothes, and dashes off.

Qi Mu has to retrieve the demon lord, save up to buy grass, and take Xi Lanxu to live in the countryside before Shen Moli kills every demon in the world. Qi Mu has it all planned out. He and Xi Lanxu live together, and before long Xi Lanxu even marries him. But... one day, much later, Qi Mu catches Xi Lanxu sneaking out in the middle of the night to kill someone.

The demon lord, who has already lost all his cultivation, is so arrogant!

An underling says: My lord, the little demon consort is home alone today. What do you think...?

Xi Lanxu glances at his underling and retorts: What consort? How many times have I told you? That clingy little demon isn't my consort!

Clingy?

Qi Mu backs away, and then...

In his third month of pregnancy, beneath a moonless sky, Xi Lanxu casually feeds a few traitors from his clan to the insects. Then he tidies himself up and heads home, planning to tell Qi Mu the good news that they're having a baby. But when he opens the door, the house is completely dark. Confused, he calls, "Mu Mu?"

Qi Mu is missing!

Xi Lanxu sits in the courtyard waiting all night before he finally understands.

My wife is gone!

He abandoned his husband and child. He doesn't want me or the baby.

Three months later, in a remote little town,

Qi Mu and the protagonist walk together, chatting and laughing.

But in the blink of an eye, someone has him cornered against a wall.

Qi Mu is terrified, only to realize that the person blocking his way is Xi Lanxu.

So Qi Mu smiles and says, "Xi Lanxu, I'm not playing with you anymore."

He gives up completely. Anyway, Qi Mu didn't get a wife, the demon lord had his way with him, Xi Lanxu says he doesn't want him, and the other demon lords in the Demon Domain say the lord plans to hand him over to them for fun. Fine, let the demon lord tear him limb from limb, hack him to pieces, slice him up alive and boil him, or dismember him and leave his corpse out in the open!

But the next moment, Xi Lanxu takes his hand and places it somewhere strange. His eyes redden as he says, "Mu Mu, the baby just moved."

Qi Mu blinks. A tiny tremor against his palm. Huh???
