After My Yandere Disciple Ascended (Cultivation)

[A carefree, naturally flirtatious princess and master x an extremely possessive, yandere demon lord disciple]

Sang Jin was the most doted-on little princess in the Heavenly Realm. She had always loved eating and drinking for free and taking life as it came.

Then one day, she found herself wandering through the mortal realm in a dream and met a poor little boy. He couldn't keep warm or eat his fill, and people bullied him.

The little princess had always been softhearted. She took a bowl of wontons from her sleeve dimension.

When the poor boy asked who she was, she cleared her throat and imitated the stern way her father and elder brothers and sisters spoke: "I am an immortal from the heavens."

After a month under house arrest, she saw a familiar figure in the Heavenly Palace.

The little disciple she'd adopted on a whim out of boredom had ascended?!

She thought happily: Did this mean she was a good teacher?

Later, she discovered that her weak and clingy little disciple, who always liked hanging off her, was actually the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm, which was always at odds with the Heavenly Realm?!

After Yun Buxi ate the bowl of wontons in red chili oil, his stomach hurt as if it were on fire. But facing the innocent girl ghost who had appeared from who-knew-where, he still forced himself to praise the food.

After all, it was one of the few kindnesses he'd ever known.

In the palace, the maids looked down on him and the eunuchs mocked him. His food was worse than a dog's, and his clothes were thin as paper.

He thought that having his master by his side for the rest of his life would be more than enough. But when he grew up and became stronger, his master was nowhere to be found.

He seized the throne, killed everyone who had ever bullied him, and searched all across Manchuria for thirty years. At last, he found a way to see his master again.

He carved the flesh from his body and cut away his bones, using his body and soul to embrace the demonic path. Finally, he saw his master again in the Heavenly Realm.

In that instant, he concealed every trace of his viciousness. He looked aggrieved, his voice trembling slightly. "Master, your disciple has come to find you."

★ Your month under house arrest was the rest of my life.

★ The favor of someone in power is a silent seduction.

The Heavenly and Demon Realms had been at odds for a long time. At last, they picked an auspicious day to wage war between gods and demons.

Just as the two armies were about to face off, the Demon Realm's soldiers discovered that the Heavenly Realm's leader, a righteous-looking man who was supposedly the princess's consort, had exactly the same face as their Demon Lord.

So, were they supposed to fight or not?

Note: The leads have a master-disciple relationship in the early chapters, with romance coming later. The male lead is a little naive and timid early on, but becomes a true yandere later. The female lead flirts without realizing it and is naturally a heartbreaker. She turns the poor little boy into a yandere, the kind who can carve the flesh from his own body and cut away his own bones.
