Ningyan had mediocre talent and was the most ordinary disciple in her sect.
After accidentally falling into the water, she transmigrated to the modern world.
Skyscrapers were everywhere, and there were few "pure lands" suitable for cultivation.
After searching high and low, Ningyan finally found a mountain valley rich in spiritual energy.
She planned to stay in a secluded mountain villa until her cultivation improved, then find a way to return home.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she knocked on the villa's door, she saw a familiar face.
The Demon Venerable Zhuosheng, feared throughout the cultivation world, had mysteriously vanished a few years ago. It turned out she'd been hiding here.
Ningyan raised the little branch she'd just picked up with a trembling hand. "Y-You demoness, take this sword!"
Before she could thrust her "sword," someone stuffed a piece of food into her mouth.
Ningyan secretly decided that, for the sake of the "cake," she would give her a chance to explain.
Zhuosheng was secretive in everything she did, and often left Ningyan alone at home.
Worried that she was up to no good, Ningyan could only raise her wooden sword again.
She'd gone so long without practicing that her sword thrust went wide.
The clothes in Zhuosheng's shopping bag spilled all over the floor. They were all pretty dresses she'd bought for Ningyan.
Only then did Ningyan learn that there was a modern word called "work."
That did explain things. Ningyan accepted the clothes and decided to keep watching her for a while.
Later, Ningyan discovered that mountain spirits were causing trouble, yet none of them dared approach the villa.
She caught one and brought it before Zhuosheng, demanding to know what was going on.
The usually calm and composed Zhuosheng was so frightened that she hid in a corner, trembling.
No matter how much Ningyan tried to comfort her, she refused to sleep alone.
Ningyan realized she'd wrongly accused Zhuosheng and vowed to do everything she could to make it up to her.
That night, a sturdy, soft Immortal-Binding Rope restrained Ningyan's hands and feet.
Zhuosheng held her chin and leaned in slowly. "Didn't you say you'd make it up to me? Why haven't you kissed me yet?"
Ningyan: Help! Why didn't the sect's records mention that the Demon Venerable was such a good actress?
