A Century of Cultivation Makes an NPC

[Blurb:]

A color-blind, laid-back little demoness on a healing journey x the righteous and exemplary senior brother, an attack-focused master

The Heavenly Book in the Langhuan Water Pavilion records: On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, the peach tree that stood guard outside the Ghost Gate of the Eightfold Dark Capital, keeping all ten thousand ghosts at bay, suddenly withered. The Ghost Gate fell, and a hundred ghosts roamed the human world by night. The Netherworld Lord later designated the day as the Ghost Festival.

With the hundred ghosts roaming the night, the Netherworld Lord took action on two fronts.

First, as the ruler of the Eightfold Dark Capital, he ordered the various immortal sects of the human world to help capture the ghosts.

Second, after searching everywhere and consulting the immortals and gods about saving the tree without success, he learned that a glimmer of hope lay with the Azure Emperor's daughter. But the Green Maiden was still bathing in spiritual waters at Kong Sang...

Lin Yao enters a game and becomes a little monster NPC wandering the wild forest of Zhuxi Village. Her name, skills, and backstory are all unknown.

Speechless, she wonders: Game developers, are you asleep? If you aren't, can you remake me and give me a new skin? Is being color-blind really the most precisely insulting design choice?

To quit the game, she diligently slacks off, doing everything she can to get herself killed. Her motto is: Staying alive is fine, dying is fine too.

"You demoness, you're up to no good! How dare you share a coffin and a bed with my senior brother! Don't you know he's the first disciple of the Nine Yao Sect, destined to cultivate the Dao and become an immortal? You have no right to seduce him!"

A-Yao is deeply wronged: I see all living beings as game models. What could I possibly do to him?

All things are empty, but cause and effect are not.

A hundred years later, looking back, NPCs never quit the game!!!
