How to Outdo the Great Demon King

In the eleventh year of Yongqing, the cultivation world joined forces to hunt down the cruel, brutal Demon Lord. In the end, they killed the great fiend who had thrown the world into turmoil in Four Twilight Cascading Springs Valley.

Afterward, the demon clan weakened and retreated into the shadows of the continent. Peace and tranquility returned to the world.

In the 236th year of Yongqing, Bo Yin, who had been working herself to the bone, opened her eyes in another world.

Born into a rich young lady's life, where everything was done for her, she was so delighted that she quickly decided to lie flat and give up trying.

But one day, while she was lying around, she suddenly realized she seemed to be soul-bound to the great fiend who was supposedly already dead.

And he was extremely displeased. Once he broke their bond, he planned to kill her on the spot.

The company's top salesperson, an ambitious workaholic, smiled. "Fine. If you won't play fair, don't blame me for working you into the ground first."

After the Demon Lord's death, the cultivation world, now without a rival, sank into a life of pleasure and indulgence.

The head of Buxian Sect, said to be the strongest immortal sect, shook his head and sighed as he watched his disciples give up. "Sigh... The students these days are hopeless!"

Later, a group of laid-back slackers suddenly discovered there was a traitor in their midst!

A senior brother who had just been dumped poured his heart out to Bo Yin. "Why doesn't Junior Sister Song love me anymore?"

Bo Yin swung her sword with a whoosh. "Senior Sister thinks you can't stay up all night practicing the sword with her."

A junior sister, consumed by the competition for their master's favor, asked Bo Yin in distress, "How can I become Master's favorite disciple?"

Bo Yin slapped down a sword manual. "Outrank her in cultivation, and Master will practically beg you to be her disciple!"

-

Before long, the disciples' competitive spirit was fired up. They rolled up their sleeves, determined to outdo Bo Yin. But then...

Huh? You mean she stabbed the resurrected Demon Lord to death with one sword?!

The disciples: Boss, please stop pushing yourself. We give up.
