The Grandmaster's Emergency Rations

Demon Venerable Xiao Yu, renowned throughout the world, is ambushed at a crucial moment while practicing his skills. He suffers a cultivation deviation and later infiltrates the great immortal sect Lunxian Sect to find a way to cure it. There, he meets Ancestor Yan Yao. During one consultation, Xiao Yu marvels that the beacon of righteousness is indeed well-read. Then he hears his inner voice: “So pretty.” Xiao Yu: “?” The next second, the ancestor's voice comes again. “Want to eat.” Xiao Yu looks up in shock and meets the ancestor's restrained, self-controlled gaze. Xiao Yu blinks slowly. “...Tsk!” The immortal sect is doomed. Xiao Yu has a secret: he can hear people's thoughts. It's said that the beacon of righteousness has Taotie blood, and he always thought that was just a rumor. Now that he's learned it through mind reading, it might actually be true. Xiao Yu is intrigued, and works even harder at playing the part of a useless junior disciple, waiting for a chance to turn the tables. Dao Venerable Yan Yao is aloof, abstinent, and a strict rule-follower. Until he meets a sickly junior disciple and falls in love at first sight. At first, mindful of his status, he keeps his feelings restrained and under control. Then he discovers that his junior disciple is entangled in an ambiguous relationship with the Demon Venerable. Yan Yao pins him between the bedclothes, his eyes dark, looking as if he wants to swallow the man whole. Xiao Yu has kept his Demon Venerable secret identity well hidden. He's been looking forward to this for ages, and finally the other man makes a move. He pretends the sky is falling and says weakly, “Are you going to eat me raw?” In truth, he's excited, and demonic energy quietly courses through him. Then Yan Yao strips both of them. Xiao Yu: “?” Wait, something seems a little off. Theme: Seeing is believing, hearing can deceive. Feel with your heart.
