A big dating show in a cultivation sect featuring a sentient handkerchief (not really)
What do I do if my mom is a fox spirit with incredible bewitching arts?
Too bad she's my stepmother, and Tang Pa is a handkerchief spirit.
One day, her stepdaughter gets a sudden urge to teach Tang Pa everything she's learned in her life.
Tang Pa waits eagerly for her to speak, eyes shining, but a gust of wind blows him away, carrying him in his original form straight onto the lips of a disciple of the immortal sect.
"Haha, Senior Brother really is breathtakingly handsome. Even a handkerchief likes you," one of the other disciples teases.
The whole handkerchief turns bright red.
"It's even an immortal handkerchief! Senior Brother, you're so lucky."
The young man says nothing. Tang Pa waits for the right moment to make his getaway.
But in the next instant, he's folded neatly and stuffed into the young man's arms.
That night, a handkerchief is spread out on the table, brazenly exposed.
Tang Pa is poked.
The young man asks, "Little handkerchief, is your true form human?"
Tang Pa pretends to be dead, but the other man forcibly channels spiritual power into him, and with a whoosh, he turns into...
An orange cat.
The next day, Tang Pa, still not used to being a cat, secretly takes out a voice-transmission stone to ask his stepmother.
Over the transmission, his stepmother files her nails with a scratchy sound. "Your parents were an old handkerchief and a cat spirit. Let me think... You should be a handkerchief-cat hybrid!"
Tang Pa feels as if thunder has struck him from the heavens.
His stepmother asks, "Where did the wind blow you?"
Tang Pa: "Tianjian Sect."
Stepmother: "Did you meet any handsome disciples?"
Tang Pa stammers, unable to help remembering Senior Brother's peerlessly elegant face. "Yes..."
Stepmother: "Then don't come back. I'll teach you over the voice-transmission stone. As it happens, I'm back in the fox den, so I can hold a big meeting to coach you on romance!"
Tang Pa: "I'm not interested in him..."
Stepmother: "The cloud-based romance-watching fan club is officially established!"
Tang Pa: (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
But what can a handkerchief even do?
During the day, he's tucked into someone's arms, occasionally brought out to wipe away the exasperation between Senior Brother's brows. At night, he turns into an orange cat and gets used as a hugging pillow to help someone fall asleep. That's all.
Can he cure Senior Brother when he's been drugged with an aphrodisiac?!!!
Tang Pa: You are not allowed to speak!
Xi Wujiu: I can. (snatches him away)
