After Xiao Xianyu worked himself to death, he finally understood: all those grand promises were empty. Being a lazy salted fish was the true way to live.
Unfortunately, he was reborn as a classic overpowered hero, destined to level up and build a harem. His status as the protagonist made it impossible to keep a low profile, and every golden finger came looking for him, bringing endless trouble in its wake.
Xiao Xianyu found a loophole and shared the golden fingers that should have belonged to the overpowered hero among everyone in his sect.
The junior sister, who was supposed to join the harem and do nothing but vie for his favor, gained a powerful flame and the strength to lift a giant cauldron. "Who dares bully my second senior brother?"
The eldest disciple, who was supposed to take a blade for the protagonist and die young, escaped danger after danger and became a heaven-favored prodigy. "If you want to bully my second junior brother, you'll have to get past me first."
The master, who was supposed to be ambushed and pass on his power to the protagonist before dying, became a mighty figure in his own right. "I'm not dead yet. Who dares bully my disciple?"
Xiao Xianyu suddenly became the sect's most protected person!
But what troubled him was that the steamy harem scenes originally meant for the hero couldn't be handed out, so he had to find other characters to take their place.
His gaze fell on his clingy junior brother.
Demon Venerable Gu Yuan unexpectedly awakened to the truth and discovered he was a villain in a story. The one who would kill him was an overpowered young hero.
Before his enemy could grow up, the Demon Venerable disguised himself and stuck close to the boy, hoping to nip the threat in the bud.
But to his surprise, the legendary overpowered hero was lazy and stupid, and smiled at him so beautifully.
More importantly, the other guy was always trying to seduce him.
Bathing together, love potions, aphrodisiac parasites...
Gu Yuan thought haughtily, Fine. He's just a poor soul who's fallen for me. Granting him his wish wouldn't be so bad.
But who knew the other guy seemed to like more than just him?
Watching Xiao Xianyu surrounded by female cultivators, the Demon Venerable finally couldn't hold back:
"Just how many lovely big sisters do you have?"
