Did Senior Sister Slay Her Heart Demon Today?

The reverse V begins at Chapter 25. If you've already read those chapters, please be careful not to read them again.

Welcome to the world of immortal cultivation! We're at the scene of the xxth demon-hunting squad of Xuanqing Sect. The members are:

Senior Brother Qi, inarticulate but always smiling, and intimidating to behold.

Senior Brother Shang, eloquent and a jack-of-all-trades, but always letting everyone down at crucial moments.

Senior Sister Zhuo, with overwhelming combat strength and a beauty that freezes the blood. Whenever she speaks, she either roasts someone to death or is about to.

Junior Brother Yu, gentle as jade and immensely charming. He's Senior Sister's number one fan, going on about her all day long and changing his tune the moment she's not around.

Junior Sister Jiang, beautiful with a sweet voice, the team's darling. She's a grass on the fence, blown this way and that by the wind, and liable to stab someone in the back if you let your guard down.

Now, let's see what each of them is up to:

Scene One:

Yu Lan: As usual, he showers his senior sister with praise, finds the perfect moment to cling to her, and casually puts down the other three on the team.

Scene Two:

Seniors and juniors one, two, and three, forced to serve as human shields, viciously knock away the ghosts in front of them and glare at him. "Senior Sister Zhuo/Junior Sister, do something about him!"

Zhuo Qingping, also fighting monsters, and fighting a whole horde of them: "No time."

As the team's only high-damage fighter and combat powerhouse, Senior Sister Zhuo spends every day dragging her four useless teammates around, slaying demons and exorcising ghosts to earn commissions.

Scene Three (This is classified footage, so all viewers must follow the confidentiality rules):

It's still our beautiful and badass Senior Sister Zhuo, but pay attention to what's behind her. Behind her!

A blurry black shadow quietly appears. Let's see what it's doing:

First, we see it shove Junior Brother Yu aside. Then it steps on his foot, before moving closer to Senior Sister Zhuo. It's right beside her!

And how does Senior Sister Zhuo react?

Senior Sister Zhuo draws her sword! Is she going to strike the shadow down? Let's zoom in. Wait, where did our camera go?

To find out what happens next, let's check our backup camera: the main story!

This is a story about a team of five useless misfits going down the mountain to slay demons and exorcise ghosts. Dear readers, come and add it to your favorites!

P.S. Due to the setting, some modern expressions will appear.

Slow burn, with a focus on the ensemble cast.

The protagonists all have their own strengths and flaws. They're not perfect.

Completed novel: "There Is Dog-Blood Drama Everywhere in the Martial World"

What is the martial world like?

Is it the clash of blades and the thrill of settling scores?

Or one sword, one bottle of wine, one person and one horse, roaming the world and righting wrongs?

Or perhaps a band of close friends, following their hearts, supporting one another, and adventuring far and wide?

Before entering the martial world, Wu Yue had imagined all sorts of possibilities. But when she finally ventured into it, she discovered that there was another possibility besides all the above: getting drenched in melodrama.

Do you think it would be the usual tropes, like a hero saving a beauty, falling off a cliff or into a river, and having a fortuitous encounter after surviving?

No, no. It's an upgraded version:

A complicated love polygon full of coercive romance, stealing someone's beloved, you love her, she loves him, and he loves her too!

Bring your little stools, grab your sunflower seeds and peanuts, and come enjoy the drama with her.

A feisty little rookie who says no but secretly means yes x a combat ace who smiles sweetly in public but kills with a single sword strike behind the scenes.

Upcoming novel: "My Childhood Friend Is the Protagonist of a Male-Focused Novel"

Synopsis:

In this world, strange entities run rampant. Fortunately, spirit tamers have begun to emerge, using the power of spirit creatures to protect the peace of humankind.

And hundreds of years later, another cultivation system born from spirit taming, spirit control, also enters the stage.

Spirit taming and spirit control differ by just one word, yet are worlds apart. Will these two entirely opposite groups ultimately arrive at the same destination by different paths, or go their separate ways?

The story of these young people begins at the Spirit Control Academy.

As everyone knows, there are five people you must never provoke at the Spirit Control Academy.

The one you must never provoke above all is the girl who looks the easiest to bully and the weakest fighter, but is actually incredibly strong: Qiqi.

Of course, her strength isn't the point. The point is that if you offend her, you'll indirectly offend the most petty one (Fang Hui), the one who loves fighting the most (Jiu Xia), the most vindictive one (Bai Cang), and the richest one (Jin Su).
