The cultivators of this world are divided into four paths: Puppet Masters, Ghost Tamers, Sword Cultivators, and Spirit Tamers.
Zhongli Yan, born into a Spirit Tamer clan, was the leading talent among her peers from a young age. But she had a little-known quirk: she had a thing for upright ears.
Especially full, beautifully shaped upright ears. The bigger the better, and they had to twitch quickly and nimbly.
The first time she met Si Jue, the enormous dog demon was covered in wounds, but the pair of upright ears on its head were full and beautifully shaped.
They were quite large, too.
When they twitched... Hiss--
Who could possibly resist that?!
The entries in A Cultivation Diary by Zhongli Yan soon became remarkably brief.
Eleventh day of the winter month: Pet the dog.
Twelfth day of the winter month: Pet the dog.
Thirteenth day of the winter month: Pet the dog.
Fourteenth day of the winter month: Zhongli Yan, Zhongli Yan, how could you sink so low? Have you forgotten the aspirations you once made? You can't go on like this.
Fifteenth day of the winter month: Pet the dog.
Sixteenth day of the winter month: Pet the dog.
After running into danger, Si Kong Jue was trapped inside the body of a dog demon and captured by a woman.
This woman was truly detestable, and she was far too rough with his dog ears. Si Kong Jue could take no more. He struggled with all his might to control the demon's body and finally transformed into human form.
Wait, why are the ears still there?
After countless hardships, Si Kong Jue finally reclaimed his identity and returned to the Sword Sect, only to hear some unbelievable news.
His engagement had been called off.
His fiancee had run off with a dog.
A Cultivation Diary by Zhongli Yan
Third day of the third month: Lost my beloved dog.
Fourth day of the third month: Found the dog. Half found, anyway. Wait, is this like running into a top-tier succubus the moment you leave the beginner village?
Fifth day of the third month: Hehe, I thought of a perfect reason to break off the engagement.
Reading guide:
1. The worldbuilding is the author's own. Cultivators belong to four paths: Puppet Masters, Ghost Tamers, Sword Cultivators, and Spirit Tamers. They worship the Four Imperial Gods. Spirit contracts are divided by the degree of control they exert: Command, Guard, and Divine Servant.
2. Writing ahead enthusiastically. I'll start posting once there are enough advance chapters.
