Synopsis
Yu Yi is half human and half demon.
He used to live carefree in the countryside, but his grandmother kicked him out, forcing him to move to the city for work.
His new neighbor, Xu Huaiqian, seems like a well-dressed university professor on the surface.
In reality, he's a total pain in the neck with something wrong in his head, constantly criticizing Yu Yi. Today, he complains that Yu Yi didn't take out the trash. Tomorrow, he starts policing whether Yu Yi wears underwear.
Yu Yi is sick of him and wants to move, but he has no education, no skills, and no money.
After moving to the city, he has to hide that he's half demon and join the millions of people in flexible employment. Every day, he wanders all over the city taking odd jobs. After much hardship, he finally finds a part-time gig, only to end up in jail.
Yu Yi puts up with all of that!
But just when he finally catches two fish to improve his meals, that scoundrel Xu Huaiqian tricks him!
The mighty Overlord of Jigong Mountain has fallen this low!
This is intolerable, especially to the great Yu Yi!
Yu Yi goes completely dark...
The Demon King has returned! He'll crush every little human beneath his feet!
*
Yu Yi stops hiding that he's half demon, and things start going surprisingly well for him.
All he has to do is bask in the sun every day, and his cultivation stabilizes. He picks up a few lackeys who wait on him hand and foot, and once in a while he goes out to hunt. Life couldn't be better.
But one of his lackeys, Xu Huaiqian, actually wants to rebel!
Not only does he take over Yu Yi's den, he treats him like a house cat and pets him whenever he wants, even grabbing his tail and refusing to let go!
Who does he think he is, touching Yu Yi's tail?
Yu Yi steps right on Xu Huaiqian's face, fierce and savage. "What do you think you're doing?"
Xu Huaiqian: "Boss, give me a title."

New story coming soon
In his freshman year, Lin Fan joined the student union's sports department to pursue an older girl in his major, even though he was physically unfit. He worked incredibly hard to get in. But before he could win her over, she had to leave for an internship. Before she went, she patted his shoulder and entrusted the department to him.
With tears in his eyes, Lin Fan promised her he would make the department bigger and better!
The most important campus sports meet of the year is coming around again. Lin Fan is so busy he wishes he could split himself in two. He finally manages to get things in shape, only to find a vacant slot in the men's 10,000-meter run.
There's no other choice. Today's fragile college students can barely survive an 800-meter run. Anyone who can run 10,000 meters is practically superhuman.
With the registration deadline fast approaching, Lin Fan begs everyone he can think of. He even pushes himself to join just to make up the numbers, but there's still one spot left.
Then he hears some reliable news:
The campus heartthrob Luo Yuanchuan, who's both handsome and wealthy, runs around the track every morning before dawn, rain or shine. Apparently, he's an amateur marathon runner too.
Lin Fan is overjoyed. The heartthrob, huh? It's time for you to shine for the college! But who knew Luo Yuanchuan would be so stubborn and have absolutely no school spirit?
Lin Fan declares that if he can't win Luo Yuanchuan over, he won't call himself Lin Fan!
*
Luo Yuanchuan likes going for morning runs, but he really hates being interrupted while running.
"Senior, you're amazing. Your pace is almost five minutes per kilometer."
"Senior, those shoes look so comfortable. Are they the XX limited edition?"
"Senior, I brought you a sports drink. Or would you prefer electrolyte water?"
Being hit on is nothing new for Luo Yuanchuan, but this is the first time he's encountered someone so blunt it's laughable, shameless, and relentless.
The other guy waits for him at the track every morning, skips class just to accompany him to his own classes, and engineers chance encounters all over campus. Every time, he blinks his big round eyes and calls Luo Yuanchuan "Senior" in a sweet, affected voice.
Fine, Luo Yuanchuan admits this underclassman is kind of cute. He can give him a chance.
But damn it, why hasn't Lin Fan confessed yet?
And then... suddenly, he vanishes without a trace.
*
After the sports meet, Lin Fan is nearly worn to the bone, but at least the college has won a record number of medals this year, so he can finally report back to his senior. Just as he's planning to spend two days recovering in his dorm, Luo Yuanchuan, the men's 10,000-meter gold medalist, comes looking for him.
Luo Yuanchuan: "Didn't you say you'd win me over? Do I have to teach you how to confess too?"
Lin Fan, who's been kissed out of nowhere: "Huh?"
Theme: Work hard and diligence brings prosperity

I still feel that a demon association needs to be established, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with the case of Baitouwu being stolen by the Zheng family. After all, there is no clear registration of Baitouwu as a demon. Being stolen by the Zheng family can only be said to be theft. Compared with Xiaoyi's breaking into the hospital and beating someone, it is more serious. Fortunately, there are many people on Xiaoyi's side.
Baitouwu is quite business-savvy [Like]
It's great to establish a monster, otherwise Xiaoyi would be lonely fighting monsters alone, and the rights of monsters are also protected. There will definitely be a big battle ahead, and Xiaoyi will have to do his best, so it would be nice to have a few more helpers [Spread Flowers]
I feel like the male major is ruthless. Every time he tries to open up a little bit, his cultivation level rises 🤣
I thought the Zheng family was good, but I didn't expect that everyone in the family was bad.
That girl from the Zheng family looks like she would buy something like this.
Updated! I still remember that the imagination of this book is particularly magical, I like [Spreading Flowers]
It's very interesting. The monsters are very cute. I want to read more stories about bears, hedgehogs, etc.
In the beginning, Li Yuansi was not a pure bad guy. He attacked Xiaoyi because he wanted to get rid of the demon. It was only when he met other people that he changed. Maybe Ying is not a bad person, but just has different ideas.
Xiaoyi has always been a very good child, no matter who he is. As for Yu Fei, I have never had a good sense of her. She is a spoiled child and knows that someone will take care of her. At first she left home to find her brother with whom she had never lived. Later, she used the cat that Xiao Yi transformed into as a medium to meet Ren. Here, the formation failed because she resisted. It's not that she can't do all this, but the reason why she can do it is not that she can solve what happens next, but that someone will solve for her everything that happens after she makes a mistake.
