A Demon Brat? Not Even a Dog Would Raise One

Ling Shuzheng died suddenly, then came back to life.

So she decided to keep her head down in the cultivation world until she reached a hundred!

But one day, her own father suddenly called her a monster.

Ling Shuzheng looked utterly confused: ?

Had her father been picking too many poisonous mushrooms lately?

"Your mother is a snake."

Looks like he really had eaten too many mushrooms.

"I'm not lying. Look, these are your mother's scales."

Wait, what kind of demon did he say?

A snake... a snake demon?

Staring at the palm-sized black scales shimmering in the light, Ling Shuzheng's heart pounded wildly.

What, was her beloved father cosplaying as Xu Xian?

Even worse, her father told her she was a half-demon with a fatal flaw.

If she didn't get treatment in time, she would turn into a mindless monster.

In other words, if she didn't get treated, she'd die young. There was no chance she'd quietly live to a hundred.

Ling Shuzheng absolutely refused to accept that.

While her father was away searching for medicine, Ling Shuzheng set off on the road to survival, carrying the birthday gift her mother had given her.

Along the way, Ling Shuzheng picked up all sorts of demons... cubs?

She looked at the adorable little cat demon that had just eaten four jin of beef in one sitting.

Ling Shuzheng: ...

Demon cubs? Not even a dog would...

The odd-eyed white cat, twice as large as an ordinary cat, brushed its tail against her leg and formed a pact with her.

At once, a warm current surged from her heart, mending her broken meridians.

Ling Shuzheng scooped up the cat and buried her face in its fur.

She'd keep it. She'd raise demon cubs, all right.

She wasn't a dog.

--

Everyone who knows Ling Shuzheng knows not to open her spirit beast pouch lightly. There might be a super poisonous beast inside.

If you're lucky, it'll only lick you once. If you're unlucky, you'll get a little taste.
