A big shot from the spirit world transmigrates and becomes a good-for-nothing from a fallen family, unable to cultivate. Everyone wants to kick her while she's down.
Head of the family: Our Yao ancestors produced one great talent after another. My late father was even ranked among the Ten Great Guardians. How did we end up with a disgrace like you?
Ming Yan: I am the Spirit Emperor. The guardians kowtow whenever they see me.
Rival: My alchemy shops are all over the city. I'm the richest person in Chixi!
Ming Yan: Oh, not anymore. Everyone says my pills are better, and your business has already been driven into bankruptcy.
Dean: I've taught and nurtured students for decades. I know the methods for drawing all kinds of talismans by heart!
Ming Yan: Those talismans you teach are ones I casually drew a hundred years ago. They're outdated. Simplify them and their effects will be ten times stronger.
City Lord: I govern the largest city in the spirit world, and everyone looks up to me as a role model.
Ming Yan: I remember you have my portrait hanging in your room. You even imitate my sayings all the time.
The head of the family, the rival, the dean, and the city lord all fall to their knees: Boohoo, you're so powerful!
Just then, the Demon Lord passes by and adds, "You're also the mother of my child, my beloved, and my greatest pride."
Ming Yan: "...All right, I really can't argue with that."
