After The Aloof Long Aotian Became Jealous Of Me

Synopsis:

My name is Bai Yi. I’m a third-level Qi Refining fraud with nothing going for me except my looks, and I’m surrounded by wolves waiting to pounce.

But that doesn’t matter. After all, I’m Long Aotian’s underling. No one outside would dare set their sights on me.

So the only source of trouble in my life is one particular person.

Long Aotian, Rong Zhenlü—the Immortal Venerable’s foremost disciple whom everyone admires—has the elegant bearing of a crane and the unyielding grace of a pine. But I’m the only one who knows just how dark and twisted he truly is.

He seems to be secretly jealous of me.

On my very first day as Long Aotian’s underling, he started staring at me through a spell mirror for long stretches of time. Gradually, whenever someone nearby praised my appearance, Long Aotian’s face would darken. Yet he was far too prideful to admit it. The moment I turned toward him, he would put on an expression of complete indifference.

On the surface, he always looked cold and aloof, as though he were separated from everyone else by layers of clouds. In reality, he had even crushed such a precious cup in his hand. It was probably Long Aotian’s pride acting up.

Occasionally, he would force himself to awkwardly compliment me a few times, his entire face flushing bright red. I would pretend to be flattered beyond belief, but I knew the truth.

Long Aotian had always been secretly tormenting me.

He deliberately made me perform humiliating chores, such as assisting him with his baths and warming his bed. He would also cook disgusting meals, make me test them for poison, and insist on watching me eat.

I had no choice but to pretend the food was delicious. Whenever I did, he would smile with vicious satisfaction.

But even though I had already become such a shameless bootlicker, his jealousy only continued to grow worse. Later, I even started waking up every morning with my entire body sore and itchy, covered in marks from where he had secretly beaten me.

How despicable!

Tsk. At this rate, he’ll kick me out of the sect before long.

Hahaha—but being expelled would be even better. The truth is, I’m too lazy to do a single day’s work. The sooner I retire, the better!

Whenever I saw how upright, noble, and radiant he appeared in front of others, I pretended not to know about his hidden dark side. Meanwhile, I secretly saved up as much money as possible, preparing myself to be fired at any moment.

Until one day, I discovered a secret.

What the fuck?!

It turned out I was actually a spy sent by an enemy sect!

The mission slip spelled everything out clearly. I was supposed to assassinate Long Aotian and bring his severed head back to the sect.

They could go fuck themselves. I wasn’t about to do anything illegal!

That very night, I hurriedly packed my belongings and slipped away. Long Aotian, the villainous sect—none of them had anything to do with me anymore.

Time to retire!

After retiring, I lived a wealthy and wonderful life.

The only troubling news I heard was that the lofty young immortal lord had fallen and become a demon.

I was surprised by how drastically the original story had changed. Fortunately, this region was far removed from the main plot, so I decided not to think too much about it.

Unfortunately, the heavens refused to cooperate.

That night, thunder roared and lightning split the sky. I took shelter from the rain for a while before finally making my way home, only to discover corpses scattered across the ground at the end of the street.

In the pouring rain, Long Aotian stood drenched in blood, holding up a string of severed heads as a gift for me.

A twisted smile appeared on his pale, breathtakingly handsome face.

“Yiyi.”

“You must have wanted to run away because of them.”

“I’ve killed everyone who was controlling you.”

“Now you can finally love me.”
