Thank you to oliverthms for the kofis~ 🤗
Aunty Liu Jing did a double take when she saw her Sun Xiao Fuyu and Wen Zhihao walk into the kitchens together. Was it just her, or were there pink bubbles floating around more than usual?
…They were holding hands.
“Good morning, Aunty Liu!” Sun Fuyu greeted in his lovely voice.
“Good morning, Aunty Liu,” Wen Zhihao also greeted with a smile.
“Good morning young master cultivators,” Liu Jing said. She focused on the more reliable Sun Xiao Fuyu. “Did something good happen?”
Sun Fuyu smiled, his eyes glancing at Wen Zhihao. “En.”
Liu Jing narrowed her eyes at Wen Zhihao. So her cabbage Xiao Fuyu did something to the pig, huh?
“Aunty, Wen-ge treats me very well,” Sun Fuyu took the initiative to say.
“Xiao Yu treats me very well,” Wen Zhihao replied.
“No, no, Wen-ge is better!”
“No, Xiao Yu is the best!”
Liu Jing’s hard face cracked a smile at these silly cultivators. Every day, they reminded her that many cultivators were just children and young adults.
“Yes, Aunty knows, Xiao Fuyu is the best and Xiao Wen is the second best.”
“See, Aunty Liu agrees with me!” Wen Zhihao said with a silly grin.
Sun Fuyu blushed. “Ummm….”
Liu Jing’s eyes softened. At least Wen Zhihao finally realised, though based on their characters, Liu Jing wouldn’t be surprised if Sun Fuyu made the first move.
“What do you want for breakfast? I’ll make it while you go help our Old Tang.”
“S-something sweet?” Sun Fuyu said hesitantly.
“Alright, your Aunty will make something sweet!”
After the two of them left with Old Tang, Liu Jing went back into the kitchens. The other staff had a certain look on their faces.

Liu Jing’s lips twitched in amusement. “Alright, get back to work!”
Sun Fuyu felt as though he could float, even though he was just a Golden Core cultivator. He was so happy that he didn’t feel embarrassed holding hands with Wen-ge in public. In public!!
After he and Wen-ge played with the demonic beasts after breakfast, Sun Fuyu tentatively kissed Wen-ge on the cheek before running off to go cultivate. Sun Fuyu needed to get stronger, so that he could protect his Wen-ge on a trip to a secret realm in the future and so that he could stop anyone from exorcising his Wen-ge!
Meanwhile, Wen Zhihao was left watching Sun Fuyu fly off, his cheek still having the warm imprint of Sun Fuyu’s lips, and an unconscious smile on his own lips.
A lot of stress had disappeared now that he shared his transmigration secret with another person—a tick off his mental list. Also, there was now no need to worry about whether ‘he likes me/he likes me not’. Wen Zhihao could hug and squeeze and kiss Sun Fuyu freely. With those other tensions gone, Wen Zhihao felt particularly light.
The summer sun was warm in the late morning, and Wen Zhihao decided it was too good of a day to spend sequestered inside his room. So instead, he took out a red umbrella and stuck it down right in the middle of the now-big-cats’ enclosure to create a little shade for himself.
He spent some time writing out some of the talismans required for his quota with one of his new brush pens first. One of the big cats padded over to him and laid down, sticking its head under the shade of the umbrella.
The cat felt that today’s aura was particularly calm and peaceful. Also, due to the way this human drew in the surrounding qi, the cat liked to take some of the incoming qi for his own use.
As the air slowly warmed up, Wen Zhihao’s slowly became sleepy. The big cat lying down next to him was still napping—what a great idea! So Wen Zhihao packed up his talisman-writing things and took out his bedding instead.
With a yawn, Wen Zhihao laid down, half on his stomach, one arm hugging the cat, and promptly fell asleep. His already relaxed qi aura became even more gentle and lulling, like soft rhythmic waves. One by one, the other demonic beasts yawned and laid down close to the source.
Sometime later, Huang Jialing came by to let the demonic beasts go up the mountain to train and hunt for their lunch.
She saw that the demonic beasts were all arranged, overlapping each other, around a tilted red parasol with a certain cultivator asleep under it.
“…”
Waking up a group of demonic beasts was too much effort, especially with Disciple Wen around. Forget it, if they’re sleeping, they won’t be hungry yet. She’ll just make these beasts train harder once they wake up.
She turned around and left the enclosure. To her surprise, she saw Cultivator Lin Yijun.
“Cultivator Lin, what business brings you here?” Huang Jialing asked.
Lin Yijun withdrew his attention from Wen Zhihao’s peculiar qi. “I was patrolling the sect. You allow Disciple Wen inside there?”
Huang Jialing gave a wry smile. “Cultivator Lin does not need to worry about Disciple Wen, it’s all under control. Is there anything else? Otherwise, I also have work to do.”
“No.”
Lin Yijun assessed the other cultivator. She didn’t seem to have been reincarnated. Of all the people that Wen Zhihao was in contact with, none of them seemed out of the ordinary. The source of the queerness was Wen Zhihao, but Wen Zhihao wasn’t reborn like Lin Yijun. That made Lin Yijun’s headache worse after a long night chasing up a lead that went nowhere.
“I’ll be going.” Lin Yijun turned around and walked away. He didn’t notice how his thoughts became more chaotic once he left the area.
Huang Jialing restrained herself from shaking her head at Lin Yijun. Lately, she even found Lin Yijun to be more odd than usual. Perhaps there is a lot of pressure being the Head disciple? But, it wasn’t her business, so she shrugged it off and got on with her life.
As the sun moved across the sky, Wen Zhihao’s umbrella was no longer in a good position to throw shade over him. The bright light prickled him uncomfortably, causing him to frown slightly in sleep. Soon though, his face relaxed again as dark clouds gathered above him, casting shadows upon him.
The demonic beasts, however, stirred as qi started to strongly tug and swirl towards Wen Zhihao, instead of its previous soothing waves.
The cat sleeping in Wen Zhihao’s arms was particularly annoyed, pawing Wen Zhihao’s face (with his claws retracted). The cat growled discontentedly when Wen Zhihao simply grabbed his paws while still asleep and hugged them.
Many of the demonic beasts had greater strength than Wen Zhihao, and this particular cat was no exception. He tugged his paws back from Wen Zhihao’s pitifully weak hold and joined his brethren standing a distance away from Wen Zhihao.
– Tch, so annoying! Why does he have to advance now? We were sleeping happily!
– Humans, so disrespectful!
– Wait, wait, you impatient fluffballs. Once the human advances, it is estimated that his aura will become even more comfortable!
– …Are you sure? Are you sure?
– I’m not as stupid as you!
Some of the demonic beasts slapped each other. One of the largest beasts flicked her tail back and forth in annoyance.
– You’re all stupid, one would think you hadn’t cultivated at all!
The sudden lightning flickering under the dark clouds finally stopped their bickering. The fighting demonic beasts rolled upright again and turned their gazes to Wen Zhihao.
– Okay, okay, I know he’s advancing, hurry up!
Under the sharp eyes of the demonic beats, the qi in the air and from the sun all condensed onto Wen Zhihao. Lightning flickered and thunder rumbled again, but was overall nonthreatening.
With a soft wwwhosh, the human advanced to what humans called Late-Stage Golden Core. The leftover qi swirled thick in the air: some of the more alert and opportunistic demonic cats grabbed some of that extra qi and used it to cultivate themselves.
Wen Zhihao didn’t know what woke him up, though he felt particularly full of qi for some unknown reason. Wisps of thoughts evaded him. He squinted his eyes open at the sun now shining down on his face. Still groggy, he covered his eyes with his arm, not wanting to get up yet.
What was that thought again… It was something about his original world…His dreams had mashed up various romance tropes.
Wait a minute…Rings!
In his old world, couples exchanged rings upon marriage!
First, he had given Sun Fuyu a ring…and then Sun Fuyu had given him a ring… can be thought of as exchanging rings!
The date that Sun Fuyu gave him a ring was a few weeks ago, which matched with Sun Fuyu’s statement that they had been dating for a few weeks. That was also the first time they held hands and hugged….Wen Zhihao had even initiated the hug…
Sun Fuyu hadn’t been sticky since that day because he was sad about his family! No, it was because Sun Fuyu thought that they were dating!
Wen Zhihao felt like he had been struck by tribulation lightning enlightenment.
!!!
It was a good thing that Wen Zhihao self-enlightened himself! If Sun Fuyu mentioned their anniversary in the future, Wen Zhihao would know the date!
Refreshed, Wen Zhihao sat up and took a drink out of his spatial ring. He glanced at the cats gathered together on the other side of the enclosure.
Huh, what are they doing there?
“Here, kitty-kitty!” Wen Zhihao coaxed.
– Tch, who’s calling us kitty?
– HAHA then I get to be closest to him now! I was right HAHAHA!
One of the large bouncy cats bounded over to Wen Zhihao’s side and rubbed her face against Wen Zhihao’s head.
– Hmmmmmmm qi feels so goooood.
Wen Zhihao petted the cat. Hmm, feels so soft! Wonderful!
So dang cute.
Thank you!
Thanks for the chapter, it was perfect as always <3
🥺🥺🥺 thank you for your lovely words~
Pffft I knew that the cats have hidden motives
Also, Xiao Fuyu is the best! Salted fish approved!
Thanks for the chapter~
ahh fishes and salted fish hehehehehe
Don’t cats always have their own motives 😂😂😂😂
Awww so adorable!! Well done to our fishy advancing again! I wonder how everyone will react?
Little theater:
Everyone: Congratulations!
Fishy: Eh? How does everyone knows I am dating Xiao Yu?
SFY: Wen-ge advanced again! Wait a moment, I’ll buy a gift!
Fishy; When?.. How?… Uhm…
🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈 too realistic 😂😂😂😂
Thank you!!! People probably think that Fishy is working hard 😂😂😂
Ohoho! Cats… demonic beasts coddling with fishy, so soft!
Liking fishy = upgrading life quality.
….this is true 😂😂😂😂
Thanks for the Chapter!
I feel distaste towards this attitude of a study god who gets full eventhough he doesn’t study anything.
……………………🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈 I mean, he does have a fatal weakness, and that’s his inability to fight……..
What do we have Sun Fuyu for then?
Its the legendary pair – Study God x School Bully.
Eventhough Sun Fuyu isn’t School bully but a little cutie, its a cutie who can fight.
it’s like gap moe for both of them XD
All those dog foods !!! Lol..
I hope you like dog food because there’s going to be more 😂
Burning with jealousy, you know 🤣
It’s so funny the fact that the enlightenments Zhihao have nothing to with Martial Arts or Qi and instead are aleatory stuff like the pen and when they started dating
hey, enlightenment is enlightenment!! 😉😉
Btw they were holding hands!!! And Xiao yu kissing Zhihao cheek!!
I think I’m having and overdose of cuteness
😊😊😊😊 I do my best writing cute fluffy romance~
Fishy advancing while sleeping~ The best Dao is the Dao of the salted fish!
Hey, my novel summary is 100% truthful!!! Thanks for reading!
I wanna cultivate this Dao so much ahh (づ￣ ³￣)づ
Wen Zhihao should try those 8hr videos of learn language while you sleep.
He could be a polyglot by now
Thanks for the chapter 😌
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 do those 8 hr videos really work??? Thanks for reading!
We’re well on the route to marriage! (≧∀≦) Kyaaa~
I forgive you for the cliffhanger you chucked at us a few chapters back author.
Thanks for the update ~
phew thank you for your forgiveness 😘😘
Haha- I can’t- He advanced again and didn’t even know it- 😂
it’s his Thing now 😏😏😏
Aunty Liu Jing is so sweet, and she is so happy for our boys ❤️
I feel like, of all the cultivators, Wen Zhihao is actually the closest to following the precepts of the Dao, and that is why he keeps progressing. I love him and his Xiao Yu.
Thanks for another wonderful chapter 🌸🌸🌸
Yep!
😊😊😊😊
I’m glad you think Wen Zhihao’s method still counts as Dao 😂
HAHAHAHA And there it is the salted fish advance again without knowing it kekeke
Thanks for the update 💕💕
😏😏😏😏😏 Thank you for reading!
Demonic beasts: “We are danger! We are DEATH! Human, you forgot our butterflies.”
thanks for the chapter~
you are so correct 😂
What a harmonious relationship with the Big Cats, very envious. And he even has a cute Xiao Yu to hug and bask in his smile.
Tsk, our little fish really is living the life! (no one tell that sword cultivator he advanced by napping or his qi deviation will finally occur due to high blood pressure 😂)
Wen Zhihao has such a nice life indeed 🥺🥺🥺🥺
Other’s enlightenment: Overcoming all their weaknesses in life attaining their highest self
Meanwhile
Zhihao’s enlightenment: finally know when he and FuYu started dating 😆
Thank you author for the chapters muahh!!
🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈 it’s still technically enlightenment!!
thank you for reading!
Excuse me, disciple Lin, it seems like… you’re still on the wrong server? lol
Anyway, jiayo! 🤣
Thanks for the chapter~~
😂😂 Thank you for reading!
I love how all the staff is following their relationship advance. It’s like a big family full of love and care seeing their younglings finding their significant other 💕
And then his tribulation was so smooth 😂
The cats are just too cute!! The image of them all sleeping under the umbrella was rso full of fluff!
And to think he would advance in that setting… Wen Zhihao is just the best u-u!!
His enlightenment being the date when they started dating (without him knowing)… Wen Zhihao, you have just saved yourself from a very awkward first anniversary 😆
Lin Yijun… Ma Boy, if you continue like this you’ll soon have a Qi Deviation. The sooner you accept the kitten therapy the better!
Author-san, thanks for the chapter ❤️
The staff definitely count as family!!!
Hehehe, thank you for your comment! I’m glad you liked all those things 😘😘😘
Haha, advancing now comes with one (1) free enlightenment (promotional offer only, extent of enlightenment may vary depending on cultivation level and personal denseness, no refunds) 😋
Love how even the kitties learned how to profit off of WZH’s easygoing vibes 😄🐱❤
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Unlike Wen Zhihao, the cats aren’t oblivious 😂😂😂
Thanks for the chapter ♥️♥️
Someone really need to teach zihao of his advances
Someone should teach him, but no one realises that he doesn’t know 😂😂😂😂 Like, how can they comprehend that Wen Zhihao reached Golden Core without even knowing??? 😂😂😂
From this, it seems that Lin Yijun is affected by Wen Zhihao as long as he’s not actively guarding against it. And also cute demonic kitties cuddling for comfort and benefit, XD. Congratulations to Wen Zhihao, basically losing a source of heart devil and hesitation as he advances to a new level. I’m guessing that while a lot of cultivators advance through their devotion to power, Wen Zhihao is unconsciously advancing (and advancing fast) through his devotion to being lazy and to being by Sun Fuyu’s side.
Thanks for the chapter~~
Yes, even Lin Yijun is affected by Wen Zhihao! Now he just needs to accept it~~
Hahaha it’s cute to think that Wen Zhihao cultivates by cultivating his feelings for Sun Fuyu~
Thanks for the updates author
Sorry you haven’t been seeing any comments from me lately, my exit exams are coming up so I’ve been studying (not procrastinating, maybe both ?) 😂😂
Love it, as usual
Even though I dislike reading romance for the most part, this (is it a novel or a story? Idek) has kept me here and you have convinced me to not abandon the salted fish ship
Anyways, keep it up
😘✨
Good luck on your exams!!!!!!!
Thank you so much!
I waited for the chapters to stack but I can’t help it. AAAAAaaaAaaaAaa so good!!! Thanks for the chapter 💕
😘😘😘😘😘 thank you for reading~!
“Major levels: Qi Refining < Foundation Building < Golden Core <
Nascent Soul < Divine (Spirit?) < Demigod < Immortal Ascension”
HEY I WAS RIGHT!!
cough cough you and another person recommended that a few more levels before becoming an immortal, and since two people recommended it, I felt it was about time I specified the levels properly 😂😂😂😂 Demigod reminded me of Heavenly Soul so I decided it was a good name~ Not so sure about the name of the “Divine” level though hence the question mark 😂😂😂
oh okay hehe
Thanks for your help 😘😘
np uwu
He’s so adorably dense 😂
And that’s what makes him so cute~
With all the attention lyj is giving our salted 🐠, i hope he won’t be a third 🎊 . I believe he’s the representative of everyone of this generation in terms of seeking peace and indifference. 😍😍
A third….
victim?patient of Wen Zhihao? 😂 The world would be more peaceful if more people seeked peace~Hahahaha! 😂 i meant party! But yeap! So agree! Salted fish is really my spirit animal (if there’s any 😆).
oh Lin Yijun has his own ML so he won’t get Sun Fuyu’s anger~
I may have discovered this today and spent the whole day reading 😌
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 I’m glad you liked it enough to spend the whole day reading!!
Jajaja, así que el qi que inconscientemente genera nuestro pescado salado es la causa de que esas bes… gaticos lo consientan tanto jajajajaja, tenían que ser gatos.
Muchas gracias Autor-sama por este Dao.
Yep!!! 😆
Thank you for reading!
Thank you!
😊😊😊😊😊
Tsk, I’m getting low on money from all these insulin shots. Every chapter is so cute and sweet. Hngggggg
Thank you~!!!!
Thanks for the chapter! All those cultivators would be jealous to death of that salted fish who really doesn’t follow the rules, lol. I can already imagine them going on strike, lol.
Don’t tell those other cultivators!!!!!
(haha, more likely, they would bully Wen Zhihao if they found out or try to steal his “cultivation method” >_>)
As adorable and good to read as ever !!!
Thank you!! <3
Kkkkkkkk i loved my fellows thoughts! Yes! Take opportunities! Another advancement while asleep! Kkkkkk (^._.^)ﾉ
Thanks for the chapter!!
😂😂😂 glad you liked their thoughts 😂😂😂
The chat between the demonic cats and their brainwave with WZH🤣🤣🤣🤣
The cats are also following the salted fish dao 😂
I wish I could level up by sleep, too- Who am I kidding, I barely sleep, HAHAHAHAHAH- sobs
T_T we’ll cry together…
AWHH SO CUTE~~
thank you!
Sounds like the best way to cultivate and advance, surrounded by fluffy kittens!
Thanks for the chapter!
basically the dream 🥺🥺🥺🥺 (though this kittens are actually large cats now 🤣🤣🤣🤣)
Sun Fuyu needed to get stronger, so that he could protect his Wen-ge on a trip to a secret realm in the future and so that he could stop anyone from exorcising his Wen-ge! THE CUTENESS! I just love Fuyu! Learns that his love is a soul in another person’s body – “Never fear I shall get strong so no one can exorcise you my love!”
I’m glad you like Sun Fuyu’s reaction 🤣🤣 Protecting his ge is very important!!
lmao – All other Cultivators: Tribulations are so hard and dangerous!Wen Zihao: “Zzzzzzzzzz”
Ignorance is bliss in Wen Zhihao’s case 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I see~ its a win-win situation.
Kitties: we need qi!!Salted fish: i need fluff!!Kitties and fishies: approved shake hands
it’s the perfect symbiotic relationship!
The cats are stealing the show- as they do. Also OH GOSH I love that he literally has tribulation lighting because he figured out their relationship! This goober.
I mean, cats are sooo good! they deserve to be the stars!!!
heheheh, I mean, it’s all about enlightenment~~~ why can’t you have different types of enlightenment? 🤭
I
Love
The
Cats

😆 Cat-talk reminds me of “After I live-streamed raising Cubs…”. Thank you
🤣🤣🤣🤣 it’s always fun to hear animals talking hahaha
Lin Yijun become crazy with suspicion of other reincarnators 😂😂.
yep 🤣 ahhh, someone give Lin Yijun a head pat…
Poor guy hahaha

Thanks u so much this is amazing!!
Wen Zhihao is living the best life of all haha
Ikr hahaha

The other kitties: Shameless!

How can i say that? It was purrfect
🤭🤭 thank you~
i cant with the kittens 😭 and zhihao completely unaware that the kittens are using him bcs of his qi. they’re adorable, truly. thanks author!
😊😊😊😊 I’m glad you like the kittens~~~~!! Wen Zhihao doesn’t mind anyway 😆
Love that all wzh’s enlightenments after each tribulation has absolutely nothing to do with cultivation 😂 it’s just so on brand for him
Well, Wen Zhihao thrives on various technicalities hahahaha, and he has basically no heart demons to stifle his advancements 😂
This is such a fun story to read! I love how all of the angsty moments are turned sweet and funny by our hero’s relaxed and uncompetitive nature!
Also – thanks bafflinghaze for the smooth translations!
Thank you!! I’m glad you like all the sweet moments because I wanted to write something relaxing hahaha
And here, we see wen-xiong in his natural habitat, surrounded by deminc beasts. These two strange species have a particularly advantageous relationship in which they help each other. Wen-xiong provides a place where qi gathers and demonic beasts can easily grow, and they provide him of warmth, comfort and happiness-
Hfkdhfkdjdkndndnd this story is just so. Adorable and softbfnchfkdbmdnd
HAHAHAHA apparently the word for that is Mutualism!
As always, the demonic cat dialogue is the best.
Thank you for another chapter!
The demonic cats make this story a lot better, don’t they 😆😆
