After My Death, I Discovered My Disciple Was Secretly in Love With Me

CP: Female Master x Male Disciple / Sect Leader x Morbid 'Little Dog' / Emotionally Deficient x Sensitive and Inferior.

A hundred years ago, Bai Yuheng sealed a demon at the cost of her life, almost scattering her soul, with only a wisp of primordial spirit remaining in the world. A century later, the demon-sealing barrier was destroyed, and her primordial spirit re-condensed, allowing Bai Yuheng to recover her physical body and some of her cultivation.

To investigate the truth behind the barrier's destruction and avoid alerting the enemy, she concealed her identity and returned to the Tianyan Sect. She effortlessly defeated all new disciples, becoming a pre-disciple of the Tianyan Sect. After successfully completing the entrance tasks, Bai Yuheng, due to her extraordinary talent and rare cultivation roots, was highly sought after by several elders. Unable to reach an agreement, the choice fell to her.

With a faint smile, under everyone's eager and curious gaze, Bai Yuheng pointed to the silent man sitting in a high position. "I choose him." It was Pei Yuan, her former disciple.

Pei Yuan was born in the mud, a natural evil spirit, disliked and shunned by everyone. When he was on the verge of death, pressed into the dirt, a goddess descended and annihilated the demons who had tormented him.

Pei Yuan looked up at her from the filth. She smiled gently, extended her hand to him, and asked, "Are you willing to come with me?" Pei Yuan's ears roared, and his hardened heart pounded violently. "...I am willing."

Pei Yuan became a disciple under Bai Yuheng, the Immortal Azure Phoenix Emperor of Wangxian Mountain, transforming from a despised and bullied evil spirit into a respected disciple of the Tianyan Sect. He believed he could stay by her side forever. But in that war, he watched her perish, her soul scattering.

Just a little, just a little bit more, and he could have held onto her, just as she had extended her hand to pull him from the mud all those years ago.

Pei Yuan reluctantly accepted this disciple but didn't pay much attention to her. Bai Yuheng didn't care either; she investigated her case, and he did his own thing. She only occasionally lamented how cold and distant this disciple had become.

Until one day, she stumbled upon his secret: when he was afflicted by a love poison and deeply immersed in desire, he called out her name. Bai Yuheng: ...?

Well... that was quite sudden. The disciple I raised like a son is actually lusting after me!? But later, for some unknown reason, this "master's" gaze towards her also became increasingly strange. Good heavens, he's looking at what's in the pot while eating from the bowl!

No, wait! Why am I getting jealous of myself? Unit stories include: ① The Female Ghost of Furong Town, ② The Ghost Lord of White Bone Ghost City, ③ The Human Skin Lanterns of Jiangzhou, ④ The Yin Soldiers of Shangjing City, ⑤ The Divine Underworld Realm, ⑥ Currently in production...
