Chapter 1

My Master, a man renowned on the Cultivation Beauty Ranking, is in a bit of trouble.

He has five female disciples. Aside from me, the Eldest Senior Sister, my four Junior Sisters have all been acting rather bizarrely lately.

Second Junior Sister is a sword fanatic who usually thinks she’s above everyone else. Yet, while sparring with Master, she actually unleashed a move called the Tender Affection Sword. It startled Master so much that he retreated ten steps and fell straight off a cliff.

As punishment, Master ordered her to build a plank path along the precipice to accumulate merit.

Third Junior Sister is lively, bright, and has always been clever. She took advantage of Master while he was bathing, stole his clothes, and led an ox over to propose to him.

Master slaughtered the ox and told Third Junior Sister that if she had so much free time, she could go plow the fields in the back mountains.

Third Junior Sister grumbled as she walked away, “Those books from the mortal realm are total nonsense.”

Fourth Junior Sister was even more surprising. I had always thought she was the cold, aloof type-until she kidnapped Master in the middle of the night and demanded, “If you don’t love me, why did you provoke me?”

Turns out, she’s a yandere.

With his hands shackled to the bedframe, Master blinked. “When did I ever provoke you?”

Fourth Junior Sister said fiercely, “You took me in as your disciple.”

Master leaped up, shattering the bedframe into powder. “You were assigned to me because of a surplus!”

Fourth Junior Sister cleared her throat and looked away.

For the crime of betraying one’s master, Master escorted Fourth Junior Sister to Reflection Cliff to reflect on her actions for three months.

Fifth Junior Sister is gentle-looking and soft-spoken. She climbed into Master’s Cangmu Courtyard in the middle of the night, only to find him standing at the door waiting for her. He promptly tossed her right back out.

Fifth Junior Sister’s voice drifted through the air: “Master, I didn’t even f***ing do anything yet!”

I was the only female disciple who hadn’t laid her demonic claws on Master.

Master observed me for several months.

However, aside from gossiping and snacking on melon seeds, I was perfectly normal.

Being able to watch four young, passionate Junior Sisters chase after Master with such a variety of tricks every day felt like the karmic reward for my years of cultivation.

To get a front-row seat for the drama, I joined this “loving” family gathering.

I flew up to catch Fifth Junior Sister as she fell from the sky. Second Junior Sister, Third Junior Sister, and Fourth Junior Sister all gathered around to ask how the battle went.

Fifth Junior Sister shook her head.

A heavy silence fell over the group.

I handed out a handful of melon seeds to each of them, and we began to chat while we cracked them open.

Second Junior Sister said, “My hands have been numb lately from building that plank path.”

Fourth Junior Sister looked back and added, “Reflection Cliff is incredibly boring.”

Third Junior Sister looked into a mirror. “Plowing the fields isn’t so bad.”

I couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Junior Sisters, why have you all taken a sudden interest in Master?”

The four of them looked at each other.

Fifth Junior Sister said flatly, “Eldest Senior Sister, we’ve all been given missions to win Master’s heart.”

I was shocked. “Does that mean… if you fail, you’ll die?”

Fifth Junior Sister replied, “Not really. But if I succeed, I get ten thousand Spirit Stones.”

Second Junior Sister said, “If I succeed, I can immediately break through to the next realm.”

Fourth Junior Sister said, “If I succeed, they’ll give me the most expensive Spirit Pet from the Beast Taming Sect.”

Third Junior Sister said, “If I succeed, I can take Master’s place.”

“Third Junior Sister, you want to be the Sect Leader?”

Third Junior Sister’s large eyes sparkled. “No, I want to take Master’s place on the Cultivation Beauty Ranking.”

So, it turned out Master was just a Bounty Mission.

Third Junior Sister suddenly looked at me. “Wait, Eldest Senior Sister, didn’t you receive a strange mission too?”

I smiled brightly. “I did. My mission is to watch the show.”
