The Demon Venerable Has a Cat

Yu Yan transmigrated into a cultivation novel as the stand-in for the beloved protagonist. Upon waking, he faced the cliff-jumping scene—an act the original character never dared to follow through, only using it to threaten those who once cherished him. Everyone knew he wouldn’t jump, so they didn’t even spare him a glance. But Yu Yan leaped—because he knew his chance for a dramatic comeback lay at the bottom of the cliff! There, imprisoned in the abyss, was the novel’s greatest villain: the Demon Lord Duan Lin. Armed with the knowledge that the Demon Lord was a secret fur lover, Yu Yan transformed into a kitten and lived like a tyrant. Of course, the Demon Lord was suspicious at first, whispering menacingly: *"If I find out you’re just a human in disguise, you’re dead."* Yu Yan’s acting skills were exceptional—his sheer stupidity successfully convinced the Demon Lord to spoil him rotten. All he had to do was absorb a hidden source of spiritual energy at the cliff’s bottom, and he could ascend, flipping his fate in one glorious move. Unfortunately, a decade passed in the blink of an eye. Yu Yan had explored every nook and cranny of the abyss, yet the legendary opportunity remained elusive. What *did* become increasingly obvious, however, was how strange the Demon Lord had grown—he’d turned into a full-blown stage parent! *"Idiot, you’ve eaten so many miraculous elixirs and still can’t take human form?"* *"Why haven’t you transformed yet today?"* *"Too stupid. Can’t you even cultivate properly?"* *"I forbid you to die!"* Finally jostled awake, the cat lord hissed angrily: *"Dammit! Who’s spreading rumors I’m dead again?! I’m just sunbathing—how many times do I have to say it? I’m not dead!"* As the Demon Lord’s intense "tiger parenting" escalated, Yu Yan abruptly shapeshifted right in his arms. At that moment, Yu Yan swore he saw the Demon Lord blush. Though this lie would surely be exposed once they left the abyss, Yu Yan later witnessed the Demon Lord grabbing the protagonist and roaring: *"You counterfeit! Where’s my cat? What have you done with him?!"* Yu Yan’s reaction? *"This is satisfying."* A hilarious, disguise-heavy cultivation tale: **Noble Cat Master (Bottom) × Humble Litter-Scooper (Top)** *The little bottom is actually a cat—he just doesn’t know it. He thinks his acting is flawless, but the truth is…*
