A Small Fry Should Know Her Place
[Brain storage] 🧠
(Before reading, dear readers, please leave your brains here for safekeeping! Thank you!)
(This book is meant to help you relax and unwind, so please don't get too hung up on the details. I write whatever I feel like (and have no brain), so if you spot any mistakes, feel free to point them out, and I'll fix them as fast as I can!)[Dear readers on Tomato, I really can't help it. Once it's uploaded, I can't change it at all.]
(If it suits you, stay; if not, we can part ways. If you find after reading that it really isn't to your taste, quietly leaving would be our best understanding~ Please don't leave negative comments and hurt this thin-skinned author. Thank you!)
([Genre notes] This is a plot-driven fanfic for a female audience. No CP, strong female lead. The heroine is a straightforward egoist, but she'll give her all for the people she cares about.)
(She may save characters whose fates left regrets, but if that makes you think she's a saint, please leave directly and steer clear! Thank you!)
(Early on, the heroine's mindset is more like she's watching a show... Only after she makes friends she cares about will she want to intervene in their fates. If that bothers you, please steer clear! Thank you!)
([A small disclaimer] The story contains some original settings, and characters' personalities may be adjusted as the plot requires. Everything is in service of the story.)
If you're OK with all of the above, then please enjoy the story to your heart's content! Love you all! ❤️
The gloomy heavens were like a filthy rag, smothering the entire sky.
A gale swept along bean-sized raindrops, which pattered against the spiritual energy shield Chu Yao had raised, like a flock of sparrows recklessly throwing themselves against a wall.
"Travel, travel, more travel!" Chu Yao stood on her flying sword, leaning slightly forward as she grumbled like a machine gun. "Every time, I have to wait for this lousy weather before I can travel! Does heaven have a grudge against me? Why does it make the sect issue missions at times like this? Who knows what the old geezer wants this time? He just had to make me go back to the sect! Doesn't he know I've been waiting in Harbor City for Heavenly King Li's concert? My pretty young man—!"
At the thought of those VIP tickets she'd had such a hard time getting going to waste, Chu Yao's heart bled.
They weren't just tickets. They were her precious chance to embrace freedom (and eye candy)!
Fuming, she gritted her teeth and threw a Thunderstorm Talisman into the sky.
The talisman turned into a streak of light and vanished into the clouds. The already heavy storm clouds churned like boiling ink, and a blinding bolt of lightning tore across the sky. A thunderous boom followed, making her eardrums tingle.
Crack!
A thick silver serpent struck straight down, hitting Chu Yao squarely.
Not only did she not dodge, she straightened her back and let the current run over her body, making a faint sizzling sound. She even narrowed her eyes in comfort.
"Ah, back in the cultivation world in my previous life, when did I, the supreme ruler of the demonic path, ever have to worry about mortals? I could fly through the heavens and burrow through the earth, come and go like the wind. If some mortal got on my nerves, I could wipe them out with a flick of my hand. Not like now..." As she drew lightning to temper her body, she ranted furiously in her heart, This damned heaven struck me into this godforsaken place, and it has a ridiculous number of rules! I have to make artificial rain as cover just to fly on my sword in broad daylight, for fear some blind mortal will film me on their phone and post it online with a headline like, "Shocking! Unidentified flying object spotted, suspected alien invasion!"...
Sensing the pitiful fluctuations of spiritual energy within her, which had only just stabilized at Early Foundation Establishment, Chu Yao came to a bitter, indignant acceptance of reality.
"Forget it, forget it. A small fry should know her place. It isn't time to go head-to-head with the rules of the whole world yet."
She, Chu Yao, who had once dominated the world as the supreme ruler of the demonic path and struck terror into the righteous path, had now fallen so low that she had to sneak along under cover of artificial rain. If word got out, it would be enough to make her long-suffering junior sister Meng Chanyi die laughing!
Boo-hoo~ Junior sister, your senior sister misses you! Chu Yao wailed in her heart. If you were here, why would I have to handle this lousy business of using my brain to get around the rules myself? You'd be in charge of plots and schemes, and I'd be in charge of fighting and killing. With our duties clearly divided, together we'd be unstoppable! Not like now, all alone, having to set the scene and the lighting myself just to travel...
