The Temple Master Always Wants to Make an Early Appearance

The Setup Yun Wuxiang transmigrated into a book. Good News: He didn’t become the villain, the cannon fodder, or the protagonist. Nor is he a nameless extra. His name is woven throughout the entire book, frequently mentioned by every character. That’s right—he is the legendary “Otherworldly Expert” who is only supposed to appear at the critical climax of the late game! Bad News: He knew none of the above. The game started on an isolated island, complete with a Daoist temple and a pile of secret cultivation manuals. To ensure he wouldn’t starve to death on the island or get beaten to death once he left, Yun Wuxiang cultivated diligently, finally reaching the highest realm described in the manuals. The Conflict With his combat power maxed out, he felt secure. Yun Wuxiang felt ready to head out. But as it turned out, he couldn’t leave. The Will of the World declared: “You cannot go anywhere until the protagonist finds you.” It then tossed a System at him. Yun Wuxiang, finally realizing he had transmigrated: “…Why didn’t you say so earlier?” Yun Wuxiang: “When will the protagonist arrive?” System: “The entire plot takes ten years from start to finish. The protagonist will arrive here at the end of the tenth year.” Yun Wuxiang: “What year is it now since the plot began?” System: “The plot hasn’t started yet.” Yun Wuxiang: “…” The Encounter One day, Yun Wuxiang was staring blankly at the ocean surface. An unidentified object drifted over. He took a look from afar. What was that? A corpse? No, it moved. It was a person! A human!! A living human!!! Yun Wuxiang excitedly dragged the person back to the temple. What? Don’t pick up random people? I can’t hear you! I won’t listen! That is a living person! Heaven knows how long it’s been since he saw a living soul! Trapped on this island for so long, he was bored out of his mind. He finally fished up a live one! The Pairing An Otherworldly Expert VS The Scoundrel He Picked Up Notes: 1v1, HE (Happy Ending). The Gong is not a good person. This is not a normal romantic relationship. This is not a fluffy sweet treat. Protagonists: Yun Wuxiang (Shou) x Song Yilou (Gong)
