Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal?

"Senior Sister, let me make this clear first—if your request is to also become Master's Dao Companion, then forget it!" Li Qingran crossed her arms into a big X shape, glaring at Yue Qianchi with tiger-like intensity.

Yue Qianchi's face stiffened. She flicked Li Qingran's forehead with her finger and said irritably, "Do you think I'm that shallow? Although the Patriarch is fresh and delicious, an excellent candidate for a Dao Companion, and anyone who becomes his partner would surely have an enviably happy life... But! How could I, Yue Qianchi, steal my junior sister's potential partner?"

As long as it wasn't snatching their master away.

Li Qingran's tense expression relaxed slightly as she nodded. "Then what's your condition, Senior Sister?"

Yue Qianchi leaned closer with a grin. "Qingran, doesn't the Patriarch have a treasure that can summon us to another world?"

Li Qingran raised an eyebrow. "Yes, so?"

"I'm very interested in that world and was wondering if I could get some preferential treatment through you." Yue Qianchi rubbed her hands together sheepishly. "Look, I've already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage—quite a decent combatant. But there are plenty of Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect. Could you whisper in the Patriarch's ear to consider me first when he needs Nascent Soul combatants~"

So that's all it was.

"Great! Li Qingran, you're truly a wonderful sister!" Yue Qianchi hugged Li Qingran and planted a kiss on her cheek.

Then her tone shifted. "I have one more tiny request."

Li Qingran motioned for her to continue.

"Well..." Yue Qianchi fidgeted with her fingers, avoiding eye contact. "If you and the Patriarch have children someday... if it's a boy... um... could he become my Dao Companion..."

Li Qingran froze, slowly forming a question mark in her mind.

The mention of having children with their master made her blush, but what followed left her utterly speechless.

Seeing Li Qingran's silence, Yue Qianchi shamelessly explained, "Li Qingran, both you and the Patriarch possess top-tier looks and talent. So your child would undoubtedly inherit both! A boy would be even more suitable as a Dao Companion than your master! As they say, keep the good stuff within the family! I've given up on your master, but your future child... hehehe!"

Li Qingran laughed angrily, turning Yue Qianchi toward the door.

"Qingran, does this mean you're considering it?" Yue Qianchi's eyes lit up as she looked at the door.

"Senior Sister, the door is right there. You may leave now."

With a dark expression, Li Qingran pushed Yue Qianchi outside.

But Yue Qianchi didn't give up, making a last-ditch effort before the door closed. "Qingran, this is really feasible, think about it! Qingran, children's education is important—I could start as a wet nurse for seamless transition!"

Li Qingran wordlessly slammed the door shut.

Peace returned to the world.

"It's not even on the horizon that I'll have children with Master!" Li Qingran leaned against the door and pouted. "Senior Sister really dares to dream—an old cow wanting tender grass... Though to be fair, with her voluptuous figure, any child certainly wouldn't go hungry."

Yue Qianchi's proposal did have some merit.

Provided she and their master actually produced said child.

"Ahh, so embarrassing!" She covered her face and squirmed for a while before calming down.

"Alright, time for action."

What should one do on the first day as their master's Dao Companion?

Li Qingran's eyes sparkled with an idea. "First day—move my belongings into Master's cave abode... Since we're Dao Companions, we should sleep together, exchanging True Essence in inseparable intimacy... Otherwise how could we call ourselves Dao Companions?"

With this thought, she immediately sprang into action.

...

Meanwhile.

At Moon Shadow Sect's mountain gate.

"Immortal Master... Please look at me..."

"Enough, enough, my eyes aren't blind."

Chen Huaian sighed and crouched before the little monkey.

Though part of him held a faint hope, this small monkey bore no relation to that legendary Great Sage from Earth Star.

They didn't even look alike.

Not that he'd ever seen the real Great Sage...

But surely it wouldn't be this child-sized, scrawny little monkey before him.

"First, I'm not an Immortal Master—just a Great Ascension Stage cultivator, far from immortality."

The monkey opened its mouth to speak, but Chen Huaian raised a hand to stop it.

"Hear me out first." Chen Huaian continued, "This world has too many beings—human or demon—seeking the Dao. If they all knelt at my sect's gate begging admission, should I accept them all? Many share your sincerity. If I take you in today, must I take them tomorrow? Wouldn't my sect become overcrowded?"

This gave the little monkey pause.

It vaguely understood that endlessly accepting disciples wasn't necessarily good.

Like when monkey populations exceed capacity and internal strife erupts.

"Value." Chen Huaian said sternly to the thoughtful monkey. "Top sects only recruit geniuses. To make me accept you, beyond sincerity, shouldn't you show me something special?"

"But Immortal Master, I don't think I have anything special."

The little monkey hung its head in confusion.

"Then why should I take you in? Give me a reason."

Chen Huaian patted the monkey's shoulder and stood to return inside.

He planned to leave the monkey waiting for ten to fifteen days before accepting it.

Otherwise it would pester every passing disciple and elder daily.

Yet before he took two steps...

A hesitant voice came from behind.

"Immortal Master, I think I might have something special after all."

The little monkey mumbled, "Immortal Master, I remember... I don't think I was born from a mother monkey."

Chen Huaian's steps halted. His ears twitched as he chuckled, "Oh? If not from a mother monkey, did you spring from stone?"

"Immortal Master truly sees all!"

The monkey kowtowed awkwardly.

"Exactly as you said—I emerged from stone! The monkeys all call me Stone Monkey!"

Chen Huaian whirled around, staring intensely.

"You speak truth?"

The monkey didn't understand the Immortal Master's sudden intensity.

It scratched its head and solemnly raised four fingers to the sky. "If I lie, may lightning strike me five times!"
