In the original timeline, there was a special male supporting character. When he first met the female lead, he had the appearance of a scholar. When the female lead asked for his name, he said he had no name, so the female lead called him "Nameless".
This character, who initially seemed harmless, appeared ordinary among the male lead and supporting male characters at the time. However, he gradually revealed a terrifying side later on.
It turned out that he came from the Demon Abyss and was neither human nor demon, but the only creature in the world created by a twist of fate. It could devour and merge with living things. It was a monster without human emotions, intelligent yet cruel, full of resentment and dominated by the desire to devour.
In the 486th year of the Celestial Evolution, for unknown reasons, several cracks appeared in the Demon Abyss connecting to the human realm. Ten years later, the cracks suddenly expanded and gradually merged with the human realm.
The demons and monsters from the Demon Abyss poured out, bringing catastrophic disasters to the human world. It was through this opportunity that Nameless escaped from the Demon Abyss and met the female lead.
In the original plot, he was very protective of the female lead in the early stages, providing comfort to her who was suffering immensely due to her unrequited love for her master.
However, as the plot developed, Nameless' conspiracy was exposed.
It turned out that he only wanted to use the female lead to break through the defenses of the male lead, the Supreme God Xuan Cang, seeking an opportunity to make him suffer and be hurt—only by weakening the Supreme God Xuan Cang's power could he devour him.
Of course, Nameless' plot ultimately did not succeed. The female lead still ended up with the male lead, the Supreme God Xuan Cang. As for Nameless, before his death, he had the opportunity to kill the female lead to take revenge on the male lead who had hurt him.
However, at the last moment, he gave up. He only glanced at the female lead and said, "The first time I saw you, you were in the form of a white dragon. That was the most beautiful sight I had seen since leaving the Demon Abyss." With that said, he turned into a puff of dust.
Regarding Nameless' origins, how long he had stayed in the Demon Abyss, and how he had turned into that monstrous form, no one knew the answers to these questions. Even in the original plot, his first appearance was only a chance encounter with the female lead playing in the lake. His past was a complete blank.
No one knew that Lu Linsheng, the person who was bullied due to his ugly appearance in Peng Village, in the original world, after killing someone, wandered into the mountains in a daze and never came down.
He was attracted by the crack of the Demon Abyss that had opened in the Luyang Mountains and fell into it. He was the initial form of "Nameless". The final Nameless was a transformation from Lu Linsheng, but was no longer Lu Linsheng, so he abandoned this name.
In the original world, the existence of "Lu Linsheng" had no intersection with the female lead. However, in the current timeline, Bai Ling accidentally entered the Luyang Mountains and met Lu Linsheng, becoming his obsession. Because of this, he followed Bai Ling and did not get lost in the mountains and enter the Demon Abyss.
If it had continued like this, the demon "Nameless" in the original plot might not have appeared at all. However, fate played a trick. Due to Xuan Cang's momentary negligence, the fate of "Lu Linsheng" still returned to the starting point, back to its original position.
...
There were still ten years until the cracks connecting the Demon Abyss and the human realm would completely open up and merge.
Xuan Cang was completely indifferent to all this, while Bai Ling was completely unaware.
Only that indistinct piece of bloody flesh in the Demon Abyss tried to climb out of the abyss day and night, returning to the world where its obsession existed.
"Cackle, it can't get out. No demon can get out!"
"It's easy to come in here, but hehe, it's hard to get out."
"The Demon Abyss is a cage that completely locks us evil demons in. Unless the East Sea overturns and the Divine Sword shatters, we can't reappear in the human world. It's best not to try in vain."
There were countless whispers and ridicule in the darkness. That bloody and indistinct monster seemed to have no sense, not responding to any words, only making such meaningless attempts day after day.
In the Demon Abyss, demons devoured each other, following the law of the survival of the fittest. In the beginning, when that little rat demon fell in, it was immediately swallowed by another demon. However, not long after, that demon exploded, and a monster fell out of its body.
Every time a demon swallowed that monster, it would die before long. The weaker ones would directly explode, while the slightly stronger ones would die in agony because the monster inside them was like a living thing, devouring their internal organs and body before crawling out of their bellies.
It was like a game, whoever was eroded first would die.
Those powerful great demons, out of curiosity, tried to swallow this monster. However, before long, they would spit it out. To them, this monster was no different from the rubble that could be seen everywhere.
Eating it was of no use, and it was uncomfortable to keep it in the stomach. The monster also could not devour these demons whose power was too strong for it at the moment.
This seemingly weak and harmless monster would also take the initiative to devour other demons. At first, it was afraid of everything around it, but slowly, as the number of times it was devoured and devoured increased, something in it was eroded and gradually replaced by other things.
It began to get used to all this and enjoy the process of obtaining more flesh and blood. Except for trying to leave this place, it spent the rest of its time looking for demons to devour.
The monster gradually became clever and greedy, seeking the most suitable "food" and even disguising itself or using itself as bait.
The Demon Abyss was vast, with many unexplored places and various demons. It was a huge nest that easily bred all kinds of filthy things. The monster wandered around in it, experiencing devouring and being devoured every day. Resentment, malice, and demonic energy nourished every living thing in this boundless darkness.
...
A large patch of sunflowers bloomed on the back mountain of the Blazing Flame Valley, almost spreading into the lake where Bai Ling played. The yellow sunflowers surrounded the blue lake, and the two colors of yellow and blue met, making people feel refreshed.
The sixth senior brother stood by the small house and shouted towards the lake, "Little junior sister, someone from Mount Youfu has come. Master wants you to go meet them!"
He called out three times before the calm lake water suddenly parted, revealing a white dragon head. The white dragon exhaled, clearly displeased.
"Who's here again?" She had been shedding her horns recently, her head constantly itching, and soaking in the water in her original form made her more comfortable, so she always stayed here. To go out and meet guests, she was very reluctant.
After dawdling for a while, she finally transformed back into human form, scratching her forehead as she went.
Ever since the Supreme God Xuan Cang was rejected by her and left in a huff, every so often a few immortals from Mount Youfu would come to Guiyi Immortal Sect to see Bai Ling, with only one purpose - to persuade her to become Supreme God Xuan Cang's disciple at Mount Youfu.
Bai Ling: "..." Seeing how decisively he was driven away, she didn't expect him to still play this move!
The so-called "don't hit a smiling face", these immortals who came with a mission mostly had very good attitudes. Bai Ling knew Mount Youfu was impressive, so she couldn't tear their faces off.
Each time she had to come out and deal with them, letting them ramble on, hinting and suggesting, praising Mount Youfu and Supreme God Xuan Cang to the skies. But Bai Ling's answer was always the same in the end - not going.
Besides these persuaders, Mount Youfu also sent quite a few precious gifts, all for Bai Ling. Xuan Cang's original intention was to repair their relationship, but when Bai Ling saw those varied gifts, she became even more suspicious.
She felt that Supreme God Xuan Cang must have ulterior motives. Otherwise, with no special connection between them, and him looking down on her, why would he send so many nice things for no reason?
"Unexpected kindness must be ill-intended!" Bai Ling completely refused to accept those gifts, returning them the same way they came.
Later on, even Master Chi Yan became suspicious. "He must have taken a fancy to our Ling girl! That's why he's trying every means to get Ling girl to go to him! That old shameless man, how old is he to still be doing this!"
Bai Ling: "Master, you sound just like me!"
Chi Yan: "Hahaha, I am your master after all!"
Bai Ling: "Hahaha Master is awesome!"
No one paid any attention to the Supreme God Xuan Cang.
The little immortal who went to Guiyi Immortal Sect returned empty-handed again. Walking into Xuan Cang Temple with trepidation, she reported: "God, the dragon girl still hasn't changed her mind and refused the gifts."
Supreme God Xuan Cang's aura was icy cold. Hearing this, he moved his fingers. "Leave."
After the person left, Xuan Cang closed his eyes in thought. This female lead, he really couldn't figure out what she wanted. She was simply immune to both soft and hard tactics.
In terms of sincerity, the twelve chief immortals under him at Mount Youfu had all gone to invite her. This lineup would be enough even to invite the Celestial Emperor, yet she remained unmoved. It was too arrogant.
But forget it, there's no rush. She looked quite young. After some time passed, maybe she would forget about this. Coaxing her then might be more effective.
If that really didn't work... then wait a few more years. Wait until the East Sea overturned, the Dragon God Sword shattered, and that enemy of the White Dragon Clan reappeared. At that time, she would have no choice but to seek his protection.
As for Guiyi Immortal Sect, when the Demon Abyss opened and demons appeared, they probably wouldn't even be able to protect themselves, let alone shelter Bai Ling. Maybe Bai Ling would even have to ask him to protect the sect instead.
So proud and aloof now, he wanted to see what gave her the right to keep being so proud. He would just wait here for her to come begging.
No matter what kind of woman, he would conquer her.
Bai Ling: "Achoo!"
Sixth Senior Brother: "Little junior sister, how come you sneezed? Did you catch a cold from soaking in the water too long at night?"
Bai Ling: "Sixth senior brother, how come you're talking like me too?"
Sixth Senior Brother was startled: "...Eh? I didn't notice, how did this happen?"
As they were talking, Second Senior Brother passed by carrying a pitchfork. "Sixth junior brother, little junior sister, I dug up some melons in the field, sweet and crisp. Want to try some?"
Bai Ling brought back a basket of spirit melons produced and sold within the valley. Puzzled, she couldn't help asking Old Seashell: "Old Seashell, how come Master and senior brothers can't help but imitate the way I talk? You've been with me for so long but don't copy me?"
Old Seashell shed a tear for himself: "...Little master, in order to demonstrate a normal way of speaking to you, I've been working my old life away!"
Heaven knows, when he first heard the adorable little princess that hatched from the dragon egg speak this way, how despairing he felt. Where on earth did this accent come from? Could it be that when the queen was pregnant with the little princess, she ate something strange?
Bai Ling: "What's wrong with talking this way? I've spoken like this since I was born, I don't find it weird."
Old Seashell: "Alright alright, whatever little master says is fine!"
When Bai Ling successfully shed her first pair of dragon horns, she personally took the shed horns and some materials and forged them into a short sword.
This was her first independently completed work. To commemorate it, she named this short sword "Dragon Horn" and made it her personal weapon, usually using it to cut things. After all, there were many tasks a hammer couldn't do.
To celebrate her successful horn change, Master and a few senior brothers gathered to have a drink. Bai Ling also joined in the fun and drank a few cups, drinking until she lost consciousness. When she woke up, she found that she had reverted to dragon form, hanging on a rack like a noodle, whiskers drooping to the ground, tail soaking in a wine vat.
The senior brothers were all rubbing their arms and legs, while Master had a big lump on his forehead.
Bai Ling lifted her tail and swished it, then shook her dizzy big head. "After I got drunk, I started fighting you guys?"
Eldest Senior Brother shook his head: "No no, little junior sister, you got drunk and changed back to dragon form, saying you wanted to take us flying. We flew so high! But halfway through, you suddenly let go and dropped us. Master got a bit tired catching us. The lump on Master's head was from your hammer that you dropped."
Bai Ling was dumbfounded: "...I can fly? I dared to fly while drunk?? I even dared to take people flying???"
She had no memory of this flying accident, but Master and senior brothers all stated it as fact, not seeming to be lying. Even Old Seashell cried with emotion, "Wuwuwu little master you really can fly ah, you flew so well this time, flying in a 人 shape, then in a 一 shape. If only you could always be like this!"
Bai Ling: You think I'm a southward flying wild goose?!
