prologue (1/2)

This was one of the first books I read outside of the recommendations from Shusheng bar, so perhaps it's apt that this would be the first book I posted on the Shusheng .

In the six realms, there is G.o.d, demon, immortal, spirit, mortal, ghost.

In the mortal world, there is a Tian Yan Mountain. On the Mountain, there is a soul splitting cliff. On the soul splitting cliff, there is a small soil mound. On the soil  mound, there is a tree. On this tree, there is a... glossy ganoderma (basically, a mushroom that grows on trees).

”What an ugly mushroom,” Someone furrowed his brow and walked away.

This caused the small ganodema to be a laughing stock among the other creatures on Soul Spitting Cliff. Until one day, a wash of white light fell from the sky. It caused her to save 500 years of cultivation and immediately took human form - she became a baby and was carried away.

Gu Xiao Mo? Little Mushroom?

It turns out that he and her were both monsters. Under this big sky, it is afraid that there is no s.p.a.ce to hold them.

What is spirit, what is demon, what is immortal, what is mortal?

For love and justice! Little Mushroom! Transform!

At shusheng bar, I've commented largely on the flaws of the book - the plot and pacing is quite slow (3-3.5 stars), but what made it special for me is the main couple - Little Mushroom and Yu Liu (his name is made up of words suggesting fragance and beauty).

Little Mushroom is a mushroom spirit, in which a small immortal who had descended to become a demon had taken possession of part of her spirit. This small immortal is made from one of the stones of Nu Wa (the great mother G.o.ddess), she is made of the same material of the Heavenly Sword - the most powerful sword in all of the realms. She descended to become a demon because she fell in love with a the great G.o.d, Zi Wei, and this was against the laws of heaven. They locked her up and she stole the Heavenly Sword and caused great chaos.

They meet again - after Little Mushroom gets lost from her big disciple brother after her younger disciple sister got kidnapped because she was wearing Little Mushroom's pouch and they mistook her for Little Mushroom. She was sad because big disciple brother thought she was a monster. Yu Liu asks her to help him gain back his internal essence and items so he can break his seal. She didn't know yet that he was the reincarnation of the Dragon G.o.d, or his sad past.

”It turns out that you me... both are monsters,” He said lightly, without coldness, without pus.h.i.+ng anyone away. Little Mushroom paused, and forgot to smile. As the smile left her lips, it slowly appeared on Yu Liu's lips.

Yu Liu gazed at her back, as if he wanted to fiercely capture her expression in his heart.
