....Y'know, honestly speaking...this doesn't annoying me that much this time around for some reason.
Rather, Su Luxia doesn't have to do much at all this time around because all she's doing is letting this stupidly written world come apart at the seams by applying simple common sense. Never did like these sorts of cultivation stories for this reason.
Of course the Master is going to be trusting and pure-hearted enough to follow leads and believe things at face value.
Of course Wushang is going to be the "kind" heroine who just wants everyone to get along while either having zero grasp of or outright ignoring the contradictions in that sentiment.
And of course Lixuhan is gonna be the badboy edgy asshole who keeps doing evil things behind her back.
Just by letting these people be themselves and putting them in a room together, Su Luxia is hurrying along the end quite smoothly.
...Also, really? There's no other evil demon it could be? Scumbags that think nothing of human life are a dime a dozen in this sort of world, especially in the "evil" demon races, so the only qualifier is the hair and eye color.
