What does a warrior do, when there’s nothing to fight…

For years, Sen battled his way across the kingdom, fighting spirit beasts, scheming sects, and demonic cabals. He’s ended wars, battled a devil, and even retrieved a priceless spiritual treasure for a dubiously grateful nine-tail fox.

With his wandering days temporarily on hold, Sen returns to fulfill a long-standing promise to the eccentric and possibly unhinged Fu Ruolan. Alongside him? A child he never expected to raise.

Now, instead of hunting enemies, Sen’s facing the daily trials of raising a child—teaching core formations and sword forms alongside table manners and bedtime routines. Between guiding spiritual growth, setting boundaries stronger than any formation array, and explaining why you don’t spar with spirit beasts, Sen is discovering that raising a young cultivator may be more daunting than any battle he’s ever fought.

But when old debts come due and hidden threats stir, Sen may find that even a quiet life demands a warrior’s resolve.
