Stop Flirting! The Sharp-Tongued Senior Has Sealed Off His Heart

The aloof immortal master Shen Le rescues three-year-old Song Chunhua while hunting demons down the mountain. Discovering that the child is his senior fellow disciple’s orphan, he brings him back to Zhongshan to raise. Song Chunhua cries and whines every day, turning the cold, taciturn Shen Le into an irritable, sharp-tongued man.

After Shen Le painstakingly raises the child to adulthood, he realizes something is off about him. The young man follows Shen Le around every day, acting cute and clingy, and is full of tricks.

Scenario one:

Song Chunhua: “Master.”

Shen Le: “Cut out that disgusting act, or I’ll stab you to death.”

Scenario two:

Shen Le: “Were you strangled by a ghost or something? Why are you gasping when you speak?”

“Ha, you caught me, Master.”

Damn it, Shen Le nearly couldn’t take it and almost ran him through with his sword!

Scenario three:

Song Chunhua: “We could find two people to pretend to be a married couple and provoke her. But it’s too dangerous, so you and I should go instead, Master.”

Shen Le: “Your little schemes are so obvious they’re practically hitting me in the face.”

Caught out, Song Chunhua pouted and raised an eyebrow.

Shen Le: “If you don’t need that mouth of yours, I’ll cut it off!”
