Am I the Only Straight Man Left in the Entire Cultivation World?!

Shen Fu transmigrated into a male-oriented cultivation power fantasy, a book where golden fingers were everywhere and everyone had a cheat. He became a bit-part cannon-fodder character.

After completing the few missions he had, Shen Fu lay flat for hundreds of years. He outlasted the sect leader and watched his fellow disciples die, and just as he was about to inherit a whole mountain of gold, the world reset.

Back to square one overnight, Shen Fu said, "Screw you! Are you messing with me?!"

And, to make things worse, he was reborn at the only plot point he had in the book: saving the protagonist, Ji Yanzhi, when he was being hunted.

Flames soared into the sky. Standing atop a pile of bones, Shen Fu looked down at Ji Yanzhi in a pool of blood and couldn't help sighing. "I really do owe you... Rise again, my great Lord Long Aotian."

According to the script, Shen Fu should have left as soon as he was done. But midway through, Ji Yanzhi, who had passed out, slowly opened his eyes.

Shen Fu hurriedly knocked him out again and ran.

That was close. He'd almost been found out.

He had just escaped back to his bedchamber when the sect leader kicked the door open and tossed a blood-covered youth onto his bed. "My dear junior brother, this young man's spiritual roots are excellent. He'll make a perfect furnace cauldron and cure the deadly poison in your body!"

Damn it, this wasn't the plot he was supposed to follow! He'd suffer backlash for going against the story!

Shen Fu's vision went black. He was all but ready to die on the spot from the plot's backlash.

But several nights later, Shen Fu was lying flat with a pile of gold and silver in his arms, waiting to die, when an odd sensation touched his lips. Shen Fu's pupils dilated in shock.

Ji Yanzhi, who had successfully stolen a kiss, gazed at him with undisguised adoration. His cheeks were even flushed with excitement. "The sect leader says a furnace cauldron is born for this. Shizun, would you like to use me?"

This was worse than the plot's backlash. Could somebody explain why the perfectly normal Long Aotian had suddenly turned gay?!

Ever since Ji Yanzhi latched onto him, Shen Fu gradually realized that the people around him seemed a little off.

The Alliance Leader suddenly ended up in bed with his sworn enemy. The fellow disciples, who had once been so close they'd take a blade for each other, came running out of the same room in disheveled clothes...

As the only witness to all these incidents, Shen Fu gradually realized that he was the only straight man left in this male-oriented cultivation power fantasy!

Shen Fu was on edge, buttoning his clothes all the way to the top every day and keeping his distance from every man, especially Ji Yanzhi.

Extra scene:

One day, Shen Fu passed the Alliance Leader's room and heard Ji Yanzhi's voice inside. Curious, he put an ear to the door.

Alliance Leader: "You mean if I deliberately kiss my opponent on the mouth while we're fighting, he'll kiss me back even more fiercely?"

Ji Yanzhi: "Nine times out of ten."

Senior Brother: "If I pretend to be sick and cry after sword practice, will my junior brother really come bathe with me in the hot spring without any clothes on?"

Ji Yanzhi: "Works every time."

With a bang, the door was kicked open, and Shen Fu stormed in with his sword. Those were all the dirty tricks Ji Yanzhi had used on him!

That day, everyone in the Immortal Alliance watched in astonishment as the useless wandering cultivator, who usually panted after taking a couple of steps, chased the Alliance Leader and the two greatest fighters in the world around with his sword for an entire night.

They say the three of them fled in terror, clutching their heads. What a lively scene.

A beautiful master who seems lazy but is secretly powerful, an uke, x a Long Aotian seme who cries in front of his master but will stop at nothing to get what he wants

P.S.:

1. Exclusive pairing, one-on-one. The seme and uke only have each other.

2. The seme really is crazy about the uke and would love to cling to him all day.

3. Neither lead is perfect. They both have personality flaws, but they're a case of the right pot finding its lid: they're made for each other. Don't read if that's not your thing.

4. The author has a high school education and the writing skills of an elementary schooler. If anything bothers you, feel free to leave.

5. I'm a wage slave who writes in my spare time and still hasn't learned the ropes of web fiction. You can insult me, but please don't attack the couple. Anything you dislike is because my writing skills aren't good enough, orz.

-----Coming soon-----

Everyone knows that Immortal Venerable Fuyuan, Zhu Yuhui, was stabbed through the chest and had his soul destroyed in an earth-shattering battle with the Ghost King, Chu Xiaoyi.

Who knows how many years after his death, Zhu Yuhui opened his eyes and was reborn as a minor celestial official about to be demoted to the mortal realm for having too little merit.

Fortunately, he only had to fulfill one more wish for a believer to earn enough merit to remain in the immortal realm.

But why was the wish they'd sent up a fanfic about him and the Ghost King?!

Zhu Yuhui carefully read the whole thing and was thoroughly shocked.

What did it mean that he and Chu Xiaoyi turned love into hate? What did it mean that Chu Xiaoyi refused to reincarnate because he couldn't forget Zhu Yuhui's melancholy eyes? What did it mean that Chu Xiaoyi had stolen his corpse so he could fondle it day and night?

Zhu Yuhui blushed and his heart raced (with anger) as he snapped the hair-raising fanfic shut.

He and that Chu guy hated each other that much. How on earth had this person started shipping them?

There was nothing he could do. Once he accepted the mission, he couldn't quit, so he had to grit his teeth and get on with it.

But who could have guessed that the fanfic would fall right at the Ghost King's feet the moment they met?

A key line, underlined in red ink in one place: "Just give him a kiss. It's for the mission, for your survival!" It was now right there in Chu Xiaoyi's view.

Zhu Yuhui: "O.0 Oh no, I forgot to check the almanac before going out."

He had just crouched down to pick it up when Chu Xiaoyi pinned it underfoot.

Chu Xiaoyi: "Your handwriting..."

Zhu Yuhui's inner thoughts: "It's over! I just got reborn and I'm already going to be exposed?"

Chu Xiaoyi: "Even ghost writing looks more like it was written by a person than yours. Did you never go to school when you were alive?"

Zhu Yuhui nodded like a bobblehead. "That's right, I'm illiterate! Hehe~"

Chu Xiaoyi magnanimously moved his leg aside. The crisis was over, and Zhu Yuhui immediately tried to run.

He had only taken three steps when he heard, "It's hideously ugly, but it does look just like the handwriting of someone I once knew."

Zhu Yuhui turned around without thinking, and met Chu Xiaoyi's icy gaze.

!!!

Extra scene:

Word on the street was that a certain heavenly official and the Ghost King had been making beautiful music together every night since they got together. The official had to be held by the Ghost King to get out of bed each morning, and would only eat if the Ghost King fed him by hand. The Ghost King even helped him put on his shoes and socks~

Zhu Yuhui pounded the wall in anger. "What kind of nonsense rumor is that?! Didn't I burn all the romance novels? How are there still more?!"

The "wall" himself held Zhu Yuhui by his slender waist, covered in kiss marks, and said coolly, "It's just something ordinary people made up for fun. Why care?"

Zhu Yuhui: "Wait, why isn't this Ghost King called Chu Xiaoyi this time?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, ghostly aura surged around them. Chu Xiaoyi abruptly drew his sword and stood up.

Zhu Yuhui: "What are you doing?"

Fury burned in Chu Xiaoyi's eyes as he gritted his teeth. "Those ignorant fools are spreading lies. They should have been dealt with long ago!"
