Question: What is it like to transmigrate into the same book three times?
Shen Guyun: Thanks for asking. This is my fourth time. I just want to die!
The first time, Shen Guyun only wanted to go home, so he latched onto the protagonist and followed the original plot, helping him quell the rebellion and defeat the villain. In the end, the protagonist repaid him by "betraying his teacher and destroying his ancestors"!
The second time, he went against the original plot, pampering the villain and stepping on the protagonist. In the end, the villain repaid him by "honoring his teacher and respecting the Way."
The third time, he refused to follow the usual script, treating the villain and the protagonist equally. They fought over him so fiercely that he had no choice but to blow himself up and die.
Now it's his fourth time in this book. Shen Guyun looks at the two little wolf cubs before him and rolls his eyes decisively: "Get lost. I'm not taking disciples!"
The rejected protagonist and villain: ?
He thought that if he avoided the two cubs, he could live out his days in peace. Who could have guessed that just ten years later, the sect leader would be injured and go into seclusion, leaving the enormous Xuanming Sect and the two cubs who still hadn't graduated in his care?
Shen Guyun: Is it okay if I say what the hell?
Looking at the handsome young man before him, Shen Guyun recalls the honeyed sweet talk that had lingered in his ears in his past lives. He shudders and grits his teeth: "You can kill me, but you can't humiliate me!"
From then on, Shen Guyun goes down the road of being a vicious master without looking back:
- He uses the protagonist's flesh and blood to make pills and feeds them to dogs.
- He blinds the protagonist and abandons him in a secret realm.
- He drains the villain's spiritual power to raise a pet, then plays with it.
- He breaks the villain's legs and throws him into the Ten Thousand Demons Pit.
As he keeps trying to get himself killed, Shen Guyun finally sees the hatred they've been suppressing in the two cubs' eyes. As they grab his hands, he wonders: Will they dismember me, or torture me to death?
To his surprise, they suddenly pull against each other, ignoring him completely and staring only into each other's eyes. Their gazes are resolute as they speak in unison:
"My master is someone I've searched for across three lifetimes. Why should I let you have him?"
"My..."
Shen Guyun: ???
