I Wronged and Abandoned the Demon Venerable

A legend about a sword cultivator is told throughout the cultivation world. Chu Hanzheng, the first disciple of Perfected Mingyuan of the Sword Sect, created the Forty-Two Forms of the Seven Stars Sword Manual at eighteen. His Frost-Slaying Sword flashed with peerless brilliance, making him famous across the Nine Provinces. He was widely recognized as a once-in-ten-thousand-years genius in the cultivation world. Even more famously, he had a nickname: The Most Beautiful Man Under Heaven. As for just how beautiful he was, legend had it that the great demon Yue Wushi fell hopelessly in love with him at first sight by the River of Crossing Tribulations. But Chu Hanzheng's heart was firm, and he was unmoved by Yue Wushi's advances. According to the rumors, Yue Wushi went mad after his love went unrequited, broke Chu Hanzheng's wings, destroyed his spiritual root, and imprisoned him in the Demon Palace for hundreds of years. This led to centuries of fighting between the cultivation world and the demon realm. * Chu Hanzheng had always thought he was playing a proper cultivation game. After grinding missions and gear, he had finally raised a top-tier character, yet every ending had him locked in the Demon Palace dungeon for hundreds of years before dying for no apparent reason. He had reset countless times and failed countless times, but never thought anything was wrong. He could only marvel that the ultimate hidden boss was just as the game described: unpredictable, and the Floating Jade Demon Palace dungeon was indeed hard to beat. But he never imagined that one day he would enter the game himself, and land right in the dungeon with its hellish, endlessly resetting difficulty. In the underground palace, he and the Demon Venerable stared at each other. The Demon Venerable was indeed impossibly handsome, dressed in a gorgeous black robe that trailed across the floor, radiating unmatched dignity. The only flaw was that this handsome man had a little belly. The slight bulge of his stomach looked terribly out of place with his tall, slender figure. That was what Chu Hanzheng thought. But the Demon Venerable's cultivation was unfathomably deep. When Chu Hanzheng gave him a casual look, he seemed to take offense, furrowing his brows slightly. Chu Hanzheng felt the demonic energy he released shake his internal organs out of place. He couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood. He thought the boss really was as moody as the game had described... But then the big boss of the Floating Jade Palace instantly changed expression, and the demonic energy around him vanished in an instant. Yue Wushi crouched down and gently wiped the blood from the corner of Chu Hanzheng's mouth. His eyes filled with pain, he rasped out a line so outrageously out of character it struck like a bolt from the blue: "Hanzheng, what am I supposed to do with you..." !!!??? Later, Chu Hanzheng learned that it wasn't the Demon Venerable's little belly. It was irrefutable proof that he had seduced and then abandoned the Demon Venerable... He flirted with Yue Wushi for game gear. He slept with Yue Wushi for an S-rank technique. He got Yue Wushi pregnant with his child. Then he abandoned Yue Wushi. And so Yue Wushi went mad. Theme: Don't ask. The answer is that he regrets it.
