Sleepless

Ye Gong, the War Venerable of the Three Realms, has developed insomnia. He lies awake night after night, and has grown quite haggard.

The people of the world repent: It's our fault for making Your Venerable worry.

Ye Gong: Actually, I haven't worried that much.

The people of the world suggest: We should summon the Celestial Physician to treat you right away.

Ye Gong: Actually, there's no need for that.

The people of the world think it over. How about we summon Shen Po for you?

Ye Gong: Sounds good to me.

The people of the world: ????

Ancient immortal Ye Gong, who's millions of years old × childish little White Dragon Shen Po

Ye Gong loves dragons. This CP is just that straightforward.

[Ye Gong]

"I, Ye Gong, was born when the Three Realms first came into being, and have spent my whole life protecting all living things under heaven. Over the past millions of years, I've suffered more than thirty-six thousand injuries, great and small, and never once asked for anything in return. Now, all I want is Shen Po. If even this small request can't be granted, I'd rather see the Three Realms crumble and vanish into darkness at the very moment chaos first began."

[Shen Po]

"You stand atop the clouds on a lofty mountain, while I dwell in the northern sea of the underworld. The distance between us is like the distance between heaven and earth. I cut through every obstacle, undaunted by any hardship, and step toward you one step at a time, no matter how battered I become. I do all this not so I can live well on my own, and certainly not so I can forget you completely. Perhaps I can't summon wind and rain, but at least when storms come, I can stand beside you, weather them with you, and walk by your side for the rest of our lives."

[Nan Chen]

"You are just like the rest of them. All you want is to get rid of me. But have you ever wondered why I exist? I was born from the resentment of the Three Realms. If no one held resentment in their heart, how could I, Nan Chen, exist? If you want me to disappear, you should first put an end to injustice in this world, instead of focusing all your efforts on opposing me. As long as resentment remains in the world, I, Nan Chen, will never perish. Even if you somehow manage to kill me, one day there will be an East Chen, West Chen, or North Chen. Who can guarantee that, when the time comes, there will be another you willing to sacrifice yourself to die alongside me?"

[Su Heng]

"I don't think about things as complicatedly as you do. I just want to take care of the people I care about. The Three Realms, all living beings, all those countless lives you keep talking about: where are they? How am I supposed to know whether people I've never seen, heard, or even met really exist? What gives you the right to ask me to give up my lifelong wish for people I don't even know exist?"

[Hong Yi]

"I once thought the world was unjust, and blamed heaven and earth. Later, I realized I was wrong. The truth isn't that the world is unjust, but that the world has grown accustomed to injustice. The people responsible for all this are human beings, the multitudes of ordinary people. They turned natural disasters into man-made calamities. The people of the Three Realms all share the same origin, yet those who have already been saved have never treated those still struggling in the abyss as their kin. They all understand without needing to say it: as long as the people who are ignored and treated with indifference threaten their interests, they will sacrifice them without hesitation in the name of the majority. I, Hong Yi, stand here today to ask you: Was everything I did for the Kun Clan really wrong?"

I'm reliable about finishing my stories, and will try to update daily. I will see this through to the end.
