After living this long, Duan Heshu has wanted to die for ages.
He has a perfect plan. Raise one… No, to be safe, two successors. Once they ascend to immortality, he can retire with his work complete and go die
Sure, his eldest disciple is deep and calculating, his youngest is rebellious and unruly, and a bunch of unrelated people are all watching them like hawks… No big deal. Their life-threatening rebellious phase will pass soon. It won’t stop him from dying
Eldest disciple: "Why won’t you take me with you when you’re ready to pass on? Why leave Qingyun alone to eke out an existence in this world?"
Duan Heshu: "…I thought you were pretty independent."
Youngest disciple: "You think you can just leave like this?"
Duan Heshu: "Aren’t you always acting like you want to drink my blood and eat my flesh?"
Youngest disciple: "…"
It’s fine, Duan Heshu reassured himself. It’s just imprinting. They’ll sort themselves out in a while, and then I can still go
Wait, what’s this chain around my ankle?
Wait, how did we end up in the Age of Declining Magic? Are you trying to destroy the Three Realms???
A seemingly aloof, flower-on-a-high-peak shizun who’s actually a slacker and a sarcastic commentator shou × a gong with multiple incarnations
1. Everyone is a little psychologically unstable, especially the two gongs. The shou is the most normal one, with the soundest values.
2. This is a writing exercise, so please be gentle.
