Sunny, popular, affectionate toward the shou, and a master of playing dumb while hiding his true nature gong x seemingly aloof but genuinely socially anxious sword immortal shou
Junior x senior brother
Power couple, devoted to each other, one-on-one, happy ending
Mu Hanyu, the third senior brother of the great cultivation sect Heavenly Wrath Nine Skies, was extremely cold and distant. He wore a handsome, icy expression all day, ignored everyone, and focused solely on cultivation. He was a renowned cultivation fanatic.
His cultivation had brought him great renown, too. His swordsmanship was peerless, earning him the title "Sword Immortal Mu, Whose Cold Rain Shocks the Sea."
But who knew the real reason he was so aloof was that he suffered from severe social anxiety?
Whenever he got nervous, he had no idea how to talk to people.
Few people knew he was socially anxious. Most saw his cold expression, then heard him speak, and found every word utterly cutting! Everyone said Sword Immortal Mu was arrogant about his talent and difficult to get along with.
Person 1: "Senior Brother, would you like a bowl of tremella soup?"
Mu Hanyu, stone-faced: "No, I'll just eat the spoon."
Person 1: "Sorry, I asked a stupid question. Enjoy." They set down a bowl of tremella soup and ran off.
Mu Hanyu: "..." No, I was just embarrassed. That came out wrong...
Person 2: "Hello, Senior Brother. Are you taking out the trash?"
Mu Hanyu, coldly: "No, I'm collecting trash to take home."
Person 2: "Sorry, I shouldn't have greeted you and tried to make small talk..."
Mu Hanyu: "..." No, I was just panicking and said the wrong thing...
Person 3: "Sword Immortal Mu, I'd like to ask you about the essentials of cultivation."
Mu Hanyu, coolly: "Talk less."
Person 3: "Sorry, I'll cut out the nonsense and focus on cultivating."
Mu Hanyu: "..." No, I just meant you should talk less because I don't know how to answer...
Person 4: "Demons run rampant. If we don't stand up to them, how can we live with ourselves? Right, Sword Immortal Mu?"
Mu Hanyu: "Dying is still dying."
Person 4: "Damn."
Everyone: We've developed a fear of talking to the Sword Immortal.
Mu Hanyu: Please, stay away from me. Stop talking to me. I don't know how...
Chu Naitian: I won't.
The tall, broad-shouldered Chu Naitian hugged Mu Hanyu from behind, buried his face in the back of Mu Hanyu's neck, and nuzzled him with his nose. "Senior Brother, I like you so much."
Mu Hanyu: "Get lost."
Chu Naitian: "You're so mean. That really hurts."
Mu Hanyu: "..."
