After successfully completing his mission, Li Yu retired in peace and lay in his grave, waiting for the mission to be settled.
But after waiting for eight hundred years, he still hadn't received word that his mission was complete. Instead, he got some bad news:
System: "This is bad, this is bad! Host, someone's outside trying to dig up your grave!"
Li Yu: ???
Who did I piss off this badly?!
When Li Yu secretly climbed out to see what was going on, he was at a loss for words.
His childhood friend and sworn brother was now a cold Immortal Venerable, determined to uphold the law and take the criminal back to his sect for trial;
The black dragon he'd raised since it was little was now the young lord of the demon clan, eyes red as he swore to capture him and take revenge;
His sworn enemy, who had once shared life and death with him, was now the lord of the demon realm, and couldn't resist jumping into the fray to watch the fun.
The three great powers had gathered in front of his grave, each radiating murderous intent.
Li Yu: Help! System, hurry, let's run for our lives!
Later, Li Yu realized something seemed a little off.
His seemingly heartless sworn brother took his hand and gently reassured him, "We're going home. Don't be afraid."
The violent, cruel black dragon wrapped his arms around Li Yu's waist and buried his face against him, crying, "Brother, don't leave me..."
His trouble-loving nemesis let his smile fade, his gaze utterly serious. "Do you doubt that my feelings are true?"
Li Yu: ...
Good heavens, is it too late to go lie back in my grave and play dead?
Childhood friends, younger love interest saved from darkness, rival showdown
I hear open endings are an option...
