The Immortal Venerable Made Me His Furnace

The Hehuan Sect knows how to train its furnaces.

But everyone knows the finest furnace in the entire sect is the Sect Master himself, Hua Qinghe.

They say he was born with a bewitching physique, and that being with him is an endless delight. Plenty of people would love to test their furnace with Hua Qinghe, but he has too many sinister tricks up his sleeve to be an easy target.

Everyone looks down on Hua Qinghe, yet the moment they hear Sect Master Hua has gone out for fun, they come running from miles away to cavort with him, throwing money around like water.

One by one, they act like dogs, desperate to catch even a whiff when they can't get a taste.

After being treated as "meat" by everyone for so long, Hua Qinghe has had enough. He wants to raise a furnace of his own for a change.

The more furnaces you have, the more impressive you look, so he finds three in succession:

A little mute he bought out of a demon den for a hefty sum, quiet but skilled, with the sturdy waist of a male dog.

A refined and gentle scholar he meets by chance in the mortal world, kind, considerate, and understanding.

And just as he's managed to hook the third, his sworn enemy Yun Dan comes along to crack down on vice and catches them red-handed.

Yun Dan: "Hua Qinghe, how many are you going to find?!"

Yun Dan, Supreme Venerable of Qingxuan Mountain, the pinnacle of the sword path.

When Hua Qinghe was young and foolish, he once flirted with him and got beaten so badly he hid in the Hehuan Sect for decades, too afraid to show his face.

Now that he's been caught, Yun Dan will probably chop him into a thousand pieces.

Hua Qinghe gives up trying to save face and antagonizes him: "If I go a single day without dual cultivation, my whole body aches! If I don't find someone else, should I make the Immortal Venerable my furnace?"

Yun Dan's gaze darkens. "Fine."

Hua Qinghe: ??

His sworn enemy is an old cucumber sprouting fresh shoots, and he's become addicted to being a furnace. He wants to be Hua Qinghe's lifelong cultivation partner, willing to build him a home and bow his head and give him his heart.

Tsk. He's taken things too far.

But it doesn't matter. Hua Qinghe plans to fake his own death.

1. Hua Qinghe x Yun Dan. A heartless, flirtatious troublemaker of a bottom versus a lofty, untouchable top. The top has multiple facets. Cheesy, melodramatic tropes, happy ending. Old-school story focused on the two leads. Also known as "Can't I Date Three People at Once?" "It Was Just for Fun, Do I Really Have to Take Responsibility?" and "My Sworn Enemy Wants to Be My Furnace."

2. A medium-length, palate-cleansing story born from a kink that lets the little head control the big one.
