[The world's most aloof and abstinent master, a bottom x a scheming, rabid, violent demon seed, a top] [Feng Yiqing x Xu Chenjin]
Immortal Wuyu took in his first disciple, Xu Chenjin, a demon seed hated by everyone. The righteous cultivators begged him to reconsider, warning, "Once a demon seed appears, the whole world will become an inferno."
Feng Yiqing ignored them all. For the next several centuries, he and the demon seed lived side by side on Miaoling Peak, day and night.
He knew Xu Chenjin was only pretending to be obedient, yet he still taught him the qin, swordsmanship, immortal arts, and the Dao. As long as Xu Chenjin stayed by his side, Feng Yiqing wanted for nothing else.
Unfortunately, the demon seed, born of destiny and reborn through a thousand lifetimes, proved harder to control than expected. Xu Chenjin traded on Feng Yiqing's reputation to throw his weight around, until he finally brought calamity crashing down upon them.
The deed was done, and the righteous sects seized the chance to make their move.
Feng Yiqing had no choice but to take Xu Chenjin to the execution platform. Yet when the execution sword was raised, Immortal Wuyu stood proudly amid the wind and snow, wielding his immortal weapon to knock the blade away.
"I brought him here to tell you all this: no one is allowed to hurt my disciple."
In that moment, Xu Chenjin clearly saw the cracks in Feng Yiqing's proudly emotionless Dao heart.

Xu Chenjin had grand ambitions. His strength was bound to his demonic energy, and he could only rebuild his true body if the demons united the world under their rule.
Immortal Wuyu was the sacrificial stone he'd chosen after careful consideration. Feng Yiqing was a righteous and upright leader who took the world as his responsibility, the very kind of righteous champion Xu Chenjin despised most.
So he catered to his master, using his name to wreak havoc and ruin Feng Yiqing's spotless reputation.
He thought Feng Yiqing would take his life. But the man only shook his head, lightly pressed his bloodied lips together, and said, "Then let it be ruined."
Xu Chenjin had been waiting for this moment. All he needed to do was defeat Feng Yiqing fairly and squarely, and he would obtain the true body he'd long dreamed of.
But fate had other plans. Forty years after Xu Chenjin left the sect, just as he was about to drag Feng Yiqing from his lofty pedestal, he suddenly remembered that four hundred years earlier, Feng Yiqing had been gravely wounded and unconscious outside the Sumeru Realm because of him!
The past could not be undone, and Xu Chenjin was consumed with regret. When he saw the immortal he'd been parted from for so many years, he stammered, "Master..."
But Feng Yiqing showed none of his former affection. The Jingyun Sword flashed, and he struck without hesitation.
"You shattered my Dao heart, led my followers astray, and you still dare come back!"
P.S. Happy ending! Happy ending! Happy ending! What could the little demon possibly be up to? He just wants his master to unite the world while he's at it.
This story includes, but isn't limited to: "I get jealous of myself, and even after losing my memory, I still fall in love with you," "the aloof flower dragged down from its pedestal," "the pursuit of a spouse to the crematorium," "the rabid-dog side unleashed," and "dog-training romance." I wrote this to feed myself. I'm a simple reader, and I love this stuff.
