After the Proud Dragon Top Was Broken Off

The kind of dragon-prideful bottom who gets dumped

1. The bottom is dragon-prideful, a genius since childhood. But after he was badly injured on an adventure as a teenager, his cultivation stopped progressing, and everyone started to see him as a good-for-nothing.

He was engaged to someone, a match arranged by their grandfathers. Everyone had thought he was a girl back then, but it turned out he was a boy. The engagement still stood, since in the cultivation world, where humans, beastfolk, and demons could all freely find partners, same-sex marriages were hardly unusual.

But the dragon-prideful bottom's fiance wanted to break off the engagement. The fiance thought, "I'm destined to make a name for myself. Why should I marry a man? And one who's become a good-for-nothing, no less."

The fiance's family didn't say so outright, but they more or less agreed. Their family was also an eminent clan, and they wanted a marriage that would unite two powerful families. As things stood, the dragon-prideful bottom's cultivation was indeed rather unimpressive.

Then the fiance's elder brother stepped in. He was a classic authoritarian patriarch. Although he thought it was wrong to go against an engagement arranged by their elders, he couldn't ignore his younger brother's tantrums. He also understood that his brother and the dragon-prideful bottom had no feelings for each other. They had never even met, yet their elders had bound them together.

Besides, his younger brother cultivated the Heartless Path and really wasn't suited to marriage.

The elder brother decided to go to the dragon-prideful bottom's clan or sect to end the engagement. As it happened, he had some skill in alchemy and medicine, so he brought generous compensation and promised to stay at the sect for a year or so, helping the dragon-prideful bottom recover from his injuries and advance his cultivation.

Of course, the dragon-prideful bottom couldn't bear the humiliation. End the engagement? What kind of joke was that? Wouldn't that bring shame upon him and the clan behind him?

He didn't want the elder brother's compensation, and he certainly didn't agree to end the engagement. Even if it was going to end, he should be the one to break it off. Who was his fiance, whom he'd never even met, to do it?

2. The dragon-prideful bottom sneered and said, "Your younger brother's a spineless coward. He doesn't even dare come here himself to break off the engagement, so he sends his big brother to do it for him."

The elder brother knew he was in the wrong. It didn't matter which side ended the engagement. Either way, it couldn't continue.

But for various reasons, they still failed to break it off.

After all this, their sects were on the verge of a falling-out. They were both powerful families with reputations to protect, and neither wanted things to get too ugly.

They decided to leave the engagement in place for now and wait until the sect's upcoming xx tournament to end it peacefully at a public event.

The fiance's elder brother stayed with the family. The dragon-prideful bottom didn't want him there, but he still kept his promise and examined the dragon-prideful bottom's health.

Years ago, the dragon-prideful bottom had been injured in a secret realm and bitten by a venomous snake. He had taken medicine to suppress it at the time, but the poison was still inside him.

"I can force the snake venom out of your body, but it may be painful."

After all, snakes were lustful by nature. And the venom had been in the dragon-prideful bottom's body for so long that forcing it out all at once might cause all that lust to erupt.

The dragon-prideful bottom scoffed. "Go ahead and give it your best shot."

The dragon-prideful bottom considered himself a real man, someone who could stand tall and was unafraid of blood or pain. But he never expected it to be... lust poison!

As an inexperienced young man, he couldn't handle the intense sensations. The treatment took a long time and had to be repeated every day, but he couldn't even get through the first day before collapsing limp onto the bed.

When the elder brother helped him up, he saw the face that was usually full of pride. His black hair was damp and clung to his temples. His eyes and lips were glistening, and even his gaze was unfocused.

The elder brother stared, stunned.

He was a stern, abstinent man who had kept himself under strict control since childhood and never indulged in lust. He had never seen such a provocative sight.

He forgot that the other man was his younger brother's fiance and instinctively reached out to tuck the dragon-prideful bottom's hair behind his ear.

3. The dragon-prideful bottom was thoroughly afraid of the elder brother now. He even suspected the elder brother had done it on purpose, deliberately using this to humiliate him.

Every time they forced out the poison, he had to wear only a thin undershirt and sit on the bed. No matter how tightly he bit his lip, he couldn't stop himself from making soft sounds, while the elder brother watched him with a calm gaze. It was utterly humiliating!

Just then, the dragon-prideful bottom's childhood friend sauntered over with a grin. "It's just the big brother of some lousy fiance. Why are you being so nice to him?"

Childhood friend 2: "Exactly. But what kind of treatment requires taking your clothes off?"

Childhood friend 3: "Can we watch? Let us make sure he's doing it right."

The dragon-prideful bottom was surprisingly open-minded about this. That night, he invited his childhood friends to watch, so they could see whether the elder brother was genuinely focused on forcing the poison out or deliberately "getting back at him" and tormenting him.

At night, a group of childhood friends lay on the roof, watching the dragon-prideful bottom sit in the arms of a much larger man. They wore only their undershirts, both drenched in sweat. His skin was naturally fair, and the close contact made the color of his flesh visible through the thin fabric. His familiar face, usually full of youthful confidence, now held an unprecedented expression of restraint and flush. His slender, pale fingers clung tightly to the man's arm...

The childhood friends were stunned.

In a daze, they thought: The dragon-prideful bottom's marriage alliance was meant to make him someone's wife. What a coincidence, they didn't have wives either...

4. Later, the fiance finally appeared. He was the typical sword cultivator who followed the Heartless Path, whose one true love in life was his sword!

But the moment he saw the dragon-prideful bottom, his mind filled with one thought: This is the love of my life.

But the two families had already agreed to end the engagement. The fiance wanted to fight for it, but a crowd of people stopped him.

Behind the dragon-prideful bottom stood a row of favored sons of heaven. Among them was his stern, traditional elder brother...
