Immortal Venerable Shen Jiyue has been quite troubled lately.
A lot of bestselling storybooks have suddenly appeared among the common folk.
The protagonist of every book is Shen Jiyue himself, and, to his mortification, he has a "husband" in them.
At first, Shen Jiyue was only angry and didn't take it seriously. But every night at midnight, he would fall into a strange nightmare.
The dream's plot was exactly the story in those outrageous books!
In his dreams, he flirted and bantered with someone who looked exactly like his sworn enemy, the Ghost King, and even... made passionate love with him!
After waking from the steamy dream, Immortal Venerable Shen's cheeks were flushed.
He had lived a celibate life for hundreds of years. How could he have ever seen such a thing?
How could a dignified sword cultivator like him get involved with someone like that?
A conspiracy! This had to be the evil ghost's conspiracy. That guy wanted to humiliate him!
He went alone to the ghost realm to confront the evil ghost. Holding his long sword to the Ghost King's neck, he demanded fiercely:
"Why humiliate me like this? Why come to me in my dreams and... and... do such... indecent things with me...?"
His voice grew quieter as he went on, as if he found it too embarrassing to say.
The Ghost King hadn't expected the Immortal Venerable to come to him over something like this, either.
His arrogant, flamboyant expression disappeared. He lowered his head, the tips of his ears turning red.
"If it bothers you, Immortal Venerable, I... can take responsibility."

There are three paths of cultivation in this world: the Immortal Path, the Demon Path, and the Evil Ghost Path.
The Demon Path stands apart from the other two, while the immortals and ghosts are sworn enemies.
Word spread that the sword cultivator everyone hated so much had been captured by the Ghost King and locked up in his manor to be tortured day and night. The bolder ghost cultivators wanted to see for themselves and satisfy their curiosity.
Under cover of night, they crept to the Ghost King's manor and peered through a window.
The sword cultivator lay on the bed with his eyes closed. Their Ghost King slowly reached out toward him.
Good, good! Choke that annoying sword cultivator to death! the ghost cultivators thought to themselves.
To their surprise, the Ghost King's hand was pushed away.
Shen Jiyue lazily rolled over. "Don't bother me."
"Still not had enough sleep?"
The Ghost King's voice was gentler than any of the ghost cultivators had ever heard. He bent down, opened the Immortal Venerable's robes, and kissed his way downward.
Shen Jiyue seemed to let out a soft hum. He pushed the mischievous man away, then buried his face in the Ghost King's clothes.
"How am I supposed to get enough sleep when you spend all day writing that outrageous nonsense and disturbing my dreams?"
