◆ The gods do not love humanity, except for the one who touched their soul
Rational, laid-back, detached bottom × devoted, scheming nonhuman top | Marriage before love + a fun-loving dad's daily life raising a child + my take on Chinese cosmic horror and folk supernatural tales
Qi Tong, the "invisible man" at the Special Security Bureau, has been cornered by two epic-level nuisances, one big and one small!
Even though he hates trouble more than anything, he can't resist two genuinely gorgeous people who are offering him way too much.
The little one is as cute as a doll, dressed in dinosaur pajamas and carrying a kitty-shaped bag. With huge eyes brimming with tears like two runny fried eggs, the child cries, "Daddy! Don't leave Rongrong!"
The grown-up is wickedly beautiful, with long hair and a dark robe. Leaning against the doorway, he takes off his rimless glasses and smiles without a hint of remorse. "I didn't want to bother you, but the kid missed you so much I couldn't stop them."
Qi Tong looks at the child, who has the exact same crescent-shaped double eyelids and little curls as him, as if they'd been copied and pasted.
But unless he's mistaken, aren't there at least hundreds of tentacles writhing in that little pink bundle's shadow?
Qi Tong looks at the gorgeous man again. With a casual poke of his fingertip, the Bureau's most powerful reinforced ward on Qi Tong's front door (which cost him his entire fortune: 30,000 points) pops like a bubble. QAQ
Qi Tong, in danger: Should I run now, or...?
The gorgeous man: I'll pay you back ten times over, plus compensation for emotional distress.
~☆~★~
After being forced to live together, Qi Tong's life takes a sharp turn:
The indescribably vicious and eerie creatures make a point of lying flat right in front of him, wiggling their tentacles and acting cute. "Let us rub against you, cling to you, and get head pats!"
Even the usually aloof higher-ups at the Special Security Bureau fuss over him and grant his every request, terrified that the taboo entity calling himself "Tu Yuedan" might get upset.
Only Qi Tong knows.
Every night, this evil god who makes all beings tremble wraps his cold, slick tentacles around Qi Tong's ankles, sounding aggrieved:
"They all want to get close to you. I don't like it."
"...You can only touch me."
~☆~★~
Tu Yuedan, an ancient evil god born alongside the divine tree, is the calmest and yet most difficult being in this world to deal with.
Once, gravely wounded and on the verge of death, he fell into a deep slumber.
Until one day, a passing human wandered into the forbidden grounds and, with a warm palm, gently stroked his most sensitive... roots.
In that moment, the sensation was so intense it seemed to consume him, but then a sudden transformation occurred.
The offended god swore that this audacious human would pay tenfold, a hundredfold!
~☆~★~
Later, their identities are revealed.
His teammates discover that Qi Tong, who usually loves to slack off more than anyone, has somehow turned into a workaholic, rushing to the front lines to suppress forbidden-spell-class sealed objects.
Meanwhile, the evil god rumored to destroy the world is wearing a plain apron and scowling as he carries Qi Tong out of a swarm of monsters:
"How many times have I told you not to touch other filthy things? Give me your hand so I can disinfect it. Dinner's getting cold, and I can't wait any longer either."
Rongrong gestures for everyone to cover their eyes. "Shh! Nobody look! Daddy and Papa have debts to repay~"
