[Gentle yet Unhinged Demon Lord Gong x Spoiled and Cherished Noble Flower Shizun Shou]
Si Jingque, the famously disliked gay Immortal Venerable of the immortal sects.
Though blessed with exceptional talent, he was plagued by illness and lived a life of debauchery. He recruited disciples every year, yet had nothing to show for it.
But he wanted to be a shizun, too. So he fished a tiny blood-soaked boy out of a pile of corpses and coaxed a "Shizun" out of him with two chestnuts.
His little disciple had terrible aptitude, but he was hardworking and respectful, serving and pampering Si Jingque like an ancestor. At last, Si Jingque got to enjoy being a shizun.
Unfortunately, before he'd had his fill, Si Jingque was tricked and killed in Soul-Binding Valley while fighting to win his disciple a Heaven-Rank magical artifact.
When his obedient disciple arrived, he didn't shed a single tear. He focused intently on pulling out Si Jingque's immortal bones.
Only then did Si Jingque remember that once refined, his immortal bones would make a fine Heaven-Rank magical artifact, too.
So that was the little brat's plan all along.
He'd merely raised an ungrateful wretch. It was no big deal.
He had only made the same mistake every shizun in the world made.
Demon Lord Mu Wanxiu hated three things more than anything in life:
First, using the Passion-Burning Art on his shizun, hypnotizing him into falling in love with him.
Second, telling his shizun that for his birthday, he wanted a Heaven-Rank magical artifact powerful enough to awe the immortal sects.
Third, failing at his Soul-Summoning Forbidden Art for the thirty thousand and eighteenth time, leaving the cultivator before him a charred corpse.
The thirty thousand and nineteenth body was still on its way in a bridal sedan.
Eight hundred years after his death, Si Jingque was reborn. When he opened his eyes, he was in a bridal sedan.
There were no gongs or drums, no wedding chamber and candlelight. He was taken to the depths of a frigid pool to serve as a living body for the Soul-Summoning Forbidden Art.
He'd heard that the Demon Lord had prepared a wedding robe for every living body.
His beloved had died on their wedding day. Once his soul returned, they could continue the wedding ceremony they'd left unfinished.
But why did the Demon Lord's voice sound more and more familiar?
At the moment the forbidden art succeeded, Si Jingque, in agony, tore off the red cloth and met Mu Wanxiu's utterly cold gaze.
Si Jingque: ...
Wait, he didn't even have any immortal bones left to make into an artifact. Why was this man still trying to kill him?
A little extra:
On their wedding night, Si Jingque was so thoroughly charmed by his sweet-talking disciple that he temporarily forgot the grudge over having his bones cut out.
It couldn't be helped. He was born gay, and Mu Wanxiu was a little gay boy he'd raised himself.
Besides, he could sleep with him and leave. He wouldn't take responsibility. He was a scumbag shizun.
But the noodles his disciple cooked were so delicious, the bed he made was so soft, and the way he used his strength felt so good...
Oh no. It seemed he was about to make the same mistake every shizun in the world made.
Maybe he could give Mu Wanxiu that immortal-bone zither as an engagement token?
During a battle, the Demon Lord's immortal zither was destroyed, and Si Jingque was heartbroken.
"I only had that one set of immortal bones for you to make into an artifact!"
Mu Wanxiu paused, then gently kissed his beloved shizun's brow and said:
"How could I bear to use your immortal bones to make an artifact?"
"I forged this demonic zither from the bones I carved out of myself."
"Your immortal bones are still being carefully nurtured inside my body."
