Small PSA from Yue Qingyuan

[runicnotation]

I love the headcanon that YQY shows more signs of aging than most cultivators bc of Xuan Su nonsense, and SQQ thinks he does it as a play to get extra respect. But also, is like, into it against his own will. It's just so funny to me bc all I imagine is,

YQY, Dilf mode, with grays in his hair and crows feet around his eyes, just chilling:

SQQ, flustered and visibly fuming, refusing to make eye contact:

YQY: Xiao Jiu won't look at me 🥺

YQY: I'm simply hideous in my age...

SQQ: I cannot fuck him. I cannot fuck him. I hate his guts I CANNOT FUCK HI-

[runicnotation]

Ok so Xuan Su gets reforged eventually, maybe Bingge does that shit for fun and then shoves it away in a treasure vault in the Demon Realm. The only issue is that it's haunted now, by the saddest man unalive- Yue Qingyuan. This mostly just means he's stuck in this room full of other swords and trinkets and stuff ... Until one day the vault opens and one of Luo Binghe's numerous children wanders in. The Junior Luo is a teenager and he's drawn to Xuan Su when he sees it. He's been looking for a good sword to take when he goes exploring. He doesn't ask anyone about taking it. He only sees his Dad like once a week anyway and he's kid like, 137 out of 234. He's not sure Dad knows his name. But now he and Xuan Su are out out in the world exploring.

Meanwhile

I'm realizing that I don't remember what happens to Xiu Ya in PIDW canon but we can say it stayed in Huan Hua Palace instead of going to the demon realm, which is why LBH never noticed it was now haunted by SQQ. Eventually the sword comes to Totally Normal NPC Shen Yuan (who's been tasked by the system to create a good sequel to PIDW) and now SQQ has to stop moping and make sure his stupid naive weilder doesn't die and leave him in a ditch.

Something something, chance meeting while off adventuring and SY and Junior start adventuring together, and also trying to hook their swords up since their respective sword ghosts are clearly gone on each other.

But of course this tale of unlikely friendship (and maybe also some love because Junior takes after his granddad and Shen Yuan is so pretty and they even held hands that one time 😍) can't run perfectly smooth. And who's always the bad guy in these kind of stories? Dad.

[runicnotation]

yk, I had this Liushen idea. Like at some point in Liu Qingge's one sided courting to Shen Yuan, his sister just looked at Shen Qingqiu and Liu Qingge's interactions and just went... "Ge, I dont think Peak Lord Shen has any idea you're courting him?"

And everything just sorta clicked.

Afterwhich Liu Mingyan decided to help her brother out seeing how depressed he had gotten when he realized that Shen Qingqiu hadn't been rejecting or accepting his courting but just didn't know it was happening.

So, Liu Mingyan started spreading some rumors, and yk. A Peak full of gossipers is going to go far, and it eventually gets to the point where some of the Qing Jing Peak disciples are spying on Shen Qingqiu and Liu Qingge's meetings at the bamboo house until they are finally caught and just ask, "SHIZUN! Are you and Liu-Shushu courting!?"

Leading Shen Qingqiu to go into a full on shock choking on air attack while Liu Qingge just sorta pats his back trying to help. And Shen Qingqiu just goes, "What!? Obviously not-! Just ask your Shushu he-" and Liu Qingge just sorta looks away not disagreeing while Shen Qingqiu has a whole entire internal crisis of 'WTFFFFFFFFFFF BUT WASN'T HE STRAIGHT, AM I STRAIGHT???????????'

and the system is sitting there sorta just like...

[HOST IS A FOTHERMUCKING IDIOT (T^T) -150 B--POINTS]

AU where SY is ZZL's uncle from his father's side, so he's a snake demon. Transmigration or not, doesn't matter, he's here and delightfully clueless.

He took up raising ZZL after his brother and sister in law skedaddled. He doesn't force ZZL into anything and is proud of him when he becomes a general.

He is close enough with TLJ and SXY that when she dies, she entrusts her baby to him. Baby LBH has no sealed off demon powers because SXY trusts SY to give him a good life. He takes the baby, but has no idea what to care for the little squishy thing that cries a lot.

He somehow wings it (the fact LBH is half demon was coming in clutch real hard). He's doing well enough. Eventually, he encounters a demonic cultivator that tries to kill him for his venom or something and for baby LBH since he's a heavenly demon. That's when a cultivator saves him.

YQY was around by coincidence, attending some diplomatic meeting nearby when he sensed a lot of demonic energy in the distance. When he was done, he tracked down the energy. He dispatches the demonic cultivator, but completely hesitates to kill the snake demon because it has a baby.

He can tell the demon has the same protective love he had for his Xiao-Jiu, and he contemplates just turning his back on the incident. He really does think about it until the snake demon stops him and begs to know what a human baby should be fed.

YQY again hesitates and turns back to the demon. He rattles off baby safe foods like it's second nature and eventually asks to see the baby to see how old it was.

The snake demon hesitantly does, and YQY freezes when he realizes the baby is a heavenly demon. But he logics it out that the baby is probably half human and has a chance to be a spiritual cultivator (he can't bring himself to kill a baby).

He offers the snake demon to stay with him and allow the baby to become his disciple. The demon agrees wholeheartedly.

Yada, yada, yada. They bond during the trip back to the mountain and SY shares his name and what happened. YQY has an oh shit moment. SY says something surprisingly insightful about how no matter what as long as Old Palace Master was around, TLJ and SXY were going to end in tragedy.

They get to YQY's home and SY gets a whole wing of the house to himself (I hc that the sect leader leisure house was meant to originally be the headquarters of the sect before it became the 12 peaks so the home is really big). SY and YQY take care of baby LBH, SY taking care of feeding and most things because well that's his baby >:[ and YQY takes care of teaching him cultivation.

Okay so now that I tricked you into following me into this dark alley, I think it's a good time to mention this with be a freak4freak thing... Also that in my head SY's demon form is something like this

This is a DND Yuan-ti. Kinda fitting lmao. And like SY would be like a REALLY pretty snake. Because it's SY.

Anyway back to our irregularly scheduled programming.

SY also teaches LBH demonic cultivation (to balance LBH and make sure he can't get corrupted yk) , but they make sure that he knows it's a last resort sort of thing. When LBH gets older, YQY starts taking him to spar with him, but SY was to get to a tiny snake form and hide in YQY's robes when he goes out with them.

For some reason SY starts like hardcore crushing on YQY (it's not hard to just look at him 🥴), so he starts trying to get to know YQY and starts stalking him because like no one around TLJ is normal about affection. It works a little, SY starts giving YQY gifts he likes, which gets him attention in return.

But during one of his stalking moments he finds YQY having tea with SQQ. SY immediately gets jealous because YQY acts so much softer with this man that glares and insults him than him and their child. He starts overanalyzing to see what possibly could this man have that he doesn't?

SY concludes that the thing this man has over him is that he's a peerless beauty. So what does he do? Lock in on cultivation so hard until he can force himself to have a human form. Obviously.

So because he's busy with that, he starts letting LBH and YQY alone with their training. YQY thinks it's because SY feels weak and wants to be strong enough to protect LBH, which he's like "why? does he think I can't protect him? I need to try harder then :(" And LBH somehow reverse logics his way into the right conclusion and he's all for being able to walk around with his baba in the open.

Eventually during one of the training sessions, someone sees LBH and YQY. And that's like obviously his secret kid or something because that kid is a noisy disciple that loves starting shit.

It soon gets to SJ's ears and he's pissed. How DARE someone knock up his gege without his knowledge! He goes to MQF (always assume I'll somehow sneak in mujiu if the ship is yueyuan) and demands to know WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!

And MQF is like "I haven't delivered any mpreg babies in a while" and SJ concludes his Qi-ge knocked up a woman, which is strange because he headcanoned his gege as gay and his headcanon CAN'T be wrong.

Around the same time SY unlocks the human babe skin on his avatar and shows YQY. YQY is going through it, and his erectile isn't dysfunctioning now. SY is all proud of himself thinking that YQY will like him better now, and YQY is panicking because Helen of Troy is in his house.

LBH is happy because he can go on walks with his father AND his baba. So he's basically winning. Especially because he's finally old enough to join the sect.

LBH's dads (he has so many fathers his greed sickens me) are going through it in the background as he's having his first day at school. Something happens that I'm too out of to figure out and now he's crushing on MF.

MF feels like he's being hunted but every time he looks he just finds the sect leader's son looking at him like this

So obviously he thinks he's going crazy and moves on.

SQQ eventually sees LBH and thinks "FUCK he has my gege's eyes! The rumors are true!" He then becomes determined to make MF beat LBH at everything else. MF is confused, but he's not going to disappoint his father figure.

Around now YQY is still freaking out about Helen of Troy being in his home and also a demon. And with a little Airplane logic he's like "Well, fuck me I guess. I have to eventually introduce him because he's LBH's dad, and I'm also like LBH's dad. Co-parenting would leave too much room for questions. I guess we're getting married."

YQY uses a seal to hide SY's demonic energy and forges marriage papers and hides them in the records to make it seem like his master had allowed them to elope in secret.

Anyway my point is stupid slice of life romance anime shenanigans that might become serious as it continues but then returns to stupid slice of life romance anime shenanigans

I think we should give little Shen Jiu a gun. I just wanna see what he does with it. I think it'll be fine he's very mature for his age.

[runicnotation]

Love the concept where YQY and SQQ are trying to lure SY to be their third in their relationship only to be met with the wall of denial. Meanwhile LBH in the background is trying to steal their little cabbage. Bonus if they hate each other.

YQY: *always supportive and gives in to every SY whim, also pays for everything*

SQQ: *gifts rare books and pretty fans with a little bit of tough love*

SY: Omg, guys, you're always so supportive of me and I know I can count on you. You're basically like my older brothers.

YQY and SQQ: *coughing blood*

LBH: *smug clutching to SY sleeve* Yuan-ge, this one made your favorite osmantus cakes. *puppy eyes* I hope I'm not intruding.

SY: Oh, thank you, Binghe! *gives headpats* You're the best, just like my little mei-mei.

LBH: *also coughing blood*

When he'd retired he'd told his replacement to keep in touch without ever suspecting the foolish boy would actually do it. So the first letter is a complete surprise.

Shifu,

Mu Qingfang says I need 'an emotional outlet' which is stupid I'm fine. I did have a qi deviation but that doesn't mean anything! He said maybe I should write some things down but I'm not starting a diary. Anyway you said I should keep in touch so here I am, being in touch.

Shen Qingqiu stabilized me during my deviation. Mu-shidi says I probably would have died if he hadn't. I thought he was trying to kill me at first but he wasn't. It doesn't make sense- he only said he was going to kill me every other time we met! Why didn't he strike when I was unable to defend myself?

He said we should put the past behind us, Shifu. That must be a trick right? He can't mean it.

I'm going to find out what he's planning. It must be something.

He punched me really hard Shifu.

-Liu Quigge

Hmm. Fascinating, maybe this new generation wasn't going to be a short one after all... If they made it a few more years the former Qing Jing Peak Lord owed me money. He'd have to figure out how to collect a bet from a god.

Liu Qingge:*feels the shifting spiritual energies of his students sneaking up on him*

Liu Qingge: Hey!

*most of the students flee, one particularly bold one steps into view though*

Liu Qingge: Kssst! *he pulls out a spray bottle*

*the last student scurries off*

SQQ (who came over for tea): ...Shidi has such an interesting relationship with his disciples.

[runicnotation]

SQQ: Ok that's it! *pulls out paper and a brush*

SQQ, narrating his letter out loud: Dear Liu Qingge, please accept Ming Fan into Bai Zhan Peak-

Ming Fan: Shizun no!!

SQQ: As he has decided he knows better than this master he must continue his cultivation elsewhere.

Ming Fan: I'm sorry Shizun!

SQQ: I trust you will be able to handle any further uncouth-

Ming Fan: *gasps*

SQQ: and unfilial -

Ming Fan: *starts crying*

SQQ: behavior. He is good at organizing things perhaps you can put him in charge of the armory.

Ming Fan: *falls to his knees* This disciple was wrong Shizun! Please don't send me away!

SQQ: *folds and seals letter dramatically*

SQQ: *hands it to Ming Fan* take that to the kitchens and burn it- then I don't want to see you again today!

Ming Fan: *sniffling* Yes Shizun. Thank you Shizun! *leaves*

SQQ: Oh hello Shidi I didn't see you there.

LQG, who is just here to show SQQ the weird bug he found on his last mission: Shixiong has such an interesting relationship with his disciples.

i love the idea that shen jiu is absolute demonic catnip (powerful, beautiful, vicious and mean. like sxy, he could have easily captured tlj's heart) and is getting attempted bridenappings every other day (obviously, the demons are lucky if they get to go back alive and empty-handed).

like.... tlj, zzl, lgj, mbj's father, any and all noble demon lords trying to stake a claim on the "icy beauty xiu ya" and yqy is pulling his hair out bc his wife isn't even talking to him anymore, he can't get stolen by someone else!

also imagine shen yuan as the overprotective brother who is like GEGE JUST STOP BEING SO MEAN, OH MY GOD, CAN'T YOU SEE THEY LIKE IT. THEY'RE FREAKS. I JUST RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TIANLANG JUN ASKING FOR YOUR MEASUREMENTS AND A PAIR OF YOUR PANTIES
