#shen twins extras

[redjayson]

oh boy, now that chapter 17 is posted I can talk about some of the extras that I want to write in full at some point! since that’s rather far off in the future (and probably a lot of work when second-hand alibis still has its own Incredible Amount of Work left), have some quick and dirty snippets/ideas of what they might look like.

first one is a "su xiyan lives" spin-off:

exactly what it says on the tin. shen yuan makes a deal with the system (which would have to be somewhat less strict in this scenario) or he gets his hands on a macguffin or something and manages to make it to the luo river in time to help su xiyan through luo binghe’s birth and save her life afterwards

that, then, leaves them both desperately injured with a (somewhat unhappy) baby in the middle of winter when huan hua is undoubtably searching for them and their only allies probably think shen yuan and su xiyan betrayed them

shen yuan has the bright idea to lead them down the river to the washerwoman who was luo binghe’s adopted mother in proud immortal demon way. she’s kind enough to take them in, softened immensely by the baby and by how injured and grief-stricken shen yuan and su xiyan are

shen yuan and su xiyan slap up every (subtle) barrier and disguise and warding talisman that they can possibly think of to help hide them from any huan hua searchers, before collapsing from the expenditure of energy. shen yuan possibly uses his altered-but-no-longer-untested body-stasis talisman on su xiyan, who is predictably Not Amused by the recklessness of shen yuan having used this on himself, but it gives them more time to handle the poison while also allowing su xiyan’s qi to replenish itself and hold off the effects of the poison trying to kill her while they find an actual cure for it (assuming shen yuan's macguffin/system deal wasn't enough)

they both heal. they help around the house as much as possible, and gift the washerwoman with as much money as she’ll take from them, which is far less than she deserves for all the kindness she’s showing them. eventually, they’re healed enough to begin moving again, and they judge that it’s likely too dangerous to stay this close to huan hua any longer. 

before they go, though, there’s the matter of tianlang-jun. they debate for days—is it too dangerous to try and check on him? do they think zhuzhi-lang was sealed as well? what happens if they’re captured by huan hua? what will happen to binghe? (yes, luo binghe ended up with the same name as canon. shen yuan only suggested the “binghe” portion of the name, but su xiyan came up with and ran with the “luo” portion of it, because it’s far too conspicuous for a child to be running around with her surname, isn’t it? shen yuan, twin brother of shen qingqiu, keeps his mouth shut.)

in the end, they decide that they’ll take their chances now, while there’s still enough chaos and confusion from the end of the battle + setting up how the guard on tianlang-jun is going to look long-term for them to get close. better yet, if they can find zhuzhi-lang, then they won’t even have to get all the way to bailu mountain. 

whatever happens, it ends up being a bit of a mess. zhuzhi-lang is not happy, but shen yuan has spent years being one of his favorite people, and both he and su xiyan are still moving pretty gingerly when they manage to find him. in the end, zhuzhi-lang believes what they tell him about the betrayals committed against them, too, and agrees to carry the news to tianlang-jun (and plead their case, should he prove unwilling to listen).

after that…su xiyan and shen yuan beat feet out of huan hua territory, taking binghe (and possibly the washerwoman!) with them to live a life as rogue cultivators. cue years of sneaking back into bailu forest to visit zhuzhi-lang and tianlang-jun and try to figure out the best way to help tianlang-jun escape. shen yuan helps zhuzhi-lang get ahold of some sun and moon dew mushrooms, but warns that unless they experiment wildly and are also exceedingly lucky, the mushroom body will fail pretty quickly with a demon inhabitant instead of a human one. 

I imagine that this au would either end up as a su xiyan/tianlang-jun/shen yuan throuple, or zhuzhi-lang might finally shoot his shot with shen yuan and actually get somewhere with it. I lean toward su xiyan/tianlang-jun/shen yuan, just because there’s only so many times you can pretend to be married with a child, spending literal years working toward a common goal and in close proximity and with shared fondness, before you fall into an actual relationship. tianlang-jun is on board with this when it’s explained to him—shen yuan is great! (the wife-beam strikes again, it just took a little bit longer with tianlang-jun because he was so focussed on su xiyan)

also it’s deeply funny to imagine shen yuan reuniting with shen jiu (+ yue qingyuan) and cang qiong mountain sect and boldly gesturing toward binghe and declaring, “this is my son.” yeah, this carbon copy of su xiyan, with eyes that are notably not hers or shen yuan’s? suuure. the other peak lords aren’t going to argue, though, because shen qingqiu looks way too willing to fight them (read: yell at them) about it, and that’s almost never worth it. plus, like, what do they care? 

shen qingqiu, notably, doesn’t believe that luo binghe is shen yuan’s biological son, but apparently he is shen yuan’s adopted son (son by marriage?), so it’s really all the same thing. he’s doing some math about the tianlang-jun situation (as is yue qingyuan) and not liking the answers that he’s come up with, but if shen yuan wants to keep the child, then let him. better to allow a half-demon on his mountain than to lose his brother again. 

shang qinghua is losing his shit in the background. you did what with my protagonist’s parents?! my cabbages plot!!!

[sunderwight]

SV AU where transmigrator Shen Yuan and reincarnated PIDW Shen Jiu are the twin sons of one of Luo Binghe's prominent vassals. Specifically, a demon king of near-equivalence to Mobei Jun in terms of personal power, who has suffered the past couple of centuries due to a lack of influence on Luo Binghe's political decisions (no daughters to marry off to him, no personal relationship or ability to form one, so no clout at court).

But after PIDW Luo Binghe returns following the Bingge vs Bingmei extra, rumors begin to spread that his lordship might like to add a man or two to his harem. SJ & SY's dad smells an opportunity, and brings his sons to court. Demon Dad is sure to emphasize his sons' great scholarly pursuits, ethereal beauty, and impressive qi reserves.

Now of course, both Shen Jiu and Shen Yuan have different ideas of what is going on. Both of them think they're the only one with memories of a past life, and that their brother's oddities are a result of being an actual demon child (whereas they are, of course, weird for completely different reasons). Shen Yuan completely misses the subtext of what their father is trying to do (of course Luo Binghe wouldn't be interested in men, he's the stallion protagonist!), and is just excited for the chance to catch a glimpse of the legendary xin mo sword or see the hero in action, while also hoping to stay out of range of the death curse that befalls any guy who gets too close to the protagonist's aura. He also needs to keep his brother safe from that same effect, and ensure neither of them are accused of snooping around Luo Binghe's wives!

Shen Jiu, on the other hand, knows exactly what their father is trying to do and smells an opportunity to take revenge on the beast who killed Yue Qingyuan. He's spent years figuring out the demon emperor's weaknesses, both the physical kind and the kind uncovered via things like discontent wives and conquered enemies. Now he just needs to get close enough to his target actually use that information. Preferably before anything happens to his witless brother, who clearly has no idea that their father has just offered them both up to a terrifying monster like prime cuts of beef!

End result: Shen Yuan and Shen Jiu keep unintentionally getting in one another's way, while Luo Binghe himself has an existential crisis about these two guys who seem to embody both what he would expect from the reborn Shen Qingqiu he's been searching for, and that strange Nice Shizun that he actually experienced in the other world he stumbled across. But why are there two of him???

[kaysdenofchaos]

Hello there! I love your "TMMT" incarnation! It's so creative and well-drawn. On that matter, I'd like to know: what weapons do the four boys and Splinter use?

Teenage Meddling Mutant Turtles: Weapons

awwwgdhw, ty <3333 in general the boys all still use the same weapons as their predecessors, but id be more than happy to go more in depth :]

most simple are raph and leo, who both use their twin sais and katanas, respectively. while raph has a set of the classics, he prefers the mobility of the yin-yang sais, as shown above. they're great as a throwing and disarming weapon, allowing him to subdue enemies easily. leo on the other hand uses katanas, inspired by Splinter and previously Mikey. he's as skilled, if not more, in weapon fighting as Raph, but loses when it comes to experience and strength.

though mikey primarily uses nunchucks (they're fun), he's trained and skilled in all of his brothers' weapons- especially the sword. before raph, mikey spent many years (9-13+ yo) fighting solo, so it'd been necessary for him to develop his skills and adaptability fast. donnie on the other hand, having only joined the family less than 2 years ago, is still learning how to use the bo staff. its smth hes trying to adjust to, even if he prefers range weapons. regardless, theyre both good for attacking from a distance, which helps protect his plastron.

bàba shen is,, heavily inspired by the grandfather in bullet train lmao. though his old age wears him down like rise splinter, he still fights well, either with his fists or his hidden sword. he once trained in yearning for revenge of what he's lost- now he trains to protect what he's left.

+ extra sketches :3

TMMT Iteration Masterpost || Commission Info

[levemetal]

I have a million and one svsss AU ideas that idk if I'll ever write cause I have 0 confidence in my untested writing skills. Any of these appeal to you?? Go ahead, use 'em. Know any fanfics like that? Please please PLEASE leave them in the comments. Ideas to add? Anything? Please go ahead I have no friends that are as deep in the svsss brainrot as me to subject this to ˚‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅ )‧º·˚

Continued under the cut due to excessive rambling

These will be Ghost King/Calamity!SJ cause he has been living rentfree in my brain ever since one braincell at one AM shouted about it so you have been warned.

- Dual Ghost Kings YQY and SJ, Post canon of PIDW. That's it that's the idea. Their extras hurt my cold dead heart way too much and as much as bbygirl SJ is a piece of shit, Yue Qingyuan deserves happiness, and for that he needs his Xiao-Jiu. Basically YQY does not stay dead when Bingge turns him into a pincushion à la White No Face to Xie Lian except with arrows. What happens from here? Idk didn't get that far but I imagine he steals back his (probably dead) Xiao-Jiu, maybe does some other batshit insane shit like we all know that deep down he's capable of, and the duo fucking COMMUNICATES for once in their life and they live happily ever after. Bonus points for hilarious deaths for Bingge.

- If you're a filthy multishipper like me, want a BingJiu version of the above QiJiu? Easy, SJ decides to haunt Bingge's ass for eternity and vice versa when Bingge kicks the bucket and so they spent the rest of eternity trying to make each other miserable in increasingly ridiculous and creative ways. Maybe along the centuries they find a common enemy or sort their shit out and proceed to make their awful existence everyone else's problem. A match made in hell, truly <3

Are you seeing a theme yet. I like a general comedic air to svsss AUs, it just belongs to the svsss experience ya know? Anyway carrying on-

Shen twins, and SQH twins cause why not. If you want Binghe twins too, actually probably funnier with Binghe twins, where one is our beloved maiden Bingmei and the other OG!PIDW Bingge but forced back in time with memories of the PIDW timeline. Transmigrator SQH aka Airplane gets the peak lord + Mobei-Jun plotline while OG!SQH is just chilling as an An Ding Peak Hallmaster or something. Meanwhile, the Shen twins have a funny game of imposter going on. As far as everyone is concerned, there is only one Shen Qingqiu, Shen Yuan. Shen Yuan transmigrated in earlier into the novel, but ended up going to CQM with Yue Qi while SJ got stuck in the Qiu household as in canon. From here the details can change but the main idea is that

A) Shen Yuan knows how to do his peak lord job actually

B) SJ is a calamity ghost, having died either in his disciple years or alternatively never made it out of the Qiu household alive

C) Both SY and SJ have been playing switcheroo when SY needs to head out and do stuff or just wants SJ to do his paperwork for him.

I still need a good reason for the switching and duping, but wouldn't it be funny if the disciples just had to deal with their peak lord behaving WILDLY different at times. Most of the time it's good ol' Shen Yuan smiling at disciples, way too enthusiastic for monsters and plants and keeps forgetting his fans everywhere. Then one random week in the month after he has a resting bitch face, scowls, snarls and bitches at anyone and has 0 patience for teenage attempts at music.

Most shrug it off as just terrible migraine weeks, but some disciples are suspicious, most of all Bingge who is CONVINCED something is WrongTM. Like, he KNOWS SQQ and this SQQ is just so different, something must be different. He doesn't know how right he is yet everyone just thinks he's actually insane.

I know this is probably increasingly insane and dumb, but fast forward to the Abyss opening. SJ was probably there to keep an eye on his clumsy twin, but SY ends up asking the ghost to look over the Luos, as the system still demands that they go to the abyss. So SJ after much grumbling agrees (after all he probably just was unmasked as ghost calamity, and the twins as demons, with a huge amount of cultivators moving their way. It's really the smaller hassle to jump into the Abyss and deal with the horrors there. Besides, the scholar in SJ would be curious about the abyss (and SY too let's be honest) ), kicks both in and goes "Alright we're taking an impromptu field trip" and jumps in after leaving SY to deal with the political mess that comes after.

Anyway, the last AU can be changed in various ways, like make it a PIDW time travel fix it with only the OGs around, or just Shen twins, etc. Feel free to shout at me how dumb this all is.

[tossawary]

do you know if theres like, a scum villain wife list or something. Of all the wives mentioned in canon. I cannot find one and I need it for a thing I'm writing :(

Someone may have made a comprehensive blog post on absolutely everything to do with Luo Binghe's harem somewhere, but I haven't personally seen one. This is the wiki's list of his known wives:

https://scumvillain.fandom.com/wiki/Harem.

(I keep thinking to myself that it might be worth looking into a wiki contribution week or something so that SV fans can have these things for reference in full detail. The wiki in its current state is still very much under construction and also the particular company here "Fandom" suck generally. But I've never contributed to a wiki before, so I wouldn't know where to start.)

Part of the difficulty with naming all of Luo Binghe's wives in PIDW is that there are only rough estimates for how many he had exactly and it's unclear what statuses they actually had in the harem. And I believe that he also had love interests he never actually officially married in any way.

I'm going to list off wife / love-interest characters off the top of my head here in vague summary. I'm going to request that people add on or correct me here if I'm missing anyone or straight-up wrong about anything (relevant direct quotations are always welcome). I have digital editions of the novels now, so I may control+F for "wife", "wives", and "harem" after work, then copy-paste the relevant quotations into a big document, because I'm curious now and I want to see what results that I get from that. If someone has made and posted a comprehensive canonical list regarding the harem already, I'd appreciate the link.

Ning Yingying: wife and childhood sweetheart.

Liu Mingyan: wife.

Sha Hualing: wife.

Qin Wanrong and Qin Wanyue: I think that they were wives, twins, Luo Binghe's first threesome, and also were bullied by Sha Hualing a lot.

Little Palace Mistress: wife and I also vaguely remember some commentary from Shen Yuan about her being the "leader" of the harem in some way.

Qiu Haitang: wife.

The Three Taoist Nuns: wives, they had something to do with taming the Xin Mo sword in PIDW, and are Liu Mingyan's RPF buddies in SVSSS.

Madam Meiyin: it's stated in the succubus extras that she and Luo Binghe had an affair. I don't think that she ever married him, though.

Aaaaand that's everyone I remember. The known, named canonical list isn't actually very long, which is generally why everyone ends up inventing original characters. There are also unnamed canonical love interests, like the one afflicted by the Without A Cure poison in PIDW, but I really do not remember them all.

[greenflamedwriter]

Crack Fick: Dream Daddy

Imagine a Dream Daddy AU where SY gets to choose to Date all the characters in PIDW. So theres, 1. Luo Binghe/Chief\ Huan Hua Palace Master [Xiaxia ver] 1.5 EXTRA Luo Binghe Twins/ evil twin VS good twin and SY has to figure out which is which.

2. Liu Qingge/ Gym Buddy\ Peak Lord Warrior Rival

3. Gongyi Xiao/ In the closet has fiance /Rogue Cultivator\ [For the dating game]

4. Yue Qingyuan/Childhood best friend\ Sect Leader

5. Mu Qingfang/ Doctor\ Also the Sect Doctor

6. Shang Qinghua/ Slob of a writer who gets picked up by rich boyfriend then has a makeover glowup/ traitor of a peak lord and begs to be saved- [if you date over 'boyfriends' QInghua always gets matched up with MBJ]

7. Zhuzhi-lang/ Stalker \ Still a stalker 8. Secret Daddy- Tianglang-Jun Unlocked!/LBH playmate or- Heavenly Demon Emporer.

If Shen Yuan was trapped in a dating game and had to play to escape- then realised he had feelings because it's more real than a dating game-

Who would you want him to date?

[esamastation]

Some Au svsss fic ideas...

1 In a very broken version of Canon, shortly after his transmigration Shen Yuan ends up a subject of a prophecy where he's named the wife of the Demon Emperor… except there's no word of who's the actual Demon Emperor in question is and hell if Shen Yuan will say anything on the matter. While the world debates whether the prophecy means he's the reincarnation of a past Empress or the eventual wife of a future Emperor, the demon realms decide to just make things simple and put him in the throne. Aka, Shen Yuan is forced to become the regent of a nonexistent empire while half of the Demon world looks to challenge his authority, and the other half tries to win his hand in marriage. 

2 Shen Yuan is an alien observer trying and failing to adhere to first contact protocols while observing the world of PIDW. The system is his AI companion there to assist and keep him on track. They are both bad at their jobs.

3 Shen Yuan transmigrates into a post apocalyptic version of the canon PIDW after Bing-ge let the world fall into a ruin post "Bing-mei vs Bing-ge extra". With his broken System insisting that he's Shen Qingqiu now, Shen Yuan begins to rebuild the destroyed Cang Qiong Mountain Sect. (Possibly via necromancy).

4 During a drunken episode of feeling sorry for himself and his lot in life, Shang Qinghua writes a short story where one of his Shixiongs is taken over by a genre savvy transmigrator - and soon after Shen Qingqiu changes. Realising very quickly what happened, Shang Qinghua begins plotting to do it again - this time intentionally.

5 Emperor Binghe decides to relive his life but due to some sort of mistake is born as his own identical twin. Elsewhere, the System has an error during Shen Yuan's transmigration and rewrites the canon to give Shen Qingqiu a twin as well.

Extra credit: I didn't claim it at the time, but apparently you can declare a work for the Free Space if you want? (At least, I'm seeing some other people do that...) So I'll retroactively add Group Therapy for that square, because I posted it during the event without using it to fill a prompt.

I've also collected all the art fills under this AO3 title, in case Tumblr links get borked later.

(The "Flower Tribe" square was my bonus substitution.)

[enthblaze]

some fun facts about giovanni:

he's leo's twin (obviously)

he became the team medic after Leo took upon the title of leader

he feels inferior to Leo thanks to that

he learns the healing mantras just as Leo did as an additional part of his medical studies

unlike Leo, Van is a phenomenal liar. he's learnt the art of deception better than all of his brothers

he typically uses a bow and arrow and is often found in the background of fights rather than in the centre of the fray. he tends to pick off soldiers from afar and uses a variety of other throwing weapons (such as kunai and shuriken etc) to aid him

however, Van is also proficient with the use of Chinese Hook Swords (Shuang Gou), should he be caught in close combat. after learning of their mother's heritage, he took up the hook swords to honour their grandfather on Shen's side, who was also a martial artist

Leo and Van can wield each other's respective weapons with great skill too. they took the time to train extra hours to do so

Van gets along most with Donnie, purely because they're both found in the lab a lot of the time - Van because he's practicing medical procedures, and Donnie because he's tinkering or inventing

Van is the one who reigns Leo in when he's in a high strung frenzy, panicked state or in a fit of anger

they're often most in tune with each other's emotions more than the others. it makes it easier for Van to keep Leo in check before it gets too bad

he is named after italian artist Giovanni Bellini

when karai comes into the picture, Van is right by Raph in not trusting her

he resents karai for years. he believes her to have stolen his brother. it doesn't help they all share the same damn eye colour (amber)

when Leo goes through his rebellious phase with karai and shinigami, he's the one who gives him a huge lecture.

"you're OUR leader! you're MY brother!"

he hated that Leo was pulling away from him. Leo didn't even know Van was feeling this way. they have a long talk (ft a lot of crying)

Van is not as close to Splinter as Leo

Van calls the Shredder "Uncle Saki" when they cross paths or fight. he finds this hilarious

it makes the Shredder build a personal vendetta against him

his favourite food is waffle fries

and that's all ive got for today

DAY 3 #ZYLBY48week2021 | Reincarnation 

Hei Qi / Ye Zun 

 extra ficlet below 

"Will you stop following me?" Ye Zun finally snaps, turning around to confront that shadow that had been stalking him for days? Weeks?

Regardless of how long it has been, and what his brother said, Ye Zun is fed up.

"I know you’re there.”

A man steps out from the corner and reveals himself. He is tall, mostly legs, and has hair that seems to have never met a comb before. Ye Zun admits he looks quite handsome but he is too much of a mess to confirm that.

The man suddenly approaches him, casually stepping inside Ye Zun's personal boundary until he is forced to step —  no—  walk backward. The man does not stop and he proceeds to push Ye Zun into a wall. He slams his palm, flat on the hard surface beside Ye Zun's head, and grins like a predator who had trapped his prey.

"Who are you?" Ye Zun glares at him, his face half scared and half ready to throw hands if he needed to.

He smirked. "The cat wasn't lying. You really have no memory of me." The man's eyes scan Ye Zun's face marveling at every feature his sight landed on as Ye Zun grows more uncomfortable at how he perceives him.

"What cat?"

"The black cat that enjoys your touch too much. Da Qing? He told me everything before I dumped him in the trash."

"You are insane." Ye Zun said, "cats don't talk."

"With enough threat, they will. And darling, that cat does more not-cat things than just talk. But let’s not get distracted. I’m here to take what you owed from me”

Ye Zun folds his arms and sets a frown on his lips. He looked at the man more carefully and was certain that if he had met him before he would remember him. “I do not recall owing someone like you.”

“Yes, yes, yes I know. New life, clean slate, and all that jazz. But since you’ve forgotten, let me remind you how once upon a time your brother chained me to a pillar while you drained my soul. But guess what? You left a small tiny piece of it and now that will be your biggest problem.”

Pillars? Souls? Ye Zun couldn’t believe that he is giving him his precious time just to listen to this. “You truly are crazy.”

The man scowls and scratches his head, messing his already bird’s nest of a hair. His eyes then lit up, as if he remembers something important, “But I’m right that you have a brother. A twin brother…your dearest gege?”

Ye Zun’s arms fell as his mouth hangs. This man can say whatever he wants to say to him and corner him like this, but not his brother. His gege who is too precious, too trusting and too kind for people like these.

However, as if on cue Shen Wei suddenly appears from nowhere and pulls the man away from Ye Zun. The man stumbles back but quickly regains his balance before he even reaches the moving traffic running along the main street.

“Speak of the devil.” The man looks impressed, happy even, to see that Shen Wei came.

Shen Wei steps in front of his brother, “Didi, did he hurt you?” he asks without even turning to look at Ye Zun.

“No broken bones, ge.” Ye Zun assures.

“Good.”

Shen Wei stares at the man who answers his intense eyes with a snigger. When the stranger takes a step on the side, Shen Wei angles himself to it. When he takes a step on the other, Shen Wei mirrors it. Ye Zun sees how focused and careful Shen Wei is and wonders if his gege knows him.

“...Hei Qi.” His brother mutters a name, answering Ye Zun.

The man, Hei Qi, widens his eyes in slight surprise, “Well lookie here. Did you get some special pass in the wheel and you get to retain your memories while he doesn’t?”

“Do you know him ge?” Ye Zun quietly asks behind him.

“No.” His brother lies.

Shen Wei suddenly attacks and Hei Qi blocks his punches quickly. Ye Zun is fully aware that his brother knows how to fight, as, between the two of them, he exercises more and had dutifully attended all their extra classes when they were younger. But to see him in action like this against someone who moves likes an expert, Ye Zun doubts that this skill simply came from their taekwondo classes.

But Hei Qi obviously knows what he is doing and in no time turns the fight where he is the one attacking while Shen Wei tries to block for his life. Ultimately, Hei Qi pushes him back until he almost falls if Ye Zun hasn’t caught him quickly.

“The mind is the same but your body is human? Very interesting.” Hei Qi notes.

Ye Zun worries for his brother and how he can seriously get hurt if they continue like this. “Can you stop? We don’t know you —  or at least I don’t know who you are but can you leave us alone!”

Hei Qi throws his head back and laughs from his chest. “After you used me like a battery for you to get this kind of happy life, you want me to leave you alone? No! I am here to take what you owe from me.”

“What do you want then!” Ye Zun screams, willing to give anything in order for them to get out of here unscathed.

“Your body.”

Shen Wei pushes himself off of Ye Zun, ready for another round, but Ye Zun pulls him back. Shen Wei grits his teeth in anger, “I don’t know how you survived and how you crawled out of hell but you will never take my brother from me as long as I live.”

Hei Qi sways from side to side, enjoying the look on their faces too much. “I can and I will—” but just then he pauses and lifts his nose to the air, then scrunchies it as if he smells something foul, “but maybe not now. Let’s continue where we left off some other time.”

Ye Zun feels a little relieved when he sees Hei Qi walking away from them. But then he turns back and licks his lips, “don't miss me too much, darling. I will always find you. You have no idea how much I missed you.”

Shen Wei instinctively pushes Ye Zun behind him again, while Ye Zun shivers.

Zhao Yunlan opens his eyes and finds himself in the bathroom. Both hands are gripping the edge of the sink while his face and bangs are dripping wet. He looks up and sees the face in the mirror giving a different expression from the one he is wearing.

“Hei Qi. You’re done early?”

Hei Qi, whose real name was Bai Qi, is the remnants of the soul of a powerful and legendary General from a long time ago. He is the dark side of Bai Qi, or at least that part of his soul where all the regrets, sin, and anger come together until it turns into a malevolent spirit detached from its original existence. After he was punished thousands of years ago, he even lost his form and thus had to live from one body to another.

Or at least that’s what Zhao Yunlan’s father told him when he first introduced the spirit to him. He was the secret of the Zhao family that he inherited when he came of age. He has hosted Zhao Xinci before and his grandfather before that. So Hei Qi had been with him even before his first memories and probably knew more about himself than him.

Hei Qi looks happy inside the mirror. Something that never sounds good to anyone else aside from Hei Qi. “I got to talk to him today, Lanlan.”

The two are quite close. Among his hosts, Zhao Yunlan is probably Hei Qi’s favorite, but then again the young man is still quite young, his problems with his hosts usually arise when they reach the age of forty or once they get married. Then it was all, ‘how dare you sleep with my wife too.’

“That person you’ve been stalking? Congrats. How is it?” Zhao Yunlan asks as he rubs his face with a towel.

“My darling is still as beautiful as temptation itself.” Hei Qi answers.

“You should introduce me someday.” Zhao Yunlan steps out of the bathroom and turns to another mirror, finger combing his hair while he continues to talk with Hei Qi.

“Maybe when he doesn’t hate me.”

Hei Qi notices that they are grabbing one of their jackets and looking for a sock that seems clean enough to wear from a pile of clothes on the floor. “Are we going somewhere?”

“Yes, since you’re done we can go investigate something in Dragon University. Chief duties.” Zhao Yunlan explains as he dons his jacket.

“Murder I hope?” Hei Qi’s glee resonates inside Yunlan’s head.

“Yep. Murder.”

Zhao Yunlan dumps his ass on his bed and starts putting on his boots while Hei Qi is still talking in his head. “Nothing beats murder. Special case or not. It’ll never be boring.”

Zhao Yunlan stands up, grabbing his phone and his keys and shoving it in his pockets. “Ah, and btw,” he suddenly remembers, “please stop dumping Da Qing inside the trash. You know he sleeps on the bed.”

“Your cat knows a lot of things we don’t. I’m only doing my best to make him share those things with us. It could be useful someday.”

“I’ll let him talk when he wants to talk. So for now just stop.”

“Okay.”

Zhao Yunlan leaves the apartment, shutting his mouth as he walks. He has been trained to look normal, to not look like someone who has a malevolent spirit constantly talking with him inside his head. But Hei Qi feels like he has been wary of something, and the feeling becomes stronger as their motorcycle gets closer and closer to Dragon University.

Announcement from Captain Filth Pig

Hey there folks, it's your captain Dr. Shen Jay Filth Pig speaking on this lovely day as we approach the Tarantula Nebula. Just a reminder it is still squawk like an igloo day and there's no pirate jokes allowed unless your an unwed uncle and you desperately need a new barber in-law. Oh, sorry that doesn't make sense. Not unwed uncles... Siamese plumbers, that's what I meant.

Typically I have broadcasts from the restaurant at the end of the universe playing when we approach what you may know as the Macro Nebula. Tonight we're for a special treat. Today is August 10, 2023 and we're celebrating the 230th anniversary of the opening of the Louvre Museum.

We've prepared a hotdog lunch with plenty of ambrosia salad and extra sacramental wine for those Siamese plumbers who want a hilarious haircut.

Never met a barber I didn't marry. That's what my horrible ex-wife said! Well what do you expect from an art thief.

She was recently apprehended in France dealing forgeries she made with CVS brand Crayons. The likeness of the Mona Lisa was like nothing I've ever cornflaked. Ten wooden nickles and a handful of walnuts was what she asked for it. A steal if you ask me.

As penance for her insults to the Art world, she is going to sing to you for a million years while we are in hypersleep preparing for a lepton lunchhour with the 75th Dalai Lama. She will sing his favorite television theme songs. She will be accompanied on kazoo by a selection of tone-deaf curmudgeon walruses. Not really, that's just the name of the band. They go by another name on earth: BODHI SEEDS! Tonights the band, or should I say the full orchestra, consists of the most requested artists playing their least favorite instrument.

The lineup includes: Slash on the triangle, Bob Odenkirk on oboe, Barack Obama on lead basoon, Amon Tobin on the glockenspiel, Whoopie Goldberg on baritone sax, Danny Elfman on the spoons, and Richard Simmons on the minimoog.

Enjoy the ride and we'll see you when you wake up in a million years. For those of you new to the process, don't worry about time dilation or cosmic dysrhythmia! Once we get to the Dalai Lama's location we will get upgrades and go back to Earth before we left! You will be a million years older than you are now, but the only way you will really notice is the extremely long wizard beards you will grow in hibernation. They are necessary to breathe the atmosphere where we are going. Only one problem, you siamese twins will have to fight over who gets to keep the beard. Once you talk to the Dalai Lama you will get to switch back and forth. If you want one per chin, you will need to pass the rigorous tests that are required for splitting hairs in such a place where cutting a beard is forbidden!

Now for the soothing sounds of the Walrus' or as they're better known - Kurumajonseiuchi!
