#dragon god shen yuan au

[everytimewetouch-dot-mp3]

good morning, today i am thinking about dragon god shen yuan, tea, and rituals, so have a few scattered thoughts on the theme:

every cang qiong peak lord has at least one tea pet fashioned after the sect’s god. for the ones who consider themselves tea connoisseurs (shen qingqiu, qi qingqi, and the presently unnamed lords of the agricultural and engineering peaks), the dragon god tea pet only comes out for ceremonial/ritualistic use, though for those who rarely have gongfu cha, the dragon god is likely the only tea pet they have. when new disciples are admitted, the dragon god tea pet is part of the tea ceremony. pouring tea over it is treated as an offering to him.

cang qiong has a few sect-wide festivals annually. one is a multi-day festival honoring ascended peak lords, with one full day dedicated to the founding lords. there is a temple on the dragon god’s mountain, and during the peak lord festival, the current peak lords bring a small delegation (usually their head or most senior disciple, the eldest member of their peak, and two or three of the innermost inner disciples) to light incense and pray. this ceremony opens and closes with the zui xuan peak lord brewing a large pot of tea, and each member of the group offering the dragon god a cup (by pouring it over him). it’s treated as an invitation for luck and an expression of gratitude for protection from evil.

shen yuan didn’t drink much tea in his first life. he knew how to prepare and serve it properly, mostly for the sake of entertaining his mother’s friends and his father and brothers’ business associates, but he really didn’t drink much on his own

dragon god shen yuan always smells vaguely of the tea that cang qiong’s agricultural peak is famous for—tian gong jasmine tea. it’s near impossible to purchase and rare outsiders have had the occasion to try it. the leaders of the great sects have each tried it, and when lbh becomes ruler of the demon realm, the peace treaty between his empire and cang qiong is finalized over a pot shared between himself and yue qingyuan. it is also, coincidentally, both the tea offered most frequently to shen yuan and his favorite to drink.

because of all the tea offerings while he was hibernating in dragon mode, when the system finally allows shen yuan to wake up properly and attend to his sect, he’s developed a really strong taste for tea. he can distinguish stages of fermentation within two or three days just by taste, and for tea that was grown in the tian gong range he can describe things like the tea’s growing conditions, including weather, soil quality, and spiritual strength of the cultivators who tended to/processed the trees and leaves. shen yuan finds this extremely odd knowledge to just Have

the second-best pot of tea shen yuan has had in 700 years is the one that luo binghe prepares for him when he takes binghe as his personal disciple. the best pot of tea is the one luo binghe prepares for him on their wedding day.

[fwol-jintu]

ah.... the walls can hear.... the statues can see... they all but speak.....

So anyways shen yuan as a religious (he's doing it for points) person that prays to a rly creepy statue of what seems like a strange god (he needs to cuz then his points will get deducted)

His main goal rly is just... Collect Them All, as in like he needs to petrify every beast he comes across using his stone god powers to put the data into his inventory and then uh beastiary cuz yes

So anyways cue ppl finding these randomass statues of animals or beasts or plants and is like they shrug it off at first until.... until they find one of each fucking thing they come across and oh my god is that a petrified Violet Sun Spider-

So uhm yeah do what you will with this au

additional info: shen yuan's character is someone who very much loves their god (system says)

The statue in question can move, but doesnt when sy's looking

Theres more than one statue, but the rest are hidden

The statue is a dragon with a human head and a wide slit mouth, horns tall and proud and uhh 3 eyes

Shen yuan himself is basically a traveller, but like... add creepiness yk

(The system asked sy to scare lbh for fun in exchange for like 50 d-points, the d standing for data)

"the statues, they see it all. They move, and creak... have you ever seen one, the statues which move and creak, Binghe?" (The statue behind sy slowly moves its head to the side as if to stare directly into lbh)

"...unfortunately not...." (freaking out cuz wtf is that thing and why is it so tall and why did it move and is it alive?!)

[shizunitis]

hello, i ended up stalking your blog for like a few hours, you have a fascinating mind and i am slowly acclimating to the terrifying bags of skin and fat that roll tenderly and peacefully through this fandom.

i was wondering if you could provide a list of some of your favorite svsss aus? thank you for your service, and god bless the skin beasts. there is no one on this world who is intolerable by both heaven and earth.

good morning and welcome!

i'm glad you've met the bingcreatures. they're beautiful, plump babies we love dearly. i hope they can bring joy to you, in time.

also, i'm going to not think about what my blog looks like from an outside perspective. please forgive, just. so much. or you're welcome? my interpretation of your opinion of me hinges entirely on how much thought you're willing to put into shizun's ankles and bingge's whole thing, which i won't ask about.

i didn't have a lot of time to compile a list even approaching comprehensive, but! i did my best to think! i'm in the middle of my christmas-themed lying down and thinking time, which is taking a lot of energy. hyperlinks included, because i'm so great at technology, you're so impressed.

from tumblr users:

first post to the asshole roommate binghe au by allpiesofourown

first post to a wonderful dragons au by sinn-bee (nsfw sketches)

part 1-2 to bingyuan reverse transmigration au by piooojo, which i've been in love with since i first saw it last year and i really really love a lot

AU fics on ao3 i quickly grabbed from my bookmarks:

(with my bookmarker's notes because they're my favourite passages ever)

bingqiu ballet au, “songs of a wayfarer” by foxflowering

Shen Yuan, Binghe wrote, a secret in the margins of some dilapidated English workbook, is very beautiful. He’s so beautiful, I don’t know what to do with myself.

bing-ge stuck in bingqiu’s reality replacing bingmei for a bit au, feat. exasperated shizun, “benign deviations” by benwisehart

“I would never leave you alone here with the likes of me.” “So you admit, then, that you’re a menace,” Shen Qingqiu said in an exasperated tone. “That was never in doubt,” Luo Binghe said, stretching.

binghe passing the time until shen yuan is reborn, feat. sigmund freud, “but until then, tragedy” by tshirt

"He was-- he is everything to me." "Including..." Dr. Freud paused a moment. "Mother?"

(could be considered canon divergence, but that's a kind of au, and i do what i want)

tianlang-jun lives just long enough for binghe to see him die and swear vengeance on yue qingyuan for it au, “forgiveness is beyond our reach” by anonymous user

“Although his attitude might be harsh sometimes, he’s ultimately a good child,” said Yue Qingyuan’s voice softly. “Is he, now,” said Shen Qingqiu’s voice coldly.

bingge comes sniffing around shen qingqiu’s peak while bunhe is yet to be abyss’d, “through the eye of a needle” by funeralstrut

Luo Binghe, what do you want from me?

(my forever favourite. im so normal about it i promise i swear i make normal human noises whenever i think about it and don't just whine pathetically towards the sky)

and of course this list ends with my shizun becomes the human emperor of the demon realm au, which i put so much time and effort into and have posted just, sooooooo much about. it should be your favourite. please. im desperate

i hope you find something to your tastes here!! i'm terrible at compiling things, but i did try my best. maybe. it's the end of the year; all my energy was left in august, when the sky had light and everything was less suck-y. at least we still have shizun...

if for each bit of gladness by millepertuis

The dream is reluctant to let go of him, a strange double vision of the closed door lingering. His knees hurt, from kneeling in the snow. Wei Wuxian has not knelt in the snow in years and years. His teeth are chattering, even though he was hot enough to kick off the cover in the night, even though his husband is still there around him to keep him warm. He was waiting for something.

“A-Yuan,” he says, carefully, “did—did you make the flowers grow like this?”

A-Yuan shakes his head in exasperation. “Baba, I said. Doctor Flowers did it.”

“Doctor Flowers,” Lan Zhan repeats, pointing at the tiny plum tree, just to confirm that his son is suggesting a magical tree named Doctor Flowers sprouted overnight and made their tame family project turn into a verdant jungle.   A-Yuan nods. “Doctor Flowers,” he confirms. “He’s funny! I like him.”

A mysterious garden blooms on Lan Zhan's rooftop. His internet forum pen pal gives great gardening advice but never seems to sleep. The man who works at the florist, who keeps reviving the plants that Lan Zhan can't seem to keep alive, has a beautiful smile.

this point of pale light by Tossawary

(mature)

A Science Fiction / Space Opera AU.

Peak Master Shen Qingqiu holds his past and his present separate, and his secrets close to his chest, but his worlds collide when his past comes back to haunt him. He finds himself unwillingly brought back to a moon he thought that he'd left behind forever a long time ago, in a part of the galaxy far, far away from anyone who might come for him.

We Are Not Wise by Boomchick, Suzoomie

When Shen Qingqiu drew Shen Yuan’s soul sword, it felt like being burned from the inside out. The fire wasn’t cruel, but it was still fire—hot and destructive, searing the softest pieces of him.

When Binghe’s fingers touch the hilt, he is ready for pain.

-

Transmigrated into a version of Proud Immortal Demon Way where cultivators manifest their own souls into spiritual weapons, Shen Yuan finds himself sort of kind of…accidentally blackmailing Shen Qingqiu into taking him on as a disciple before Luo Binghe joins the sect.

That should give Shen Yuan plenty of opportunities to make sure nothing goes wrong for his favorite protagonist, right? RIGHT!?

A story of twists, turns, hope, despair, and soul swords. Written for the Bingqiu Reverse Minibang 2023, illustrated and conceptualized by the incredible Suzu!

Cold Hands, Warm Heart by Zizzani

“If the body can’t warm up, then things get uh, b-bad?”

Mobei-jun cuts him a look that’s made for slaughter. “What does that mean?”

“A-ah, it’s called hypothermia, my king.”

“And you die once it happens.”

Again, not a question. “You can.” When Mobei-jun makes an absolutely terrifying face, Shang Qinghua hastens to add, “But not instantly! Y-you can actually recover from it, if the hypothermia doesn’t progress too far.”

“How far?” Mobei-jun growls.

“There are f-f-f-five stages,” Shang Qinghua shivers out, lips numb. “The fifth stage is death.”

-

Shang Qinghua and Mobei-jun have their spiritual powers sealed before getting dumped in a white-out snowstorm. Mobei-jun quickly learns that humans are far more susceptible to the cold than he thought.

[doddily]

have tiny art block but here's a few sketches of the au. i was thinking of having mu qing be kurama in this au, only because the plan i have makes it work. originally, i wanted to have mu qing and feng xin be the shrine spirits but i want them to have bigger roles instead. here's a few ideas i'm thinking, especially if i do a mxtx crossover:

nanami - xie lian

tomoe - hua cheng

kurama - mu qing

mizuki - lang qingqiu

himemiko - luo binghe

kotaro - shen yuan

dragon king - wei wuxian

otahiko - shi qingxuan

i plan to keep who mikage is a secret cause i wanna make maybe a little comic in the future. i STRUGGLED about who mizuki would be for it to make sense, and i mean w lang qingqiu's relationship w xie lian and his hatred for hua cheng, it only makes sense for him to be mizuki since him and tomoe butt heads over nanami. kurama!mu qing i have semi plans for, theres just one little issue i need to think of. and yes, feng xin does have a role in this, it just so happens though his character appears a little later in the manga but he fits him perfectly, especially w kurama's character hehe... obviously, shi qingxuan has to be the wind god otahiko, especially w how flamboyant they are. originally, i wanted qingxuan to be himemiko for the fact of he xuan or even he xuan as himemiko, but i need he xuan for someone else... and if i do a mxtx crossover, i can make it work somewhat. i will be working beefleaf and fengqing into this au, no worries. it'll just be taking a bit of tweaking, just like how wwx is literally the dragon king just for this to work, and he'll have lan zhan too. but this is a hualian focused au, or them center stage w a tgcf focused background. im not covering himemiko, that's obvious why luo binghe is her if you know the plot haha.

im working on something else too, that im not really talking about it so i had worked on that instead of the au and then i got bored and wanted to draw tomoe!hc. xie lian gives me art block, im not comfortable drawing him really yet, so mq was next best. plus i wanted to show him off.

SVSSS Fic Recs

I'm working on a podfic list. But here, have a couple of Scum Villian recs in the mean time. All BingQui, mostly rated E. This is a fun fandom, there is so much potential for both extreme angst and extreme crack, often at the same time.

Every Binghe/ge deserves a Happy Ending [buy one SY, get one free] by Shireyaki

You can have a Shen Yuan YOU can have a Shen Yuan WE ALL CAN HAVE A SHEN YUAN

Scum Villain AUs by Feynite

Various random alternate universe fics.

Includes:

Supervillain AU Genderswap AU Hades & Persephone AU Dragon Monster AU Mermay AU Free Guy AU

& Many More!

Into the Abyss by esama

In which Shen Yuan pisses the System off and it sends him straight into the Endless Abyss.

Four years later, Shen Qingqiu does the same to Luo Binghe.

Fruiting Body by Calamity Butterfly (Calamity_Butterfly)

“A new body? What has my Shizun done?” Luo Binghe asks mildly.

“Oh, I died again, didn’t I? This time, I died saving you from a qi deviation brought on by that sword,” Shen Qingqiu answers, stroking the caps of the trembling mushrooms still pressed up against his sides. “I suspected I was going to die so I prepared a new body, just in case. But it’s taking a long time to remember myself, and I’m not sure I want to go back once I do.”

Shen Qingqiu awakens in the Sun and Moon Dew Flower body, more fungal than human, and networked into a vast, sentient mycelial network. His new body is more complicated than he anticipated. Luo Binghe finds him, and that is also more complicated than he anticipated.

The Many Trials and Tribulations of Ming Fan by The Feels Whale (miscellea)

Ming Fan just wants to get through ONE supervised night hunt without this happening.

Or: the one where Shen Qingqiu continues to be attractive to people who aren’t Luo Binghe and Liu Qingge. It's a problem.

“Da-shixiong.” Ning-shimei’s groan was barely audible to anyone who didn’t have a cultivator’s enhanced senses. To him and the rest of their assembled siblings, though, it rang out like a bell. The only one who didn’t notice was Shizun. He was up ahead and deep in conversation with the Lord who’d summoned them to investigate a series of local disappearances.

“I saw,” Ming Fan sighed. “Eyes front. Everyone knows their roles.”

Frankly, he’d been braced for this moment since he’d asked around about the family hosting them for the duration of this investigation. He’d discovered that they had two marriage-aged daughters in the household, neither of whom were engaged.

Loaded God Complex, Cock It And Pull It by Camorra

There were three things of which Shen Yuan was absolutely certain. The first, that Luo Binghe was an irredeemable jackass. The second, there was a part of Luo Binghe, and Shen Yuan didn't know how large, that wanted Shen Yuan dead for trussing him like a pig and dumping him on his own front porch. And the third, that Shen Yuan was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with Luo Binghe. P S Y C H !

omg they were roommates by smellslikecitrus

Shen Yuan was a normal chemistry major. What did he do to deserve getting booted into his least-favorite novel?!

Silver lining: Binghe makes really, really good food.

Plastromancy by x_los

"One night, Luo Binghe notices something odd about the way his blood is pooling on the floor of the woodshed."

A twelve year old Luo Binghe meets his Other Shizun.

AQ by x_los

Before he rose to captaincy, Shen Yuan attended a briefing given to all command level officers in Star Fleet that outlined the scope of the Q threat. According to Admiral Picard's report, the omnipotent Q are devious, amoral, unreliable, irresponsible and definitely not to be trusted.

Orphaned stowaway Luo Binghe doesn't even know he is one.

Living With a Tiger by x_los

Shen Yuan has been engaged to Emperor Luo Binghe from almost the hour of his birth. He grows up knowing his place in the world exactly; he is far less certain of his place in his betrothed's guarded affections.

Scum Villain's Accidental Romance System by BurnerAccount

Shen Qingqiu has accepted that yes, this is a novel. And yes, it is going to have stupid plot points that he can (probably) do nothing about. His inevitable, horrible fate is his most probable future - but hey, it's at least a ways off yet, right?

A Stallion novel has stupid tropes, but he's 100% - no, 1000% sure, that these aren't in the standard package.

Anyways, Stan Shen Qingqiu by x_los

Millennial vs Gen Z? Shen Qingqiu wishes.

A young transmigrator has a new idol; Shen Qingqiu is very tired.

I Wish You Were My Husband by Feynite

AU based on The Dreamer in the Spring Boudoir (familiarity with that story's not required).

Wherein Shen Yuan transmigrates into a harem intrigues romance novel (gay edition), Yue Qingyuan really fucks up, Liu Qingge is not suitable for his job, and no one even remotely sees Luo Binghe coming.

Always the Light Falls by Letters2Elvinscend

Growing up is hard. Living up to your mother's expectations is harder. Realizing your Shizun is actually kind of hot is damn near impossible.

System Temporarily Unavailable, Please Don't Abuse The Substitute! by Asymptotical

The System has to go bail another System's world out of a plot crisis.

It told them that its Host would notice, but did they listen? Of course not.

We Never Dreamed These Walls by straightforwardly

When Luo Binghe falls into the Endless Abyss, he accidentally pulls Shen Qingqiu down with him.

[captainsupernoodle]

weekend reading

i think this list should be called "fics that clobbered me over the head recently." lots of feels and a healthy service of angst ahead, although all good endings.

take care by cerusee - mdzs

Jin Ling really doesn't know that much about his parents. Jiujiu never talks about them, and half of what Jin Ling thinks he knows about all that stuff that happened when he was a baby has turned out to be a pack of lies. It's a little weird, that his best source of stories about his mom turns out to be the man who was supposed to have killed her...but you know what, Jin Ling will take it.Jin Ling and Wei Wuxian, bonding over family history.

Luffy finds a dragon at the bottom of Sanji's teapot and Sanji won't tell him he sees only the wet tangle of black leaves in a halfhearted swirl.

delicacy by irrelevancy - svsss

“Master Shen must have sent this servant’s robes out to wash.” The words were carefully chosen to hint at the filthy truth—why would a rich man send a servant boy’s robes out to wash and leave him naked in the bedchambers?

“What?”

or; LQG finds deaged!SJ on Qing Jing Peak. Misunderstanding ensues.

(Shen Yuan Might Die Often but His) Old Habits Die Hard by molihuamilktea - svsss

When Luo Binghe asks about his spiritual veins in the Holy Mausoleum, Shen Yuan's chest feels so funny that a lifetime of being chronically ill and reassuring his loved ones that, actually, he's fine kicks in. It is fine, really, because every problem in Airplane-bro's world can be solved by something that's penciled regularly into Shen Yuan's schedule at least eight times a week now.

I will not go into more details due to the graphic nature of the game itself. But think of this as a Dark Xingchen au.

Nie Mingjue

Modern - Includes -> Professor | Business Man | Idol

Lan Xichen

Modern - Includes -> College | Model

Dragon - The mighty dragons of Gusu lived for thousands of years until a war set their Cloud Recesses ablaze and nearly all of the dragons were slain. Xichen, his brother, and a handful of others survived and are trying to rebuild what was lost.

Elf - Think Lord of the Rings type of elvans, graceful, beautiful.

Dark! - Post-Canon, Xichen spiraling into the darkness and takes Wuxian's manuscripts and well we all know how well that will go.

Lan Wangji

Modern - Open to anything including College | Idol ect

Dragon - Works alongside Xichen's Dragon verse

Elf - Again it's tied to Xichen's Elf verse.

Luo Binghe

Dark! ** - This is the original Binghe route, no Mr.nice guy (unless you were nice to him then he'll be nice to you) and has a deep “hatred” for Shen Qingqiu (Shen Jiu, Shen Yuan he has a tendency to have a change of hearts).

Reverse - Instead of Shen Qingqiu going to the world of Proud Immortal Way, what if Binghe is sent to the modern world?

Hua Cheng

Demon ** - He is the Lord of Purgatory, a kingdom of monsters and all that is lost.

Mafia - He owns an underground club named The Ghost City and deals his business there, above ground no one would think he was one of the four famous bosses.

Chu Wanning

Cat!God - Living in a realm between worlds, Red Lotus Pavillion he once watched over the human race yet, he was slowly forgotten and his home can only be found by those that truly want to see him. ( The lonely and the forgotten). There's a second branch where he ventures out of his realm and gets injured and can't return home/can't shift into his human form.

Zhou Zishu

Modern - He is the sole heir to the Four Seasons Manor, a very famous and powerful tycoon known around the world. (Rivals The H/iltons for example)

Mermaid

cang qiong dragon god shen yuan is probably like so old that time doesn’t have meaning? like he transmigrated into pidw as a dragon and and the system gave him a few missions that functionally amounted to ‘claim this mountain range as your territory and defend it from demons’

sy didn’t realize that he was actually laying the foundation for cang qiong mountain sect before its creation. some terrifying demon demigod (one of the first heavenly demons, maybe?) pursues a band of cultivators to his mountain range, and he protects them. they settle his mountains and start cultivating, and because they’re protected by a literal god (who they call lord canglong, and they name the mountains after him) people want to study there.

so cqms is born, and sy takes a nap. when he wakes up, those cultivators he saved bring another group of cultivators, all named 'wen' to his mountain, and they ask his permission to lead the peaks next. another nap, and he wakes up to the wen generation asking his blessing for the ming generation, so on and so forth up until the qing generation. this time he recognizes names: qingge, qingfang, qingqi. this generation's leader, qingyuan. and the one whose bow is shallow and perfunctory, qingqiu. ofc sy isn't super pressed about standing on ceremony or whatever—he's only experienced like six years in this world, and most of them were spent either establishing the mountain as his territory or helping his little cultivators fight off some world-ending cataclysm or other. but he remembers the scum villain’s name, and he’s not a huge fan of the way sqq’s already proving himself to be an arrogant old shit

just like every other time, after he’s met and blessed this generation of peak lords, shen yuan falls asleep. shit!!! he meant to stay awake this time, but the system putting him to sleep is just too powerful! he’s probably missed luo binghe, damnit!!! what’s the point of transmigrating into this shitty novel if he doesn’t even get to meet the only character worth the pixels it took to type him into existence??

but as soon as he sees that fluffy-haired boy curled up in one of his caves, bruised and weeping and wondering what he’s done to be so universally hated, shen yuan knows. that’s his protagonist, and he’s really too pathetic like this. he’s really just a child. and shen yuan might have been easily annoyed by the concept of kids in his first life, but this isn’t just some whiny kid. this is the protagonist. so he does his best to calm tiny lord luo down.

and at first when lbh realizes it’s the fucking dragon god canglong speaking to him, the poor kid falls on his face kowtowing and apologizing for the intrusion, but lord canglong just…asks him what’s wrong. and then listens. and then he allows binghe to…to touch his hand???? not only that, he pats binghe’s head?? and tells him it isn’t his fault??? that one little head-pat is filled with so much spiritual power that binghe almost passes out, and soon after he recovers, lord canglong sends him back down the mountain with a renewed sense of purpose. lord canglong said binghe wasn’t stupid, wasn’t incompetent, wasn’t a failure, and binghe was determined to prove himself worthy of the sect’s guardian deity’s kindness.

and when luo binghe turns to walk down the mountain back to qing jing peak, that google translate voice pipes up in shen yuan’s ear with an update he hadn’t realized he was waiting for.

[Congratulations! Congratulations! Congratulations! Important things must be said three times! USER_002 has completed the quest {From the Ground Up}! B-points +500 USER_002 has initiated the quest {Master of Masters}! New skill [Shapeshifter] has been unlocked! Would USER_002 like to activate [Shapeshifter] now?]

shen yuan slammed the bright glowing [YES] faster than any quest the system had ever given him. that’s how he learned that he was, in fact, just naked in front of luo binghe, and the [Shapeshifter] skill didn’t come with an auto-clothed setting. thank fuck he’d already sent the protagonist away!

❤️Demonic Cultivator's Blessing, or: Curse of the Bunny Gods by FayJay

❤️ Demonic Cultivator's Blessing, or: Curse of the Bunny Gods

by FayJay

E, 25k, wangxian, sangcheng

Summary:  Written for the Reverse Big Bang Challenge, to illustrate the beautiful art work below, by Saph0000 (qr-sa on tumblr).

Her prompt was to write something about WWX and LWJ ascending to become deities; I took the liberty of slightly crossing over MDZS with Heaven Official's Blessing for the worldbuilding, and set myself the goal of bringing a smile to the faces of Jiang Cheng and Lan Xichen.

So: a story in which the newly-ascended bunny gods set out to give Jiang Cheng's love life a boost, and find a way of cheering up Lan Xichen along the way.

My comments:  Ah, me, this was just as thoroughly delightful for the second read! Great story that focuses on our newly promoted gods trying to find Jiang Cheng someone to make him less lonely (since Jin Ling made a prayer). Wwx throws women at him left and right, and of course, JC just fucks it up over and over. (Except the one older woman who "takes him in hand" and expands his world, just as a freebie. POV everyone, basically, from gods to letter-writing Juniors to JC himself.

Excerpt 1:  “Lan Zhan, the bunnies are experts in papapa. Experts. This is why there are so many of them. Although admittedly some of them can’t make baby bunnies together, no matter how enthusiastically they try, because they don’t have the right equipment - but none of them are sad lonely bachelors, Lan Zhan! We don’t need to protect their virgin ears.”

Excerpt 2:  “That’s what I said. And people are worshipping A Yuan’s dads as the Bunny God of Cut-sleeves now.”

Jin Ling spits his entire mouthful of wine all over his robe. Wen Ning pounds him earnestly on the back, and Jin Ling is so distracted that he forgets that he and Wen Ning are sworn enemies. (He forgets this a lot around the Lan Sect Juniors, to be honest, and only remembers when he’s around his Uncle Jiang Cheng.)

“They what?” he says. “The village women were praying to them for loyal husbands before!”

“Well...they may still be doing that? But now so are the village men. They’ve started praying to them as Tu Er Shen.”

“A Yuan?!”

Lan Sizhui shrugs apologetically. “Apparently this is a thing that has happened. You know how people get confused about things, and gossip spreads easily?”

“But...they are martial gods!” protests Jin Ling. “Great fighters! They didn’t just ascend because of...papapa!”

Lan Sizhui bites his lip. He is trying not to smile; Jin Ling looks so outraged on behalf of Lan Sizhui’s fathers.

“Not just because of that, certainly,” he agrees. “They defeated a mighty dragon! But...they also did an awful lot of, um, dual cultivation, Jin Ling, in order to help Wei Ying develop the golden core in that body.” Jin Ling stares, and Lan Sizhui blushes. “I mean. An awful, awful lot.”

“It was very...educational,” says Lan Jingyi, with a somewhat harrowed look. He swallows. “Hanguang-Jun is clearly…uh...very thorough. And Wei Wuxian clearly has...great stamina. And lung capacity.”

“So loud,” says Wen Ning, shaking his head sadly.

“For many hours,” agrees Lan Jangyi.

“Every day,” they both say at once, looking pained.

“They were building Wei Wuxian’s golden core,” Lan Sizhui repeats, his blush deepening. “They had to make up for lost time.”

Lan Jingyi rolls his eyes. “Don’t tell me they were just doing all that papapa to develop Wei Wuxian’s golden core, Lan Sizhui. They did it in the library. And the cold spring. And on night hunts. And up a tree, that time. I don’t want to even think about it.”

“But…” Jin Ling’s eyes dart around the circle, but even the Ghost General is nodding. “...up a tree?”

“The bunnies are an apt symbol for many reasons,” says Lan Sizhui, in a stifled voice. “So it makes sense, really, that cut-sleeves are praying to them now.”

christ more dragon god sy yapping:

all those b-points he got from finishing that first quest? gone. my mans got like 100 every time he blessed a new generation of peak lords, plus the 500 he got from finishing that first main quest {From the Ground Up}, plus whatever he got from fighting off all those beasties who tried to kill his little cultivators way back when.

but when he unlocks his human form, he does not unlock clothes, and he has to buy them from the system store! truly unfair! he looks pretty similar to how he looked in his first life, just a little less sickly. he also has to buy a sword from the system, which is frankly bullshit. but lanrui is a lovely sword—an almost pearlescent sheen to the blade, with peach blossoms inlaid in the hilt and a dragon scale sheath that…it’s almost certainly made from his scales, actually. weird. after buying everything he needs from the bullshit system’s scam shop, he’s left with about 150 B-points.

after his magical girl transformation from gigantic dragon god to gangly human wrapped in way too many layers of sumptuous green and blue silks, shen yuan is sent off the mountain on a couple of missions from the system. pop into the demon realm to slay this evil, fend off these fierce corpses attacking this little town—tutorial shit. it’s weird having such a small body again after six (or seven hundred???? he’s not thinking about the enormity of time right now) years as a gigantic dragon. his steps feel a thousand times lighter, and the first time he tries to pick a fruit from a tree, he kind of explodes it with spiritual energy. the tutorial is, unfortunately, necessary.

the system is almost helpful when it shares his stats and all his cool dragon skills. his official name here is lord canglong, but honestly it would be so hard to explore this world if people were falling all over themselves when they heard his names. did dragon gods get personal names before courtesy too? fighting with the system gets him a corny, half-assed compromise.

he still gets to be shen yuan, but while his first life’s yuan was 垣 yuán (wall), in his second life it’s 愿 yuàn (desire, hope), and the shen he has is… very transparently 神, shén (god, deity). he’s got stupid amounts of spiritual energy, he doesn’t need to eat or drink, and sometimes plants bloom around him since he’s the also kind of the god of springtime?

right when he gets excited thinking about how he’s a god!! (the dragon god in PIDW!! that bastardization of qinglong that airplane wrote who never did shit to defend the realms until his mountain was being destroyed by binghe merging them!!) the system butts in to remind him that there are limitations. he can’t kill humans except in certain circumstances or else he’ll be punished, which—fine, he didn’t plan to go around murdering people anyway? his dragon form will be locked whenever he’s not on canglong peak (bullshit!! what kind of half assed nerfing—) and there’s a permanent penalty on his account, [Dragon Ex Machina], that threatens to penalize him if he uses his dragon god powers to bully the plot into going his way.

so what’s the point of being a dragon god, then!?!??!?!

he spends days bickering debating with the system while he learns to use his sword and qi without exploding whatever he touches, but the system refuses to budge. if he tries to bully the plot too much, he’ll be punished. it’s bullshit, but so is this whole novel he’s found himself in, so…

shen yuan is ready to spend a few more days acclimating before he gets a game plan together but that flies out the window when something starts burning at the back of his mind, screaming that something’s wrong, something is in danger, part of his territory is threatened. he hasn’t felt that since the last demon invasion, and before he can stop himself, he’s mounted lanrui and darted off toward that feeling that something is wrong, wrong, wrong.

he ends up having blown in a wall of qing jing’s discipline hall, the tail of shen qingqiu’s whip caught in his fist (and fuck, that hurt to catch!!! his hand is definitely bleeding) as he stares down the man who was really just about to start whipping a child. a couple of disciples have gone white; a couple others have fallen over. the only ones in the room unaffected are shen yuan, luo binghe whose eyes are wide as he gazes up at him, and fucking scum villain extraordinaire, shen qingqiu. and the scum villain’s first words to him, lord canglong, dragon god of qing jing peak???

“move, or i’ll beat you too.”

[everytimewetouch-dot-mp3]

disciple luo binghe climbing dragon god sy’s peak after sqq throws his little temper tantrum abt not being allowed to abuse binghe anymore. luo binghe curling up in this massive dragon god’s coils.

this dragon who claimed this mountain long before cultivators settled it, who has more claim to the sect than the sect leader himself, who is the actual god of the cang qiong mountains—

this great god called binghe gifted, clever, capable. this god looked at sqq and said he was afraid of luo binghe’s potential. it seems ridiculous to luo binghe; he’s made no progress with his cultivation since arriving. shen qingqiu took one look at him and knew he was worthless, but their sect’s god looked at him and decided the opposite.

it’s a lot for binghe to process. a part of him is waiting for lord canglong to turn and say it was all a joke and binghe’s a fool for believing there could possibly anything worthy about him. but instead he vanishes back to his peak just as swiftly as he came, and when luo binghe arrives he’s in his dragon form again.

and he pats luo binghe’s head.

maybe it’s because he doesn’t really understand lord canglong’s expression when he’s like this, but luo binghe finds himself weeping. and when he cries, lord canglong guides him to rest on his serpentine body and curls around him like—like binghe’s something to protect, something precious. when was the last time anyone protected him?

luo binghe cries himself to sleep curled up against shen yuan. his heart aches for the little protagonist. this poor kid. yeah, he’ll grow up to be a badass demon lord with more wives in his harem than the stars in the sky; but right now, he’s just a kid.

these are his mountains, even if he’s been asleep for most of the past 700 years. they’re still his territory, and the sect is made of his cultivators; didn’t they swear themselves to him or something when this generation ascended, just like the last seven generations? now that he’s awake, shen yuan is going to make sure his mountains survive. shielding luo binghe from shen qingqiu’s cruelty is just step one, right?

[Quest {Master of Masters} at 2% progress! USER_002, please continue your efforts!!]

[everytimewetouch-dot-mp3]

what if shen yuan were a dragon venerated by cqms who lived like on the highest peak? and one day binghe ran away from qjp after a particularly nasty beating, and he didn’t realize he’d stumbled onto elder dragon’s extremely forbidden ‘no-disciples-allowed, sect leaders can visit once in a generation’ peak (maybe he’s like. heavily inspired by canglong since it’s the same ‘cang’ as cq mountain—蒼龍 and 蒼穹山—we could say that’s where the mountain range gets its name）

so binghe accidentally climbs sy’s peak (who could accidentally climb a mountain but the protagonist?!!) and sy hears this poor kid crying that he doesn’t know what’s wrong with him or whatever and he realizes !!! this is luo binghe!! finally!! so he does what any self respecting legendary dragon would do

he places a ward on binghe or whatever, and the next time sqq goes to hit him, the strike never connects and the symbol of lord dragon dude glows in front of him. binghe is officially off limits. also this peerlessly elegant cultivator comes down the mountain straight to wherever sqq’s about to whip binghe, and he looks pissed
