Cheongmyeong wears his green ribbon to tie his hair.

...... in the light novel, the game collab’, in the PV and finally the webtoon!

- In past: He wore it until his death.

- After 100 years: At the beginning of the work, he did not even have the means to tie his hair, being a young beggar. His financial situation, like Mount Hua, would surely prevent him from obtaining one of them.

- Then after two years: He wears a green ribbon. Again.

- And finally 3 years later: the dark green of the Tang family remains by his side.

-----------

I recently learned that the color green * often represents healing, happiness, friendship and health in China. Symbol of spring, it recalls growth and rebirth, which translates into a new beginning.

Friendship [...] 😭

Apparently, although green clothing (ribbon too) is welcome, hats are not. Wearing green hat = one’s partner unfaithful.

In dynasty Tang (618 – 907) wearing green headcloth was a penalty for people who has commited crimes. Centuries later, in the Yuan (1271-1368) and Ming (1368-1644) dynasty, some greens were intended for prostitutes and their relatives.

Honorable green:

Light green, crab shell cyan (Xi ke Qing) = for pottery

Green bamboo (Zhu Qing) = loyal, gentleman, elegant, straightforward

Green jasper (Bi Yu Shi) = decency

Green Jade (Yu Se) = virtue, honor

Green Cyan (Qing Se) = wood, hope, forest [like King forest’s clothes: Lim Sobyeong]

Scallion green (Cong lv)= greens, vigorous plants

Spoiler!!!!! 🚧🚨

Tang Bo: (light novel, first mention: chapter 189 and first appearance: chapter 197, flashback)

Tang Bo [당보]:

- According to the Q&A, he was about 5~6 years younger than Cheongmyeong (Plum Blossom Sword Saint)

- He was an elder of the Tang family 100 years ago

- Died during the war against the Heavenly Demon Sect (~ 76 years old)

- Specialty: dagger, poison, medicine

- Region: Sichuan

- [not yet represented in the webtoon]

- He was an absolute master of his time who was given the title of Dark Saint / Dark Master

- Cheongmyeong's only true friend

- Dague Specialty: Twelve Flying Blades

- He likes to smoke and drink alcohol

- He's a cheeky guy with a way of scratching people's insides.

- He's beaten to a pulp every time by Cheongmyeong, but he had a temper (obviously, he’s mad dog’s friend)

- He has no direct descendants

- he called Cheongmyeong: hyung-nim

*(the meaning of this color is quite similar in Korea) ^^

Tang bo return au inspired by ge's and azu1as Tangchung arranged marriage au

Something Something happens and chung myung ends up needing to be (faked) married for a short awhile so the tang family offers the hand of a distant tang cousin who's been making waves in the cultivation world and getting stronger during the last 3 years (*note that this is after cm is 21 ) who seems to REALLY hate the demonic cult and the great sects who won't meet each other until the wedding day

Now on the outsider pov we have people up and down making sure everything is doing good on said wedding night , and it is ..... except for the fact that said wedding grooms seem to be late for THEIR OWN WEDDING

Thankfully the mount hua disciplines see their youngest coming, not so Thankfully he's coming covered in blood dragging a (dead or unconscious ? ) demonic cult member and all of you are worrying about the poor groom who doesn't deserve to be tied down to this heart attack inducing menace ,except the groom ALSO Shows up covered in blood dragging a (also dead or unconscious ?! ) body without a care in the world, then all of you see your youngest FREEZE at the site of him as if he saw the dead coming back to life he did

And the tang groom freezes too and whispers in awe and confusion " taoist hyung-nime!? "

The crazy bastards proceed to drop the bodies and launch at each other with desperation

And all of you are hit with a horrible gut feeling that this isn't going to be a "fake" wedding after all .

Return of the blossoming blade by LICO & Biga

[ge]

i keep seeing people getting a little confused about the titles and terms used in rotbb so i thought id make a quick little guide on the more common titles and pre/suffixes used in the novel/manhwa

for minor context, members of a sect may take on the names that denote which generation they come from within the sect (current mount hua consists of, in order from eldest to youngest, the hyun line, the un line, the baek line, and the chung line, though the true generational naming convention would have typically been chung > myung > hyun > un > baek, which would then repeat in a cycle) however taking on a generational name isnt necessarily required/enforced (ex. yu iseol, yoon jong, jo gul, etc do not take on generational names)

in his previous life, because chung myung was raised in the sect since infancy, he took on the chung generational name as his ‘birth’ name, as the chung line was the generation he was raised in. when he reenters mount hua post resurrection, he becomes a third class disciple, aka the current era chung disciples

TITLES

jangmun: sect leader, jangmun'in is used when speaking directly to the sect leader (ex. hyun jong, chung mun)

sasuk: senior martial brother, used by disciples of a different rank to senior disciples of higher ranking (ex. the chung disciples referring to the baek disciples, the baek/chung disciples referring to the un disciples)

sajil: junior martial brother, used by disciples of a different rank to junior disciples of a lower ranking (ex. the un disciples referring to the baek/chung disciples, the baek disciples referring to the chung disciples)

sasukjo: great martial uncle, used by disciples referring to the line above sasuk

sajo: martial grandparent/ancestor

sason: martial grandchild/descendant

sahyung: senior martial brother, used by disciples within the same rank to disciples who entered the sect earlier than them (aka chung myung referring to the elder chung disciples, chung disciples referring to yoon jong)

sajae: junior martial brother, used by disciples within the same rank to disciples who entered the sect after them (ex. the chung disciples referring to the chung disciples)

sajeo: senior martial sister, same as sahyung but used for women

sago: senior martial sister, same as sasuk but used for women (ex. tang soso referring to yu iseol)

samae: junior martial sister, same as sajae but used for women (ex. baek cheon referring to yu iseol)

dojang: disciple (ex. older characters use this to refer to chung myung/disciples of a sect)

hyung: meaning older brother, used by males when referring to their older brother or to an older male colleague one is friendly with

hyeonja-bae: referring to the hyun generation

unja-bae: referring to the un generation

baekja-bae: referring to the baek generation

cheongja-bae: referring to the chung generation

maehwa geomjon: plum blossom sword saint

hwasan shinryong: mount huas divine dragon

amjon/amzone: dark saint

maknae: used to refer to the youngest person in a group of people

PRE/SUFFIXES

-ah: a suffix that denotes casual familiarity typically used for those who are younger than the speaker or are of the same social standing, used at the end of a name if the name ends in a consonant (ex. hyun jong calls chung myung ‘chung myung'ah’)

-ya: a suffix that denotes casual familiarity typically used for those who are younger than the speaker or are of the same social standing, used at the end of a name if the name ends in a vowel (ex. chung myung calls tang bo ‘tang bo'ya’)

-nim: a respectful suffix that essentially means mr/mrs/miss

dosa: meaning taoist (ex. tang bo typically refers to chung myung as hyung nim/dosa hyung/dosa hyung nim)

-jon: a title given to martial artists who have mastered their respective martial arts perfectly, the most honourable title a warrior could get, translated to as ‘saint’ in the novel or 'supreme' in the manhwa (ex. plum blossom sword saint, dark saint)

please keep in mind however im not fluent in korean nor am i fully familiar w these terms of address and am using my knowledge of chinese honorifics and titles as they follow a similar formula.. if ive mislabeled something or used an unfaithful/misleading description, or if you just have more to add that i havent listed, please lmk!

HI TINN ITS ME PITTY 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️

i was wondering if youre still open for prompts… and if u are can you write about pbss somehow tranported to current mount hua, and everyone is confused af and just watches pbss and divine dragon interact (and maybe argue) with each other

PITTY HELLO ♥✨♥✨♥ yes i'm always open to prompts !!! im literally rotating rotmhs in my head 24/7

this first half was actually born from another prompt by mei on discord but I want to build on it, so dumping it here 👍 HAHAHA

»—————————–✄

The Plum Blossom Sword Saint lets out a ragged breath, his vision rapidly fading. His sword falls from his hand and soon after his body follows.

"...Mount Hua..." he mumbles, aware that the only thing left that awaited him was the cold claim of death.

He dies. And in the next second, he blinks up to a clear sky, the dead bodies that surrounded him gone.

%%%

Dawn had barely broken when an incessant banging against Mount Hua's gates and shouting started and broke the tranquil silence, rousing several disciples.

"OPEN UP!" Someone barks out from the other side. "Fuck. Fuck. Shit. Open this gate right now!!"

Un Am frowns at the lack of manners and respect being shown by the source of the shouting. He reaches the gate and pulls it open. It takes Un Am a bit of effort to ensure that his voice sounded cordial, "Hello, we aren't accepting any visitors this ear—"

Un Am cuts himself off as he takes note of the state of the man in front of him. The man's robes and face were crusted with dried blood despite a lack of any visible injury. That is, if one ignore his lack of an arm.

It still didn't explain the amount of blood he had on his body that was free from any wounds and visible scars.

The man's eyes were bloodshot and trembling. Un Am, even from afar, could tell that there was something deeply wrong with this man. He seemed unconscious of the way he emanated a manic aura; there was a charged sort of energy surrounded him that made an instinctive part of Un Am grip his sword handle in response.

The most notable and unexplainable part of the man, however, was the blood-stained plum blossom embroidered on his chest.

"Who...?" Un Am finds himself unable to react to the man's speed and freezes in place as the man grabs him by the lapels of his robe. He pulls Un Am towards himself and grits out,

"What. Happened. To. My Sect."

%%%

Baek Cheon was quickly ushered into the Sect Leader's residence the moment he returned with a few others from their last excursion to Xi'an.

"What's going on?" He asks.

Elder Un Geom, for a lack of a better word, looked harried. His face twists into a grimace. "It's a bit complicated..."

Baek Cheon doesn't know how he should feel about that response.

Surely, it couldn't be too terrible. After all, their sect was still standing and they did leave Chung Myung behind to stay on Mount Hua as he and the other chosen second-class disciples only had to deliver some goods and tokens to their subsect. Their youngest wouldn't let anything dangerous happen on his watch.

Baek Cheon tries to probe more information. "Before you pulled me away, Baek Sang mentioned something about a guest...?"

"We aren't quite sure of the specifics either, I'm afraid. But the man claims to be one of our ancestors from over a hundred years ago."

"An ancestor? Was he able to verify the claims?"

Un Geom nods. "I've never seen someone weild our plum blossom technique with as much power as he did."

If that was the case, then maybe their supposed ancestor could help them develop and improve their sword techniques even further by teaching them more about the skills that have been lost through time.

"Isn't that a good thing then?"

"It should be, but Chung Myung..."

Ah. Hearing those last three trailing words did not promise anything good.

When they finally opened the door to the Sect Leader's residence, they were greeted to the sight of a soulless Hyun Jong slumped against the wall, a freaked-out Yoon Jong who seemed to be torn between jumping into the fray and throwing himself out the window, and—

"WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO BEAT UP OUR ANCESTOR, YOU BRAT?!"

Their ancestor and Chung Myung pause in their positions as they both turned eerily similar pink gazes towards the two new entrants.

Chung Myung had the end of their ancestor's ponytail pulled towards him and scrunched up in his fists. His knee pressed against the older man's chest and neck while his jaw was unhinged as he was clearly attempting to bite the man's single arm.

Their ancestor in turn had his one hand closed around half of Chung Myung's face, trying to push him away. His legs were wrapped around Chung Myung's lower half in an inescapable hold and he seemed to have been gearing up for a headbutt before Baek Cheon and Un Geom interrupted them.

"You want me to call this brat my ancestor?!" Chung Myung shouts out as he renewed his attempts to bite the man by roughly grabbing onto the base of his ponytail.

"I'm one hundred years older than you!" Their ancestor grits out as he unashamedly bites Chung Myung's arm. "You disrespectful descendant! Back in my time—"

"'Back in my time', my ass!"

"You...!"

Off to the side, their current sect leader lets out a pitiful moan of mental pain. Baek Cheon would comfort him if he didn't feel the same amount of psychic damage as he watches his youngest sajil and ancestor continue their childish scuffle, rolling on the floor and uncaringly biting into each other like they were both five-year olds.

Later on, after tempers have cooled and everyone (read: Chung Myung and their ancestor) had managed to settle down into a tenuous truce, Hyun Jong turns a tired, but respectful nod towards the bruised man, "May we know this ancestor's identity?"

"Hm?" Said man absently rubs against the embroidered plum blossom on his new uniform. "Ah, I supposed you would know me as the Plum Blossom Sword Saint."

They would have expressed their shock and surpise, but they get easily distracted by Chung Myung's mocking scoff as he rolls his eyes in response.

[yikeskauri]

Drew Chung Myung as a Dragonborn kinda guy since his title is “the divine dragon of mount hua”

Idk I thought it would be cute 🥺

He’s transparent btw!!!

[chungmyungenthusiast]

Banter

Notes I Pure fluff maybe + chung myung content ?!?! woah.. keep in mind that this is not edited and checked :3

Chung Myung will never let you live this down. No way. Especially when he, quite literally, had you pinned down. "Give up yet?" He asks, his tone teasing as he looks down at you with that shit-eating grin he knows you have a hate-love relationship with. God, you want to wipe that grin off his face so bad. "Love," You start, your tone seemingly pleading as you look up at him. The one and only Mount Hua's Divine Dragon, Chung Myung, swore he could explode at any given moment. And while that normally is a threat to the other disciples, it means something else now. Slowly but surely, you lean closer to him. You then pout, "Please.." A kiss, then you turn the tables on him. For a split second, he was caught off-guard with that kiss; you didn't waste any time switching your positions. How cute he looks when he's under you. "I'll kiss you, okay? So please, keep your voice down."

Notes II Chung Myung deserves all of the kisses and hugs in the world.

[frill-s]

Mount Hua's Divine Dragon. That's what Cheong Myeong's title became after the contest between Zhongnan and Mount Hua. I never thought about who gave CM his first title. I just assumed it manifested into existence.

And then later in the novel, Jin Geumryong refers to CM as the Divine Dragon. CM is confused because has a new title that has been used more commonly. Jin Geumryong is so nonchalant as he says that he bestowed the name "Divine Dragon" to CM so of course he's going to keep referring to CM as Divine Dragon.

So there was a reason he was dubbed as the Divine Dragon, right? He beat Jin Geumryong, whose namesake was dragon. How did I miss that? Were there clues I overlooked? I just never thought about how he got the title, other than it was because he defeated the second-grade Zhongnan disciples.

Just saw a picture of divine dragon chung myung before he got that title and it really hit me how small Cho Sam's body was when chung myung came back. This little thought has spoilers for chapter 400+ (I think anyway) and vague spoilers for everything past ch 400 until like. Ch 800

GOD OK so we as the reader understand chung myungs situation very very intimately. WE understand that he is an 80+ year old man mentally. WE understand that he is not in fact 15, then 17, then 19, 20, etc. Everyone around him, however, truly believe that he is those ages.

It's brushed upon multiple times throughout the novel, especially whenever chung myung is down for the count/recovering after a fight. The facade he makes around himself, the strong reliable leader, fades away and the "truth" of who he is reinstates itself to those close to him in this second life. His back, every time he wavers, is described as small. This is always through the perspective of anyone but himself. This is even more apparent whenever he is unconscious after a serious fight. I don't know exactly chapters, but i KNOW that baek cheon (and the rest of the 5 swords plus soso and hye yeon), at least once, has had the reality of Chung myungs apparent age dawn upon them. That they're youngest sajae (sahyung in soso's case) is constantly spilling his own blood to protect them. (This fact is straight up said by yu iseol after the particularly bad fight with Jang ilso, spitting her frustration with only getting in chung myungs way instead of protecting him).

This phenomenon is hardly limited to the main group of disciples. After the first myriad men siege on Mount hua (while The Gang is in Xian), everyone subconsciously gains courage with the thought that soon enough chung myung will come, that he'll protect them. The disciples (soso being the most prevalent since she's one of the main disciples focused on in the novel) of course correct this thought, realizing that they cannot rely on chung myung forever. Anyways moving on from just describing this arc. What I mainly want to focus on is Hyun jong and chung myungs interaction AFTER the siege is finished, after un gum is fresh off of his amputation, after chung myung has barely gotten treatment for his own (quite serious) injuries.

What do you think when through Hyun jong's mind, seeing his youngest disciple, the one who brought back the hope that had almost died out with his sect, ruthlessly kill the enemy, return heavily wounded, and then try to sneak out almost immediately to go back to smite those who have harmed his home? To us, Chung myung is more than capable. He's the plum blossom sword Saint, the one who (even with all the regret he holds over this) severed the head of the heavenly demon. He's an 80+ year old man trying to protect the only thing besides bloodshed that is familiar in this second life. We understand the guilt he has over not being able to protect his home the first time. We understand that he would rather die than allow Mount Hua to fall again.

Hyun jong does not know this. He does not understand chung myungs rage (and guilt and grief and longing and-). He looks at chung myung and sees an 18 or 19 (I don't remember) year old boy, covered in wounds, trying to sneak out of his home on a suicide mission of revenge. He sees a boy. He knows that if he let's this boy go, he will never see him alive again. So he uses chung myungs borderline (who are we kidding, it is way past borderline) unhealthy loyalty with mount hua to dissuade him from walking to his death.

ANYWAYS long story not so short, I need need need more analysis over what everyone but chung myung thinks about him. Everyone sees this young teen, then young adult, bend over backwards to the point where he has almost died so so so many times just so mount hua can flourish. They've seen him kill ruthlessly, they've seen him sob over the skeleton of an ancestor (one of his brothers, a reminder of what he has lost, what he will never get back), they've seen him silly and carefree, they've seen him almost mad with bloodlust.

To us, he is chung myung, the old plum blossom sword Saint, slayer of the heavenly demon. To them, he is chung myung, the scrawny 15 year old that changed their lives, that faces unknown traumas, that has had a life so, so unkind to him.

Sometimes I look at chung myung pre time skip, how small he is, how he looks like a child, how he acts nothing like one, and remember that only we, the readers, get the full context behind his actions.

[ryin-silverfish]

The way that Erlang's parents meet and how his mother is rescued varies a lot across traditional storytelling as seen on stage and in recitation. I'll list out the versions I found:

Taiping Geci Recitation: "Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother"/"劈山救母". Erlang lives in Heaven and spends his days hunting. He shoots down a pair of phoenixes and his grandfather the Jade Emperor rewards him with divine liquor. He falls asleep and dreams of his mother, causing him to ask the JE what happened to her. The JE weeps in shame and asks Erlang to seek out the Queen Mother of the West. She tells him that his mother married a mortal, and after having a son, washed the baby's diapers and polluted the seas. Heaven's armies were sent to capture her, but Sun Wukong shut her under Mount Tao. Erlang goes to Taishang Laojun, who tells him about Pan Gu's axe. Erlang goes into the mortal world and finds the axe has gained sentience as a demon. he defeats it and chops open Mount Tao to save his mother.

Bangzi Opera, Cantonese Opera, and Drum Recitations: "Third Princess Goes to the Mortal World"/"三姐下凡". The JE's daughters all go down to the mortal world to view festival lights. Erlang's mother meets his father and falls in love. She escapes from her chaperone, the divine general Hua Guang, and recruits the local Tudi couple to be her foster parents so she can marry Scholar Yang. She gives birth to Erlang, but the JE finds her and sends various gods to capture her. She fights all of them off except Guan Yin, who persuades her to surrender herself. JE imprisons her in the Heavenly Dungeon, where she gives birth to her daughter. Erlang grows up in the mortal world with his father and is teased by his classmates over having no mother. His father tells him about his mother's imprisonment and he goes off to rescue her. Erlang acquires divine arts, weapons, armor, and a horse from the immortal Yuding. He heads up to Heaven, where QMW warns him that JE will send out multiple trials to test his willpower. He'll need to carry two great mountains on his shoulders to capture the 12 suns standing guard over the prison. He does so and frees his mother and sister, and his sister helps him attack JE's palace and force him to agree to pardon their mother.

Han Opera: "Taoshan Cave"/"桃山洞". Erlang's mother falls in lover with a mortal after realizing they're fated to marry. Unfortunately, Yuan Hong's (the monkey demon from FSYY) sister also believes she's fated to marry Scholar Yang. Erlang's mother recruits the local Tudi to help her do some tricks with an old tree that gets Scholar Yang to agree to marry her. Sometime after their wedding the monkey demoness attacks and tries to abduct Scholar Yang. Erlang's mother fights them off and carves her name onto the demoness's face. The demoness runs back to her brother, who attacks Erlang's parents in revenge, but is also beaten back, and during their battle, Erlang's mother brags about her name. Yuan Hong reports her to Heaven and gets help from the Dragon Kings and other gods to capture her. Erlang's mother entrusts her baby son to Taishang Laojun, and the united forces of demonic immortals and gods capture her. Yuan Hong shuts her beneath Mount Tao, where she gives birth to a daughter. Erlang grows up with Yuding. He eats special ox, tiger, and dragon buns, as well as peaches of immortality, then bathes in a mortality-shedding pool to gain his powers. He arms himself and goes to Mount Tao, where he defeats the demons and his dog kills the monkey demoness. He rescues his mother and sister and they head home to reunite with their father.

Puxian Opera: "Third Princess Goes to the Mortal World"/"三姐下凡". Basically the same as Han Opera, except Erlang's mother's rival is a dragon princess. Erlang is considered a freak by his father for having three eyes and given over to Yuding. After Erlang's mother mutilates her rival, the Dragon Kings fight her and imprison her under Mount Tao. Erlang's father is abducted and imprisoned under the sea for refusing to marry the mutilated dragon princess. Erlang grows up and besieges the Dragon Palace. The mutilated princess's younger sister comes out to fight him and they fall in love. She makes peace between him and her family and they free his father. Erlang goes to Mount Tao, where he frees his mother and sister. Their family is reunited.

Hunan Huagu Opera: "Zhang's Second Girl Goes to the Mortal World"/“张二姐下凡". Erlang's mother is the Second Heavenly Princess. She reads some Heavenly Scrolls and notices that two gods are yet to be born and decides to be the one who gives birth to them. She picks as her husband Scholar Yang, who's already married to a woman named Zhao Meirong. She takes Meirong's form and tricks Scholar Yang into believing Meirong is a demon. Meirong goes home to her father and brothers, who are outlaws that rule a certain mountain. Her father has Taoist arts and lights special incense to summon the gods and report this strange matter. The gods discover the Second Princess's identity, but even after having her children, she refuses to leave because she's truly fallen in love with her mortal husband. She is captured and shut under Mount Tao. Erlang is abandoned in the mountains and saved by Yuding. The second part is called "Splitting the Moutain to Save Mother"/"劈山救母". When Erlang grows up, Yuding sends him to a renowned swordsmith couple to forge him a blade that can split mountains. The raw material must be the Ox-King's horn and the fuel must be the essence of golden coal from Mount Mei. Erlang takes the form of the Jade-faced Fox, seduces the Ox-King, and saws off a horn while he's drunk. He then fights the spirit of the Golden Coal. She falls in love with him and willingly sacrifices her essence to fuel the forge. Erlang splits the mountain and saves his mother.

Teochow Opera: "Third Princess Goes to the Mortal World"/"三姐下凡". Erlang's mother goes to Earth to fight a three-headed demon dragon and his lackey, a dog demon. She falls in love with Scholar Yang in the process and takes the form of a huntress to marry him. They have a son. She is summoned back by Heaven and imprisoned under Mount Tao for forgetting her mission. Like in the Lotus Lantern stories, Erlang's father remarries and has another son. The brothers kill a classmate by accident. Erlang's brother is handed to the authorities while Erlang escapes and studies the immortal arts. He finds the very demons his mother was hunting now have their base over her prison. He defeats the dragon, turning him into his spear, then defeats the dog and turns him into his pet. He frees his mother and discovers he has a sister.

Thank you! I'm not familiar with operas at all, so this is a valuable list to people who want to know more about the other variants of Erlang's mom-saving stories out there, outside the premodern ones from the Lotus Lantern Summaries!

come inflation, eggs, tangcheong?

🔞 whereas chung myung reincarnated into cho sam, tang bo finds himself reincarnated into a snake.

he doesn't gain cognition quickly, rather it comes to him in bits and pieces through memories of the fragrance of plum blossoms, glinting metal, and the taste of blood.

he's considered as one of the weirder spiritual animals within the beast palace alongside that annoying white furball. more than once, he thinks, they've thought of putting him down for good because of his volatile nature.

he knows they regret not doing it sooner when one of their guests from Mount Hua comes to their morning feast with a round belly that's not because of food and smelling disntinctly of wet soil and sex.

chung myung doesn't realize it but Tang Bo's come from the night before stained a part of his pants wet.

tang bo for his part curls contentedly around the shoulders of this Divine Dragon. he's glad that he figured out how to partially regain his human form by ingesting this human's qi and juices.

a few months later, chung myung nearly chokes the snake to death when he abruptly turns back into his human form mid-delivery of a dozen eggs.

~○Cheong myeong x seagull°

warning: thrusting, hard nsfw, ass slapping, blowjob, grinding, horny lines and just pure sex, ofc it's sex, making out, dick eating, just pure insanity in sex. Just have a great fucking time. 👩‍🦼

______________________________________

seagull was a lovable man, but he's also odd to be part of a sect only to fangirl on the divine dragon of the sect. we all love for who he is and how his mysterious antics do and work, but cheong meyong.. he's a wild one. many people question how he became the divine dragon of Mount hua and serve the future legacy of this sect. sad that Mount hua has a sad past when It comes to ancient china's drama.

Being part of the 10 great sects, being sabotaged by the southern edge sect, the prodigy of Mount hua getting killed by the leader of the demon cult, and getting their title removed once everyone died on that mountain,the place of when cheonma's decapitated body is held down like a ancient board to store bodies by the terms of egyptians. it's a sad sight. To see such a powerful sect get beaten down into a pulp and get their title taken away like a child getting their lollipop snatched from their hands. seagull watched as he saw cheong meyong do a lot for his sect. the sect that he grew up with and died in the exact same sect. It's like watching his own family die, and he has to be the one to watch everything go downhill. He will sacrifice everything in his power to restore his sect to its former glory. even if it means facing cheonma once again in the spike of destruction.

he closes the book, looking at the drawn pages of that day like in a children book with pictures. the colored pages were like stained blood on the pages.

But it wasn't blood. It was a blood moon, and the grass was bathed in blood of Mount hua. The weapons were in the tips of the red dirt as bodies were found and seen everywhere upon the battleground. Seagull flipped to the last page to only see cheong meyong swinging his sword with the beauty of the seven blossom technique and the beauty of their techniques to defeat this monster. actually terrifying to think that this monster of a leader might come back someday to cause havoc upon the chinese world. he put the book down, wishing for trouble not to eat him out since that book is off limits to Mount hua disciples.

seagull felt a slap of wind hit his neck. He looked to the side to see the beak-line disciples training. none of them had the strength to summon blossoms at the tip of their swords, but beakcheon.. he's a good aspect of what the mount hua swordsmanship. even though he's handsome but also resembles his brother a lot, Jin geumryong of the zhongan sect, but he wasn't with the beak-line disciples. he was with cheong meyong and the others. just trying to strategically plan their next move on the wudang sect.

Instead of reaching out to him, cheong meyong wasn't even there to begin with. so where is he? I'm sure he and the others that are like a squad to him in a video game are supposed to be the most powerful disciples of Mount hua, no questions asked by the sect leader about them. seagull looked around the plan to find him. "This sect grew so much, and I'm proud of how much they work for this sect's nearly restored glory." he spoke off in his mind as he went through each hall, each dining hall, each lounge, each training grounds, and each suite to find this dragon.

A small sound of rain was at the end of the sect. it was one last suite that wasn't checked. seagull peaked his head to the site of steam like someone was taking a shower in the back. black and pink clothes were scattered across the floor, and it seemed to be coming from outside the back and not inside of the suite.

"cheong meyong? hmm... let's take a peak to the back. did the sect leader just give him his own suite to bathe in since he is the divine dragon after all..??" he peaked his head to the back of the building once again but to see something so eye poisoning but so hot at the same time.

You saw his entire body naked with branches covering it in some sort of royal shower with plants as decor for it. It was light pink blossoms shining upon his lower body. It's like he's a model. But then.

As he is washing his body.

laughing as if he's a drunken mess, he took a guzzle of his favorite wine, we never even see him drink wine but only booze as if it's his favorite drink before a mission or to stink of it as lay down with many duties sitting on his face. he had the edges of his mouth drip with this wine. He sat down the wine in a small compartment. so many damn thoughts went through the roof of his mind when witnessing this absurd but ridiculously attractive eye-catching sight. "What is he doing?"

"God his abs are hot i just want to munch on them."

"I wish I could scream at this moment but I cant."

"God, I hope he didn't see me." He tied his hair up while it looked fluffy and pleasing to touch. this is jaha's brother in biological nature. he went right back inside the suite to give himself some nice skin care. seagull didn't want to feel like a creep, so he headed back to the main grounds of the sect, keeping his neutral face as if he didn't want to scream out of what he just saw. it was lunchtime. and everyone is treated to a delicious spread of meat.

It was 25 minutes later. seagull took the chopsticks and stuck some meat in the middle of them, chomping his mouth on it, so flavorful and so extravagant. He saw this divine dragon laughing and eating across the table with his mouth in and out of a booze bottle, enjoying the feast with his drunken mess all over the ripples of his personality. such a asshole but such a hero that cares about everyone and this sect. cheong meyong took a glance at him through his shoulder while his mouth was scarfed of meat and booze.

His skin looked like life-lines, and he looked away at his unexpected glance. eating your feast as if nothing happened. his heart thumped when his continued glare started to scar the back of him, "HEY! SEAGULL!"

he looked back to see his hand raised up to invite you over to them. It was multiple other disciples. Look at this moment if it's a TV show, but cheong meyong seems to speak those words in genuine motion. seagull grabbed his plate of food and walked towards them like the definition of nervousness is biting down his neck like a social battery sucking vampire.

It's an empty seat next to the divine dragon, praying that no embarrassment or stunt will be pulled in this awkward situation of luncheon delicate, his light voice took it down first. he asked if you're a disciple of Mount hua and what's your rank or line? one word spoke it all to his scent of booze and a hidden blossom smell. he's the exact same line as cheong and his friends.

"So how are you cheong?"

"I'm good, I'm no longer behind tormented by the eunha trading company. Zhongan crying like a little bitch when I beat their ass in the huzukong contest 2 years ago. Hehe♡ such insolence to their childish reaction when they find out that Mount hua is the strongest♡" he gulped more of his booze and ate some of the chicken as a mix between flavors. he's so attractive to be anicent and also part of the greatest swordman on earth in china. but right as he looked at his beauty,

A note been handed to him from under the table. it's spelled out. "Don't open until after lunch, open at near nighttime." But the crazy thing is that he slipped his warm hand to Seagull's thigh right when he gave him the note, none of the others noticed. But his face looked so smug as if he's doing a facade to his friends right when he slid his hand to his thigh. he choked up his food when his palm stared to run smoothly to the top and to the bottom of his leg.

seagull ate the rest of his food and ran off with his voice, nearly scratching the ears of every one once in the room, screeching like a fangirl to express what just happens, his hand was down there like he sharing that he likes you or it was accidental. he shut the door to the units of the beak-line disciples.

And then he did a silent scream to let out all of it. He once again saw the book on his bed like a ghost, put it there to read it more. his hands laid the book down to the center of his palms and flipped to the next page. "cheong meyong. he grew up in the Mount hua sect before he even had to figure out what he's looking at as a newborn infant. he went through training as a second grade disciple, a third grade disciple, a beak-line disciple, possibly a graduate, and having the full knowledge of the plum blossom techniques. and then..because a master and basically a co leader of the sect leader of the past against the war of the demon cult. being part of the ten great sects, and the only reason is because cheong is the greatest swordsman. having superhuman speed, superhuman strength, immense swordsmanship and power, all of it," his eyes turned into heavy sandbags. but tries his best to keep reading for more information. Being like a college student studying Chinese martial arts sects and their way of fighting back 2000 years ago.

his eyes were completely closed to a temporary slumber. Forgetting about the note stuck in his hand,

It was late 9am, he woke up to voices coming out of his room since everyone was about to go to sleep at this time. Or cheong is probably going to make their lives a living hell by putting boulders in their backs as if their spines aren't gonna break upon the impact. he raised his body up to see the note on his fingers. but there is no point in finding out what it is now. since curiosity killed him as a level 50 boss in a video game. he unraveled the note. It said.

"Seagull. I didn't want to share this back at the table since I don't want to be called out on it or just embarrassed myself. But I saw you enter the sect to explore the history of Mount hua, and you were gorgeous for a man. So this is pointing out something that isn't hard to figure out. but let's point out something else. I'm in your room right now." he flinched again to see a figure in his peripheral vision. It was cheong.

Wearing a bandit outfit. it's like he stole something from an ancient Chinese palace that has an artifact that can be sold millions. but something about him was different purely from his expression on his face. he was breathing so shaky, and his eyes were closed to hide something he was doing to himself. Even his mouth started to copy and paste itself onto the mask. but his pants were on the other side of the floor. Seagull came into realization once he squinted his eyes into his darkness.

It was a long thing at his lower body. he couldn't quite see what he's trying to do, but it seemed like he didn't care if he noticed him doing this. he flipped the light on but right as the light to his room lit it up entirely. cheong lunged at him, exposing his boner wide open to see his cock having a leak of pre-cum right in the tip of it. he had a stench of strong booze around his scent. maybe it's alcohol? Or did he get drugged by someone and just got the effects of it? seagull turned red right when he had to take a few seconds to adjust what's happening here. "cheong, what are you doing?" he whispered in a voice of some many hidden secrets to spill out "those" physical touch thoughts. "I think I got drugged..or..or someone put an aphrodisiac in a drink.. I don't know what is happening right now, but I'm pissed off. I want you to fix it."

"Fix what? cheong, go to bed, please." Seagull had to control himself right at this moment because it's way too much to handle for a man that he clearly likes. being drugged and horny right in front of him. "Suck."

"what?"

"Fix me.. That's what I meant. you have to understand what I mean by the term "wanting you." God, this isn't like my normal personality. I just got back from my errand, so.. please." he stood up with his boner squelching more of this drippy pre-cum than ever. It's enough to pop a blood vessel, and the blood is pumping through the outside. this is exactly it. he was a bit small for a muscular man with thighs that can crush watermelon. seagull took a small drop of his pre-cum on his fingers and ate it. he looked at him, his eyes were basically begging for it, begging for a mouth to overconsume his cock and suck it down like melted, drinkable ice cream. he slowly caressed his hand to his member. slowly sliding his hand up and down to feel the inch, to feel his hardened cock start to unravel his lust and his hunger to get this out of him. but more realization hit seagull in the back of the head.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait..what about the others? What if somebody hears us? What if the officials barg in on us since you are the prodigy of this sect?" he sighed and spoke in words that is carefree and low.

"I don't really care. If they need to do something with me. They need to do it themselves. I just want this. I don't want any interrupts. if they can come in, come in, let them see it." lowering his mouth slowly down to the tip of his cock, it smelt good surprisingly, but just so many thoughts were mixing his brain right now but it's so unnecessary.

So fuck it and do it.

he shoved his mouth down to his cock tip behind in deep in the cave of his mouth, and slowly moved up and down, he groaned in estacy and grabbed a chunk of his hair to basically swallow his cock nearly down to his throat. it continued that for the next few minutes of dick sucking. but in seagull's mind. he simply enjoyed this. but don't go too hard on my throat, or it will hurt a lot, but cheong is such a hottie holy shit. He's moaning so silently to ensure my overthinking. I can see his abs all the way to his neck. this is a true experience of what it's like to suck your lover's dick. he pulled out from his mouth so abruptly, releasing his load upon his face like lotion. He came so fast and so easy.

he had enough and pulled him down to the floor. Seagull wrapped his legs across his body, giving him the perfect fit towards bodies touching, his cock was about to throb at this sudden action. feeling surprised at how a mere beak-line disciple can top the divine dragon like it's a soldier vs. an army of magical but dangerous dragons. "This is unexpected of you seagull..I'm not one to be defeated by a small disciple."

"Enough talk. I'm taking the floor for now." he slowly rolled his body in hypnotic sways. grinding on him in absurd domination to claim him as his, he moaned and written it down in lazy downs in those words spelling "fuck." Seagull blew wind in his breath and did a quiet moan but silenced right after that in flustered embarrassment. he stuttered out some words that wanted to be poured out but interrupted by a secondary load shot right in between his thighs. His hands slid to his waist and neck, smashing him down onto his lips.

he slipped his tougue right in his mouth, his body was hot, and his mouth tasted like booze. their tones of voices mixed together in their muffled smooching. seagull felt his hands squeeze his ass to their make-out session. He pulled them out of their kiss, "ahh..I wanted to fuck you ever since you got to this sect."

"Mhm.." he lightly slapped his ass when his other hand went towards his cock, raising it up in position."

"please do it."

What do you think about tang bo vs tang gunak for cheongmyeong. With either tang bo time travelling/reincarnated to the future or tang gunak time travel to the past?

hello!! i am so so sorry this is super late 🥺 I've been rotating this ask in my head for two months because there's simply so many possibilities with this, I absolutely love love love it!

»—————————–✄

To say that Tang Zhan's twin brother was a bit of a recluse would be an understatement.

Despite being named after one of the most renowned members of the Tang Family, Tang Gunak's son took after the known worst traits of their great ancestor.

Tang Bo was as cold and uncaring as the earlier recounts of his namesake. But unlike their ancestor, his son wasn't interested in improving his martial arts. Rather, he seemed to content himself with staying indoors and building that strange shrine of his that appeared to be dedicated to the Plum Blossom Sword Saint.

Tang Gunak sighs tiredly. He could never get a straight answer from his son whenever he asked about his odd obsession with Mount Hua's hero. Through the years, he's learned to brush it off as another eccentricity of his son.

The one time he ordered Tang Pae and Tang Zhan to remove their brother's shrine, they both ended up needing immediate medical assistance because of how viciously Tang Bo had attacked them for 'desecrating' his altar.

He thinks it's such a shame that Tang Bo refuses to partake in his siblings' training, but despite his adamant refusal, his son's core is still one of the strongest among his siblings.

And one of the purest too, it suddenly comes to Tang Gunak's mind as he watches Chung Myung cheerfully chug down another bottle of alcohol.

It feels almost wrong how easy it was to compare Chung Myung's core with his son's despite them being on vastly different spectrums while having equally well-known namesakes from their respective family and sect.

On one end in the dark, there was Tang Bo who quietly cultivated his core as he whispered quiet mutterings to his altar and refused interactions with people unnecessarily. And on the other was Chung Myung, who was at the forefront of Mount Hua's rise.

It was admirable, truly.

Tang Gunak would say so as much if it weren't for the sudden killing intent he could feel directed at him.

Standing outside right in front of the window with no subtlety whatsoever was his son, Tang Bo. His face was pressed against the window panes and Tang Gunak only realized then how threatening of an aura his son could produce.

Chung Myung wiped the drips of alcohol away from his lips and cast Tang Bo an amused look, "Aren't you going to finally let him in?"

Tang Gunak would have if he didn't know that his son would begin to antagonize him the moment he's let into the room by monopolizing Chung Myung's attention and looking smug about it. It happened during their first meeting in the dining hall so Tang Gunak wouldn't be surprised if it happened all over again.

He would lean overly into Chung Myung's space and call him 'hyung' with an exaggerated tone despite being the older of the two. And much to everyone else's bafflement and discomfort, Chung Myung wordlessly let him.

While Tang Gunak was glad that his son finally deemed it alright to leave the confines of his room, he isn't sure if the change in obsession from the Plum Blossom Sword Saint to Mont Hua's Divine Dragon was a fair exchange.

Tang Gunak watches as Chung Myung makes his way to the window and leans against Tang Bo from the other side.

Tang Bo's face noticeably softens as his gaze shifts toward the younger man and it twists a strange part of Tang Gunak's stomach to watch the same thing happen to Chung Myung's face.

Said man taps against the glass pane, "Stop being so intense. You're freaking your dad out."

His son grumbles while tossing him another stink-eye—Tang Gunak has gotten his fair share of those this past week ever since these two struck up a sudden close friendship. His gaze turns petulant as he returns his attention to Chung Myung.

"What is it about me making friends that you hate so much," Chung Myung rolls his eyes in exasperation.

"My father doesn't want you to be 'just friends'."

Tang Gunak would be more offended by the vitriol in the way Tang Bo called him his father if he weren't distracted by the weird tone his son spoke the last phrase.

Tang Bo takes a look at the mutual confusion on Chung Myung and Tang Gunak's faces and isn't sure if he's thankful or annoyed that he's surrounded by painfully emotionally oblivious people.

Less competition but, at the same time, it's sometimes too embarrassing to watch the way Tang Gunak unconsciously acted around Chung Myung in private.

Tang Bo narrows his eyes. It's been more than a lifetime, surely his feelings will reach Chung Myung faster than his father's does. Right??

Chapter 5: The Divine Sword Descends

(Volume 9: The Divine Sword Captures the Dragon) << Previous Chapter | Table of Contents | Next Chapter >> Since the gathering at Mount Hua, it had been half a year since Lu Yun last saw the Kunlun sect leader. Now, as they met again, he noticed that Zhuo Lingzhao had grown thinner, his face carrying an expression of weariness, devoid of the cold arrogance he once possessed. Clearly, after…
