I would very much enjoy reading some MQF x SY orz
Disciple au MuYuan where (head disciple) MQF is kidnapped while he’s on a mission and is held hostage by a group of demons. SY (not transmigrated) is a young demon underling who’s only there because his special interest is now humans instead of beasts. Growing up with the demonic culture means that Shen Yuan’s standard for common sense is different. All Shen Yuan knows about humans is through novels (shitty novels in his opinion, if it were him in these scenarios then…)
Anyways so cut to MQF locked up in a room, bound by immortal binding cables. It’s been about a week of him being kidnapped (he won’t be kidnapped for much longer) and MQF is rather surprised to find that one of the demons is rather pleasant to be around. Of course MQF’s guard is still up but… Looking at the demon jotting down notes about the things Mu Qingfang has helped clarify about humans, MQF doesn’t really think it’s necessary.
“No way that’s true, I’m not that naive”
Shen Yuan said as his charcoal pencil stopped moving in his notebook, looking at Mu Qingfang with an accusatory stare. Mu Qingfang just nodded his head in response, clarifying that yes, humans can eat rocks. Shen Yuan looked as if he’d never heard of a more absurd lie.
“Open your mouth, let me see”
Shen Yuan leaned forward, watching as Mu Qingfang complied and let Shen Yuan peer into his mouth.
“Your teeth are way too flat for that, there’s not even a chip. You absolutely don’t eat rocks!”
This debate had been sparked by Shen Yuan bringing Mu Qingfang some herbs and Mu Qingfang requesting a bit of meat in return. Shen Yuan’s eyes sparkled as he asked if this was one of the weird herbivore-meat-cravings that humans seemed to have. He looked baffled when Mu Qingfang said that humans were omnivores. This of course spiraled into a long chat about what humans can and can’t eat, and Mu Qingfang absentmindedly mentioning salt.
“Of course, not only are they special rocks, but there’s also a special way to eat the rocks. The rich especially enjoy eating them in particular.”
“How would you digest that? Do the rocks not sit in your stomachs?”
“Of course not, the acid—”
“Acid? I wasn’t aware that humans could spit acid…”
“Spit? I mean maybe if one was unwell. No, the acid normally sits in our stomachs.”
“You’re definitely lying now!”
Shen Yuan shut his book and looked at Mu Qingfang as if he’d grown two heads. Humans are such interesting creatures.
Anyways when MQF is saved he practically begs to bring this young demon back to “study.” Eventually the pls cave and let SY into the sect with the conditions that his demonic power is bound at all times and always escorted by MQF or someone else. It’s a win in SY’s book because he didn’t die and is learning a ton about humans.
Further context : SY’s race of demon is very heat orientated, with a high body temperature (with heat focused points such as the mouth and genitalia xd)
This species of demon doesn’t have stomach acid. They do have fluids in the stomach, but rather than acid it’s something more of a hot water-liquid that helps rid anything they eat of parasites and/or impurities. They have a high body temperature and normally eat fire and meat.
This bodily function does mean that the species tends to prefer raw meat since most cooked meat ends up burned by the time they’ve finished chewing it and the taste of burnt stuff isn’t as good as the taste of cooked food. Fatty meat is also preferred since muscle protein doesn’t really melt.
Oh since most of their food melts in the stomach without needing to be disposed of they’ve evolved without the waste-removal aspect of the digestive tract.
This makes them the ideal henchmen for other demon because the cost of keeping them is low, they don’t really need to feed them food since they can eat fire, and they grow up pretty fast. Does this mean they don’t have buttholes? Well originally I’d say yes but then I was like meh that’s so weird to think about so like…
No they don’t have buttholes, but instead has another reproductive organ there (all demons of the species are intersex)
