Shen Qingqiu attends a meeting stinking of distressed omega. Qi Qingqi decides that enough is enough; they can't have someone who so blatantly abuses omegas in their pack.

Propaganda:

More scum villain prompts- I suddenly wanted a story and ot3 of Shen Qingqiu/Shen Yuan/ Luo Binghe in a poly relationship. So the premise is that Shen Qingqiu-Shen Jiu is the oldest, with Shen Yuan in the middle with Luo Binghe the youngest. So Shen Yuan transmigrated into an NPC and decided to stop the story from going down the drain- he was brillaint in the sense that he had a good job of protecting locals from demon/huanting attacks and was paid well enough, he loved documenting the fuana and updating his bestiary he couldn't do that once the reals merged and became more dangerous and he might end up dying a second time! so his mission, go to Qing Jing Peak and assasinate Shen Qingqiu.

It goes as well as a slow trainwreck. He gets attacked by a monster on the way there and gets saved by the most prickly disciple he has ever met and see's that the current Sect Leader is a stranger, so Shen Yuan is too early for the Qing generation and has to wait.

After this Shen Jiu or rescues him and takes care of him both end up fighting, Shen Jiu is cruel and completely sadistic and Shen Yuan wants to hate him but he saved his life he just has no clue why Shen Jiu hates him? Shen Yuan excells since he has expereince outside the sect and has a plethora of knoledge that he learned first hand theres rumours he might become head disciple since he was accepted into the Qing Jing peak [He had to be here this was where Shen Qingqiu/Luo Binghe faced off! He had to have a first row seat!]

But being a sect leader? Shen Yuan didn't want to be tied down especially when there was so much in this world that he could explore!

__________________________________________________________

Shen qingqiu watched as his eldest disciple fret, his face an open book he could read the panic in the others eyes his complexion pale.

“Luo Binghe has feelings for me.”

He spoke almost stunned.

Shen qingqiu raised an eyebrow, finally figured it out.

“What made you think that?” Shen qingqiu words dipped in sarcasm which earned a heated glare from Shen yuan.

“I don’t understand, he was supposed to have a harem, wives! and I’m not- I don’t-" He tripped over his words, usually Shen Yuan never tripped over his words unless he was really rattled. "I don’t like men, and once he realises...” he rambled and Shen qingqiu could only sigh.

Shen yuan was truly oblivious, Shen Qingqiu thought he was being a fool on purpose. All of those men who thought his disciple the world and when Shen Qingqiu pointed it out to Shen yuan the younger would just deny it.

“I told you Luo Binghe wanted you,” he has been saying this for years. He scooted closer, both tied up and waiting for their fates.

 Shen Yuan glared at him, “You say that about everybody.” his lips pressed into a pout.

Shen qingqiu couldn’t take it, he might die here. Ripped apart if what Shen Yuan said was true.

 He was right on some accounts, the abyss, Luo Binghe's return and Shen Qingius trial.

But sometimes he was wrong. Binghe's lack of harem and Shen Yuan gaining the favour of men left right and centre. In matters such as those he was mistaken, he had to take some of what his disciple said with a grain of salt.

But for some one like Shen Qingqiu he was always unlucky. Nothing ever worked out for him so it was a fair bet that if he was to die by Luo Binghe's hands in a gruesome death, he wouldn't be surprised.

Shen Qingqiu made his decision, since Shen yuan was oblivious he would have to be blunt about it.

“Shen yuan.”

He spoke cutting through the others turmoil thought like a knife through butter.

“You are really dense about others feelings.”

Shen Yuan brows furrowed before his eyes snapped open as Shen Qingqiu leaned towards him.

Shen Qingqiu kissed him, Shen yuan made a noise akin to a squeak body stiffening, but not moving away, Shen qingqiu plied his mouth open and felt the others exhale, he pressed forward nipping the others lip and they groaned eyes shutting tight, each sound he greedily soaked in coaxed from the younger, Shen Yuan made some pretty noises his own mouth tentively licking back and Shen Qingqiu felt smug. 

If Shen yuans preference was ever in question it was answered, he took his first kiss and would gladly take more, after all he was a greedy man.

He leaned back hearing Shen yuans panting breath ghost his skin.

“You…Shizun…?” He sounded unsure his voice fragile and Shen Qingqiu with his tied hands could only loop them around Shen yuan nuzzling his face into Shen yuans neck as he whispered.

“Do you know why I hated that little beast?” He spoke into the skin, Shen Yuan shivered. The others mouth opened then closed. “I see myself in him, a pathetic waif of a boy who had only known cruelty. I know what he’s thinking every time he looks at you, wants to steal your time, dote on you, serve you, spoil you." He nuzzled into Shen Yuans skin and spoke softly like a secret. "I know every vile thought and perversion in his mind because it’s the same wretched things I want to do to you myself.” He nipped the skin at his neck feeling Shen Yuans sharp inhale.

He felt Shen Yuan pull back and let him, almost letting go. If Shen Yuan didn't want him back he'll accept this.

But Shen Qingqiu knew nothing would be the same, he had a bad habit of ruining things it was just a matter of time before he ruined Shen Yuan and broke what they had.

Instead of disgust, Shen Yuan only looked disbelieving.

ShenQingiu swore he and Luo Binghe could duel cultivate with Shen Yuan and he would STILL think nothing off it. They were just being really friendly!

Shen Yuans eyes widened “Shen Qingqiu- you?” 

“Yes,” he spoke resigned. “You were the only one who saw me, had accepted every ugly piece but you never shied away from me, you even stood up against me." Even more than Yue Qingyuan, he was distant almost afraid to touch him as if Shen Qingqiu was still that dirty slave a regret that he wished would just die and disapear.

Not Shen Yuan, he saw him and accepted him, prickly nature and all.

"You even loved that Luo Binghe," He and Binghe were alike- too alike which was why he hated the beast for stealing his disciples attention. Both had a taste of real kindness and they wanted to hoard that to themselves."

"Luo Binghe always wanted to be stronger to protect someone. Did you fail to realise that person he wanted to protect was you?" Shen Yuan still looked unsure, as if he was trying to solve a complex puzzle. “But I don’t like men,” He looked down, and Shen Qingqiu almost scoffed he’ll prove it, Shen yuans response to his kiss was enough-

But the other kept talking, “The others Mu Qingfan, Gongyi xiao , Yue Qingyuan.” Shen Qingqiu hands clenched why was he mentioning them - did he finally get it through his thick skull how they doted on him, was he entertaining thoughts of them? Shen Qingqiu almost scowled, why did he mention them at all?

“I admit they’re handsome,” Shen Yuan always thought so, but he was just mumbling out loud. “But I never liked them like this, if they kissed me it wouldn’t feel like this.”

…idiot.

Shen Qingqiu wanted to kiss him again.

“But you- and Luo Binghe, Binghe has his harem and you have Yue Qingyuan!" shaking his head, Shen Qingqiu rolled his eyes "What harem? You've changed things, there is no harem. And for Yue Qingyuan..." Shen QIngqiu tilted his head "Would I be here in your lap if I wanted anything to do with him?"

Shen Yuans face flushed as he remembered their arrangment.

He wet his lips "I don’t you, or him-, he doesn’t deserve that.”

“Doesn’t that prove it? You’ve always liked that sticky disciple of yours,” Shen Qingqiu spoke his breath ghosting Shen yuans neck, and why was he being Luo Binghe's wingman?

He knew how much Shen Yuan loved the little beast, and trying to seperate the two would be worse off for him in the long run. Didn't mean he couldn't have a taste first.

“You always cared for him, risked your life by taking without a cure for him-“ Shen Qingqiu will admit he was jealous, he choose Luo Binghe as his disciple for Shen yuan to keep the cultivator there in his peak. He hadn’t realised how the two would gravitate for each other.

“If he were here now what would you do?”

He looked back up and saw how Shen yuans jade pale face blossomed pink.

Well that answered it.

“But you- he,” Shen yuan shook his head “I don’t want to choose.” 

Shen yuan always prioritised saving Shen Qingqiu after all it was a life debt, he could let Shen yuan go to the little beast. He could die becoming a human stick and he was fine with that.

Shen yuan instead scowled “Luo Binghe had a harem, so why can’t I until I figure this out.” He decided with a firm nod.

What…?

Shen Yuan stared at him and Shen Qingqiu felt something shift to be pinned under that gaze.

“Well? If those were my terms.” Could he share A-yuan with that beast?

“I’m not kissing Luo Binghe.” Shen Qingqiu spoke and Shen yuan smirked “No, you’ll be kissing me.”

___________________________________________________________

Shen yuan had a plan, that just tumbled down the great mountain of qang Cong and slammed into the water shattering like his hopes and dreams.

He had a plan as a rogue cultivator a young upstart that ran away from his scumbag master to kill Shen Qingqiu.

Shen yuan liked this world, he liked the beasts and fuana if Luo Binghe became a tyrant and merged the two realms he would be so fucked.

He had a good job, saving humans solving mystery’s but with the merged realms and more monsters the humans would be overwhelmed and he would have more work!

He was lazy in nature! His soul reason I’m loving was minimum effort!

Of course he would get attacked on his way to qing peak.

Of course a disciple with no bedside manner took him in and Shen yuan realised he was too early. Shen Qingqiu wasn’t a peak lord yet.

He had to wait so it would be better to do what Luo Bknghe did when he was rescued by the huan hua palace and become head disciple.

He would do the same thing became a qing peak disciple, not the head part being a peak lord sounds like too much work. But why was the boy Shen joy who rescued him giving him the stink eye?

From his travels and experience Shen yuan was a bit ahead of everyone else each immortal alliance he excelled at there was talk of him being the head disciple which he rejected outright.

Minimum effort.

But then there was Shen Jiu- he was grateful he saved his life. But the teenager was cruel and prickly, Shen Yuan had no idea why he was so cold but figured he should play nice to the boy that saved him.

His Peak master always made the share missions together for some bizarre reason. Shen Jiu words were cutting and if Shen Yuan didn't think this was a fictional world and that Shen Jiu was just some rude character he would've said a thing or two.

Shen Jiu always brought up how bad his cultivation was and when they sparred Shen Jiu would always go too far, turning a simple friendly sparring match into a life or death situation. Shen Jiu had a weird habit of turning things from 0-100 real quick.

Aware from the sect the two encountered a monster and barely survived. Shen Yuan was grabbed and dragged into the water- he saw Shen Jiu look on then turn around.

A cold put settled into his stomach.

Shen Jiu was leaving- he left him.

Pure panic, Shen Yuan activated a tailsmen and managed by the skin of his teeth to escape killing the beast in the process, by himself.

As he crawled back on land he gave Shen Jiu a dark look. "What is your problem?" He asked, Shen Jiu saved his life but this? This didn't make any sense. Shen Jiu face was cold as he lightly fanned his face. "You can never count on others to save you." He shut his fan turning away "You can only depend on yourself."

Shen Yuan hands clenched then unclenched. Still shaking from adrenaline and the hurt that he was going to abandoned.

He walked past and both made their way back up the mountain.

Once the Peak Master asked how it went, Shen Yuan spoke first. Call it being petty, but he always thought killing others wih kindness was way better than being confrontantional.

"Shen Jiu killed the beast, and he saved me. I wouldn't have survived if it wasn't for him."

He almost laughed since he didn't know who was shocked more, the Peak Master, the Disciples or Shen Jiu himself.

"I give Shen Jiu the full recocmendations to being head disciple, he's earned it." With that recomendation Shen Yuan breezed past to have a nice long soak he was sick of smelling like river water.

Days passed, and someone was trying to kill him.

Strangely, Shen Jiu was always there. Right as a snake lunged from his bed Shen Jiu would intercept, the axe he used broke away and almost sliced his hands, Shen Jiu grabbed it before it could do more damage.

He would've thought this suspicious, but Shen Jiu would suddenly have cuts and bruises and a strange limp- what was attacking him was targeting Shen Jiu as well.

"Whats going on?" If this was bullying it was way too overboard. Shen Jiu scoffed "Isn't it obvious? Most are fighting for the title of head disciple. Whoever is chosen becomes the next Peak Lord."

Shen Yuan didn't look amused "Of course I didn't know that I've never been part of a sect."

"Which is why you're getting the worst of it, you've barely been here and year and already they're talking of you taking the position."

Shen Yuan now looked panicked "I don't want it- I spoke to the Peak Master, she said I had no obligations." Now Shen Jiu looked at him like he was a stranger.

"You don't?"

"Why would I want to stay here? I've always traveled, and hunted beasts how can I do that if I'm stuck on a mountain?" Shen Yuan shivered at the thought, although it would be nice to have a home and somewhere to stay and not keep moving. But the paper work- he couldn't deal with that!

Shen Jiu only hummed, "Well since we're both the targets it'd be best to stay together and expose the ones responsible."

Shen Yuan frowned, what happened to counting on others?

He had no way to trust Shen Jiu, but if he was lying then best to keep your enemies close.

Shen Jiu never changed he was still a prick and his words cut deep, Shen Yuan wondered if he was a masochist. But he had to admit, the boy had a sharp mind and was clearly a strategist. In no time he exposed the disciples who were then black-listed and kicked out of the peak.

Shen Yuan barely sighed with relief, it was too close. One of them almost killed Shen Jiu, it wasn't on purpose but too close for comfort. Once Shen Yuan stepped in he cried out almost feeling his arm being ripped from it's socket. The scream stunned the other disciples as they never meant for it to go that far.

Shen Jiu was pissed and almost killed them, Shen Yuan cradled his arm, of course Shen Jiu was pissed, that was almost his neck!

Strange how they grew closer, Shen Yuan when he wasn't teaching younger disciples was working on his beastiary, there were some creatures on the mountain that wasn't mentioned- maybe it was because he was too early. He even poured everything he knew about flowers and possible sex pollen in his book as well, he had the knoledge fresh in his mind from PIDW AND from his own adventures he couldn't forget anything important.

Shen Jiu watched him lazily using his fan, Shen Yuan was strange he acted like a rick noble, easily lazing around and chewing on sweets like a child even though his was older. Shen Jiu would've hated him his whole life, a privaleged cultivator who was spoiled and had a care-free life.

But that wasn't the case, Shen Yuans robes were filthy and patched, he always slept with his back to the wall facing the door of their rooms, he also matched Shen Jius frantic sparring not getting upset that Shen Jiu would slip into a panic treating it as life or death almost like he understood.

And when Shen Yuan would pack away food, as if he had no clue when real food would come about again.

Signs Shen Jiu was aware off, unlike Shen Jiu who wanted to find stability and a home, Shen Yuan was flighty like he couldn't stay still in one place. Once he realised he was an idiot who had no dellusions of becoming Peak Lord did Shen Jiu relax. He almost felt bad for bribing those Disciples to scare Shen Yuan away and had to pretend they were acting on their own.

He already left a bad impression on the boy once, he didn't favour doing it again. This was someone who actually looked at him, without guilt like Yue Qingyuan, or disgust like Liu Qingge.

Shen Jiu sighed as he stared at the sleeping form of Shen Yuan. He didn't feel bad but felt that he couldn't continue with how he was acting.

Shen Yuan had a dry sense of humour, and he was just as mean as he was, if it wasn't for their rocky start he could almost say they could've been friends.

Shen Yuan had no such qualms and was fine with Shen Jiu being Prickly and found he liked his company, both had a love of fans, literature and tea and since Shen Jiu always squirelled away the best of sweets Shen Yuan found himself in his company.

On the night that they announced the new head Disciple did Shen Yuan relax and stretched thank GOD this nightmare will soon be over!

He'll just wait here for a couple of years for the arrival of Shen Qingqiu and just discretely assasinate him then be on his way! Easy!

“I announce Shen Jiu to be our Head Disciple of Qing Jing Peak, Here we bestow the name as new peak lord Shen Qingqiu!”

Shen yuans clapping and proud face stiffened.

What?

He couldn’t kill Shen j- Qingqiu! He would rather die- okay change of plans be here to stop Shen from bullying Luo binghe he can fix this garbage story!

_________________________________________________________

When Shen Qingqiu tossed Luo Binghe into the abyss he had a good reason.

He grabbed Luo Binghes robes shoving him closer towards the edge “Listen you brat!” He hissed quickly, before Shen Yuan could get to them.

“Thousands of masters have lost their disciples to demons! They’re dead! what would they do when they find you, a demon- here? they would accuse you of conspiracy, they’ll kill us- they’ll kill Shen yuan! So jump in and get stronger!” 

“Shen Qingqiu don’t! Don’t do it please! We can figure this out-” Both hesitated at the anguish in Shen yuans voice.

And Luo binghe was going to jump, but his shizun didn’t give him the chance and pushed his disciple in before he could blink-the bastard!

Luo Binghes face warped into a snarl he’ll pay for that, he saw Shen yuan reach out his face wretched and watched how Shen Qingqiu tugged him away from the edge.

A viscious thought that Shen Qingqiu was lying that he wanted Shen yuan for himself-

He would get out of here, he wasn’t going to die, he vowed if that’s what his old shizun wanted he'll pay him back ten-fold.

Once the rift sealed shut, he braced himself for whatever Shen Yuan would do. He expected to be hit, screamed at, called a monster-

Shen Yuan grabbed him by the robes his gaze panicked his breathing sharp and his anger strong enough to topple mountains.

“Do you know what you’ve done!?” Shen Qingqiu knew, he knew he lost Shen Yuan that he would hate Shen Qingqiu for the rest of his life-

“You’ve doomed us all! You have doomed yourself! He’s going to come back and he’ll kill you!” Shen yuan didn’t look like he was going to make him pay-

He looked afraid for him.

Shen Yuan was shaking and Shen Qingqiu was unnerved.

Months trickled by like sand and Shen yuan was a ghost calling out to Binghe only to be reminded that he was gone- dead.

He would gaze into the distance and have nightmares those easy days they had were gone and only then Did Shen Qingqiu feel guilt.

Shen yuan finally snapped out of it from Ning yingying to not grieve that the other disciples hated seeing him waste away.

That seemed to wake him up.

Shen yuan needed to save Shen Qingqiu but he had to die by Luo Binghes hands...Hmm.

Shen yuan hoped that Luo Binghe wouldn’t destroy their sect he tried everything to make sure his white lotus was happy what of it wasn’t enough would they all die because of one man?

He told Shen Qingqiu his plan, with the mushroom and all that he knew.

Shen Qingqiu held him close as Shen yuan cried “You’ve been carrying this burden for so long…” he felt like a idiot. Shen yuan pain tolerance was startling and his mask even better than his own he had visions of the future and if he was right then Shen Qingqiu was going...

Shen Qingqiu envied how Shen Yuan could adapt like water of a ducks back how he would seem so calm and collected better than Shen Qingqiu could ever manage.

__________________________________________________________

Shen yuan had to wonder why he was in the water prison with Shen Qingqiu. Apparently he was an enabler as if! He was born a few years after Shen jiu and didn’t even know him! They didn't even go to the same sect until later! All because Shen Yuan was Shen Qingqiu right hand man or something stupid.

Might as well have arrested yue qingyuan!

Then the palace mistress appeared why were they in a wife plot?

He did take Ning yingyings place by helping Luo Binghe find his jade pendent and entered his dream realm-

Both he and Shen Qingqiu ducked and dodged the whips but they still sliced their clothes Shen yuan grew tired, his without a cure acting up even with the immortal binding cables.

But Shen Qingqiu noticed distracted and the Palace mistress whip slashed Shen Yuan moved without realising moving with his back to the palace mistress facing Shen Qingqiu as his back was struck he grunted in pain.

"Shen Yuan-" The other hissed anger in his eyes and Shen Yuan fell forward with the momentum on top of Shen Qingqiu and gasped, shit he was going to kill him!

Shen Qingqiu grunted as the two collided Shen yuan grimaced then swallowed as he felt Shen Qingqiu shift, and he looked pissed.

“What is going on here?” Luo Binghe growled disposing of the palace mistress whip into the acid, he glanced at the two Shens and paused to see Shen Yuan on his top of Shen Qingqiu his face furrowed in pain as he looked up at Binghe and Shen Qingqiu in between his legs and their chests flush together glaring at Binghe.

Luo Binghe’s throat was suddenly dry.

Shen Qingqiu scoffed and shifted, it only made Shen Yuan slip further with a yelp. his leg rising in between the others legs. Shen Qingqiu figured his mistake as Shen Yuan straddled his legs looking panicked.

 Luo Bonghe approached helping Shen yuan “Let me-“ shen yuan flinched jostling and Luo binghes claws ripped through his robes- the palace mistress whip was aimed more towards him for some reason unaware how Luo Bonghe always spoke of shen yuan and she was jealous.

------

Shen Qingqiu saw Shen yuan shivering and binghes robe tucked around his body. Shen Qingqiu felt seething rage.

“Come here,” he stretched his arms and pulled Shen Yuan to his lap “sleep.” 

The boy was wrecked practically stressed, and fidgeted in shen Qingqiu lap. The man breathed evenly through his nose trying not to react mediating while he waited for Shen Yuans shivers to die down.

Xiao gongyi saw them in this state and paled.

“Shen yuan you have a message.” Once shen gazed up at him did the Huan hua disciple speak. “Shang Qinghua says he’s sorry he couldn’t take care of your plants and that they died, it was too early for them.” 

Shen yuans face was stricken eyes brimming with tears.

Shen yuan was always strong, he never showed emotion unless it was really dire! Was his plants really that important?

“Is master shen alright?” 

Shen Qingqiu saw his chance his gaze narrowing “Lord Luo Binghe’s hospitality isn’t really so accommodating.” He said pointedly glancing down at the man in his lap.

Xiao gonglyis expression paled at the duress of Shen yuan, his ripped robes his shaking and open tearful face.

Luo Binghe was really Dispicable.

Shen Qingqiu was internally preening, and this was why he was the strategist.

The Huan hua ex-head disciple helped them escape and noticed Shen Yuans limp- from sitting in Shen Qingqius lap but it really helped sell it.

He was confused when xiao gonglyi gave him his robes “Thank you Xiao this really helps.” Shen yuan spoke with gratitude and Shen Qingqiu had to wonder if shen yuan was doing this on purpose or was really oblivious.

Of course they get kidnapped by a giant snake! And taken to the demon realm and used as hostages for Luo Binghe to trade his Xin Mo sword.

Shen Yuan rolled his eyes "As if he would trade that for us- you're wasting your time."

So its a less one sided slaughter, I really just wanna give Lqg a fighting chance.

This however confuses the hell out of sqq before his five year long mudbath and sqh because what do you mean the protagonist is actually loosing?!

Its still a strugle dont get me wrong but it'll end with them playing an extreme version capture the shizun flag.
