This is an alternative universe where the ritual in the last arc actually succeeds and Bai Li Wei ascends from a powerful ghost into a demonic spirit.
We’re going by vampire rules here where the most powerful vampires can walk under the sun without being burnt because the winners of the goddamn multiple choice quiz somehow voted for the beach holiday theme which is honestly the least compatible with the Bai Li Wei pairing orz
This is the result thanks to the winners of that small discord multiple choice question quiz thing. They got to vote for the pairing of this extra (Li Guiren x Bai Li Wei x Tian Shun), the theme (the beach), a kink (author’s choice).
Thank you @Dinosauric Apple Demon, @Alina_R, @ali, @reesowo, and @Daoist sword edge… for winning and then being very indecisive over what to pick resulting in the most incompatible pairing and theme possible. That didn’t make things difficult for this author at all. ಠ_ಠ
Anyway, it turns out smut is hard and this ended up being longer than I thought so here’s only the first part of this special extra ah. There should be three parts focusing a little more on Li Guiren, Tian Shun, and then a threesome.
Also don’t think too hard about time period or whatever. Because this author sure as hell didn’t.
I will also be writing a Sefu Farrell beach holiday extra eventually as well. It’s not what the readers want. But it’s what I want dammit.
Also I deserve a ko-fi donation, this was so goddamn long. Please guys. Please.
Here we go~

…
“Wei Wei, are you okay?” Li Guiren asks cautiously, glancing next to him as he continues to drive down an unfamiliar road.
“Urp…” Jia Hyson gags a little, his hand delicately pressed to his mouth as his already pale skin becomes even paler. With the ritual more or less a success and his power grown exponentially higher, the skill [I can’t believe it’s not human] has also strengthened and now when he uses the skill he’s practically a real human again, albeit one who has a tendency to sunburn very easily.
And thus, the dreaded motion sickness has come back.
Jia Hyson: ‘This isn’t logical.’
Bebe: ‘Why would you say that?’
Jia Hyson: ‘If we include my original life, that makes three lives I’ve lived that get motion sick on long drives. This can’t be a coincidence. This is clearly a sick and awful running gag at my expense and I won’t stand for this sort of inhumanity!’ (ﾉಥ益ಥ）ﾉ ┻━┻
Bebe: ‘…’ Says the ghost who entered the realm of demons after massacring a bunch of high schoolers.
Yes, Jia Hyson, who had originally bullshitted about breaking past the limits of an evil ghost and becoming a demon with that previous ritual, actually became a demon. Apparently burning the majority of the protagonists in the story and absorbing their negative energies and despair was a great panacea. Coupled with the soul of the Worldbreaker, Jia Hyson had unexpectedly done the impossible.
Unfortunately the impossible doesn’t seem to do much for his stupid nausea.
“…Here.” A quiet, hoarse voice mumbles behind Jia Hyson’s seat, and a trembling hand offers him some painkillers.
Jia Hyson takes them gratefully. Even though there won’t be much of an effect, he’s still happy at the consideration. “Thank you Xiao Shun.”
Tian Shun doesn’t reply. Jia Hyson takes a peek behind him and sees the teenager looking gloomily out the window, his body curled up and practically pressed into the corner of the car as if he wished to be swallowed into the upholstery. Jia Hyson can’t help but sigh softly.
Ever since the ritual Tian Shun had become increasingly reclusive and silent.
Then again, it is a bit awkward to hang around after doing something like trying to murder your crush and sticking them into your shadow to be by your side forever- and failing.
Jia Hyson remembers when he was still young, introverted and in the closet he had once tripped onto the senior he had been infatuated with and accidentally drooled when he was stuttering out his apologies. After that he had wanted to die and would rather run to the teacher’s lounge and beg for more homework than to run into that senior ever again. Even hundreds of years later that incident still made him embarrassed half to death.
If he was forced to hang out with that senior almost immediately after that, he’s pretty sure he would have straight up killed himself.
Of course, tripping and drooling, and stabbing and failing in forcibly binding one’s soul together, were two very different things but the level of awkwardness in the aftermath were strangely similar.
He sighs helplessly. Seriously. What was he meant to do? Tell Tian Shun that they’ll be okay and let it go? Because to be frank, he was still more than a little upset about it.
However he was somehow even more upset about Tian Shun’s sulky self loathing attitude. Seeing him constantly wracked with guilt and anxiety made Jia Hyson uncomfortable and unhappy inside.
Even if at the beginning he felt a sort of sick, twisted pleasure at his despair and loathing, this was still his Xiao Shun. He couldn’t stay completely unaffected by this long term.
“Don’t bother with him, I don’t know why you wanted to bring him after all he’s done to you.” Li Guiren who had noticed Jia Hyson’s gaze, had a very ugly expression on his face. If it wasn’t for that bastard, if he hadn’t had come in time, Wei Wei might’ve…. the thought was too painful to bear thinking of.
Tian Shun flinched violently and his head lowered even further. His jagged nails, now abused from being bitten and gnawed on due to new habits brought by anxiety and depression, were digging into his pallid skin. Before he had a confident, predatory alpha male handsomeness but after understanding what he had almost done, how his selfish and disgusting thoughts to break and monopolize Bai Li Wei actually almost killed him, Tian Shun had become thinner and sickly from staying in his room.
It had taken Jia Hyson two months to quietly coax him out for this trip and he swore it would’ve been faster if it wasn’t for Li Guiren who refused to help. Really. Once a bear child always a bear child.
“Xiao Ren, that is your son,” Jia Hyson hisses. His heart felt very stuffy. This family turmoil is the fault of everyone involved. If Jia Hyson had fought harder on getting Li Guiren to bring Tian Shun back. If Li Guiren hadn’t sent Tian Shun away in the first place. If they had visited Tian Shun even once..!
You can blame a child for doing something bad but you can’t blame the child alone. Usually it’s the parents and other external factors who have a hand in influencing their behaviors and thought processes to what it is today.
Jia Hyson has always believed in this idea. That in the argument of nature vs nurture, a human’s character will always be more inherently affected by the nurture aspect with only some exceptions. So how could he not blame himself a bit for his bystander like role in warping Tian Shun’s personality?
However Li Guiren held no such complications in his heart. He had known long ago this ‘son’ of his was just another part of the other personality. He was something to be disliked and loathed. A rival at best, an enemy at worst.
And if someone like that almost killed the one you fell in love with, then how can he not hate him?
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
To Li Guiren, Tian Shun was less of a son and more like a tumor that he wished he could cut off and burn. No matter how cruel it was, at his core he was still a part of a system and despite being raised human for this lifetime, once he reawakens even partially it is difficult to ignore the natural superiority and utilitarianism views that a royal system is created with. It was a pity that he couldn’t explain this to Wei Wei even if he wanted to.

Seeing Tian Shun curled up, silent and pale… there was a complex mix of pity and glee brimming in his chest. After all this was the personality his own personality abhorred enough to wish to separate from. But at the same time it was still someone that had shared the original system mainframe with him for who knows how long. Even if he only has a vague feeling of dissatisfaction and unhappiness toward the other, there is still an innate familiarity and sense of unity there. It’s hard to explain.
“Tsk, whatever,” Li Guiren grumbles. This is their first big trip with Wei Wei as a demon. After dealing with the mess they made, Li Guiren finally got to apply for some time precious paid leave. It wouldn’t do to pursue the subject further and ruin the already delicate mood.
A hand lightly touches his arm, a silent thank you for backing down. The skin is cool but to Li Guiren it felt warmer than the sun in his heart.
How long has it been since Wei Wei could so easily touch him like this?
Despite being a middle aged man who has seen the vicissitudes of life and was even once married, Li Guiren blushed under a single touch from Bai Li Wei.
The corner of Jia Hyson’s mouth quirked up in faint amusement and affection. Really ah, still a child.
Meanwhile in the backseat, silver eyes gloomily watch the pair act intimately like a couple on their honeymoon. Unlike him who was sent away at a young age, Wei Wei and Li Guiren had practically lived together for decades. It would be weird not to act so familiar, to convey emotions with a soft touch, a tacit understanding through their eyes and such easy agreement.
If only he was the one who was given the role of Li Guiren… then… then wouldn’t the person driving the car, being so happy with Wei Wei be him?
Tian Shun’s eyes redden and his lips pull up in a self deprecating sneer. No, that sort of thinking is only delusional. A weak excuse. Li Guiren is just an empty name. Wei Wei likes Li Guiren because it’s that foolish idiotic personality playing Li Guiren. He won’t like Li Guiren if it was himself.
No one would like him for himself.
…he doesn’t blame them.
Tian Shun lets out a shaky sigh. He really wants to give up and leave. Even though he won’t be able to gain what he needs if he doesn’t live out this body’s natural lifespan, it’s simply one failure out of many successes. He’s sure he would compensate it in the next body.
To wipe away these memories and live in another life, completely unaware of this pain… it was too tempting.
However, Tian Shun’s eyes flicker with weak determination. He wasn’t willing to back down. As long as there’s still a chance, as long as Wei Wei and Li Guiren dont officially announce their relationship, he will stay and wait for an opportunity to strike.
He may not have that fool’s courage or perseverance, but he has calculation and patience.
That had to mean something.
…He hopes he means something.
…
“Hello, welcome to the-” The bellhop who opened the passenger door gasps.
The Cold Sands Hotel was a luxurious four star hotel, famous for it’s beautiful beachside view, various fun services like scuba diving and parasailing, top quality service and a price that, while expensive, is not impossible for the middle class to splurge on. There are many minor celebrities and internet icons who choose to enter through the doors as well as relatively wealthy families.
The bellhop has been working here proudly for three years and had always felt like he had seen all the pretty flowers that could be seen. The sweet white lotus, the fiery little sister type, the mature older sister… each had their own unique flavour in beauty with their own pros and cons depending on your preferences.
However, the person who came out of that car could only be described as a true beauty!
Long silky black hair that flows down freely, curling around pale skin. The skin while not a sickly white or anything, had a strangely entrancing untouched smoothness to it that gave off the strange impression that it could be made of porcelain. So delicate and breakable, it made people feel their darker urges being stimulated with a single glance at the skin alone.
And yet these two attributes, which alone can put all the previous celebrities and pampered little princesses who lived off beauty products to shame, were not even the most beautiful aspects of this new guest.
Those delicate facial features, feminine yet held a trace of masculinity that gave the person a mature yet fragile appearance. Those mysteriously dark red eyes that drew people in, the slight slant of the eyelids giving the other a bored yet seductive look. Thin but soft looking lips that are held in a natural pout, the faint pinkness contrasting against the skin made it difficult to look away. The nose.. those ears… the neck…. shoulders… hands……..
Beautiful! So beautiful!
The bellhop could feel his heart racing, how could such a beautiful person exist?! He wants to woo her, to serenade her and spoil her! He wants to, he wants to..
He wants to cut her into pieces and consume her as slow as possible!
Unlike those other tasteless whores, he’ll make sure to savour her, to cook her well and give her the thought and effort and pain she deserves.
Jia Hyson, used to people being silenced by his looks now, merely gives the bellhop a faint smile and nod before stepping out of the car. Ever since he had upgraded, he had found that not only has his appearance, which was already beautiful enough to attract cultists, improved, so has his ability to attract the dark and depraved.
There’s various demonic constitutions which give different effects but this demonic constitution seems to provoke desire and stimulates the awful perverse hidden side of others through his beauty. Jia Hyson didn’t really think too much of it. After all, this body’s beauty stat was so high it made a group of people want to torture and burn him alive ah. In his opinion, this appearance already stimulates the heart demons inside men and women, his demonic upgrade merely improved the effect.
The bellhop had already gone half mad with desire and want. It seemed that the more perverted a person’s three views were, the more easily stimulated they become, especially if they don’t have good self control and restraint. Jia Hyson however just treated the man as air, subconsciously absorbing some of the dark aura as he passes by.
While he was a little interested in whatever demented obsession this man had, he was on holiday ah. It wouldn’t do to cut it off so quickly just because he wanted to play a little bit with the hotel staff.
Ironically, or maybe not so after some deeper thought, after becoming a demon, some of his emotions had come back to him. Jia Hyson once again was capable of being considerate and able to bond with other people.
Before he would have abused the bellhop to death and let Li Guiren deal with the aftermath like usual, however now he can fell guilt, albeit not much, but for the two radishes he raised practically since birth how can he not spare his limited feelings for them?
Still though… Jia Hyson activates [Hair Control] and pulls a strand of hair from his head, letting it go absentmindedly. Unbeknownst to anyone, the hair which should have fallen down to the ground was drifting abnormally slowly, almost floating, until it reached the bellhop’s shoes. The moment it reached its target it curled up and obediently trapped itself there.
Becoming a demon didn’t mean he lost his ghost skills but simply added on demon skills as well. His ability to see into the heart was even better than before. And as easily as looking down a recently used sewage pipe, he can see the disgusting mess inside this young man’s heart.
As long as he can torture him outside the hotel that should be fine right?
…
Despite the unfortunate bellhop, most of the staff were pretty good quality. Other than being dazzled by Jia Hyson’s beauty, and feeling strong lust and desire which was pretty normal, there wasn’t any obvious darkness that he had noticed. The guests in the lobby were a bit more mixed in responses but it wasn’t enough for Jia Hyson to specially take note of.
However while Jia Hyson could ignore it, could the two yanderes behind him do it too?
Of course not!
Too be honest if this was any other situation, Li Guiren and Tian Shun, this troublesome father-son pair, would be the center of attention. Li Guiren has the rugged looks of a mature action movie star, the type with explosive muscles that aren’t off putting yet also unable to completely hide under a suit.
Meanwhile Tian Shun, if you ignore the current gloomy state, had taken a bit more of his mother’s looks, and become an aristocratic and elegant young scholar in the making. No matter what school he was in, whether it was that American horror boarding school or the now closed up high school of the deceased main character’s, Tian Shun’s appearance and cool temperament made him easily the school grass in everyone’s eyes!
Both were high quality men. Unfortunately Bai Li Wei not only was a top quality man that ranked above everyone in appearance he also had a bewitching demonic aura that naturally enhanced his beauty by 200%. It was really unfair but who told Jia Hyson to break the shackles and ascend into such an OP being in a more or less modern world?
Fortunately, this OP being was very happy to maintain the status quo and was currently uninterested in trying to make the world bow down under his pomegranate skirt*.
*Using his looks and charm to make people submit and grovel at his feet and be wrapped up around his finger essentially.
Still, that didn’t stop Li Guiren and Tian Shun from guzzling vinegar like alcoholics at a wine tasting event.
Seeing everyone’s eyes of awe and lust and appreciation on their Wei Wei made them wish they could kill everyone there and gouge out their dirty eyes for good measure. After all, if they somehow become ghosts, at least they’ll be blind ones!
Li Guiren while handsome was still a fifty year old, relatively ordinary man. His natural constitution was already so strong he didn’t dare to go to the monasteries to try cultivate it lest he completely obliterate Wei Wei with his presence so other than military training and daily exercise, there was no supernatural way he could retain all his youthful good looks.
Tian Shun, while having the capability to be a male god in school, was partially with the help of his supporting male lead halo. He was good looking and with an elegant yet domineering temperament but to be honest, it’s not as if that was an uncommon trait. Frankly, there were better looking people out there with much better personalities in the world. Plus now he has that gloominess and unkempt, depressed appearance that lowered his face value by at least two points.
Neither man seemed to fit well by Bai Li Wei’s side. Too old, too young, and neither had the powerful domineering aura of a protagonist. They were like a red amaryllis and a sea holly, both unique and entrancing to the eye but there was no gardener who would feel they were lovely and suitable enough to be planted next to the Queen of the Night*.
*A type of cactus with a really gorgeous white flower shaped similar to a water lily. It’s flower blooms rarely- generally on summer nights in June and July- and only during nighttime before wilting at sunrise. My house has a few hehe.
As individuals aware of their true identity, they were able to see this appearance gap unbiasedly, and insecurity naturally festers in their hearts. Their Wei Wei was so beautiful and kindhearted and charismatic, but at the same time their Wei Wei was fickle and selfish and got bored easily. Who could say that he would one day leave them for greener pastures?
It was a just bearable before but in this hotel full of small celebrities and rich beautiful people the jealousy and possessiveness in their hearts were stimulated more than usual.
The moment the receptionist handed them their room keys, Li Guiren snatched them up and Tian Shun hurried Jia Hyson into the closest elevator. Despite being so at odds with each other, their movements were almost perfectly synchronized.
Li Guiren and Tian Shun: ‘Go, go, go!’
Jia Hyson: ‘?’ But they were about to talk about the complimentary spa package ah! Wait! My fucking free massage! ErKanghand.jpeg
…
The hotel room was actually a suite. Jia Hyson felt a little dazed looking at such familiar yet unfamiliar luxury. Even though it wasn’t the most extravagant hotel room he’d ever been to, compared to the doll room, the hunted house and the new apartment they had moved into after the whole highschool haunted house massacre thing, it was enough to make Jia Hyson want to weep.
Li Guiren’s salary in law enforcement wasn’t big okay?! Even though he was considerably better paid than others, compared to the high standard of living Jia Hyson had been accustomed to in the later half of his past lives.
The only reason why they got this amazing holiday trip without digging a hole through their wallets was because out of the very few survivors that made it out of the massacre, Li Guiren had saved all of them, practically throwing them out of the house every time he met a straggler.
While that may be a bit exaggerated, it was true that he burst open the previously mysteriously closed and impossible to open entrance door and that the ghost who recognized his aura would instinctively ignore or avoid it. Each person he bumped into or touched would rub off a bit of his strong yang aura and became more or less saved from being attacked by the ghosts.
Li Guiren was regarded as a savior and a overprotective father in the community now. If he hadn’t felt so worried about his own son who was always so dutiful in coming home the moment school ends (to see Wei), to the point he’s constantly watching over him and will feel uncomfortable when he didn’t know where he was (in case the brat was doing something with Wei while he was gone), then he wouldn’t have rushed to the haunted house to bring Tian Shun home and thus being just in time to discover the tragedy and do what he can to save the children!
In order to reward him, the government gave him a medal of valor and an all expenses paid vacation at this hotel. They also gave him a pay raise and a promise of a possible promotion.
Really, tsk, tsk, Jia Hyson is the last person to say this but it’s almost unfair how bad things happen to good people and such good things happen to bad people ah.
Bad person Jia Hyson: ‘Hey, do you think if we kill off some university students we can get a penthouse suite with an indoor jacuzzi next time?’
Bebe: ‘Bebe thinks the police would be more suspicious than grateful the second time round to be honest.’
Jia Hyson: ‘Tch.’ He could really use a week with an indoor jacuzzi.
Bebe: ‘…’ Bebe already knew this but you really have a problem don’t you? 눈_눈
“This is better than I expected,” Li Guiren can’t help but sigh out in satisfaction. Given how stingy the budget usually is for law enforcement he had expected something much worse.
Tian Shun grunts in agreement, walking in to the room last.
Li Guiren gives him a disgusted look, making Tian Shun lower his head. With a disdainful snort, the older man walks over to find Wei who was looking through all the rooms, missing the clenched shaking hands of his son.
There were two beds in the suite, one king sized and a single bed. Jia Hyson who had already run around to explore, lightly sat on the single bed, idly touching the pillows to determine their softness.
You know a hotel room is of good quality from their pillows. In his opinion there should be at least one that’s a little firmer and good for neck support and another that is softer and huggable. It would be great to have a third or fourth pillow to put in between your legs and as a spare but then again, that’s really more of a preference than anything else, tsk.
“That’s not where you’ll be sleeping,” Li Guiren chuckles, “Didn’t you say before that you wanted to relax on a big king sized bed while looking at the sea when I asked you about picking the rooms?”
Jia Hyson turns to the large window where the beach was easy to be seen from with shining eyes. He only said that half-jokingly before amending that any room was fine back then, it turns out his Xiao Ren took it to heart and specifically arranged a room to his tastes.
What a sweetie.
“Then where would you two sleep ah?” Jia Hyson asks with some concern. There were only two beds after all.
“Of course the brat will sleep on the single bed and I,” Li Guiren threw his backpack onto the large bed with a childishly wide smile, “will sleep with you.”
Jia Hyson: ‘How shameless… I like it.’ (´,,•ω•,,)♡
Of course as an upstanding demonic parental figure, he can’t just so easily accept such cheekiness.
Bebe: ‘Did you forget your [Corrupter of Children] skill already?’
Jia Hyson: ‘I raised a policeman!’ That has to mean something okay?
Bebe: ‘Yeah. A corrupt policeman.’ (¬_¬)
With an amused, doting smile, he flicks the detective’s forehead like when he was a naughty child, “Stinky brat,” He playfully scolds, “As a grown man, don’t you feel ashamed sleeping with your father at this age?”
Li Guiren laughs, giving him a mischievous and flirty look that made Jia Hyson a little dazed. “Wei Wei, you aren’t my father, nor do I see you as one. But if you really want to, this one is willing to call you daddy ah.”
Jia Hyson was unprepared for such a coquettish remark and was unable to stop himself from flushing a little. Not only does this little dumpling seem sweeter than before but also quite saucy ah.
Tian Shun who felt like a lightbulb sourly gave his father, this flirtatious slut, a cold glare before silently moving his own backpack to the single bed. His only solace was both beds were in the same room so even if that fool did manage to seize Wei Wei’ heart, at the very least they won’t do anything together at night while he’s there.
And if his scum dad really does make a move, well, hehe. Don’t blame this lightbulb from shining brightly.
Smirking to himself while imagining Li Guiren’s frustrated expression, he didn’t notice Jia Hyson had separated from the ambiguous atmosphere created with his scum dad until he noticed the side of his bed had dipped slightly.
Turning his head, silver eyes find its way to Jia Hyson’s wine red ones, blinking lazily at him. Tian Shun, despite acting so domineeringly and arrogantly in his head a few moments ago, found his throat closing up in anxiety at the sight of Wei. He quickly looks away.
Ever since then, after what he had done, what he had almost done… he really… really couldn’t find the courage to face Wei Wei.
Jia Hyson ignores Tian Shun’s uncomfortable look and merely gives him a sweet, gentle smile. “Xiao Shun, why don’t we all go check out the beach okay? The weather looks really good and I’ve never been to the sea before.”
Tian Shun wavers under Jia Hyson’s attention, eyes flickering to the beautiful demon yearningly. Of course he wants to go, it’ll give him a chance to spend time with Wei, he should accept but…
Clenching his hands until his nails pierced the flesh of his palm until they almost drew blood, Tian Shun gives Jia Hyson a weak, faint smile. “It’s fine. Someone should wait for the rest of the luggage to come up anyway.”
Jia Hyson stares at him, the smile on his face fading somewhat making Tian Shun inexplicably more guilty but at the same time more afraid to say anything more. “Are you sure? The service here seems good, if anything goes wrong we’ll just contact the hotel staff when we come back.”
“..No, it’s fine.” Tian Shun mumbles, “I’ll stay.”
Jia Hyson sighs. He can see the demons in the young man’s heart but that didn’t mean he knew how to solve them. Even in his original life, he was always the person who drove people to blacken rather than be the person to help ease the heart. It wasn’t that he was incapable, his EQ is high and his ability to coax was good too, with time and a healthy dose of sugar things will generally work out. However that can only happen when the person in question is willing to take that step.
“If he says he’s fine he’s fine,” Li Guiren waves off, he had already gone to get changed so he was now expectantly waiting at the doorway. “Don’t worry Wei Wei, I’ll accompany you.”
“Is this really fine?” Jia Hyson once more asks.
“En,” Tian Shun nods.
“..Okay.” With another sigh, Jia Hyson stands up and quickly goes to the bathroom with his backpack to change his clothing leaving Tian Shun and Li Guiren alone.
There was an awkward silence between them.
Finally Tian Shun couldn’t take the tension anymore. Usually he was cool and collected and could outlast the relatively more hotheaded older detective on a good day but his recent mental state was really not too good. Not to mention, he was in a weaker position in almost every way compared to Li Guiren so the pressure on him was greater.
“You must be very happy huh?” Tian Shun sneers. “Somehow you became a real winner in this life.”
Li Guiren’s temper which had been refined over the years of law enforcement immediately regressed in front of his ‘good son’, “That’s not true, you’re in my life aren’t you?” He shoots back.
“Well don’t be so arrogant, it’s not like I stuck around for you old man.”
They both pause. Both of them knew why Tian Shun was still here, and the reason for that was still nearby. It wouldn’t do for him to overhear them.
Li Guiren scratched his chin and coughed, “You… stop making Wei Wei so sad. Either leave or make up with him.”
Tian Shun felt the familiar nausea, self-loathing and nervousness claw inside him. It made it almost impossible to breathe. “I- I’m surprised you’re even giving me an option.” He mutters snidely, but his attitude is weaker than before.
Looking at the rather pathetic sight of the other, Li Guiren clicks his tongue. “Wei Wei would probably be sadder if you left. And..” He coughs lightly again, “I suppose that, no matter what, you are technically a part of me in various ways. I wouldn’t feel comfortable seeing you leave in such a, ah, pitiful way or whatever.”
“Heh,” Tian Shun snorts derisively.
Li Guiren’s eyebrow twitched in his irritation. Damn brat. Really unwilling to make things easy. However, after so long being told off by Wei, he really did start feeling a little guilty in his heart. After all, if he hadn’t purposely sent Tian Shun to the worst school overseas with the highest rate of mysterious deaths and hauntings, the original personality wouldn’t have warped so badly in the first place and caused him to be so extreme to the point of endangering Wei Wei’s safety.
Of course, he did this with the intention to kill the kid but unfortunately the supporting main character halo was surprisingly stronger than expected given the quality of the plot it relies on.
Still.. now that it seems Tian Shun has almost zero chance of a comeback and Wei Wei is now no longer so affected by his yang constitution ever since he ascended, he was too lazy to treat the other with enmity. Even though he didn’t like Tian Shun, he was willing to push his old and new grievances toward the bastard aside and cultivate a somewhat friendly relationship.
And considering their true identities and the history they shared, that was really a big concession to make.
But for Wei Wei’s happiness he’ll let bygones be bygones.
Oh wow this extra is giving a better insight into the royal system’s thinking huh.
Was the poll on the CG discord? How do I always miss these kinds of things (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
