Now the bet was mentioned, this matter had to be traced back to the Jianghu world. When Fan Yuan was still Bai Yuan, he and his “tyrannical daddy” lived together in their own world of two within the demonic sect, just like an immortal couple that was cause for envy. They busied themselves daily with discovering new locations and postures.
It was said that one night when the winds were blowing high and the enchanting moon hung high in the sky, the sect leader-daren held his precious son and headed for the altar of the demonic sect’s sacrificial platform. That was the highest location in all of the demonic sect. Standing there, one could have a panoramic view of the scenery of the entire Canglang mountain. It was truly more beautiful than one could absorb.
However, it was obvious that they didn’t come here to enjoy the scenery. Through the years, the sacrificial platform was the place where sacrifices would be offered to the ancestors, being sacred and solemn. Although there was no one around, it still made people feel nervous.
Fan Yuan donned an outer robe and the inside of it was chilly. When he thought of what Yan Rui was going to do towards him, he was inevitably excited. Yan Rui immediately saw through what this little demon was thinking. Swiftly, he removed the outer robe and spread it on the ground before pressing Fan Yuan down on top of it.
When they had lost themselves in the joy of being with their true love, two young disciples engaged in a love affair came along. Fan Yuan almost lost his soul when he heard the sudden sound, and his body let out a tremble as he came on Yan Rui’s hand. When Yan Rui noticed that Fan Yuan’s place was shrinking, his gaze became growingly deep. Instead of stopping, he became even more intense.
Afraid of making a sound, Fan Yuan endured with all his life. All Yan Rui felt was that he had never been so enchanted, so how could he stop? Even if all the members of the demonic sect appeared right now, they better not think of stopping him. At most, he would just kill those people afterwards.
Only till the two disciples left, Fan Yuan finally scolded in a disjointed manner, “Yan Rui, damn pervert……. You aren’t allowed to follow me to the next world!”
Yan Rui was working hard as he asked, “Why? Did you not feel good just now?”
Of course not! Under the stimulation of extreme tension in the mind, all the pleasure was magnified. Indeed, he felt good, but now was not the time to reason. Fan Yuan hummed, “No ‘why’s! Anyway, you aren’t allowed to follow me. If you violate this agreement, then you……you have to be pushed down by me later! I’m always the one bottoming! ”
He placed a strong emphasis on the last sentence.
Yan Rui finally knew what difficulty he was dealing with. He buried his face in Fan Yuan’s shoulder and begged for mercy, “Baby, you’re willing to leave me? A world’s mission is so long — you’re able to hold on?”
As he spoke, he gently stroked Fan Yuan’s slender waist. Fan Yuan held back his shudder and glared at him with a dark expression, “If you don’t want to part, let me top once……”
Before he could finish speaking those words, Yan Rui had mercilessly sealed his lips with a kiss. What came after was a fierce battle through the night.
After that day, none of them brought it up again. Even Yan Rui thought that Fan Yuan had forgotten it. Who knew, the little guy held his hand before their life’s end and patiently reminded, “Don’t forget our bet. If you violate it, I will be the one on top from then on.”
With that, he left the world. Yan Rui gnashed his teeth in hatred, but then again he didn’t dare to go against Fan Yuan’s wishes directly. Now listening to Fan Yuan retell what happened, he truly didn’t have any moves left to defend himself.
Seeing Yan Rui’s vexed appearance, Fan Yuan felt extremely dissatisfied. He spoke in a righteous way, “Men should be responsible. In the future, I will be the head of this family. You have to be my wife, not only in this world, but also in the future. Do you hear me?”
Yan Rui pinched his face and the colour within his eyes turned deeper. How did he fall in love with such a boisterous little guy? However, he just couldn’t bear to say such harsh words, so wasn’t he just asking to be bullied? Just as he was thinking about how to perfunctorily get past this, suddenly, he saw the time indicator on the side.

As soon as Yan Rui glanced back, he saw Fan Yuan sitting there smiling sillily , and he felt somewhat helpless.
He has always known that Fan Yuan was particularly sensitive to the word “home”, or to be more exact, persistent, so he was more than happy to fulfill all his requirements for a family, including parental love, love between partners and love for children. As long as he wanted it, Yan Rui would satisfy it.
However, the matter of reversing roles to be a gong remained to be discussed.
*******************
When Yan Rui arrived at the examination site, Fan Yuan didn’t follow him out. This test was about mental strength. If he stayed at the exam site, it was easy for others to misunderstand. After all, it was way too easy for Fan Yuan to interfere with the examinees if he wished to.
He turned on his optical computer to watch the live broadcast, but accidentally opened the real-time commenting page. With wide eyes in a daze, he stared as the comments covered the video in a flash, and they kept coming without any interruptions.
“Oh my god, to think that my legs have gone weak from looking at an Omega! I don’t deserve to be an Alpha!”
“The second man after Marshal Lawson to completely defy the factor of gender! Warren, you are Omegas’ pride!”
“Didn’t anyone notice that the Marshal didn’t follow? He must not be able to get up. After all, Warren’s physical strength is predicted SSS grade [picking nose]”
“Is Warren actually the first Omega in history to be a gong to a Beta?”
“Hohoho! I told you Marshal is a shou! The iceberg queen shou!!”
…………
With a shudder, Fan Yuan turned off the real-time comments. The scene that he saw last as he closed it was a full screen of “Marshal is a shou“……
These Internet mobs……Fan Yuan was so annoyed that he almost vomited blood. He looked at Yan Rui who was in the middle of the screen indifferently, thinking in his heart, laozi must top you this time!
Yan Rui seemed to sense something, directing a slight smile at the camera. As an Omega, his appearance was obviously not outstanding enough, his face was not soft and gentle enough, and his figure was not petite enough. But when one regarded him as a Beta or even an Alpha, he was absolutely charming.
In particular, his powerful aura was enough to make people ignore his appearance. Few people dared to associate him with the word Omega as long as they had seen him with their own eyes.
At this moment, such a man had stingily shown a blossoming smile in front of the camera, causing many people to hold their breath as they waited for what followed. This happened because almost everyone knew that Warren Howell was expressionless, except in front of one person.
He mouthed four words lightly and the whole scene turned into an uproar, including the audience watching said scene with their optical computers. The real-time comments that had never stopped all this while instantly came to a standstill. All of them were shocked by this scene. The words “Marshal is a shou” floated slowly across the screen and stood out in an extremely awkward way.
Yan Rui mouthed, “Hubby, wait for me.”
Fan Yuan’s initial rampaging mood immediately calmed, and the corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably. But in the end, he just nodded slightly, regardless of whether the other party could see it or not.
Yan Rui secretly let out a sigh of relief. If things continued based on what had occurred just now, he would have to suffer when he got home. It didn’t matter what he looked like in other people’s eyes, he still had to pamper his own wife.
The rest of the candidates looked at him in disbelief. In this era, the strong were respected. No matter what their gender was, as long as they were strong enough, they could be in a dominant position. This was the default rule everyone followed. Otherwise, Ivan Lawson wouldn’t have became a Federal Marshal at such a young age.
However, at this instance, this powerful man had actually admitted that he was the shou in front of the whole Federation! It was simply too brave!
A member of the younger generation of the Lawson family was also among the remaining 50 candidates. He went to Yan Rui and held out his hand to him, “Hello, I’m Gino Lawson. If we speak from blood relations, I’m the Marshal’s cousin, so you’re my aunt.”
Yan Rui heard the word “cousin” but he didn’t have much expression. However, the look in his eyes became progressively deep as he glanced at Gino Lawson’s hand with a deadpan.
Gino didn’t care to take back his hand and said with a refreshing and bright smile, “Actually, before today, I wasn’t willing to accept that you would become the madame of the Lawson family. Even if you’ve performed very well in the first two tests, I was still unconvinced, but from the four words you have just said, I’ll accept it!”
Yan Rui: “……”
Gino was unaware that someone had developed a grudge against him, and continued to talk, “Though we’re a generation apart, we’re the same age. Actually, I can understand your situation very well. Marshal isn’t very good tempered and he often scolds people. When I was a child, I don’t even know how many times I’ve been scolded by him. You must’ve suffered a lot of grievances when you married him. It’s really admirable that you’re able to face it so calmly.”
“……” Yan Rui calmly swept his gaze across him, saying, “You’d better pray that you’re not divided into a group with me.”
Gino’s spine turned cold from his gaze and he quietly took two steps back. Though he didn’t know where he went wrong, he seemed to be despised?
For the first time in his life, Yan Rui’s heart did not waver. He simply intended to let fate decide the life or death of Gino Lawson.
In the end, they were not divided into the same group. Gino didn’t know that he was lucky enough to escape a huge obstacle, and even told Yan Rui that he felt it was a pity, and that they would learn from each other by exchanging blows the next time they met.
Yan Rui nodded, his meaning profound, “Alright.”
A drop of cold sweat came as Fan Yuan watched his optical computer. Yan Rui’s gaze clearly revealed anger. He hoped that that child would not truly be stupid and actually run over to fight Yan Rui. If not, he would be party disabled even if he didn’t die.
The mental strength examination was divided into two parts. First, the 50 candidates would be divided into two groups to battle against each other. The 25 winners would be promoted directly. The remaining 25 people would take part in a repechage and the 5 victors would be selected for promotion. Finally, a new group of 30 would be formed.
The method of duel was also simple. A member of both groups would control the same C-grade mecha. Due to the fact that the mecha was a low-level type, its agility and intelligence were very low. At this juncture, the mental strength of the pilot was particularly important, as the usage of this mecha would test the level of control both sides had in terms of mental prowess and long-term endurance.
The difficulty of this exam was basically meaningless to Yan Rui. He calmly stepped into his own mecha, and when his opponent saw the situation, they consciously admitted defeat so as to preserve their strength and strive for victory during the repechage round.
As soon as the exam ended, Fan Yuan couldn’t barely wait to give his man a hug. The two left the Federal Military Academy together, and there was a burst of howling on the Internet.
On the way back, Fan Yuan lay on Yan Rui’s lap and asked him in confusion, why he had to enter the military academy?
Yan Rui manipulated the aircraft while leaving his other hand to caress Fan Yuan’s head. He said with a laugh, “Of course it’s because I want to be with you.”
With squinted eyes, Fan Yuan nuzzled against his palms and couldn’t help but laugh.
*******************
While wiping his cold sweat away, the person-in-charge of the Federal Military Academy asked in fear and trepidation, “Sir, do you want us to send you back to the military headquarters?”
Fan Yuan’s subordinate that had been left behind stared at the aircraft as it flew away into the distance before he turned around and said sincerely, “Sir, please send me to the nearby hospital’s ophthalmology department, no, to the psychiatric department. Yes, yes, it should be psychiatric.”
He was not having an eye problem at this point, he was hallucinating! If not, how did he see the Marshal lying on his wife’s lap?! Is it still hot? And he even looked so cute and helpless-looking like a little bird!!
Person-in-charge: “……”
Random side comment: The US elections are making me feel nervous!!
I wish I was the person-in-charge….US elections have been giving me a headache…haiz…
Thanks for the chapter~
And the most funny thing is they make a racket about the election but the number one hastag in the internet is about destiel being canon. 😂😂😂
When I read the cultivation setting at the beginning of the chapter, I had to go back and check whether I missed a few chapters in between after the previous one lolll
saaame.. +1
The thought that someone might become the president is really scary for a variety of reasons. There’s definitely panic where I live. The results are way too close right now. The psychiatric offices are probably full of people seeking treatment for their anxiety.
The strong antiequality in Chinese relationships really bothers me every time. Why can’t two men be treated as husbands or two women be wives? Why is there no equality between the two? I understand that this is part of their culture, but it’s really unsettling.
It also has the feeling of assigning straight gender roles to a gay couple.
God, so true. By all means, I don’t think that’s the case in real life gay couples, only in danmei and such.
Hello, also worried about the US elections. >_<
Yan Rui us scared of being the “wife” / shou / bottom. [eye roll]. Why? He never considered how Fan Yuan felt about it!.
Thanks for the chapter <3
YR is that kind of man who claim to be an alpha top/absolute top but in reality they just afraid being the one who’s but stuffed with something.
But really, YR should at least experience it once and not refusing since it’s his beloved request after all. Or YR can be an impotent in next world (＾▽＾)
Who knows… maybe YR might awaken a new door~😏
Is it possible that he is afraid once he step on it he can’t come back? Hmm…..😏
Why is shou considered the submissive one? They are considered inferior to a gong in many bl novels, series and movies. This is toxic mindset that should change.
Thx for the chapter 😘
Σ(‘◉⌓◉’) I never considered it as toxic. Isn’t it just who’s topping and who’s bottoming? Why has it become submissive and superior ah?
Although it’s not explicitly said but look at the comments where being a “wife” is considered shameful that one should hide it. There even some parts where it feels like FY want to top YR because he wants to be the “husband” and be the “head of family”. Which means he think only gong can be “head of family”
I understand what you mean. Usually I don’t care about a bl couple using husband and wife as nicknames. I even find it cute. But I feel uncomfortable when it’s used as tags to define who has a superior and inferior role in a relationship. I understand it’s a story and I shouldn’t take it seriously but it still spreads a wrong message to many people. It just doesn’t sits well with me.
Dang I couldn’t find the reply button to your comment but yuhhh I can see what you mean .-. I hope no one gets the wrong message or that’d be very sad
tbh in most IRL pairings theres no permanent gong vs shou, more all switches. its just for the novel industry i guess, since BL is mostly targeted at females. sigh I honestly find too much of it appalling though. TT_TT lets hope the tug war for the “gong” will stop trending soon.
Thanks
we are also nervous (in Russia) :”D
thanks for the chapter ♡♡♡
Aaaahhh!!!! This is so cute and sweet after the emotional rollercoaster that was the last arc 😂😂 btw, I think this sentence is a typo “ I’m the Marshal’s cousin, so you’re my aunt”, why is Yan Rui a generation above Fan Yuan when they’re married? Cousin should either be uncle or aunt should be cousin-in-law but considering the following sentences, cousin should be uncle.
Thanks for the chapter!!!
This blatant “dominance top vs bottom tugwar” between a couple thats supposed to be in love with each other “beyond death /splitting themselves into different personas just to be with each other” is honestly vomit inducing. Your love is strong enough to follow each other around everywhere but not to switch positions for your partner? come on…Dont mind me…
the situation in the novel is obviously not the situation you describe there. Instead of “comfort or non comfort about penetration” its about the dominance tug war. which I commened on. That YR fake promise and bets on it shows it all. Please see again.
I think you make a good point, I also thought it was weird. There was no mention of YR being physically uncomfortable, it was pretty obviously about some kind of domination in the couple. This remains light-hearted, but it can become quite dark in reality. I guess there is some kind of a thin margin.
yes, exactly. Its not to the point of actually being a serious problem (yet), just something that makes you uncomfortable, as if they are lacking genuine feelings or maturity somehow. Personally, this really messes with my immersion into the story.
This part reminds me of the manga I read where the shou decided he wanted to be the top instead and they eventually decided tried to switch it up once. Unfortunately, when it came down to it, the shou couldn’t even stay hard long enough to put it in… 😂 Needless to say the top was both relieved and insulted!
lol… this trope is quite often used to keep the top as the top. I find it quite intriguing. Theres also one novel on this site that has similar vibes. though, I call it that here the author will make up excuses or our “bottom” will be “too lazy” in the end to top rofl.
I did read another novel in which the shou asked to be the top and the gong reluctantly agreed after a big fuss. Then they went through with it and the gong only felt pain and the shou was sweating bullets trying hard to make him feel good by copying what was usually done to him. 😂 They decided to never do that again. I thought that was fair cuz the gong at least tried it to please his lover. But for me, I actually kinda like the novels or mangas that have them switch every once in a while.
yeah or like , realistic reasons to not have them switch. Like, in male x male novels theres that ego dominance thing and the shame about a top being a bottom that I never read in girl x girl novels. . . ( i have different issues with those) I wish for some authors to evolve past that thing. sigh
+1 I like when authors address those male x male issues and then have the characters really talk about it or even overcome it. I always felt it was so unfair to the shou who was “forced” to accept that position because the other was too dominant.
thanks for the chapter!!! Agree about the elections.
Esta poor subordinate hahahahha
poor guy,traumatized by the unusual image.
I do hope YR compromised to MC…
Ahh, that is another point…why the fixed roles?, one must be gong and the other shou. Please! Relationships are about pleasing each other. There’re a lot of men that like to do both things why his partner can please him? I find that selfish. Even if the scene I imagine is to convey comedy if you analyze the situation as such is not cute at all. Is like if you are a girl, your partner wants you to give him a head but he can’t do the same to you. Ugh, disgusting that attitude.
The poor forgotten subordinate. Poor poor them.
He has always known that Fan Yuan was particularly sensitive to the word “home”, or to be more exact, persistent, so he was more than happy to fulfill all his requirements for a family, including parental love, love between partners and love for children. As long as he wanted it, Yan Rui would satisfy it.
I… that makes so much sense… until it doesn’t… Yan Rui omg
