As the Minor Gay Rival in Het Novels

Chapter 4.3

As expected, Xu Moran was truly the male lead. Although he had only learned how to fly upon a sword for half a day, he was already able to control it well. While chatting leisurely with Fan Yuan, he controlled the sword. There was none of the usual nervousness and restraint that came with being a novice.

With the deep blue sea and clear azure skies as a backdrop, the rivers, lakes, famous mountains and great seas, lay at their feet while they rode the wind with eagles and cranes as company. Fan Yuan gazed at the young boy who was extremely relaxed in front of him, and faintly developed a feeling that the boy should be king, since it was as if this entire world was created for him. Moran was precisely the ruler of this entire land.

He thought in his heartthis was probably the protagonists halo, wrapping around Moran as if he was enveloped in dazzling light.

Previously, Fan Yuan hadnt tried to use a flying sword before, but in fact, his heart actually felt that it was something quite novel. The original hosts cultivation was too high. He was in the early stage of Body Fusion, and on top of that he had a single wind-type spiritual root. Wherever he wanted to go, he just had to recite a wind incantation and within a blink of an eye, he would have arrived. Although it was convenient and cool, it was also a lot less fun.

It was not bad to be able to experience such an opportunity for once, butWhat was this stinky little brat planning to do by adopting such a protective stance?!

Fan Yuan quickly slapped away his disciples dog paws that were wrapped around his waist. You rascal, you havent even finished your discipleship ne, yet you wanna climb over laozis head already! Wait a few more years ba!

Xu Moran saw Fan Yuan pull away from himself, and immediately plastered on a cheeky smile. He whispered placatingly, Shizun, are you angry? Although the sword flying is simple, if there is even a little instability I will fall and break my bones. I would be extremely afraid if I was left alone. Only when shizun is accompanying me, I can feel at ease.

As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father. As a shizun, he wasnt actually that different from a father. How could he not be aware that the boy was deliberately acting spoiled in front of him? However, so what if he knew? To be so heavily depended on like this, Fan Yuans heart still gained huge satisfaction. Hence, he let Moran freely hang onto him like a koala would to a tree.

However, the stately manner of being a teacher still had to be there. He perfunctorily scolded, Only this time. Todays events cannot be repeated again, otherwise this teacher will definitely not let you off easily.

Xu Moran leaned his face onto Fan Yuans shoulder, as if he was slightly scared. His voice was very soft as he asked, If there really is a next time, how would shizun punish me?

Fan Yuan furrowed his brows, he had just said it casually. With such a hardworking and sensible disciple, it was understandable if he was a little naughty as he was only 14. How could Fan Yuan truly punish him?

He gave it some thought, and followed by reaching out his hand to poke the childs forehead. His tone was slightly more serious, If you ever do commit a wrong knowingly, this teacher will send you to the Sunset Cliff for a year and a half so that you can properly reflect on your actions.

Xu Morans pupils exuded the slightest glint, and the corners of his mouth revealed an unreadable smile. He faintly said, Sunset Cliff ah, thats truly a pretty good idea ne.

Fan Yuan heard him say such words and turned back to look at him with some doubts, but he saw that Morans directing a dazzling smile at him. Moran said with much sincerity, Shizun treats Tuer so well. Sunset Cliff has such good scenery, how could it be considered a punishment? In the end, shizun still dotes on Tuer.

Upon hearing this, Fan Yuan couldnt help but feel it was funny. With much resignation, he said, Since you know this teacher dotes on you, then you should be more obedient.

He only saw the youth nod his head slightly and maintain a straight face. Moran said every word with seriousness, That is natural. Moran only listens to shizuns words, only cares about shizun, and my heart also only has shizun.

Fan Yuan coughed uncomfortably and looked away, gazing at the distant mountains and lakes as if everything was normal.

His heart really felt quite complicated. This childs fledgling plot was quite important, but could it be that isolating him away from the sects female cultivators was actually a miscalculation? That also made sense, a regular young teen naturally should feel some attraction to other girls in his daily life. However, since Moran always stayed with his shizun that was hundreds-of-years-old and a fox that was over a thousand, it was quite plausible that his personality would develop differently.

Fan Yuan secretly wrote this thought down in his heart. As a teacher, it was inevitable that he would miss certain things in a moment of thoughtlessness, but the most important thing was that he knew how to admit his mistakes and change; there was nothing more praise-worthy than that!

Hence, after that day, Xu Moran was often sent by his shizun to run errands for other peaks, and gradually Moran got to know many people in the sect. When he came back, he would often return with full arms, as many female cultivators would discreetly give him some highly-effective spiritual pills and rare herbs. When Fan Yuan saw them, he could only feign ignorance.

Who hasnt been young before ne? He was, in fact, an open-minded shizun, as long as his disciple was not so thirsty for love till the point that he decided to initiate some kind of young love, he could totally treat it as if he saw nothing ma!

*******************

In the blink of an eye, Xu Moran turned 18. As expected from the script, from not having any kind of cultivation, he broke through the Zhuji stage in just eight years. He could be considered an unparalleled talent in all of history.

Regarding this, the explanation in the original plot was that the male leads soul had been cauterised by heavenly fire in his previous life, and had thus reached a state of pure Yang. Hence, he would not encounter any bottleneck or things like inner demons in the cultivation of this life. This was the merit he had obtained from the sacrifice of ones life for righteousness.

His golden finger was so big, plus he was also reasonable and eloquent. Fan Yuan really had to express his admiration for such a witty author. Fan Yuan just wanted to consult the author for a bitregarding the supporting gay male lead who decided to perish together with the Demon Lord, eradicating a great threat for the cultivation world in his previous life, why was this lifetime still so miserable as well?!

If the disciple that Fan Yuan had gone through great pains to cultivate was just seduced away by some random junior sister, he could still look past it. Things like making wedding robes for him, due to the obstacle of having a different gender, he had no choice but to take a step back. However, why, why, WHY did the Demon Lord have to rise from the ashes?! Shouldnt it be for the Heaven-defying male lead to eradicate him ma!! Why the hell did they want this shizun to offer himself as tribute and perish with the BOSS again ah?!

What happened to reaping what you sow? What about punishing the guilty and rewarding the kind? Sure enough, it was all just nonsense ba!

Whenever he thought of the BOSS, Fan Yuan would feel his head ache. It wasnt because this person would follow him to the netherworld, but because this BOSS had a little quirk. Youre asking whats so special about him? Fan Yuan really wanted to roll his eyes, but he couldnthe had to maintain his elegant and composed image of a master. So, he could only snort coldlydamn it, the BOSS was also gay!

Yes, thats right, its exactly like what yall are thinking about. The Demon Lord was the gay BOSS who loved this supporting gay male in secret.

Recalling a thousand years ago, Immortal Xuantian had left this world and the cultivation world was left lost for a period of time as they were leaderless. The righteous cultivators witnessed as demonic cultivators were about to rise again. As Immortal Xuantians number one fan, Lin Yuan naturally couldnt watch as the blood and tears of his own Senior Brother were ruined right in front of his eyes. Lin Yuan disregarded his own life and didnt care about leaving a sullied name for thousands of years, as he resolutely joined the demonic sect. Of course, he had other motives.

In the demonic sect, he only did one thingcome up with a multitude of plans to gain the Demon Lords trust. He relied on his unparalleled appearance in the Minglan continent, and his position in the Demon Lords heart increased day by day. In the end, Lin Yuan had reached a position where no one could touch.

Before he went into closed-door cultivation, the Demon Lord entrusted the task of managing the sect to Lin Yuan. The result was predictablethe Demon Lord had naturally fallen prey to a hidden ploy.

The Demon Lord was enraged. He had long developed feelings for Lin Yuan, so how would he have expected that the real reason the other party got close to him was for the sake of killing him? For a time, the Demon Lords spiritual consciousness went wild, going on a huge rampage in fury. It turned out that it he had actually experienced a qi deviation.

Seeing that he was about to explode and die, the Demon Lord clung on tightly to Lin Yuan. He looked extremely deranged as he said, You want my life, Ill give it to you, but I want you to accompany me forever!

In the end, Lin Yuan died and was reborn. However, how could it be so easy to kill the dignified and powerful Demon Lord who had already reached late-stage Dujie? His spiritual body was heavily damaged, so he entered a period of slumber. Once he slept, a thousand years had passed.

When he woke up, he learned that Lin Yuan had already been dead for who knows how many years. For a while, he was at such a loss that he actually wanted to massacre Xuan Tian sect to vent his anger. However, he met the Lin Yuan who had already been reborn. How would he let him off so easily? Thus for another period of time, he was feeling so entangled to the point that he was better off dead.

Long story short, it was a doomed love.

This very day was the exact day when the Demon Lord would awaken, but also be at his weakest. Fan Yuan really wanted to teleport to Weimin Mountain and kill the BOSS right in his cradle, so as to prevent him from being a persistent complication in the future! It was a pity that he couldnt do so, and could only wait for this annoyance to grow up, bit by bit. In the future, the fellow would not only add on to his troubles, but would also require Fan Yuan to pay with his life.

Although he was really looking forward to the time when he could perish together with the Demon Lordas it would help him complete the mission as soon as possiblethis didnt mean that he was willing to be persistently entangled with a man. This was especially so when the man had even proclaimed loudly, This is what you owe me in this life! If you dont love me, you have to die! These kind of words made people feel like breaking down just from the thought of it, okay?!

#Author-sama, let us talk about life together!#

#Do you dare replace the plot with a normal one /(o)/~~#

#After getting rid of one deep ice well, there are still thousands of deep ice wells ahead!#

Fan Yuan carried the small little fox Bi Yi, brushing her white fur while still distressing over the plot to come. No matter this way or that, he still felt that the problem had no solution, moreover he didnt dare to randomly cook up a lousy idea. Only now did Fan Yuan remember that there was a certain other BOSS that he had to face, though the BOSS was still in his growth period. Due to his own provocation, he had pushed forward that mans blackening, it was really an unforgettable lesson.

Ever since then, the degree of scariness of entities like boss had always taken second place in Fan Yuans heart. Youre asking whos the first place? Haha, of course, it was the unknown species called Yan Rui!

Shizun

A sudden low and deep voice entered his ear. Fan Yuan was still in a daze and couldnt help but be frightened into a jumpscare. In a moment of shock, he flung the little fox Bi Yi out of his arms.

Bi Yi instantaneously transformed into her human form in mid-air and landed effortlessly on the ground. However, her heart was on fire as she glared at Xu Moran with wide eyes and said, Xu Moran, you must have done it intentionally!

Xu Moran had a face of complete innocence as he replied in confusion, Moran is just joking with shizun, I do not know what Sister Bi Yi is trying to say. Moran really doesnt understand.

Biyi snorted coldly, Stinky little weaning brat, you dont even know what shamelessness is, sticking to Master all day long.

So Sister Bi Yi has stopped weaning? Whos the one whos always glued to shizuns arms?

Words were left stuck in her throat when Bi Yi heard his rebuttal. She said with her cheeks bulging, Master likes to touch my fur, even after hundreds of years he hasnt gotten sick of it. Where is the place for a disciple like you who came halfway to be so nosy! If it wasnt for your appearance

The two acted as if they were born to have conflicting eight characters. These few years, they also bickered often. Originally, Fan Yuan was too lazy to intervene, but when he heard the little fox almost utter irretrievable words, he quickly stopped her, Bi Yi! A loophole seems to have appeared in the jade pools enchantment. Go check the spiritual stone formation and replace the broken ones.

Bi Yi was aware that her tongue had slipped and hurriedly said, Bi Yi obeys. After speaking, she transformed into her original form and disappeared from Snowless Hall at the speed of light.

Fan Yuan let out a sigh of relief, but when he looked back he saw Moran currently staring straight at him. There seemed to be some traces of hurt in his eyes. Fan Yuan didnt know what to say, yet he heard the stinky little lad stammer out, Is shizun hiding something from Moran?

Fan Yuan was silent and his expression was slightly imposing. After a long while of consideration, he opened his mouth and said, Moran, if shizun hides some things from you, then its definitely for your sake. You have to believe that shizun will never harm you, no matter what.

As expected, Xu Moran was fooled by that one remark. He leaned his head on Fan Yuans shoulder and said with a muffled voice, Of course Moran believes shizun. Since shizun is saying it like this, shizun must have your own reasons behind it. It was Moran that was insensible, I caused shizun to be in a difficult position.

Fan Yuan listened to Moran act so cooperatively, and for a time he felt quite guilty, but on the outside, he still looked extremely gratified. These few years, this silly disciple always liked to act spoiled with him. Now, he was much more capable than his shizun, but his habits never changed. He was still like a child that couldnt grow up.

Fan Yuan had also gotten used to the occasional intimacy with the child. Out of habit, he reached out his hand and helped the boy sort out his messy hair, In a few days, it will be your 18th birthday. When the time comes, this teacher has a gift for you.

Moran hugged his shizuns shoulder and chased for an answer curiously, What kind of present is it?

Fan Yuan hooked up the corners of his lips and laughed, Its a secret. When the time comes, you will know.

The Author has Something to Say:

Little Theatre

After Xu Moran returned from running errands, he threw the precious spiritual pills and herbs that the female cultivators had given him in a corner.

He languidly took out dozens of silk brocade books from his ring. All of them were books on indirect ways of expressing ones love. He stared at the words Immortal Luoxia, raising the corners of his lips in a smirk. An ember of black flame ignited in his hand and instantly burned the book into ashes.

A person who dares to actually have such wishful thoughts about my person, really doesnt know what death is.
