How To Please My Demon Lord
A Scum Villian Self Saving System Fan Fiction
It was a pleasant day on Cang Qiong Mountain. Shen Qingqiu decided to pay a visit to Qing Jing Peak to check on his disciples, as he hadn't visited them in over a month. However, as he approached the familiar bamboo house, he could hear voices in conversation.
"He told me that he wished he had more romance in his life." Ning Yingying's voice could be overheard by Shen Qingqiu as he walked up to the house. He stopped as he heard her sweet, high-pitched voice continue. "I believe that he isn't getting enough attention."
"Humph, I know that guy has always received too much attention if you ask me! I do not know why Shizun even associates with him." Ming Fan could be heard saying in return.
"It's different, Ming-fan. They are together as a couple now. I believe he feels neglected." Ning Yingying concluded.
Shen Qingqiu felt a bit surprised by this revelation. Binghe felt like this? He always tried his best to attend to his husband's needs. They were newly married and had not yet told anyone...unless..
'Binghe went and told Ning Yingying about our relationship? he thought in disbelief. 'Fuck, what else did he tell her and how much? Did he tell her about our sex life? If he felt this way, why didn't he just say something to me? He's never been one to hold back from asking about anything from me before!'
However, after hearing this, he decided to pass by the Bamboo house and go visit Liu-shidi of Bai Zhan Peak. He now felt embarrassed to just walk in on his disciples after they had been discussing his love life. Suddenly the door of the house swung open. NIng Yingying walked out and was holding a broom and dustpan to sweep up the porch.
When she noticed Shen Qingqiu, a bright smile spread across her face.
"Shizun!" she cried, as she put down the broom and dustpan and rushed over to him. She cupped her hands in respect then gave him a hug. '" What a pleasant surprise to see you!" she exclaimed, then looked over his shoulder. '" Where's Ah- Luo? Didn't he come with you?"
Shen Qingqiu shook his head. Luo Binghe rarely accompanied him to Qing Jing Peak. Rather, his husband would here come at night, when he was late coming home to their home in the mountains.
On those occasions, his husband would do whatever it took to get him undressed and into bed while at the bamboo house. It would be a long night on those occasions. He knew this certain bamboo house held a prominent place in the younger man's heart for some reason.
Shen Qingqiu smiled and patted Ning Yingying gently on her arm.
"My dear Yingying, you should know by now that Binghe does not feel welcomed here by Liu-shidi and the other Peak Lords. He had some important business to attend to today, which is why I thought it would be suitable time to check on you, Ming Fan, and my other disciples." he said pleasantly.
'However, Binghe must have come by here on another occasion without me' he thought as he recalled the conversation he had overheard. Why did his husband feel like they were lacking romance, and even worse, that the younger man felt neglected by him?
He felt like he gave into Binghe whenever he looked unhappy and about to burst into tears. The one thing he could not bear to see was his handsome husband cry.
Shen Qingqiu knew that he was not always the most romantic partner. He still held his position as Luo Binghe's beloved Shizun. Therefore, the peak lord felt he had to put up some boundaries. Still, he thought that he tried his best at pleasing the sticky, clingy and insatiable husband of his.
'It's not like I have had experience in my former life in the art of pleasing a man in bed. I always considered myself as straight. Besides, it was not like I had a ton of experience at romancing the ladies either!' he thought in annoyance.
However, Shen Qingqiu, had to admit to himself that he had not done everything that his husband desired. It was mainly because of inexperience or feeling uncomfortable. Luo Binghe was the only man he ever loved romantically. It had took him far too long to realize that. He didn't want to disappoint his husband anymore. Their relationship had been a series of misunderstandings that could have been avoided had they communicated with each other.
'I need to be extra attentive to Binghe. I need to show him how much I value him.' he decided, then turned his attentions back to Ning Yingying and the other disciples.
He spent a few hours visiting with his students and the other peak lords. Shen Qingqiu then began the journey back home. They had found a quiet place in the mountains to reside. However, he decided to stop by the headquarters in the demon realm first. He wanted to check if his husband had returned from his mission in the Southern border.
Shen Qingiu spotted Shang Qinghua and tried to sneak his way past, but unfortunately he was noticed by that idiot, who informed him that Mobei-Jun and Luo Binghe had not returned yet.
"Well, Cucumber Bro, you might as well sit down and have a drink with me, as it seems neither of them will be back soon. We can talk about old times." Shang Qinghua suggested, as he gestured for him to sit down and set two glasses down on the table, then reached for a bottle of expensive wine.
He reluctantly sat down and eyed the other man critically, as he remarked, "You DO remember that you were the one to warn me about how jealous Binghe would be if caught me even talking to another man. Are you hoping for a bad outcome for me, Airplane Bro?"
Shang Qinghua gave a small chuckle and shook his head. "Now why would you think like that, my dear Cucumber Bro? I should know more than anyone about Lou Binghe's jealousy since I was the one who created him in the first place!" he remarked, a smirk on his face.
Shen Qingqiu fought the urge to smack that smirk off the other's man face, and instead raised an eyebrow, "You created Bing-ge, with all his anger and bloodlust that fueled his revenge, Great God Airplane. You cannot claim that he is like my Bing-mei, who I helped shape into the man that he is today. Furthermore, I know more about being on the receiving end of his jealousy more that you could ever know." he reminded the author of the trashy stallion novel - Proud Immortal Demon Way.
Shang Qinghua sighed. "Fine, fine, whatever Cucumber bro, I'll let you win this round. However, why would he be jealous of you and I anyway? Binghe knows that I am loyal to Mobei-Jun." he said as he handed a glass of wine to him.
Shen Qingqiu took the wine, then thought better of it and pushed it back to the other man, who looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Oh, is that a confession? Are you finally admitting the truth of your relationship with Mobei -Jun to me?" he quipped, as Airplane Bro who had already taken a sip of wine, began to choke and cough.
'Wha...?" Shang Qingha sputtered
Shen Qingqiu ignored the other man's discomfort and continued. "See, my dear Airplane, I do not think I can safely have a drink with you knowing Binghe like I do. What would he do if he returned and found out that I had been drinking with you? I know that in his heart, he would be suspicious that something may have happened between you and I."
Shang Qinghua laughed. "Like that would ever happen!"
He gave him an irritable look and replied "Why are you laughing? Binghe's jealous of every person that I encounter, no matter how I try to reassure him and try to appease him- he still feels like I do not give him enough attention. It is quite frustrating!"
Shang Qinghua took another drink, then looked lost in thought for a moment before responding. "Remember Cucumber bro, I told you that you changed the novel to where you mean the whole world to Binghe. You, yourself said that he has the glass heart of a maiden, so imagine if you were married to a woman... she would be jealous of other woman that you talked to. My advice is to treat him like a new bride, with lots of affection and love. However, is it because he is a man that you subconsciously treat him differently?"
Shen Qingqiu sighed. "Why do you think you are qualified to give me love advice?" he scoffed. He decided he needed a drink after all and reached across the table and took the glass of wine that Shang Qinghua had poured for him. He raised it to his lips and took a sip.
'Damn it. Airplane bro has a point.' he thought. In his previous life as Shen Yuan, he had never been interested in men and had no experience with them. He had casually dated a few women, but never seemed to be able to get extremely far with them sexually or romantically.
Shang Qinghua studied the man who sat across from him before asking "Have you really become used to being with a man? I know you said you were straight before you transmigrated. Are you happy being with Luo Binghe, or do you only care for him out of pity and feeling like you have no other choice?"
He was taken aback at Airplane bro's questions. The words that he said to him had a ring of truth to them. He knew if he had never died and been transmigrated into PIDW by the system that he never would have chosen a man.
'Hell, it is not like I wanted my life to turn out like this- I died young, then got myself transmigrated into the damn web novel I hated and being at the mercy of the system.' he thought to himself.
"Cucumber bro, you know it's understandable to feel conflicted" Shang Qinghua replied. "Neither of us knew that our lives would end so soon and that in our second life that we would be stuck in the world I created. I do not even have any control over this world, even though in a sense you could say I am the father of all these characters." he concluded.
'It is like he just read my mind!' Shen Qingqiu thought and that snapped him out of his thoughts as he said firmly, "They just are not just CHARACTERS anymore, Airplane bro! They are actual people with real feelings, thoughts, and dreams, it took me awhile not to think of this world as part of a game to be played and survived at all costs. However, after all these years, this world now feels like home."
The other man finished his wine and asked softly, "What about your feelings for Binghe? Do you really love him like he needs to be loved?"
"Of course, I do... or at least I try to." he began. "I cannot imagine not having Binghe in my life..." then he looked at Shang Qinghua critically. "What business is it of yours, Great God Airplane?" he snapped, "I do not pry into your love life!"
The other man laughed. "Oh, I've read "The Resentment of Chunshan, you know. Liu Mingyan has some talent in writing." he quipped. "I am just trying to help you out, Cucumber bro. I know a man-child like Binghe must not be easy to handle."
Right as he was about to respond with a comeback, he heard "Shizun?"
Shang Qinghua almost jumped out of his skin and looked over his shoulder, while Shen Qingqiu wondered how much of their conversation had been overheard.
Luo Binghe and Mobei Jun were walking towards them, bloodied, battered, and looking very tired. Their robes were stained and torn as well. Obviously, the demons who were rebelling in the Southern border had put up quite a fight with them.
He immediately got up from the table and rushed over to his husband. "Binghe, are you all right?" he asked in concern and reached out to examine the younger man's injuries.
"Shizun, why are you here?" Binghe asked, jealousy was in his tone as he glared over at Shang Qinghua, who was off in the corner fussing over Mobei- Jun.
"It's so late and this disciple thought you would be at home." he said, as he reached out and placed one of his hands on Shen Qingqiu's arms carefully, not wanting to stain his husband's pale green and white robes with his blood.
He reached out and patted the top of his husband's head, a habit of his that he found hard to break. "I went to visit my other disciples at Qing Jing Peak, then stopped by here on my way home to see if you and Mobei –Jun had returned yet, if so, this teacher wanted to accompany you home." he said as he smiled reassuringly at the young Demon Lord.
He noticed the dark circles under his handsome husband's eyes. "You look tired. Let's go home and clean you up so you can get some rest." he suggested as he reached for his husband's hand. Immediately the younger man clasped his hand and leaned against him.
"I'm glad you are here, Shizun. This disciple missed you so very much." Binghe said softly.
"I missed you as well." Shen Qingqiu responded, as he tightened his grip on his husband's hand.
The two men were going to say goodbye to Shang Qinghua but he had already left the room with Mobei- Jun.
"I guess they missed each other too, Binghe. Well, let's go home." he chuckled, as he clutched his husband's hand and led him out into the night.
