Chapter Text
Luo Binghe had everything he wanted.
He had power, money, respect and love.
He was the emperor of both the demon realm and the mortal realm, he had his revenge on everyone who ever wronged him and he also had an harem of the most beautiful and exquisite women on the the world.
And yet—
Ever since he went to that other world everything felt empty.
Not matter how many of his wives he bedded, his mind was still on that other Shizun, on how much he seem to care for the other him.
What he could possible have that he didn't?
If anyone was lacking was his other version! He still haven't even merged the two realm or taken revenge on the people who hurt him.
But still that Shizun was kind to him — Loved him, why him? —
And Luo Binghe hated to know that there was something he wanted that he couldn't have.
Yes, he could probably find his way into that other world and steal that Shizun, but Luo Binghe wasn't an idiot, he knew that even if that Shizun seem nicer, there wasn't anyone better to hold grudges better than Shen Qingqiu and he probably wouldn't take kindly the kidnapping and the most likely murder of his husband.
Besides, he didn't just wanted someone who looked like Shen Qingqiu, he wanted his Shizun to give him that kind of care — That kind of love —
So Luo Binghe started to plot.
.
Going back in time, apparently wasn't as difficult as someone might think it was, the reason why most people avoided it was because they couldn't just go back in time and return right away.
No, what it traveled back on time was their mind, so once he went back he will be stuck there forever with no possibly to return to the future, at least not the same future that they left behind as any minor change in the past could gravely impact the future.
But that was exactly what Luo Binghe wanted, so he left the present and went back in time without never looking back.
Causing a butterfly effect that not even a great heavenly demon like Luo Binghe could predict.
.
For obvious reasons Luo Binghe decided to go back in time when he was a child, because been a baby would have been too boring with nothing to do and because...
Well, if he could try and save his mother he will.
Now, his new body — or was old? Since he came back in time? — was way smaller and weak, and true to be told he was just a little scared because it had been a really long time since the last time he felt as... Helpless.
But this time he has all his knowledge with him so start to cultivate again was easy and with that regain his strength was just a matter of time.
.
Been a child was difficult but with his power slowly growing getting money and medicines for his mother was way more easy than the first time that he was just an stupid boy who didn't know anything about the world.
He considered joining the sect earlier this time, but the true was that he first wanted to make sure his mother was well taken care and with that on mind he decided he needed some allies, people he could trust to keep his mother safe while he was away.
And with that on mind while his mother was healthy and well, he made his way into the demon realm.
.
Getting Mobei-jun on his side wasn't nearly as hard as he thought it will be, thankfully his right hand had shared some of his past with him, so save him from one of his uncle schemes to get rid of him was easy enough gaining the favor of his old best friend — or at least the closest thing he had to a real friend —
Of course Mobei-jun had been wary of him for been a human but when he revealed his true heritage he came around and help him to get some power in the Demon real, because Demon didn't care about looks or age, they cared about only one thing.
Power.
And Luo Binghe was born with it.
Finally with a secure place, income and a trusted ally he could leave his mother on good hands and go for his prize.
Shen Qingqiu.
Shizun, this student was on his way.
.
Looking around the sect once again, Luo Binghe felt kind of bad for destroying the place the first time, maybe if everything went according to his plan he wouldn't have to do it again.
The trial and everything looked the same as the first time, the only thing different was—
"Ming Fan what you got there?" He heard the sudden voice of his Shizun and turned around to see something that hadn't happened before.
Ming Fan was standing behind the sect leader clearly with something in his mouth — he actually looked like a squirrel with his cheeks full with acorns — while the sect leader acted as a wall between disciple and Master.
"Nothing" The student said, like a liar clearly having his mouth stuffed.
"Look what you did, he is probably going to chock with all that candy" Said Liu Qingge who— wait why was he talking so comfortable with his Shizun? They barely tolerate each other.
"How is that my fault? When it's clear that there were your students the one that they gave him the candy" He accused and the other man just shrugged.
"You have no proof, for all we know the sect leader could have given him the candy" He answered although he didn't deny the possibility that his students provided the candy—
Wait, why would the student from Bai Zhan will give candy to Ming Fan?
"That's— Shen Qingqiu suddenly remembered that the sect leader existed and started to glare at him and it was obvious that Liu Qingge was right since the man was already going the other way probably running away from a scolding while the disciple that caused everything was nowhere to be seem.
Later when Luo Binghe made his way to the peak on his own and was received from one of the older disciple, he was informed that he will meet his new Shizun tomorrow since apparently their head disciple had decided to play hide and seek in order to not get all his candy confiscated.
And all Luo Binghe could think was—
What the fuck.
