Tell me more about dumb villain? :D
That one will be - and it will be one day, so help me any passing deity - another mistaken identity fic. Basically a newly emerged demon has beef with General Nan Yang, and kidnaps both him and who he believes to be his attendant... some little weird scrap-picker.
This is like half of all I have, but also my favourite bit:
(Villain has been consistently mistaking Xie Lian for Feng Xin’s servant/bodyguard and has just witnessed him speak ‘out of turn’ one too many times:)
‘Just who do you think you are?’ he roared.
Xie Lian flashed an infuriatingly peaceful, non-threatening smile at him.
‘I think I’m many things. Or at least, I’ve been a lot of things over the years. The Crown Prince of Xian Le. The Flower-Crowned Martial God. The Guoshi Fang Xin. General Hua. I am the Scrap Immortal. But, what you will find the most relevant right at this moment...’ he said, extending a hand, allowing a silver butterfly to land on his finger ‘... is that I am also Crimson Rain Sought Flower’s husband.’
