I’m Really Not Long Aotian’s Wife!
Hui Yu Tian
Li Weiyun, the mightiest cultivator of the Upper Realm, was overjoyed to have a child late in life and adored his son beyond measure. If his little one wanted something, he’d pluck the moon from the sky! Yet, on his son’s full-month celebration, he had a horrifying nightmare: *“This world is a book, and my son is the male lead’s rival. In the future, he’ll be whisked away by some nobody from the Lower Realm named Long Aotian? Preposterous!!!”* Furious, Li Weiyun swore to guard his treasure tightly. He forbade his son from venturing to the Lower Realm or mingling with ruffians—especially one named Long Aotian! --- Li Qingyuan was a peerless genius, unmatched in millennia. His father, the Upper Realm’s strongest cultivator, doted on him but barred him from leaving home alone and repeatedly warned him to beware of a certain Long Aotian. At seven years old, the Heavenly River shattered, upheaving both realms. While cultivating in his cave abode, Li Qingyuan noticed a spatial rift flickering before him, revealing a lush green forest. Curious, he stepped inside and saw a ragged child digging up the grass, leaving the once-pristine meadow pockmarked with holes. Puzzled, he asked what the child was doing. The boy turned, grinning with artless charm. *“Big brother, who are you?”* *“I’m Li Qingyuan. And you?”* *“Hehe, I’m Xiao Qi! The elders call me the Cowherd. Want to dig up these spirit herbs together?”* --- As his son grew stronger day by day, Li Weiyun wiped away proud tears. *“That book was just a dream. My Qingyuan has the bearing of an Immortal Emperor—how could some brat steal him away?”* Until one day, a haughty youth arrived at the Ask Heaven Sect, boldly shouting *“Father-in-law!”* Li Weiyun was baffled. *“Who’s this brat calling ‘father-in-law’?”* He turned to Li Qingyuan—only to see his usually stoic son *smiling* at the punk. *“???”* *“BRAT, YOU’RE DEAD!!!”* --- The “brat” got thoroughly beaten, of course. Li Qingyuan rapped his head while applying medicine. *“Don’t joke like that.”* Blushing, the “brat” mumbled inwardly: *It’s not a joke.* --- To Li Qingyuan, Mo Xiaoqi was always the little brother he needed to protect—reckless, always getting hurt. Until the day the raven-haired youth pinned him down, unleashing years of twisted, pent-up desire. *“Qing, don’t look at them… look only at me, okay?”*
