[User recognized. Welcome, Proud Immortal Demon Way's Luo Binghe to Proud Immortal Demon Way 2.0]

For a second, Luo Binghe thought that he was being manipulated by a dream demon again, someone even more powerful than his Elder, Meng Mo. Maybe even more powerful than him, though that's absolutely impossible. He told the demon in his head to "Get out!" before opening his eyes begrudgingly.

The scene before him looks unfamiliar, but at the same time, it brings back some memories. Maybe it's because he does know the place, but it shouldn't be like this. At least, not anymore. The scent of bamboo shots filtered the air, and he was laying in a small room connected to a larger one through a division. Though he know what this place is, he had never seen this room before.

"Who are you? Where did you take me?" He asked sternly to the odd voice in his head. The language it was speaking was too bizarre, and he know a lot of dialects in both the human realm and demon realm.

[For customer satisfaction, server shall change it's dialogue tone.]

The original voice was feminine and unfeeling, and though Luo Binghe doesn't know the right word for it, it can only be described as robotic. It was replaced by a booming, old man's voice, the usual one that wise, immortal monks have.

[Greetings, Luo Binghe. I am the god of fate and other realities. I have transported you to another world because of your wish.]

"Wish?" Binghe gave a cold laugh. "What wish did I make, dear god sir? What wish is enough for a god of fate to transfer a humble half-demon such as myself to another reality?"

Binghe was surprisingly calm in this situation. He definitely do not believe that this voice is a god, but he was willing to play along to know more about this possible foe and the circumstances he's facing. A wish? What could he possibly wish for?

[To be with Shen Qingqiu.]

Luo Binghe was taken aback and tensed up for a bit, before forming a fists with his hands and smiling darkly. "If you say so, almighty god sir. Where is Shen Qingqiu in this world?"

[I know what you are thinking, Binghe Jun. But you cannot harm the Shen Qingqiu of this world.]

"Heh, then what's the point of fulfilling my wish to be with him?" Luo Binghe thought this voice is annoying him enough that if he could only attack it in any way, he would have disintegrated it right now to stop this nonsense.

[That, I cannot answer yet, for you will determine your own fate. But I sent you here not to harm Shen Qingqiu. At the moment, your life line amounts to 100 pearls. I have specific tasks for you that may add those pearls, but also restrictions that once violated, will result to you losing pearls. Losing all pearls would be death.]

Luo Binghe just snickered. "So you can control my life just like that, huh. How very powerful and omnipotent of you, god sir."

The voice didn't answer for a while, sensing Binghe's sarcasm.

What a strange and annoying predicament to be in. If this 'god' is telling the truth, then that means our protagonist was given the chance to see his mortal enemy again, yet he can't even harm him. Though harming can mean many different things. If he can come up with something that doesn't count as harming, but will surely hurt Shen Qingqiu...

[Your thoughts are against the restrictions. Lost 5 pearls.]

"Now, now, that's unfair!" Binghe pretended to be offended while holding a hand on his chest. "I don't even know what tasks and restrictions I should follow, yet I already lost pearls."

The god went quiet again. After sometime, it replied. [I have considered your complaint. Those 5 pearls would not be taken away.]

"Thank you for your consideration, merciful god sir." Binghe gave an insincere salute to the air. "What are my tasks, then?"

[First, you must know the truth about this world and blend in to what the people of this world knows you as. Second, you must develop relationships with important persons. Third, you must gain more power in cultivation, both spiritual and demonic. And lastly, you must change the world into something better.]

"Those are quite difficult tasks." Not really, said Luo Binghe to himself. But being in someone's favor is a must before you crush them. "Can't all-powerful god sir take it easy on me?"

[I will serve some help along the way, but things must be done the best of your efforts. A new mission will be happening soon. May heaven's bless you.]

Just as the 'god voice' left, the main door of the room creaked, and footsteps can be heard. Luo Binghe's instincts took over and went on a fighting stance, drawing Xin Mo, which was luckily still on the scabbard by his waist. Someone opened the partition and Luo Binghe nearly stabbed him with a sword when he saw his face.

"Binghe, are you already awake?" Shen Qinqiu was shocked with Xin Mo's blade just 3 inches away from between his eyes. "Whoah, it's just me! It's just you're Shizun! Calm down, calm down!"

"Shizun?" Luo Binghe cocked his head to the side and lowered his sword. This man has Shen Qingqiu's appearance, but the tone of his voice, his actions... It's all different.

"Does coming back from the dead made you so tense?" He gave Luo Binghe a smile, which just caused Luo Binghe's face to go darker. "You shouldn't move too much so soon, your injuries haven't healed yet."

"Injuries?" Luo Binghe have injuries? Just the thought of it never crossed his mind that's why he haven't noticed the many scars around his body, one even piercing through his chest near his heart, another older one nearby between his ribs, and one of the palm of his hand, all made from a sword. The smaller wounds were cold and jagged, as if he was dragged out from a glacier. If Binghe noticed it before, he would have healed all of this in just one second.

But he can't make rash decisions. He almost harmed Shen Qingqiu earlier, which was the number one rule of the god voice. Quickly, Luo Binghe sat back on his bed without any expression. "Okay."

"Binghe, are you feeling alright?" This Shen Qingqiu placed a hand on his neck and forehead, and Binghe tried hard not to react on any way to his touch. "You're not still.... You're not under qi deviation anymore, are you?"

"What makes you think that?" Luo Binghe undergoing qi deviation? This world is really too bizarre for his taste.

"Because right now, you haven't...." Shen Qinqiu chose his words carefully. "You still seem out of sorts. Maybe you need more rest. I'll go bring back some medicine and food."

"Wait." Luo Binghe clasped his wrist. It was a bit too tight, Shen Qingqiu noticed, and from his flinched expression, Binghe loosened up a bit. It's difficult not to kill this man on sight, no matter how different he was from the scum Shen Qingqiu he knows. He still have his face. Luo Binghe just remembered something earlier and out of nowhere, he had the urge to test it out. "Shizun?"

"Yes?"

"Shizun?"

"Yes, do you need anything-"

"Shizun, Shizun, Shizun."

Shen Qingqiu had a bewildered look on his face. "Do you really miss calling me Shizun that much?"

I've never called you Shizun before, not even once on my past life, so it's interesting. Luo Binghe thought to himself. It gives him a fluttery feeling somehow. But those feelings were crushed when he realized he's still holding the hands of the man he despised the most, so he let go. He prepared a fake smile. "When Shizun comes back, can you comb my hair for me?"

Somehow, Shen Qingqiu sighed with relief. I thought at first something was wrong, but this guy never change. He got me going crazy for a month back then, I guess now were even. Remembering how devastated he was when Luo Binghe died, it almost made the tough Shen Yuan part of himself tear up by seeing his disciple like this. "Of course. Anything for my disciple."

He gave Bingge's head a light pat, not knowing this was the strong stallion and not the sensitive maiden who likes his head pats from before. Luo Binghe froze from that gesture, sitting upright still like stone. Nobody, not even one of his wives, had ever patted his head!

Before Luo Binghe's 'I'm gonna kill you' mechanism activated, Shen Qingqiu left and closed the partition.

"How was my performance, great god?" He asked when he can't hear his 'Shizun's' footsteps anymore.

[You were highly believable, but lacking in affection. Be more touchy next time.]

Bingge wants to burn a whole village. JUST WHAT KIND OF PERSON IS THE 'LUO BINGHE' HERE????
