    Summary

    “What, exactly, do you intend to do with those children?” The clear voice cut through the crowd.

    Wearing half a mountain’s worth of dirt and a patchy beard, the stranger reminded Six Balls of the Undead Bearded Bandit from pa’s bedtime stories. His hair fell in tangles to his waist, and bare, blackened feet poked out under the dirt-crusted robes.

    He looked… He looked like a real hero who’d just rolled out of a fresh grave. The coolest, scariest kind of hero was the fresh-out-of-a-grave kind, in Six Balls’s opinion; that was when they were about to wreck the bloodiest vengeance on anything standing in their path.

    “Children?!” yelled one of the stupider humans, who clearly didn’t know the best way to talk to an undead hero. (Don’t, if you can help it.) “These demons slaughtered six good men!”

    Or: When Shen Qingqiu wakes up in his new plant body exactly one day later than he does in canon, it throws the plot in a whole new direction.

    Summary

    Six years ago, Shen Qingqiu escaped his plot-ordained death by secretly cultivating a new body. His rebirth came at a cost, however: the loss of his memories.

    Now, Shen Yuan claws his way out of the dirt with no idea where he is, who he is supposed to be, or why his System is malfunctioning. What he does have is a very devoted disciple, Bai Wentian, who claims that they are wandering cultivators who've known each other for years. As they set out to explore the world together, Shen Yuan finds himself becoming increasingly fond of this sweet, loyal young man. But although he recognizes the setting of Proud Immortal Demon Way, he soon realizes that this story is different: something, or someone, has substantially altered the plot.

    To uncover the truth, Shen Yuan will have to restore his missing memories… while also protecting Bai Wentian from this world's chief danger: the protagonist himself, Luo Binghe.

     

    (AKA: What if the mushroom body came with a side of amnesia… and Binghe found out?)

    Summary

    "We've found the sower, Gongyi-shixiong," Binghe said. "Thank you for bringing assistance, but I won't presume to waste any more of this senior's time."

    The smile he gave Shen Qingqiu was…polite. Respectful.

    Disinterested.

    Shen Qingqiu stared at him, speechless. He'd been prepared for anger, or hate—it was no less than what he deserved—but this?

    What was this, even?

    In which Luo Binghe comes back from the Abyss with amnesia, and Shen Qingqiu is definitely relieved and not at all worried sick about him.
