I am once again thinking how post-canon WWX probably gets insulted on a semi-regular basis by people who have Beef with the YLLZ, and he's just like, "Okay. 👍"

Except it's not okay, because LWJ turns into a feral cat (hissing and clawing included) when his husband is insulted.

Imagine being the guy who just worked up the nerve to confront the YLLZ for all his hideous and notorious crimes. You're wondering if he'll smite you on the spot. If he'll have you ripped to shreds by fierce corpses.

But no matter!! You MUST speak!

Except the YLLZ just lets out a loooooong sigh. And he reaches out and catches the back of HGJ's robes.

HGJ, who just materialized from NOWHERE. HGJ, who is now trying to claw your face off.

Imagine watching the YLLZ casually hook his hands under HGJ's armpits and drag him away, saying things like, "Now, now, Lan Zhan. He only wanted to scold me a little. It's not so bad. No, you CAN'T beat him up. Do you want a snack? Let's go have a snack!"

LWJ: ...My husband has been insulted. I cannot tolerate such disrespect for my beloved. This Means War.

WWX, fondly:

LWJ: *eating his bao angrily*

WWX, pinching his cheeks: Ah, good boy. Good boy. Do you feel better? No? You're still upset? Do you want to go pat the bunnies?

LWJ: *sulky nod*

Random cultivator who started all this:

Imagine thinking that you're gonna do it. You're gonna CONFRONT the infamous YLLZ!

And instead the YLLZ merely looks at you with weary tolerance, rescues you from being murdered by HGJ, and then gives you a front row seat to their cutesy marriage. 🙃
