🛀 The Flexorcist

Yan Feng Gu is a flexorcist, a monk who uses extreme flexibility in his practice of expelling evil spirits. Like a bard's flute that enables the miracle of music like no ordinary piece of wood, a flexorcist's body is the key which, by taking the most mesmerizing shapes, opens the door to the world of inorganic beings.

No one in contact with the spirits may be fully protected from all kinds of side effects, traditionally called 'curses', though many of them are more like blessings for the mortal flesh. Gu's most remarkable curse consisted in complete rejuvenation each time he reached the age of 100, once again becoming a young man but retaining all his memories, including muscle memory, ready for another lap of contortion training after another 100 years of wisdom and practice behind his bendy back.

As a wise but well-preserved laofu, Mr. Yan is quite aware of the beauty aspect of his work, after all there's only that much money you can make on the ungrateful evil spirits, but when it comes to the well-paying human audience, there are many side jobs available to such a flexible young man, working in the circus probably the most ungrateful of them, he discovered, brothels being significantly more effecient at enriching the connections, leading to the most interesting cases as those are usually contained within the houses of the wealthy and greedy, the greatest evil spirits having little interest in the humble life of mere peasants.

Thanks to a couple of clients (literally two elderly lovers with a mutual taste for barely legal boys), Gu was able to get into a bathhouse where he met, who would have expected... the elusive Jelly Demon! An extremely rare demon who sucks stiffness out of the victim's joints, and legends tell of the youths who had never trained a single day in their life and suddenly gained the abilities of advanced contortionists over such encounters.

Many flexibility lovers try to find this legendary demon in vain, so Gu couldn't believe his luck! Being already insanely flexible, he donated the last bits of stiffness he had in his bones to the demon that made his body practically unbreakable. Now he could do contortion powerful enough to expel even the greatest evil spirits, should they ever shove their noses in Tanmen.

Yan Feng Gu came back to his senses, he was still in the bathhouse, completely naked and covered in sweat, his body all twisted and knotted up, yet not a shade of pain in a single joint, quite the contrary, immense joy from how much his body was contorted. He spent at least an hour or two meditating in his inhuman knot, trying not to break the amazing sensations, but eventually grew too eager to stand up and try out everything his freshly 'cursed' body was now capable of...
