"Are you okay?"
Seeing Xie Lian touching his head like that, Hua Cheng can't help but worry
"No, it's ok, I'm fine, it's just -"
Ever since his cursed shackles were broken, defeated Jun Wu and his spiritual energy restored, his number of worshippers also increased significantly with those at Puqi shrine inclusive. So the overwhelming prayers he receives gives him headaches, honestly he doesn't hate it, he missed this feeling that he lost 800 years ago when he was banished from heaven and lost all of his believers...................... well, all but one; his most devoted believer who's looked after him and been with him, is not other than his San Lang
"San Lang, do you want to go to Puqi shrine?"
"Why all of a sudden?"
"The villagers miss us"
Since everyone in the village knows that Xiaohua with the work ethic of a 100 men is actually the feared ghost king Hua Cheng and that Xie Lian is a god, and that the two are actually TOGETHER, they don't fear Hua Cheng as a bad guy anymore, just the watch what you say to him and Xie Lian kind of fear because he will show you no mercy. And they all know that he wouldn't do anything to them if they didn't provoke him, in fact he's even rather friendly with them because they treated Xie Lian with nothing but kindness, and they're glad they did, so he has nothing against them.
"So they prayed to you, aren't they pushing they're luck?"
"Now now, it's already fine that they're not terrified of you"
"I don't mind that"
"Well I do, now let's go"
"As gege wishes "
Hua Cheng takes out two small red dice from who knows where, extends a hand to Xie Lian and leads him to a random door in the manor. He tosses the dice and two sixes is the outcome, and with that he pushes the door open.
They are met with the welcoming interior of the newly built Puqi shrine, they cross the threshold hand in hand.
"WELL! IT'S ABOUT TIME YOU GROSS!!!ASS!! LOVERS! GOT HERE!"
They don't need to turn they're heads around to know who the sweary person is
"What are you doing here Qi Rong?" Xie Lian asks in a rude tone
"COUSIN CROWN PRINCE, YOUR SO RUDE, I WAS ON THE VERGE OF COMPLETE SOUL DISPERSION IF NOT FOR MY CHEAP SON PLEADING THAT FUCKER LAN QIANQU TO HELP ME. AND EVEN WHEN I COULD'VE BEEN LONG GONE BY NOW, YOU'RE STILL AS COLD AS EVER!!, I THOUGHT YOU WOULD TREAT ME A LITTLE NICER WITH MY NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE!!"
"Near death experience? You're already dead trash"
Hua Cheng comments
"HUA! CHENG! YOU FUCKER!!!-"
"Dad...... stop it, you're not completely healed yet, if you Anger Scrap gege and Mister Hua, not only will they smash your head into the ground but also completely disperse your weak soul, which will make me sad, so please be nice "
Only then did Xie Lian notice a boy with Qi Rong; it's Guzi. So Qi Rong was calling his own 'son' cheap in his presence this time and Guzi didn't mind. Now that Xie Lian's paying particular attention
"OK SON, DON'T WORRY, I JUST WANTED TO SAY A FEW BLESSINGS TO THEM IN MY OWN WAY" says Qi Rong
Well Xie Lian could understand the 'my own way part' being nothing but cusses obviously, but he's actually no longer bothered by Qi Rong like he was before, he's now used to his little cousin's vulgar language and can't imagine Qi Rong without it, and on top of it all, the self-preserving Qi Rong sacrificed himself for Guzi, willing for his soul to dissipate at The cost of saving a child that's not even his, Xie Lian can't help but think of Qi Rong in a new light. With kindness laced in his voice, he asks
"So, what brings you to Puqi shrine?"
"I missed you two, so I begged Dad for us to come see you"
Hua Cheng, who hasn't said anything apart from his previous retorting comment now says
"What's there to miss about?, we're the most boring people you can find"
Xie Lian scolds him through the spiritual communication array 'San Lang, be nice, the kid missed us...... that's more than enough of a reason for him to come, don't give them a reason to go'
'i just don't want anyone else here..............I won't have you to myself if they stay' he says spiritually, his physical expression being pouty
"Ok, I'll find a way to make them leave, just put that pout away"
Having heard what he wanted, San Lang immediately smirks, making Xie Lian sigh..........he feels like he spoils him alot, no wonder he's so sly about it, but then again, Hua Cheng doesn't demand much from Xie Lian, and when he does......... he's like a child asking for the guests to leave because he doesn't like them, how can Xie Lian refuse him when he's like that?!
"So, how long are you staying for?"
"XIE LIAN, INSTEAD OF YOU BEING A GOOD HOST, YOU'RE ALREADY FREAKING ASKING ABOUT OUR DEPARTURE!?, SOME FUCKING FLOWER CROWN PRINCE YOU ARE!!!!, YOU KNOW............ FLOWERS ARE DELICATE AND WELCOMING, BUT YOU!?!, THERE'S NOTHING WELCOMING AND DELICATE ABOUT YOU AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!, SO IT MAKES ME WONDER WHO IN THEIR RIGHT FUCKING MIND GAVE YOU SUCH A DUMBASS TITLE"
"Hey trash, have you ever wondered about what the earth's core looks like?"
Hua Cheng asks, no emotion whatsoever on his face
Qi Rong seeing him, alarmed and afraid by the sudden question he poses, deflates his attitude saying
"NOT REALLY"
"Ok, keep on uttering shit and your head will be the first to make contact with it"
He says rather too coldly
Xie Lian can't help but be amused by Qi Rong's meek expression right now, it's not like Hua Cheng would do it anyway since Xie Lian obviously wouldn't allow it, but Hua Cheng just wanted to put his savage thoughts and intentions out there to atleast shut him up or put out his Pompous attitude, who wouldn't thought his threat did so much more than that.
"Since you want me to be a good host, let me cook something up for you"
