Chapter 6

Lang Qian Qiu remained unfazed, but Shi Qing Xuan gave a start of fright at the revelation. "Oh gods, the one behind the curtains, is it him?! Blood Rain Seeking Flower? ? ?"

Xie Lian, "En...... it's him."

"You're absolutely certain?!"

"I'm absolutely certain."

"Who else would the ghosts call owner of their city?" Wu Du rhetorically said with a sigh, hiding his worry for his sibling who was near a calamity in the future. 

Shi Qing Xuan looked fit to tear at his hair. "Shitshitshit, what's going to happen to Qian Qiu now?!"

"......let's just pray he doesn't expose his own identity......" Xie Lian offered feebly.

"I doubt it." Yin Yu said. "I'm sure Hua-chengzhu already knew who he was the moment he approached."

Lang Qian Qiu swept a stormy gaze around in a circle, his anger palpable. "This hellhole reeks of foulness and evil, with ghosts and demons running wild inside. What kind of filthy scum are you, what kind of wicked deeds are you overseeing here? How could you run such an establishment? You are all completely lacking in humanity!"

"...You do know that's Ghost City, right?" Feng Xin slowly said in disbelief that the prince could be so...dense. "A place where most are not alive?"

"I do." Qian Qiu nod, not understanding what Feng Xin wanted to say which made the latter sigh, giving up. 

The ghosts hissed and booed at him. "We're not human anyway, what do we want with humanity? You can take your useless concepts and shove it!"

"Who the hell are you anyway, running in here to point fingers at us!"

Hua Cheng gave a low chuckle. "This den of mine has always been a hellish place. There's a path in Heaven for you to tread, yet you disdain it and come charging into Hell instead. So tell me, what am I to do with you?"

Hearing him mention the word "Heaven", Xie Lian and Shi Qing Xuan immediately understood.

Hua Cheng already knows where Lang Qian Qiu came from!

"Please do not harm him, crimson rain." Jun Wu said.

"Let's see." Hua Cheng said without care. 

"Please don't, San Lang." Xie Lian said.

"Of course, Gege." Hua Cheng immediately promised. 

"Simp." Lynn murmured.

However, the meaning hidden in those words completely flew over Lang Qian Qiu's head. Standing at the far end of the long table, he drove his palm down on the table again. All the ghosts and people who had been crowded around him scrambled to back away as Lang Qian Qiu sent the entire table flying towards the figure behind the curtains. But the red silhouette remained languidly seated, and with a gentle wave of a hand, the long table was sent hurtling back where it came from, straight at Lang Qian Qiu.

Xie Lian tensed when he saw Hua Cheng being attacked but relaxed when it showed him fine and quietly sighed in relief.

Seeing the long table fast approaching him, Lang Qian Qiu thrust out one hand to block it, then quickly realized it wasn't enough and switched to using both hands instead to push it back. As he strained against the table, light blue veins gradually popped up on his forehead. 

Qian Qiu frowned at this, not liking how weak he was compared to the calamity and swore to train harder when they return. 

The previous gaiety in the lobby had dissolved into a messy scene of run and hide for your lives, with Xie Lian and Shi Qing Xuan remaining rooted as they debated whether or not they should lend a hand. After all, while their identities were still concealed, they could still provide aid in secret. If they were to leap out to help Lang Qian Qiu now, they risk being nabbed together.
