The Notorious Villains Saves the World

II

"Gege."

"Woah! What a lively city." Ah.. just when will this brat shut up? Hua Cheng rolled his eye and faced Xie Lian.

"San Lang... Wow! You brought friends! I am Xie Lian, nice to meet you!"

"Wei Wuxian of Gusulan." Wei Wuxian is a natural talker, of course, he'd click with Xie Lian without a second. "San Lang? I thought your name is Hua Cheng?"

"Luo Binghe."

"My pet name for him." Xie Lian smiled and faced Hua Cheng. The other two couldn't help but salute. "Thank you for rolling the dice ge."

"Hm. I was missing you." Xie Lian smiled at him.

"For the wine, take this as payment." Hua Cheng said and sends two silver butterflies to both, Demonic Cultivator and the Demon Lord. "Go inside, ge."

"Hm. Take care of them."

"A lovely person." Wei Wuxian couldn't help but praise Xie Lian. It made Hua Cheng smile at him, "say, is he your other half?"

"You can say that."

"Haha! I remember Lan Zhan at him! He always wears white! What was so good about white anyway, they looked like mourning. I guess I was right... Living peacefully... Huh. He must be precious."

" of course... He's the last man in the world, I ever wanted to get hurt."

Luo Binghe, "He's a good person."

"Finally got to hear your voice. I thought you were mute... Woe is me, you two let me handle the talking." Wei Wuxian chirped to Luo Binghe who just scowled at him, "and you remind me of an angry eggplant."

"Of course who would dare interfere with that talk, you wouldn't stop talking." Luo Binghe childishly replied, "and I am not an angry eggplant."

Wei Wuxian laughed out loud while tapping Luo Binghe's shoulder. He loves to annoy people like him. "I have a mouth and the mouth is used for talking!"

"Want to make me shut you up." Xin mo sword is about to get unsheathed. Wei Wuxian ran as fast as he to Hua Cheng and hid behind him, "Cheng-Xiong! He-Xiong is bullying me!"

"You're not a kid." He shrugged and glanced at the troublesome youth. Another silence filled the spaces. They were not friends but it seemed like having this kind of conversation seemed normal.

Wei Wuxian touched the butterfly, white light surrounded him. It was the same feeling when they were transferred back.

"Say, Matter Hua." Wei Wuxian called, "why did you try leaving that place? The old man could have been right."

"simple... for me... being with gege is my priority. I can say it to you and that—Lan Zhan."

Wei Wuxian smiled at him. He understood that behind those smiles, a fragile person hides. No wonder, no wonder, this person must have done something irredeemable before. Hearing old enemies going back to life would truly shake him.

"For me... Everything doesn't matter as long as I am with him."

"Why so?" Wei Wuxian asked, "are you not afraid to undergo the same whole ordeal all over again.?"

But what could Hua answer, "there's nothing more painful than to watch with your own eyes your beloved be trampled and ridiculed, yet be unable to do anything. Leaving him alone would be the last thing on my mind... After all, being not able to remain by side is the worst suffering in the world—"

Hua Cheng heard a loud thud not far from him. He turned around to see who fainted but the instant broke the composure he had. He ran to Xie Lian as fast as he can. He sees him writhing in pain, rolling on the ground while grasping his neck. Wei Wuxian and Lou Binghe followed suit and witnessed the appearance of black markings on Xie Lian's neck, wrist, and Hua Cheng's guess, ankle.

It was the same marking as before. Hua Cheng poured spiritual energy on Xie Lian to break the sealing spell, however, the markings turned to crimson red, blood oozing from it along with the presence of another white robe man standing before them.

"XianLe... We meet again."

The voice Hua Cheng swear he would never hear again reverberated with the air. Hua Cheng stopped giving Xie Lian spiritual energy, ready to battle the trash.

No way. No way, he could be alive.

He got beaten by Luo Binghe who attacked the white-robed man.

"Fufufu... Enjoy my gift to you... Until then, Crimson Rain Sought Flower, His Highness, Crown Prince XianLe."

Even before Luo Binghe's sword and Wei Wuxian's sealing array could reach, the said man vanished from sight. Leaving them confused and unsure of what to do.

"The old man was right." Luo Binghe gritted.

"Then that means..." Wei Wuxian had a cringed smiling expression, "we fucked up!"

However, in this ghost city, an angry ghost king couldn't be more dangerous than ever.

Luo Binghe and Wei Wuxian have their backs shiver.

Never mind the fucked up situation.

They're about to get killed by Hua Cheng.

Scary dude.
