Cold Palace
Water Master kneeled in front of the cold palace under the hot sun, she's been here for half an hour only, and she had started to lose her focus, water elementals shouldn't stay under the sun for long or in hot temperatures for prolonged period of time . She was kneeling with the thought that two hours would pass by immediately as they usually did. But it was harder since she was still recovering from her poor health, it was difficult for her to do this but she was stubborn too so she kneeled by the cold palace gates when she suddenly felt a shade on her face, she looked up to see Ghost King standing there shielding her from the sun,
" Leave, it's my punishment," she told him
" Don't assume that I am here for you, I was just passing by and saw this place it looked interesting, so I came to have a look," he remarked casually
" Stand somewhere else then," she replied back
" I like this place," he said firmly
ShuîYuê shook her head . She didn't feel as hot as before as the sun wasn't on her head directly. Instead, Ghost King stood there as sweat rolled down his temples,
" I am sorry about his Majesty," she apologised to him,
" Why are you sorry for him ?" he asked calmly,
" He isn't like this, really, but it was still insulting," she answered softly,
" I don't feel insulted," he claimed, turning his head around as he observed the place,
" That's good," she said, unsure of what to say,
" Water Master ? "
" Hmm."
" What do you think about that woman who was a prostitute ? How would her son feel to have a prostitute as his mother ? "
" He would be proud, his mother loves him, that she is trying her best to raise him so he should feel proud to have a mother like that," ShuîYuê replied soothingly, her calm eyes looking at Ghost King,
Chéng Huá stared at her, ' You aren't like I thought you would be,' he thought to himself,
" Was your mother really a prostitute ?" she asked carefully. His face turned hard as he looked away,
" I- I am sorry, I didn't mean to, please don't be upset !" she apologised, panicking, waving her hands around anxiously,
" She was, and I am not upset," he stated calmly,
" Please, I am sorry !- She stopped mid sentence, realising what he said- Oh, Oh, she must be so pretty," ShuîYuê rambled without thinking, ' Why am I so stupid ?' She asked herself, embarrassed once again,
Ghost King stared at her before he broke into laughter, she looked up to see him laughing with his head thrown back, he had tears in his eyes from laughing too hard, his body shook as well, for some reason she liked hearing him laugh, she would like to see him smile more,
