Ling Wen has found the location and Hua Cheng immediately with there. He asked Lady Wind Master to look after Qi Rong first.
He arrived at Yiling, the location where Ling Wen told him about Xie Lian's whereabout and started searching him.
"Thank you so much, Your Highness. I will do anything for Your Highness in return of keeping me safe and return myself back into my body again," he heard a child mentioned His Highness so he whipped his head to that child's direction.
It was a spirit of child talking to his own body instead. What a surpise that Hua Cheng also could see His Highness's soul behind the child's body. Xie Lian rather looked like he was really in control of that body. It was true indeed about Xie Lian took over this child's body while the child's soul was by his side.
"Your Highness," Hua Cheng approached them.
"Ah! San Lang! I'm here!" Xie Lian waved his hand at him.
"Your Highness, this is?" Wei Wuxian asked him.
"Crimson Rain Sought Flower, Hua Cheng," Hua Cheng introduced himself.
"Crimson Rain Sought Flower, Crimson Rain Sought Flower, Crimson Rain Sought Flower..." Wei Wuxian mumbled to himself, tried to figure out which god was this.
"Wei Ying, this is not a god like me. It's our one of the Four Calamities, Ghost King, Supreme Rank Ghost King," Xie Lian helped him.
"Woah, I knew that gods can always be friend with the devils whenever they want. Nice to meet you, Hua Cheng. I'm Wei Ying, courtesy name Wei Wuxian!" Wei Wuxian greeted him. Hua Cheng bent down and held his hand.
"Hmm, of course. Your Highness, should I bring this child back to Heavenly Capital too? That nasty brat has all the details about this spell," Hua Cheng asked him while holding the hand of the child. Wei Wuxian happily accepted it as he knew he was very young and the adults should hold the child's hand avoided from getting lost.
"Mn, we should bring him too. Wei Ying, come with us," Xie Lian patted the child's head. Wei Wuxian only beamed his smile at them even though he was only in spirit.
They arrived at Heavenly Capital, Qi Rong still in all tied up by Lord Wind Master, who was in his male form now. Wei Wuxian greeted them and they also greeted him back. They actually liked this energy from this child. Qi Rong did all the rest of the explaination.
As soon as he finished, Wei Wuxian felt sad. He felt sad that His Highness only can return to his own body once he died, together with the body. But he willingly will do anything for His Highness. He did feel happy-go-lucky that his eyes finally could meet with some gods without dying, even the Ghost King!
"Now, did any of you know how to read his fate or his future?" Xie Lian asked them but they looked away awkwardly as response. Even Hua Cheng shook his head as he didn't know how. Xie Lian only sighed at them.
"Then, tell me, my good ol' dear little cousin. How do we switch places? You explained that he can take over his body only under 12 hours or else his soul will be damaged and I will stuck in his body, unable return to my own body, right?" Xie Lian asked his cousin.
"Pfft, I though you're already figured out about it. Easy, you just let his feet step on his body's feet and you step out. That's all. It's also the same way for you, just step your feet on his feet and he steps out," Qi Rong explained.
"Thank you. Wei Ying, you heard from that cousin of mine, right? Let me hold your hands," Xie Lian held out his hands to him. Wei Wuxian nodded and held his hands too.
Xie Lian carefully let Wei Wuxian placed his foot on his body and repeated the same way on another foot. Xie Lian stepped out from the feet as soon as he finished step in, and it worked. Wei Wuxian finally had his body back and Xie Lian's soul was now by his side.
He bowed to him as an appreciation and Xie Lian only patted his head. He held his little hand and started reading his fate and his future on his palm.
"..."
"... I am very glad that he soon will has a shelter within this week, also glad that today is Monday, someone will pick him up this week.
As for his death... The cause is very difficult to read but he eventually will pass away in his young adulthood," Xie Lian sighed but still held his little hand.
"That must be unlucky of me but I will do anything for His Highness to get his body back!" Wei Wuxian beamed his smile but the small hint of sadness could be seen. Xie Lian went to pat his head again.
"I also want to help this child but us must not change the mortal's fates or there will be caused a lot of butterfly effects. However, I do find something interesting within his body," Hua Cheng stated out. Everyone had his attention.
"Wei Ying, do you have any family member who is an immortal?" he asked the child.
"Hmm... Oh! I do! A-Niang told me that Waipo* is very strong! Waipo is unabled to be defeated easily! I believe that is the meaning of immortal, correct?" Wei Wuxian stated happily.
"Make sense. Wei Ying, you have that little silver core within your body that haven't been unlocked by you. You got it from your mother side's traits. Silver core only makes one turns into immortal once it has been unlocked. I believed that I should not spoil about this as it was out of his fate, right? Your Highness," Hua Cheng stated out.
"En, you're right," Xie Lian scratched his face awkwardly.
"Aww, it's such a waste. What an unlucky of me," Wei Wuxian pouted.
"Hmm... Wei Ying, what's the name of your grandmother if you don't mind telling me. I know some immortals around your area," Ling Wen asked him.
"Oh, it's Baoshan Sanren! My mother is Cangse Sanren and my father is Wei Changze!" Wei Wuxian happily introduced his family to them.
"Ah, that famous immortal Baoshan Sanren from Celestial Mountain... I'm sorry that you lost your parents at 4," Ling Wen looked down, avoided to make eye contacts.
"Eh? Ling Wen, I didn't know about this?" Xie Lian asked her.
"Your Highness, I do know about this. His parents were died while fighting for their life from something dangerous, made them leaving this child. It can't be comfirmed that it was fierce corpse who killed them, it is still unknown until today," Hua Cheng responded to him instead.
"... Ling Wen Zhen Jun, Hua Chengzhu, thank you for telling me. I finally know where they are. May my parents rest in peace," Wei Wuxian bowed to him.
Hua Cheng was about to comfort the child but got interrupted by Qi Rong, "Hello? I'm still here? Don't get emotional in front of me-".
Shi Qingxuan immediately cut his head from the body using his fan, "Ah, sorry about this. This Qi Rong has the audicity to interrupt the child who has been suffered... AHH WEI YING, COVER YOUR EYES. YOU SHOULDN'T WITNESS THIS." he exclaimed loudly in panicked.
Wei Wuxian only laughed at Qi Rong who's now headless as a response, which made him feel relieving about that or else the child will completely traumized by him.
"Oi brat, you shouldn't laugh at the death. You will also meet the same fate-"
"Shut the fuck up, no one asked," Hua Cheng stomped his head to the ground. The head completely ruined and the body also slowly turned into a green fire, slowly disappeared from the sight.
"HUA CHENGZHU, LANGUAGE!!!" Shi Qingxuan language'd him. Xie Lian and Ling Wen only mentally facepalmed as they were helpless about it.
"Hmm? I don't think Wei Ying will swear, right?" Hua Cheng innocently smiled and looked at Wei Wuxian.
"Mn! I will never ever swear at the elders! I need to respect them... Do we allow to swear at someone who is a meanie to us-"
"NO!" Xie Lian and Shi Qingxuan exclaimed together, Hua Cheng smirked at that while Ling Wen slowly backed away. Wei Wuxian still had his innocent face.
"But Hua Chengzhu just sweared at someone who is mean to us-"
"Nonsense! Wei Ying, don't follow this bad Ghost King of yours. He is also known to be a bad, bad meanie. If Wei Ying don't want the people to describe Wei Ying as a rude boy, then don't ever try to swear. Understood?" Xie Lian scolded him which made Wei Wuxian pouted at that.
"Hahaha, Gege, I love his energy. Wei Ying, come with me instead. Gege, from now on, I will unofficially take him as my ward. Wei Ying, let's run away from His Highness," Hua Cheng teased His Highness and picked up the child, ran away from there.
Shi Qingxuan almost fainted at the scene while Xie Lian only facepalmed, knew that those two will have matching energy in the future.
