The Dragon & The Fox [on hiatus]

Chapter II: Reunion

          The look on Hua Cheng's face can't be explained as he was in a state of shock, hearing those words coming out of the other's mouth. "Heh! You have the nerve to call our Chengzhu by his name! Who are you to barge in here, you're just a daozhang wanting to lose a limb or what?!" a ghost piped up, as every ghost present heard what this 'daozhang' said, "oh really? I didn't know that I couldn't call my brother by his name?" Wei Ying said, getting annoyed with these ghosts. Then he thought of an idea and smirked, "have you heard about the new ghost king? The one who slaughtered one whole sect in one night in two incensed times?" he said loudly, purposely so that everyone could hear what he was saying. "The new ghost king? Yeah, he was awesome for murdering one sect in one night. What does that have to do with you?" The moon prince just grinned, feeling a bit proud that they were talking about him when they were hating him a second ago.

          "What if I told you...that I am the 5th calamity?" He wanted to know and was curious if they really believe he's the new ghost king, he is still wearing his veiled bamboo hat but he can see very clearly despite the veil being a thick material. "You? The new ghost king? Hah! Dream on!" Every ghost laughs at the 'daozhang' for telling them nonsense, Hua Cheng now sits back down on his seat and watches this scene unfold. 'The new ghost king? There was a thunderstorm few years ago, and mount tong'lu was shaking too. Could this be that this person is really the new ghost king?' Hua Cheng thought to himself, "Chengzhu, why don't we have him boil or cook and eat him together?" a ghost said and Hua Cheng heard it clearly, "hmm, I'm sure that i ain't that taste. Why don't we duel instead?" the veiled person spoke up, while fanning himself with a black fan.

          Hua Cheng could tell that it wasn't an ordinary fan, it was a war fan. "How bout you, dear Cheng ge? Do you agree?" this person kept calling him 'Cheng ge' is he who he thinks he is? Hua Cheng then called his worker and told him that he agreed on these 'daozhang' words, then proceeded to roll the dice and arrive at a clear ground. The others follow as well, knowing where their Chengzhu went. "Now, shall we start?" Wei Ying smirks to himself knowing that he'll win at the end, then the bell rings indicating the match has started. The Moon prince just stood there, fanning himself, there's no rule in this match and the ghosts can do anything. "Hmm, no one wants to fight me? Oh well, I guess I call it I won then" just as the sentence finished, a ghost ran up to him in full speed. Wei WuXian dodged the ghost like he wasn't there in the first place, the ghost has a torso down of a goat, body up of a human and on his head lies a horn that was twisted.

          "Is that all you've got?" The provocation worked in making anyone feel the need to finish this 'daozhang'. "When are you gonna take off your hat? Bet you're just a blind daozhang wanting to throw your life fighting with ghosts", the others laugh at this remark, Wei Ying just smiles evilly. "Why? Are you that curious to see my handsome face?" he said while dodging the ghost's attacks, "or was it that you'll be shocked to death to see who i really was?" he laughs while still dodging the attacks coming at him. "Why aren't you attacking back you coward? Fight like a man you fool!" It was all a strategy to fight, let the opponent strike till they're tired and then you'll strike back. 'This daozhang is clever, waiting for his opponent to get tired then strike back' Hua Cheng is seeing all this and notices what the younger is doing, 'i might make him my subordinate later' and the fight is still going with Wei Ying dodging and the ghost attacking.

          "It's getting boring here," he yawned. "Why don't we get to some real business here" suddenly the night became windy and the moon turned blood red, "w-what are you actually?" "me? Didn't I already tell you?" Wei Ying threw his bamboo hat somewhere else and all the ghosts including Hua Cheng, who was shocked to the core. 'A-Ying? What is he doing he-wait, is he the one making mount tong'lu shook? But how?' Hua Cheng was thinking if he should go or not, he chose the first one. "A...a-Ying? What, how? How have you...become like this?" he slowly made his way towards the Moon prince who's in the middle of clear ground, Wei Ying turned to see his gege making his way to him. "A-Xian?" Hua Cheng now is in front of the black fox, looking in those eyes that held longings, those eyes were red in colour. "Yes, Cheng ge? Is there something wrong?" Hua Cheng didn't wait for any other response and pulled Wei Ying in his embrace and hug him tight, the witnesses were shock.
