what was this madness? The words ran into Shen Qingqiu's mind as he looked down at the table, it having small movements as the bumps showed the carriage a ride. Hearing the words come from his disciples outside, hearing the muffled words from his dear friends sitting with him. It was like he was trapped, focussing on only the table and the thoughts that preformed a show to entertain the mind. His fan moved carefully, his hand going back and fourth as the wind touched the sweating skin. It seemed to get hotter as they were travelling in the woods, all the way to Gusu. Heatwaves it would be, trying to get the male to pass out though it would not happen anytime soon. How come the others did not feel hot? Not having the feeling of sweat running down their faces? He wondered to himself as his other hand helped to get the wind onto his pale, yet rough, skin. 

"Shen Qingqiu?" The senses seemed to rush back in as his reality snapped back into shape. Looking at the two characters, he sighed. Closing the fan before putting it down onto the wooden table. Horrible it was to have this warm 'weather' get ahold of him. The soft voice was the one that spoke, the brown haired male waving in front of the other. "Ah, sorry." He said, a smile coming onto his face, such a beautiful grin. 

How could this other stand the heat with those.. bandages wrapped around his neck and underneath his robes? Pondering, the male sighed. His feelings were now drawn to the two. 

"You blacked out. We were talking." The other said, the stern voice mixing into the sound of the carriage moving about. Shen Qingqiu looked at Lan Wangji, giving a guilty nod towards him. 
"My apologises," Shen Qingqiu said, a stutter coming out at the end. "Where were we?" He said, smiling at the two while being ever so gentle with his words. Not going to upset the two, especially with their journey to the attacked clan. 
"The festival, one held by a town near my home. I was just wondering if you two would want to come with? Just to settle down from this mess. It is in a couple of months.. so no need to stress." 
The two silent men looked at each other for a moment. It was something that they would come to with Xie Lian every year, nothing changed expect the theme of it. Lan Wangji nodded, his hair moving with his head as it went up and down. 
"Like every time, I will have to see. It depends on how busy this master is." It was the same response every time, he would have to see if he was busy or not and whether he could travel to the rural area. 

"Perfect!"

The water poured onto the male's body as he waited for those of care would come to his need. He sighed, putting on a robe while looking around the empty space. Only some candles and a mirror stood in the area. A pillow sat near the mirror, though still being out of view of the reflections. The small steps echoed in the huge room. A female voice range in the ears of the demon, his eyes looking at the mirror that had the view of the beautiful maidens. He smirked, his hand waving them to come near him as he faced the opposite way of their stances. 

The touches of the brush tickled the male's face as the makeup was being applied to the fake skin. His eyes were shut cold as the warm fingers touched near the male's eye, placing down a texture that would reshape his face, though only slightly. He smiled as the nails touched down onto his forehead, though getting that smile turned down as they touched the middle of his head. The red stain now covered with makeup all around the face. 

His eyes opened, looking around the empty space as one of the presences left to grab the mirror, her hands placed against the gold tightly as she walked to the lord. The reflection showed an entirely different face than he had before. He turned his neck, the sharp jaw-line now looking younger. It was perfect. Ever so perfect for the demon. 

He dismissed the two ladies, they bowed as they took off to their duties. If he was going to go to the human realm, better look like someone who comes from there. Right? The following days he had been setting arrangements for his duties to be given to his desired men. He sighed, smiling at the near future that he would get. This time it would be the people dying from his hands, not his orders. 

A knock echoed as the tall doors were pushed open to reveal two tall men walking into the area. Seeing the new look of the demon. 
"Wow, so nice." Wei Wuxian said as he ran to the other, looking intensely at the face. Seeing the details put into makeup. "never thought I would see Luo Binghe with more of a baby face now." He said with a grin following his face. Though, soon got a look from the sitting man to be quiet. "Sorry sorry." He apologised as he walked away to Hua Cheng, putting his arm on the shoulder. 
"as you can tell," He waved with his hand up and down in between the two men." We are both ready to go on this.. adventure to say the least!" 

Luo Binghe examined the others, seeing the new features plastered onto them. Hua Cheng seemed to be looking the same.. though now he looked more optimistic. The red robes matched well, lighter than the usual blood that they both had. Now.. the other had another eye? So surprising. Luo Binghe then examined the other, he looked like he was placed into a different body now, wearing a stone mask to put more onto his appearance. 

"Perfect."
