The four of them sat in corner of the dilapidated room. Everyone was staring at Xie Lian's card.

"What's that card for?" Wei Wuxian asked. It is a (1)Tiānshǐ de qìxí magic card.

"It says in the card that this can cure any illnesses of all kinds. I am not really sure of what poison attaches to Lan Wangji's body, but I think he can be cured by this." Xie Lian said, showing them the card. 

"That's great! As long as Lan Zhan will be healed, we will try everything." Wei Wuxian looked at Lan Wangji. Since he already wiped the blood away from his face down to his neck, it only left patches of black, showing his dark-greenish veins.

"How does the card works?" Lan Wangji asked, then he coughed blood, which made Wei Wuxian panic. 

"Xie Lian, please do it now. Use that card. Let's save Lan Zhan first." Wei Wuxian begged. 

"I'd rather you call him 'Your Highness'. You don't have the right to demand him of anything." Hua  Cheng spoke sternly, eyeing Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian also stood tall, getting annoyed at this red-clad man. 

"Aye, San Lang, it's okay. He can call me anything he wants. I'm not a crown prince anymore. I'm just a scrap-collector god, nothing special." He shyly said. 

"Wait, you're a crown prince? I mean, you were an ex crown prince and a scrap-collector god. Does that mean you really collect scraps? Or, it's just a title?" Hua Cheng eyed the one talking, looking like he wants to kill him anytime. 

"Wei Ying..." Lan Wangji muttered under his breath, the poison was spreading quickly all over his body. 

"Your Highness, please." Wei Wuxian clasped both of his hands, asking for help.

Xie Lian then raised the card and uttered, (2) "Yòng!"

The card turned to smoke, and a beautiful, bright Angel dressed in white linen appeared in front of them out of nowhere. She is floating and her lower body was somewhat covered in mist.

"Wow!" Wei Wuxian exclaimed at her beauty and splendor. 

"Please cure Lan Wangji." Xie Lian said. The Angel went to Lan Wangji, and blow a magic air towards him. Lan Wangji closed his eyes, the black patches disappearing one by one. In just a few minutes, he looked perfectly healed and fine. The Angel quickly disappeared from their sight as long as she finished her job.

"Wait!" Wei Wuxian exclaimed but it was too late. "I should've asked her for some information." 

"It's not gonna work." Hua Cheng blurted. 

"Yes, we even tried asking some of the enemies that we have encountered about what is this place, but it seems like they were also trapped here. So we got nothing from them. We were fighting some of the tripled-eye monsters when we met Lan Wangji. He wasn't able to fight very well because he was trying to protect you at all cost." Xie Lian added. 

"I think we're done with this business. Gege and I will go on our own now." Hua Cheng said, holding Xie Lian's hand.

"Wait. I need to repay you somehow for healing my friend."

"Wei Ying, I'm your husband." Lan Wangji interrupted. Wei Wuxian giggled. "Yes yes, he's my husband. We just got married, and we didn't even spend our honeymoon enough, and yet we're here, facing dangers we don't even know about."

"What's a honeymoon?" Xie Lian asked. 

"Gege, I think that's a food that they need to eat to consummate their wedding." 

"What? HAHAHAHAH! What food are you talking about?" Wei Wuxian laughed out loud, Lan Wangji supported his arms so he will not fall.

"How dare you laugh at His highness?!" Hua Cheng grabbed his waistbelt, only to find out that E'ming is not here, and they can't even use their spiritual powers here. So he just glared at Wei Wuxian deadly.

"Okay, okay. A honeymoon is a special time you spend with your husband away from the world. It is where you kiss and make love, do everything that married couples do and-"

"Wei Ying!"

"Yes HAHAHA that's a honeymoon." Wei Wuxian said proudly.

"Oh. Just like what we are doing, San Lang. Right?" Xie Lian looked at Hua Cheng. Hua Cheng swallowed hard and nodded.

"Wow! Is he your husband too?" Wei Wuxian inquired.

"Yes, he is." 

"Do you have a problem with that?" Hua Cheng raised an eyebrow.

"Nothing. I just thought that His highness deserved so much better." 

Xie Lian chuckled, holding Hua Cheng's hand tightly, trying to calm him down.  "Not really. It is I who thinks that I don't deserve him. He's too good to be true."

Hua Cheng looked at Xie Lian, finally letting out a smile.

"Thank you for your help." Lan Wangji bowed at Hua Cheng and Xie Lian then turned to Wei Wuxian. "Wei Ying, let's go and find valuable cards."

"Yes, and some food too. I'm hungry as a horse."

"Okay then, let's meet if fate allows." Xie Lian said, making a bow with his hands folded in front. Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji did the same. They part ways and start to face this journey head-on.
