Pei Ming wielded a sword in one hand, and the other was smoothing his hair back; his hair perfect, his charm unruffled, "Not quite alright, but mostly alright."
Still not cooked after being roasted and boiled, martial gods certainly possessed very stubborn life forces.

"Let's go. But, don't leave my side. If anything should happen I will protect you."
Hearing this, Hua Cheng was stunned.
It was a good moment before the corners of his lips curled, and he gave a big smile, "Alright. Gege, remember to protect me."
"..." Mu Qing watched on the side, his eyes unreadably upset or disgusted.

"Wait, me too, I'll go too."
The crowd parted to see, and only then did they notice that the one who spoke was actually Mu Qing. Since who knows when, he had been standing at the very back of the crowd.
Xie Lian saw him emerged and breathed in relief, "Mu Qing? When did you come? Where did you go earlier? I thought you went missing too."
However, Mu Qing said, "I've always been here."
Hua Cheng crossed his arms, giving him a side-eyed look, "Always been here, but you didn't speak and you didn't help either, huh?"
Mu Qing replied dryly, "I said I've always been here. It's just that I didn't speak, and none of you saw me, that's all."

"No! Think closely, the fact that he even came is suspicious. By his personality, why would he go through the danger to come rescue people? Is that even Mu Qing?"
Mu Qing's face grew darker, "Don't say things like they're absolute. Having a son isn't something you'd do, yet here we are?"
"..."

Xie Lian replied, "Yes! I promised you. Besides, there were so many sabres, spears, and swords, if they all stabbed me, won't I have been stabbed to mush? Hahahaha..." He started to laugh, but then he couldn't laugh on anymore, because when he said the word 'stab', Hua Cheng abruptly turned to stare at him.
That gaze was hard to describe, but it stumped all the words Xie Lian had to say.
Then, Hua Cheng suddenly reached out, and pressed him hard into his arms.
Feng Xin was bringing up the rear and was shaken, "What the fuck? I'm still here???"
Xie Lian blinked, and patted Hua Cheng's back, "What is it?"
Hua Cheng whispered, "Your Highness, please don't laugh like that anymore."
He hugged Xie Lian tightly, "It's not funny, really... it's not funny at all."
"..."
Recalling how before when he picked up those skull bones covered with corpse poison, and Hua Cheng's face then was already that unpleasant, Xie Lian felt apologetic, "I'm sorry, I won't joke about this with you again. I just didn't want you to worry, but didn't think it'd have the opposite effect."
Feng Xin looked as if he was startled by this mood, and was flabbergasted for a while, "I... agree too? Since he's so serious about it..."
Hua Cheng finally let Xie Lian go and said quietly, "Let's go."
