the ghost king's dancer - tgcf

shi qingxuan's salon

xie lian wasn't unfamiliar with crossdressing.

infact, he was more that familiar with the term. he himself had cross-dressed a handful of times, it wasn't as if it was a hobby of his, but there were times where they were necessary in missions.

occasionally, the heaven's had missions that the busier gods were just too busy to do, so lower ranking gods descended and completed the task for a few million merits. recently, more and more missions have been appointed, though there was only one that always stayed pined on the bulletin board. even when it was worth the most merits.

crimson rain sought flower. the name made any heavenly official tremble at the thought. when the ghost king had appeared on mount tonglu, he had challenged 35 heavenly officials, all who had immense pride on their skills, all except two accepted his challenge.

all 33 heavenly officials were either killed or dishonored by the ghost king. how could any normal being be able to do so?

the mission was to become a female dancer for the ghost king and seep out any piece of information one possibly can. it sounded simple enough to xie lian. though how would he afford the costume, the jewelry? the makeup? it made his head spin just thinking about it.

so he decided to ask ling wen for help, perhaps she knew someone or she herself would be able to help xie lian?

"ling wen, are you there?"

"yes your highness, is there a problem?"

"um do you perhaps know anyone who can help me with um how do i say this-"

"..."

"crossdressing?"

"i know someone your highness, ill send them to you right away" xie lian couldn't help but smile as he thanked ling wen for he help. and at the fact that he perhaps wouldn't have to pay for the services.

(a few minutes later)

well it wasn't exactly what he had expected, the service wasn't horrible, infact it was great and done by none other but the wind master herself, shi qingxuan.

"you're xie lian right? im shi qingxuan!" she shock his hand tightly making him feel overwhelmed already, he nodded, "great, follow me!" he followed her into the wind master palace where they were greeted with open arms and taken to a room which appeared to be a bathhouse.

"go in! i already took a bath so no need! take your time and make sure your skin is glowing after the bath! then near the bathhouse is a salt bath which is great for the skin and i highly recommend!" xie lian could only nod and do as told.

but it was true, his skin was glowing and felt soft after both baths.

after that, lord wind master led xie lian to a nail salon inside her palace, which still surprised xie lian, "now, nails! i already have a nail color chosen for you that matches your disguise beautifully! you just relax, alright?" xie lian nodded and sat down next to shi qingxuan. in an instant, a woman sat down across from him and began styling his nails into stiletto styled nails that were painted a matte black.

perhaps it was because he wasn't used to it, but he pressed on his palms with his nails producing a sharp pain yet a nice sensation of some sort.

when they both finished the nail session, shi qingxuan led xie lian to her closet, in the closet were fabrics, millions of shoes, fans, dresses, robes, anything you could imagine in a closet. "now here is your outfit, just put it on and don't worry, ill send you off with plenty of robes!" she smiled and walked off leaving xie lian to dress.

after xie lian dressed himself he left the closet and followed shi qingxuan down another million hallways, until they reached another room.

their were chairs lined up in a vertical line facing the door, shi qingxuan led xie lian to one of these chair and sat him down, she then took out some makeup and began applying it on him. he couldn't help but laugh at himself, was he really doing all this for money?

"done! you can look at yourself in the mirror now!" the wind master said, now in his male form. xie lian stood up and stared at himself in the mirror.

he was unrecognizable. his hair was tied up with a red ribbon, his ear shimmered with gold flashy earrings, his stomach was bare and was decorated with silver belts with red gems that were located near his top. the fabric was a crimson red and felt light on his chest. his lips were a pretty cherry red. his skin contrasted with all the color.

"you look beautiful your highness! your all done!"

"thank you wind master, thank you" he smiled at the wind master sincerely, and the wind master smiled back, "no problem at all! tell me if you ever want to be a girl again!"

"..."

xie lian left the palace and immediately descended the heavens, 'now as to find ghost city' he thought to himself, as he hid in some bushes and fell asleep leaving ruoye to guard him.

when he woke up, he dusted himself off and found a band of ghosts walking as they conversed with each other.

bingo!
