[BOOK 2] I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot (BL)

9.22 Second Blue Star - Ghost Festival

Evening. 10 p.m.

It was pitch-black on the banks of Han Lake. The vast and boundless lake water was enveloped by the colors of the obsidian. Countless stars and a huge crimson moon were reflected on the surface of Han Lake. Many humans who live near the river were camping by the side of the lake, spending the night in the open, walking on the grass, and having fun. However, they would never have thought that at this very moment at the center of the lake, the gathering of the greatest ghost market of the ghost world had already begun.

Xue Hua walked along this long passageway of ghost fire for approximately five minutes holding the hands of his husband. Behind them, his elder brother and the Fox God follow after their steps. They were currently walking on the surface of the Han River far from the eyes of human lands. When they reached the end, the Ghost King, Xie Mo, extended his hand to cut apart the dense fog that obstructed them.

Everything suddenly became clear. Thousands of ghosts and inhuman beings had already gathered at this ghost market. Of course, there are some humans but most of them wear a mask to hide their appearance. Only Humans with abilities to protect themselves like shamans and ghost controllers could have the confidence to attend such a large Ghost Festival.

Xue Hua stood in the corner of the ghost market to observe. The ghost market was hovering above Han Lake, covering at least a hundred thousand square meters. At this time, a ghost guide was currently standing at a corner of the ghost market. There were countless ghosts who had set up small stalls on the surface of the lake in a seemingly disorderly manner but were in fact orderly disorder. They faintly formed into a perfect ten-sided figure. Xue Hua and his group were wearing ancient robes which are supposed to let them blend easily into the crowd.

The Ghost King just wore his usual ancient black and red robes when he was in his real form, though his hair was short like when he is in modern human form to match his wife's short white hair. There is supposed to be no need for him to cover his face with a mask as his aura was enough to tell every being in the area that he is a ghost king but his wife asked him to wear a black mask that covered half of his face revealing everything below his nose.

Beside him, his wife is wearing ancient red and black robes unlike what the ghost king wore, his robe had more red than black which is opposite of what his husband wore. On his face is the black-colored veil which hid the face of his face revealing only his phoenix-shaped crimson eyes.

Meanwhile, the other couple wore a different type of clothing. The Fox God, Hu Yue, just wore his usual kimono covering himself with his black fox mask. Beside him, Xue Yan was forced by him to wear a white black striped kimono and a white veil-like his little brother on his face. The truth is Hu Yue wanted him to wear a white fox mask instead, but Xue Yan disagreed saying that he hated something covering his face, the veil was already within the boundaries of his tolerance.

This is why instead of the fox mask, the Fox God instead put an illusion spell on Xue Yan making it that a pair of fox ears appears on his head hiding his human ears even changing his original black hair to white. The same fox ears appear on the Fox God's head. Black Fox ears.

Looking around Xue Hua found that the ghost festival is not that much different from the ordinary festival. Human food stalls can be found as well though there are more ghost stalls that sell antique things like old calligraphies, porcelain vases, and such.

Xue Hua saw a stall that sells ice cream and immediately pulled his husband to buy it for him. "Fujun, I saw ice cream."

Ghost King Xie Mo who let himself get pulled while protecting his wife from the crowd, "Qizi don't run." He said while dragged over towards the said Ice cream stall by his wife.
