The Crown Prince Beloved

Battles

Hua Cheng took a deep breath, steeling himself for the battle that lay ahead. He stepped out of the room, his black robes billowing behind him, exuding an aura of power and dominance. His eyes, normally filled with warmth and affection, now burned with a fierce determination.

As Hua Cheng made his way through the halls of Ghost Realm, he noticed the chaos unfolding around him. The sound of clashing weapons, shouts, and the occasional explosion reverberated through the air. The heavenly officials and the Ghost Realm's forces were engaged in a fierce battle against the unknown attackers.

Hua Cheng swiftly made his way to the front lines, his elegant yet deadly fan materializing in his hand. With a flick of his wrist, gusts of dark energy swept through the enemy ranks, dispersing them and giving his soldiers an advantage. His movements were fluid and graceful, his combat skills honed through countless battles.

As the battle raged on, Hua Cheng's mind remained focused on his family's safety. He couldn't shake off the worry and protectiveness he felt for Xie Lian and Hua Ying. He trusted that Wei Changze and Cangse Sanren would keep them safe, but his heart yearned to be by their side.

With each opponent he defeated, Hua Cheng's determination grew stronger. He fought not only for the safety of his kingdom but also for his beloved husband and son. He couldn't bear the thought of losing them or allowing any harm to befall them.

As the battle continued, Hua Cheng's power surged. He unleashed his full might, summoning dark energy and unleashing devastating attacks upon his enemies. His presence alone struck fear into the hearts of those who dared to oppose him.

Meanwhile, Xie Lian clutched Hua Ying tightly in his arms as they remained hidden in a safe location. He whispered soothing words to his son, trying to calm the child's trembling form. Xie Lian's heart ached with worry for Hua Cheng, but he trusted in his husband's strength and abilities.

After what felt like an eternity, the battle finally subsided. The attackers had been driven back, and peace was restored to the Ghost Realm. Hua Cheng emerged from the battlefield, his clothes stained with blood, yet his expression victorious.

Xie Lian watched with a heavy heart as Wei Changze and Cangse Sanren took Hua Ying away to a safe location. The young prince clung tightly to his surrogate parents, unaware of the danger that surrounded them. Xie Lian trusted Wei Changze and Cangse Sanren with his son's life, knowing that they would do everything in their power to protect him.

With a final wave and a whispered prayer for their safety, Xie Lian turned and made his way back to the Ghost City. His steps were determined, his heart filled with worry and determination to fight alongside his husband. The safety of their family depended on their strength and unity.

As he entered the city, the aftermath of the battle greeted him. The streets were littered with fallen enemies, the air still heavy with the scent of blood and magic. The Ghost Realm's forces were regrouping, tending to the wounded and reinforcing their defenses. Xie Lian could see the weariness etched on their faces, but their spirits remained unyielding.

He walked through the carnage, his eyes searching for the familiar figure of Hua Cheng. It didn't take long for him to find his husband, who stood amidst the wreckage, his presence commanding and formidable. The Ghost King had his fan in hand, the dark energy surrounding him like a shroud, as he surveyed the battlefield with intense focus.

"San Lan!" Xie Lian called out, his voice carrying a mix of concern and determination.

Hua Cheng turned at the sound of his name, his gaze softening as he saw his husband approaching. He closed the distance between them swiftly, wrapping Xie Lian in a tight embrace. The scent of blood and smoke clung to Hua Cheng, but it was overshadowed by the warmth and love radiating from his embrace.

"Gege," Hua Cheng whispered, his voice filled with a mixture of relief and worry. "Are you safe? Is A-Ying with Changze and Cangse?"

Xie Lian nodded, his voice steady despite the turmoil within. "Our son is safe, entrusted to Wei Changze and Cangse Sanren. They will keep him protected until this threat is vanquished."

Hua Cheng's grip tightened momentarily before he released Xie Lian, his eyes scanning his husband's face, searching for any signs of harm. "I'm glad he's safe. We must end this swiftly and reclaim our peace."

Xie Lian reached out, his hand brushing against Hua Cheng's cheek in a gentle caress. "Together, San Lang. We will face this challenge as we have faced countless others before. We are stronger together."

A flicker of a smile danced on Hua Cheng's lips, a mix of determination and love shining in his eyes. "Always, Xian-gege. We are unstoppable when we stand as one."

They knew the battle ahead would be arduous, but their resolve burned brighter than ever. The enemies that threatened their family and their realm would soon realize the depth of their mistake.

As they prepared for the next wave of attackers, their conversation turned to tactics and strategies. They shared their insights and devised a plan to outwit and overpower their adversaries. Xie Lian's wisdom and Hua Cheng's tactical brilliance merged, forming a formidable alliance that struck fear into the hearts of their enemies.

The battle raged on, each clash of swords and explosion of magic echoing through the Ghost City. Xie Lian fought with all his might, his divine powers unleashed in a dazzling display.
