Xie Lian stood before the grand entrance of Ghost City's palace, heart pounding with both anticipation and worry. It had been weeks since Hua Cheng, his beloved husband and now the ruler of Ghost City, had disappeared without a trace after proposing to him with a ring made out of his own ashes.
Now, as Xie Lian approached the palace to seek help in finding a missing orphan boy, the doubts and fears gnawed at the back of his mind.
As he entered the palace, Xie Lian could feel the weight of the ghostly gazes upon him. The whispers of the city's inhabitants carried across the corridors, hinting at their surprise that the ruthless Ghost King had shown such kindness towards him.
Xie Lian's steps faltered for a moment, but he pushed on.
Finally, he reached the heart of the palace, where Hua Cheng awaited. The sight of his husband, tall and resplendent in his black robes, sent a warm shiver down Xie Lian's spine.
Hua Cheng turned to face him, a knowing smile on his lips.
"Gege," Hua Cheng purred, his voice like velvet. "You've come seeking my assistance, have you not?"
"Yes, San Lang," Xie Lian replied, his voice filled with a mix of trepidation and longing.
"There is a young boy who has gone missing, and I think only you can help me find him."
Hua Cheng's eyes twinkled, his fingers laced together. "And why would you think that, my dear?"
Xie Lian took a step closer, his heart fluttering like a trapped butterfly. "Because, San Lang, you have the power and the knowledge to navigate the realms of both the living and the dead. You can see what others cannot."
Hua Cheng's lips curled into a smirk, and he closed the distance between them with a predatory grace. "Ah, Gege, always so clever. Very well, I shall assist you in your quest. But in return, I demand a little something extra."
Xie Lian's breath hitched, anticipation mingling with a flicker of heat. "And what would that demand be, San Lang?"
Hua Cheng leaned in, his warm breath ghosting over Xie Lian's ear. "Just a small taste of your sweet lips, my dear husband."
Their lips crashed together in a heated make out session.
Hua Cheng pinned Xie Lian against a wall, and kept kissing him, if this kept on going Xie Lian would Surly lose his breath..finally Hua Cheng pulled away and Xie Lian was blushing from embarrassment as he made eye contact with Hua Cheng.
"Very well, Gege..I'll help you find this child you are seeking" Hua Cheng then smirked as he summoned one of his assistants..
"Look for a child, with bloody bandages, and bring him to me" Hua Cheng said coldy.."Yes, my Lord" the assistant immediately left.
