8: The Ghost Groom is a Ghost Bride?

A win is a win

Xie Lian took a step forward as soem men stepped back, you glanced at him. „Stay calm, that isn't their blood." he told as he raised his arm.

Suddenly there was this loud sound coming from the forest and you got into and defensive stance. Even if you were not strong enough, atleast Xie Lian could escape. „Hand me your torch." Xie Lian commanded, and the guy that was commanded obediently gave him the torch.

Xie Lian stepped forward, but you stopped him. „Wait. Gege. Let me do it. Please." You pleaded him. You didn't want your Gege to get in trouble after all.

Xie Lian narrowed his eyes and shook his head, about to take a step forward when you grabbed his sleeve. „Can I....atleast stay with you...?" You gloomily looked down at the ground and Xie Lian released a sigh. He didn't like how sad you looked. Xie Lian nodded and walked forward, you stumbling to follow him.

He held out the torch and blood fell on the fire, then he threw it in, revealing corpses falling from the trees. You averted your eyes. You didn't even notice. You, the god of death. Are you growing weaker?

„What happened here?" Fu Yao and Nan Feng approached you from behind. „The work of the green amour...is he the grooms ally? Troubling." Nan Feng exclaimed. You clenched your fist and looked down.

At times you would find corpses of your run down temple. These corpses coming from the Green Amour as a gift to confess his love. They all died because of you..

Xie Lian glanced down, seeing your gloomy expression and frowned darkly, although quickly shook it off to not scare anymore. Fu Yao who has been observing you both however, felt shivers running down his spine at Xie Lians look.

„Green Amour?" Xie Lian asked, wanting to find out more, and why you held such a gloomy expression at the name. Whoever it was, has to pay for whatever they did to you. His face became dark again, but quickly wiped it off when you looked up.

„A-a ghost, nearly a devistation. That's his Trademark. Hanging corpses." Fu Yao crossed his arms, trying to play it cool as if he didn't just stutter.

„We didn't follow this path to the temple, but Y/N did." You looked at Nan Feng at the mention of your name. „When we split up, did anything strange happen that you didn't mention? You didn't run into anyone, did you?" He asked you seriously. You nodded.

„Hmmh. There was this guy with really jingly boots and stuff, he escorted me here, even held out an umbrella for me. Quite the gentleman for sure. He crushed that magic formation with ease. However, as Rouye struck, he disappeared." You told, making hand gestures.

Xie Lian was proud that Rouye attacked the man, after all, he didn't want you to get taken away from him. Especially after he couldn't see you for such a long time..

„So he crushed that magic formation easily, huh? Sounds really dangerous.." Fu Yao said, making you blink. „Dangerous?" you tilt your head. „He didn't seem dangerous at all. Infact he was...very gentle.. Surely it was not the Green Amour. He didn't harm me." You told them with a nod.

Although slightly jealous, Xie Lian smiled at your cute display. „Was there..anything about him?" You hummed. „Silver butterflies." You replied. Although you think a lot of people have them around. You see some near you occasionally.

Fu Yao gasped and began to run, making you blink in surprise. „We need to run!" he said. „What do you mean? We still haven't found the groom." Xie Lian asked and Fu Yao stopped, turning his head to face you, looking over his shoulder. „The groom is a wraith. But this is something far more deadly." He told you and you furrowed your brows.
