My Ghost King

Freeing him

Feng Xin

"I'll do it, I'll work with you to get gege out but He Xuan will be with us as well".

"That's fine, I don't have any complaints about that. I'll see you both soon".

I left the mind link and made my way over to Mu Qing who was still in bed. Carefully I climbed in behind him and placed my hand over his forehead. "Your burning up still". He whimpered in response. "Just a little while longer ok, this will be over with soon, I promise". I spoke gently as I rubbed his arm.

"Are you heading out"? He whispered. "I am but you won't be alone. Zhanmado and Cuo will both be here with you, their in Cuo's playroom right now". He nodded. I kissed the top of his head. "I love you Mu Qing". "I love you too, promise me you'll come back". "Always, try to get some rest".

The three of us made our way to the palace of divine might and split up before we approached the palace steps. He Xuan ran off with Hua Cheng to the palace cells while I made my way up the stairs and into Ling Wen's office. "F Feng Xin, your alive".

"Technically I'm the new ghost king". I grabbed Fengshen and froze her to her desk. "I'm sorry but I can't have you interfering in this matter, the ice will melt once my work here is done".

She pulled back trying to get away but it was to no avail. I could feel a wave of energy coming towards me and shot an arrow behind me freezing it. "Impressive, you're much stronger than I had originally thought".

"Mei Nianqing". I said turning around. "What are you doing here Feng Xin, you no longer work for Jun Wu"? "I'm here to get payback on the bastard that hurt the person I love". I shot an arrow at him with an ice wind surrounding it but he managed to deflect it.

"Jun Wu is the emperor here, what he does in his territory is no one else's business but his". "He made it my business when he went after my boyfriend and prince". I shot another arrow this time aiming it at his neck but he managed to catch it with his hand. "Your strong Feng Xin, you always have been but you must keep in mind that I'm just as strong as you, Jun Wu trained me himself after all".

I smirked. "If that's true then why did you just willingly grab an arrow that was laced with poison"? He looked at me shocked before letting go of the arrow and looking at his hand which now had a cut in it. "I made sure to make my arrows extra sharp, Jun Wu made my boyfriend sick so it's only natural I do the same to his. Now go to your emperor and tell him to leave and relinquish his title to Xie Lian, he deserves it way more than the two of you".

Mei Nianqing

My body felt as if it were on fire as he left and I made my way to Jun Wu the best I could. I tried my best to walk but each step became heavier and heavier making my legs feel as if they were made out of lead. All I wanted to do was lay down in bed and have Jun Wu hold me. I knew I'd be ok, I just had to get to him first.

"Mei, where are you? I can tell something's wrong".

His voice was filled with worry.

I'm the only one he truly cares for, I'm glad

"I'm in the hallway trying to get to you".

"Stay there, I'm on my way".

I laid against the wall the best I could as I waited for him to come. Sweat was forming on my face as my body just continued to get hot and his office door opened followed by his arms surrounding me. "What happened? Who did this to you"?
