It was turning dark and the Wind Master, Xie Lian and Y/n sat underneath some trees in the forest, waiting for night to come.
(Lady) Wind Master pulls out a bottle of alcohol from her robe and begins to drink from it. She then offers it to Xie Lian. "Want some?"

Xie Lian waves his hand dissmissively. "No, no...if I have any, I might go crazy..."

The Wind Master shrugs, "How sad,"  and offers the bottle to Y/n. Xie Lian immediately grabs the bottle from Wind Master before Y/n could grab it. "None for you." 

Y/n pouts and crosses her arms. "But whyyy?" While Xie Lian gives Y/n a long lecture about alcohol, it soon turns dark.

They hear footsteps from beyond the bushes and the sound of voices chatting away quietly. The sound broke through the silence which inhabited the forest at this hour - the hour of the rat.

Xie Lian and the Wind Master gave each other a quick glance and a nod before Xie Lian drags Y/n along by the arm as they swiftly join the crowd of what appeared to be women in long white robes. But these weren't ordinary women. If you looked closely, you'd see the disfigured, rotting flesh on their faces and arms. These women were ghosts. One of the soft and calm voices spoke out to another lady beside her.  "Ah, I need to get my face done again...the man at the market promised that mine would keep for another year...but here we are."

They then heard sound of one of the women's hair brushing against the silky fabric of her robe. Her head turning and her eyes burrowing into the three of the unannounced guests, dawdling behind the rest. A demanding voice snapped at them. "Who are you? You're not from around here..." Her voice sparked the suspicion of the other ghosts.

Xie Lian almost stood still, not knowing what to say. Lady Wind Master then quickly blurted out after some thought, "W...We're from a different grave!"

However, this blatant lie didnt draw away their scrutinising eyes. They then spoke up after looking closely and their eyes narrowed at the three of them as Xie Lian, Y/n and Wind Master all held their breath.

The Ghosts all relaxed and crowded around the three of them bursting into exclamations, "Do you have any beauty tips??" to "Your faces are so smooth!" and "You look so beautiful!" Their intimidating eyes now looking more intrigued and in awe.

The three visibly relaxed and Wind Master chuckled nervously, "Haha! I know, I know I look good!" So, naturally, the Ghost women let Xie Lian, Wind Master and Y/n tag along to Ghost City.

They continued walking before the trees began to shift, the wind began to pick up and as Y/n looked up, the forest had changed. Not to a deeper part of the woods, or a river. Suddenly,  a bright flash of red light flashed in their eyes. As Y/n looked around, holding onto Xie Lian's robe tighter, her eyes adjusted to a completely different place.
