When Wei Ying suddenly disappears one day, it is a quest embarked by Lan Zhan and Sizhui to find Wei Ying's whereabouts, which leads them to a parallel universe.
Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo are tied together by fate, yet apart because of circumstances.
...
"What blasphemy is this!?" An one eyed rooster yells as a long neck turtle beside him falls down. "What have you fed us, Grand Uncle?" Another one croaks and two other monsters run away from our kitchen breathing out fire.
"Nothing! Nothing!" Xie Lian smiles awkwardly while Hua Cheng and Lan Zhan pace languidly into our kitchen. "What is going on?" It was Hua Cheng who questions whilst the rest cower into darkness, "Hua Chengzhu, Grand Uncle's friend fed us some thing called Yiling Conjee, please don't have any. It taste horrible."
"Lan Zhan! Don't trust him. He's lying." Poking my tongue out towards the monster who dared to call my conjee horrible, I place a spoon filled with concoction under my Lan Zhan's lips who dutifully takes a bite. See, it's all fine. These people have weak stomach.
"Scram!" At Hua Cheng's order the kitchen clears out in seconds and it was just the four of us left amidst the confusion.
"Your Highness, do you wish to taste my food?" It amazes me that without much cajoling, Xie Lian was quick to nod and take a huge bite. Waiting with bated breath, it was when he grins happily do I feel at ease. If Hua Cheng thinks that I did not notice the concerned gaze on his beloved, then he is absolutely wrong. I did notice, but chose to ignore it. See, Wei Ying can be good.
"Wei Wuxian, this is amazing! Do share with me the recipe, I wish everyone in Heaven to taste it." See my gaze was quick enough to catch Hua Cheng's subtle mischievous smirk. Hm.
"As you wish, Your Highness." Placing an arm around his shoulders we walk out of the kitchen leaving behind our counterparts to fend for themselves.
"Wei Wuxian, to be honest, it's been quite long since I met such a genuine soul like you. In all these years, you're probably the only one to make me smile with all my heart, of course the only one other than San Lang. Words won't be enough to show you my gratitude, by bringing back my San Lang, you gave this God a new life." With a pause he turns to face me, "If there is anything I can ever do for you, please let me know!"
"Actually, there is one thing I need to seek your help with."
"Oh! What can this soul do to help you, Wei Wuxian?"
"I will let you know soon, cause before that, I need to talk to Lan Zhan about this. He isn't aware of my thoughts and for what I have in mind, this requires Lan Zhan's consent. This soul has always worried his mate, and it did make a promise to not hide anything. Once he is convinced, we shall personally seek your help." Will you accept my sincerity, Lan Zhan? I am afraid that you might not accept this plan. If not, then there is no other way for me to make my promise come true.
"Wei Wuxian, I shall wait for you. Please do remember, now or ever, this Xie Lian will always be there for you. That's a promise." His smile eases the pain in my heart. If nothing, in the end, I have earned a true friend out of the man in front of me.
