Things thought lost are found, old secrets come to light, and one moment changes everything. For centuries, Xie Lian had wandered alone with only RuoYe for company. For centuries, he's been nothing but a reflection of an age long forgotten, powerless and bound to the mortal realm. It takes an encounter with a swim of hungry ghosts to change his fate.

He had already undone the bindings of Hua Cheng's pants and pulled it down, trailing fluttering kisses downwards from his chest and reaching his abdomen, taking his sweet time to tease. Hua Cheng managed to bite back a groan, his hands locked themselves in Xie Lian's hair. Xie Lian did not budge, occasionally biting and kissing lower and lower. He finally reached San Lang's member. Xie Lian took him in his hands, feeling the heat radiating from it, throbbing in his palm. " Gege you don't have to do this". Hua Cheng's voice was hoarse. The other smiled. "I want to please San Lang tonight". ****** SMUT AND FLUFF DO NOT REPOST THIS WORK ON ANY SITE WITHOUT MY WRITTEN EXPLICIT PERMISSION.
