Xie lian could never forget the nameless ghost who took his fate in his stead. During his long existence, life never ceased to made him remember it, so that when he was begging to feel a bit low, the memory of the ghost haunted him.

Xie lian couldn't believe it : Wu Ming was in front of him. Again he thought. He was about to take on the curse of thousands of resentful spirits. But no, this time xie lian wouldn't allow it. He wont let Wu Ming die for him again. He threw himself in front of the ghost, took out the sword with the idea of stabbing himself with it. Of course Wu Ming kept it still, protecting his god, but his mask was slowly cracking until it entirely fell on the ground with a loud Crack!!

The face under the mask was the one of the young teenage Hua Cheng used as 'San Lang'. So this 'San Lang' looked at the god still smiling but his face was deformed when he mouthed the words "your fault" Xie Lian tried once again to take the sword. He couldn't move. The deformed ghost didnt stop here he smiled even more but tears were flowing, he looked exactly like white-no-face's mask when he said "your highness, my dear highness, look at you, so pitiful, hahahahaha so pitiful AND ALL OF THIS IS ONLY YOUR FAULT. YOU CAN ONLY BLAME YOURSELF. YOU DESTROYED YOUR OWN KINGDOM. YOUR PEOPLE DIED BECAUSE OF YOU. YOUR PARENTS DIED BECAUSE OF YOU. YOUR FRIENDS LEFT YOU BECAUSE OF YOUR INCAPACITY. YOU DECEIVED EVERYONE THAT ONCE BELIEVED IN YOU. YOUR FAULT YOUR FAULT YOUR FAU-"

Xie Lian was excessively shaking when suddenly the voice stopped. He woke up. He felt two things around him, like some protection, he didnt realize where he was and didn't understand it. There was someone talking right next to his ear, a comforting voice "shhhhh don't worry, gege, I'm here now, everything's fine now, just a bad dream". The prince realized he was in his puqi shrine, in his husband's cold arms yet they felt really warm. Hua cheng continued to comfort him, even though he didnt know the reason of his husband being moved this much he still had a general idea of what the nightmare was about.

Xie lian started shaking again while he slowly murmured "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, sorry, sorry, please forgive me, San Lang I'm so so so sorry, im sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry" his husband only looked gently at him embracing him even harder "don't worry gege, like I said everything is fine now" they stayed like this for an unknown amount of time, could be a minute or a year it didn't matter. After some time however Hua Cheng still asked "gege, do you want to talk about it? what was it? Let me help you" Xie Lian only looked up at him, but he couldn't stare for long, Hua Cheng's eye was too piercing for him, a slight brush even appeared on his cheeks.

He started explaining the details to his husband "it was a..nightmare...it was the day...the day where...the day where Wu Ming...disappeared." he stopped as if he couldn't go on anymore Hua Cheng didnt say anything affraid that he would stop xie lian from continuing his explanation "I... I wanted to make things right this time...I tried to take the sword...he...I mean...hum...you?...you didnt let me and then the mask fell off and and Wu ming's face changed it looked like bai wuxiang and he spoke like him too and then I woke up next to you" the last sentences were spoked suddenly fast as if he wanted to end it as fast as he could. Hua cheng looked at him thinking what to say, he loved this man so much, he wanted to tell him that he would never speak like this bastard, that he would always protect him, always love him, always believe in him, after all isn't he his most devoted believer? He could only hug the prince tightly "I love you." The prince was surprised by the sudden confession, he couldn't help but look at the other while he continued "Your highness, I love you, more than anything and everything in this lowly world, you are my one and only god, and I'll love you forever. You dont need to worry about the past, I'm here with you, you know that right?" It was in those kind of moment that Xie Lian was baffled by the love that his husband holded for him, he felt himself melting in an instant hearing those words. Thus he couldn't help but bury his blushing face in his chest. "Hum, yea...I... I know...and mhh... I.. I..I...love you too" saying those last words he stole a peak at his husband to see what he would say, but what he saw wasn't exactly what he expected. Hua cheng actually blushed????? THE Crimson rain sought flower the most feared ghost king, nightmare of all the realms, just blushed?????? Xie lian was once again stunned by this handsome blushing face he couldn't stop staring at him, naturally Hua Cheng noticed and slowly turned his head trying miserably to hide it but Xie Lian wouldn't allow it. Oh no for sure he wouldn't allow his husband to look away when he saw him blush first the first time, right now he really looked like a young teenager embarrassed by the idea of being loved back. Xie Lian couldn't just look at him so he kissed the other's cheek real fast before he began blushing too. Hua Cheng began to come back totally realizing that his god said that he loved him. He just couldn't believe it. Even in his most daring dreams with his god he never ever even thought that one day the prince would say that. When he felt the little peck on his cheek he couldn't help but want more so he bent down to fully kiss his husband. The kiss of course was very welcomed although Hua Cheng suddenly stopped to look at his god "gege...I have a presumptuous request.."

Xie Lian only smiled at him telling him to continue "no...no forget it" Xie Lian knew that his husband still suffered of a very low self esteem so he just pushed him to tell him with a shy smile "no tell me, you already know that I cant refuse you anything huh". Even with that Hua Cheng still looked unsure whether to say it or not "please...again." Xie lian was quite unsure about what exactly Hua Cheng meant by 'again' but the look on his face confirmed it. Seeing his husband like this xie lian couldn't help but smile "I love you". Hearing it again Hua Cheng kissed him, this time it was a passionate kiss, xie lian put his arms around Hua Cheng's neck, kissing him back. They parted a second just enough for xie lian to say it again "I love you, I love you, I love you so much..." it seemed like Hua Cheng really was weak to those words, well actually he was weak to every move, words or even breath that the prince would take but with this, he really couldn't hide it. They were both at loss of words, nothing could precisely define what they were feeling, this uncountable amount of incurable love. Nothing would be enough to describe it, but they understood each other, they didnt need to explain it, it was obvious, they could feel it through each other lips, and every movement they made. Xie lian then though accurately that those nightmare wont scare him anymore, he wont be afraid from now on, he wont need to be because his husband is standing next to him, and now everything is fine.
