Meanwhile at the Celestial realm inside the once Jade emperor palace, Nezha was in one of the offices with Erlang Shen finishing up organizing paperwork. Erlang would help him by pointing at the files where each piece of paper would belong after he finished writing and signing them off. "Geeze who knew being the temporary new emperor would be so tiring heh," Erlang said in a playful sarcastic tone. Nezha chuckled at him. "Well you ARE his nephew, it only makes sense for you to be next in line." Erlang raises a brow at him. "Not really, we will have to leave that up to his wife Wang ma. Besides, I have a lot of cousins to fill that role. I mean, I am flattered others think that, but I have enough work to do along with having to deal with you" he snarks at him. Nezha laughs as he shrugs his shoulders at him. "Fair enough." As they were now putting things away, a celestial guard burst through the door and then bowed to both of them as he pants from running. "Lotus "huff" Lotus Prince Nezha, there is someone here who wants to speak with you!" Nezha and Erlang quickly look at each other and then glance back at the guard. Nezha slightly tilted his head in confusion "Who is it? What do they want?" Nezha asked in a serious tone. The guard looks up at him. "It is the dragon sea prince Aobing, sir! He has a request and wishes to discuss it with you!" Nezha's eyes grew wide suddenly when AoBing was mentioned. With the guard rushing in here to tell him that, Nezha`s expression switched to a very concerned look. Something bad must of happened to his (kinda) husband. Erlang was aware of their relationship, to begin with, so he asked Nezha if he wanted him to come along for support or backup. Nezha refused his offer knowing he had more stuff to take care of due to the downfall of the Jade emperor. Erlang nods to him as he makes his way out the door to leave the two behind. Unfortunately, dragons were not allowed in the palace unless given permission from the higher-ups. It didn't seem right but in fairness, the celestial beings were also not allowed in the castle of the underwater kingdom unless given permission from the dragon king himself. That was the agreement in the peace treaty. Everyone stood to their side of the deal to not interfere with each other's territory. So it was fair trade for both sides. Nezha looks back to the guard. "Take me to him immediately!" He lightly demanded. The guard bows once more "Yes sir" as he then turns around to exit the office. He leads the lotus prince out into the halls that gave the direction toward the entrance of the palace.

Outside the palace stood Aobing waiting at least half a mile from the entrance aware of the rules about dragons not being near the palace. Hopefully making sure he was at the right distance from the building. The celestial realm has stayed true to their side of the deal of the treaty, So he was willing to do the same for them. After all, he was a humble and respectful dragon. As he continued to wait, he looked down to the ground using parts of his hair to hide his face. Embarrassed while fumbling his fingers together in anticipation, he didn't want Nezha to see his messed up face from the aftermath of all the sobbing he did. Finally, the doors of the entrance opened. Aobing lifts his head a little still trying to hide his face as he sees both the guard and the lotus prince step outside. Before making his way toward his mate, he gestures to the guard to leave them so they can talk in private. The guard looked at how far the dragon was from the palace. He then gave a quick bow to the prince knowing he could trust AoBing to continue keeping his distance as he made his way back inside. Nezha hovers down the stairs and then down the walkway toward the ice dragon. As he got an arm's length distance from him Aobing continued to keep his head down. This concerned Nezha. "What happened love? Are you alright?" he hovers closer to him gently taking hold of AoBing's hand with his. Aobing stayed silent for a moment before gently nodding. Nezha's thumb starts to gently stroke the hand of the other as a sign of love and comfort. The dragon slightly tilts up a little doing his best to smile a little while hoping to still have his eyes covered. Nezha uses his other hand to lift the bottom of his chin up to look into his eyes. He is now in shock by the expression of the dragon prince. AoBings eyes were swollen red, his cheeks were flushed along with crust from the now dried-up tears that ran down each side, and his expression gave a hint of being mentally exhausted. Nezha sadly looked at him. AoBing felt guilty about the reaction and quickly turned his head in shame. Nezha once again used the same hand this time to gently grab the side of his face to glance back at him again. Just like with the dragon's hand, he used the thumb of his other hand to gently stroke his face. Nezha finally spoke when he saw the dragon's eyes start to get misty again. "Come, let's get your face washed off with cool water back at my temple. You can tell me everything once you have calmed down, and had a drink, okay love?" Ao Bing smiles at him after he quickly wipes away the tears into the sleeve of his hanfu. He follows Nezha with their hands still being held as they make their way back to his temple.

As they arrived, the shy dragon squeezes their hands gently as a sign of gratitude for his husband. While hovering over the stairs grabbing the handle to open one of the doors, Nezha`s other hand gently squeezes his hand back a few times as a response for comfort. As they got inside, Nezha turned around to pick up AoBing like a bride and flew them both up above one of the ledges that were held up by the columns. Aobing quickly flushed bright red as he tried to struggle out of the arms of his lover from embarrassment. Nezha playfully chuckles at him as Aobing gently scolds him that he can fly up there on his own. The lotus prince tightens his hold around the dragon teasing him affectionately as AoBing continues to push away from him. Tired from the struggle the dragon prince finally gave up and quickly covered his face to hide how red his face was. He hated when his mate teased him like that but he couldn't stay mad at him. He knew his lover was trying to cheer him up a bit. Nezha leaned in to kiss his forehead before gently setting him down on his futon. Aobing still gave him a playful pouting face from still being flushed but quietly laughed it off a few seconds later. They both smiled and gazed into each other's eyes for a bit. The dragon finally breaks the moment by reaching up to grip the celestial's face, gently pulling him into his lips. Nezha leans in to sit down next to AoBing wrapping his arms around him in an embrace to pull him closer to deepen the kiss. They close their eyes as they melt into each other's touch. Without stopping the kiss, Nezha slowly takes his hands to set them on the side of Aobing's arms gently pushing him down onto the futon as he lay right on top of him. They break away for a split second to catch their breath as their lips entwined again. AoBing moaned into the kiss underneath him as he raised his arms up to wrap around his partner's neck. Nezha used one arm to wrap around the other's waist as his other hand went up and stroked his fingers through the hair on his head. They started to get more intense completely forgetting why AoBing was there to begin with. Nezha breaks the kiss as he leans into the dragon's neck giving him light nibbles and kisses. The dragon prince squeaked shutting his eyes from the pleasure as he turned his head to the side to give the one above him better access. His partner then begins to gently lick his neck making him shutter immediately tilting his head back. Then suddenly a few seconds later, the pleasure stopped. Ao Bing whined in confusion as he looked up at his husband. Nezha smiled sitting up still flustered. Frustrated, Aobing quickly sat up to glare at him."What the hell!? Why did you stop!?" Nezha looked at him. "We were getting sidetracked and as much as I want to continue, you still haven't told me what happened. I thought we should get it over with first then continue where we left off afterwards. If you are still up for it later that is." Aobing couldn't believe he had forgotten. He was too caught up in the moment enjoying being touched by his partner. Nezha was always good at holding back when necessary while Aobing… couldn`t. He gets turned on easily due to being a dragon. AoBing always loved their intercourse sessions, especially when the Lotus prince liked to pamper him under the sheets whenever he was in heat. The celestial left while he was in thought. He sighs as he gets up to go use the bathroom to splash his still messy face with cold water. When he came back out, Nezha was waiting for him on the futon with a glass of ice water in each hand. Aobing sits down next to him as he takes one of the glasses his husband offered to him. He takes a couple of sips feeling refreshed as he then turns his head to wait for the other to finish his few sips. Once the glass left his lips, he turned to reach out and hold his empty hand with his. Their fingers entwined as they basked in each other's eyes. Nezha changed his smile to a frown, as he started to speak seriously but in a concerned tone."Now take your time, Tell me what happened."

Back at the Sea Dragon kingdom, both Aobings brothers ran into the office after hearing the explosion. As they came in they saw their father leaning back into his chair eyes closed, deep in thought. The workers around him were in the middle of repairing parts of the walls and fixing the ginormous hole in the roof. The dragon king finally snapped out of it to raise himself out of his chair, making his way to the door. The boys looked at him in concern but he told them he was not hurt. He gestured for his sons to follow him out of the office and led them to the family room. The same room where AoBing and AoJia had their argument started. All three of them sat down on separate couches that faced each other. There was an awkward silence in the atmosphere. Ao Guang finally spoke. "Let's just relax for a bit, my sons. A lot has happened, and we should settle down for a bit until everything has calmed down." Both brothers looked at each knowing where this was going, but they turned their heads back to their father and gently nodded at him. The dragon king will soon explain what happened in that room. He will also add about going too hard on his youngest son due to his temper. He should have thought this through and waited till his work was done for the day to talk to AoBing personally. He felt guilty and immediately knew he was the reason his son ran off. However, he has not changed his mind about the marriage. He is going to continue to stick to it in hoping to reason with his youngest offspring so he will understand it will be the right thing for him. When things settle down, they will start to talk about what they will do next. Ao guang plans to send a search party out to find his son. Knowing their father, both boys will be more than willing to go out and help search for their missing brother. Fortunately for the king, the oldest will have the best guest of where the very first thing the younger dragon has fled off to, and he will NOT like it one bit.
