    Summary

    In this, Mu Qing dies during the confrotation with Jun Wu and as he dies he wishes things could've been different.

    That he could've had more time with his friends, that he and Feng Xing hadn't allowed the tentative relationship they've been building for two hundred years frizzle into nothing as Xie Lian ascended for a third time.

    He wishes he couldn've been faster, stronger, smarter and had seen the truth behind Jun Wu's act to avoid Xie Lian the pain.

    He dies full of regret.

    And then, opens his eyes an undifined amount of time later. His neck unbroken, his chest whole, and his guts firmly inside him.

    He wakes up to a very concerned Crown Prince of XianLe, who is calling him by his name, and hesitainting to actually touch him, almost afraid to hurt him by accident.

    Summary

    Xie Lian, as usual, faces a series of unfortunate events that lead to his expulsion from a village. After attempting to help the villagers by repairing a roof and preparing food, he inadvertently causes chaos, resulting in a roof collapse, ruined meals, and a fire. As he flees, he tumbles down a slope and injures himself.

    In search of a way to clean his wounds, Xie Lian stumbles upon a stream, where he encounters ghostly boats filled with various spirits. Believing he resembles them in his battered state, he is invited aboard one of the boats to journey to Ghost City. The city is vibrant and full of energy, filled with ghosts and supernatural beings, prompting Xie Lian to feel a flicker of hope that he may finally escape his long streak of bad luck. This marks a potential turning point for him after 500 years of misfortune.

    Summary

    What if Xie Lian was able to salvage the scraps of Wuming's soul, instead of thinking he'd been dispersed? What if, on Wuming's journey to catch up and become powerful for his beloved, Xie Lian was with him every step of the way?

    ___________

     

    That same nightmare - or rather, memory - had been plaguing his mind for weeks now, ever since his second ascension and voluntary banishment.

     

    It was a lie.

     

    Because Wuming was not dispersed…
    Or at least, not completely.

     

    Xie Lian clutched the spirit-trapping pouch containing the fragments of Wuming’s soul to his chest, murmuring both apologies as well as comforting words to himself and the spirit as he rocked back and forth, attempting in vain to regain his bearings.

    Summary

    Xie Lian felt full to the brim with energy, unable to contain any more. He drew back, needing to rest a little, and Hua Cheng let out a wet sob.

    "Dianxia!"

    Xie Lian froze, his head snapping to meet Hua Cheng's pleading eyes.

    He was still affected by whatever had taken over him, it was clear in his hazy eyes, and yet... he just called...

    Summary

    "San Lang!", Xie Lian cried.
    "..."
    Perhaps his voice reached him, for Hua Cheng stared at his face for a long time before abruptly wrapping him in a crushing hug.
    Seeing that Hua Cheng listened and stopped forcefully pumping spiritual power into him, Xie Lian sighed a breath of relief. However, as he stood in Hua Cheng's embrace, he could sense the energy inside Hua Cheng going berserk.
    Not only that, it was as if Hua Cheng's moment of clarity had changed the flow of the other's energy as well. Xie Lian felt worry and the inclination to check, but quickly got distracted.

    Oh, how he wished he hadn't.

    Summary

    Xie Lian hadn’t given up. “It’s alright, though! We’ll just have to find something else for you to be worshipped for!”

    Mu Qing looked at Xie Lian quizzically. “Something else?”

    “Just like how Feng Xin became the God of Pleasure by a misunderstanding, you could also find a secondary domain of worship! Something that ghosts need or want...”

    “Like what?”

    Xie Lian cleared his throat lightly before he suggested, “How about becoming a God of Style?”

    After losing one too many spars, Mu Qing finds out that—due to new worshippers of Ju Yang in Ghost City—Feng Xin's divine power had become ever-so-slightly stronger than Mu Qing's. Mu Qing's solution? Build a following in Ghost City, too: bigger and better than Feng Xin's. The issue? Ghosts don't care for martial arts or war at all! Mu Qing would have to find something else to be worshipped for.

    Thus begins Mu Qing's life as Xuan Zhen: the God of Beauty.

    Feng Xin thinks he might die.
