Summary
“Why is gege sitting like that?” San Lang asked softly.
Xie Lian blinked his eyes open. He'd been falling asleep, his body still so tired from everything it had been through in the depths of the cave.
“Hm?” How was he sitting? Xie Lian thought about it for a moment, and then he realised. Oh.
He was sitting with his back against the maple tree, his head tilted slightly backwards and to the side to expose his neck, the insides of his wrists turned upwards, resting on his thighs.
Xie Lian had trained himself to sit like that in the presence of vampires, so there was less chance of them pulling on and twisting his numb arms or hurting his neck.
or
After an accident, banished fairy Xie Lian becomes the unwilling guest of a sect of vampires. When another powerful vampire destroys the sect and takes Xie Lian home to help him recover, Xie Lian is faced with the challenge of convincing his saviour that he really really wouldn't mind if he were to drink some of his blood.

Summary
Xie Lian's last believer is so fervently devoted to him that he seems to think mostly in the form of prayer. That is a terrifying prospect. Xie Lian has never heard of such a case before, not even in hypotheticals, and he finds himself hoping, for his believer's sake, that there is some other explanation for this phenomenon.
Whatever the reason, a low stream of his believer's thoughts hum in the back of Xie Lian's consciousness.
His believer does not seem to be aware of it.
_
When Xie Lian ascends for the third time, he is welcomed back to godhood with prayers that he hadn't expected: an ongoing stream of thought from his sole remaining believer. He gathers quickly that this believer is very old, very powerful, and very, very much in love with him.
For his believer's sake, Xie Lian can cast a spell to shut the prayers out—but only if he has access to spiritual energy.

Summary
“Oh,” he said, once his eyes focused and he realized Wuming was bent over the cooking pot in the middle of the room. His heart beat in double-time and his stomach flipped, although he couldn’t explain why. He was just suddenly deeply anxious, certain the idyllic picture before him was about to crack like a mirror.
But it didn’t. Wuming glanced towards the door and immediately lit up to see him.
“Your Highness! Welcome back.” He sounded so earnest that Xie Lian had to smile, casting aside his strange unease without another thought.
-
After months of vigilant care, Wuming has returned to Xie Lian!
So why wasn't he happy? Why now, of all times, was he falling apart?

“Did daozhang think he could come here, flash his enchanted eyes, and pull one over on the Ghost King?” Hua Cheng coos.
Xie Lian’s teeth begin to chatter. “My enchanted…my…aha—”
“I have never seen a performance quite like it in all my long years. Daozhang must be very experienced in getting his way just by fluttering his long lashes. But is he truly foolish enough to believe this act will work on me? Does he think I will fall for his tricks?”

Summary
After Xie Lian and Hua Cheng encounter a strange bear spirit in the Cave of Ten Thousand Gods, Hua Cheng is split into three past versions of himself: a ten-year-old Hong-er whose last memory is being tossed in a gunny sack, a thirteen-year-old Xiao-Hua who just snuck into the Xianle Army, and a Wuming who still smells of smoke from the burning of the Yong’an Royal Palace.
Trapped on Mount Tonglu with no spiritual energy, no way to call for help, and no basic necessities, Xie Lian and his three companions must keep each other alive while scouring the greater Tonglu area in search of the escaped spirit, all to bring back Xie Lian’s “husband,” a man Xie Lian won’t identify for fear of complicating an already complicated situation.
Jealous of a man they’ve never met, grappling with feelings of inadequacy, and frustrated with each other’s failings, Hong-er, Xiao-Hua, and Wuming are determined to help Xie Lian—even if a successful mission means they disappear.
**Part 2 of this series is the E-rated alternate ending.**

Summary
The light still doesn't make sense against his eyes, but he thinks he remembers something like color. There is a lot of color around him, and he is able to discern white and black and a great deal of something else. It's a breathtaking splash of vivacity on a new canvas, where there had been no canvas at all for so many eternities. It is the most beautiful thing he has ever seen.
Red, Xie Lian finally names it.

In a disorienting turn of luck, Xie Lian is rescued from State Preceptor Fangxin's coffin. He recovers his other senses in good time, but his sight is taking longer to return—decades with no exposure to light have weakened his capacity for it.
His benefactor and worshiper, a wealthy and eccentric ghost named Hua Cheng, hasn't left his side for months.
