5.17 TEMPESTUOUS LOVE: Red Moon

Dong Hengmu finds himself in a precarious situation but he is no fool and does not dare to anger Hongyue Wanai without careful precaution. 

"I was not expecting you," Dong Hengmu says with a subtle bow in greeting. He sits down next to the man known as the Demon King but keeps a decent distance between them.

The sky is dark and the wind biting. Stars twinkle behind willowing wisps of dark clouds and Dong Hengmu would much rather be alone. But the truth is, despite how much apprehension he feels from Hongyue Wanai, he still owes the man his life. Several years ago, it was Hongyue Wanai, or Yinan as he used to be known, that saved Hengmu from his previous troubles. 

"I see that you've gotten close to A-Yu," Hongyue Wanai says as he pours Dong Hengmu a bowl. A sweet aroma arises from the clear liquid, surely a pleasant treat if only Hengmu had better company.
