Right hand man

"Chanjuan!what are you doing??"

Lihui probably shouldn't and it goes against everything he is or was but Lihui truly liked Chanjuan,he finds comfort in his darkness which is new to him among the lights of fake purity of the heaven,it soothes his souls

But now, Chanjuan is exactly what people said about him,an absolute monster,cruel and unforgiving bloodlust oozing off of him, it envelopes the whole area like a heavy and condensed cloud

When he heard Lihui's voice he drops the person harshly and quickly turning his head around to take a good look at Lihui,face unchanging

"Run" Lihui calls out to the person beside Chanjuan who was shaking uncontrollably but still did as was told

Chanjuan walks toward him, Lihui felt his heart clenched at the sight, he's not an idiot ,he knows when to be scared too

"Chanjuan it's me,please don't make me fight you" Lihui has been cultivating spiritual energy since a month ago when he first got descended so he's currently got enough to maybe even last a while with Chanjuan but that won't be enough unfortunately as he is in fact being restrained with cursed shackles so he could only do so much,but he would still save a single person so he decided that it's worth it

He raises his hand in a stance,ready to fight Chanjuan "please" he whispered

When Chanjuan reached him he raises his hands too, Lihui focus every spiritual energies he has on one of his hand,he hates violence but self-defence is a whole other matter,he breathes in,closing his eyes ready to struck

But his aim went completely off due to shock,arms wrapped around him in great caring and desperation

The force of his spiritual energy emitted from his hand took down 2 or 3 trees in front of them but that doesn't matter

Chanjuan doesn't let him go even after Lihui heartbeat slows down,he breathes,in and then out

"C-Chanjuan?" Lihui quipped

And it was then,that a ghost who despises the heaven with everything in him,huffs out in complete sincerity

"Thank god i found you"

It was after a minute passed that Chanjuan let go of Lihui and it was only then that Lihui take a look at him clearly

Chanjuan was,to say the least,a mess

His eyes were dark and tired,circles formed under his eyes and his lips were chapped,he appeared to be even thinner than before

"What happened?how did you find me?"Lihui asks and among the darkness came a new voice,a voice he thought he would never hear again,a voice that brought endless peace to him

"I swear i hate ghosts" it was Bojing,talking to himself,it seems he was chasing after Chanjuan

He appeared from the dark,he too freeze "Lihui" he whispered,a crack in his voice

Bojing ran to him,enveloping him into a hug too,tightly and reassuringly,more to himself "i'm sorry I'm sorry " he cried, Lihui knows what he was apologising about but he truly believes Bojing had nothing to apologise about

"I missed you too" Lihui smiled,rubbing tears from Bojing's cheeks " I'm sorry" Bojing still cried

Poor boy must've beaten himself up all this time because of the whole situation,blaming himself,blaming his powers

Through his cries Lihui noticed a thing,a big bruise on Bojing's eye "what happened to you!?"

Bojing seemed to be surprised but quickly got what Lihui is asking about "he punched me" He points at Chanjuan

Lihui abruptly turns around Chanjuan "why?" He asks

Chanjuan looks away,his pout makes him look like a kid who's being scolded, Lihui finds it cute but now is not the time

"Chanjuan,I don't know the reason but violence is not the answer to everything,okay?" Lihui tries to reason with him,with Bojing crying uncontrollably beside him and Chanjuan refusing to acknowledge him, Lihui felt like a mom, Chanjuan's pout still protruding

He sighs,deciding to drop it and lead them toward the place he is currently staying in

When the 2 of them settled in, Lihui started asking them questions

"How did you find me?and how did you two even meet?"

"A friend told me that he help a descended god" Chanjuan says, Lihui figured he must be talking about the weird man to saved him "you know him?"

"Not really" was all Chanjuan was willing to say about it

"And how about you?how come you are with Chanjuan?"Lihui turns to Bojing

Bojing told him that he remembered Lihui talking about a certain ghost named Chanjuan and went to search for him after what happened,and when he found him he told Chanjuan of everything and out of anger Chanjuan punched him,hard

"I mean i kinda deserved it anyway i should've protected you" Bojing keep his head down,he's seriously hurt

"What do you mean?you tried and that's more than enough,look at me I'm fine right?don't worry" Lihui assures, Bojing smiled a bit,only a bit

"If you've met Zemin does that mean you've met him too?"Chanjuan suddenly ask,his eyes darkening once more

"Who's him?" Lihui stands,his heartbeat slowly fastening

"The ghost king known as Graceful white death"

"Why would i meet him?"

"Because Zemin is kinda like his right-hand man"
