what am I if not?……

Lihui froze as a literal king of the ghost stroke his cheeks,this situation is beyond confusing,and to top it all of he seems to be familiar with him!

"I-" just as he was about to speak again 2 blinding light flew down from the heaven

A quick flash and 2 man appeared,with uniforms and weapon at the ready

Lihui watch as the ghost King clicked his tongue in annoyance,turning toward them

Lihui feared for the worst,seeing as this two newcomers are wearing uniforms of the lower court and the ghost King leave no one alive

Lihui focused every little spiritual energy he have in a single blow,it was barely enough to get the ghost king off guard

He took this as a chance to run toward the 2 officials "please run,before he kills you"

Lihui stood in front of them,ready to stop the ghost king from following the 2 whilst they escaped

But,no one ran,no,it was the ghost king who ran toward him,worry clouds his face as he scream "get away!"

However it was too late,as a sword pierced through him,the tip of the silvery steel glinting with his blood

He drops to the ground,coughing blood

It all happened so fast he could barely see Chanjuan killing the 2 officials and the ghost king hugging his body "why?" The ghost asks

"B-because i was....a god" Lihui replied

He is in a haze,and in his haze he felt somewhat warm

Zemin ran up to him before he lost his consciousness "let go,let me look at him!" He heard Zemin yelled but someone kept hugging him,tighter and tighter

"I ca- I can't lose him again"

"Let him go Yichen !you are not losing him"

Yichen?

That name felt familiar to him,maybe he had heard it before?no what he is feeling is something way deeper than a quick chant of a name

It is like his soul is holding onto a single word,a name, Yichen...

"Have you heard of the legend?" A granny starts with her grandchild in her lap

Once upon a time in a land enveloped by snow,a land unvisited by the sun where even a fraction of fire could not exist

There lived a tyrant

A ghost King possessing the power to destroy every and all ghost and others alike

And on the day the divine heaven regarded as the one day the sun shines the brightest,what should've been bright and warm,became dark and cold,for it is also that day that the tyrant emerged victorious claiming the title Ghost king,the 5th of the heavenly calamity,the heaven shook for 6 incense time that day

"What does the ghost king look like granny?"the grandchild ask innocence burning in his eyes as it sparkled,so his grandmother says

They say he is like ice,skin so pale he looked like a dead body pulled from the depth of ocean,hair frosty white that almost came down to hide his eyes,and his eyes...one look at his eyes and you accept you fate,for his eyes screamed death,a sorrowful mourn of the dead,as if his eyes contains death itself

Oh!and people says he has holes on his face too

"Really granny? that's not true right?"

"Who knows?but it's time for you to go to bed now,or else he will come"His granny tickles his toes, giggle bursting out

"B-but granny, you've never told me his name"

No one knows his name actually,but since his story came and reached the farthest of land,he was known to be called "The Graceful white death",for the chilling breeze and the freezing cold announced his presence,

And it is said even the sun would freeze in fear of him
