Chapter 2: Games
Summary: “Nobody really knows who this person could be, or why Lord Crimson Rain is looking for them,” Yu Liling continued, coming close to the pavilion with Xie Lian and Hua Cheng in tow. “There’s lots of speculation, but my ancestor who travelled to Ghost City heard there from a good source that they’re a ‘noble immortal Taoist.’”
As people said: no winds, no waves. The only rumours that passed the test of time were those that hid a little bit of truth within. Hua Cheng felt Xie Lian’s eyes on him, but he kept his face schooled and his eyes on the cloth fox.
Tumblr media
It took over ten days for Xie Lian and Hua Cheng to walk from the inn where they met with the emperor to the entrance of Mount Tonglu. What happened during that journey? And most importantly, what would've happened if things had gone differently during that journey?
Expect folk stories told by Hua Cheng worshippers, Xie Lian figuring out stuff he could've realised one hundred chapters ago, and a Ghost King simultaneously hating on his child-like appearance and getting the best out of it.
Canon divergence from chapter 143. Contains many spoilers from the book!
Read on Ao3.

Chapter 1: Fever
Summary: In the past few days, by his own initiative, Xie Lian had hugged and carried Hua Cheng more times than he could count. He'd held his hand for hours at a time, he kept squeezing his cheeks and nuzzling his hair. He shared blankets with him every night and made his hair every morning. His attention brought Hua Cheng a level of comfort and reassurance he hadn’t even imagined before. Even the smallest gesture of tenderness coming from Xie Lian could push all the rage of the volcano to the far corners of Hua Cheng’s mind and make him forget that it was there.
Perhaps that had been the problem. Perhaps Hua Cheng had got too comfortable basking in Xie Lian’s attention, shamelessly taking advantage of his good heart until, due to his carelessness, a wave of the mountain’s evil influence impacted his brain directly, taking him out of commission like a stupid novice.

Hi! I wanted to know if the lyrics for all the songs in withering lotus and rotting waters were written by you? And if you would let me use them someday if they are yours. Not for another written work or anything like that but to use them for a song?
Hello! Yes, all the lyrics are written by me, except for the verse of Queen's "My Fairy King" in Withering Lotus, chapter 7, and the "Song of Yue Boatman" in Rotting Waters, chapter 4.
And yes, you can musicalize them as not-for-profit/non-commercial projects! Preferably as metal songs, but if that's not your genre, it's fine too. If you do it, please send me a link, I'd love listening to them 🤩

It was due time I tried my hand at drawing the one, the legend, princess of my heart: Zelda. Now, if you're curious about what's going on in the picture, as in what's the lore/situation, I can only say I'm taking the Nintendo approach: no plot, just vibes~

Hualian Mix'n'Match, day 8 Ghost minion Hua Cheng and ghost minion Xie Lian
Prompt: Free - A simple thing
"Why do we have to assume such a bizarre appearance?" Xie Lian asked, and Hua Cheng's incense stick long answer, painting a detailed portrait of the Green Ghost's peculiar "feats" and "deeds", made him laugh to the point of crying.

Prompt: You'll always be the only one I like the very best
After Hua Cheng mentioned that bride kidnapping was traditional among his mother's people, Xie Lian made a little bet. One memory-eating monster and a wedding dress later, their vows are happily renewed.

Hualian Mix'n'Match, day 6 Fisherman Hua Cheng and Ferret Xie Lian
Prompt: Food as an expression of love
Nothing like tricks to defeat a tricky yao —and Xie Lian was looking for an excuse to try his husband's shape-shifting magic, anyway. A ferret is a strange choice for the mission, but Hua Cheng doesn't mind. Giving him treats this way is adorable!

Hualian Mix'n'Match, day 5 Fox Hua Cheng Wu Ming and Calamity Xie Lian
Prompt: Mystery
Xie Lian arrived to the ruined battlefield in search of resentful souls and found nothing but a single fox spirit that had already devoured them all. The jiuweihu wore a mask that Xie Lian understood it as a sign of subservience.
What a pity, but it'd do.
Event page || Organisers
This piece was vaguely inspired by the first arc of the c-novel Bai Yao Pu. A soldier boy saves an ash fox from death, and they become friends. Years later, the fox sacrifices his tail to save the now grown general from execution, and eats the spirits of all his victims to spare him from karma.
Bai Yao Pu has a donghua and a manhua.

Hualian Mix'n'Match, day 4 Ghost fire Hua Cheng and God of Flowers Xie Lian (butterfly dream)
Prompt: Fire and rain
Children scared of a ghost fire in their flower fields prayed to Xie Lian, the god of flowers, so he could get rid of it. He answered with no intention to damage the little spirit, wishing to talk with it instead. The rain surprised the god and ghost while they talked, and the former was quick to shelter the latter, who shone brightly to compensate for its lack of warm.

Prompt: Sword
After initiating his training, Taizi Dianxia isn't easily persuaded to leave Mt. Taicang. However, the leader of the Crimson Rain sect is visiting the imperial court, and there's no way the prince would miss the chance to see his legendary sabre!

Hualian Mix'n'Match, day 1 Hong'er and Child Prince Xie Lian Prompt: Red
While chasing butterflies in the palace's gardens, the young crown prince caught a glimpse of red beneath the foliage. He went to have a closer look, and found the crimson eye of a baby looking back at him.
How great! He always wanted to be a gege.

Happy Chinese New Year, the year of the dragon!
This is the mighty ghost dragon Hua Cheng, whose rain is made of blood. He turned into a dragon after accidentally swallowing the red coral pearl he stole from the prince. Since then, he's been seeking the lost god to give him his pearl and blessing back.
