“The one standing in infinite glory is you; the one fallen from grace is also you. What matters is ¡®you¡¯ and not the state of you.”

“Hua Cheng said quietly, "Your Highness, I understand your everything.

"Your courage, your despair; your kindness, your pain; your resentment, your hate; your intelligence, your foolishness.

"If I could, I would have you use me as your stepping stone, the bridge you take apart after crossing, the corpse bones you need to trample to climb up, the sinner who deserved the butchering of a million knives. But, I know you wouldn't allow it."

(...)

However, Hua Cheng only replied, "To die in battle for you is my greatest honour."

Those words were like a fatal blow. The tears in Xie Lian's eyes could no longer be restrained, and they came pouring out.

Like he was hanging on the thread of his life, he pleaded, "You said you would never leave me."

However, Hua Cheng replied, "There is no banquet in this world that doesn't come to an end."

Xie Lian bowed his head and buried it deep into his chest, his heart and throat in constricted agony, unable to speak.

Yet soon after, he heard Hua Cheng say above him, "But, I will never leave you."

Hearing this, Xie Lian's head shot up.

Hua Cheng said to him, "I will come back. Your Highness, believe me.”

“Last time, they spent eight hundred years running towards each other. This time, it only took an instant to fall into each other's embrace.”
― Mo Xiang Tong Xiu

“Hua Cheng quietly sighed, extended his arms, and once again folded him into his embrace. "Your Highness, I've always watched you."

This was the second time he had said this, but his voice was softer than before. Xie Lian clutched the red robes at his chest, asking, his mind blank, "I know, I know. But... what should I do now?"

Hua Cheng's long and slender fingers gently combed through Xie Lian's mussed hair. "Then, Your Highness, do you know why I refuse to leave this world?"

Xie Lian couldn't understand why Hua Cheng could still be so calm at a time like this, he was panicking so hard he was trembling. But, while feeling lost, he still simple-mindedly asked, "Why?"

Hua Cheng replied quietly, "Because I have a beloved who is still in this world."

Hearing this, Xie Lian was slightly stunned. He seemed to have heard this somewhere before.

Hua Cheng continued, "My beloved is a brave, noble, and gracious special someone. He's saved my life; I've looked up to him ever since I was young. But, I wanted to catch up to him more, and become and even stronger person for him. Although he might not remember me well. We never really talked. I want to protect him."

He gazed at Xie Lian. "If your dream is to save the common people, then my dream is only you."

"..." Relying on his memory, Xie Lian asked with a trembling voice, "But... you won't... be able to rest in peace... like this...?"

Hua Cheng answered, "I pray to never rest in peace.”

“Hua Cheng answered leisurely, ¡°To me, it¡¯s the safest place in the world.¡±

¡°You¡¯re absolutely sure?¡±

Hua Cheng smiled cheerfully. ¡°If its hiding place is destroyed, then there¡¯s no need for me to exist either. Of course I¡¯m sure.”

“Hua Cheng let out a small laugh and maintained that posture of one knee on the ground, and that remaining eye gazed at him deeply. "Your Highness, I've always watched you."

(...)

All of the sudden, thousands of emotions, millions of words swarmed into his head. There was gratefulness, there was shame, there was heartache, there was wild joy, but above all else, there was incurable love.”

“Xie Lian whipped his head over, and a biting chill flashed before his face. He straightened and stated solemnly:

¡°You ask who I am? LISTEN WELL! ¡ª¡ªI, AM THE EMINENT HIGHNESS THE CROWN PRINCE! You riotous radicals, BOW DOWN BEFORE ME!¡±

His voice boomed like thunder in clear skies. There were actually a few who almost dropped to their knees, and didn¡¯t snap out of it until their companions pulled them up.

¡°What are you doing? Are you actually kneeling?¡±

¡°Th-that¡¯s weird, I did it before I realized it¡­¡±

Xie Lian proclaimed sharply:

¡°I, AM OVER EIGHT HUNDRED. OLDER THAN ALL OF YOU COMBINED. I¡¯VE CROSSED MORE BRIDGES THAN ALL THE ROADS YOU¡¯VE WALKED.

¡°I, POSSESS SHRINES AND TEMPLES ACROSS THIS LAND; MY DEVOTEES AND WORSHIPPERS ARE SPREAD TO ALL FOUR SEAS. IF YOU DON¡¯T KNOW MY NAME, IT¡¯S BECAUSE YOU ARE IGNORANT AND UNLEARNED OF THE WORLD!

¡°I, DO NOT WORSHIP GODS.

¡°I, AM GOD!¡±

When the mob heard this speech, that was so shameless yet spoken with an incomparably impressive air, they were all stunned, and dropped their jaws.

¡°¡­±á±«±á???¡±

Xie Lian made up all that nonsense because he was waiting for this very moment. He flung that plate in his hand, and all those little white meatballs shot out through the air like iron pellets, scattering in all directions. Without any misses, they were hurled right into the open mouths of all those people in shock. Then he wiped away his sweat.

¡°Will everyone please forget everything I just said? I¡¯m actually only just a scrap collector!”

“Relationship should depend on chances and whether we are on the same wavelength, not on identity. If I like you, you can be a beggar and I will still like you. If I dislike you, you can be an emperor and I will still dislike you.”

“I've borrowed so much spiritual power from you that I haven't returned yet. And, I'm actually not done saying all that I wanted to say earlier, there's still so much. It's been so long since anyone listened to me talk, won't you stay?”
― M¨° Xi¨¡ng T¨®ngxi¨´, Ìì¹Ù´Í¸£ [Ti¨¡n Gu¨¡n C¨¬ F¨²]

“Those who have known each other for decades can become strangers in a day. We've met by chance, and we may part by chance. If we like each other then we shall continue to meet; if we don't, then we shall part. At the end of the day, there's no banquet in the world that doesn't come to an end, so let's go all more with the flow, and I'll say what I want to say.”

“Xie Lian dared say that even the most renowned of sculptors of Xianle back then would not be able to carve to this level of excellence. It was as if the sculptor¡¯s mind was completely filled with this person, and his eyes only saw this person.”

“Body in the abyss, heart in paradise.¡±

[...] If the crown prince were to see the remnants of those words, he would probably be the first one to rush to destroy what was left.

The person who had said those words had personally proven that when the body is in the abyss, the heart could not be in paradise.

He ascended to the heavens quickly, but his fall from grace was even faster.”

“Upon his face, two lines of tears were already streaming down from his eyes.

“Speaking of which, I also met a teenager that could command silver butterflies around on Mount Yu Jun. Does anyone know who that was?¡±

The lively, bustling chaotic spirit communication array suddenly fell silent the moment those words were out.

This kind of reaction, Xie Lian had seen it coming and so he just waited patiently. After a while, Ling Wen finally asked, ¡°Your Highness Crown Prince, what did you just say?¡±

Mu Qing coldly answered for him, ¡°He just said, he met Hua Cheng.¡±

Finally obtaining the name of that red-clothed young man, Xie Lian was ineffably in a good mood. He smiled and said, ¡°So his name is Hua Cheng? Hm, this name suits him quite well.”
