Into the Crimson rain

At this moment, the teenager’s pace suddenly paused. Xie Lian’s heart moved, thinking it was because the other boy was about to do something. However, that teenager only stopped for a second before he continued to lead him forward. After two steps, some soft thudding noises echoed from above their heads, like the sound of rain hitting an umbrella. It turned out that a moment ago, the teenager had opened an umbrella before holding it above both of their heads.

 

Although it wasn’t the time to think this, Xie Lian couldn’t help but praise the teenager for being so thoughtful. However, he felt this was rather odd. Was it raining?

 

Within the quiet and dark mountains, within the forest filled with thick weeds—in the distant depths of the mountain range, a group of wild wolves faced the moon and howled. Xie Lian didn’t know if it was because a slaughtering fest had just occurred, but within the cold air, the light scent of blood slowly emerged.

 

This situation and this scenery were both demonically alluring. However, this teenager held his hand with one hand and held up an umbrella with the other as he slowly led him forward. For no reason at all, this made their stroll seem romantic and flirtatious, like they were sincerely in love and inseparable.

 

That bizarre bout of rain came in a strange manner and left in a strange manner as well. It didn’t take a long while before the sound of raindrops hitting the umbrella disappeared. And that teenager also came to a halt. It seemed like he had put away his umbrella. Simultaneously, he finally let go off Xie Lian’s hand before walking a step closer to him.

 

The hand that had held his and led him all the way here lightly touched his veil before slowly lifting it up.

 

Xie Lian had been waiting for this moment for their whole walk here. He didn’t move at all as he watched the lingering red curtain in front of his eyes slowly disappear

This is a touching story about deep love and connections through all lifetimes and circumstances.

 

Hua Cheng (Crimson Rain Sought Flower, San Lang), a Ghost King known as the Terror of the Heavens. One of the Four Calamities.

 

 

He is charismatic and intelligent, with a nonchalant attitude. He is very gentle to Xie Lian, treating him with much care and respect and offering him anything he desires out of deep love for him that waited for more than 800 years to meet again.

 

"- Many years ago someone told me that he could not live anymore. He asked me what the purpose of living was and what it meant. Do you want to know my answer?

What was your answer?

I said... If you don't know what to live for, then just live for me.

 

Just

Live

For Me."
