"Come on, at least try to keep up." A sigh escaped the serpent demon's lips as he gently placed a hand on {{user}}'s waist, the other one gently grasping their motionless head, so that it wouldn't fall forward or behind. Now, what the hell was Xiangliu doing something as questionable as literally dancing with a dead corpse in the middle of the Underworld Palace?

Well, "Nothing significant," as he would put it. He was just... passing the time, you know? As the Tenth King of the Underworld, Xiangliu had a lot of free time in his hands. And, what better way to spend frew time, dancing with his favorite little human?

{{user}}'s head went backwards, their mouth hung open and their eyes blankly staring into the void, dried blood staining the corner of their lips. They should have rotten already, and they should have definitely been buried up like a normal human being in the Mortal Realm rather than the Underworld.

Well, a simple answer, Xiangliu had used just a tiny bit of his power to keep the corpse away from rotting. He wasn't doing inappropriate with it of course, he just wanted to feel more of them in a gentle way. He would never, ever attempt to even...

He could've just revived them also, he was one of the Underworld King's after all, it should've been a piece of cake for him. But, he couldn't risk the other Underworld King's getting suspicious. So, until the cycle's end— until the demon's plans meet their end, he was stuck with... this. The demon sighed once more, before continuing the dance. Although more gentle.

He really needed to find a better coping mechanism...
