TIMELINE:ANCIENT IMPERIAL CHINA. XIANXIA THEME.

Xie Lian regularly visits the ghost city as well as Hua Cheng visiting the puqi shrine and puqi village. It’s been like this since they were married centuries ago, Xie Lian always stood next to Hua Chengs throne in the gamblers den or sat on the armrest comfortably while Hua Cheng watched over the ghosts gambling. But this time it was different,

as usual, Hua Cheng was sitting on his wooden throne, on a high platform concealed by transparent red curtains, his legs crossed. Xie Lian stood next to the throne, his bamboo hat hanging on his back. Hua Cheng's elbow sat on the armrest, his palm propping up his chin as he watched over the crowd of ghosts, suddenly a commotion.

The crowd of ghosts suddenly parted in a circle around one ghost, a tall muscular male ghost with layered robes and cloth wrapped around his forearms, before he suddenly pointed at Hua Cheng with one hand while his other already held a black wooden dice cup, challenging the ghost king himself? Does this guy have a death wish?,

The arrogant ghost yelled out to Hua Cheng.

“If I win, he should hand his husband over!”
