    Summary

    Nearly a year after Hua Cheng's return, Xie Lian lives a quiet, contented life at Puqi Shrine. Then a golden light cleaves the stillness when a Heavenly Scroll arrives:

    By the will of the Heavenly Court, the Prince of Xianle is summoned to audience within one hour to advise upon matters of celestial security. Attendance is required.
    —Acting Commander of the Celestial Realm, etc., Feng Xin

    “Looks like they couldn’t do without you for long,” Hua Cheng said lightly. But there was no teasing in it.

    “I suppose I knew it would come,” Xie Lian said. “Eventually.”

    (In which Xie Lian is pulled back to Heaven, and he learns the limits of mercy—and what love looks like when it’s powerful enough to terrify the heavens.)

    Maybe this would have happened, if Hua Cheng had not immediately played off the proposal as a joke.

    Summary

    Xie Lian comes across and helps out three exhuberant children who just happen to be believers of a ghost!

    They take him back to their village and show him the shrine, thinking that it was the Red Ghost who'd sent him to help in the time of their need.

    So what happens when Xie Lian is convinced to send a prayer to this unique idol?

    Summary

    “If the body can’t warm up, then things get uh, b-bad?”

     

    Mobei-jun cuts him a look that’s made for slaughter. “What does that mean?”

     

    “A-ah, it’s called hypothermia, my king.”

     

    “And you die once it happens.”

     

    Again, not a question. “You can.” When Mobei-jun makes an absolutely terrifying face, Shang Qinghua hastens to add, “But not instantly! Y-you can actually recover from it, if the hypothermia doesn’t progress too far.”

     

    “How far?” Mobei-jun growls.

     

    “There are f-f-f-five stages,” Shang Qinghua shivers out, lips numb. “The fifth stage is death.”

     

    -

    Shang Qinghua and Mobei-jun have their spiritual powers sealed before getting dumped in a white-out snowstorm. Mobei-jun quickly learns that humans are far more susceptible to the cold than he thought.
