Those two corpses were both far older than our arrival here, so that is a non-starter.
[ boy please
the laughter does not help this situation any, though xie lian's questions aren't especially heated. ]
Perhaps if you would simply answer questions when asked, then you would not look nearly so suspicious! You've told me straight to my face, that you are a terrifyingly powerful ghost king, and if you aren't lying, as I expect that you are, then why shouldn't I have my suspicions when it is the innocent soul sharing a room with you that's disappeared? Why shouldn't I be worried, when you've before called upon goons to harm a child? Why wouldn't a 'ghost king' call upon spectres to harm someone else, just for the sake of harming them, if you are so similar to the Bai Wuxiang?
[he barks out another laugh, his expression contorting into something ugly. well, uglier than usual.]
Oh, enough with that shit, which is it?! You expect I'm lying about being "terrifyingly powerful"? Then why are you asking me about all of this now, if you think that's a lie? Hmm? Because eight hundred years ago, I punished someone for the insolence of staining your honor? That was then, this is now! I wouldn't fucking do that to someone again for your sake!
I did answer your questions, you stupid dogfucker. There was no one in my room when I went to sleep. Now, if you'll call your beast off and get the fuck out of my way, I've got some actual kids to check on. Or would you rather waste your time lecturing me when we don't even know what's become of them? Ah, but that's okay, isn't it? The only one here to see you acting ugly is me.
his daemon, however, snarls and snaps at qi rong's heels from behind him without touching - though the noise and gesture is likely terrifying enough. ]
[qi rong jumps and lets out a pitched shriek not unlike the type xie lian will, right hundred years from now, come to associate with when he encounters hua cheng]
What the FUCK! Control your beast, you black-hearted white lotus, are you trying to fucking kill me?!
He is not. [ looks into the camera like this is the office
san lang just follows at a very leisurely pace, sedate and easy. he does not attack the cane toad! he just wants the cane toad to remember that he is right there. watching. (: ]

Move. I'll be coming with you.
