Jingyi and Rusong: *walking down the hall with A-Yao*

Yao: firstly we'll go meet A-niang, and then we'll head to my secret room.

Jingyi: whaaatttt??? You have a secret room?!! So hanguang Jun was right! Well he always is.

Yao: yes I do have a secret room.

But now it's situated in Jing Manor. Well in my bedroom.

It's only accessed by a mirror.

Jingyi: that's so cool. Rusong, did you go there?!

Rusong: yup. Only very few people can go into A-Die's secret room. Team d, Xichen, Nainai and myself.

If someone out of that circle wishes to enter, they have to ask A-Die for permission, and go under his supervision.

Jingyi: what's so secretive about the place.

Yao: hence the name, secret room.

It has manuscripts, books, various weapons and torture devices that I collected from the Wens and the sunshot campaign. Some fox spirit stuff as well. My secret room is kind of the treasury of the empire.

Jingyi: wow.

Yao: my collections would always help the defense force in some way.

Jingyi: isn't your secret room in jinlintai?

Yao: it's here now.

Thanks to Minshan, he moved all my relics here, with the help of his teleportation talismans.

He brought my mirrors and everything.

Jingyi: didn't know that loser could do anything, than copy Hanguang Jun. I can't believe I have to see that book stealer.

Yao: *a little furious*

Rusong: Jingyi.

Yao: as er Dianxia, you should have respect for my team. They're my elite.

Insulting them is like insulting Huangdi.

Jingyi: mn. Ok Huangdi Diedie.

Yao: right.

*smile*

Jingyi: i like xue yang out of the three by the way.

Yao: suit yourself.

But team dimple is one. They move and function as one.

Jingyi: ohh. Diedie, what will we do afterwards?

Yao: we'll party.

Jingyi: are you serious!!

Yao: well yea! You're my son now, so obviously I'll throw a party.

The empire must recognize you as the second Wangzi.

Jingyi: gonna be lit!!!

Yao: however, Yi'er, there are some things you got to learn. It's just minor things. Song'er will teach you.

Rusong: *smile*

Jingyi: ok. I'm up for it. And Rusong isn't old and boring like Lan qiren.

Yao: *laughing* right!

Rusong: yes A-Yi, I won't put you to sleep, lol.

Rusong: first lesson.

Let me tell you how to greet taihou, our Nainai.

Eternal flower Pavillion 📍. (Meng Shi's residence)

Yao: A-niang.

Meng Shi: hi Yao'er, works done? *strokes head*

Yao: yes.

Rusong: Nainai. *kisses her hand respectfully*

Yao: I have adopted someone, A-niang. Introducing my second son, Lan Jingyi.

Jingyi: *bows* greetings taihou. *kisses her hand like Rusong*

Meng shi: awww! What a darling. Lan too?

Jingyi: yes.

Meng Shi: cute cute. Just call me Nainai, dear.

Stressed about the lan sect?

Jingyi: very stressed! I hate the long boring classes. And I decided on having a better life with Rusong and Huangdi diedie.

Meng Shi: oh my.

Jingyi: but I would miss pranking that old goat.

Meng Shi: *cracking up* old goat! Loooll!! You seem like a handful, Yi'er. You and Song'er are planning on wreaking havoc in Jing Manor?

*pinches their cheeks* then you're going to spend all your Diedie's money.

Rusong: that's my job, Nainai.

Jingyi: and it's mine too!

Meng Shi: ahhhh, what a pair! A-Yao, you have beautiful children indeed, and a beautiful family.

Yao: I agree, thank you.

A-niang, we're having a party later.

Meng Shi: splendid! Your hulijing citizens would love to see your fabulous fam! *fixing A-Yao's hat and hair* cutie pie.

Yao: *smiling*

Meng Shi: A-yi, if you're clueless about being a Wangzi, look at A-Song. He's a natural.

Jingyi: ok Nainai. I'll master it!! But I'll still talk shit.

Meng Shi: *laughing* so be it.

Yao: just be you.

Jingyi: of course! And I know you guys have a reputations, so I'll try to be on my best behavior.

Meng Shi: marvelous. And Song'er is here with you.He has adapted A-Yao's elegance, politeness and sophistication, and he's now moulded into a well respected Wangzi.

Rusong: *wraps his arm around his neck in a friendly way* yea dude. We'll have fun.

Meng Shi: so you're maybe very fond of Zewu Jun. He's Lan gui fei here, as he's married to A-Yao.

Jingyi: ahahahaha! Lan gui fei! Yes! But I like his brother, Lan Wangji!

Meng shi: oh. The guy who attacked my son.

*sarcasm* Lovely.

Jingyi: but he was awesome doing it! I aspire to be Hanguang Jun!!!......... I'm very sorry, Nainai.

You guys got bad blood with the lans.

Meng Shi: not quite. I like Lan gui fei and Madam Lan.

Jingyi: Madam who? Qiren had a wife????????

Rusong: no Jingyi. She's Qingheng Jun's wife. Lan wangji and Lan Xichen's mom.

Jingyi: huh. Guess I forgot. I'm mostly absent minded.

Yao: Song'er went to the cloud recesses for 5 years. But under private tuition under my Lan xichen. He used his Jin name, Jin Rusong. And he hid his hulijing identity and status.

Jingyi: riiigghhhtt!!! He used to hang with us, and Jinling would be overprotective just because he's his cousin.

Meng Shi: ohh. See, you know our Song'er.

Jingyi: yea. But I didn't know that he was a Wangzi.

Yao: lol. Well that was the plan.

To have him completely camouflaged.

~~

Afterwards, they went to A-Yao's secret room.

Jingyi: *sprinting all over the room, observing every relic* wowww!!!

Is that a hulijing weapon?! Are those razor guqin strings?! Talismans! Swords! This dagger?

Yao: I see you're very interested in my collections. And that dagger belonged to Wen Ruohan.

I have more daggars too.

Jingyi: can I touch them?

Yao: unfortunately no. They're spiritual weapons. You might get hurt.

Jingyi: do you trap fox spirits?

Yao: no. It's very inhumane.

Jingyi: *reading a manuscript* the way of a hulijing. Diedie! Can you turn me into a hulijing???

Yao: there's no need. And you're perfect just the way you are.

Jingyi: fineeee!!

Rusong, how aren't you astonished?

Rusong: I know everything here. Also I once fell asleep on A-Die's sofa.

Jingyi: cool!

What are those things on your desk?

Yao: maps of the empire, strategies and other things. Huangdi stuff.

*sits*

Have a seat guys.

Yao: other than defense strategies. I have some imperial stuff too. *takes a box from off the shelf and rests it on his desk.

Jingyi: what's that?

Yao: *opens* your guan.

Jingyi: is that gold and Jade?

Yao: mhm.

Wear this with your new outfit at the party.

Jingyi: oh heck yea! I'll be all dripped out!

But what do you mean new outfit? Do I have to go buy? Diedie I don't have money.

Rusong: *laughing slighly*

Yao: A-Yi, why are you so worried. Most of our clothes are custom made, and sometimes bought for us.

Jingyi: ohhh.

Yao: *opens another box* here's your ceal. It's for your protection, as it will prevent your energy from being sucked out.

Hulijings will identify you as their second Wangzi.

Also, it may grant you some abilities.

Jingyi: like?!

Yao: summoning hulijings.

Song'er has the same ceal, but since he's already a hulijing, he would give it to others he wishes to protect.

Rusong: yep.

Yao: everyone has a ceal.

Jingyi: interesting.

Yao: but don't misuse your power, Yi'er.

Jingyi: mn. I won't.

Yao: I believe that you would be responsible.

Now I must plan the party for tomorrow.

Jingyi: Diedie, will there be a chocolate fountain?

Yao: do you want one?

Jingyi and Rusong: YES!!!

Yao: well there will be a chocolate fountain.

Rusong: you're the best.

Jingyi: super awesome!

Yao: *smiles*

Both: *kisses him respectfully on his dimples*

Yao: you two will look really gorgeous in your new outfits.

Well the Mengs are known for being beautiful.

Jingyi: you got that right.

Rusong: well. Shall we go practice some things?

Jingyi: yea! I want to see how to be a Wangzi.

Let's go Rusong.

Rusong: mn. See you soon, A-Die. *smile*

Yao: yes. See you soon, Song'er.

Love you both.

~~~

Jingyi: ok Rusong, what's the first lesson!

Rusong: accessories.

Here's a fan.

Jingyi: uhh *awkwardly holding it* isn't this for women?

Rusong: no. It's for the gents too. I use it, A-Die uses it. And even Huaisang.

Jingyi: do I have to.

Rusong: yea, to convey elegance. And subliminal messages.

Jingyi: like?

Rusong: A-Die has fans that convey messages. Like for example, some of his fans have "peace*, "fruitfulness" and "splendor" written on them,

I also do the same.

Jingyi: that's awesome! Can I write F off on my fan?

Rusong: *laughing* no!

Jingyi: I find that would be hilarious.

Rusong: it kinda would be. But it's not the time.

Jingyi: got it!

Rusong: now lemme give you some more info.

Jingyi: all ears.

[dimpledlianfang]

The Secret of Team Dimple.

Team dimple was busy ramping with each other again.

Xue yang: *biting Yao again* Jiggy, you taste like mangoes.

Yao: *slighly laughing*

Oh you. *playfully hits him on the head with a fan*

Mo xuanyu: *pulling xue yangs ponytail* leave Yao gege alone! You're hurting him!

Xue yang: don't be silly. He's immune to pain. Jiggy gimme your flesh!

Su she: *blocks him*

Xue yang: *grabs Yao's arm and runs away with him*

*flies off*

Yao: Chengmei!!! If you drop me!!

Mo xuanyu: xue gege aren't you not afraid that Yao gege might send his army of foxes and fox spirits to fight you.

Xue yang: what will they do?! Hit me with their floof.

Su she: *flies and grabs Yao*

When he grabbed him, both fell on each other, on top of a couch.

Su she: are you alright, lianfang zun?

Xue yang: Su she, you simp!!

Yao: *caresses face* how sweet. Of course I am, darling..

Mo xuanyu: *gets in a fight with xue yang* I'll buy you mangoes if you leave Yao gege alone!

Xue yang: I don't want any of your mangoes!

Yao: is A-Yao squishing you? Should I get up?

Su she: (thoughts) so adorable.

No Zongzhu. You're very light and tiny.

And so cute.

Yao: heehee. And mischievous too.

Su she: and what?

Yao: *bites and rips part of Su she's robe*

Su she: *blush* (thoughts~ I can't handle this level of hot. What if I get a nosebleed)

Yao: *smiles.*

*cutely flicking his tail*

Su she: Bixia.

Yao; *sits up and opens fan*

Su she: I'm all yours.

And your floof is so soft.

Yao: do you wish to groom it later?

Su she: I would be honoured.

Yao: how excellent.

Yao: Anyways, I'm sorry for ripping your robes. I just wanted to chew on cloth.

Su she: I'm all yours, master. You can do that any time.

Xue yang: *sitting on mxy's back* what? You want to chew on Lan lips?

Mo xuanyu: can you get up!!

Yao: I didn't mention Lan lips, Chengmei.

Xue yang: but you always talk about Lan lips.

Yao: lol. *laughing* oh muffin, stop teasing me.

*stood up*

Now I have to set up these guqin strings around here.

Xue yang: why?

Yao: Nie huaisang has just left Qinghe. He's on his way.

Mo xuanyu: how do you know, Yao gege?

Yao: *setting up his guqin strings* I can smell him miles away.

Xue yang: why don't you set them up outside instead?

Yao: I want to lure him into my trap.

Su she: how smart.

Xue yang: ahhh, got you. I love a foxy trap.

Yao: now tell me. Should I heat up the

strings a bit? *eyes turn gold*

The strings then immediately started letting out smoke.

Su she: how did you learn that technique from?

Yao: learnt from the Wens.

They love heat and fire, so took the pleasure in observing.

Mo xuanyu: Yao gege is so cool.

Su she: so stunning too.

Xue yang: I wonder if Lan lips can keep up.

Mo xuanyu: lol.

Xue yang: legend says that only a harem can handle jiggy. Cuz one single one are unable to.

Yao: where are you getting these things from!

Xue yang: made it up.

Yao: your mischief never ends, doesn't it.

Xue yang: never, Jiggycakes.

Yao: *sighs in amusement*

~~ Hours after~~

Su she: *grooming Yao's tail*

Yao: *crosses legs while drinking tea*

Su she: are you being gentle to master?

Yao: mn. You are.

Xue yang: don't you think we should hide our identity from that nie twink.

Yao: why would we hide from huaisang?

Xuanyu, remind him.

Mo xuanyu: yes Yao gege. Team dimple doesn't hide from anyone.

Xue yang: I remember that! But what if he runs his mouth.

Su she: we're ok with insults, but what if he and the cultivation world call you a freak.

Trio: *bickering*

Xy: let his fox army eat them all! Or I can cut off their tongues! While they're being mauled by the huli jings of course!

Sms: i think we should run away with lianfang zun. And keep him safe!

Mo xuanyu: I'll seek revenge for Yao gege!

Yao: guys.

Don't underestimate me.

Mo xuanyu: huh?

Yao: do you think that I'll let him run his mouth? I got a plan.

Trio: *cheering* Jiggy's got a plan! Jiggy's got a plan! Jiggy's got a plan! Jiggy's got a plan!

Yao: *giggle* you three are so childish at times.

But I like it, lol.

Yao: *smiles and stretches out hand* A-Yu.

Mo xuanyu: *takes away the tea cup from his hand* got you, Yao gege.

Yao: * rests his hands on his lap, and continues to sit in a sophisticated manner*

Xue yang: have I told you lately that you're a diva. Yet it's kind of hot.

*sizzling sound*

Nie huaisang: ouuuuu!!! My fingy!!

Mo xuanyu: I smell sausage.

Su she: what are you doing here!!!!

Nie huaisang: San ge!

Yao: oh pleasant surprise. *stands, and removes the strings with a flick of his hand*

Nie huaisang: *startled*

(San ge, San ge is a huli jing?! Those two are vampires! And that guy is the one who keeps haunting me. Oh god, I'm so screwed. Why did I have to snoop around. What if I get sucked! I'm to handsome to die. Too young to die too!)

Xue yang: *grinning*

Yao: *calmly standing with his hands folded behind his back, not saying a word.*

Mo xuanyu: get him away from me. His blood is tempting.

Xue yang: I want to bite him.

Nie huaisang: noo! Stay back!! I have my fans and birds to take care of. I'm a single parent *cries*

Su she: *unsheaths Nanping*

Yao: you all. Don't scare him.

Yao: *smile* how are you huaisang?

Nie huaisang: explain this! You're a huli jing! I know something was up with you!

Yao: congratulations on your discovery, Nie Gongzi.

Nie huaisang: You seduced dage and er ge! Just so that you can eat up all their masculine yang energy!! And don't you know how much dage hates huli jings!

Yao: why? They're so fun.

Su she: *clapping* yes, Zongzhu is very fun.

Yao: *smile*

And what asumption is that? Dage loves me.

Nie Huaisang: because he doesn't know!!

Yao: he knows a little bit. But he let it slide.

Nie huaisang: and what about your dear er ge!

Yao: I will tell him soon.

Actually that's the difference. Dage found out for himself, and er ge doesn't know.

Now don't spoil things for me.

Team yao: *making their traits disappear*

Nie huaisang: you don't need to make anything disappear, San ge. You huli jing! You and your supernatural squad.

Yao: *eyes turning gold, while putting him in a trance.*

What huli jing, A-Sang?

Nie huaisang: what huli jing? I didn't say huli jing.

San ge, how did I get here?

Yao: you were looking for me, and got lost.

Nie huaisang: huh? I did?

Yao: yup.

Xue yang: you hit your head on a tree. But you're ok now.

Su she: be careful walking.

Nie huaisang: yea. San ge, I gotta go. Take care.

*exits*

Yao and his crew: *smiling*

Su she: what a skill!

Xue yang: so huli jings can make a person lose their memory huh?

Yao: mhm. We can do many other things.

Xue yang: and what's that thing about sucking up masculine yang energy?

Yao: we're able to do that on whoever we wish. But I'll never do that to er ge.

Su she: what about that dage?

Yao: I won't do it to him, but if he does something unfavorable. Then that might be my last resort.

Mo xuanyu: ohhh!!

So what now, Yao gege?

Yao: I'm going to meet er ge and tell him my secret. And maybe spend some time with him.

Mo xuanyu: do you have tooooo. *pout* but I love you.

Su she: we know your secret.

Anyways, whatever my Zongzhu wishes. I'm happy if he's happy.

Xue yang: Jiggybun, I love you. And I'll fight everyone and anyone for you

But go ahead and bite his lips!! Sizzle him with your hotness and spill the guts after.

Su she: do you mean spill the beans?

Xue yang: what beans?

Su she: *rolls eyes*

Yao: lol. Bye guys. See you soon.

*kisses them on their face one by one*

Su she: aww.

Mo xuanyu: Yao gege.

Xue yang: don't be shy. Kiss me some more.

Yao: haha. Goodbye yangyang.

Xue yang: go ahead and step on him.

~~~

Later on, Lan xichen meets Jin guangyao in Lanling.

Xichen: *lovingly* A-Yao.

Yao: *bows* er ge.

Xichen: *catches bow*

Xichen: *holds his arms lovingly: how are you?

Yao: fine. *smile*

Xichen: that's good to hear. *caresses arm*

Yao: ouch.

Xichen: A-yao! I'm so sorry! Where did you get hurt? *frantic* are you in pain?

Yao: don't worry. I think I pulled a muscle. My arm is just soar.

Xichen: hmm, from all that bowing?

Yao: *laughs* maybe.

Xichen: are you still up for our outing? You should rest.

Yao: it's fine er ge! I'm up for anything.

Xichen: once you're alright, A-Yao.

*holds hand in his* let's go on my sword.

Yao: *blushing* er ge, don't worry. I have brought hensheng.

Xichen: I know.

Yao: *blushing more*

Xichen: *admiring his dimples*

Yao: *glances at him* what happened?

Xichen: I love it when your dimples show up when you smile. Keep smiling, A-Yao.

Yao: you keep flattering me.

Xiyao then mounted Shuoyue, and Lan xichen wrapped his arms around Yao's waste.

Yao: *let's out a little laugh* er ge.

Xichen: so you won't fall. And

Yao: and?

Xichen: you would be close to my heart.

Yao: *smiling warmly*

After their romantic sword ride, Xichen took him to a private field~ shaded by trees.

Xichen: how does it look? This is one of Gusu's hidden beauties.

Yao: it's beautiful indeed.

I would definitely love to spend some alone time with you.

Xichen: yes.

*kisses Yao on the lips*

Come, let's get some shade.

Yao: mn.

Xichen: it's cooler here. Now where was I? *caressing his face*

Yao: *lovely staring at him*

Xichen: you're always so gorgeous, what's your secret?

Yao: maybe because I have a loving Lan.

Xichen: oh really. *fondling his back*

Xichen: *spreads his blue outer robes on the grass, then holds Yao's arms, supporting him lovingly* Have a seat.

Yao: aren't you afraid that your robes get dirty?

Xichen: no. It's better to get them dirty than to displease you.

Both: *sitting next to each other*

Yao: it's surprisingly sunny and warm here. I know that Gusu is famous for their cold amd snowy weather.

Xichen: yea. Because it's far from the snow mountains.

But you can still see them far away. See! *points*

Yao: lovely.

Xichen: *caresses lips* you look lovely.

You and your little dimples.

Yao: aren't you gonna kiss them?

Xichen: which? Your lips or your dimples?

Yao: both.

Xichen: *kisses deeply*

Yao: ( I wonder if he'll still love me if I tell him. I have been hiding this for so long.)

Xichen: *smile* what happened, darling?

Yao: uh...... um. Er ge. If I tell you a secret, would you get mad?

Xichen: you can tell me anything.

Yao: I'm sorry I haven't told you earlier..... but I was scared of how you would react.

It's ok if you want to break up with me afterwards.

Xichen: what?!? I would never. A-Yao don't scare me. Why would I break up with you!

Yao: ok then.....

Are you ready?

Xichen: always, my love.

Yao: *makes his fox ears and tail appear*

*lowers his gaze* er ge. I'm a huli jing.

Xichen: *astonished* A-Yao.....

Yao: *cries* I know I know. Huli jings can seduce people with their power, but I promise that never used it on you. I genuinely love you!

I have never thought of hurting you.

Yao: but the question is!

Would you still love me, er ge? I know that foxes are also unkempt. But that's not the case for me. I'm always neat. I know that you want someone who's on the same standard as you, and~~

Xichen: *kisses*

A-Yao.

*caressing his face* don't ask me if I'll still love you. Because I could never hate you.

Yao: *shedding tears of joy* er ge.

Xichen: and what if you seduce me with some spell. I would still enjoy it.

Yao: *caressing his face and smiling*

Xichen: huli jing or not. You were always unique. That's why I fell for you.

Yao: you're once again so kind.

Xichen: *lovingly holding onto Yao's arms*

Yao: one thing too er ge, is that in the huli jing realm, I'm a young fox emperor. A Huwang.

Xichen: well then! *stood up*

*then bows courteously* accept my apologies, Your highness.

Yao: ah! Er ge what are you doing?! You're older than me. *stops him* please, this isn't necessary.

Xichen: *laughs slightly*

Xichen: so my adorable bf is a fox emperor. Waw.

Yao: due to my high cultivation power , as well as my dimples.

Xichen: what? Well your dimples are seductive.

Yao: *laughs* er ge, I meant that dimples represent prosperity and beauty in the huli jing world. It's one of the keys to sovereignty.

Xichen: interesting. Do your besties know?

Yao: of course! And they have their own secrets too. Team dimple is very unique.

Xichen: and you're most unique of all...

To be continued.

Cuddling with bf Yangyang under the night sky and having deep talks or something fluffy like that 😁

And this is random but I saw someone saying Yangyang is the type of bf to call you German terms of endearments and I shat tears thinking about it like imagine him calling you 'liebling' THATS SO 😭🥺😭🥺😭🥺😭🥺🥺😭🥺😭😭🥺🥺😭

Favourite (f)

Title: Favourite Pairing: Líu Yangyang x reader Genre: fluff

Thank you for your request! As someone who learnt German from 3rd grade to 8th grade (and has forgotten almost everything and basically couldn't learn properly after 6th grade) I understood immediately what ‘liebling’ meant! For people who don't know, liebling in german means 'favourite' (in literal translation) but I think it can also be used as an endearment term like sweetheart and darling (i THINK I'm not sure tho) so yeah imagine him just calling you that JSJJSJS I WOULD MELT ON SPOT. This was also very nice to write, bcs whatever I've written here, I do most of this alone before going to bed. Nights>>> Anyways enough of my talks, I hope you like it 💚

Requests open, check out my song request event~ -----------------------------------------------------------------

The roof was probably your favourite place in the world.

It was your favourite place to cuddle up with Yangyang, with a warm blanket covering the both of you and glasses of chocolate milk in your hands. Just staying there, watching the night sky, feeling the soft cool breeze hit your faces.

“You look so sexy right now.” Yangyang said, not a hint of hesitation on his face. You gave him a weird look.

“Yang, we're literally in our pajamas right now.” You states, and Yangyang shrugged. “So? Are you not aware of how good you look no matter what you wear?” Yangyang smiled.

“Stop itt~” You whined, even though you loved it.

“I can't stopp~” Yangyang whined back, holding you even tighter than he was before shaking your shoulders with his hands. You shot a glare at him and he just smiled. “Okay okay, I'll stop. I just want you to know that you are beautiful.” He says, kissing your cheeks. You two shared a comfortable silence, and you put your head on his shoulder. “Liebling.” He suddenly says.

“What does that mean?” You asked. Yangyang shifted closer to you and booped your nose. “It mean's that you are my liebling. My favourite.” He smiles.

Another comfortable silence, this time, with you having a stupidly wide grin on your face.

“Yang, do you ever think about what we will be in the future?” You asked quietly.

"Of course I do. I think about buying a much larger house with you, and it would be right by the sea. We'll have five kids and our own family." He says, smiling like a kid as he shifted closer to you.

"Five kids?! Do you want me to be a baby machine or something?" You laughed, playfully hitting him on his arm.

"I also think of having a pet monkey, but I figured that this part would just make you mad at me."' You give Yangyang an "are-you-serious-" look as he smiled proudly. “You figured right.” You said, shooting him a glare and he just laughed.

"Ahh~ you're so cute when you're mad." Yangyang cooes at you, squishing your cheeks together.

“I wuv you~~” Yangyang sang to you as if you were a baby, laughing at your mad face. “You're annoying.” You groaned at him.

"But you still love me~" Yangyang sang again, and you finally gave in, giving him a kiss.

“Yes. Yes I do.”

[ask-beacons-finest]

Yang, standing in a hole-in-the-wall coffee shop, speaking to the barista at the counter: Yes, could I have a large black coffee, hot please? With an espresso.

Barista, with a smile: Of course! Can I get you anything else to-

Clove, rushing up to Yang, tugging on her arm: Momma! Momma! I want a muffin!

Basil, rushing up to Yang's other side: I want a bagel!

Yang, taking a deep breath as Clove and Basil continue to beg: Umm...actually, make that two espresso shots. Please and thank you.

Barista, raising an eyebrow: Are you sure ma'am? We're not a chain coffee shop, our espresso is pretty strong.

Basil, still tugging: An everything bagel! Wait! No I want a blueberry one!!! Wait! No no! I want a cinnamon one!!!!

Clove, hopping up and down with excitement: Can I get a chocolate chip muffin??? Oh! And can we bring some home for Tarra too! Please please please!

Yang, stone faced: Y'know what. Just give me a large coffee cup filled with nothing but espresso.

Barista, dumbfounded: M-ma'am I'm not sure I can legally-

Yang, leaning forward: I am a mother of four. Give me my goddamn coffee.

Yang: ...

Yang, giving in: And six muffins, and a bakers dozen of assorted bagels.

Clove and Basil: YAY!

~~~~~

Tarra, her head poking over the desk in the home's study, quiet and curious: Mom?

Blake, sitting behind the desk, looking up from paperwork: Yes darling?

Tarra, pointing to a steaming tea cup: What's in there?

Blake, smiling: Oh? That's my tea dear. It's a very tasty drink, helps me relax. Would you like to try?

Tarra, silent for a while before slowly stepping around the desk and nods, taking the cup from Blake gently: Mhhm.

Blake, watches with loving amusement as Tarra blows the liquid to cool it down before taking a sip: So, how do you like it?

Tarra, tilting her head, her cat ears flicking in pleasant surprise: Oh! That's tasty!

Blake, chuckling a bit and ruffles Tarra's hair before standing up and stretching, puts out her hand for Tarra to hold: Come, let's go to the kitchen and I'll make you your own cup!

Tarra, cheerfully taking Blake's hand: Okay!

~~~~~

Ruby, working in her wooden shed out behind the home covered in oil and grime, music blasting from a radio, reaching to the side of her work bench to grab something that isn't there: Hey, where's my drink?

Thyme, awkwardly standing behind her, an energy drink in their hand: ...uhhh.

Ruby, turning around to face them, in disbelief: ...really?

Thyme, shrugs, defensively: They're good! Besides, no one else will let me drink them.

Ruby, snatching the can from Thyme, scolding: Yeah because they're bad for you!

Ruby, noticing the can is empty, laughs a bit before tossing it aside: Ah screw it. Grab two more from that mini fridge.

Thyme, nodding, doing as they were told: Hell yeah!

Ruby, taking one of the cans from Thyme, cracking it open: But. If you're gonna drink my drinks, you're helping with weapon maintenance.

Thyme, groaning, reluctantly agreeing: Fiiiine.

~~~~~

Weiss, relaxing in a mud bath, a face mask on with cucumbers atop her eyes, a glass of wine in her hand: This? Is nice.

Ren, in the adjacent mud bath, equally relaxed: Agreed.

Weiss, tilting her head towards Ren: We should hang out more often.

Ren, extending his own glass of wine, clinking cheers with Weiss, the both of them taking a sip: Oh...absolutely.

[hulijingemperor2]

Yao and team dimple: *relaxing together*

Yao: *minding his business*

(Yes I changed the cover)

Xue yang: Jiggy, this is the time to stop being cute. We know that you're really hot and badass.

Yao: *glares*

Mo xuanyu: yangyang. Yao gege can do both.

Su she: exactly.

Yao: you're right. I master both.

Xue yang: but I love it when you're savage.

Yao: I know it's favored by team dimple.

Xue yang: *kisses* you supermodel. Hot little diva.

Yao: *smile*

Mo xuanyu: *kisses*

Su she: *lovingly grabbed A-Yao's hands* I love every part of you Huangdi.

Xue yang: every part, hehehehehehe. Which part is your fave?

Mo xuanyu: yangyang. *laughing*

Su she: *blush* every aspect of Huangdi. Now don't be nasty.

Xue yang: what were you thinking, you little simp.

Yao: *rolls eyes* behave.

Mo xuanyu: yes Yao gege.

Xue yang: it was for scientific purposes.

Xiying: Huangdi, Huangdi. Lan Jingyi has arrived.

Yao: excellent. Bring him in.

Su she: ugh. Another Lan.

Jingyi: *entering* heyy Yao Huangdi!!

Su she: a rude Lan too. Doesn't he know how to greet Huangdi.

Yao: hi Jingyi. Nice to meet you.

Take a seat.

Attendants: *pouring out some tea*

Yao: and have some tea as well.

Jingyi: woww.

Do you even lift a finger?

Yao: I could if I wanted, but my staff and team D won't let me. *laughing *

Jingyi: *gulps it down* tasty tea!!!

Yao: glad you like.

Jingyi: *accidentally knocks a saucer off the table* oh shoot! sorry!!!

Xiying: kid! You just broke Huangdi's hetian saucer. It was an antique.

Yao: *raises hand stopping him* It's alright. And he's young.

Don't argue with him.

Xiying: yes Huangdi.

Jingyi: Yao Huangdi, why haven't you read my requests!!

Yao: that's yours plus 6000, darling. So Minshan, team dimple and my staff would help me.

Jingyi: someone told me not to harass Huangdi.

Yao: huh? Jingyi, we're hospitable people.

Su she: sorry sorry. It was me. Forgive me Huangdi.

I took all of Jingyi's requests and decided to reply to them.

Xue yang: savage. But I like it.

Yao: ohhhh!!! Shanshan. You're very mischievous. Anyways Jingyi, Song'er told me that you want me to adopt you.

Jingyi: yea! I'm fed up Lan lectures. And you're super cool. I want to live with you and Rusong.

Yao: awwww.

Su she: you have finally come to your senses.

Jingyi: what are you grumbling about.

Yao: *strokes head* of course I'll adopt you, Yi'er. I know it's hard not knowing your parents. And you're trying to navigate your own life without them. I'm honoured to be a figure in your life.

Jingyi: *hugs* thank you thank you thank you so much!!! You're so awesome!!!

Yao: you're welcome, darling.

And look at the coincidence. I was planning to adopt someone, then you came my way.

Jingyi: yea! Cool right.

Mo xunayu: Yao gege, your family is always flawless.

Su she: congrats Huangdi.

Xue yang: yea, Jiggy should have more children.

Yao: thank you, team D. Love you!

Yao: Yi'er, there's a house on Jing Manor's compound called Phoenix hall. It's your official residence now.

What do you want to name it?

Jingyi: how about Cloud hall.

Yao: beautiful.

You'll have your own staff and entourage and security.

Jingyi: woww! Can they night hunt with me?! And are they hulijings??

Yao: yes absolutely, and yea they're fox spirits.

But speaking of fox spirits, Yi'er I have a suggestion!

Jingyi: I'm ready! Tell me!

Yao: well since that Song'er is Dianxia Taizi, he can't run a sect. So I'll make you the clan leader of the fox spirit sect in the near future.

Jingyi: wow!! A sect leader! Omg! That will definitely be fun!!

Yao: you're a Meng now. So you can run the Yunping Meng Sect.

You'll carry Lan when you visit the cloud recesses.

Mo xuanyu: when our Song'er went to the cloud recesses, and did minor cultivator things here and there, he used Jin Rusong as his name.

Rusong: mhm. *smiling* congrats. A-Yi!

Jingyi: thanks bro!

Yao: a fox elder will teach you about our fighting techniques. Or you can just learn from A-Song.

Jingyi: I rather Rusong! I'm tired of old, crabby teachers.

Rusong: don't worry, we'll run the Meng sect together for the while, until you get the hang of it. And you don't have to deal with Qiren 2.0.

Su she: haha, Qiren is definitely crabby. I don't know when that old man will make someone else the Lan sect leader.

Xue yang: Lan qiren got crabs from Ruohan.

Jingyi: *cracking up* oh gosh! Why do I see that happening! But how do you know these stuff.

Xue yang: worked with him. And I'm a RuoQi shipper.

Mo xuanyu: we all are.

Rusong: lol, I am too.

Mo xuanyu: see. Even Dianxia.

Jingyi: team D is so random.

Anyways, Huangdi Diedie, can I still go to the cloud recesses?

Yao: yea of course. I encourage you to continue as a cultivator and adventure with your friends.

Jingyi: awesome!

Rusong: *hugs* welcome to the family, bro!

Jingyi: this is the best thing what ever happened to me!

Yao: you two are so sweet!!

I love you both.

Rusong and Jingyi: *hugging A-Yao* love you too A-Die.

Su she: is Jingyi going to keep dressing like a clown or?

Jingyi: that's my Lan robes!

Su she: exactly.

Yao: *laughing* Shanshan. Be nice.

Su she: fine Huangdi.

Yao: he can wear his Lan robes if he wishes. But you know, as your parent I'll gift you with outfits, hair sticks, ornaments, fans and shoes. Just like how I did with Song'er.

Jingyi: I'm really thrilled. Woowooowoo! Would I have a personal chef?

Yao: a whole team of chefs, Yi'er.

Jingyi: *awestruck* AH I'M LIVING THE LIFE! this is how it's like to have a rich family, hehehehehe.

Yao: I'm so glad that you're happy.

Yuyu, can you call Huan? Tell him that I got another child!

Mo xuanyu: yea Yao gege. And this means that his responsibilities got heavier.

Su She: exactly. He should be a breadwinner for his children.

Xue yang: lipsy will be drilled by us.

Mo xuanyu: guys come with me. We got to interview him!

Jingyi: *why do they call him Lan lips?!!

Rusong: because they're random! But you'll get to like them!

Team D means the world to me.

Yao: *cheerful* yes.

My sweethearts, let's have some snacks while we wait for them. Yi'er, what do you like to eat?

Jingyi: anything that tastes good!!!

Yao: alright then.*pats head*

Song'er, I know that you love rice cakes and tangyuan? *strokes hair*

Ruosng: yea A-Die.

I'm also feeling for roasted chestnuts.

Yao: definitely.

Attendants: *leaving to get it served to them*

Jingyi: *astonished by the attendants* wow!

Huangdi Diedie. I love chicken wings.

Yao: oh really!

Fortunately the chefs here can create different flavor wings for you.

Jingyi: that's really awesome, Huangdi Diedie.

Yao: Yi'er. You don't need to call me Huangdi Diedie. Just A-Die will be fine.

Jingyi: ok ok, sure! A-Die!!!!

~~

Team D: *hovering ominously over Xichen* Lan lips.

Xichen: ah, team dimple. Hi.

Su she: you better not slack off.

Mo xuanyu: Yao gege is pregnant.

Xue yang: he's in labour! Thanks to you!

Xichen: what?! What happened to A-Yao?!

Mo xuanyu: aren't you going to attend to him! And buy milk for the baby!

Xue yang: Xichen! Run!!!

Xichen: team dimple, can you relax and tell me clearly.

Su she: this is not the time, old man!

Xichen: Su she, I'm not old.

Xue yang: what is wrong with him!

Mo xuanyu: Yangyang, he's only concerned about being young and gorgeous.

Xue yang: the audacity. He impregnated Jiggy and now he's thinking about his appearance!

Su she: bad bad, Lan lips.

Mo xuanyu: team dimple technically help raise Yao gege's child, while lipsy studies how to tie Yao gege up with his headband in different ways.

Xue yang: I know right.

Xichen: *cracking up* guys, let's go meet A-Yao!

Mo xuanyu: that's what we were telling your for the longest while.

*running in*

Xichen: A-Yao!!

Yao: *feeding Rusong and Jingyi*

Xichen: Jingyi?!! What are you doing here.

Jingyi: I live here Zewu Jun. Now what are you doing here, hehehehehehe.

Oh right, you and A-Die are married.

Xichen: yea *out of breath* A-Yao I ran all the way here. I thought that you were in labour.

Yao: *laughing* what?!

Jingyi: A-Die??? Are you pregnant?!

Your tummy is kinda flat for nine months. Is it a hulijing thing.

Yao: guys I'm not pregnant.

Rusong: Team dimple, what did you say to him!

Mo xuanyu: the truth, Dianxia.

Su she: we told him that Huangdi got a child.

Xue yang: and he's in labour. So come quick. His water already broke.

Jingyi: yea, team dimple is right.

Rusong: oh my. *cracks up*

Mo xuanyu: er Dianxia agrees.

Yao: Huanhuan, I adopted Jingyi!! *smile*

Xichen: aww, that's sweet. And now Song'er has an adorable brother.

Yao: yep.

Su she: are you implying that Song'er is lonely.

Xue yang: how could you?

Mo xuanyu: little Dianxia is loved by all, Lan lips.

Jingyi: bad bad Lan lips.

Rusong: *laughing* I see that team dimple has a new member.

Xue yang: yea. We adore you two.

And must protect you at all costs.

Yao: Huanhuan, I'm so happy right now.

And look how cute these two are.

Xichen: aw I'm also happy.

Yao: Song'er and Yi'er are my everything.

Xue yang: yea, Jiggy loves children.

If Zixuan and Yanli turn away for a second, he might take Jinling too.

Yao: *giggling* Chengmei, I won't. But I will spoil him with gifts.

Jingyi: ohh! It's you who spoilt him!!! You made him princess Jin!

Would you turn me into a young mistress as well. *sobs*

Yao: haha, no darling. Rusong isn't a young mistress isn't he.

Jingyi: oh right.

And now, that annoying mistress Jin is my cousin.

Rusong: yep.

Jingyi: can I still beat him up?

Yao: oh please don't, Yi'er.

You're er Dianxia now. We shouldn't fight.

Jingyi: I'll privately beat him up.

Yao: *laughing*

Rusong: love how you're beating the system.

Jingyi: Yea Rusong. Desperate times calls for desperate measures.

Xue yang: I like this kid.

He got some potential, like Song'er.

Next up~~ Jingyi will receive a few things, and he'll meet Meng Shi.

[hulijingemperor2]

Yao: Su xiandu.

Su she: what's up, Huangdi? 

Yao: is Qishan still a private area?

Su she: yes, as you ordered. You wished to keep it as a private area because of it's historical value and special cultivation arrays.

Yao: yes.

Su she: I have safeguarded it for you. But the nightless city's mansion is in ruins.

Yao: I know that.

It's just that Wen qing's second cousin, Sizhui aspires to reform the Wen sect with new Wen members. And I want to gift him Qishan.

Su she: ohhh.

Do whatever you want, Huangdi. That's really sweet of you.

Yao: *smiling* thank you, xiandu.

Su she: mn.

Yao: I want to thank her for forming an alliance with my empire. Also I love young leaders.

Su she: you're very remarkable.

Yao: I'm flattered.

Shanshan, I want to strengthen the empire a little more. For Rusong.

Su she: excellent. So he'll be just as powerful.

The Meng legacy will forever live on as the greatest empire.

Yao: exactly, xiandu.

Su she: *blushing* you have all the power in the world, but you still call me the chief cultivator.

I love you.

Yao: I love you too. And respect you as well. *touches his shoulder*

Su she: oh my. *blushing* I...I'll organize Qishan for you.

Yao: mn. And do it in secret. We can't have the Jianghu gossiping.

Su she: they would never gossip because it's in their favour.

He's Wangxian's son am I right. *rolls eyes*

Imagine if we were reforming the Wen sect. Everyone would he against us.

Yao: you're so right. But ignore their biases. *kisses his nose*

Su she: *blushing* yes Huangdi.

All I see is you.

Yao: *smiling* lovely. Now see you later darling.

*walks off*

Su she: *continues blushing*

Mo xuanyu: heyy Shanshan.

Xue yang: hey hey whats up with you? Why are you red?

Su she: because of Huangdi.

Mo xuanyu: awwwwwww.

Xue yang: Jiggy can give anyone a heart attack.

Mo xuanyu: because he's Yao gege.

He'll give you a heart attack in your foot.

Su she: exactly.

Huangdi is going to gift Qishan to that Lan child.

Xue yang: Jingyi?

Su she: no. My enemy's son.

But I'm only abiding by my Huangdi's orders. Nothing else. I still dislike the lans.

Mo xuanyu: Yao gege so cool. Helping Sizhui.

Su she: yes. Huangdi is quite magnificent.

~~~

Later that day

Wen qing: *having tea with A-Yao*

Fuying: Huangdi, Lan gongzi is here.

Yao: excellent.

Wen qing: A-yuan!

Sizhui: greetings lianfang Huangdi. Auntie Qing!! *hugs*

Wen qing: what a surprise! Baby!

Yao: I have invited him.

Wen qing: awww.

Yao: lan Sizhui, would you like some tea and snacks?

Sizhui: sure. *sits*

Yao: how are you, dear?

Sizhui: I'm well, qianbei.

Yao: delightful.

Are you coming to Song'er and Yi'er's party?

Sizhui: certainly.

They have already invited me.

Yao: how nice.

Wen qing: I'm glad you're doing OK, A-Yuan.

Sizhui: *smiling*

Fuying; Huangdi. The former yiling laozu, Hanguang Jun and the ghost general.

Wen qing: *glaring*

Fuying: I mean, the former ghost general. Phoenix spirit Huanghou's brother.

Wen ning: *entering with wangxian* Jie.

Wen qing: *hugs* A-ning.

Yao: oh look. Here are your parents and uncle.

Sizhui: hey! What a surprise!

Wei wuxian: lianfang zun!

Yao: Wei Gongzi! Liquor or tea?

Wuxian: obviously liquor.

Yao: just wanted to make sure.

Yao: greetings Hanguang Jun.

Lan zhan: greetings hulijing Huangdi.

Yao: tea? Green tea right?

Lan zhan: mn.

Yao: *signaling his attendants*

You ask for the same thing every time. So I remembered.

Lan zhan: thank you.

Wuxian: how's the wifey?

Yao: A-Su? She's doing great. Thanks for asking.

Wuxian: did you guys break the bed?

Is she pregnant with Rusong and Jingyi's baby sibling?

Yao: *laughing* well sort of. We didn't break the bed though.

Wuxian: ahhhhh, you hot hulijing you!

Lan zhan: *jealous* Wei ying.

Wuxian: I know, I know. I have to respect the emperor, Lan zhan.

He's also my brother-in-law.

So Meng Furen is pregnant?

Yao: yes she is.

So now she's taking it easy.

Wuxian: I'm gonna be an uncle!! Woooo!

Anyways, lianfang zun, Let's don't make that blabbermouth sect leader Yao know.

Yao: certainly not. I have him imprisoned for the longest while. So he won't get the message.

I don't give criminals messages.

Wuxian: that's good.

Yao: enough about me!

I have special news for Sizhui.

Sizhui: for me?

Wuxian: wow. I hope you're not adopting him.

Yao: never. He's yours and Hanguang jun's son.

Yao: Sizhui, was it your dream to start the reformed Wen sect again?

Sizhui: mhm. That's my goal.

Yao: everything in the Jianghu is still under me, as well as my chief cultivator. Hence I'm handing Qishan over to you.

I had it safeguarded, because of its value and historical importance.

You're allowed to start your sect there.

Sizhui: oh my goodness!!! That's great news! Thank you very very much, Huangdi!!! I'm so grateful!!!

Wen qing: what?! You? Are you serious?! But isn't it in ruins?! The nightless city's mansion is in ruins.

Yao: I'll send the best architects to rebuild it.

Wen ning: thank you very much. I, I don't know how to repay you!

Yao: you don't need to.

Wuxian: little radish. *nudges* I'm proud of you!

Sizhui: thanks.

Wuxian: *sobs* I remember the days when I used to plant you like a radish. And then wen qing would chase me around with a shovel.

Lan zhan: *hands him a kerchief*

Wuxian: my heart can't take this cuteness. Ahhhhh.

Sizhui: *laughing*

Lan zhan: congrats, Sizhui.

Sizhui: but can I still be a Lan?

Yao: of course!

Hanguang Jun, what is your imput?

Lan zhan: I'm very happy for Sizhui, and I wish him great success.

Wuxian: thanks for the gift, lianfang zun.

Yao: mn.

Sizhui, I want you to make a thesis of your sect's info.

Name, rules, crest, culture, colour, uniform, motto, aesthetic, habits, desired architecture, desired districts and their supervisory offices etc.

Minshan and I would go through it and keep it in a file.

Sizhui: will do. I'll deliver it at the end of the week

Yao: take your time.

Team dimple: *peeping in the corner of the room*

Mo xuanyu: *teasing Su she* hehe, Minshan and I.

Xue yang: bro won the emperor's heart.

Su she: stop it *blushing*

Xue yang: that's why you're the captain of the Yao henchmen slash simps.

Mo xuanyu: we're so happy for you.

Xue yang: yea dude.

Lan zhan: there's one problem.

Su she: this evil, crusty Lan always has a problem with something.

Mo xuanyu: i know right.

Xue yang: Shanshan just say the word, and I'll attack!

Su she:I want to attack him for myself.

He dare to find a problem in my Huangdi's suggestion.

Ungrateful Lan, your sect is graced by the emperor.

Xue yang: yea correct. If Jiggy hated the lans, he would have told me to wipe them out.

Yao: what's that?

Lan zhan: I don't want my son to report to that Lan traitor Su she.

Su she: a**hole.

Yao: ohh......

He's the chief cultivator, Hanguang Jun. He supervises the clans in the Jianghu like a minister. It's his job to have info on new clans. And old ones too.

Lan zhan: I don't accept.

Yao: then that doesn't change his position.

Remember I have passed it down to him as I became more engrossed in being huangdi.

He was appointed by me.

Xue yang: duh.

Lan zhan: and I say again. I don't accept.

Mo xuanyu: I think you should give him a piece of your mind for insulting you.

Su she: I'm used to it. And I don't need his approval.

Huangdi always fights for me. He's so precious.

Yao: *sigh* you can choose your chief cultivator when you become Huangdi ok. But unfortunately for you I'm in control.

Zewu Jun is the sect leader of the lan sect and you don't see him complaining.

Lan zhan: because you have him wrapped around your finger.

Su she: *infuriated* how dare he calls my lord a manipulator. I'll chop him up.

Yao: because he's a Zongzhu and I'm a Huangdi, Hanguang Jun.

The Jianghu's flow of power is hierarchical.

Lan zhan: you--

Xue yang: that's the most sophisticated and esoteric way to say that he's the boss.

Su she: yup.

Yao: as presiding over the Jianghu, I had ordered the selection of chief cultivators to be determined on steadfastness, uniqueness, loyalty, valour and skill. Not popularity or favoritism.

Lan zhan: *infuriated*

Mo xuanyu: the emperor everyone needs and has.

Xue yang: Jiggy is so hot when he's political. Dang.

Su she: brilliant and just.

I have so much love, devotion and respect for him.

Sizhui: enough. Please don't fight.

I'll report to the chief cultivator and Huangdi, Hanguang Jun. I don't have a problem.

Lan zhan: fine.

Wei ying, let's go. I take your leave, Huangdi.

Sizhui: thanks again. *smile*

Yao: no problem darling.

The Juniors of the Jianghu must have a future.

Wei Gongzi, Hanguang Jun. We'll keep in touch.

Lan zhan: mn.

Wuxian: can I keep the liquor?

Yao: go ahead. I have the imperial winery.

Wuxian: right!

Bye dude. See you, Wen qing.

*exits*

Wen qing: thanks for everything, Yao Huangdi. I'm really happy for A-Yuan.

Yao: you don't need to thank me.

Wen ning: Huangdi. We always wanted Sizhui to achieve great things. And now he'll become a sect leader because of you.

Thanks again.

~~~~~

A week after.

Sizhui: Huangdi, Su xiandu, here's the thesis.

Yao: lovely.

It looks good. Here you go, A-she.

Su she: mhm.

Sizhui: I'm sorry about my adopted A-Die. He had insulted you guys. You know it's an age old rivalry.

Yao: it's fine, dear.

Su she: if Huangdi is happy then I'm happy.

Sizhui: good to hear.

Wuxian: he was maybe cranky because I gave him less kisses.

Su she: what a man child.

Wuxian: just like you.

Su she: because I used to copy him.

Bogus, childish lans

*reading through* Sizhui, you haven't changed a thing about the Wen sect, which is good.

If you preserve what you have then the sect will be very authentic.

Sizhui: yup. I have only altered the outfit and the Mansions design.

Yao: oh so would I be out of style for your opening banquet?! *laughing*

Su she: Huangdi sometimes dresses in the uniforms of other clans in which he's connected to.

He was once a Wen after all.

Sizhui: aww. Huangdi you'll look awesome.

You could never be out of style.

Yao: thank you.

Su she: what else did you change.

Sizhui: the rules and lifestyle.

I want them to remain the same as how I remembered them in the burial mounds. 

Civilized, pure, not a care in the world.

Wuxian: a little crazy and drunk at times.

Sizhui: I can't remember that part.

Wuxian: because you had a bedtime.

Sizhui: oh right.

I want them to be gardeners and physicians, and cultivate for good.

Wuxian: that's my son.

Su she: that's really peaceful.

And what about martial arts?

Sizhui: yup. They'll learn the Wen way of fighting and cultivating. But only for defense and the service of others.

I'm going to inforce music cultivation like how Wei qianbei do.

Wuxian: awwwww.

Yao: that's amazing.

Sizhui: Huangdi can you come to our martial arts training some time? To see if their sword techniques are corresponding to the Wen? Uncle ning is coming too.

Yao: sure.

Sizhui: thank you.

Yao: *reading through the thesis again*

Minshan, what do you think? I find it's flawless.

Su she:  everything looks correct, Huangdi.

Yao: congratulations sect leader Wen. Your sect is approved.

*stamps*

Su she: *stamps as well*

Sizhui: great!!!

Yao: your new sect will be funded by the Jianghu's treasury.

Sizhui: ok then. When is the ceremony?

Yao: we'll arrange a date and tell you.

Sizhui: sure. I'll wait.

Yao: may I share one tip?

Sizhui: tell me, Huangdi.

Yao: to make your sect more popular, you should host banquets and little parties.

Sizhui: I'll remember that! Thanks for the tip.

And your fox spirits will be protected by us.

Yao: *smile* good.

[xpegasusuniverse]

Jaune: *knocks Cardin off before pinning him down with Crocea Mors inches away from Cardin's neck*

Cardin: *sighs* I yield.

Jaune: *smiles* Good match, Cardin. *gets off Cardin and helps him up*

Cardin: Damn, Jauney Boy, you were a beast.

Jaune: You sound like my girlfriend.

Cardin: *smirks* Hah, nice.

Jaune: You were pretty fierce yourself, felt like you were gonna dominate me for a minute. How are you feeling?

Cardin: *Stretches* You knocked me down pretty hard, and I'm kind of banged up from you manhandling me, but I'm fine.

Jaune: *chuckles* Good thing you've got a plump ass, probably helped break your fall.

Cardin: *raises eyebrow* Oh, I've got a fat ass. *smacks Jaune's butt* You felt kind of heavy when you were on top of me. Bet you've been packing away pastries in the dining hall.

Jaune: Well, want to help shed those pounds with round 2?

Cardin: Not today, I've got to finish studying for Oobleck's next test. But let's make something clear. *Cardin flashes Jaune a predatory grin* Next time, I'm coming out on top. Your ass is mine, Jauney Boy.

Jaune: *returns Cardin's grin with his own* I'd like to see you try.

Cardin: *his smile softens* Later. *walks to his team*

Jaune: *runs up to Pyrrha, Ren, Nora, and team RWBY* Hey guys.

Pyrrha: Hello, darling. *gives Jaune a peck on the cheek*

Jaune: *a smile and blush spread across his face* You always know what I need. *notices Nora, Ren, and team RWBY giving him strange looks* What's with them?

Pyrrha: They're just impressed by your victory.

Blake: Yeah! You were... super cool out there.

Weiss: *pointedly avoiding eye contact with Jaune* Yes, very impressive. You showed great skill.

Jaune: *smiles* Ah, thanks, everyone.

Nora: You're seriously gonna let Cardin get away with calling you fat? I demand vengeance!

Ren: He didn't exactly call Jaune "fat."

Nora: Still...

Jaune: *looks away in embarrassment* Well, not wrong. I have been had a few too many of those new raspberry pastries in the dining hall.

Pyrrha: I think I know another way for you to work off those treats. *gives Jaune a sultry look and licks her lips*

Jaune: *leaps into Pyrrha's arms* I guess we'll see you all at dinner. *Pyrrha carries him off to their room*

Yang: Seriously, he just finished a really intense sparring match.

Weiss: And they need to study for Oobleck's test.

Ren: Don't worry, Pyrrha's fully prepared and she'll make sure Jaune passes as well.

Blake: I've got to go too. *holds up the card Russel gave them* It would be rude to show up empty-handed.

Nora: Yeah! Let's make a pecan pie!

Blake: They said no nuts.

Nora: Right, sorry. *walks off with Blake*

I was reading through your posts and this idea popped into my head, featuring Arkos and Heresy:

Pyrrha, Ren, Nora, and team RWBY are watching Jaune and Cardin spar.

Ruby: Wow, this is really intense, are their sparring sessions always like this?

Ren: Yes, Jaune and Cardin really seem to bring out each other’s inner warrior.

Pyrrha: *staring at the match with odd look her face*

Yang: Uh, are you okay?

Pyrrha: You guys seriously don’t see it?

Weiss: See what?

Pyrrha: Them. *points to Jaune and Cardin*

Ren: I’m not sure I follow.

Nora: Yeah, all I see is Jaune kicking Carson’s butt!

Pyrrha: Oh come on! You’d have to be blind to not see that they’re clearly into each other.

*awkward silence*

Blake: …what?

Pyrrha: You heard me. The sexual tension between those two is so thick you’d need a chainsaw to cut it.

Weiss: Pyrrha, that’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. How could you possibly come to that conclusion?

Pyrrha: The way Jaune looks at Cardin when they’re sparring is the same way he looks at me when we’re having sex.

Weiss: Wh-what!

Ren: I’m sure there’s another explanation for-

Cardin: Get ready, Jauney-boy, I’m gonna give it to you hard and fast!

Jaune: You know I love it rough!

Ren: …now I see it.

Blake: So, are you afraid Jaune is going to cheat on you with Cardin?

Pyrrha: Absolutely not, those two idiots are so dense the sun would burn out because they realized they like each other.

You had my attention at Arkos and Heresy.

Cardin: Come on, Jauney. I'm waiting~!

Jaune: Oh, you want it? Come and get it~!

Blake: (Pulls out her notebook and a pen)

Yang: No.

Blake: (Puts them away)

Nora: (Pulls out her notebook and pen)

Ren: No.

Nora: (Laughs) Like you can stop me?!

Ruby: I have a question. Do you think Cardin's team knows?

Russel: (Across the bleachers) Here. (Tosses an index card to Ruby) Our card.

Ruby: (Reads) "The Beacon Official Cardin X Jaune Fan Club. Punch & Pie Welcome."

Weiss: Is that offering punch and pie, or do we have to bring it?

Dove: No nuts, please. I'm allergic.

Lark: We also have the ingredients to bake at a short notice, also.

Pyrrha: (Thinking) Watching them would be so hot... But then I remember it would be Cardin in my bed. (Shudders) No thanks.

Jaune: (Charges) Get ready, Cardin! I'm going to tear that ass up!

Cardin: (Clashes) You can fucking try, Jauney! I'm not just gonna bend over and take it!

Glynda: Ahem! Gentleman, please, keep it civil! (Thinking) This is just like my fan fics!

[hulijingemperor2]

Today A-Yao was picking out some outfits and accessories along with Rusong and Meng Shi in their living room.

(As the clothing vendors and tailors would come to them).

Yao: isn't this beautiful?

Meng Shi: of course! Perfect wear for a Huangdi.

Rusong: what about this, Nainai.

Meng Shi: mmm. You should pick something more fit for a gent.

Rusong: mn. Understand.

Meng Shi: try this shade.

Rusong: ahh, gorgeous.

Yao: A-niang, your fashion advice is the best.

Meng Shi: always, A-Yao.

Sisi: Huanghou, this colour will bring out your eyes.

Meng Shi: I agree.

Xue yang: *entering with team d*

Ay yo, three supermodels in one place.

Mo xuanyu: heyy regal three. Are you shopping?

Yao: yea we are. We're having a soiree later, remember.

Xue yang: fancy.

Su she: oh right. The elite fox spirits are visiting.

Yao: yep. So famous Kitsunes like Tamamo no Mae and Su Daji are coming.

To just chill and discuss about the fox spirit world as a whole.

Sadly immortal Kuzu no ha can't make it.

(In this fic they're two different fox spirits)

Su she: Huangdi, I'll have my sect send gifts for your guests in the evening.

Yao: ah you're such a darling.

Yao: *to the vendors* we'll take these*

Yes Huangdi.

Xue yang: Su Daji is awesome!! Possessing a dead body, marrying a king and controlling him too!

I would love to do that one day.

Yao: Yangyang, who do you want to control?

Meng Shi: can't be my son.

Xue yang: relax. I want to control Songlan. Hehehehehehe.

And maybe huaisang and Nie mingjue.

Shanshan is Su Daji your relative?

Su she: no. And those Sus aren't cultivators. 

My xuanyu: Tamamo no Mae is also very badass and beautiful.

Meng shi: and talented too. We're besties actually. Like me, she's excellent in dancing, playing instruments, singing, calligraphy and writing.

Sisi: *jealous* (Huanghou jiejie doesn't talk to me like that).

Meng Shi: Sisi, you're exquisite too.

Sisi: *smiling*

Yao: then Kuzu no ha.

Abe no Seimei's mom. She's also a beautiful immortal Kitsune deity.

Meng Shi: yess. She's like my jiejie.

Yao: we fox spirits are like family after all.

Mo xuanyu: sounds elite!

Rusong: I know right.

I'm glad I'm a part of it.

Yao: you must.

Yao: and lastly, ghost king, Hua cheng is going to make an appearance.

Xue yang: why?

Mo xuanyu: woww. I saw him when I tried to unalive myself! He's so cool!

But he's a hulijing?

Yao: mhm. He's a hulijing, but he focuses on other things, like running Ghost City

However Hua cheng is close to the Mengs. So much to tell me that I can hit him up whenever I need help with something in the spirit world.

Xue yang: you got a hitman in every place, Jiggy.

Rusong: A-Die is a hitman collector.

Yao: it's called links.

Once you maintain healthy relationships, you'll always have a friend to watch your back. And you'll do the same in return.

Xue yang: ahh. That's true.

Su she: you're very smart.

Yao: however, I made him the undercover protector of hulijings.

~~~~

Later in the evening, the soiree started, and the Mengs waited to receive their guests. As expected, the banquet hall was beautifully decorated~ and this time, decorated with sakura blossoms.

Soon after, some mist appeared and a sweet smell filled the air.

All of A-Yao's guests however would be greeted by drumming as well as horns

Announcers: entering the legendary Tamamo No Mae, Immortal of Kitsunes.

(Her and Meng Shi are powerful immortals together)

Yao and family: *bow* greetings.

Tamamo no Mae: *bow* greetings to the Meng family.

Yao: how are you, empress Tamamo.

Tamamo no Mae: I'm alright, Yao Huangdi. And I'm happy to be here again.

Your place is truly extravagant..

Yao: thank you. Make yourself at home.

Tamamo no Mae: surely, I would.

Meng Shi: Maemae!!

Tamamo no Mae: Shishi!!*hugs tightly* my hulijing counterpart.

How's it been.

Meng Shi: Maemae,  I'm the happiest person in the world! What about you?

Tamamo no mae: I'm great. And happy to see you.

You're the cutest thing.

Meng Shi: aww you're also cute, Maemae. And you're a beautiful immortal.

Rusong: greetings, Kitsune immortal.

I see that you and Nainai make a dynamic pair.

Tamamo no mae: yes indeed, Dianxia.

I must commend you on your elegance too. May you be successful.

Rusong: thank you. And please enjoy the soiree.

Tamamo no mae: certainly.

Hulijing dowager empress, you have the sweetest most elegant grandson. He really took after Yao Huangdi's grace and hospitality.

Meng Shi: he's our pride.

Yao: the future of the empire.

Tamamo no mae: he's definitely the cutest hulijing Wangzi to ever live.

Rusong: ah, don't flatter me so much.

Thank you for the compliments.

Announcer: entering, Su Daji, the Zhou Wanghou, and the grandmaster of politics and fox spirit democracy.

Su Daji: *bowing in unison with the Meng fam and tamamo no mae.*

Yao: greetings, Wanghou. I hope all is OK.

Su Daji: yes Huangdi. I'm doing good.

Yao: and your kingdom?

I heard that Jiang Ziya was tormenting you.

Su Daji: yea, so i fired him from the court.

Yao: good. Sometimes you have to do things to make yourself comfy.

Su Daji: indeed.

After I fired him, i told my husband that he fired him when he was drunk.

Yao: *laughing* how smart.

Meng Shi: finally you fired him.

Su Daji: yea. He would have foiled my plans.

Meng Shi: I'm happy for you.

And I see you haven't changed. You're still very mischievous.

Tamamo no mae: Daji is truly free spirited.

Su Daji: I didn't do much. *laughing* my husband is already corrupted.

Tamamo no mae: well that's us fox spirits. We make the prosperous more prosperous, the wise more wise and the corrupt more corrupt.

Meng Shi: it was their nature in the beginning.

Su Daji: exactly.

Su Daji: the fox spirits have a great emperor. Maintaining the order in his empire.

Meng Shi: mn. A-Yao is brilliant.

Tamamo no mae: yes, you have a very strong empire.

Yao: thank you immortal and Wanghou.

*bow* I have achieved it through hard work, sacrifice and resilience.

Su Daji: we see.

Tamamo no mae: very talented.

And do you see his adorable successor.

Su Daji: yess!!! He's a charming gentleman.

Rusong: *smiling*

Tamamo no mae: they all have Meng Shi's dimples.

Su Daji: yea but Huangdi has it deeper.

Yao: we're most flattered. My guests. I got you gifts. Courtesy my empire and the Moling Su sect.

Attendants: *bringing out gifts on trays*

Su Daji: such lovely gifts, Yao Huangdi. Thank you very much.

Tamamo no Mae: you have excellent taste, Huangdi.

Su she and his sect members entered with gifts afterwards.

Su she: *bow* Su Minshan from Moling Su greets the elite fox spirits.

Sect members: greetings elite.

Yao: Minshan. You're finally here. *smiling*

*to his guests* you must be familiar with the chief cultivator of the Jianghu.

He's one of my closest friends.

Tamamo no mae: excellent. Yes we heard a lot about him.

Su Daji: he's a hero. Being the confidant of the emperor.

Tamamo no mae: thank you for the gifts, chief cultivator.

Su Daji: they're one of a kind.

Su she: you're welcome. And rest assured, my sect is part of my Huangdi's empire. Hence all fox spirits are safe as well as revered in Moling.

Tamamo no mae: lovely.

Su she: we'll leave the gifts here and excuse ourselves.

Yao: the chief cultivator doesn't want to stay with us? *smile*

Su she: *blush* I would love to stay, but I respect your confidentiality.

Yao: as you wish. Thank you for your contribution.

Announcer: entering, Crimson rain, Hua cheng, the ghost king and undercover protector of fox spirits.

Hua cheng: hello Huangdi and the rest of the elite.

Yao: nice to meet you. How's gege?

Hua cheng: flawless as always.

Yao: great. I wish you a happy marriage.

Hua cheng: thank you.

Yao: everything well in the ghost city?

And Paradise Manor.

Hua cheng:  yup. You should visit some time.

Yao: sure thing. That's good to hear.

Hua cheng: when you're coming, you should wear a mask.

For the aesthetic.

Yao: as you wish.

How did you hurt your hand?

Hua cheng: sculpting again.

Yao: ohhh. Yes, I have heard about your sculpting skills.

Rusong: greetings Sang lang.

Huangdi and the chief cultivator have gotten you gifts as well.

Hua cheng: oh thank you!

Meng Shi: ghost king, how's your health?

Hua cheng: I'm good. I don't get sick.

Su Daji: not even from your husband's cooking?

Hua cheng: Gege makes the best food, Wanghou.

Tamamo no Mae: don't be hurt. Su Daji is known for joking around and being savage.

Hua cheng: yea, I'm accustomed to her humor.

Yao: let's have a seat and discuss.

Would you like tea or wine?

Su Daji: wine.

Rusong; tea

Meng Shi and Tamamo no mae: tea.

Hua cheng: you know I love wine.

Yao: excellent. *sits* you'll be served shortly.

The wine is made from rare orchids. And the tea is rose and peach blossom.

Hua cheng: ahh.

Yao: peace and wellbeing is successfully restored in the the fox spirit world.

Immortal empress Tamamo no Mae, what do you think we should do to continue protecting them.

Tamamo no mae: Huangdi, our fox spirits are all scattered across the mortal world. We should give them something that they can use when in danger.

Yao: yes.

What if we give all fox spirits a protective seal.

Tamamo no mae: good idea.

Meng Shi: perfect. Millions of our fox spirits will receive the seal.

Tamamo no mae: but we have to think of a system.

Also we can't just give it to any and anyone.

Yao: it will he granted to those without a criminal record.

Children, women, the weak, imjured, disabled and those whose tails has been cut will be our first preference.

Meng Shi: right. Su Daji, Madam of democracy, tell us about a system we can use.

Su Daji: sure taihou. As for Huangdi's empire, you should divide it by district and grant it to them.

The seal is a spiritual thing so the process will be fast.

And since that you and Tamamo no mae are fox spirit goddesses, you can bestow it on your people in that area.

Rusong: basically all fox spirits revere them, so that won't be hard.

Tamamo no mae: what do you think about fox spirits and mortals as one?

And the cultivators as well.

Rusong: the relationship can be healthy once there's respect.

Su Daji: I'll literally have them executed. I don't have pity for mortals and cultivators.

Cuz they mistreat us.

Meng Shi: luckily that respect is being restored.

Yao: yes.

Here in my empire, if a non fox spirit hurt or murder an innocent hulijing, they'll be imprisoned.

Maybe we can implement the same for the fox spirit world.

Su Daji: I suggest that our people should have high positions, in order to change our image and maintain our control.

Yao: I agree.

Rusong: do you all have any views on those who are half hulijing? What if they don't accept their fate.

Tamamo no mae: Dianxia, the world is filled with illusion. And on top of that, an individual is affected by their environment.

As much as we wish to change them, we are unable to.

But we can inspire them.

Rusong: oh, rightly said.

Tamamo no mae: however a hulijing can't hide. Even if they wish to.

Yao: as for the ones who embrace their hulijing side, they're considered as a citizen.

Meng Shi: mn.

Yao: Hua cheng, how's your undercover work?

Hua cheng: I got in a fight with a few cultivators from some clan. They were going to capture fox spirits.

Su Daji: did you behead them?

Hua cheng: nah. But I slit their throats. Does that count?

Su Daji: yea dude. That's still great.

I just like executing criminals.

Meng Shi: well that's effective.

Su Daji: I think I hang around my stupid husband a little too much.

Meng Shi: *laughing* stupid husband?!

Su Daji: yea. But I love him and I love that he's stupid.

He gives me everything I ask.

Meng Shi: you deserve it!

Su Daji: mhm.

Meng Shi: I'm glad I'm single and independent.

Su Daji: you're a boss though.

Tamamo no mae: I married an emperor once. But he got sick and then passed away.

Su Daji: so sad.

Tamamo no mae: yea but then they found out that I was a Kitsune so I had to run for my life.

Meng Shi: ohh how tragic.

Good that you rose to success.

Yao: certainly.

Now what else show we discuss? How about out  exceptionally gifted citizens.

The ones who excel in a skill.

Meng Shi: ah yes! Our resources.

Yao: yes. I hope they continue to contribute their skills towards the betterment of themselves and the fox spirit world.

Tamamo no mae: the talents of the citizens must indeed be noticed.

Hua cheng: do you guys have an ambassador? Yao huangdi?

Yao: actually no.

Hua cheng: want me to be your ambassador? If you permit. I think it's about time I give back to the hulijings.

Yao: well you are perfect for the job.

And you're a hulijing who had protected other hulijings.

But would it tamper with your other work?

Hua cheng: nah, Huangdi. I can multi task. Just call me when you need me to go here and there.

Yao: alright. And I'll increase your salary.

Hua cheng: thank you, Huangdi.

Meng Shi: lovely.

You're absolutely patriotic.

Hua cheng: yes! I find it fun.

Yao: I'll supply you with sculpting materials. The best marble from overseas.

Hua cheng: ahh thank you Yao Huangdi.

Yao: he's an excellent sculptor.

Su Daji: ooo how nice.

Rusong: he built ghost City and a few temples too.

Tamamo no mae: that's some talent.

[hulijingemperor2]

~~~~~~~~♡♡♡♡♡♡~~~~~♡♡♡♡~~~

Yao: *in his office*

Rusong: *points to a file* what's this?

Yao: an immigration bill, to grant fellow fox spirit with adequate places to stay.

Already stamped.

Rusong: ohh.

Su she: hardworking Huangdi. Here's some rice cake, to give you some energy.

Yao: aw thank you darling.

Mo xuanyu: Aw sweet that Song'er is learning again.

Xue yang: finally. This kid keeps snooping around in my knife collection.

Yao: what?! Song'er. *laughing*

Rusong: I find his daggers are cool. And I can fit them in my pocket.

A-Die, you can't only be the one to hide a weapon.

Yao: haha, you have a point.

But don't get hurt, ok. Be careful.

Rusong: sure A-Die!

Su she: Huangdi, let me organize your papers.

From more important to less.

Yao: marvelous. Just like how you do.

Su she: should I play the guqin after, so that you can relax.

Yao: sure.

Xue yang: diva.

A-Qing: *skipping in* xue yang! Jiggy! Rich gege!

Yao: oh hi A-Qing.

A-Qing: oh my. Look at paperwork!!

Xue yang: maybe you should go help!

A-Qing: hell no!

Xue yang: you have to learn how to work, A-qing.

A-Qing: rich gege! Help!

Xue yang: Dianxia can't save you.

Rusong: *laughing*

Mo xuanyu: xue yang, stop teasing her.

A-Qing, you don't need to lift a finger.

Xue yang: don't go easy on her! It's a tough world out there.

Do you think that you get the leeway because you're in love with Rusong.

Rusong: *almost faints*

Yao: *chokes on his rice cakes*

A-Qing: *face turns red* XUE YANG!!! I'm not in love with Rusong!! Who told you that!

Xue yang I'll kill you!!

Xue yang: you can't kill me!

A-Qing: do you want me to dispose of your candy?!

Xue yang: A-Qing. Who thought you those secret tricks of tackling your opponent.

A-Qing: you!

Xue yang: oh right.

Good girl.

Xue yang: *rolls eyes*

Fuying: *enters* Huangdi.

Yao: tell me.

Fuying: just reminding you that you and Dianxia have to go to Dongying. To check on your districts and Kitsune citizens, and the Guanyin temple.

Yao: ah right, thank you so much for reminding me. *smile*

Team d: *whispering to each other*

Xue yang: Jiggy has a hella sharp memory. Why does his attendant have to remind him.

Mo xuanyu: yea, I know right.

Su she: I love how Huangdi thanks him. Huangdi is so perfect.

Mo xuanyu: I agree.

Yao: Rusong and I will prepare for the trip.

Fuying: yes Huangdi.

Yao: team dimple, do you guys want to come.

Xue yang: nah, I rather stay here and cause chaos! Hehehehehe.

Su she: I would love to! But you two should go to meet your people.

You look stunning as always.

Mo xuanyu: I want to cause chaos with xue yang!! And dream about you.

Yao: oh my! Well ok then, team d.

Rusong: A-qing. Do you want to join us?

A-Qing: ahhh Dongying is so far! Anyways I'll stay here with xue yang. Plus, these rude Kitsunes might assume that I'm your girlfriend.

Rusong: alright.

Xue yang: is that what you want! Hehehehe. Little simp.

A-Qing: shut up.

And, I don't want anyone to spread rumors about rich gege.

Look how cute he is.

Yao: awww.

Yao: Song'er, you can invite someone. To do some hunting with.

Rusong: oh cool! Then I'll ask Ling gege to come.

Yao: perfect.

Su she: that's a cute idea.

Mo xuanyu: Yao gege, we will miss you.

Su she: yea Huangdi.

Yao: aw. I'll miss you guys too.

Xue yang; I promise we won't do anything to Xichen.

Mo xuanyu: if we do, it would he harmless.

Su she: why?

I mean, rest assured, A-Yao. Xichen is safe with us.

Yao: lol. Please, don't trouble Xichen.

Xue yang: right Jiggy! That's why we'll harass him.

*hugs* jiggybuns, I'll miss your scent. *kisses delicately*

A-Qing: what a simp.

Yao: I'll be back darling.

Su she: *blushing*

Mo xuanyu: *hugs* Yao gege.

Yao: *smiles*

Mo xuanyu: you have the cutest little dimples.

Xue yang: Jiggy. Can you leave your illusion Jiggies here to party with us?

Yao: ohh, you want to party?! Well I don't see why not.

I'll give you four Yaos each.

Mo xuanyu: awwwww. Thank you so much Yao gege! You're so fun.

So who's the fourth one going to?

Yao: to Xichen.

Trio: *growling* Lan lips!

Xue yang: anyways, let's forget about Lipsy.

Can one of the Jiggies wear Wen robes? The super tight one?

Su she and mo xuanyu: *wiping up their nosebleed*

Yao: sure.

And my illusions are more savage, so look out for that.

Xue yang: bring it on!

Su she: they can step on me if they want.

Mo xuanyu: ah how hot!

A-Qing: xue yang and team D are so weird, lol.

Rusong: I, I love their randomness.

~~

Next Day....

Yao and Rusong: *stepping out, wearing outfits with Dongying patterns.

Su she: wow!

Mo xuanyu: aww, Yao gege! You look stunning!

Yao: *opens fan* thank you darling

Su she: always gorgeous.

And you look handsome too, Song'er.

Rusong: thanks uncle Su.

Xue yang: I know you look hella hot, but why do you have to adapt to their style?

Yao: To show some appreciation, of course.

Su she: you're an icon.

Yao: *smiles*

Yao: *adjusts Rusong's clothes* my darling must be neat.

Rusong: mn

Yao: handsome Dianxia.

Do you have your fan?

Rusong: yes A-Die. Noble gentlemen should always have a fan.

Yao: awww, you remembered.

A-Qing: rich gege.

Rusong: oh hey A-Qing.

A-Qing: *hugs* I'll miss you so much!

Rusong: *strokes through her hair* I will miss you too. But I will be back after a couple of days.

A-Qing: ok rich gege!

I got to go lock my room, before xue yang puts a fierce corpse on my bed.

Rusong: *laughing* oh no.

Did he really do that?!

A-Qing: no. But I feel he might.

Rusong: *smile* I hope he doesn't.

A-Qing: same.

Anyways. Have fun, rich gege.

Rusong: thanks.

Oh. A-Die would bring back gifts for team D and Shizun. Maybe I can bring something for you.

A-Qing: *blushing* that's not necessary. But you sure can, since you're filthy rich.

Rusong: ok sure. Take care, Xiao Qing.

Jinling: *entering* Xiao shushu! I'm here.

Yao: A-ling! *hugs* My sweetheart.

Rusong: Ling gege.

Jinling: Rusong hey! Looking neat.

I'm excited to come on the trip..

Rusong: same. I haven't been to Dongying in a while.

Jinling: ohh.

I remembered going with you one time.

Does Xiao shushu still have an archery field? And a hunting ground?

Yao: of course I do. In the backyard.

Suddenly someone was seen peeping through the window.

Jingyi: Huangdi......Huangdi......Rusong!

Rusong: lol, is that Jingyi?!

Jinling: did he sneak into my caravan?

Yao: ahaha, *signals him to come in*

Jingyi: Huangdi.

Yao: oh my. I thought it was an assassin.

*joking*

Pleasant surprise Jingyi.

Jingyi: can I hide out in your mansion? I don't want to be punished again.

Jinling: what did you do this time?!

Jingyi: I didn't do my homework, also I accidentally set Master Qiren's guan on fire.

Team Dimple: *laughing in the corner*

Rusong: omg what?!! How?!

Jinling: what a disaster!

Su she: did he smell like barbecue?

Jingyi: not really. He smelt like burnt vegetables.

Mo xuanyu: oh my goodness.

Yao: *pats head* Jingyi. You should be careful next time.

Jingyi: Huangdi, I got to escape punishment. Can I hide in your palace?

Yao: I have a better option.

What if you come along with us to Dongying.

Jingyi: WOW!!! Of course!! But I didn't bring any clothes with me.

Yao: darling, I'm a filthy rich cool uncle. I'll buy you clothes when we get there. And don't worry, they will be in accordance to the Lan aesthetics.

Jingyi: Huangdi you're awesome!!

I think you should rule the world.

Yao: *laughing* you flatter me.

Anyways, speaking of packing. A-ling, A-Song, you packed your things right?

Rusong: yup. Also i have clothes over at our mansion in Dongying.

Jinling: yea Xiao shushu. I have them here.

*peacock attendants holding them in boxes*

Yao: lovely. Now let's go.

Goodbye my team dimple. I love you a lot.

Team Dimple: we'll miss you too, Jiggybun.

*taking turns to kiss his hand*

Xue yang: have a safe trip. And bring back some candy.

Yao: of course, and thank you.

Su she: be safe, Huangdi.

Mo xuanyu: see you soon, our glamorous A-Yao.

Yao: see you soon. *blows kisses*

Team Dimple: *almost fainting*

~~

A-Yao, Jinling and Rusong boarded their caravan, whereas three more caravans followed~ with their personal guards and luggage.

Thereafter, along the way, they teleported with the use of a teleportation talisman.

Dongying 📍

They arrived at one of the most beautiful cities of Dongying, which held A-Yao's Guanyin temple.

To be continued......

[hulijingemperor2]

Xichen: A-Yao.

Yao: Huanhuan. *hugs* how's your hip?

Xichen: marvelous, sweetheart.

Yao: great. *snuggling*

A-Yao: A-Huan. Why do you smell like cooking oil.

Xichen: ask team dimple.

Yao: oh no.

Su she: he's lying.

Mo xuanyu: *sobs* the other essential oils were finished!

Xue yang: shhh,  xuanyu. Lipsy is clearly suffering from brain fog.

Yao: team D *cracking up* you used cooking oil!! Oh my!

This is the most hilarious thing I heard today!

Xichen: *laughing* yes! I'm going to take another bath.

Mo xuanyu: yea, you can't be smelling like cooking oil next to Yao gege.

Su she: *rolls eyes*

Disturbing the emperor.

Xichen: and I wonder why I smell like that.

Su she: eww, don't use sarcasm.

That's Huangdi's specialty.

Yao: me? Use sarcasm? Haha.

Xue yang: we know that you're savage, Jiggy.

Yao: ah you got me. Now do you want a prize?

Xue yang: see!

Jiggy is savage.

Xichen: I find it's cute.

Anyways, see you soon, A-Yao. *kisses*

Yao: team D.

Trio: we're very sorry Jiggy.

Yao: it's ok. I love your mischief.

Rusong: hey A-Die. *sits and pours himself some tea* I'm feeling a bit stressed.

Yao: oh no! Why darling!

Rusong: I stayed to late, reading and organizing documents. *sighs* Dianxia work.

Yao: baby. *strokes head* you should get some proper rest ok.

Of course I appreciate everything you do, but rest is important.

Rusong: ok A-Die.

Mo xuanyu: he inherited that from you, Yao gege.

Yao: ah yes I know.

Little Dianxia. Do you want eyebags?

Rusong: of course not. I wouldn't look cute anymore.

Yao: right darling.

Rusong: *hugs* I won't pull an all nighter then. Love you A-Die.

Yao: love you too. *kisses him on his forehead* my sweet little hulijing.

*claps hands twice, calling his attendants in* someone, give Song'er a shoulder rub.

Yes Huangdi.

Rusong: A-Die, a hulijing tail rub too.

Yao to his attendants: you have heard your Wangzi.

Certainly Huangdi.

Xue yang: truly a diva.

Mo xuanyu: it's in the blood.

Su she: our cute little Dianxia.

Mo xuanyu: love him.

Xichen's cooking oil scent will disturb Dianxia.

Su she: oh no.

Xue yang: Lan lips better bathe good.

Let's go spy on him.

Mo xuanyu: YES!!

Su she: NO!

Xue yang: but we got the same man parts. What's the shame. And he saw Jiggy's on many occasions.

Mo xuanyu: xue yang!!!!! Song'er is in the room!!!!

Xue yang: *whispers* Xichen saw Jiggy's on many occasions.

Mo xuanyu: *rolls eyes*

Yao: Song'er. You must take it easy ok. Now when your uncle Zish and I are stressed, we would call our emotional support Jiang.

Rusong: wow! Lemme guess, it's uncle Jiang.

Yao: yup.

Xue yang: lol what did the divas do to Jiang cheng.

Su she: I like it.

Mo xuanyu: awww. Got to love the emperors, am I right.

Su she: yup.

Yao: we didn't do anything to him. And besides, he's our harem member.

A-Qing: *skipping in* hey team dimple! Hey little dimple (referring to Rusong)

Rusong: *smiling* Xiao Qing.

Xue yang: why are you out of your cage?!

A-Qing: what fking cage?!

Xue yang: watch your mouth!

Yao: *laughs daintily* Oh my.

A-Qing, how are you?

A-Qing: doing well emps!

Yao: excellent.

Rusong, why don't you take A-Qing to get some lanterns. Soon our lantern festival is coming up. And it's not any other, as it's our hulijing lantern festival.

Rusong: great idea!

A-Qing: of course, i would love to go!

And especially with rich gege!!

Yao: lovely.

Xue yang: don't steal from the vendors.

A-Qing: I'll steal your clothes.

Xue yang: you wouldn't dare.

Yao: A-Qing, other than lanterns, some cultural pieces would be sold.

You two should hurry before all the beautiful lanterns sell out.

Rusong: haha, sure A-Die.

A-Qing: wow. But I thought that you can just order your lanterns. Aren't you the emperor, Jiggy.

Yao: of course we can.

Yet it's more fun when we go out and buy. When Song'er was a child, we used to go into the town in disguise just to buy lanterns and knickknacks.

A-Qing: oh waw! You're a really cool emperor.

Yao: that's when you love your citizens, and see yourself on the same level as them.

Rusong: mhm.

Yao: now go have fun.

A-Qing: thank you!! *grabs Rusong's arm*

Rusong: sure we will, A-Die. *smile*

See you later.

*kisses his hand respectfully*

Yao: bye you two.

Xue yang: don't cause trouble!

A-Qing: I'm not a gremlin like you.

Xue yang: the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, A-qing!!!!

And feel free to kiss Rusong's dimple!

A-Qing: do you have somewhere to be!

Xue yang: Obviously. Do you think I won't go pester Rusong's hot dad.

Su she: oh my goodness. But it's true.

Mo xuanyu: we're very guilty of being simps.

Rusong: lol team dimple.

See you guys.

*secretly smirks at A-Yao*

Yao: *smiles back, then winks*

~~

Yao: *opens fan* lovely.

Su she: indeed.

Mo xuanyu: they're really cute together.

Xue yang: I hope she doesn't spend out all his money

Yao: they'll be fine.

Zixuan: *enters* Yaoyao.

Mo xuanyu: xuan gege!!

Zixuan: aww hi A-yu. *hugs* how are you?!

Mo xuanyu: I'm amazing.

Zixuan: fab.

Xue yang: diva?

Yao: hii Zish. *hugs* what's up.

Zixuan: *sighs* today I feel like relaxing with you and our emotional support Jiang.

Yao: aw same!! Where is he?

Zixuan: since he's our concubine, I sent a caravan to carry him here.

*mouth twitches*

Yao: Zish, what was that?

Zixuan: a....muscle...spasm??

Yao: Zixuan, you always do that when you do something mischievous. Also I'm the grandmaster of that expression.

Zixuan: maybe a little kidnapping was involved.

Yao: *laughing* you kidnapped Jiang cheng?!!! Ahahahahahaha.

Xue yang: didn't know peacock had it in him.

Su she: omg!

Yao: Zish why. *cracking up*

Zixuan: Foxy, he would make a fuss. So I had my servants tie him up, gag him and put him in the caravan.

It's a minor thing. No one got hurt.

Yao: *trying to contain his laughter*

Zish. What to do with you.

Yao: was he hog tied?

Zixuan: of course.

Yao: you make me so proud.

Zixuan: always A-Yao.

I can be a little crazy too, you know.

Yao: yes!!

Xue yang: these two are able to take over the world and no one will notice.

And I'm here for it.

Yao: I ask team dimple to do it like that.

Zixuan: aww yes, let team dimple do it.

You're really tiny after all.

Yao: yea Zish.

Zixuan: you're so cute.

~~~

Jiang cheng: *entering with some peacock spirits* ZIXUAN!!! why did you kidnap me?!

Zixuan: because you would have refused to come!

Yao: *smile* hi, how are you sect leader Jiang?

Jiang cheng: don't use those dimples on me!

Yao: what dimples?

Zixuan: oh come on. We ordered tea for you.

Jiang cheng: *sigh*

Yao and Zixuan: *stretched out their hands*

Jiang cheng: ???

Yao: *winks*

Zixuan: *does the same*

Jiang cheng: *kisses their hands*

Yao: how delightful.

Jiang cheng: what do you emperors want.

Yao: nothing.

Jiang cheng: want to marry me off to someone else? Who is it this time? Nie mingjue or team dimple.

Team Dimple: *petrified*

Mo xuanyu: I only love Yao gege!!!

Su she: ew no.

Xue yang: nah, we're Jiggy simps. And I might sever your tongue and make tea with it.

Yao and Zixuan: *cracking up*

Yao: no! Sect leader Jiang!

We just want to spend time with you.

Zixuan: we can all chitchat and laugh with each other.

While you give us manicures.

Yao: and give us a massage. Because we're hardworking Huangdis.

Jiang cheng: fine.

Both: lovely!

Afterwards~~

Jiang cheng: *giving Zixuan and Yao manicures, while they reclined with cucumber slices on their eyes*

Attendants: *fanning them*

Zixuan: Jiang cheng, what is wrong with your husband.

Jiang cheng: *annoyed* you're my husband, Zixuan.

Zixuan: not one of your glamorous emperor husbands, Jc.

Yao: he's talking about Huaisang.

Jiang cheng: oh right. What did he do this time?

Zixuan: he didn't grind my ink properly. The ink had lumps, which was a disrespect.

Yao: a total disrespect.

Is he scheming something?

Jiang cheng: not to my knowing.

Yao: but Huaisang is good at calligraphy, drawing and painting. Of course he knows how to grind ink perfectly.

Zixuan: he did it out of spite.

How didn't Jiang cheng think of that?!

Yao: Jc! you swore to protect us!

Zixuan: *tearing up*

Attendants: *wiping his tears*

Zixuan: *sniffles* it's the cucumber juice. Emperors don't cry in public.

Attendants: yes Huangdi. It's the cucumber juice. (It's actually tears)

Yao: you broke our heart and your promise.

Jiang cheng: *sighs* oh what a life.

Xue yang: now I know where mo xuanyu got it from.

Mo xuanyu: I'm not dramatic! They're more dramatic than me!

Su she: lol. Anyways, how dare huaisang.

Yao: Jiang cheng, do something.

Zixuan: don't just sigh and let us smell what you ate for lunch.

Jiang cheng: what the hell you want me to do!!

Yao: I don't know. Make soup or something.

Jiang cheng: do I look like a chef.

Zixuan: haven't you learnt anything from A-li.

Yao: ok fine, Chengcheng tell us about A-ling.

Zixuan: that will make us happy.

Jiang cheng: well......I didn't tell him that I would break his legs today.

Yao: awwww. Good job.

Zixuan: how sweet!

Yao: you shouldn't scare A-ling like that.

Zixuan: he's still a baby.

Jiang cheng: yes he is in our eyes, but he keeps picking a fight and getting lost. Then he's running after his dog.

Yao: he's adventurous.

Zixuan: you're very lame, Jiang cheng.

Yao: yea A-ling is still young.

Black Widow

An Iron Widow Playlist by Tooth @a-green-onion with a little help from In This Moment

[ID: a woman in a red corset and heels, with flowing black robes. Text reads "In This Moment: Black Widow". End ID]

1. "The Infection"

This is mostly an instrumental track, but the vibes are great

Official Audio on YouTube, Lyrics

2. "Sex Metal Barbie"

I know you've heard about the bloody knife About my daddy's perfect virgin and my mother's wife You know I heard I don't belong in this game [...] Baby go ahead I'll be your hatred and your pain This is killing us all I don't care if I fall We're the dying, we are the damned

Official Video on YouTube (flashing lights)

Audio on YouTube

Full Lyrics on AZlyrics

3."Big Bad Wolf"

this one's mostly about pacing but also: women yelling about internalizing society's expectations, anyone?

She's got a hold on me Maybe she is just what they want me to be

Official Video on YouTube (flashing lights)

Audio on YouTube

Full Lyrics on AZlyrics

4."Dirty Pretty"

This one's a favorite, both of mine and for Wu Zetian :3

I know I am more than they see I'm everything, everything is me I won't be what you want me to be Your picture perfect vanity I don't want to be your dirty pretty

Audio on YouTube

Full Lyrics on AZlyrics

5."Black Widow"

songs to kill Yang Guang to! and to stomp on his corpse and yell "Welcome to your nightmare" to! another favorite :3

(Eat the male, Kill, Eat the male) [...]

You want control, I disapprove Are you feeling it? Are you feeling it? So watch me close, as I unveil I'm stripping down, your face is pale You are the heart, I am the nail Are you feeling it? Are you feeling it? [...]

(is dangerous. The black widow is dangerous, will readily attack several times)

Full Lyrics on AZlyrics

6."Sexual Hallucination" (featuring Brent Smith)

great song to do a sexy lil mind meld to

You whisper "we're flying" (There's no denying) We both converge as one

Audio on YouTube

Full Lyrics on AZlyrics

7."Sick Like Me"

this is not as good of a fit as some of the others but it's the first song by In This Moment I ever heard and I think it's the definition of cool. It might be a Wu Zeitan/Li Shimin song? the dynamic isn't quite right but look it's a very good song.

Official Video on YouTube (flashing lights)

Audio on YouTube

Lyrics on AZlyrics

8."Bloody Creature Poster Girl"

okay this one, again, is not quite right, and I have nitpicky political issues with it, but it is unfortunately a bop so you will suffer through it. more songs to kill/torture men to.

Baby, you can keep your diamonds You can burn all your fancy things I hunger for the taste Of a painful ache That can survive my wicked sting Darling, I don't need no princes I'm no damsel in distress The only thing I'm needing Is for you to be bleeding From my homicidal kiss

Full Lyrics on AZlyrics

9."The Fighter"

ok this is actually a good one for Wu Zetian. it makes me think about her issues relying to any degree even on the people she trusts, and her complicated relationship with wanting to survive.

I don't need you to free me I don't need you to help me I don't need you to lead me through the light For I will always fall And rise again Your venomous heroine 'Cause I'm a survivor Yeah, I am a fighter [...]

I will not hide my face I will not fall from grace I'll walk into the fire, baby All my life I was afraid to die But now I come alive inside these flames

Official Video on YouTube (less strobe-heavy than the others but still a possible photosensitivity/eyestrain risk)

Audio on YouTube

Lyrics on AZlyrics

10."Bones"

Li Shimin is making a lot of progress towards the ability to have healthy relationships! That said:

You are my god You are my soul You're my savior In a devil's world And I can't exist without you I can't exist without you You are my drug My miracle You are my cure In this infected world And I can't do this without you I'm dying here without you

Audio on YouTube

Lyrics on AZlyrics

11."Natural Born Sinner"

I actually had never listened to this song before making this joke playlist and not only is it a good fit it's one of my favorite songs now. Cw: homophobic hellfire Christianity

This is my song My red crusade What will I say? What will I do? Maybe it's fear that leads your rage Maybe you're me and I am you So go ahead and point your finger Tell me who to love is it him or her? When will you see this is who I am?

Audio on YouTube

Full Lyrics on AZlyrics

and I'm gonna skip the last two tracks because this is long enough and they don't really do much for me musically anyway

so I'm working on an Actual playlist for Iron Widow (I like making playlists) and it has a nice variety of artists (three-and-counting metal bands with women doing growled vocals, plus Blood and Whiskey by the Mechanisms) BUT honestly the album Black Widow by In This Moment makes a perfectly serviceable Wu Zeitan playlist by itself
