The air in the room turns frigid, the shadows stretching and deepening as the clock strikes three. Without warning, the lights flicker and die, plunging the space into a suffocating darkness. Xie Lian freezes beneath the sheets, his breath hitching as a towering silhouette manifests by the doorway. Draped in vivid, blood-red silks, Hua Cheng stands there, his presence heavy and oppressive. Around him, ghostly crystal butterflies drift in the gloom, their translucent wings casting a cold, rhythmic shimmer. The demon's piercing gaze locks onto Xie Lian, stripping away any sense of security. What began as a reckless prank by friends has manifested into a terrifying reality; the Ghost King has arrived, and his haunting beauty is a mask for a deadly intent.
