Casper is clearly tired and drifting off, and Shang Beida still treasures that his boyfriend trusts him enough to sleep in his presence, when he’s so wary in general. He keeps combing his fingers through his hair, holding him close, his heart full.
“The disruption to the ritual didn’t seem to cause any problems, though Mu Qing was really annoyed about his robes being messed up, and Xie Lian’s best friend Feng Xin needled him about having to take care of the robes—because all three of them were cultivators, but Mu Qing only was because Xie Lian had insisted he get the opportunity, and he didn’t get to stop being a servant even when they were at the temple training. But it all seemed to be fine, and the heavens certainly didn’t seem to be angry at Xie Lian about it, because some time later he was raised to the heavens himself as a god. And his nation Xianle was so proud of their prince god, they erected tons of temples to him, the flower crowned martial god.”
It’s just as well if Casper sleeps before he can get any farther than this, because it’s about to get depressing and he maybe should have picked a different story.
