Rouye can’t believe that Xie Lian hasn’t figured out that Hua Cheng is Wu Ming. They both have the same vibe.
Ruoye has tried everything! A dance, spelling out Wu Ming in front of Xie Lian, writing Hua Cheng = Wu Ming out on paper. . . But nothing gets through!
Ruoye is running out of ideas!
But finally the best idea which totally didn’t come from E-Ming.
— (flashback time)
Ruoye had just finished telling E-Ming about all the things that happened before E-Ming was formed. And now they were complaining about Xie Lian’s lack of knowing that Wu Ming is Hua Cheng!
“What if you magically turn into a human or something? And then tell Xie Lian that way?” Buzzed E-Ming to Ruoye.
“That’s a good idea!!” flopped Ruoye, “but how would we do that?”
“We? Since when am I joining this. I will end up being hit for no reason” E-Ming said back.
“Simple! We get cursed to become humans!” replied Ruoye.
“And who will be willing to curse us then?” E-Ming asked.
“I know just who!” Ruoye said enthusiastically.
. . .
“No.” The fishy ghost said. “ I am not feeling to have my debt get worse because I cursed you guys. And why can I understand ya’ll when the rest can’t?”
E-Ming and Ruoye shared a look (or as much as two weapons can) and said “None ya business. Now do the spell!! Or we will make your life worse.”
He Xuan raised an eyebrow. “I am not doing that.”
“It is either that or you tell them that Hua Cheng is Wu Ming for us. And Hua Cheng would be more likely to kill you for bringing up Wu Ming than cursing us.”
“Fine. But I better get food for this.” sighed He Xuan who was regretting his life choices. Maybe he shouldn’t kill Shi Wudu just so he can tell Shi Qingxuan about this, without having to worry about losing one of the people who he Totally Doesn’t care about.
“Yippie!” Said the silk ribbon while the saber just looked happy(?). He Xuan snapped his fingers, turned round in a circle and then pointed at the weapons.
And then a cloud of smoke appeared, and then left. leaving two human looking weapons. He Xuan observed that Ruoye was basically a lookalike to Xie Lian but there was something about Ruoye that said not totally. E-Ming on the other hand, was a darker, smaller version of Hua Cheng.
E-Ming was wearing mostly black with a few small splashes of red. They also only had one eye like Hua Cheng did but red and on the other side. The Saber was also rocking a ponytail. Why? He Xuan has no idea.

Ruoye was very proud of themselves. They now had a cool new form which shall help them get Xie Lian and Hua Cheng together! Hahahahaha!!!
E-Ming is vaguely concerned about Ruoye. They also had to deal with never ending pinning from Hua Cheng but hadn’t gone crazy like Route has. Maybe it has to deal with how Ruoye was made? But E-Ming was also formed during a moment of craziness. Hmmm. . .
“What’s the plan now?” E-Ming asked. Speaking out loud is different but it isn’t the worst.
“We clearly should make a giant banner!” Ruoye shouted. Maybe the craziness has messed with Ruoye’s brain too much, thought E-Ming privately.
“What the fuck” said Hua Cheng from a doorway.
Ruoye and E-Ming then stood like deers in headlights as Xie Lian showed up as well.
“Ah . . .” Said the 1# God in the entire world.
“To set the record straight, I had nothing to do with this.” He Xuan informed. He has been taken captive by E-Ming because they thought it would be funny. And a good distraction if things went south or something.
“Shut up fish.” replied Hua Cheng and E-Ming because bullying He Xuan is never not funny.
Ruoye took a deep breath and then yelled “Hua Cheng is Wu Ming!” Ruoye then picked up E-Ming and He Xuan and jumped out a window.
Hua Cheng and Xie Lian stood in shock. Each having very different reactions to what Ruoye said.
Hua Cheng - “How the fuck does the knock off version of Gege know THAT!?!”
Xie Lian - “Oh my gosh, Wu Ming lived?? And was that a human version of Ruoye and E-Ming? But Wu Ming??? What???”
