“Bro, I’m so glad you’re awake,” Shang Qinghua says. “I’ve been hanging around for nearly two weeks now, seeing if you would wake up. I mean, I could sense you down there, but I had no idea when you were going to crawl your way out. From what I could tell, your body seemed pretty well-formed, but I don’t know when you died, whether it was before me and you had some issues settling in or if it was after me or—““Help me get the rest of the way out of this hole,” Shen Qingqiu says. He’s going to break into a cold sweat soon if Shang Qinghua doesn’t stop implying that he doesn’t know what happened either.or: Both Shang Qinghua and Shen Qingqiu die and wake up in their Sun and Moon Dew Mushroom bodies, without any clue as to who, what, when, where, why, or how this happened. Predictably, shenanigans ensue.
