Black Water Xuan & Hua Cheng such a funny and underutilized dynamic. They set Black Water up as the only ghost who may rival Hua Cheng in power and who Hua Cheng has to watch himself around, only for it to turn out Hua Cheng has Xuan at his beck and call same as anyone else. Like Xuan "owes him money" and turns out that means Hua Cheng is allowed to stage the world-changing epic final battle to upend the heavens in his front yard all because his front yard bites. And Xuan just has to fucking take it. Same way he later has to accept going on an errand run for a guy he hates so much he turned into a ghost over it.
