Just some things about having a martial god as a husband, and things that makes Hua Cheng feral:
Xie Lian likes to see Hua Cheng in action, and there's just something in Xie Lian that makes him swoon when he watches Hua Cheng fight.
Cue Xie Lian having friendly duels with Hua Cheng
E-Ming trying to throw the duel because he wants to fight with Xie Lian.
The one time Xie Lian wielded E-Ming, they absolutely demolished Hua Cheng because E-Ming got too excited. (and oh shit, Hua Cheng thinks, gege looks good when he wields his scimitar)
Imagine Xie Lian practicing how to use Ruoye and E-Ming together: He becomes even more agile and deadly. Even if his opponent tries to back away for some breathing room, Xie Lian can bridge the gap by hurling E-Ming with Ruoye attached at the hilt.
Xie Lian gets really excited talking about weapons, and has Hua Cheng try some new weapons and fighting styles
Hua Cheng gets a bit giddy whenever Xie Lian compliments him during their lessons
Imagine: Xie Lian with a bow and arrow (indulge me further: imagine Xie Lian takes off his robe because he doesn't want the sleeves to get in the way. Ruoye is wrapped around his torso to cover him up. See this fanart from irisevans) Hua Cheng is qi deviating unwell in the background because THEM BACK MUSCLES FLEXING WHEN GEGE DRAWS BACK THE STRING.
Xie Lian having a friendly duel with Quan Yizhen: hand-to-hand combat. Both parties are having the time of their lives. Hua Cheng watches their duel and swoons at just how graceful and talented his husband is.
Hua Cheng watching Xie Lian unravel the bun in his hair and ties it up in a ponytail whenever he wants to lock-tf-in.
Xie Lian versus Fen Xing and Mu Qing: Xia Lian catching an arrow and a great sword at the same time, bare-handed. He gives a sweet smile before taking them down. Cue San Lang in the background, having the time of his life, recording it all for blackmail material.
