nWonderful Painting of the Mountains and Seas 16

nAzure Dragon spoke correctly and every word contained true knowledge.

nSince it was to save a life, if the person was fine then he should clearly explain it and save the person from misunderstanding.

nThis logic was clear and impossible to refute.

nXie Xi was speechless.

nHe wasn’t smart when he should be smart and was smart when he shouldn’t be smart! Xie Xi had liver pain.

nAzure Dragon saw that Xie Xi didn’t say anything and his eyes darkened.

nXie Xi was sensitive and instantly caught the signal. He just managed to coax the dragon and would cry if this was reversed!

n“Okay,” Xie Xi agreed. “It should be made clear.”

nAzure Dragon’s expression relaxed. “It shouldn’t be delayed. Let’s go now.”

nXie Xi, “!” Why so anxious?

nAzure Dragon asked, “What’s wrong?”

nXie Xi hurriedly answered, “I will go to Vermilion Bird Palace by myself.”

n“I will accompany you so I can make it clear.”

nOld Four was very difficult to fool! It was fortunate that Jiang Xie brought the humanoid hanger on ‘Jiang Xie’ with him to be used here.

nXie Xi replied, “Yes, let’s go together and say it face to face. I believe he will be able to understand.”

n“Then let’s go now.”

n“Why so urgent?”

nThe dragon’s eyes sunk again. Xie Xi told him, “How can I feel assured going anywhere with you like this?”

nAzure Dragon thought about his pain and took a deep breath, releasing it and taking another deep breath…

nRegardless of whether he was releasing or taking a breath, he was thinking about Xie Xi’s words. Xie Xi couldn’t bear to scold him and had to coax him. “In any case, take a break and don’t worry about this…”

nAzure Dragon held his hand, his quiet voice containing a distressed tremor. “…Go and tell him clearly, okay?”

nXie Xi’s chest was stabbed and he couldn’t help feeling angry. Why bother… why worry himself like this and why hold onto a person who betrayed and deceived him?

nXie Xi told him, “Vermilion Bird is currently unconscious right now. What can we say to him?”

nAzure Dragon was stunned.

n“Okay.” Xie Xi suggested softly. “Once the day is bright, how about we go to Vermilion Bird Palace together.”

nAzure Dragon was finally persuaded. “We will go at daybreak.”

nXie Xi nodded. “Yes.”

nAzure Dragon released some of his worries. Azure Dragon’s sleeping quarters were partitioned with a screen. They were in the room while people were guarding outside.

nIt couldn’t be helped. Azure Dragon’s physical condition was so poor that they couldn’t leave him alone with Xie Xi.

nXie Xi wasn’t in a hurry to see Jiang Xie. The most important thing was to make Azure Dragon emotionally stable.

nAzure Dragon questioned, “Have you eaten dinner yet?”

nXie Xi shook his head. “I’m not hungry.”

n“How can you not eat? Your hungry body…”

nXie Xi interrupted his words. “You feel bad just because I’m hungry. You are suffering from broken bones all day so how can I not feel bad?”

nAzure Dragon froze and flames seemed to burn in his indigo eyes.

nXie Xi told him, “I am already very upset that you gave up your cultivation. If you suffer all day long, how can I bear it…”

nAzure Dragon frowned. “Don’t say that.”

nXie Xi increased the sugar to the peak. “You like me and I like you as well. Thanks to our different statuses, you paid to be with me. We will face it together hand in hand rather than one person infinitely accommodating the other.”

nAzure Dragon’s heart almost jumped out and a thousand words rushed to his lips, although none were spoken. He felt that anything he said would be inferior to Xie Xi’s words. Every word settled in his heart and was deeply rooted.

nXie Xi whispered, “Can you tell me about your injuries?”

nAzure Dragon paused.

nXie Xi told him, “I might not be able to help but I want to know.”

nAzure Dragon’s thin lips slowly moved. “Don’t listen to their nonsense. It isn’t so exaggerated.”

n“Then how is it in the end? What happened?”

nAzure Dragon was unable to dissuade him and spoke evasively.

nXie Xi’s heart bled at the words. “Your scales are falling off.”

n“As long as there is no interference, surviving for 300 years won’t be a problem.”

nIt was necessary to bear the pain for 300 years! Xie Xi’s expression was serious. “Can I look at your body?”

nAzure Dragon, “…”

nXie Xi insisted. “I want to see.”

n“I will scare you.”

n“Do I only like you for your skin?”

nAzure Dragon was startled and his eyelids drooped in an attempt to cover up his stirring emotions.

nHe whispered, “It isn’t convenient here. Wait… until we go to an empty place.”

nThis was true. Azure Dragon’s body was so big that if he hastily turned, this small room would probably become a mess.

nXie Xi wanted to see his body because of the Repair technique. “Did you collect the scales that fell off?”

nThe scales were treasures so they were naturally collected. Azure Dragon nodded.

nXie Xi relaxed. “I will try to fix it.”

nAzure Dragon was startled. Xie Xi explained about what he did with the rose family. “I don’t know if I can repair your scales but I would like to try…”

nAzure Dragon wondered, “You said you repaired the injured roses… is it repair?”

nXie Xi remembered the old rose had said the flower god had repaired the scales of the dragon and nodded. “Yes, it was repairing. There had to be the petals or it wouldn’t work.”

nAzure Dragon stared at him with complicated eyes. “Repairing is the ability of the flower god.”

n“I heard from the chief.”

nThe dragon asked, “Since when did you obtain this ability?” Xie Xi replied, “I don’t know clearly. After returning to Rose Mountain, I was unconscious for a while and then found myself able to fix some things.”

nAzure Dragon frowned and whispered, “Why do you have the power of the flower god?”

nHe suddenly said, “Come with me.”

nAzure Dragon got up too fast and seemed to pull at his wounds. Xie Xi quickly helped him and Azure Dragon took his hand. “It doesn’t matter.”

nXie Xi was anxious and wanted to repair the scales right away.

nAzure Dragon took him to the back room where Xie Xi rested previously. The outside followers also followed and still waited outside the screen. They were confidants of Azure Dragon and Azure Dragon didn’t avoid them.

nXie Xi once again saw the painting of the dragon’s lonely back.

nAzure Dragon questioned, “Can you see anything?”

nXie Xi was surprised. “Can’t you see it?”

nAzure Dragon’s pupils shrank. “I can only see blank paper.”

nXie Xi blinked and sounded very certain. “This is a painting of the flower festival. In the painting, you are slowly walking away.” He didn’t describe the scene of the dragon gradually entering darkness.

nAzure Dragon glanced at the painting and explained, “This is a part of the god’s wisdom that only the flower god can read.”

nXie Xi instantly understood.

n“I’m just a rose flower…”

nAzure Dragon shook his head. “Nobody knows what the body of the flower god is.”

nXie Xi spoke again, “I don’t have any memories of being a god.”

n“You have the ability of the flower god.”

n“Do you know the flower god?”

nAzure Dragon replied, “I was injured during the promotion to a sage and he treated me.”

nXie Xi glanced at him. “Do you want me to be the flower god?”

nAzure Dragon was stunned for a moment and then spoke when he recovered. “No, it doesn’t matter who you are. I just gave you the name of the flower god in the hope that you can live an extra 100 years.”

nXie Xi didn’t say anything.

nAzure Dragon was in a better mood and he repeated Xie Xi’s words. “Do I only like your skin?” Xie Xi glanced at him and pretended to be sour. “I’m just a rose flower inside.”

n“You are the best rose under the sun.”

nXie Xi’s heart was sweet but he still said, “I’m not as good as the flower god.”

nAzure Dragon hugged him. “You are wonderful and no one can match you.”

nXie Xi was just pretending to be jealous. He thought that in this quasi-world setting, he was likely the flower god. As for why he was reduced to a small rose, it was estimated that there was a reason.

nPerhaps the answer was in the god’s wisdom.

nXie Xi wondered, “Can I look at this god’s wisdom again?”

n“Of course.”

nXie Xi walked over and placed a hand on it. This time, there was no special reaction. He didn’t enter the painting but he found that something was flashing in the darkness of the painting.

nXie Xi reached out and…

nAzure Dragon pulled him away.

nXie Xi’s senses returned. “What’s wrong?”

nAzure Dragon’s eyebrows furrowed. “You just…” He couldn’t describe the feeling. It was as if Xie Xi was far away from him and couldn’t be touched.

n“Hmm?”

nAzure Dragon shook his head. “It’s nothing. I’m just tired all of a sudden. We should go back.”

nXie Xi stared into his eyes and replied, “Okay.”

nThey returned to the front room with indescribable thoughts in their head.

nOnly the flower god could understand the god’s wisdom and the god’s wisdom recorded everything in the mountains and seas.

nXie Xi understood that what he saw was only a part of his encounter with Azure Dragon. It was very one-sided and short.

nXie Xi stared a the dark paint, thoughts flashing in his mind. Did all this already happen and was recorded by the god’s wisdom, or were things recorded in the god’s wisdom bound to happen?

nIf it was just a recording then it was fine. Then again, if it was only a record, how could the god’s wisdom document everything?

nEverything represented the past and future.

nThe god’s wisdom that could record the future gave Xie Xi a strong feeling of discomfort.

nIt might’ve been reduced to a ‘love game’ once he entered Jiang Xie’s world but it was undeniable that a high-order quasi-world had its own independent core.

nIf Xie Xi hadn’t entered the quasi-world, what would the clearance mission be like?

nXie Xi couldn’t help thinking about it, not just because he needed to clear the world. He also wanted to understand Jiang Xie.

nThe quasi-worlds that Jiang Xie designed had his countless efforts and emotions poured into them.

nJust like reading a book written by the author, Xie Xi wanted to go between the lines and see the Jiang Xie hidden in them.

nTo love someone wasn’t a one-sided effort but a mutual understanding and tolerance.

nIt was getting along forever.

nOf course…

nHe fell in love with a wild horse and there were all pits between the lines! He gingerly walked a bumpy road and wanted to tear this book apart!

nAt dawn, Azure Dragon was full of energy. “Let’s go to Vermilion Bird Palace.”

nXie Xi, “…”

nOkay, it was time to stop hiding and make the two people feel at ease.
