2735 Half Of Its Heart 2 (1/2)
Crystals were abundant in the sky, dropping toward them like a rainstorm of deadly needles. In just a few seconds, more and more needles started to get caught on the surface of the wizardry barrier, slowly causing the barrier to break. And, in the end, some needles were able to penetrate through and cut right into Yun Yanli's flesh.
Yun Yanli's body trembled slightly as he snorted in pain. Blood slowly traced down his back and dripped onto the Dragon Pearl in Di Hao's hand. His blood then continued to stain the Great White Dragon's scales.
The Great White Dragon was ready to swing them away from its head. However, the sudden smell of Yun Yanli's blood diverted its attention.
”Master!” Ming-Die could be heard calling out loud to Yun Yanli from afar when she saw him bleeding. Desperately, she came straight to him.
”Roar!” The Great White Dragon uttered another long howl before sweeping her away in a blinding flash of blue light, thus sending her across the air like a shooting star.
Shocked, Yun Yanli wanted to leave and find her but was stopped by Di Hao. ”Don't go!”
Yun Yanli hesitated a little. While he still had a hard time deciding whether to stay or go, the dragon's long howl instantly distracted him. There were some pauses in between like it was trying to talk.
Yun Yanli was never able to understand the language of the animals. But this time, he could magically understand the Flood Dragon. ”What is your relationship with the Emperor Immortal, Yun Lang?”
”He was my father,” Yun Yanli honestly answered, though still dumbstruck.
Yun Yanli's reply startled the Great White Dragon. After a pause, it took a turn in the air and headed to the ground. ”Come on down. I will fulfill a wish of yours.” It stopped by the hill, where they could finally stand and talk.
The sudden plot twist caught Yun Yanli in astonishment. On the contrary, Di Hao was not quite as surprised. He tugged on Yun Yanli's sleeves and said, ”Come on, let's get down from here.”
After a while, Yun Yanli found himself sitting by the rock, caught with a myriad of thoughts. His father had once saved the Great White Dragon's life. So, in order to repay its debt to the man, the Great White Dragon made a promise to Yun Lang that one day, it would grant a wish to him, or his children, and fulfill anything that was asked.
