Chapter 62 – Zhi Zhi (2/2)
From the period of the first Emperor to now, how many years had passed?
In the cold, lonely, and dark underground, how did this black dragon insist to suffer for so long?
“You want to talk to me, right?” Chen Chang Sheng asked.
The black dragon’s whisker floated up again and lightly touched his lip, like a dragonfly dip water.
“I just want to say, I don’t understand the meaning of those words.”
Chen Chang Sheng looked at him and said, “But, you can teach me.”
The black dragon’s eyes suddenly became extraordinarily bright, even more bright than the sum of the thousands of Nightly Pearl.
Chen Chang Sheng thought, unsurprisingly you could understand human language, then if you want to translate, I can learn the language of dragon race. He looked at the black dragon and continued, “I know that the language of dragon race was very hard, but I am very good at learning. As long as you have the patience, I can definitely learn it.”
Suddenly, the black dragon made a deep shout.
Chen Chang Sheng was dumbfounded.
The black dragon’s whisker rose without making any wind current and it pointed four times at the center of his eyebrows as fast as lightning and as light as dust.
Chen Chang Sheng frowned, thinking about the meaning.
The black dragon lightly pointed at the same place again for four times and simultaneously the dragon made a deep shout.
Chen Chang Sheng understood now.
In the previous sentence, he said four “I’s”
This is what the black dragon attempted to tell him.
“I?” Chen Chang Sheng pointed at himself and asked.
The dragon language was very complicated. Countless segments of one syllable could be rearranged into an infinite number of permutations. Different combinations were expressions of different meanings. If he wanted to fully learn it, it would be a very long process. He knew that the dragon’s roar had the meaning “I,” but definitely not just “I,” but…at least it had “I.”
Looking at Chen Chang Sheng’s action, the black dragon was first dazed and then suddenly, it began to roll!
Its huge body was constantly rolling in the underground dimension, forming a terrifying hurricane!
At the same time, a strange sound kept coming up from the black dragon’s mouth.
From approximately a thousand years ago to now, it had never been so happy before. It did not know what kind of roar it should use to celebrate.
Yet because of some reasons, it must suppressed its roar and its laugh. (In Chinese, both roar and laugh were pronounced Xiao, so author is making a pun here.)
“Zhi Zhi….ZhiZhi….ZhiZhi…”
It sounded like a mouse shouting. The noise was very funny.
Yet there was extreme happiness inside.
Chen Chang Sheng did not know what the black dragon did before to be imprisoned by the Great Zhou dynasty. Now he saw it feel happy simply because there was a human doing the simplest communication with it. Chen Chang Sheng felt touched, and pitied it greatly.
Not sure how much time had passed, but the black dragon finally stopped rolling, and calmed down.
It looked at Chen Chang Sheng and felt his honest sympathy. Its look gradually got kind.
Its whisker floated up again and paused in the air between his eyebrows.
It waited for Chen Chang Sheng to open his mouth again.
Chen Chang Sheng thought a bit and spoke something that the black dragon didn’t want to hear.
“I know you really want to speak to someone….but now I can’t do it. I have a very important thing that I need to leave right away.”
The black dragon’s look became cold again.
Chen Chang Sheng said seriously, “I promise you, as soon as I finish this thing, I will come back to find you, learn language with you, and talk to you.”
The black dragon’s look was still cold, and even somewhat doubtful.
As a noble Mighty Frost Dragon imprisoned by human for so many years, it would never forget what its father said before.
“If humans are trustworthy, then we should be the rulers of this world.”
