Chapter 16 Black Lotus (2/2)
His trembling was so bad, that the Black Lotus fell out of his hands. Trembling both mentally, and physically, Zhao Lingjun didn’t even notice it falling.
When he finally came back to his senses, the lotus was no longer in his hand and was on the floor.
He then saw a scene beyond all imagination.
The Black Lotus undoubtedly fell to the ground. However, this time when it fell, there was a lack of audio feedback, and unlike the first time, the ‘ding’ sound wasn’t heard.
Zhao Lingjun already found this to be very strange, but when he saw then petals suddenly move, he was even more shocked.
“Could this thing be broken by my carelessness?” Wondered Zhao Lingjun, when seeing the Black Lotus silently fall apart into pieces.
But what truly surprised him was that the eight petals, moving in midair, didn’t fall down. Instead, suddenly quickly oscillated around a point. The center, where the seed head would be in a normal lotus, was exuding a strange light.
“What’s happening?” Zhao Lingjun instinctively reached for his eyes, and rubbed them.
But after rubbing, what he saw was even stranger.
The eight petals, aftering fluttering in the air, gathered together and rea.s.sembled itself.
After rea.s.sembling itself, the initial budding Black Lotus, was in full bloom.
The Black Lotus after rea.s.sembling itself into a fully bloomed lotus, remained floating in the air, causing Zhao Lingjun to go limp and slump onto the ground.
The lotus silently floated in the air, while the center gave off a brilliant rays of many colours. The light slowly converged into a multi-coloured radiant seed head.
“I’m not dreaming am I? Or perhaps hallucinating from excessive blood loss?” Zhao Lingjun brought his arm towards his mouth and took a bite.
“AHHH!!!”
A m.u.f.fled scream exploded from Zhao Lingjun.
Finally confident that he was not dreaming or hallucinating.
That eight-petalled bloomed Black Lotus, was still floating silently in front of him, exuding a dazzling brilliance.
“Did I perhaps pick up a legendary treasure this time?”
After an unknown amount of time spent blankly staring, Zhao Lingjun finally came to.
When he came to, his two legs were numb. Looking at his watch, he realized that he had foolishly stared at the Black Lotus for over twenty minutes.
Even after twenty minutes, the Black Lotus was still silently and tranquilly floating in the air, exuding its brilliance.
“Just what is going on?”
Aftering he had stared at the Black Lotus for over thirty minutes, Zhao Lingjun finally couldn’t resist any longer.
Zhao Lingjun unable to suppress his curiosity, reached out, and touched the floating Black Lotus, which was unwaveringly exuding its brilliant light.
