CHAPTER 136 (2/2)

Xie 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.”

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

“I heard from the chief.”

The 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.”

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

He suddenly said, “Come with me.”

Azure 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.”

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

Azure 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.

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

Azure Dragon questioned, “Can you see anything?”

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

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

Xie 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.

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

Xie Xi instantly understood.

“I’m just a rose flower…”

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

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

“You have the ability of the flower god.”

“Do you know the flower god?”

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

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

Azure 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.”

Xie Xi didn’t say anything.

Azure 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.”

“You are the best rose under the sun.”

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

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

Xie 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.

Perhaps the answer was in the god’s wisdom.

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

“Of course.”

Xie 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.

Xie Xi reached out and…

Azure Dragon pulled him away.

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

Azure 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.

“Hmm?”

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

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

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

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

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

Xie 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?

If 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?

Everything represented the past and future.

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

It 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.

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

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

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

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

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

It was getting along forever.

Of course…

He 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!

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

Xie Xi, “…”

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