Chapter 263: White Orchid Rain Festival (Forty-six)
Although Nan Huan had completely transformed into a giant dragon and was moving on one side of the barrier as a dragon god, in reality it seemed as if his entire soul was restrained in the dragon's body. He could feel the other party's most real feelings and delicate emotions, but could not control any of its actions.
Nan Huan was a little worried because the voice of the Dragon God on the other side of the barrier was too familiar and distressing. But the next second, he saw that the Dragon God, who had briefly lost his attention to him because of the appearance of the white orchid, suddenly seemed to sense something and rushed towards the barrier desperately, as if trying to stop his actions.
The moment it moved, everything on the other side of the barrier seemed to be still. The white jasmine swaying in the wind stopped in a subtle arc because of the breeze, as if it had lost its vitality in an instant.
The invisible barrier did not make any sound, but through the dragon's horns that deformed in an instant, one could still see how strong the opponent's strength and determination were.
But on this side, just separated by a barrier, the giant dragon that wrapped Nanhuan didn't react at all. The only one who paid attention to it was Bai Lanhua, who was frightened by the sudden human voice.
Nan Huan could sense that the dragon was getting a little impatient, as if it was annoyed that the sound had disturbed their peace, and also as if it was worried that Bai Lanhua was frightened, so he lowered his head and whispered twice, first to comfort Bai Lanhua, who was a little curious and wanted to stick her head out to find the source of the sound, but was a little afraid of the unknown.
With the comfort of the Dragon God, the flower seemed to muster up some courage, and curiosity overcame fear. After all, the world was too quiet, and it was the first time it heard such a sound other than the sounds of nature.
"God, if you chose to give birth to me, please give me food and sunshine, and don't let me disappear in this darkness..."
Perhaps they finally realized that negative complaints would not bring them what they wanted, so praying humans finally began to pray devoutly. The sounds of prayers and kneeling came from far away and began to spread across the vast land.
"Hmm," the white orchid swayed curiously in the wind, as if it wanted to use the power of the breeze to allow itself to see farther and hear more clearly. Although the other party could not speak, Nan Huan did hear its voice in the dragon's heart after it lightly touched the dragon's nose, "What is this sound? Who is he? What are sunlight and food?"
It is like a newborn baby, ignorant of the world, with things it urgently needs to know and a natural curiosity about everything.
The Dragon God did not stifle its curiosity. He touched the other's branch in the same posture and looked at the tiny existence in the distance. "Maybe it's another life born in this world. Food and sunlight may be what he needs to survive, just like the strength you draw from the soil."
The Dragon God gave an analogy, hoping that the little flower could understand it. Fortunately, its ability to understand was outstanding.
"Another life? Is it like me? Am I also a life born in this world? Is he white like me? Is he as beautiful as me?"
The dragon couldn't help laughing at the innocent understanding of the child, and uttered a soft chuckle from his throat, "No, it's different from you. No matter what kind of life is born in this world, it will never be the same as you. You are a unique existence."
Nanhuan can not only hear the sounds of their conversations, but also feel the gentle heart and affectionate eyes of the dragon when it speaks.
Although the white orchid did not understand what it meant to be unique, nor did it quite understand why others were different from itself, it seemed to understand that the dragon was praising it, and therefore seemed very happy. If its roots had not had to be buried in the soil, it would have already been flying and jumping in the wind.
"Then will he die without power, just like I can't get energy from the soil? Will I die like this one day?"
Bai Lanhua had a lot of questions, and soon she felt inexplicably melancholy when talking about death.
"No, you won't die."
The Dragon God avoided the other party's first question and answered the second one directly. His calm tone was full of confidence, which made people feel at ease.
"What about him? Won't he die too?"
White Lanhua seemed to care a lot about the voice coming from far away. It was not known whether it was because the voice of prayer was too pious, or because the desire to survive was too strong, but in any case, White Lanhua took it very seriously.
"Do you want him to be alive? Do you feel lonely because we are the only ones in this world?"
The dragon was not angry, but calmly asked for the opinion of the white orchid. At the same time, he felt that he seemed to have deprived it of the right to see a more colorful world.
"I don't know," Bai Lanhua seemed a little confused. She didn't know what she could decide, but at the same time, she also had an incomparable yearning for the world other than the one she was trapped in.
"But if he can get what he wants without dying, that's good too." White Orchid murmured, "And I want to see what the sun looks like? What does the world in the distance look like?"
It is different from others because it was born as a white orchid, but because it was born as a white orchid, it cannot follow the dragon to travel between heaven and earth. It is trapped here, while the other party is trapped here because of it. This seems very unfair to the dragon.
Thinking of this, the branches of the white orchid drooped a little listlessly, and gently touched the dragon's cheek, "Have you never thought about flying far away and seeing the world?"
The dragon shook his head, "No, I just want to stay where you are."
As if sensing White Orchid's loss, the giant dragon used its tail to wrap around the other's body, "Don't be so upset. Although I can't let you see the distant world with your own eyes, I can still let you see the sun and the different life forms in this world."
As the dragon's words reached White Orchid's body, the dragon's body emanated an intense golden light, illuminating the dim sky like the rising sun.
In an instant, it was as if the whole world had finally gotten rid of chaos, and a boundary was established between heaven and earth. The roar of dragons resounded throughout the earth, the entire ground began to shake violently, and the terrain began to change.
Nan Huan felt that she had experienced many copies and seen a lot of the market, but it was undeniable that everything in front of her still shocked her.
When the first ray of sunlight in the sky shines on the branches of the white jasmine, the whole world seems to have finally opened its sleeping eyes. Mountains rise from the ground, rivers come into being, trees begin to sprout, seeds begin to germinate, everything is about to begin, and the prayers from afar finally disappear in the birth of life because the wishes are fulfilled.
The white orchid was like a baby crying for the first time, with its long roots standing upright and looking at everything around it. In addition to the butterflies that accompanied it, other cute insects were soon born. But at the same time, many dangers were approaching. Because of the dragon, the white orchid knew that it was safe and was even more curious about the entire colorful world.
Only Nan Huan noticed that at the critical moment when all this was happening, the giant dragon on the other side of the barrier suddenly stopped hitting. It seemed to be watching everything, but was powerless, and finally dropped its tail in disappointment.
Nan Huan had a bad premonition. After all, although there was no foreshadowing of what was happening before his eyes, the reaction of the dragon on the other side of the barrier seemed to have confirmed the arrival of something.
All things awaken, the tide rises and falls, and the white jasmine happily enjoys the freshness of each day, and is also relieved that the dragon has never left. They are still accompanying each other as if heaven and earth have not yet been separated.
Until one day without any warning, the weather suddenly changed. The originally bright sunshine was blocked by dark clouds, and several thunders struck the sky in succession, indicating that all the beautiful things had come to an abrupt end.
Nan Huan could feel that, in fact, from the moment the first thunder struck, the giant dragon wrapped around him seemed to sense some kind of breath, and the entire dragon god tensed up.
While staring at the air with a pair of golden eyes, he used his entire dragon god to protect the white orchid in his arms and comforted her carefully.
This was the first thunderstorm that the white jasmine flower had experienced. Although it had rained in the past, it was not like today with lightning and thunder. Nor were the thunders like today's, all directed at the white jasmine flower.
"Who are you? What do you want?"
In order to protect the white orchid, the dragon did not dare to leave the ground easily. It could only hover on the ground, looking up at the sky and roaring as if questioning.
But unfortunately, the thunder in the sky was not like the white orchid, which could communicate with his mind, or that kind of existence that could dominate fate deliberately ignored it and only gave its own answer.
The thunder grew louder instead of slower, coming closer and closer, as if warning the dragon to let go of the white orchid, or else the next thunderbolt would fall on the dragon that was unwilling to dodge.
The white orchid might not understand what was going on, nor did it understand why the lightning had to get close to it, but it could read the warning. Even though it was held in the dragon's arms, it still wanted to break free from the dragon's protection. It also tried to use its vulnerable branches to push the dragon's tail, forcing it to fly away quickly and avoid this seemingly complex lightning.
The dragon was unwilling, so it just used its tail to hold the other in its arms again, and was very careful not to use too much force to damage its roots. When the white orchid shook it, it just used the tip of its tail to gently signal, "Be good, don't be afraid, I won't let it hurt you."
"You should leave soon. You can fly away by yourself. Those lightning bolts look dangerous."
Bai Lanhua was extremely anxious, but the disparity in strength was not even in a heavyweight class.
The next second, the thunder aimed at the white orchid was blocked by the dragon's long tail. The lightning penetrated the dragon's body, and it could not fight back. It just curled up its tail suddenly, then stretched it out quickly, sweeping away the bloodstains brought by the lightning in the distance, and the next second it embraced the white orchid in its arms again.
The wound caused by lightning was huge and terrifying, with blood and flesh all over the place and a burnt smell. The usually clean-loving White Orchid would never allow such a smell and scene to appear around her, but now she was eager to confirm the dragon's injuries, but the other party deliberately kept the injured part away from her reach.
Nan Huan was shocked and realized that this was not the end yet. At the same time, he felt that on the other side of the barrier, the Dragon God was moving again, and everything that was originally still began to move.
