Chapter 314 The Exile

The silver sphere floated on the desk. He opened his system storage and poured out all the objects inside.

The sacrificial offerings this time were mostly gold and silver jewellery, in addition to which there were dozens of sea pearls of various sizes.

Silver Ball placed all these things on the table and wiped away the small nick that had appeared on his body at some point in time.

"Don't bring back the trash you pick up outside." Zhi Lan had already laid down on the bed, ready to rest. He listened to the heavy sound of gold and silver hitting the desk, tilted his head and showed some annoyance, "I don't like it."

[There are sea pearls in here. If you grind them up and drink them with herbs, it will be good for your body.]

"Then I don't want their things either." Zhi Lan huddled into the quilt. His long and heavy tail couldn't find a place to stay, so it hung down and dragged on the floor. "I'm fine like this. This is how I am."

The silver ball looked at him silently from above. He didn't know what he was thinking. Soon he went to the closet and got a blanket to cover Zhi Lan's tail.

【Be careful not to catch a cold on your tail. 】

Zhilan Heiwei moved under the blanket. He turned over and covered most of his face with the blanket. "Then come over and hug me. You are warm and can keep me warm."

Silver Ball snorted.

[Do you have any shame? ]

Zhi Lan's expression remained unchanged. He huddled at the edge of the bed, two palm-sized distances away from the wall beside him: "Is it shameless to want to sleep with you?"

【What else? 】

"You are really bad at talking. I just like you." Zhi Lan's voice was light and empty. He coughed and lifted the quilt. "Will you come in?"

Silver Ball snorted again.

[You always have so many rude requests, it's annoying. ]

After he finished speaking, he crawled into the quilt and lay on Zhi Lan's chest with ease.

Zhi Lan was only wearing a thin shirt, and when the temperature dropped, he often felt cold all night. The silver ball wrapped Zhi Lan with its own energy, and quietly dispelled the coldness from his body.

Xi Lan felt the warm currents climbing up his body. He narrowed his eyes and pressed his cheek against the system surface of the silver ball.

"Where did you go today? I haven't seen you for a long time. I missed you."

The silver ball moved unnaturally.

I was only gone for two hours.

"I miss you too." As Zhi Lan spoke, his breath fell on Silver Ball. He then asked, "Where did you go?"

Yinqiu looked up at Zhilan. Zhilan's chin was white and pointed, and he had lost a lot of weight during this period of time.

[I have other tasks to attend to. I need to go out to work.]

He was a little confused.

"Can't tell me about my job?"

【……cannot.】

"Well, actually I don't really want to know." Zhi Lan touched the silver ball's head. It still felt soft to the touch, not at all as mechanically hard as Yu Zhuo said.

"But you must remember to come back and see me soon. I have been feeling unwell lately..."

The silver ball was silent.

[You know you are not in good health, but you still don’t take medicine? 】

"The medicine is not as useful as you." Zhi Lan said, "If you watch me, I will take it obediently."

【……】

Yinqiu remained silent. Every time Zhi Lan hugged him, he would hold his arms tightly, and would relax a little after a few minutes, as if to give Yinqiu a chance to catch his breath.

But he is a system, he doesn't need to breathe.

[Zhi Lan, have you ever thought about finding someone to accompany you? ]

Zhi Lan closed his eyes: "Aren't you accompanying me?"

[People, I mean people. They are also dragons like you.]

【You and I are not of the same species. 】

"Well, so?" Zhi Lan asked nonchalantly, "Are you going to leave me?"

[I will leave eventually. When the time comes, I will go to the next world.]

"Find a new host?"

[…Ordinarily, that’s the way it should be.]

"Ha." The smile on Zhi Lan's face faded. He opened his eyes and blinked twice meaninglessly. "Okay, I'll find another one. It's no big deal."

There was no sound after he finished speaking. Silver Ball could feel the unsteady breathing above him. He was silent for a long time before he continued speaking.

【What are you looking for? I can help you locate and search quickly. 】

"Thank you so much." Zhi Lan was so angry that he laughed. He was silent for a while and then said, "Okay, since you asked me, I will tell you. After all, before I was blind, I did see many handsome dragon boys."

【……】

Xi Lan let go of the silver ball, sat up against the wall, and described himself: "I like white hair, preferably with curly hair, soft and comfortable to touch. I hope his eyes are like mine, pure gold. I can't see but he must be able to see, so that he can tell me a lot about the scenery outside..."

The silver ball floated in the sky, and he listened to Zhi Lan's description in silence.

Zhi Lan is the only purebred black dragon left in this dragon world.

From ancient times to the present, the dragon race has been born and multiplied for thousands of generations. But after reaching its peak, its status began to decline sharply and slowly fell into decline.

The real dragons have died due to various natural disasters and misfortunes, and the ones who dominate the world now are all hybrid dragons that were created by the combination of dragons and other species many years ago - but they no longer have the ability to swallow clouds and spit mist like real dragons.

The dragon race is in decline, and this world centered on the dragon race is also in decline.

When the last pure-blooded dragon dies, the world's energy will be exhausted and completely split apart.

Unfortunately, the people living in this world did not understand the seriousness of the situation. They regarded Zhi Lan as a deformed fetus that had not fully evolved, abandoned him, and drove him to live in the castle again.

This isolated island is uninhabited and filled with wild beasts and ferocious birds. Zhi Lan was forced to live here when he was less than ten years old. He was weak and his underdeveloped body was torn in half by wild beasts in the forest. Later, he was infected by a virus and became blind.

During the time when he was dying, the dragon world was shaking continuously. The ground cracked and magma gushed out. The storm overturned the trees and crushed the high-rise buildings.

Those people got the news from somewhere and learned about Zhi Lan's bloodline. After that, they studied the origin of the storm and soon located the ancient castle deep in the mountains.

These misfortunes all seem to be related to Zhi Lan.

In order to calm these sudden storms, the people outside the castle did something unusual: they confined Xilan to this area and offered sacrifices to him on fixed dates, as if to atone for their sins.

Zhi Lan's desire to survive had not yet been completely lost. He was unconscious in the jungle for three or four days and then crawled out on his own.

Miraculously he survived.

Soon after that, the disaster that had swept across the world slowly receded, and things gradually returned to their former peace.

People outside were shocked when they saw this. They built a huge dragon god statue for Zhi Lan and placed it in the middle of the sea, hoping that it would protect thousands of lives.

After Zhi Lan left the jungle alive, he has been living in the castle. He is totally unmoved and just stays in the castle day after day without moving.

There are layers of high walls under the dragon god statue. They seem to respect Zhi Lan, but they are also on guard against him, confining him to this abandoned area.

In a euphemistic way, they honor him as a god.

"Why aren't you talking?" Zhi Lan stretched his hand up into the air. He didn't hear any sound and thought the silver ball had suddenly left again.

The silver ball moved and touched Zhi Lan's fingertips.

【I am here.】

His tone was rather ambiguous after he finished speaking.

[Are you serious about the dragon race you described? ]

Zhi Lan tilted his head: "Of course, why would I lie to you?"

Silver Ball said nothing more.

Since the eyes can't see, of course it doesn't matter, but the silver ball can see everything.

Zhi Lan just described a lot of character features, white hair, golden pupils, long legs, soft hair...

Isn’t he the pretty boy that Zhi Lan just picked up?
