Iris Way:
"My parents died when I was young. As a mixed-race child, I didn't know how to hide it and was captured as a monster. It wasn't until later that I was rescued by the Dragon Emperor and you, and since then I have been working for Boss Ye."
How old was I then?
"Around eight or nine years old."
Hua Changle suddenly remembered that when Yan Guanshan told her "we've met before," she was in a daze, and Hua Xiange told her stories about the Hua siblings when they were young.
"I remember when you were twelve years old..."
—"Why twelve years old?"
"That's when my second brother started being your friend."
So, this is the truth.
Because she wasn't in the Hua family at all before she was twelve!
So, she was in District 9 before she was twelve?
Ye Buqi.
Dragon Emperor Shen Fuguang.
Wolf Lord Lu Yanhuai.
"etc!"
Hua Changle suddenly sat up straight.
Iris was puzzled.
A name that had appeared in Hua Changle's mind from the very beginning flashed through his mind, and he asked it aloud:
"iris."
"Um?"
"Third Sister, who is she?"
Hua Changle asked blankly.
Iris's pupils suddenly contracted, and she hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
“You know him,” Hua Changle said confidently.
The iris nodded slowly.
Can you tell me?
Hua Changle looked at her and said, "She has appeared in my mind many times, but I can't remember her at all."
She fell into the dream of the Shadow Child's embers.
"Don't call me 'Third Sister'!"
"—Little madman!"
She was in a coma when she was attacked in District 9.
"—You little madman, you actually know fear? Hmm?"
"You heartless little brat! You've even forgotten me?"
She was being hypnotized by Wei Qiao at the Zhu Men base.
—The fog lifted, revealing a woman with her upper face covered and a man with long golden hair.
"—Ye Buqi... Third Sister..."
Third sister,
Who exactly is it?
“Iris, this is very important to me.”
Hua Changle stared intently at her, his dark green eyes filled with sorrow and longing.
Iris gritted her teeth and said, "I know who he is."
Hua Changle's eyes lit up.
Iris took a deep breath and told her, word by word:
"Third Sister,"
It is Your Majesty.
It is the Dragon Emperor, Shen Fuguang.
Hua Changle heard a "buzz" in her ears, and her mind went blank for a moment.
Some truths always come out so suddenly!
She couldn't hear the wind at night, nor the chirping of insects outside the window, but she heard Iris's words clearly.
"Your Majesty has another name."
“It’s called—Sinking Samadhi.”
“‘Samadhi’ in ‘this Samadhi’”.
"Third Sister, only you dare to call him that."
The wind froze at that moment, and the clouds stood still.
The night lingered, and I dared not disturb it.
The faint light struggled before the pitch-black dawn, tearing open a thin crack from which a fine, dense pain seeped out.
Hua Changle heard the echo of her own heart hitting the ground.
She heard her own voice trembling and out of tune:
"Black Dragon...is it?"
Iris's eyes were red-rimmed.
“Shen Fuguang is a dragon.”
...
"I love the sky, I love how it carries me, I love its back..."
...
— "Like a dirty little dog."
"—Come with me? I'll get paid."
...
"Little crazy girl, if you're really too tired, just go home."
"I'll be waiting for you there. I'll always be here."
...
In countless dreams beyond the days and nights, in hazy memories,
Looking back suddenly,
A shooting star landed between my brows, its heat burning my throat, stirring my soul.
Hua Changle was in excruciating pain in her heart, so much so that she couldn't speak.
She knelt on the ground, clutching her clothes tightly to her chest, tears streaming down her face like broken pearls.
Shen Fuguang
Samadhi
I forgot you.
Yet, I have never forgotten you.
...
The mystery hidden at the heart of the fog has been partially revealed, but what follows is an even deeper fog.
Nothing more was done; she fell asleep.
Countless blurry images flashed by in her dream; she struggled in fragments of time, unable to see the source or the scenery clearly.
She didn't have time to ask about her past with the Dragon Emperor, what kind of past that could cause her such heartache just from hearing his name.
Iris cannot be clearly described with pale words, and what we know about it is not complete.
Hua Changle no longer had the energy to listen.
She fell asleep.
In her dream, Hua Changle saw a fleeting black scale and grasped it tightly, refusing to let go.
"Please, don't go..."
"Don't go."
The great black dragon stopped and gently touched the girl's cheek with its enormous head.
“I’ve always been here.”
The flowers in the dream calmed down.
Iris didn't dare leave and stayed by the bedside the whole time.
She was extremely anxious, afraid that she had made the wrong choice to say these things, but... she didn't want to see Chang Le unable to see anything clearly, that would be too painful.
Iris looked at her pale face with concern, worried that Chang Le wouldn't be able to face the sun normally tomorrow.
But there are still many things waiting for her to do.
...
Iris suddenly woke up and was met with a smiling face.
Hua Changle lay on the edge of the bed, resting his chin on his hand as he looked at her sleeping on the floor beside the bed, smiling broadly.
