Nightmares are too bitter, too suffocating, and too long.
Alone and lonely, I walk alone.
There is no end in sight, and no place to call home.
Living is nothing more than being a walking corpse.
From this square rooftop, they leaped down, like fragile butterflies crushed in the fireworks; the scattered sparks were the embers of their burning lives.
Hua Changle fell into the abyss, the fierce wind shattered her thoughts, and emptiness completely enveloped her.
But the pain was slow to come.
She slowly opened her eyes in a daze, only to find herself once again in the middle of a fog.
But this time, beneath her was a broad back covered with golden-patterned black scales.
The owner of the black scales was so large that when she sat on the scales, the edge of her back was not visible.
Looking into the distance, its huge and slender body resembles a winding black Great Wall swirling in the clouds until it disappears into the horizon.
"Hmm..."
A deep, resonant voice, as if someone had just woken up, entered my ears.
Hua Changle looked down at the black scales beneath him; it was this big guy making the sound.
"What do you want to play?" the group suddenly asked.
The voice sounded like a young male voice.
Hua Changle felt the name sounded vaguely familiar, but her mind was foggy and she couldn't remember anything.
She had no idea where she was, why she was there, or whether it was an illusion or reality.
Here, the wounds in her heart, chilled by the howling winds, would heal briefly, making her subconsciously crave this tranquility.
Hua Changle asked in confusion, "What kind of play?"
This big black thing... is it a big black dragon? What does that mean?
The big black dragon patiently repeated, "You want to play, right?"
Hua Changle was even more confused: "Do I want to play?"
"Hey! Are you playing Ma Dongmei with me here?" Da Heilong's demeanor suddenly changed.
Hua Changle stared blankly: "Huh?"
"Why have you become so stupid?" the big black dragon complained disdainfully.
Before Hua Changle could recover from her confusion, he immediately said, "Then I'll show you around a bit."
"Don't look so gloomy like a bitter gourd."
As soon as he finished speaking, the intense push against his back caused Hua Changle to fall backward. He managed to grab onto the gaps between the scales to keep from falling. Hua Changle was so frightened that he clung tightly to the cool dragon scales with both hands and feet.
The gentle breeze that sweeps across the mountain stream, the drifting clouds that swirl and sway, are not as carefree as Hua Changle's hair being tossed around.
The great black dragon broke through the mist and roamed under the blue sky, taking in the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers.
"Don't just lie there like a turtle, look up and enjoy the scenery."
Hua Changle puffed out her cheeks. Her mind wasn't clear, but she could clearly feel the slyness of this big black dragon.
She tried to open her eyes and peek out.
The earth breathes, mountains and rivers become paintings; the ocean calls, all rivers flow into the sea.
Birds fly together, fish swim freely, and beasts run about.
Nature always possesses the power to nourish the soul.
Hua Changle lay down on the back of the black dragon, and with the dragon's up-and-down movements, ripples spread across the water, brushed against the green leaves, and kissed the breeze.
The countless, indescribable tangled mess in my mind, like the darkness of hell, was dispelled by the colorful light reflected from the dragon scales.
Hua Changle closed her eyes and stroked the black scales, thinking to herself: Perhaps this is just a beautiful dream.
After flying for an unknown amount of time, the great black dragon stopped atop a mountain where one could reach for the stars.
"Look at the natural stargazing platform I found! Isn't it beautiful?" The big black dragon's tone was filled with pride and anticipation.
Looking at the starry sky, which resembled a blanket of silver frost, mysterious and beautiful, Hua Changle unconsciously curved the corners of her mouth: "Beautiful, especially beautiful."
The black dragon snorted twice: "Finally, you're laughing."
Hua Changle leaned against the only slightly soft part of the black dragon's belly, gazing up at the starry sky for a long, long time, until his eyelids grew heavy.
The moment her eyelids closed, she woke up with a start, then forced herself to keep her eyes wide open.
The great black dragon noticed her movement, and its enormous head, whose entire form was obscured, tilted slightly in this direction:
"If you're sleepy, just go to sleep. Why are you staring like that?"
Hua Changle pouted: "Such a beautiful dream, I can't bear to end it so soon."
She remembers nothing, but something in her subconscious tells her that if she falls asleep, it will definitely not be a pleasant dream when she wakes up.
The black dragon looked at her dejected face in silence for a long time, then sighed slowly, with a mixture of helplessness and comfort: "Little madwoman."
Hua Changle responded subconsciously, then felt a moment of disorientation.
This name, this voice, seemed to have appeared more than once before. So much so that her body reacted instinctively.
The sharp-tongued black dragon's voice was very gentle this time:
"If one day you feel too tired, just come home. I'll be there waiting for you; I'll always be here."
Hua Changle could no longer resist the drowsiness, but the last words of the Great Black Dragon were deeply engraved in her mind.
"Little madman."
"If you're really too tired, go home."
"I'll be waiting for you there. I'll always be here."
The enormous head of the black dragon leaned forward, lowered, and gently touched the forehead of the sleeping girl:
Sweet dreams, Lele.
...
Hua Changle suddenly opened his eyes, followed by hundreds of dark green vines that suddenly surged out. Crackling and explosive lightning energy flowed through the vines, carrying a strong sense of hostility.
Hua Changle's sharp eyes were fixed on the huge object floating in front of him.
The orange-red gradient of the sunset glowed like a burning fire, over a desolate and scorching wilderness.
Opposite the girl, surrounded by vines and lightning, stood a massive, dark purple, one-eyed sphere, dozens of times larger.
Against the backdrop of spectacular scenery, the inner world of the spirit unfolds.
Hua Changle frowned; her mind was still in a state of confusion.
She seemed to have a lot of dreams in a row.
She seemed to vaguely recall her older sister who had been her only family since childhood; she seemed to see the original owner of this body and watch her and She Haoyun cause chaos in the Hua family; she seemed to... also have an unprecedentedly beautiful dream.
A black dragon told her to go home.
She didn't have time to sort out these dreams, not knowing which were memories and which were illusions, but she knew that if she continued to sink into despair, she would truly die.
Because of the present situation.
Hua Changle gazed calmly at the single purple eye with its rings, sensing the panicked emotions emanating from her consciousness.
That wasn't hers; it was Beein's emotion.
She devoured Bion's essence, and before Bion's consciousness completely perished, a bond of unity was formed between them.
Her excessively long dream was also due to Biein's dying counterattack—Biein wanted her to die in a mental prison so that he could take over her body.
However, Beene failed.
