At the beginning, not long after the old man settled on this planet, a war broke out in the interstellar space. The planets that advocated genetic experiments began to invade and plunder on a large scale, even more excessively than the Zerg back then.
After they invade, they also release a genetically harmful substance into the planet, leaving it barren and the soil toxic. Even after tens of thousands of years, a planet exposed to harmful substances will no longer be suitable for life.
This tourist planet was also one that those forces had targeted. The old man still remembered the overwhelming black mass of starships surrounding the sky, and all kinds of weapons were aimed at the unarmed residents on the surface of the planet.
Just as those starships were clamoring for the planet owner to open the protective shield and let them in, a pair of huge blue vertical pupils opened in the dark sky.
Like a god descending, as fireworks bloomed, the sky cleared up again, and the black color of the starship faded away, leaving only a black shadow with a hint of blue.
The black shadow spread its wings, shielding the planet from attacks from other forces in the universe, and also sheltering all the desperate creatures on the ground, allowing them to find hope for life in the azure sky.
This is the origin of the celebration, to celebrate the blue of the sky and to thank the dragon wings for their protection.
After the story was told, the teacups in Jingxia and Yirui's hands were empty.
The two of them gently placed the teacups back on the table and thanked the old man.
The old man waved his hands and said, "It's okay. I also thank you for listening to what an old man like me has to say."
"Old man, um...can you sell this tea?"
After some consideration, Jing Xia decided to ask. If the old man only sold water and not tea leaves, then he would have to buy more water to bring back to Di Xiu. It would be even better if he could sell tea leaves.
"Well..."
The old man deliberately kept the other child in suspense, pausing for a moment to draw the two children's peek before continuing.
"Originally I don't sell tea, but since you and I are destined to be together, I can just give you some."
The old man took out a bag of tea wrapped in oil paper from the space button. This tea was produced by the old tea tree he had been carrying with him when he left Blue Star. After settling down here, he planted the tea tree in his own yard, picking and making tea every year, and only producing a little bit a year.
"Here, for you."
"thank you"
"It's okay. If you come here to play next time, you can come to me and I will make tea for you again."
Jingxia took the tea bag with both hands and gave Yirui a look.
Yirui understood immediately, picked up the computer, scanned the code on the wooden table, and paid quickly.
"Hey, you two kids."
The old man was also amused by the two tacit actions. He did not notice how much money in his account increased. He just took out two boxes of snacks from the table and stuffed them into Yirui's hands.
"Here, this goes great with tea. I forgot to let you two try some."
"Thank you, thank you."
Jingxia and Yirui thanked the old man one after another, said goodbye to him, and left the scene quickly holding hands.
The old man finally withdrew his hand in farewell and began to pack up. He was old and had never been fond of using high-tech interstellar technology. He even made the wooden tables and stools himself, as well as the tea sets. After putting the two small wooden stools away, he took out his computer and took a look. What he saw was so shocking that it almost made his eyes pop out.
The money that kid paid was enough to buy several aircraft!
When he looked up, the two men in black robes had disappeared.
The old man sighed and said, "Never mind. I'll return it to them next time if I have the chance."
…………
The two people who quickly fled the scene walked hand in hand through the crowd with smiles on their faces.
Yi Rui was pulled by Jing Xia and followed his footsteps with a relaxed look: "Will Xiu like this tea?"
Jing Xia nodded: "Yes, I will definitely like it."
He will also convey the old man's gratitude to Di Xiu, and Di Xiu will definitely like this gift.
After delivering the gift to Di Xiu, Jing Xia ran to the parade venue. Then he slowed down, loosened his grip on the wrist, and looked forward curiously.
Upon hearing this, Yirui also shifted his gaze away from Jingxia and looked at the black objects in front of him.
"These are the lanterns that will be set off at night."
A kind-faced resident nearby answered Jing Xia with a smile.
Various types of lights, big and small, in the shape of black dragons are placed in the center of the square, waiting to be lit up at sunset.
"Those big ones are filled with fuel, so they can fly into the sky when the time comes."
The kind-hearted person pointed to the dragon lanterns at the back that were the size of small aircraft.
"You must come and see it when the time comes!"
"Okay, thank you."
Jingxia and Yirui walked around the "dragon lantern" together, observing it carefully, and discussing head to head the differences between these lanterns and the original form of Emperor Xiu.
"These seem to look better in their original form without any modifications."
Jing Xia muttered softly, not daring to say anything bad about the lanterns in front of the staff.
However, no matter whether these lights were made of paper or metal, none of them could show the star-like luster of the Emperor Xiu Dragon Scales.
Yirui held Jingxia's hand to prevent him from accidentally falling while peeking around. She glanced at all the lanterns and found that they were all very different from the original form of Emperor Xiu.
"It's probably because there are no clear photos of Emperor Xiu's original form on the Star Network."
"That's true."
Jing Xia nodded in agreement. When he was surfing the Star Network before, he also found some photos of Emperor Xiu's original form, but they were few and far between, and they were all blurry.
Even if one has witnessed the Emperor's true form, they may not be able to imitate that posture.
The two of them walked and ate all the way until they found a place with few people just before the lantern festival started in the afternoon.
Jing Xia glanced at the gradually lit black dragon lanterns and the "big black dragons" rising into the sky, smiled, and turned to look at Yirui.
“I found a great viewing spot.”
Yi Rui: OO
Jing Xia pulled Yi Rui into a secluded alley, and after making sure that there was no one around, he began to transform.
Iriels watched helplessly as the black-haired boy transformed into a black dragon half the height of a man and squatted in front of him, with his wide dragon wings spread out, covering the lights in the alley.
Yirui curled his fingers and felt itchy as he looked at the horns on the little dragon's head that was shaking its head.
"Turn around and raise your hands."
The little black dragon commanded Yirui with a smile.
Yirui did as he was told.
A pair of pitch-black claws, their claws retracted, gently extended from his armpits and gathered on his chest. Yirui's eyes darkened, his vision blocked by the inky black dragon wings, almost covering his entire body.
He looked up at the dragons behind him.
This being at the top of the abyss pyramid should have a smile in its arrogant ruby-like vertical pupils, and could easily tear the enemy's claws and hold him as if he were a treasure. It gently straddled his armpits and picked him up, then retracted its barbed dragon tail and wrapped it around his waist from behind.
Then, the dragon's wings spread out and fluttered gently, causing the wind to blow through Iriel's black and silver hair.
In an unknown corner, a lifelike black dragon lantern slowly rises with its treasures, gradually sharing the sky with other lanterns.
