Wonderful Painting of the Mountains and Seas 11

Across the red flames, Xie Xi and Azure Dragon gazed at each other.

Even through the fire, Xie Xi could see the shock in Azure Dragon's indigo eyes before they became dead.

It felt like the hot Vermilion Bird Palace had dropped several degrees.

One phrase could be used to describe Azure Dragon's mood: fallinnnnnng to the end.

Originally, he knew that Xie Xi was escaping from the marriage and suspected that he 'cheated.' Azure Dragon doubted the people around him but Xie Xi's original cheating partner was Vermilion Bird of the Holy Mountain.

It was only Vermilion Bird who could freely take Xie Xi across the mountains and rivers.

Azure Dragon's heart was being torn apart. He was clearly standing in a place where fire was burning but his hands and feet were cold as ice.

Xie Xi didn't need to ask what this guy was thinking! The damn thing was… he couldn't explain it.

He hadn't seen Vermilion Bird yet and Vermilion Bird was dying. If he told Azure Dragon it was a misunderstanding in Vermilion Bird's presence…

Vermilion Bird would surely show him a death performance on the spot!

The phoenix could be reborn after dying but Vermilion Bird… it didn't seem possible?

How could Xie Xi dare take this risk?

The man with the colourful tail feathers knew the inside story. His mood was complicated when he saw that Azure Dragon had also come. He was annoyed by this greedy scum flower but if the scum flower left now, their sage would die. He had to stabilize this situation.

"Lord Azure Dragon." The man with the colourful tail feathers greeted him. "Our sage doesn't have any major problems. He just needs to rest. I'm really ashamed about bothering you."

He wanted to take the Azure Dragon away to give Xie Xi a chance.

It was a pity that this trick was too low level. Azure Dragon wasn't a fool and he opened his mouth, "In that case, Xiao Xie will go back with me."

His words were clear and calm. There was nothing unusual but everyone present got a chill that soaked their bones. In particular, Xiao Xie was frozen and trembling in the fire.

The man with the colourful tail feathers made an ugly face. "Lord Xie Xi still has something to do…"

Azure Dragon didn't wait for him to finish. "Then I will wait for him and also take a look at Vermilion Bird's situation. I won't feel assured until I see him awake."

He wouldn’t go! Xie Xi wasn't surprised at all. It would be strange if Azure Dragon left. What to do?

Could he speak sweet words to Vermilion Bird in front of Azure Dragon? What if Azure Dragon hacked them to death in a fit of rage?

Should he go out first with Azure Dragon to have a good talk? Could Azure Dragon be coaxed to wait?

Don't mention coaxing since it wasn't even certain it would work. Based on Vermilion Bird's current situation, Xie Xi believed that taking even one step away meant Vermilion Bird wouldn't hesitate to die!

The fifth prince was a real artist and artists were naturally sensitive. If Xie Xi slightly revealed his intention of coaxing Vermillion Bird to live, it was estimated that Vermillion Bird would rise to heaven.

The man with the colourful feather tails was also very clear about this point and looked anxiously at Xie Xi, his voice full of pleading. "Lord Xie Xi, you… you…"

Xie Xi definitely wouldn't leave Vermilion Bird no matter what. The important thing was to save this person!

Xie Xi cruelly turned his head and entered the blazing red light.

He couldn't see behind him but Azure Dragon's gaze seemed to be ice that penetrated his clothes and stabbed him in the back.

Xie Xi gritted his teeth and put all his mind on Vermilion Bird. "Sage…"

Vermilion Bird lay on the bed with his eyes closed. His facial features were the same as Jiang Xie and they looked almost identical when Vermilion Bird's eyes were closed.

Vermillion Bird was pale and haggard, his life obviously at risk.

How could Xie Xi not be emotional after seeing such a Jiang Xie? His eyes were red and his voice choked. "Sage, please wake up. Open your eyes and look at me, okay?"

Vermilion Bird seemed to hear his voice and his thin lips moved as he called out lightly, "Xiao Xie."

Xie Xi nodded and held his hand. "I'm here."

Vermilion Bird weakly held him, voice as low as a whisper. "I'm sorry, I can't bear to see you with other people."

Xie Xi prepared himself. "I won't be with anyone else."

In fact, Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tail and Nine Tails added together weren't anyone else to Xie Xi!

These words were very powerful, piercing the heart of the person behind him while giving hope to the person in front of him.

Vermilion Bird was weak and dying. Now he could open his eyes and the fire burning the palace disappeared, showing the exquisite jade outline.

The birds present were ecstatic. "The sage woke up!"

Vermilion Bird held Xie Xi and asked while staring at him, "You really won't be with anyone else?"

Xie Xi had already said this and wasn't afraid to say a few more words. "Yes."

"But your engagement…"

Xie Xi told him, "I won't marry someone else." This was true. His marriage object had always been one person.

Vermilion Bird sat up, his red clothes hanging down and lining his skin like a painting. "You…"

Xie Xi knew what he wanted to hear and sent a message to his heart. "I like you. How can I be with other people?"

Vermilion Bird's pupils shrank and he grabbed Xie Xi's shoulder. "Don't lie to me." Xie Xi wasn't lying but this situation…

"If I lie to you, thunder will…" Xie Xi's vow hadn't finished when Vermilion Bird interrupted. "Don't say it. I am happy as long as you have me in your heart."

He finished speaking and all the fire in the Vermilion Bird Palace disappeared while the birdsong became exhilarated and jubilant.

Vermilion Bird held Xie Xi's hand and got out of bed, only to see Azure Dragon in the main hall. Vermilion Bird was startled and his grip on Xie Xi's hand increased.

Xie Xi inevitably looked at Azure Dragon. Azure Dragon's lips were tight and there was no blood on his face. He stared at Xie Xi without blinking… Finally, he coughed lightly and there was a trace of blood at the corners of his mouth.

Xie Xi's heart was pierced!

Vermilion Bird didn't say a word but pulled Xie Xi into his arms, fearing that Xie Xi would be taken away.

Azure Dragon stared from a distance before turning away without saying anything. His back was desolate and lonely, as if he had been abandoned by the whole world.

Xie Xi's heart was a hornet's nest. If Vermilion Bird wasn't holding him, he would definitely chase after Azure Dragon.

Steady, steady… Xie Xi told himself. He worked hard to save Vermilion Bird and it couldn't be undone.

It was imperative to be alone with Vermilion Bird and discover the situation from Jiang Xie.

He understood it and it was reasonable but the emotional Xie Xi couldn't let it go. The thought of Azure Dragon truly experiencing betrayal…

He felt pained and angry but didn't know who to feel pained for and who to be angry at!

Jiang Xie couldn't fulfil the designer's responsibilities without separating his soul. The separation of the soul led to worlds that only Xie Xi could enter. As soon as Xie Xi entered, the group of souls would scramble for his attention.

How could he feel angry? What was he angry about?

Jiang Xie loved him so much that every strand of hair would die for him?

Xie Xi's heart was pained, sweet and also bitter. He experienced thousands of gestures of love every minute!

Xie Xi was distracted and Vermilion Bird's voice was full of uneasiness. "Xiao Xie, did you say those words because you saw that I was seriously hurt?"

Xie Xi's heart was stunned. "What are you saying? Would I say those words to coax you?"

Vermilion Bird whispered, "Azure Dragon heard all of it."

Xie Xi, "…"

"I'm not good and didn't meet you earlier."

In fact, their encounter was very early, early than the fourth prince (Azure Dragon). However, in Atlantis, Xie Xi had agreed to the fourth prince's proposal while the fifth prince (Vermilion Bird) was busy resurrecting Sein and didn't have a chance to propose. The dream didn't count.

Xie Xi's heart wasn't steady and he glanced at Vermilion Bird. "Your Excellency, you just woke up and should rest well."

Vermilion Bird wasn't in a hurry. "Do you want to go?"

Xie Xi's heart was a mess. "I won't go. I'll be here with you."

Vermilion Bird's eyes were bright and the joy was palpable.

He hadn't recovered yet and it wasn't easy to control the fire. He lost his natural fire and if it was someone else, they would've died thousands of times.

Xie Xi's words made him cheer up and he seemed to be okay, but just standing required strong support.

The man with the colourful tail feathers saw this and quickly said, "The sage needs to rest. We will go first!"

Vermilion Bird nodded. "I worried all of you."

The group of birds cried out, "The sage is safe, it is a great blessing for the bird family!"

The birds left and only Vermilion Bird and Xie Xi were left in the huge temple.

Xie Xi helped Vermilion Bird back to bed. He lay down and the eyes stared at him without blinking. "I always afraid that I'm dreaming…"

He hadn't finished these words when the different coloured eyes emerged.

Xie Xi was so angry that he pulled away his hand.

Jiang Xie unexpectedly didn't try to hold him and spoke weakly, "This Vermilion Bird can really perform. He is actually half dead."

Xie Xi felt a strange heartache and returned his hand. "What the hell is going on?"

Jiang Xie rubbed his soft hand and coughed. "You should hurry to Azure Dragon."

Xie Xi had a terrible thought in his heart…

Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird were together and Jiang Xie shared their memories. Thus, he knew what Azure Dragon was thinking.

Jiang Xie explained, "Before Azure Dragon met you, his cultivation contained no desire. In order to be with you, he broke his core and devoured his body. However, he didn't mind since you won't have a long life, even with the name of the flower god. He only wanted to live with you."

Xie Xi's heart was tense. "This… everything…" What the hell was this setup?

Jiang Xie replied quietly, "There is no other way. I love you so much that I am a desperate man."

He was still in the mood to speak like this! Xie Xi couldn't be angry. "What is Azure Dragon's situation now?"

"He will be able to survive if you quickly coax him."

It was that serious! Xie Xi asked anxiously, "If the soul dies, you…"

"Objectively speaking, the souls and I exist at the same time. If one disappears, I will cease to exist."

It was worse than Xie Xi thought but it was also logical. Existence was existence, there was no separating it.

Xie Xi couldn't sit still. "I'll go after him."

Jiang Xie nodded. However, Xie Xi wasn't reassured. "What about Vermilion Bird?"

Jiang Xie replied, "There is no one here and I will stay awake for a short time. It will be fine."

Now it was Jiang Xie, not Vermilion Bird present. As long as no one came, the problem wasn't big.

Xie Xi didn't dare delay the time. Jiang Xie pulled him over and handed him something. "This is a stealth charm so the other birds won't see you."

It was a good thing. If the other birds discovered he left, they would enter the palace to check Vermilion Bird's condition.

Xie Xi used the stealth charm and immediately left.

At this moment, he was personally aware of what it meant by solving one problem only for another to crop up!

Wonderful Painting of the Mountains and Seas 13

Xie Xi came out and the birds couldn't see or hear him because of the stealth charm.

"Sure enough our sage's charm is invincible. The little rose unexpectedly regretted his marriage in front of Sage Azure Dragon."

"It must be. Based on appearance, cultivation and sentiment, the sage is definitely better than Sage Azure Dragon."

"Hey, what type of evil did this little rose do to unexpectedly charm two sages?"

"He looks good but there are many beauties in the flower family. How can the sages be so fond of him?"

"Who knows? This thing called love can't be read."

Xie Xi thought in his heart, 'I don't understand… I can't read it either!'

Xie Xi remembered the Azure Dragon and rushed out of Vermilion Bird Palace with his fastest speed.

In such a short time, Azure Dragon hadn't gone far. He walked out of the Vermilion Bird Palace one step at a time, like he was stepping on his bloody heart.

Xie Xi saw this and his heart cracked.

Vermilion Bird's facial features were most like Jiang Xie while Azure Dragon's back was exactly the same as Jiang Xie. In fact, even if there were no similar places, these souls gave Xie Xi a strong sense of familiarity.

This was wonderful. Previously, he hadn't felt too much but now he knew with one glance that it was Jiang Xie. The souls might not have the memories of the body but these feelings went straight into Xie Xi's heart.

“Lord Azure Dragon!" Xie Xi called out to him.

Azure Dragon stopped, his back stiff while his fingernails dug into his palms as he tried to stop himself from looking back.

Xie Xi strode forward. "I…"

He only said one word when Azure Dragon's body flashed and he disappeared.

Xie Xi, "…"

The green dragon flashed through the sky and directly flew away. Yes, he was a dragon. Slowly walking showed his bad mood and there was no problem flying away when angry.

Poor Xie Xi's setting was a little rose with low mana. Forget flying, he was breathless just from running out of Vermilion Bird Palace.

Could this guy let people finish talking?

Xie Xi didn't give up. The monk could run away but the temple wouldn't run with him. Xie Xi would run to the Azure Dragon Palace.

As for the location of Azure Dragon Palace… He would go, even if it was to the end of the earth.

Besides, Xie Xi didn't believe that Azure Dragon would leave him alone. The two of them spending 60 years together wasn't a waste. Xie Xi truly knew Jiang Xie to his bones.

Azure Dragon did fly away towards Azure Dragon Palace. However, he quickly turned back and silently watched Xie Xi from the air.

Xie Xi was just a small rose and his man was very low. He had no flying spells at all.

He didn't even know where Azure Dragon was located. He just ran forward like he wanted to catch up with the person who had long since disappeared.

Why? Azure Dragon didn't know why this person was chasing him and didn't dare to ask.

Didn't Xie Xi already choose Vermilion Bird? He had abandoned Azure Dragon. Why was Xie Xi chasing him? What else did he want to say? Did Xie Xi want to stab Azure Dragon in the heart again?

Azure Dragon admitted that he had used disgraceful means… If this was retribution then he acknowledged it.

Xie Xi was running breathlessly while thinking in his heart, 'Did Azure Dragon really leave?' He was so angry that he didn't want to speak to Xie Xi and headed back to Azure Dragon alone?

It was normal to be angry. In the Vermilion Bird Palace scene, if Xie Xi had been in Azure Dragon's spot then not only would he be furious, he would've hacked that dog man with a knife.

Azure Dragon just left in a desolate manner… well… he was very wronged…

The problem was Xie Xi wasn't at ease!

This guy was just sulking right now. What if he really became furious?

Jiang Xie didn't deceive him. He shared the souls memories and had the highest understanding of Azure Dragon's situation. His words indicated that Azure Dragon was in a very dangerous state.

At this rate, would Xie Xi have to run to Azure Dragon Palace?

By the time he arrived, Azure Dragon Palace would be in mourning… bah! Too unlucky!

Xie Xi became more anxious the more his brain worked. Then he saw a big root protruding from the ground in front of him and got a brainstorm.

He didn't believe that Azure Dragon was really gone!

Xie Xi gritted his teeth and rushed towards the tree root. This way, he was sure to fall and eat dog poop.

If he fell then he fell. Then he would admit that Azure Dragon wasn't present!

How could Azure Dragon leave him alone?

He was originally distressed after seeing Xie Xi rushing in a breathless manner. Now Azure Dragon couldn't help hugging him.

Xie Xi's body was thrown forward only to be hugged by a strong arm. His back was attached to something cool.

Azure Dragon didn't say anything. He just helped Xie Xi and then loosened his hand.

Xie Xi stared at the dragon and hugged his arm. "Lord Azure Dragon!"

"There is nothing to say." Azure Dragon told him, "Go back to Vermilion Bird Palace."

Xie Xi didn't expect Old Four to not want to communicate and hurriedly tried to explain, "I said those words in Vermilion Bird Palace because…"

Unexpectedly, he wasn't able to finish his words when Azure Dragon violently coughed, his veins bulging.

Xie Xi's pupils shrank and helped him. "How do you feel? Where does it hurt?"

Azure Dragon didn't speak. His thin lips moved and he spat up a large amount of blood.

Xie Xi's heart tensed. "Lord Azure Dragon!" Azure Dragon made a very subtle sound. He seemed to be saying something but also saying nothing…

Xie Xi added, "Don't be angry. I said those words to ease Sage Vermilion Bird's body. It wasn't from the heart…"

It was a pity that Azure Dragon had fainted.

Xie Xi, "…"

This person, don't be as punctual as a TV drama!

Azure Dragon fainted but Xie Xi didn't panic about being stuck in this desolate place.

There had to be Azure Dragon's people around here. After all, Azure Dragon's eyes hadn't changed, showing they weren't alone. If there was an outsider, Azure Dragon wouldn't act like this. They had to be his entourage.

Sure enough, after a while, two men dressed in black came out and spoke. "Lord Xie Xi, please give us the sage."

Xie Xi replied, "Take me back to Azure Dragon Palace. I will take care of him."

The two men glanced at each other. Aversion flashed in their eyes but they ended up saying, "Okay, you worked hard. Thank you."

They were part of Azure Dragon's entourage and definitely knew Xie Xi's words in Vermilion Bird Palace. A normal person would be disgusted with this type of half-hearted scum but Xie Xi didn't care.

The most important thing right now was Azure Dragon. The rest had to be ignored.

Xie Xi followed them back to Azure Dragon Palace. Azure Dragon didn't have this problem for one or two days and there were already doctors waiting there.

As soon as Azure Dragon arrived, the doctor came to treat him. Xie Xi anxiously waited for news on one side.

The doctor sighed and said, "The sage was angry, leading to a loss in the Yuan vein. He already has a heart demon and now this…" He shook his head and spoke a bunch of words that Xie Xi had little knowledge of. Xie Xi asked, "How can Lord Azure Dragon recover?"

The doctor stared Xie Xi in the eyes. "The sage's heart has been broken and he bears the pain of broken bones every day. This is very torturous and now that he has suffered a heavy blow, it is really painful…" He noticed Xie Xi's poor expression and spoke the key point. "He can only rest and stay mentally stable to steady his heart. As for the pain of the broken bones, there is no way."

Xie Xi felt pained and anxious as he guarded beside the bed for an hour.

After using some medicinal herbs, Azure Dragon's situation was much better as he regained some colour in his lips.

Xie Xi believed that Azure Dragon would definitely hear him and spoke regardless of who was around. "I spoke those words to help Sage Vermilion Bird recover. Sage Vermilion Bird was seriously injured to save the world and my rose family has always had a good relationship with the bird family. They begged Rose Mountain and I couldn't sit idly by since it is only speaking a few words to Sage Vermilion Bird. I don't know why he is obsessed with me but if I can save his life with a few words, how can I ignore it?"

These words were reasonable. The dragon family's attitude towards Xie Xi significantly improved and even the doctor relaxed his demeanor.

Xie Xi continued his efforts. "My lord, don't you know my heart? If I don't want to be with you, how could I dare marry you when I'm just a small rose! Our marriage isn't viewed well by anyone. Then Lord Azure Dragon, even you aren't optimistic about it?"

He said this and didn't know what Jiang Xie's mood was. His pure little friend was so good at speaking nonsense. Should Jiang Xie cry or howl?

In any case… Azure Dragon was coaxed and his situation suddenly improved.

The entourage spoke to Xie Xi in a nice voice, "Lord Xie Xi, you have been protecting the lord for a long time. Go and rest."

Xie Xi didn't leave because he couldn't feel at ease when Azure Dragon didn't wake up.

The doctor also added, "You go to rest. We will look after this place. The sage's condition is stable and it is only a matter of time until he wakes up. We will inform you first."

The servant continued, "If you are exhausted when the sage wakes up, the sage will blame us."

Xie Xi looked at Azure Dragon and thought it shouldn't be a problem. He was still worried about Vermilion Bird and wondered if he should go to Vermilion Bird again.

However, Azure Dragon Palace and Vermilion Bird Palace were separated on the mountain and his short legs…

Forget it, the fire had passed and Vermilion Bird had no reason to die again, even if he woke up.

Xie Xi knew that the souls' regard towards the loss of face was the same as the main body.

Xie Xi was Azure Dragon's fiance and arranged in the same area as Azure Dragon.

Xie Xi's heart was full of thoughts and he couldn't sleep. He walked back and forth in a circle when something flashed in his mind.

God’s wisdom…

It was hard to obtain and he should take this opportunity to pry into it. His promotion task was also expected to be completed using the god’s wisdom.

Xie Xi looked around and was attracted to a picture scroll on the table.

It was a landscape painting. The flower clusters were very lively and it didn't seem to match the cold tone of Azure Dragon's residence.

Xie Xi had no memory of the white rose but when he saw this picture, the words '100 Flowers Festival' appeared in his head. His encounter with Azure Dragon was at the 100 Flowers Festival.

Xie Xi's hands unconsciously moved towards the picture like he was attracted. In an instant, he seemed to be sucked into the painting.

Xie Xi's heart jumped and by the time he recovered, he found that he was seriously injured and had fallen into a pool of blood. He felt very uncomfortable and his mouth was calling a person's name…

“Houqing?" Then Azure Dragon's voice entered his ears. "Do you know him?"

He was calling Houqing's name? Xie Xi was dazed and wasn't too clear about the situation.

Azure Dragon wore a moonlight garment with a dragon pattern flashing on the sleeves. His body was slender and his facial features were cold. In the beautiful sunshine, he was as fresh as the first snow.

Xie Xi was slightly startled and stared blankly.

Azure Dragon whispered, "You are a little rose. How can you know Houqing of the Demon Sea?"

Xie Xi couldn't answer and he was still curious about his situation.

Azure Dragon in front of him was unscathed and wasn't in the half-dead state. This wasn't Azure Dragon Palace. Flowers were blooming in the distance and the sky was full of sunshine. Was this the flower festival? Did he accidentally enter the painting?

Xie Xi didn't understand and slightly frowned while thinking.

Azure Dragon leaned over and said, "You are badly hurt. I'll take you to heal your wounds."

Xie Xi moved and the pain caused him to frown.

Azure Dragon picked him up and wondered, "Why don't you change back to your original form first?"

Xie Xi was a good person who didn't want to be a rose. He was afraid that once he became a flower, he wouldn't be able to turn back. He wasn't very skillful with this transformation!

Xie Xi shook his head. Azure Dragon reassured him, "It doesn't matter as long as you are comfortable."

His temperament was warm and his voice was very nice. His body had a fresh scent like jungle bamboo and inexplicable reassured people.

Xie Xi whispered, "Sage, thank you for saving me."

Azure Dragon was slightly surprised. "You recognize me?"

Xie Xi explained, "Our Rose Mountain has been blessed by the sage for many years. Of course I recognize you."

Azure Dragon smiled. "I have never seen a little rose like you."

Xie Xi didn't like being called this by people because he always felt it was a joke. However, Azure Dragon's tone was gentle and Xie Xi couldn't refute that he was a rose. "I'm not little. I have long become an adult."

Azure Dragon was startle. "How old are you?"

"…19 years old."

Azure Dragon's eyes were full of laughter. "You are really an adult but you are still a little rose."

Xie Xi, "…" Fine, who made him a real rose flower!

The teasing from Azure Dragon was actually to distract Xie Xi from his pain. Xie Xi also felt this and his heart warmed.

The doctor arrived and Azure Dragon carefully put Xie Xi down.

Xie Xi didn't know his own situation and only felt that his lower body was numb. The doctor frowned as he examined Xie Xi for a long time. "This injury…"

Azure Dragon interrupted. "Say it outside."

The doctor bowed and followed him out. Xie Xi became even less aware of what was wrong with him. After a while, Azure Dragon came back. There was a shadow on his face but he smiled. "You are fortunate. If it was delayed any longer, no one could save you."

Xie Xi thanked him.

Azure Dragon smiled. "It's nothing."

He spoke easily but the doctor came in with a white pill in his hand. The doctor's posture was dignified and tense, as if he was reluctant.

Azure Dragon didn't care. He took the medicinal pill and placed it against Xie Xi's mouth. "Eat it."

Xie Xi was very sensitive and realized that things might not be simple. "Your Excellency, this medicine…"

"It's just the usual blood staunching pill. You eat it."

He said this and the doctor looked like he was going to cough up blood. If this was a blood staunching pill, the doctor would probably have to take it first to stop his internal bleeding.

Xie Xi felt that this was something that happened a long time ago and no longer thought about it as he ate the pill.

This 'blood staunching pill' was very strong. After eating it, Xie Xi felt itchy, sore and painful. It was indescribable.

Azure Dragon held his hand. "It will be a bit uncomfortable. Please endure it."

Xie Xi was somewhat unable to maintain his mind. He gritted his teeth but couldn't prevent himself from crying out.

He vaguely heard Azure Dragon's low reprimand, "What is happening?"

The doctor was terrified. "This Qing Pill is a world treasure and has the effect of resurrection. This small rose's foundation is too shallow and it is normal that he can't withstand it."

Azure Dragon cried out, "It's been too long!"

The doctor replied, "I have a bottle of analgesia here. If used, he will surely sleep well and will be fully recovered when he wakes up. Just…"

"Just what?" "This analgesic has some side-effects."

"What side effects?"

The doctor explained, "He might forget some of the past."

Azure Dragon, "…"

Xie Xi felt he would die from the pain and vaguely heard Azure Dragon's gentle yet pained voice. "Don't cry, it will stop hurting soon."

At his gentle whisper, Xie Xi stopped feeling pain and he seemed to fall asleep. He woke up refreshed without any more discomfort.

Azure Dragon watched over him for one night and saw him wake up. "How do you feel?"

Xie Xi smiled. "Thank you for your help, Sage Azure Dragon!"

Azure Dragon saw him smiling happily and was relieved. "It's nothing. There's no need to thank me."

"That can't be. If it wasn't for the sage saving me in time, I would've died on that mountain." Azure Dragon asked him, "How can you be so badly hurt?"

How could Xie Xi know? This was originally a setting of the painting and he came in halfway. There was no way for him to know.

Azure Dragon was still staring at him. Xie Xi hesitated before replying, "I was probably bitten by a worm monster… us roses are most afraid of the worms."

This injury definitely wasn't a bite. Azure Dragon watched him and asked, "Have you been to the Demon Sea?"

Xie Xi replied like it was natural, "No."

If he hadn't been to the Demon Sea, how could he call out the name of Ancestor Houqing in such a helpless and sentimental voice while he was in danger?

It was the side effect of the analgesic. This little rose had forgotten some past events.

Azure Dragon just wanted to save him but now he was selfish and didn't want the rose to think about the past.

"Say it…" Azure Dragon asked in a low voice, "How would you like to thank me?"

Xie Xi didn't respond.

Azure Dragon stared at him and his thin lips curved in a smile. "Didn't you say you wanted to thank me?"

"Of course!"

"How will you thank me?"

Xie Xi blinked. "How do you want me to thank you?"

Azure Dragon was truly a certain someone's soul. "Then how about giving your heart to me?"
