Chapter 11

Before I could explain myself, the Little White Dragon's sudden appearance caused the Immortal under the Moon to choke back his words. The Immortal under the Moon was also frightened, but he still bore a grudge against the Little White Dragon for forcing Xufeng to become a demon. His tender face alternated between red and green, and after a long while, he finally spoke.

"There are still many prayers waiting to be answered in the Residence of Marriage, so this old man will take his leave first."

Then, ignoring my repeated attempts to persuade him to stay, he flicked his sleeves and left. For some reason, his big red back looked like he was running away from a disaster.

The Little White Dragon replaced the cracked cup in front of me and filled it with hot tea. He warmly smiled at the two immortals on the stage, "I'll have to trouble the two of you to perform this play one more time."

The two immortals had just been struck by ninety lightning bolts, and their small faces were deathly pale. Now that the Saint Fate had appeared, their pale faces immediately turned green. I couldn't bear it and advised, "Little White Dragon, I think they've had a hard time today. Why don't we just let it go?"

The sooner it ends, the sooner I can run. The atmosphere at the table is so cold that it's scary!

"Run Yu heard early in the morning that uncle had arranged a new play, so he rushed over right after the morning court. It's a pity that he was still a step too late."

The Little White Dragon's eyelashes drooped, and his face revealed a regretful expression. Seeing this, my heart clenched. Just as I was about to comfort him, he curled his lips and said, "But just now, I was tidying my clothes outside the residence and coincidentally heard that the Chiling God has a talent for acting. I was just about to guide these two immortals, but why did she suddenly stop watching? Could it be that Run Yu ruined her mood?"

What a good move, retreating in order to advance!

What tidying clothes, wasn't it just eavesdropping?!

I clenched my dragon teeth and forced a smile, "You flatter me, Your Majesty the Celestial Ruler accompanied me to watch the play. It's a great honor. Since Your Majesty is interested, then it's the fortune of these two immortals. However, when it comes to acting, the Immortal under the Moon is better. With my half-baked skills, I won't display my slight skill in front of an expert."

"Chiling God, you're too modest. The water dragon in your hands just now was very mysterious. Run Yu was amazed."

His pair of black eyes stared at him. His half-smile actually had a bit of an oppressive aura, perhaps because of the golden embroidered dragon robe.

I rubbed the goosebumps under my sleeves and quickly shifted my gaze back to the stage.

However, the two immortals on the stage and I were still too inexperienced. Although the Little White Dragon was young, he was very nimble. Every time a play ended, he would find some reason or another to force the immortals to do it again. Sometimes it was because the details of the play were not detailed enough, sometimes it was because the characters' emotions were not full enough. In the end, when the play was perfect, he would say that it was so wonderful that he could not help but want to see it again.

That day, from morning to night, I sat below the stage until my waist and back ached. On the other hand, the two immortals on the stage suffered countless lightning strikes. Although they were fake lightning strikes, they still had some power. After the last scene, the two immortals fell to the ground and trembled. Only then was the Little White Dragon satisfied.

This punishment was exactly the same as when I punished Wuqu Xingjun. Could it be that he felt sorry for his immortal officials being bullied?

But that day, I left the palace after saying those words. Wasn't it up to him to punish or not?

— — —

On the way back to the Jade Pearl Palace, the pale faces of the two immortals kept circling in my mind. It seems that in the future, no matter who I provoke, I can't provoke the Little White Dragon. This tail dragon looks white on the surface, but it's actually black and evil.

After we got off the rainbow bridge, we arrived at the Fallen Star River where he and Jin Mi first met. At this moment, the bright moon hung high in the sky, and the sky was filled with stars. On the shore, a thousand-year-old willow tree drooped all the way into the river.

The night wind blew gently, and it was slightly cold. A twinkling star suddenly streaked across the sky and fell into the river with a splash. As soon as the twinkling star came into contact with the river water, its radiance faded and it turned into a round pebble, sinking into the water.

I thought back to the day when the Little White Dragon soaked his tail in the water. All these years, he had always felt that his real body was covered in scars and repulsive. To think that he would secretly transform into his human form to soak his tail in the water. This river water must be very comfortable.

I was originally a master of water, and I really liked things like soaking in baths. Back then, there was a spring in the Jade Lake that was specially created for me. At this moment, my heart itched even more. I found the rock that the Little White Dragon leaned on that day, took off my shoes and socks, and leaned on it to soak my feet.

"Ah ~ This guy really knows how to enjoy himself!"

As soon as my feet touched the river water, a cold and soft feeling spread from the bottom of my feet to the top of my head. The red dragon tail transformed without hesitation, lifting up all the pebbles at the bottom of the river. Those pebbles were originally quietly sinking to the bottom, but when they were lifted up, they actually emitted sparkling starlight, as if there was another sky in the river water.

"Chiling God, you're in a good mood."

A bright smile descended from the rainbow bridge. In the blink of an eye, the Little White Dragon stood three steps away. I was still staring at the stars in the river, but I couldn't help but smile.

This was the place where he and Jin Mi first met. Ever since the Great War of the Immortals and Demons, he would walk here every day. That rainbow bridge was useless to normal Immortals, but he kept it for her for so many years.

Soaking his tail here today was just to wait for him.

"Little White Dragon, did you just retire? Being the Celestial Ruler and the Night God is really tiring. Why don't you soak in it too?"

"Run Yu's real body is vulgar, so I won't disturb you. Hall Master Kuang still has a booklet, so …"

"If you despise me for dirtying the river water, then don't soak in it. Don't use these nonsensical words to brush me off. I've seen your real body more than once or twice. Have I ever found it vulgar?"

My voice gradually turned cold. He could hear the difference, so he lifted his robe and sat by the side. After the sound of water splashing, a tail as clear as ice jade slowly sank to the bottom of the river.

Winged Dragons were cold by nature, but I actually felt that the water temperature was much higher.

"Chiling God, do you have something to say?"

"That's right."

I shook my tail vigorously in the water a few times, and the entire Starfall River instantly rained down light. Many pebbles floated onto his tail and slowly slid down his dragon scales.

The silver-white scales matched the silver-white starlight. It was extremely beautiful.

I couldn't help but use my tail to hook up his tail and shake it together with me.

The starlight shone even brighter.

"Chi … Chiling …" His expression changed. He tried to pull his tail back, but I hooked it tightly.

How could I let go of a tail that was already in my hands?

"I asked you to let your tail out because I wanted to take advantage of the darkness to have fun. It's boring to keep it hanging there like this."

I didn't know how many tens of thousands of years the Little White Dragon was older, but my tail was shorter and thinner than his. It took me a herculean effort to grab hold of his white tail. He couldn't break free, and wanted to turn his tail back into his legs. I immediately spoke up.

"There's movement from Jinmi."

As expected, he stopped struggling.

"On the day she died, I cast a spell to collect a wisp of water vapor and have been nurturing it in my heart. Maybe the two red sun spirits were unstable during the tribulation and accidentally nourished her. When the Heavenly Cave opens tomorrow, we can ask Doumu Yuanjun for help."

"I'll go with you!"

For a dragon, the touch of scales was much more sensitive than the touch of a human's hand. My tail had clearly stroked his tail, but he didn't feel anything. His entire heart and eyes were only filled with Jin Mi.

I thought that what I thought about during the day, I dreamed at night. Although the Nightmare Beast had unintentionally disturbed me that day, the content of my dream was not something it could control. Thus, I probably developed some romantic feelings for the little White Dragon. Age and seniority were not a major issue for immortals, but the person I liked was unswervingly devoted to a dead person.

The most difficult thing to overcome in this world was life and death.

"Little White Dragon, why did you and the Demon Lord raise an army in the River of Forgetfulness?

Was it for Jin Mi? "

"Hatred for your mother, hatred for your wife, hatred for your life, all of them."

He sighed, his eyes filled with loneliness. "It's just that after generations of retribution, once you step in, you keep making mistakes and can't turn back."

"It's not that you can't turn back, it's that you can't let go, right?"

Just like the tail in the river right now, I tried my best to grab it, but that cold white was indifferent. "Fate is determined by fate. If you force it, you'll invite sin. Do you understand?"

He was silent for a while. The pebbles in the river settled, and there was no more light.
