Wonderful Painting of the Mountains and Seas 34
âDonât do it?â Xie Xi glanced at him and joked, âThe name White is too hard to hear.â
Xie Xi was joking but Houqing and White Tiger didnât smile at all. Houqing told him, âWe donât need names so itâs fine.â
Xie Xi wondered, âDidnât you want them before?â
âAt that time, we were small and not sensible.â
Xie Xi stared at the portrait of White Tiger and whispered, âWhat do you know?â
Houqing didnât speak. White Tigerâs tone wasnât very good. âThe name doesnât matter. Donât draw anymore in the future.â Then he bent and picked up Xie Xi.
âEh?â Xie Xi was startled and stared at this silly tiger. âWhy? In addition, put me down.â
White Tiger told him, âGo back to the house. It is cold.â
âI can go by myself.â
White Tiger retorted, âWhy? You are as light as a petal.â
Xie Xi felt that his dignity as a father had disappeared. He had been sleeping for 15 years and became lighter!
They returned to the house and Xie Xi questioned them, âWhat are you so nervous about? Iâm just getting olderâŠâ
The two people glanced at each other and Houqingâs eyes were serious while White Tiger looked fierce. Then they spoke in unison, âDonât say that! Youâre not old at all!â
Xie Xi, ââŠâ He really felt like he took one step into the tomb.
âWhat are you panicking about? I have lived longer than both of you.â
In fact, Xie Xiâs words were just a bluff. No one knew how long the flower god had lived. The only thing certain was that they couldnât imagine it. Their short life was like the blink of an eye in front of the flower god. Xie Xi said he lived longer than them and they believed it.
Houqingâs demeanour became much more soothing, ââŠI just hope that you can sleep less.â
White Tiger added, âYou slept for 15 years. The next time you sleep, I will be dead when you wake upâŠâ
Xie Xi glared at him. âNonsense!â
He said he was old and they didnât listen. They tried to persuade him and he couldnât hear anymore.
White Tiger muttered, âThen you willâŠâ His voice was very low and awkward. It was amazing since it didnât fit his personality. âSpend more time with us.â
Xie Xiâs heart instantly softened into water. He looked at the painting in his hand before rubbing White Tigerâs head and whispering, âOkay.â
The sky was getting dark when Azure Dragon came back. He was still young when they first met and now that he saw Xie Xi, his indigo eyes were filled with amazement.
Xie Xi was aware of it and felt moved. Yes, at the time, Azure Dragon had been too small and his angle of view was limited. It was estimated that he didnât see Xie Xiâs appearance.
However, shouldnât Azure Dragon have visited when Xie Xi was sleeping? Perhaps he looked different awake compared to when he was sleeping?
Xie Xi didnât quite understand.
Azure Dragonâs emotions were hidden very quickly. He bent down and bowed. âLord Flower God.â It was a clear tone with a youthful air.
Xie Xiâs eyes curved and he smiled. âCome over and let me see you.â
This was the first time seeing Azure Dragonâs human form and wanting to see it was normal.
Azure Dragon approached and stared into his eyes. Well⊠189 centimetres was already really tall!
Xie Xiâs heart itched. âCan you change back to your body to let me see?â
Houqing and Azure Dragon immediately cried out, âDonât draw.â
Xie Xi smiled. âThese brothers are too unseemly. You just allowed me to draw you but you wonât allow me to draw your brother?â
Azure Dragon frowned. âYou just woke up and need to rest. Drawing is laborious.â
Xie Xi wasnât happy. âYou have grown up and your wings are hard. You arenât even willing to show me your body.â
He slightly lowered his voice and one tiger and dragon became nervous. Azure Dragon replied, âYou can see whatever you want, justâŠâ
Xie Xi interrupted. âDonât draw?â
The three men nodded. Xie Xi knew it wasnât easy to fool them and ended up saying, âWhat are you afraid of? You have existed for a long time so how can I draw another one of you into existence?â
The words stunned all three people. In particular, Houqingâs thin lips trembled. âSure enough, you drew the Holy Mountain and Demon Sea.â
It was too difficult to explain, whether it was true or not. White Tiger and Azure Dragonâs demeanours were very solemn as Azure Dragon asked, âDid you sleep for so long because of the creation of the Holy Mountain and Demon Sea?â
Xie Xi answered, âSort of.â
The trio were unanimous. âWhy create them?â
If there were no Holy Mountain and Demon Sea, where would the sages and demon ancestors in the future come from?
Without them, where did this world come from? Where did the roses come from and where did the flower god come from?
âIs it for us?â The three people already had the answer. The outside world was chaotic and there were evil things, but those in the flower world didnât have to worry about that. The flower god and flowers could stay in the flower world without worrying about the things happening outside.
Then the flower god painted the Holy Mountain and Demon Sea, painting a different world and creating a new world for them.
During these 15 years, they travelled all over the Holy Mountain and Demon Sea, looking at the grass and trees, the mountain and the water. They thought that everything came from the flower godâs pen and only had admiration and awe in their hearts.
Xie Xi asked a seemingly unrelated topic. âDo you believe in fate?â
None of the three could answer. Xie Xi told them, âDonât believe in it. You just have to believe in yourself.â
This was to leave a path for them in the countless years in the future. Xie Xi still painted Azure Dragonâs body and then caught the nine tailed fox.
He already had the illustration of Nine Tails but it didnât matter. He still drew it to the same standards. Houqingâs painting was already done so he was always a human. Xie Xi didnât need to look to draw Houqing.
As he drew, the four people were worried that he would fall asleep again. Fortunately, Xie Xiâs state was very good and showed no signs of exhaustion.
He also loved these drawings. He couldnât help staring at them and the people gradually let go of their worries.
Xie Xi knew that he wouldnât âdisappearâ as long as he didnâtâ write their names.
The bird was the last one.
Vermilion Bird was the youngest and the time he had transformed into a human was also the shorted. His impression of Xie Xi was slightly shallow and he flew further away. After receiving the news, he flew for three days before returning.
It was supposed to be this day and Xie Xi was very excited, so he decided to have a party.
Nine Tails and Houqing went to prepare food, Azure Dragon and White Tiger went to get some fresh things and the bored Xie Xi sunbathed in the garden.
He flipped the album in his hand with a faint smile.
Then there was a fascinating bird song and a red light crossed the sky before a teenager in gorgeous feathered clothes fell in the sea of flowers.

Xie Xi looked up and thought this little bird had really returned. The teenage Vermilion Bird didnât chirp like he did as a child. He was beautiful and graceful.
His facial features were most like Jiang Xie and when Xie Xi thought about Jiang Xie having such a young appearance, he couldnât help smiling.
He was about to greet the other person when the bird came over himself, eyes full of surprise. âWho are you?â
âYou look beautiful.â Vermilion Bird bent down and stared at Xie Xi. After watching for a while, he seriously suggested, âHow about marrying me?â
