Chapter 28 Demon : meadow of dandelions
Imoogi, a powerful creature that is known for its immense durability and regeneration. A special creature that only needs to build his own core to be an immortal and be a legendary dragon.
This creature of power is currently inside a hidden cave under a wide river. Its immense size is lounging calmly at the mountains of bones.
"This disgusting humans! They dared make the great me be the condition to win in their lousy play," Its cold blood eyes has a murderous glint in it while it swallowing the dead cultivator he caught." These measly immortals dare show themselves infront of the great me!! Imbeciles!!!", His tail swat the dead bodies near him, crushing the bones and blood splatter in a gory manner." Be grateful that I can't harvest all of you right now!"
" Hhmp, I will just kill all daring enough to face the great me!," He said with grudge but suddenly frozen when he feel something change in his surrounding." What is this ? Such massive amount of divine energy is pooling !....even the other source of energy is thrumming with life.... Is this-!," The imoogi stretch his body to his full height, eyes blazing with so much interest ." A divine is being born!!!",
Desire and greed engulf the imoogi's mind. He moves fast that almost no one can see him flying in the direction of the seventh level!
Heavy fog is what he can only see ahead. He tried to use his divine sense but he can only feel a meter from him at best. The wolf beside him is wagging his tail, not worrying where they are. Song Xi assumed they are not in a dangerous situation with its reaction ,that is if this little wolf don't have insidious plans against him.
The more they walk into the fog, he can feel the energy around is becoming thinner. Forming his palanquin in this kind of place is impractical as it consume his own energy. He dissolve the palanquin and stand on the fog field place.
"This type of place looks really creepy, like the thing in the horror movies....sshhh, just don't show me some girl with long hair crawling while crunching her bones or a girl covering her face with her hair and coming from a well....oh not even a clown with balloon please!.....", Eyes darting from side to side ,his expressionless face is almost cracking, he finally saw some light up ahead!
He briskly walk towards that place with the wolf running happily beside him. He walk for a few minutes before he came pass that thick foggy place. He now can see where he is at. It is a forest with almost no light can pass through from that thick foliage above.
He looked again where he came from , that foggy path must be a Teleportation portal. "Ah, my guards disappeared?...., Really?...," he tried using divine sense again but there's no one near him . "Did they got lost?', the probability of them teleported to other places is high in this kind of portal,"
His eyes widen and his face can't help but twitched from holding back his laughter.His hand touch his face and start to massage it a little "finally! I can relax a little!, ah, my facial muscles almost dead ahh!,how fast can they find me ?", He started to relaxed his posture, hand on his waist while the other is fanning himself. His face is contorted trying to liven up his stiff facial muscles. " Don't be industrious to find me people," he drawled then do some stretching.
The elegance of Young master Song Xi disappeared just liked that.
The wolf beside him just sit and watch him do his things,
"Oi, whitey , do you know this place?," Song Xi just ask this wolf offhandedly, but it immediately give him a growl and whines softly, its ears even become more lively and tail keeps wagging.
" Oh?, Then bark once if this place dangerous, bark twice if it's okay to be here" , strangely, the wolf bark twice but the second one is more of a moaning from disgust, even its expression defines it!
"Eh? Why's that?," The wolf just give him a growling sound like it wants to tell him something and frustrated about it. After looking at it for a while , he gave it a pat " I can't understand what you want to tell me, why don't you just speak? Spirit beast on your level probably can do human language,"
It whines at him and walks around him in frustration. Then look at him , bit his sleeves and pull him " oi whitey, where do you want to take me?"
He just let it pull him as he doesn't know where to go in this thick forest. After few minutes , he saw a stone pathway with trees lining perfectly on both sides. The wolf finally let go of his sleeves and walk to the pathway. The end of the pathway is very bright. Probably a clearing in this thick foliage. He can even hear birds in the area. There is this peaceful place inside the Beasts Land?
Song Xi hold his fan tightly, the wolf from the very beginning is too docile with him, this place might had the answer why. While walking he tried using divine sense to feel what ahead but there's no one .
Bright sunny skies greet him when he reach the end of the pathway. Then a meadow in spring take his breath away! Many flowers in different sizes is in full bloom. Dandelions seeds bigger than what he seen on earth are gently carried away by the wind. Mountain ranges from afar. It can even compete its beauty with his land of Zhao! There something in this place gives him a bit of familiarity but he doesn't know why.
He didn't notice how innocent he look while he is stunned by the beauty of this place, he just stand there , blooming flowers in his feet, his silver hair and white red clothes makes his appearance more beautiful and attuned with everything around.
Song Xi didn't notice one thing more. A man is lying on the meadow near him and looks in his direction.a little smile formed in his lips before speaking gently.
"Xin. "
The gentle voice shattered Song Xi's thinking! With a shock,He immediately look for the source of that voice, then saw a man in black slowly rising from lying down.
The man is very tall with long dark hair that is tied up securely in a hair crown. He wore dark clothes from head to foot, sword in his back and a black ribbon covering his eyes that Is tied behind his head with symbols of spells.
" How can my divine sense fail? How can I not notice this person around?", He can't help but be cautious of this person. He don't know this person even with Song Xi's memory but why the hell the feeling of nostalgia keeps coming up in him? In this place ,with this person he didn't know.....
"Song Xi!!! What the heck is happening!? Why is your memory so damn inconsistent!?"
"Xin , we finally meet again." , The man walks towards him and give him warm smile .

" In a wide meadows full of spring and dandelions
I saw the person, with his fan as a sword, flowers as his stage.
Sometimes swift , other times gentle
a Graceful sword dance is unknowingly presented to my sinful eyes."
