Chapter 104 – Budha
The sun gradually rose up into the sky, drying the morning dew on the grass, and also my tears as well.
Mo’lin bandages my wounds, Jin Wen and Wawa helped me prepare and get dressed, the Blue Feather Goddess taught me the necessary etiquettes when meeting the Budha, and Bull Devil gege gave me a warm hug.
After everything has been prepared, Ao Yun transforms into a flaming red dragon, his scales exuding a golden glow. His stature billowing in the clouds would be mighty enough to attract everyone’s attention, beautiful enough to hold your breath.
He slowly lands with his four claws creating a cloud of dust, in a low voice, he says to me, “Climb on.”
I nodded my head, and as I was about to climb onto the dragon, Yin Zi grabbed my hand and would not let go.
“What is it?” I asked, puzzled.
“Promise me,” Yin Zi’s tone was desolate, but was full of hope, “That whether or not Shen Jun can be saved, you can’t do anything stupid, and must come back and find me.”
“Okay.” I nodded.
“This time, you can’t leave me alone by myself…..” After a moment of silence, Yin Zi said carefully, “I will wait for you to come back, everyone will be waiting for you to come back, so don’t hurt their feelings.”
“I’ll be back.” I looked up at everybody with a renewed commitment, their eyes shining.
“I wish you success…..” Yin Zi was reluctant to let go. I stepped onto Ao Yun’s back, the dragon roared and disappeared into the horizon. Passing thousands of miles in a blink of an eye, and disappearing from everyone in a blink of an eye.
I sat on the dragon’s back in silence. No trace of expression, just the fierce wind rippling through my face and hair. What will happen in the future? I don’t know, my heart was anxious, but also contained hope.
