Chapter 65: The Secret of Weak Water

  That dragon was coiling in the air, suddenly it turned its head, I saw it flying towards the Weak Water. What is it going to do? It stopped above the Weak Water and struggled vertically! Is this going to shake us into the Weak Water?

  What a joke, I'm holding on tight, once I fall off I'll be swimming in the water for the rest of my life! The dragon is struggling fiercely and keeps rolling over in mid-air, my face is stuck to its body, and I don't dare look down.

  The dragon suddenly stopped moving, and instead turned its head with two whiskers floating, I felt like it was staring at me and smiling? Can stones smile? But in the blink of an eye, I saw it throw the Shitian into the weak water.

  "Shìténg!", I directly pried open his hand, both hands grasped Shìténg, two hands?

  I fell down with Shitian at the same time, this dragon... actually has thoughts! This was my first thought when I fell into the water, inexplicably without any splashing sound, I don't know how to swim. I thought that when I fell in, both hands would flail about wildly, but after falling in, I realized there wasn't even a hint of water sensation here, on the contrary it felt more like moving on land, no choking on water... just constantly sinking downwards. I looked at the river surface above, that dragon head getting smaller and smaller.

  "Shi Teng... maybe we'll all be stuck in this situation from now on...", Shi Teng seemed to be speechless, but his eyes gave me a sense of trust... I looked down at the very clear water, but it was bottomless... when would we hit rock bottom...

  "What...," I saw a dragon body plummeting vertically downwards beside me, its speed faster than ours. Why did the Stone Spirit, which was still vigorous just now, also fall down? In the blink of an eye, it vanished from sight... I looked around in confusion, everything was clear and transparent, but there was nothing in the water!

  "Zihe... big brother... where are we...", Shitian slowly muttered these few words, seemingly still not fully recovered from being caught just now.

  "In the weak water...", I said weakly to him, not daring to look at him, everything was because of me dragging him down.

  "Weak water... inside...", he heard me say and also lowered his head, patted my shoulder suddenly. "It's okay... Subo big brother... everything has miracles, right?" I knew this was a comfort. "Falling into weak water is like falling into an endless pit", Lv Su Jian told me about the situation inside weak water. Since you'll die anyway, why not die happily?

  "Yes! There will be a miracle!", after thinking about it, I felt like nothing mattered anymore... but after a moment of relief, both of us lowered our heads... we both had too many things that we couldn't let go of.

  "Brother Zikawa... after we get out of here... I must marry Ruoqin!", hearing him say this, my heart feels like it's been hammered, Ruoqin... what about my Zhangting?

  "Hmm! When the time comes, we'll have a joint wedding banquet! I'm going to marry Zhang Ting too!", but after saying that, they just exchanged a bleak smile...

  Can I get out of here? I looked up at the top, still so clear. I can see the scenery on the shore, but my feet keep falling down.

  "What...what's going on?!", the sudden change left me still reeling, feeling like I was wrapped in something and being taken somewhere. It was a layer of water that had formed a membrane, and Seton was also in the same situation, being carried along with me to some place. I didn't know what was happening, or anything about this underwater situation - not even weak water, which I only found out about today. Where were we headed?

  I and Shitian were carried by the waves, I don't know how long we floated, when suddenly a hole opened up in front of us. The inside of the hole looked very dark from the outside, was it going to take us somewhere? Indeed, the water took me and Shitian into the hole, but only after entering did we realize that what was on the outside was different from what was on the inside, the weak water surrounding our bodies fell to the ground and disappeared. I and Shitian fell to the ground, and surprisingly there was another independent space in here, the entrance of the cave was covered by the weak water, but inside it was completely dry!

  The cave was constantly illuminated by a silvery blue light, making me feel as if I had died and gone to another paradise. Following the light, I saw that it came from not far away. I looked at Shitian... He nodded at me, and we walked inside together. The surroundings were all rocky walls, but on the walls were carved many images - a ferocious monster holding a fork? ... It was unimaginable why there would be such an exquisite place inside here.

  As I walked closer, I found that the light was actually coming from a pearl. The pearl was small and delicate. The surface of the pearl was also crystal clear and sky blue, constantly emitting light. I don't know why, but I had an urge to touch it, and my hand unconsciously moved towards the pearl.

  "Wait...", a low voice pulled me back to reality, is there someone else here? Shengteng and I looked towards the source of the sound at the same time, and saw a figure emerging from the water in the direction of the cave entrance. My hand froze in mid-air, staring at every move of that person, is there really someone else in this weak water?

  "This...this...", I felt like I was gritting my teeth, and Shitian wasn't doing any better, his face directly showed two words: shock. What did we just see?

  It's a monster, and the monster is coming over! When it got closer, I saw that it was a dragon-headed human thing. "Y...you are...what are you?!", I spat out word by word as I stared at him, with his two whiskers floating in mid-air being the most eye-catching feature.

  "Dragon's Son Teasing the Wind." It said it so casually, as if knowing we would be shocked and gave us a buffer. I was stunned for a while with Shitian... "The stone dragon you just dealt with is me."

  I feel like I'm going to overturn... Are there really dragons in the world? Do those legendary ones really exist? I walked over and let it go for a circle... Unbelievably, it returned to its original position, "Really... are there dragons...?"

  "Hehe... everything is there, you just haven't seen it yet." It doesn't care about our current state, instead it keeps saying shocking things to us. Shitian and I are just newly acquainted chrysanthemums... isn't this meant to scare us?! Dragon... China's divine creature... how powerful must it be?!

  "...Was it you who brought us here?", Shitian asked, trembling, and saw that it nodded. "I didn't expect that person to be you...", it carefully examined me, making me feel a bit uncomfortable, the first time I saw a dragon... I was still not fully recovered from the shock.

  "What am I?", I don't understand, looking at it again and again, Shitian is also as perplexed as me...

  "Let me tell you a story...", the wind whispered as it came closer. We didn't resist and quietly listened to it say: "I am the third son of the dragon, but what you see is only one of my split souls... I'm here waiting for someone, and that someone is you." When it said this, its gaze fixed on me, making me feel a chill run down my spine.

  Split soul...? "Then what's your true form?"

  "I'll hand it over to you...", he continued after I interrupted him.

  "A thousand years ago, I was entrusted by my father king to come here and guard the Weak Water Pearl, which is this pearl. The Weak Water exists in the underworld. If it flows into the human world, it will flood all directions, and this pearl just happened to be brought to the human world..."

  "The weak water here is all emitted by this pearl, do you know who brought out this pearl back then? Hmph!" The "hmmph" was bitten off heavily.

  "Who is Xiong?" I didn't know any of these things, all I could do was look at Shitian.

  "One of the ancient gods of old...", but instead of Shitian, it was Chao Feng who replied. Shitian, who had originally intended to speak up, closed his mouth and listened to Chao Feng's words instead.

  "This bead fell here and is also related to the tomb owner. In the year of the great war between Huangdi and Chiyou, the heart was heavier and the world was chaotic, but it was recovered by Fuxi and Nüwa. However, this bead was left over at that time and was obtained by Huangdi."

  "Are you saying that this tomb is of the Yellow Emperor?" Listening and listening, I feel like I've connected the dots.

  "Not...". I saw it shaking its head.

  "Who is that?" It makes me very uncomfortable to say or not to say...

  "Who is it? She's someone you know..."

  "Who do I know? Don't be so coy!", I couldn't take it anymore, my curiosity was piqued. Who do I know? Would the person I know be from thousands of years ago?

  "That year... I was sent to guard this pearl also in order to wait for you on behalf of the tomb owner. She said that you would appear later, and you would see her with your own eyes. And this pearl should belong to you too."

  "Why... I feel like I didn't understand anything... You mean that pearl is for me? And the tomb owner, I know him?", Weak Water Pearl... such a good thing...

  "Yes...", said Feng with a simple and direct tone, I felt that all of this happening to me was quite unexpected.

  I saw Chao Feng wave his hand at the bead, and it flew over to hover in his palm. His lips moved as if he was muttering something, but we couldn't hear a thing. Then I saw him withdraw his hand, and the bead floated towards me. I stared blankly at this scene.

  I stared at the teasing wind... it had an indifferent expression. The bead floated towards my forehead, what's this? I felt like my forehead was being moistened by water, that refreshing feeling resonated throughout my body.

  "Th...th...", I was so shocked that I didn't know what to say, staring at Chao Feng, did he really give it to me?

  "This bead possesses extraordinary power, secrets that you will know later. I'll send you up soon, my mission is accomplished, and I should return to where we belong." Chao Feng said as he turned his head towards the cave entrance.

  "Where do you belong? Who is the owner of this tomb?", I stopped him.

  "Go see for yourself, as for where I belong and how to make you understand? Another era? Hehe, besides... sometimes heaven's secrets can't be told. You'll soon find out the wonderful use of this pearl...". Just as I was about to ask him something, he transformed into a stone dragon, grabbed us and flew towards the shore.

  "Another era? What does that mean?" At this moment, the Whirlwind had already brought us back to the shore. I stood with Shengteng, looking at its current appearance - a gigantic stone dragon coiled in mid-air, two dragon whiskers floating and fluttering about...

  "You'll know later, some things are not to be said... Ah, those friends of yours just now have all been knocked unconscious by me, they're over there." I looked in the direction he was pointing and saw that Lü Si Jian and his group were lying on the ground.

  "Uh..."

  "I should go... You must take good care of this weak water bead, go, the person in the grave is someone you must see...". I hadn't finished speaking when Chao Feng interrupted me, seeing it standing upright and letting out a loud roar. The weak water from the river gathered upwards to envelop it... A thick column of water stood before our eyes... After the column of water disappeared, Chao Feng strangely vanished without a trace?

  I stared at Shitian in confusion... how did he leave? or where did he go again?
