387: My Name is White Lotus (Drafted 2/19)

Two-Winged Fire and Ice Serpent: This human feels strange and she smells good, maybe being her friend will be a good choice.

Crowd: Girl, you want to be friends with the two-winged fire and ice serpent? Are you sure you weren’t sent here to mess with us?

“Be your friend? Well I like your aura, so OK, we can be friends.” The snake nodded this way and that, before agreeing easily.

“Fuck! Really?!”

“Something’s got to be wrong with my eyes. I’m just going to close them for a second.”

“I can’t believe she succeeded!”

“If I’d known it was that easy, I’d have gone up, then I’d be friends with a super powerful holy-level beast!”

“Listen to this. I have to wonder if the girl is the legit darling of the world’s consciousness. How else can she be so lucky?!”

Had Ai Lin[notes] been there and seen it, she would have snorted. Darling of the world’s consciousness? I’ll tell you who that is. It’s Zi Cheng!”

“Then, we’re friends. What’s your name?” Feng Wu, who’d made a new friend, was quite happy. She tossed out several pieces of fried chicken legs and steamed meat buns to the serpent as she talked.

The serpent looked at the bits and pieces she tossed his way. He tilted his head to the side as he sniffed the fragrance. It was something he had never smelled before. It was so enticing. A voice in his head sounded saying things like, “Eat it quickly, eat it quickly!” They looped continuously in his head.

With an, “Ah woo. . . ,” he took a big bite of the chicken leg. He was instantly won over by the taste. How could there be such delicious food? Its magical content was very low, but it was incredibly delicious!

Since she shared such deliciousness with him, he was willing to share his name with her.

“My name is White Lotus.” White Lotus proudly proclaimed.

The name was indeed powerful. A black serpent calling itself white. Can you even find a single white spot on its body? Can you? Why not call itself Black Lotus? The crowd silently mumbled to themselves.

Even Zo, who was relieved Feng Wu was not in danger, had the same thoughts as everyone else.

“Are you a girl?”

With a name like that, Feng Wu thought her new friend was a she.

“Your mama’s a girl! Your whole family’s girls.” White Lotus, who had always considered himself to be 100% pure, grade A male stock shot back.

“I am a girl!” Feng Wu agreed innocently.

Very good. White Lotus silently swallowed a mouthful of dried blood. What you said makes sense. I am speechless.

“I’m a guy, and don’t you forget it!” Whatever, as the superior person, I will just forgive her.

“But your name is White Lotus.” Feng Wu said seriously.

“What’s wrong with my name? Lotus is my favorite flower. There were two here originally, but I ate them, so now there are none.” White Lotus felt a little regretful as he thought about the two lotuses he ate. Now his friend would never get to see their beauty.

“Then why aren’t you called Black Lotus?” The magician next to them couldn’t help but ask out loud.

The question made White Lotus slap the ground with his tail.

It made everyone think he was going to do something big, but. . . that was all he did.

“How can Black Lotus be as beautiful as White Lotus?” White Lotus rolled his eyes and cast a contemptuous look at the magician. Clearly human aesthetics weren’t as good as beast aesthetics.

“But you’re definitely black!” Feng Wu stated.

Just like the dogs in the village; the white ones were Little White Doggies, and the black ones were called Little Black Doggies. The yellow ones were called Little Yellow Doggies or maybe Rhubarb. If something was a flower, then it would be Small Flower or Big Flower.

No one would have been so bored to call a black dog White Doggie and a white dog Black Doggie.

“I like the name White Lotus, so it's my name! You guys dare have a problem with it?!” His eyes were big and fierce; it was obviously a threat.

“No, no problem. White Lotus is a such good name. You’re a perfect match.”

“Yes, you have really good taste. Only such a tasteful name would suit you.”

“Yes, the name is simple yet ruthless. It’s a perfect match.”

Zo: . . .

Feng Wu: . . .

White Lotus was pleased. There were some discerning humans after all.

“Since you are a friend, this superior will accompany you to take a look.” White Lotus proudly stated.

“You’re so good White Lotus!” Feng Wu complimented him.

No way! Not good! Why did this guy want to come with? If he got angry, there was no way they’d be able to resist! The others did not agree with Feng Wu!

But what White Lotus decided could not be stopped. He grabbed the two trees and put them inside his holy beast dimensional space along with his mother’s dead body, which he stored away some time ago. He used to think leaving was impossible, but he changed his mind after seeing Feng Wu and the rui beast.

He might really be able to leave if he tagged along with them. His mother had been stuck for ten thousand years, but here he was only twenty, and he was about to accomplish what his mother could not. It was exciting!

Yes, it had only been twenty years since White Lotus was born. But don’t let his size fool you. Because he was born from the blood and strength of his mother, his starting point was higher than many naturally conceived holy beasts.

White Lotus’s mother had transferred all her strength to White Lotus before she died. Otherwise who knew how long it would actually take for White Lotus to be born. So even if White Lotus was only a toddler when compare to other beasts, he was still more than powerful enough to crush everyone in the group.
