Heavy Sweetness, Ash-like frost

Chapter 11.4: Where Does the Origin of Water Lie?

I was originally cold, being held by a snake I felt even colder, so I pushed away this snake.

The Flower Leader's eyebrows were actually standing upside down, she appeared to want to rebuke Master Pu Chi, but after seeing me push him away, her expression warmed.

Master Pu Chi fell back two steps, he clutched his heart and said, "My weak heart...."

The Water God's expression was profound and difficult to read in the midst of the descending snow, in the middle of his eyebrows there appeared to be a sadness like a deep lake, the depths of which cannot be measured, a snowflake melted on his cheeks, it melted into a drop of tear and slid down his cheek, he lightly opened his mouth, as if there were a thousand things to say but only a hundred languages, finally they culminated into one line, "Jin Mi has summoned this large storm of snow, what does Flower Leader Mu Dan think of this?" His voice seemed to choke.

The Flower Leader's face was shocked, as if someone had stolen ten thousand years of cultivation from her, but she closed her lips tightly and did not respond to the Water God's question. Master Pu Chi's face was deep in thought, it was rare to see that he has kept his usual smile from his face.

I could not be bothered with their secretive hinting to each other, I only felt extremely pleased, I a mere grape stem was now able to summon snow, the time for me to ascend into godhood must be soon!

The Flower Leader appeared to be uncomfortable by the stares of two pairs of eyes and finally said, "I am only a small flower goddess in the Flower World, does the Water God not know his own matters and require someone else to explain it to him?"

With this, the Water God's face seemed to be covered with a blush, after half a moment, he said, "At that time, Zi Fen and I......"

The Water God stopped midway and Master Pu Chi appeared to have realised an incredible secret, he made a respectful gesture to the Water God and indicated that he will be leaving. Before he left, he told me, "Jin Mi, my maiden, Yan You will cleanse himself and come visit you again." The Flower Leader glared at him.

After Master Pu Chi left, the Water God continued, "My feelings for Zi Fen, while our feelings were deep, our feelings developed only till the point that propriety permitted, we have never had any physical intimacy, so how could it.... but Jin Mi is able to summon the Water Gentleman Yan You, she can also summon snow, if she has no ability to control water, how can these be explained? In the whole heavens, besides me, only the dragon tribe is able to control water, yet Jin Mi calls herself a grape stem..." The Water God hesitated, he earnestly looked at the Flower Leader, "The only one who can solve this riddle is the Flower Leader. I seek guidance from Flower Leader Mu Dan."

The Flower Leader dejectedly let out a sigh, she lovingly swept away the grass stains on my robe sleeves, using a voice that almost could not be heard, "At first I thought Jin Mi's blur personality was her natural self, now I realised that there was an origin to it." She lifted up her head and looked at the Water God, "But it's no use for the Water God to ask me, Mu Dan has things she cannot speak of, the twenty four Flower Leaders have sworn to the Flower Goddess, if we leak out anything, we must destroy our own internal essence. We seek the Water God's understanding."

Hearing the Flower Leader's words, piecing everything together, to think that I was actually a descendant of the Flower Goddess!

The truth will always be shocking! I swallowed a few mouths of saliva and suddenly felt my head ring with pain.

Suddenly I saw that the figures of the Water God and Flower Leader were starting to shake, they started to shake into two, from two into four, more and more shadows started to shake in front of me causing me to become extremely dizzy, something seemed to be erupting in my stomach. With much effort I waved my hand at them, "Stop shaking, don't shake, my head... so dizzy, so painful..."
