Wonderful Painting of the Mountains and Seas 30

Was this the white tiger? Xie Xi still remembered the white tiger cub who called him 'Mummy' before. Jiang Xie said it was the baby spirit of White Tiger so it was very innocent. This one…

"Ahhh…" The jasmine was in pain. "The rabbit bites!"

Xie Xi determined that this wasn't the baby spirit. It was White Tiger as a cub. Xie Xi glanced at the jasmine's injury and determined the child's teeth couldn't hurt anyone. He told the jasmine, "Don't touch him. He isn't a rabbit."

The jasmine rubbed the back of her hand in a distraught manner. "However, he is white and his ears p.r.i.c.k up… ah, his ears aren't long enough!"

Thankfully, the little jasmine finally realized the difference between a white rabbit and white tiger.

Houqing in Xie Xi's arms looked at the white tiger curiously, his eyes wide as he whispered, "That is his mother?"

Xie Xi also saw that Little White Tiger was protecting the big white tiger. Unfortunately, the big white tiger was seriously injured and on the verge of death.

Xie Xi handed Houqing to the jasmine and slowly walked over. "Your mother is hurt. Can I help check that she's okay?"

It was unknown if Little White Tiger understood or not. He kept baring his teeth, ears p.r.i.c.ked high as he issued a warning sound.

If he wasn't so small, this appearance would be really scary but… he was too small and cute that people couldn't be afraid.

Xie Xi didn't want to stimulate him anymore. He stayed in a safe position, lowered his posture and carefully explained, "Your mother is bleeding. If she isn't treated, she will be in a lot of pain. I won't hurt her. Let me see her injuries, okay?"

Little White Tiger's demeanour slightly relaxed but he still refused to step aside.

At this time, the big white tiger let out a groan. Little White Tiger turned anxiously to look at her. The big tiger's eyelids moved and she saw Xie Xi. "You are… from the flower family?"

The white tiger could talk. This relieved Xie Xi since they could communicate. He quickly replied, "Yes, we came from the flower world. Are you injured? Can I take a look?"

The white tiger told him, "I won't last long. You don't need to worry about me." She coughed intermittently. "Can you take my child away?"

Little White Tiger screamed at the big tiger. He was still fierce but his eyes were full of grievances.

The big white tiger told him, "Good boy, you have to live."

Little White Tiger was anxious. He couldn't talk and could only scream. His tone was tough, as if saying, 'I don't want to leave. You won't die!' He was like a rebellious teenager, domineering and distressing.

Xie Xi stated, "Maybe I can treat your injury."

The spirit of the big white tiger was becoming worse. "I have lived my life and was relieved when picking up this little guy. I was originally worried about his safety but now that I see you…" Her voice was becoming smaller and smaller and was about to disappear. "Please let him grow up."

Originally, the big white tiger wasn't this cub's mother. She just picked him up. Nevertheless, it was clear that their relations.h.i.+p had long become a real mother and son.

Xie Xi wanted to keep talking but the white tiger closed her eyes. She seemed to make a wish as her body slowly disappeared and finally became a white star, vanis.h.i.+ng into the air.

The big white tiger had died.

Little White Tiger stood in the same place, little claws stretched forward as he was unable to catch the scattered starbursts.

Suddenly, all the strength supporting him vanished. His vertical ears fell and his eyes closed as he fainted to the ground. Once the defense was gone, Little White Tiger's soft hair fell and his stiff body softened. His lowered ears made him look like a plush toy.

Xie Xi was inevitably distressed and he carefully held the pa.s.sed out Little White Tiger in his arms.

Houqing saw this and asked, "What happened to him?"

Xie Xi touched the little belly and sighed. "He is hungry."

These two little ones really could endure. It was unknown how long Little White Tiger had protected his mother. The white tiger wanted him to leave but he refused. Despite knowing the big white tiger's life couldn't be saved, he refused to give up on her.

All cubs couldn't bear hunger. Children lived by instinct and hunger was something that even adults couldn't suppress if they wanted to survive.

In order to not leave the flower world, Houqing would rather be hungry.

In order to protect his dying mother, Little White Tiger endured for a long time with a strong perseverance that was beyond imagination.

The souls were different but their natures were generally the same. Their tenacity was amazing.

Xie Xi asked the jasmine, "Do you have any goat's milk on you?" He didn't know what a white tiger should eat and decided to give some milk first.

The little jasmine hurriedly replied, "Yes!" Houqing had previously almost starved and the flowers were now very cautious, always carrying around goat's milk or even rice porridge.

Xie Xi coaxed Little White Tiger to drink a can of milk and let go of his worries once he saw the white tiger sleeping sweetly.

Thus, the flower world had one human and a tiger.

The flowers generally looked the same as Little Houqing after the transformation so their curiosity to Houqing was much lower. White Tiger was different. This little guy was born too different and the flowers were very interested.

“He's so hairy."

"Yes, his hair is as white as snow."

"Do you think it will feel as cold as snow?"

"Try and touch it!"

The flowers touched one by one. Little White Tiger's sleep was too heavy and he didn't react to them.

Xie Xi thought of the violent temper of the third child and felt funny now that he was being bullied by flowers.

His eyebrows curved and Little Houqing in his arms looked closer. Now this person didn't understand what it meant to be jealous of a white tiger. Little Houqing only had one thought in his head. As long as this person was happy, everything was good.

Once Little White Tiger woke up, the flower world was full of fun. This little guy wasn't Houqing and wasn't born to understand what quite meant.

The flowers poked him and the tiger sprang up and bit. The flowers could be repaired. Even if they weren't able to avoid the movement of this fierce (cute) tiger, their skin was thick and they weren't afraid of being bitten.

Little White Tiger biting them was just a tickle. They didn't get angry and even giggled as they stole a few tiger hairs.

Xie Xi happily watched from the sidelines. He really wanted to find a video recorder to record this wonderful moment (black history).

Little Houqing saw the smile and Xie Xi asked him, "Would you like to play?"

Little Houqing immediately shook his head. Xie Xi rea.s.sured him, "Don't be afraid and go. Little White Tiger's skin is very thick and there is no need to be afraid of curses."

Little Houqing looked up at him with worry. Xie Xi asked him, "Don't you believe me?"

Little Houqing hurriedly replied, "I believe you!"

"Then go and play."

This was also excellent. Little White Tiger was too noisy and Little Houqing was too quiet. The two of them neutralized each other.

Once Little White Tiger adapted to life in the flower world, Xie Xi gave instructions to the flowers and couldn't help going to sleep.

He had a hunch that he would sleep for a long time but once he woke up and saw the taller Houqing and bigger White Tigger, he was stunned.

Xie Xi asked, "How long have I been sleeping?"

Little Houqing's voice was full of thoughts. "350 days."

Xie Xi, "…." This was almost a year!

He hurriedly pulled Little Houqing over. "I have slept for too long."

Little Houqing had become more sensible. "Sleep is very important. Your Excellency should have a good rest."

"I don't want to sleep for too long. Once I fall asleep, I will wake up soon. Next time I will control it."

Little Houqing wanted to talk again but the left out Little White Tiger snorted. Xie Xi looked over and reached out. "Little White, come over."

Little White Tiger turned his head and didn't move. Xie Xi grabbed the white tiger. The tiger rubbed his head against Xie Xi's chest but didn't look up. He just stayed in Xie Xi's arms and even licked him.

Xie Xi felt funny. "How awkward."

Little White Tiger understood and his eyes stared in a dissatisfied manner. Little Houqing actually became his translator. "He said he missed you very much."

Xie Xi and White Tiger, "…"

Little Houqing smiled. "Isn't it?"

Little White Tiger screamed at Little Houqing. Little Houqing was unmoved and translated, "He said that he missed you very much and… um… became fatter."

Little White Tiger blew up, his paws desperately wanting to fight with Little Houqing. Little Houqing wasn't afraid at all as he moved closer to Xie Xi. "He isn't honest."

Xie Xi laughed as he felt amused at these two living treasures.

The days in the flower world pa.s.sed leisurely and comfortably. There were the carefree flowers, the small adult like Houqing and the arrogant White Tiger. Xie Xi sat on the sidelines and felt comfortable.

He obviously slept for so long yet he was tired after seven or eight days.

This day, the little jasmine ran over and shouted, "Lord Flower G.o.d! Little White Tiger left the flower world!"

Xie Xi was shocked and hurriedly asked, "What about Houqing?"

The daisy also ran over. "Houqing chased after him."

The two little ones went outside. Xie Xi quickly got up to find them.

The world outside the flower world was becoming bigger and bigger. The Holy Mountain that Xie Xi first thought was strange had increased in scale and style.

Xie Xi was somehow dizzy for a moment. The magnolia sensed it and suggested, "Your Excellency, go back and rest if you are tired. We will find them."

Xie Xi's heart wasn't steady and he waved his hand. "It doesn't matter. I will go and see."

He still had some mana left. He concentrated it and soon found the two little ones. However, he was startled when he found them and arrived in front of them in almost an instant. The flowers had no idea what was going on. They blinked and the flower G.o.d disappeared.

He was at the place where the big white tiger died. Little White Tiger looked fierce as he rushed towards a ma.s.s of black fog.

Houqing followed him nervously. "You can't beat it."

Little White Tiger didn't listen. Hatred filled his eyes and he wanted to tear this black fog to pieces!

Houqing anxiously told him, "There is no way. You will be eaten by it like your mother…"

These words undoubtedly provoked Little White Tiger. He actually pounced his small body towards the monster that killed his mother!

Xie Xi moved and saved Little White Tiger. He glanced at the black fog and felt numb when he saw the dense, serrated teeth.

Little Houqing exclaimed, "Lord Flower G.o.d!"

Xie Xi picked up the two cubs and left quickly.

What was that? Xie Xi didn't know there were such monsters in the Holy Mountain and Demon Sea in later generations. Was that the thing that hurt the big white tiger? Then Little White Tiger ran out to get revenge?

This was really something that the third child would do. He was really too reckless. How big was the monster? Pouncing on it was simply going to death!

Xie Xi returned to the flowers. Once the flowers saw the flower G.o.d's bleeding arm, they were stunned silly.

They… never knew… the flower G.o.d could actually be hurt. Xie Xi ordered, "Return to the flower world!"

The group returned and the flowers rushed forward to stop Xie Xi's bleeding. Little White Tiger stayed on the sidelines, staying up without blinking.

Xie Xi saw him and felt a strange heartache. His scolding words didn't emerge and he finally only said, "You want to avenge your mother, this is understandable. However, you have to consider your own strength. Why do you want to die? Did your mother save you just for you to die?"

Little White Tiger looked at Xie Xi's wounded arm and emotions raged in his eyes.

Xie Xi sighed. "Don't worry. Grow up well and work hard so that you have the power to protect your precious people."

Wonderful Painting of the Mountains and Seas 31

Xie Xi's wound recovered very slowly. The magnolia was worried all day long but didn't dare say anything. Xie Xi heard their private conversation.

The jasmine told the magnolia, "Sister Magnolia, why is Lord Flower G.o.d injured?"

Listening to this tone, it seemed that the flower G.o.d had never been hurt.

The daisy was also nervous. "This time he slept a bit long."

The magnolia shook her head. "Don't tell about it. Lord Flower G.o.d is a G.o.d and nothing will happen." Based on her tone, it didn't seem like nothing.

Xie Xi himself didn't have much feeling. He didn't know much about the previous flower G.o.d and he was a person. He felt that this flower G.o.d's body was very good. There were no problems apart from sleeping for a bit long.

Of course, Xie Xi also didn't care much. He thought about it and knew that the flower G.o.d certainly had a problem. After all, in the future, the flower G.o.d had died or… was sleeping.

Thanks to this incident, Little White Tiger became honest. As if he had grown up overnight, he started to eat meat and ran many laps around the sea of flowers every day. This was because Xie Xi told him that moderate exercise could strengthen his body. As for how to calculate the right amount, it was when he felt tired or was sweating. Thus, Little White Tiger ran from morning to night, from late to early…

Xie Xi hurriedly stopped him. "Aren't you tired?"

Little White Tiger didn't gasp much. He blinked his big eyes and didn't look tired at all.

Xie Xi could only change his mouth. "The most you can run in one day… three hours…" Normal people were tired after an hour but the tiger obviously wasn't a normal person. It was okay for him to run all day and night and the basic exercise amount was six hours.

Little White Tiger made a disappointed sound and Houqing translated for him. "He said he will be obedient."

This false translation Little White Tiger was clearly full of reluctance! The tiger stared at him.

Xie Xi's eyes curved as he touched the two small heads. "Yes, isn't it good to leave some time to accompany me?"

This worked and both of them nodded in a well-behaved manner. Every day, they ran around and eat before coming to Xie Xi's side. Xie Xi also taught them things about the outside of the flower world.

Little Houqing was a curious child and asked, "What type of place is the Holy Mountain and the Demon Sea?"

Xie Xi felt that words were too lacking and took a pen and paper to draw them. His magic painting technique was simply fantastic when it came to coaxing the children.

The pen drew the splendid mountains and rivers and the two pairs of small eyes widened.

Little White Tiger couldn't speak and could only touch with his little meat pads. Little Houqing acted as a brother and hit his hand. "Be careful not to damage it."

The Little White Tiger fiercely growled at him. Houqing translated for White Tiger. "He said he knows he is wrong."

Xie Xi smiled and ending up drawing a crooked tree because of their actions. In fact, Xie Xi felt ti was a bit strange. Little Houqing had never been outside and it was reasonable for him to be amazed by these things. However, Little White Tiger had been living outside for a long time. Why did he seem so surprised? Unfortunately, White Tiger couldn't speak or ask.

The days pa.s.sed quickly. Xie Xi spent half a year in the flower world, drawing pictures for the two little children. They grew very fast as they ate and slept well. Xie Xi unwittingly used a thick stack of paper.

This day, the jasmine and daisy ran into the house with a tray in their hands. "Lord Flower G.o.d, we made something good!"

Xie Xi was somewhat sleepy and fought to keep his eyelids open. "Hmm?"

The jasmine and daisy pulled back the silk covering the tray and presented the thing inside. "We looked for Brother Peony, Brother Plum Blossom and Sister Magnolia to help bind your paintings into a book!"

Xie Xi's heart jumped as he glanced over. "Bound into a book?"

The jasmine handed it over. "With a small spell, the paintings were narrowed and put together. This is much more convenient."

Xie Xi was mentally prepared but he was still stunned when he saw the G.o.d's wisdom.

The daisy told him, "When you want to look at one, zoom in. If you don't want to look, you can put it away. Isn't it convenien…. Lord Flower G.o.d!" He exclaimed before he finished his words.

Xie Xi stared at the G.o.d's wisdom and became dizzy. He tried to open his eyes but couldn't as his body fell down.

As his vision blurred, he heard the screams of the jasmine and daisy. He wanted to comfort them and say that he was just sleepy but unfortunately, he couldn't open his mouth.

There was another long sleep before Xie Xi opened his eyes. He felt his dry lips and throat.

"Lord Flower G.o.d, you're awake!"

Xie Xi was somewhat stunned by this voice. It seemed to come from the dairy but it was mature instead of the juvenile tone. Xie Xi turned and saw that the daisy had grown into a young person.

“I…" Xie Xi frowned before asking hoa.r.s.ely. "How long did I sleep?"

The daisy was nervous. "You slept for more than five years."

Xie Xi, ".." This wasn't sleeping. It was being vegetative for five years!

Oh, a flower was originally a plant and he became a vegetable. This joke was too cold and Xie Xi was frozen by himself.

There were footsteps and Xie Xi saw the grown Houqing and White Tiger. The youth and tiger saw that he was awake and their eyes turned red.

Xie Xi was upset. He said he would take care of them. As a result, he woke up and they had grown so big.

"You…" He sighed. "I fell asleep again."

Little Houqing shook his head and went forward. "It doesn't matter. Getting a good rest is the most important thing."

He had grown up and his voice wasn't as soft. Still, the clear and juvenile was very beautiful. Xie Xi smiled at him before touching the head of Little White Tiger. "You have also grown up."

Little White Tiger could actually talk now. "Of course, I run and eat every day!"

Xie Xi was stunned. In the past five years, the tiger learnt how to speak. Xie Xi smiled. "You are strong and can speak. You don't need Houqing to translate for you."

Little White Tiger scoffed at the reference to 'childhood' matters. "He couldn't understand at all."

Xie Xi told him, "Why do I think he translated very well?"

Little White Tiger, "…" The grumpy child didn't refute it. This was enough to see how much he missed Xie Xi in these five years.

Xie Xi slept but he didn't forget the pre-sleep things. He glanced at the daisy and requested, "Give me the G.o.d… give me the picture book."

The daisy didn't know why Xie Xi wanted to see the picture book as soon as he woke up but this was an order and the dairy hurried to get it. Xie Xi reached out and felt the old paintings book.

The daisy mentioned, "Houqing and White Tiger flip through it every day so…"

Xie Xi nodded. "It's fine, it was originally painted for them."

Xie Xi opened the book and stared at the vivid paintings inside. Then he asked White Tiger, "Do you remember when you were a child?"

Little White Tiger nodded. "I remember."

"What did your home look like before?"

Little White Tiger paused before speaking in a tense voice. "It was dark and there were those types of monsters everywhere… if I didn't have Mother, I would've been eaten by them."

Dark…

Xie Xi clearly remembered the place where he met the two tigers was a forest with lush foliage and a good environment.

Little White Tiger continued, "Then one day, the sky became light, many things appeared out of thin air and these monsters slowly disappeared."

Xie Xi wondered, "Appeared out of thin air?"

In fact, he had an answer in his mind but he still listened to the tiger. "They are the things that you drew."

Sure enough… Xie Xi stroked the book and had a general outline of matters. Outside the flower world was chaos. There was no Holy Mountain and Demon Sea. Xie Xi drew the outside world with his sketches.

Was this the meaning of Wonderful Painting of the Mountains and Seas? The Holy Mountain and Demon Sea were drawn by the flower G.o.d?

This was very contradictory, like whether a chicken came before an egg or an egg came before a chicken. In the end, was the flower G.o.d a little rose from the future or was the little rose from the future the present flower G.o.d?

This was an unsolved ring. Jiang Xie had told him, 'Don't be bound by time. There is no limit between the past and the present.'

Xie Xi understood and also didn't understand. The human way of thinking limited his understanding of time. Even if he used himself as a reference, he couldn't understand this non-linear time.

Still, now wasn't the time to think about it. He had more important things. Xie Xi asked the two little ones. "Would you like to go out with me to take a look?"

Their eyes brightened and they nodded in unison.

Xie Xi smiled. "Let's go and see what is outside."

He had painted many scenes of the Holy Mountain and Demon Sea but it was impossible to cover all the details.

Perhaps there was no need for him to draw all the details. He just had to build the frame and the flesh would grow on its own.

Just like humans, wasn't the most sophisticated 'machine' in the world grown from a fertilized egg?

Even if he only drew one-tenth of a millionth of the world, the world would perfect itself to 100%, just like a quasi-world designed by a designer.

Xie Xi brought Houqing and White Tiger as well as a lot of flowers.

The flowers were also curious about the outside world. Xie Xi told them, "Those who want to come out can follow."

The magnolia warned him, "Lord Flower G.o.d, you are being too indulgent with them. They will become lawless!"

Xie Xi smiled and didn't say anything.

This time, Xie Xi paid special attention to the outside world. In fact, it didn't require verification but he couldn't help wanting to see it.

They were walking through a forest when Houqing's eyes widened. "This tree…"

Xie Xi glanced over and his eyes flashed. The white tiger jumped up with surprise. "It is the tree you painted."

That's right, this was Xie Xi's tree that became crooked due to his hands shaking. This tree proved that all of this was painted by Xie Xi.

Xie Xi told the White Tiger, "There are many trees like this. It is just an accident."

It was better not to let them know about this incredible thing. The flowers didn't know anything and looked confused. The two children had doubts but didn't ask again.

Xie Xi took this trip not just to see the outside world. It was also to…

The jasmine cried out, "What is this worm always following us?"

Xie Xi didn't take it seriously. The worm couldn't attack the flowers since the Little White Tiger would kill it.

"Jasmine, you're blind. This isn't a green worm, it's a snake!"

Xie Xi heard this and didn't think much. The souls absolutely weren't a snake…

"Does a snake have claws? There are also two small bags on top of its head."

Xie Xi, "!!!"

He quickly turned back and saw the tragic creature being picked up. This worm or snake was Sage Azure Dragon!

Little Azure Dragon looked pitiful, his indigo eyes blinking in an innocent and confused manner.

Xie Xi hurriedly picked him up. "He is a dragon, an azure dragon."

The jasmine was dazed. "What is an azure dragon?"

Xie Xi stared at the little guy in front of him and found it difficult to explain how he might become domineering in the future.

White Tiger also asked, "Can we eat it?"

Xie Xi, "……"

After hitting him, Xie Xi exclaimed, "He is your brother!"

In Atlantis, White Tiger was the third prince and Azure Dragon was the fourth prince. They were indeed brothers.

White Tiger scoffed. "My brother should also be a white tiger."

Xie Xi stared at him. "He will be your younger brother in the future. Don't bully your brother when he is small."

Houqing was different and replied quickly. "I will take care of my brothers."

White Tiger blew up again. "Who is your brother?"

Houqing ignored him and turned towards Xie Xi. "Lord Flower G.o.d, White Tiger isn't my brother?"

Xie Xi, "…" Little Houqing, this angel was a bit black-bellied.

Poor Little Azure Dragon couldn't talk and could only wrap himself around Xie Xi's wrist.

Xie Xi felt itchy and intimate as he touched the small bags on his head. "Don't be afraid. I'll take care of you in the future."

Okay, who made him boast that he would give Jiang Xie a brand new childhood?

Both of them were his child versions and he couldn't say that Jiang Xie's childhood was a bit too much.

Xie Xi was a man who did as he promised.

He couldn't feel reluctant to see Little Azure Dragon. The souls were treated equally and none of them would lack anything.

As for Nine Tails who said he had never seen the flower G.o.d… how did he become Houqing's brother?

It was estimated that something had happened midway. In any case, he didn't believe that he couldn't find Little Nine Tails.

They soon met.

The jasmine always had a strange perspective. "Wow, who is so wasteful to lose 10 scarfs?"

Xie Xi, "…" Wait, why was it 10?

Xie Xi looked over and found that the silver fox was too small while his tails were too big. His body also looked like a scarf!

The jasmine was happy. "Lord Flower G.o.d, can I take a scarf back?"

He was afraid that the jasmine really would pull off a fox tail and picked up the little fox. "He isn't a scarf. He is a fox, a nine tailed fox."

Little Nine Tails was sleeping and didn't feel much from being picked up. He just turned over and continued to sleep.

Perhaps there were too many tails that consumed a lot of energy. His body couldn't bear it and he had to sleep more, just like Xie Xi slept for five years.

The harvest on this trip was very fruitful but White Tiger wasn't happy. "This scarf won't be my brother, right?"

Houqing told him, "You are the same colour. Isn't this your brother?"

This logic was really hard. Little White Tiger froze for a long time but unexpectedly couldn't refute it.

Xie Xi was still looking for the last little one. This time, it wasn't discovered by the jasmine. The little sleeping fox suddenly opened his eyes and rushed out like lightning.

He was so fast that Xie Xi couldn't catch him. A moment later, Nine Tails strolled back with a chick in his mouth…

"Chirp… let me go… you stinking fox… I'm telling you, I'm not a chicken, chirp…"

What was this? Vermilion Bird was treated as a chicken?
