Twenty-seven: where my heart is
What is the experience of Zhulonghuang?
Maybe he was standing at the top of his birth and looking proudly at the sky?
In the past, Zhao Aotian probably thought so.
But the fact is the exact opposite.
"I didn't achieve this achievement from the beginning. At the beginning, I was just born in a dungeon and had only 5 attributes in the battle of Wuslag Dragon."
Zheng Gan sighed and told Zhao Aotian in detail about his life in the dungeon for half a year.
Although some unnecessary content has been modified or deleted, Zheng Gan still told the overall story without missing a single word.
Since he recognized Zhao Aotian as his friend, Zheng Gan has always wanted to tell him about his past.
Unexpectedly, on this occasion, I would confide in him with this opportunity.
Zhao Aotian was initially interested.
But as he listened, he couldn't help but feel a little shocked.
After Zhulong Emperor finished talking about the battle of Leviathan, Zhao Aotian was already stunned.
After a long time, he lowered his head: "I didn't expect you to have such an experience."
Zhulong Emperor also snorted a little sadly: "It's all in the past."
When my nanny and four siblings died, I was the same as you, and I felt extremely uncomfortable.
But how can the environment like dungeon give you time to shed tears? Just survival requires all your strength.
But sometimes I still think of them.
If I had enough strength to protect them at that time, I would have lived a much happier life now than I am now, right?"
Zhao Aotian lowered his head and looked at his sloppy reflection in the stream: "It's all because he has no strength."
"Yes, because there is no power."
Zhulong Emperor said: "But we all survived. If there is no power to make us lose our relatives in the past, then the best way to make up for it is to protect our relatives now after we get the power."
"Ha." Zhao Aotian laughed dryly: "You are a dragon. You are born with faster growth speed, more effective growth efficiency, and higher growth space.
I am a human.
I understand that you gave me the blood of the Zhulong to break the limitations of human beings.
The battle with Xiao Bi gave me the deepest feeling: humans are humans after all, and there are countless powerful people in this world that we have never met.
So what if I can make a breakthrough alone? So many people in this world, do I have to rely on me alone?
Humans are just humans.”
Zhao Aotian's dejected look made Zheng Gan feel a little sad for him.
"You weren't like this before."
"That's right."
"The Zhao Aotian I know is a human who dares to fight against the demon gods, and can make me bleed."
Zhao Aotian's bitter smile revealed a hint of sadness: "Maybe I was like this before.
But I'm really tired now."
As he said that, Zhao Aotian looked up at the sky and said after a long time, "Go back, Zhulong Emperor, thank you for coming to accompany me, but I just want to be alone now."
There was no glory in his eyes.
Things like fighting spirit have long been exhausted with the revenge.
Zheng Gan knew this way just by taking a look: his soul was no longer in his body.
If it were the past, Zheng Gan would definitely turn around and leave at this time, respect his ideas, right?
but……
"I won't leave."
Zhulong Emperor shouted in a decisive voice: "Zhao Aotian, you are the only human being who has made me bleeding, you will not be defeated here."
"So so what? I'm just a weak person who can't even protect a girl."
"You're never a weak person."
"I am not a weak person, what am I?!"
Without any warning, Zhao Aotian suddenly roared: "You and I have so many similar experiences, but you have succeeded, and I am still so weak.
What am I not a weak person?
With strength, you can no longer experience the lost you, how can you understand my feelings without strength?
You have the power to despise all living beings with high esteem and you don’t have to live a frightened life anymore.
But what about me? From childhood to adulthood, I almost lost everything in order to gain strength. I thought I had enough strength to properly pursue the feeling I got.
But in the end, it was still empty.
I have no desires, I have lost everything, I have contributed so much, but why...
...Even such a small wish cannot be allowed."
At this point, Zhao Aotian was already crying.
His emotions were completely broken.
A top warrior who can't cry without even having his hands and feet on the battlefield, even his head off, is crying like a helpless child.
Tears kept dripping into the stream and drowned in the water.
Zheng Qian did not continue speaking.
Cry.
A man doesn’t cry easily, but he hasn’t reached the sad place.
Just cry.
“Growth is always accompanied by pain.”
Zheng Qian stretched out his hand and gently patted his back.
Zhao Aotian cried like a suffocation, constantly muttering the name that had left him forever.
It took him a long time until sunset and dusk that he gradually calmed down.
Looking at his crying and red-eyed look, Zheng Qian smiled and stood up.
"Zheng Qian asked me to tell you, you are not here recently, and he is almost busy. Kota is coming tomorrow. He said he can't handle it alone."
"I won't come." Zhao Aotian said with a little sob.
But Zhulong Emperor smiled and said, "I don't care about this. He said he is waiting for you in Yuelailou, and you will wait until twelve o'clock noon at the latest."
"I said I won't come."
"He knew you said that, I just gave him a message. As for whether to go or not, you should consider it yourself."
Zhulonghuang paused and continued, "But he said he believed you would definitely come."
After saying that, Zheng Qian turned around, opened the space to transfer, and left the place.
In the bamboo forest, Zhao Aotian sat alone by the stream.
Looking at myself in the stream.
In a trance, Zhao Aotian seemed to vaguely hear the sound of his longing day and night.
【Aotian ~】
...The next day...
In front of Yuelai Building.
"Do you think he will come?" Zheng Sepi asked curiously.
"From the intuition passed down from generation to generation, it may not be." Kachesky looked in the mirror and carefully cared about the mustache he had accumulated by imitating his father.
Zheng Qian, who was standing in front of the team, did not answer.
But the face was full of confidence.
In early summer, as the temperature gradually rises at noon, the scenery at the end of the street gradually becomes distorted by the hot air.
Zheng Qian took a look at the time and it was exactly twelve o'clock.
Looking up.
"Look, isn't he here?"
Everyone looked at it when they heard the sound.
At the end of the twisted street, a man's vicissitudes of life were walking towards this side as he was moving forward.
Zheng Qian smiled slightly.
"Old Zhao, welcome back."
