章 2197: Sky of Linglong

編集者: Millman97

It was a peaceful journey to the Great Displacement Teleportation Formation, so there was no God King to deliver dinner to Little Chick and provide him with free weapons and pills.

To be honest, Zhang Xuan was a little disappointed by that.

…

Roughly an hour later, he finally arrived at Linglong Royal City.

Sky of Linglong, whose name was derived from the phrase 'Linglong Heart of Seven Apertures¹', stood at the southwest of the Firmament, and its land was shaped like a seven-sided polygon. Its monarch, Fairy Linglong, was a female God Monarch.

Fairy Linglong was reputed to have a ravishing appearance that was unrivaled. Her cultivation had also reached a terrifying level, not paling in comparison with the powerful Cloud Dragon Monarch or Deathless Monarch at all.

A fallen flower parts from the tree on its own volition, only to be swept away by the heartless river.

I wanted to talk about this phrase so I'll put it here.

This phrase is actually quite an interesting Chinese metaphor.

It depicts a flower to have intentionally fallen into a river so as to court it, only to be swept away mercilessly by the river.

There are a few interpretations to this phrase (with the second version being more common).

1) It depicts the river as a heartless person who turns down the flower each time it tries to get close to it.

2) It can also be viewed as the hardship of a hidden crush. The flow of the river is something that is natural, so each time the flower tries to get close to it, the dense river would simply sweep it away subconsciously.

Aiyo, I don't know why but I like this phrase so much huehuehue.
