[ he is also smiling fondly now. absolutely disgusting. ]

He is, even if he pretends not to be. Has he told you the legend behind his nickname?

In the Heavens, they call San Lang either "Hua Cheng", or "Crimson Rain Sought Flower" - Xue Yu Tan Hua.

The legend goes that he eliminated the nest of a terrible, evil wrath level ghost, full of creatures of all kinds of cruelty. San Lang attacked it and destroyed it, and the carnage was said to be so great, that he made crimson rain fall from the sky in the form of blood.

[ he's clearly enjoying telling this story. ] The nest was in a large forest. As the fearsome Crimson Rain walked through the forest to go on his way, he spotted a single white flower, tucked in the roots of a tree. As the blood continued to fall overhead, he knelt down, and opened a red paper umbrella over himself and the flower, protecting the white petals from getting wet with even a single drop of blood rain.

Thus the name - "Crimson Rain Sought Flower."

I wasn't there, but I would believe it. San Lang always seems to have had a special fondness for white flowers - he has them often.

[ welcome to team why are they like this ]

Even in the heavens, it's considered to be a fairly romantic story. And they're terrified of him! When I first learned of him, I was told all of the gossip that surrounds him - the Heavens can't even decide all at once on where he came from. I haven't known him that long, so even I don't really know what's true or not... but I trust that he'll tell me eventually, if it's important.

He really does like flowers, though. It's sweet. And his butterflies are cute, even if they're deadly. [ that's. ok. ] Things like that really reflect his true nature, I think.

Mmn. Well, maybe - he's a bit like a hedgehog, or maybe a particularly fussy cat. They can be quite sharp, but... with the right person, as soft as can be. Though, really, his confidence and strength are just as impressive.

[ aaah....

anyway, xie lian seems to realize something, and waves his hands. ]


Oh -- I'm not sure if he'll be embarrassed, or not, that I've said such things... Swan, you will keep this between us, yes? I wouldn't want to ruin his reputation...


[ it's already ruined beyond repair it was ruined like five weeks ago when hc started adopting teenagers. ]

[ relief!! xie lian smiles at them. ]

Thank you. You know, Swan, you really are very easy to talk to. I'm glad that I was able to get to speak with you a little bit more today.

[ he made a friend!!!! ]
