Chapter 2: what is this and where am I 2

For some reasons, there was a deafning silence between them, well that didn't last long.

" Why the hell are you welcoming me....and you're floating.... What are you exactly? and where am I?" his face twisted in complete confusion.

The floating man chuckled softly, ignoring his questions. He said with a calm smile " I'm Lian Cheng"

The blood on his face drained as he looked on... it's weird, the floating man beside him appearance is different from his d.... Besides,ghosts are supposed to be eerie and evil, am I wrong? this man, he's so different from them.

For example, Lian an noticed that this man smiles alot and he has a cool temperament.

" you were seeked by me,Lian an" The floating man said so calmly with a smile playing on his lips.

The first thing that came out of his lips were. " Haha.... you got to be kidding, right? I woke up to a strange place with a dressed up freak telling me he seeked me.... Hahaha, very funny" Forgetting the fact that his name was mentioned.

The said "freak" just watched on calmly with a smile that never vanished from his lips.

'What's this all about..... I just don't know..... I died right? How is it possible?'

His eyes roamed the floating man up and down....

The floating man let out a sigh before speaking, still with a smile on his lips. " I understand"

"Why?"

" Eh" There was an hint of confusion on the floating man Jade like face.

" Why did you seek me?" Lian an voice was filled with all seriousness. ' perhaps, he tells me....' His thought trailed off when a low voice sounded beside his ears.

" I need your help" As the words came out of his lips, the atmospheric Aura flared up in dangerous heat.

Lian an felt it so well that he felt body turned cold.

" So how can I be of any help?" Lian an pulled all the little strength in him and direct it to his numb legs.

Lian an watched his struggles in silence, subconsciously, nodding his head in evident amusement " pain?" there was an hint of concern for the struggling man.

Pretending not to understand what he meant. " I don't have any pain in helping an hungry ghost, right? hahaha"

Lian Cheng nooded his head once more, before he clapped his iron cladded hand. The struggling man looked confuse as to why he clapped his hands,but decided to shrug it of.. Just until his eyes was met with something scarier than the corpse below him.

A huge blue Long emitting cold heat from its nose, standing beside the floating man.

It has a sinuous body covered in scales, with four legs and two horns. It was a composite of nine different creatures: camel's head; deer's horns; rabbit's eyes; cow's ears; snake's neck; frog's belly; carp's scales; hawk's claws and tiger's palm. There are traditional scales running along its spine. Its face has whiskers and a long beard that could reach the Netherlands. A symbol was at its hind leg. it's a great river fighting in the storm. It on its long tail was a beautiful bell, but it never made a sound as it wagged its tail playfully at its master.

technically, fear has taken over his weak body. Making it melt back to the ground with his buttocks.

"Woah, w-when d-did t-that g-get h-here?" pointing to the ferocious beast which was practically eyeing him up and down with its silver eyes before it growled at him.

The floating man chuckled softly." his name is Xiao"

The long stood proud and tall. It breathe

snow from its nose. And wow, With it just breathing once, the leftover fire everywhere extinguished.

" it seems like you don't know anything about longs,yet?" patting the long on its head with a fond smile on his face, before facing the man on a corpse. " Don't worry you will get to know more about them"

It's not like he doesn't know anything about longs, he hasn't seen one before." Are there more of them?"

"mn"

He felt a bust of excitement in him. ninty percent is very excited about everything,while the remaining ten percent is just scared of how everything will work. " So..." His words trailed off as he felt he was being lifted up by something with the collar of his clothes.

it was the long. He could properly see the color of its eyes being close to it. it was stormy and frosty.

" We'll talk later about it, but for now.... you need to be trained.... and you taking care of yourself properly" Lian Cheng talked with an hurried voice.

" Trained for what?"

" Trained to be a true Knight"

" What!"

" Xiao, you know what to do"

Xiao flinged him to his back before spreading its wings and flew away with him on his back.

" see you again, Lian an" said a smiling man in the middle of nowhere where corpses fill the earth like a carpet with a low voice
