Slair felt unusually embarrassed holding the thing in his hands. At that moment, Rhett heard the noise and ran over, 『AH! Is this from Robert, too? Damn Yig, how could he give such a dangerous thing to his pet! The safety design of this rod was based on the dragon’s body. How could he give it to humans to play with? 』

He took that thing over and tried to make it smaller. However, his action was far from experience and accidentally touched somewhere. The cylindrical object split in the middle, turning into two things connected by the root with many spikes growing.

『Simulation mode is active. Magic power is low. Please recharge!』

The familiar shape… reminded Slair of the strange sculpture he had seen in the temple and the description in the Book of Dragons, “Twin Lotus at the tail root of the Dragon God.” He had never thought of it in that direction, but now he understood. He stiffly turned his head and looked at Grieve, only seeing the blond warrior habitually bowing down at the object and calling out “Dragon God.”

『Rhett, press here.』Alex walked over. He touched somewhere, and that thing shrank back to the size of a finger and was put away by Alex. Rhett’s eyes shone, and he wanted to play with it again, but Alex said he had to turn it in and won’t let him touch it. The two dragons playfully went back to their room.

Grieve finished his prayer– He just ended the life of an enemy, helped the dragons recover their artifacts, and saw the symbol of the dragon god. He felt satisfied. However, Slair didn’t look very well. Grieve was worried; he touched Slair’s forehead,「What’s wrong, Slair?」

Slair was still in shock by what happened,「You…Grieve, did you know what that… is?」

「That’s the symbol of the Dragon God! The Dragon God was so big, so we only used a small part to represent him.」

「I mean, you know… Which part are they talking about?」

「Of course,」Grieve’s expression was serious, and he answered clearly,「That is the erect phallus of the Dragon God, and it was the beginning of the new world. Because it looked like a twin lotus, that’s why we love that sacred flower so much.」

「You… You know what it is and still force me to eat twin lotus seeds!」

「What’s the matter with you?」Grieve was puzzled,「The lotus seeds from the twin lotus were blessed by the dragon god, and you admit its healing effects.」

「But it… it…you… You don’t feel it was strange?」

Grieve looked at him blankly. Gradually, Slair finally calmed down; he understood that it was a waste of time to say something to the faithful people. Apparently, the entire wild human population didn’t find it odd.

「Ne…Nevermind.」 Slair sat aside and tried to calm himself,「Then, tell me more about twin lotus. You used it all the time… The white one was for the ones who passed away, the yellow one was for the Dragon God, the red one was for relatives, the blue, purple, orange, and yellow ones could be used in celebrations… Well, the dragon gods are really busy.」

「It was not so strict.」Grieve sat next to him and said,「Some places were poor and would be glad to have twin lotus and wouldn’t care much about its color; There were also places with different meanings for each color. However, there was a common custom about the twin lotus, umm, maybe not the forest city.」

「What custom?」

「Uh…」Grieve, blushing a little,「When courting, people would use the pink twin lotus… they would split the flower from the conjoined part. Take half for yourself and the other half for the other person. They will take the flower if they accept your love; else, the flower will be tossed on the ground. However, twin lotuses are very expensive and common folks won’t be so wasteful. People would choose common flowers instead if it was not a celebration or a free gift from the priest. Basically, if someone offers twin lotus, it will be hard to reject.」

… Although Slair was not a dragon, after hearing the explanation, he felt pain in the crotch. Such a cruel custom. Did your Dragon God know about it? Didn’t you say the twin lotus was the symbol of the Dragon God and shall not be damaged?

「So…Grieve, do you have someone in mind? Someone you wanna give a pink twin lotus to.」

Grieve suddenly looked up, he stared right into Slair’s eyes, and he could feel his heart about to fly out of his chest. The word 「You」was stuck at the top of his throat and was about to come out.

A warrior shall not lie. However, Grieve wouldn’t dare to tell the truth. He embarrassingly lowered his head and avoided this topic,「 Before I kill Robert, I don’t want to distract myself from thinking about these things.」

【Question】Why do wild humans love twin lotuses so much?

Recently, I bought a few novels for my human. It was the wild-human series written by 「My Tail Shining Like the Sun.」 As a result, my human became a fan of wild human culture and kept asking me to buy him a twin lotus. However, the twin lotus that grows on the float islands is way bigger than those raised by wild humans. The flower was so big he couldn’t even hold it. Heck, he could sleep on it like a bed!

I scanned a few pages of the novel, and it seems like they would use the twin lotus no matter what the wild humans do. I mean, what’s so special about it?

№.0 ☆☆☆ = = ☆☆☆

They are pretty and easy to raise.

№.1 ☆☆☆ = = ☆☆☆

If I remember correctly, it has some religious meaning to it. The twin lotus is a very sacred flower to wild humans. Damaging a wild human’s twin lotus was like kicking a male dragon in the nuts. It was very rude.

№.2 ☆☆☆ = = ☆☆☆

2nd floor, your metaphor is not sacred at all = =|||

№.3 ☆☆☆ = = ☆☆☆

But the degree of anger was on point.

№.4 ☆☆☆ = = ☆☆☆

Since it was sacred, you should use a metaphor like destroying a dragon’s entire treasure collection.

№.5 ☆☆☆ = = ☆☆☆

Wonderful metaphor! The treasure was sacred and inviolable!

№.6 ☆☆☆ = = ☆☆☆

Air Traffic Bureau smiles and walks away.

№.7 ☆☆☆ = = ☆☆☆

OAO! What’s going on! Are there criminals among us?

№.8 ☆☆☆ = = ☆☆☆

If I remember correctly, yellow was the most sacred because yellow is close to gold. And the Dragon God those wild humans worshiped seemed to be a golden dragon. So does anyone think it might have something to do with His Majesty? @ShinnyGoldBlingBling

№.9 ☆☆☆ = = ☆☆☆

Possible. I guess when His Majesty was dating wild humans, he kept giving them twin lotus as gifts, then the flower became sacred.

№.10 ☆☆☆ = = ☆☆☆

Fooling his love interests with such worthless flowers, His Majesty went too far. Or should I say humans are too easy to be satisfied? If that was a dragon, you must offer at least half of your treasures.

№.11 ☆☆☆ = = ☆☆☆

Zeze, Your Majesty! [Shrug. gif]

№.12 ☆☆☆ = = ☆☆☆

Hey hey! Don’t pour dirt on my name! This got nothing to do with me! I always gift treasure to my lovers! The twin lotus was 100% my grandpa’s fault… truly.

№.13 ☆☆☆ ShinyGoldBlingBling ☆☆☆

Your Majesty quit making up stories. Your grandfather was not interested in humans.

№.14 ☆☆☆ = = ☆☆☆

Your Majesty, what sort of treasure do you gift to your humans?

№.15 ☆☆☆ = = ☆☆☆

Ah, many things like invulnerable armors but after the Wild Human Protection Act was announced, I switched to something more delicate, such as octave boxes

№.16 ☆☆☆ ShinyGoldBlingBling ☆☆☆

Music box… [Comtempt.gif]

№.17 ☆☆☆ = = ☆☆☆

You need to consider the time and culture! Anyway, I won’t tell you the details, I promise everything I gift to my humans is well-thought! My humans understand it, and that’s enough for me!

№.18 ☆☆☆ ShinyGoldBlingBling ☆☆☆

That to be said, there never was a human who shared Your Majesty’s treasure.

№.19 ☆☆☆ = = ☆☆☆

It’s that obvious, His Majesty has been in love so many times. If he shared half of his treasure each time, he would be a poor wretch by now.

№.20 ☆☆☆ = = ☆☆☆

So they were not true love.

№.21 ☆☆☆ = = ☆☆☆

You… Dating with a human is different from dating with a dragon…

№.22 ☆☆☆ ShinyGoldBlingBling ☆☆☆

I want to use this post to ask about a personal problem. I am in love with my human, and I want to use the wild human way to ask him to marry me. Will that work? I have asked some professionals; they said that wild humans use twin lotus as a marriage proposal. My human is interested in the fantastic human culture. Will he be mad if I do it?

№.23 ☆☆☆ = = ☆☆☆

Upstairs, please be careful. I am in love with a dragon who is very knowledgeable about humans. I once tried to confess my love to him, but I didn’t have the courage, so I found a place to practice. This was the method I chose, so I bought a bunch of twin lotuses through the mail and spat them one by one. Before I could talk to him, he saw it and then avoided me for three years.

Later I found out the reason, but…In any case, I never succeeded again.
