He hummed a bar, and Ling Qi felt the change in the areas qi.
Push and pull, everlasting. Pressure. Sunlight glinting on rippling wavers, the infinite colors glittering beneath clear blue water. Near weightless suspension, floating on the current of the world.
Life, blooming with vitality. Living clouds of fish, gleaming in the dappled light that extended beneath the surface, wonders and horrors on a scale greater than the dry lands above.
Mystery, deep and infinite. The black abyss where the sloping sands dropped off. The infinite expanse where not a single island remained in sight.
Drumming her fingers on the arm of her seat, Ling Qi hummed back.
Wide as the world, stretching beyond comprehension, wisps of white the only stains in an infinite expanse. The feeling of soaring, freedom from the bonds of the earth, able to travel whatever direction one wished.
Colors, hues beyond counting splashed across the world, casting it in their light. The shadows of mountains and hills and cities silhouetted against the setting and rising sun. The white cloak of winter, setting all the world a-glitter. The stormy ides of spring, awakening chaos and bringing life to the world.
Noise and life. The howl of the wind through the mountaintops. The cries of birds migrating to and from far lands. The whisper of the breeze in the streets carrying all the scents of life.
"Ling Qi," Cai Renxiang's stern voice cut her off, and Ling Qi realized just how spiritually 'loud' they had gotten.
"Xia Anxi," Meizhen joined her, sounding more amused than stern.
"My apologies, Lady Cai," Ling Qi said.
"It seems we became too enmeshed in our conversation," Xia Anxi apologized, bowing his head.
