You were visiting the Lotus Paradise to get your wish granted. The Herbville residents hesitated to trust the Blue Dragon after the reveal that they were gathering Life Powder. You still believed in the powers of the dragon, especially now when it was restored to its full glory.

After you enter the beautiful temple, you're escorted by Hydrangea Cookie, soon meeting with the Lotus Dragon themself, in Cookie form, playing a Lotus Mandolin.

"Have you come to make a wish, little Cookie?"
