Chapter 369: Dragon Meat Skewer
Anyways, its not like were telling you to never use the Dragons Gaze ever again. Just make sure youre very careful when using it, as it will definitely offend the other Royal Families if they learn that an outsider had learned their sacred technique, said the Dragon Emperor a few moments later.
I understand. I will be careful. Yuan nodded.
Now, regarding the teleport formation that will bring you back to the Lower Heavens, I have found a way, but we will need some time to prepare. The Dragon Emperor suddenly said.
Does this mean we can return to our own place? This is great news! Wang Xiuying quickly said.
Yes. However, it will still take around a week.
Thats fine. As long as we return before the event ends. Yuan said.
Sometime later, the Dragon Emperor left the room and returned to prepare for their departure.
What do you want to do now? Xi Meili asked them afterward.
Do you still want to look around the city? Or do you want to do something else?
I still want to look around, Yuan said.
Okay, but you only have one week, so we wont be able to see much. Maybe youll come back next time for much longer. At that time, I will show you around the entire Ancient Dragon City. Xi Meili said to him.
Even if I want to come back, how can I do that? Yuan asked.
I dont know, but if youve already managed to come here once, youll definitely find yourself here a second time. I believe in fate, and if youre fated to return, youll definitely return. If that happens... A mysterious smile appeared on her face.
Yuan nodded, Okay.
Go get some more rest. Well go back to touring the city tomorrow morning.
Xi Meili also left the room shortly after, meeting her father at the teleport formation outside the Ancient Dragon City.
I have decided, father. Xi Meili said to him.
On what? He raised his eyebrows.
I wont marry Yuan now. However, if he manages to return to this world for a second time, I will marry him. Xi Meili said.
What kind of decision is that? Youll marry him if he returns for a second time? Do you really think hell be able to return here for a second time? If he was destined to come here before, hes already fulfilled his fate in this world, which means he no longer has a reason to return here. The Dragon Emperor said.
If fate allows it, he will definitely return. I also have this feeling that this wont be my last time seeing him. Xi Meili said with a confident smile on her pretty face.
Even if he is fated to return in the future, who knows when that will be. It could be ten years from now. It can even be ten thousand years from now. We will never know. The Dragon Emperor said.
So what? We can live up to tens of thousands of years with ease because of our bloodline.
The Dragon Emperor shook his head in a defeated manner.
Do as you wish. Youll probably forget about him in a few hundred years, anyway. The Dragon Emperor shrugged.
Do you want to make a bet with me on that, father? Xi Meili suddenly asked him.
A bet? Interesting. Tell me more. He said.
One thousand years if he doesnt return in one thousand years, Ill marry someone on your terms. Xi Meili then said.
Y-Youre serious about this? The Dragon Emperor looked at her with wide eyes.
Does it look like I am joking with you, father? Xi Meili responded with a solemn look on her face.
And if he returns before the time limit of one thousand years, I will have to let you marry him without any complaints, right? The Dragon Emperor then spoke.
Xi Meili nodded, Thats right.
Very well. I will accept your bet.
The countdown will start once he leaves this world. Is that okay? Xi Meili asked.
I am fine with that.
Great! Then its decided! Xi Meili then turned around and returned to the Dragon Palace with a cheerful aura around her, leaving the Dragon Emperor speechless.
She really likes him, huh? The Dragon Emperor shook his head with a bittersweet smile on his face before returning to focus on the teleport formation.
The next day, after eating the breakfast cooked by Meixiu, Yuan went into the game to have his second breakfast for the day with the Royal Family.
Are you two ready for another day in the city? Xi Meili asked them with an energetic aura around her.
I am! Yuan responded with a similar aura around him.
Yes. Wang Xiuying also nodded, albeit a little less excited when compared to Yuan.
Thus, Xi Meili brought them around the city again. However, she didnt bring them towards the Ancestral Dragon Temple this time.
Instead, she brought them to multiple restaurants, showing off their dragons cuisine, as she knew how much Yuan loved food.
This is our famous Dragon Meat Skewer! Try it! Xi Meili handed each of them a skewer.
D-Dragon Meat? Both Yuan and Wang Xiuying looked at her with wide eyes.
Isnt this considered cannibalism if they eat their own kind?
Xi Meili noticed their weird gazes and laughed, Dont worry, its not actually dragon meat. I mean it is, but its not the type youre thinking of.
Oh...
They took a bite a moment later.
Wow! This is so delicious! Yuan immediately claimed, feeling the meat melt in his mouth before exploding with flavor and spiritual energy.
Wow, the texture is heavenly. It doesnt feel like I am eating meat at all! I wonder if this is what it would be like eating clouds if we could eat them! Wang Xiuying said as she finished the entire skewer in just a few seconds.
Can I have some more? She then asked.
Me too! I also want some more! Yuan said.
Are you sure? We finished breakfast not long ago. Xi Meili chuckled before asking for a couple more skewers.
