Chapter 618: Can I See Your Horns?
Should I tell her the truth? But if they learn that I am not from the royal family... No, I should pretend to be a Dragon Emperor for my own safety...
After pondering for a moment, Yuan has decided to act as though he was from the Royal Dragon Family, as he would be killed if he wasnt.
Thats right, I am indeed from the Royal Dragon Family, he said to Shen Shi in a calm voice.
Of course, Shen Shi wasnt completely convinced by his words, as there are several questionable points about his claims.
First, why has he kept his identity a secret until now? If hed revealed his identity earlier, he wouldnt have been treated so roughly.
Secondly, he didnt have concrete proof that he was from a royal family, and they wont be able to verify his identity until they bring him back to their family, where the tools to verify his identity is available.
The Dragon Spatial Ring and the Golden Dragon Robe may convince a lot of people, but it wont fool the real royal family.
Can you prove it? Shen Shi suddenly asked him, still with a smile on her face.
And she continued, Dont misunderstand my intentions, Senior Yuan, but I have never seen a Dragon Emperor before, and I want to know for sure so that you can receive my familys full support.
I dont blame you for being skeptical. Alright, I will prove it. Yuan said to her before closing his eyes.
After a moment of silence, he opened his eyes and activated Dragon Gaze, causing his eyes to glow golden and emit an intimidating aura.
?!?!
When Shen Shi experienced Yuans Dragon Gaze, her body trembled from excitement and fear at the same time even though her cultivation base was far higher than Yuans.
Its really the Dragons Gaze! And its so much more powerful than mine! Hes the real deal! A real Dragon Emperor! Shen Shi clenched her fists and jaws just to keep her emotions in control, but her heart was pounding with excitement.
After experiencing Yuans powerful Dragons Gaze, Shen Shi stood up before kneeling in front of him, Please forgive this Junior for doubting the Seniors identity. Our Shen Royal Family will do everything in our power to protect Senior even if it means war against the Fairy Paradise.
War? Calm down. I do not wish for any wars because of me. Yuan quickly shook his head.
Then if theres anything this Junior can do to help you...
Yuan nodded and said, Id like some information about this place. You see, I accidentally got transported to this place, so I am a little clueless at this moment.
S-So thats what happened... Shen Shi mumbled in a low voice. This explained why he was a Dragon Emperor and they didnt recognize him! To think that hed been transported here by accident!
Although such incidents are rare, its not unprecedented. Since youre a Dragon Emperor, I assume that you came from the upper heavens?
S-Something like that. Yuan quickly nodded.
If she knew that he came from the Lower Heavens, that would instantly give away his identity.
Anyway, allow me to tell you about our humble world, Senior.
You can sit down. Yuan suddenly said to her, who was still kneeling on the floor.
Thank you, Senior.
After clearing her throat, she began to speak, We are currently inside the Fairy Paradise within the Fifth Heaven.
Fifth Heaven?! Yuan was shocked to learn this information.
To think hed traveled four entire realms! Just what kind of secret is the Zither Goddess hiding? Why would her immortal caves do something like this?
The Fairy Paradise is a unique place in the Fifth Heaven that forbids men from entering this land regardless of their status. There are many sects and families within the Fairy Paradise, and this particular sect is called the Fleeting Fairy Sect.
Looks like I have fallen into a troublesome place... Yuan sighed.
Dont worry, Senior Yuan. Our Royal Dragon Family will guarantee your safety. Although I said that there is no exception, I highly doubt the Fairy Empress is willing to go to war with the Royal Dragon Family over an accident like this. Furthermore, it was not as though you came to this place with malicious intentions.
Fairy Empress... Is she like the ruler of the Fairy Paradise? Yuan asked.
Yes, thats right. Shes the number one expert in this world, hence why not many people dare to intrude on this land.
Youll most likely have to meet her later to deal with the situation.
I look forward to it. Yuan said with a bittersweet smile.
After talking for some time, Yuan noticed that Shen Shi was actually a little bit fidgety for some reason, so he decided to ask her, Are you okay?
Y-Yes! Shen Shi responded in a nervous tone.
If you have something to say, go ahead and say it. Yuan urged.
Shen Shi stared at him for a moment before nodding, T-Then if you dont mind... Senior Yuan, can I see your horns? I want to see what a Dragon Emperors horn looks like...
My... horns? Yuan was left speechless by her innocent question that was sparked by her curiosity.
After all, a dragons horn is incredibly important to them.
S-Sorry, but due to circumstances, I cannot show you my horns. Yuan politely declined.
Is that so... Its fine, Senior Yuan. You dont need to apologize. It was rude of me to ask you in the first place. Shen Shi said with a smile on her face, but the disappointment in her eyes wasnt hidden well enough.
Although some dragons prefer having their horns out all the time like Shen Shi and her family, some dragons dont want to show their horns for many different reasons.
Now that I think about it, the dragons at the Ancient Dragon City didnt show their horns. I wonder if theres a specific reason. Yuan wondered to himself.
