1197 Mysterious Handsome Young Man Shocks the City
After breakfast, Xi Meili brought Yuan to her family’s dressing room, where all sorts of outfits were available.
"With your new appearance, you can easily pass as someone with a royal bloodline, so before we go to the Azure Dragon City, you should dress accordingly."
"You want me to pretend to be royalty?" Yuan asked with a dumbfounded face.
"Since you partook in our family’s Blood Cleansing Ceremony, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call you royalty." Xi Meili said as she looked through her father’s old clothes.
Eventually, she found a pair of white and golden robes with a golden dragon embroidered in the front and back.
"This! This will look perfect on you!" Xi Meili spoke in an excited voice as she handed him the robes.
"I will also get changed. When you’re done, meet me at the entrance."
Xi Meili left Yuan alone after that.
After changing into his new clothes, Yuan left the dressing room and made his way to the palace’s entrance.
He would cross paths with several servants on the way there, and unsurprisingly, they all stopped whatever they were doing to stare at him with dreamy eyes. Even after many moments after Yuan left their sights, these servants still remained frozen like a stone statue.
"Heavens! Who was that just now?! I have never seen anyone as handsome as him in my life!"
"There’s no way someone like him could be a nobody!"
"Did you see his aura? It was magnificent! When he glanced at me, I felt all the strength in my body leave!"
"He had gold hair like the Xi Family... Is he related to them? But there’s no way we wouldn’t know about him if that was the case..."
Unbeknownst to Yuan, his presence alone was enough to leave these servants in utter chaos.
At the entrance, Xiao Hua and the others were already there to see him off.
"Oh my..." Xi Mingze was taken aback by Yuan’s new outfit.
"That’s my..." Xi Shengmo was speechless.
The outfit Xi Meili had picked out for Yuan used to be worn by Xi Shengmo during his younger days. It wasn’t anything too fancy, but it brought out all of Yuan’s charms and amplified it a hundred times.
Not only does Yuan look like a real Young Master with these clothes, he also gave off the aura of a hero, someone to be looked up to by others.
"You look even better than my husband did in those clothes, Yuan. My daughter sure has an eye for fashion." Xi Mingze spoke in a teasing voice when he got close enough.
Xi Shengmo couldn’t refute her words even though he wanted to.
"The Young Master really looks like a different person now..." Feng Yuxiang mumbled.
Xi Meili showed up shortly after, and she was wearing a formal red and gold outfit, which gave her a more mature atmosphere.
"Looks like I don’t need to scold you for your outfit." Xi Mingze said.
"I am well aware that I am going there for official business, so this is only natural." Xi Meili said, and she turned to look at Yuan, feeling like she had accomplished something great with his clothes.
"Alright, are you ready to go?" Xi Meili asked him.
He nodded, "Yes, but how will we get there?"
"Well, we can travel there with a flying treasure, or we can just teleport there with a formation. I will let you choose. The former will take about a week while the latter will be instantaneous."
Xi Meili would rather take the flying treasure since that means she would get to spend an entire week alone with Yuan, but she didn’t say it outright out of shame.
"There’s nothing but clouds between both cities, right?" Yuan asked.
"That’s right. If you want to sightsee, there’s nothing to see, unfortunately."
"Then let’s just teleport there. I’d rather spend more time in the city, after all."
"Okay..."
Yuan raised an eyebrow in a questioning manner when Xi Meili responded in a dispirited manner for some reason.
"Let’s go, Yuan." Xi Meili didn’t give him the chance to ask and pulled him towards the street.
"Stay safe, Young Master!"
"See you later, Brother Yuan."
"Don’t cause any trouble, Meili!"
After the pair disappeared from their sights, Xi Mingze sighed, "I can’t help but worry that something is going to happen in Azure Dragon City."
"I guess we should start mentally preparing ourselves, then." Xi Shengmo said.
Meanwhile, Yuan and Xi Meili took their time walking to the teleporting formation on foot.
Naturally, their presence left every pedestrian around them utterly speechless.
While the males would admire Xi Meili’s beauty and elegance with wide mouths, all of the females would stare at Yuan like beasts during mating season.
His domineering aura, his alluring scent, his calm yet oppressive gaze none of the females there could withstand his charms, no matter if they were maidens, married women, or widows. All of them were powerless before Yuan’s uncontrollable glamour.
"Who was that handsome man with Princess Xi just now?! I need to know right now!"
"I have never seen him before. He must be from another city."
"What kind of relationship do you think they have with each other? They looked like a pair made by Heaven itself!"
"Damn it! I have never felt so envious of Princess Xi until today!"
"I would be willing to die for a chance to hold that man’s hands even for a second!"
News of a mysterious handsome young man with otherworldly charm that appeared out of thin air quickly spread throughout the city like wildfire.
Upon hearing such news, many people from all over the city flocked to see this mysterious handsome man with their own eyes like it was some kind of freak show.
"My god! He’s actually even more handsome than I expected! How can such a perfect being exist?!"
"Just who is he?! Why does nobody recognize someone as eye-catching as him?! There’s no way he really popped out of thin air!"
Seeing how much attention they were getting, Yuan was beginning to wonder if he should’ve traveled with the flying treasure instead.
