Chapter 621: Why Don’t You Take a Guess?
‘That’s the Fairy Empress?’ Yuan thought to himself as they approached the figure sitting all the way at the end of the room, and there was another figure standing beside her, who was wearing a uniform that looked similar to Elder Xue’s robes.
As for the woman sitting on the throne, she was an extremely beautiful woman with long golden hair and emerald-colored eyes.
“This Junior greets the Fairy Empress.” Elder Xue bowed to her.
She then turned to bow to the woman standing beside the Fairy Empress, “This disciple greets the Sect Master.”
Seeing Elder Xue greet them, Yuan also prepared to greet them.
However, Shen Shi stopped him from greeting them before stepping forward.
“Fairy Empress! The Royal Dragon Family demands you release the Dragon Emperor as soon as possible! If you keep him detained any longer, we will have no choice but to escalate the situation!”
Yuan stared at Shen Shi with wide eyes.
The Fairy Empress should be the most powerful person in this world, yet Shen Shi dared to speak to her in such a tone.
Either the Dragon Royal Family is as powerful as the Fairy Empress, or she’s incredibly daring.
After hearing Shen Shi’s words, the Fairy Empress coldly snorted, “Are you threatening me? You have gotten quite daring since our last meeting, Shen Shi. Have you forgotten about where you are standing right now? That man’s life is now in my hands— whether he’s the Dragon Emperor or not, so you should watch your mouth and attitude when around me, little girl.”
“You can also save your scare tactics for another time, Fairy Empress. You should know very well what will happen to the Fairy Paradise if you harm even a single hair on his body.” Shen Shi snorted back.
“Are you sure you want to start a war with the Royal Dragon Family? And it won’t just be against my family— but against every Royal Dragon Family in the Nine Heavens.”
The Fairy Emperor suddenly burst out laughing that echoed loudly in the large room.
When she eventually stopped laughing, the Fairy Empress suddenly released her cultivation base, instantly pressuring Shen Shi that also affected Yuan even though he was not targeted.
‘What powerful pressure! I have never felt anything like this before! What cultivation base is this Fairy Empress at?!’ Yuan cried inwardly.
“I will not repeat myself. This is my house, not the Royal Dragon Family, Shen Shi. You will get hurt if you continue barking so loud.”
Shen Shi gritted her teeth and also released her cultivation base to retaliate.
However, Yuan suddenly shouted, “Fairy Empress!”
The Fairy Empress immediately stopped her pressure and turned to look at him with interest.
“Did you call me here to fight with her, or do you want to speak with me?” He asked her with a calm face.
“Dragon Emperor, huh? Are you really a Dragon Emperor? How can a Dragon Emperor have such a pathetic cultivation base?” The Fairy Empress spoke after a moment of silence.
“Our ranks are not determined by one’s cultivation base but by our bloodline’s purity and raw talents.” Shen Shi responded.
The Fairy Empress turned to look at Shen Shi with an annoyed look on her face, and she spoke, “Shen Shi, can you let the little emperor speak for himself? You really think I don’t know how the Dragon Royal Family works? If you speak any more, I will have you removed until we are done.”
“Fairy Empress, I can speak for myself just fine. The only reason I am not being aggressive is because I am in the wrong for entering the Fairy Paradise without permission.” Yuan suddenly said.
“However, it appears that I am being treated as a pushover by staying silent, so I will be the one talking now.”
“Oh? Then what do you have to say for yourself?” The Fairy Empress no longer bothered with Shen Shi and returned her focus to Yuan.
“Like I’d already mentioned, I acknowledge that I am in the wrong for breaking the rules of this place, but it was not as though I came here on purpose.”
“I was accidentally teleported here from another heaven, and I had no control over that whatsoever.”
“If you’re going to kill me over something like this… then you should be prepared to face the consequences for killing a Dragon Emperor.”
“Can you tell me which of the Nine Heavens did you come from?” The Fairy Empress asked him with a calm face.
“That has nothing to do with my situation, so I will not entertain you,” Yuan calmly responded.
And he continued, “The real question here is whether you’ll kill me or let me go.”
After a moment of silence, the Fairy Emperor spoke with a cold grin on her face, “What if I don’t kill you… but I will also not let you go? What if I feel like keeping you imprisoned here forever?”
“You dare?!” Shen Shi exclaimed in an angry voice.
“Of course I dare. Even if the Royal Dragon Family from the upper heavens were to cause trouble here, I also have connections to people in the upper heaven. Don’t think you can intimidate me with the royal family.”
“And I highly doubt the royal family would want to offend these people for a mere Dragon Emperor. Now if he was a Dragon God, that might be able to save him.”
Hearing her words, Yuan suddenly started laughing.
He then said, “Go ahead and imprison me if you want. But before you make that decision, you should know that I have someone waiting for me, and if I don’t show up… Let’s just say that he’ll be very angry.”
After saying these words, Yuan retrieved a glass bottle from his Dragon Spatial Ring before tossing it to the Fairy Empress.
“What is this? If you think a drop of blood will save you—” The Fairy Empress suddenly stopped speaking when she took a closer look at the drop of blood in the bottle.
“W-Whose blood essence does this belong to?!” She suddenly shouted in a grim voice, startling everyone there.
“Why don’t you take a guess? I will give you a hint… He’s the one who created the Royal Dragon Family.” Yuan said with a smile on his face.
