*Cough*
After resisting Xi ili’s Dragon’s Gaze for another minute, Yuan suddenly turned his head to the side and coughed up a mouthful of blood before closing his eyes and losing consciousness.
When she saw Yuan’s body beginning to fall, Xi ili quickly used her slender arms to catch his body, hugging his body afterward so that he didn’t fall.
"Yuan!" Wang Xiuying rushed onto the stage with a worried look on her face.
"He’s okay. He only sustained minor internal injuries and lost consciousness due to the trendous stress his mind had endured. His injuries will heal once he leaves the stage, but he’ll probably remain unconscious for a little bit longer." Xi ili said to Wang Xiuying to calm her down.
Xi ili then carried Yuan like a princess and said, "I’ll cut our tour today short and bring him back to the Dragon Palace with for now."
"Thank you all for your ti today." Xi ili said to the spectators and the fighters before flying away while carrying Yuan in her arms and Wang Xiuying with Qi Manifestation.
The people in the Ancestral Dragon Temple remained still and silent for a good mont even after Xi ili and the others left.
Soti later, soone said, "I’m exhausted— even though I didn’t fight anyone today. I think I’ll go ho for today."
Once one person spoke, the others also began snapping out of their daze.
"You’re right. I need so good rest after today..."
" too."
Thus, everyone left the Ancestral Dragon Temple shortly after, leaving the Ancestral Dragon Temple completely empty for the rest of the day, which was an extrely rare sight.
On their way back to the Dragon Palace, Xi ili stared at Yuan’s peaceful sleeping face their entire way there with a profound look on her face, looking like she was in deep thoughts.
"Even though I am well aware that he’d managed to reveal all nine pillars of light, his talents still shock ." Xi ili mumbled in a low voice.
"Just what is his background? It’s simply unbelievable that soone like him exists in the Lower Heavens."
"Do you have any ideas?" Xi ili turned to ask Wang Xiuying.
Wang Xiuying shrugged and said, "He’s as much of a mystery to as he is to you. I also have no idea about his identity. We encountered each other by chance, and I have been following him since then out of curiosity."
"I see... Well, I won’t dive any deeper than this."
Soti later, they returned to the Dragon Palace.
"What happened?! Who did this to him?!" The Dragon Emperor was imdiately enraged when he saw Xi ili bring back Yuan in such a state, looking like he was prepared to kill soone.
"Well... I did this to him..." Xi ili said with a sowhat blushing look on her face.
"What? You? Why? What happened?" The Dragon Emperor was greatly taken aback when he learned that it was his own daughter that had injured Yuan!
"Calm down, father. Let explain." Xi ili said, and she proceeded to explain to him the situation and how everything occurred.
"I had a match with him, and I wanted to test his limits..."
After explaining everything to the Dragon Emperor, he sat down with a look of disbelief on his face.
"He also knows Dragon’s Gaze? How is that possible?" The Dragon Emperor mumbled.
"Anyways, I am going to let Yuan rest in his room for now." Xi ili said.
Soti later, Xi ili placed Yuan on the bed before returning to the Dragon Emperor’s side.
"Father, I have a question." Xi ili said to him with a serious look on her face.
"What is it?" He looked at her with raised eyebrows, as she rarely shows such an expression.
"What do you think of a dragon and a human being together?" Xi ili asked.
"Huh? What do you an by that?" The Dragon Emperor didn’t imdiately comprehend her question and asked her.
"Marriage. What do you think of a dragon marrying a human?" Xi ili asked again, this ti making it crystal clear.
"Marriage? What kind of question is this— Wait... Don’t tell you’re..." The Dragon Emperor’s eyes widened with shock when he realized her reason for asking this question.
"D-Don’t tell you’re interested in him?" He asked for confirmation.
Xi ili nodded and said, "I am considering it."
"What made you pick him?" The Dragon Emperor asked her with a profound frown on his face, yet he didn’t imdiately refuse.
"Is it because of his talent? His strength? Or is it just because of the fact that he’s a human?"
"A little bit of everything," she replied with a slight smile on her face.
"In terms of talent, he’s above everyone in this world. Although his experience is sowhat lacking, he’s definitely a fast learner. Furthermore, he has this unique aura around him— this charisma that is quite attractive. Oh, he’s also very handso." Xi ili said.
"You’re really serious about this, aren’t you?" The Dragon Emperor said with a pondering look on his face.
Xi ili nodded. "I sat through countless arranged marriages, eting countless n over the last few thousand years, but alas, none of them could make my blood boil the way Yuan did today on the stage."
"I understand that he appears to be an excellent partner, but you just t him not long ago... You’re barely acquainted, much less friends." The Dragon Emperor said.
"And how is that any different from the people you’ve arranged for , huh? I don’t even know them at all!" Xi ili refuted.
"Uhh..." The Dragon Emperor was rendered speechless after hearing her words. Indeed, his logic was flawed.
After pondering for a mont, he said, "You’re right about that. However, he’s not from our world, and he won’t remain here forever. Once we find a way to help them return to where they ca from, that’ll be the end of you and him."
"..."
It was Xi ili’s turn to beco silent now, as her father was right about this one. Yuan won’t be here forever, which will make their relationship complicated if not impossible.
