1176 Xi Meili's Desire
"Even if you say that now, you still have to meet with the Azure Dragon Family. They are expecting your visit." Xi Shengmo sighed.
"And that's exactly what I am going to do!" Xi Meili said, and she added a second later, "With Yuan!"
Xi Shengmo immediately frowned, "That isn't appropriate at all and highly offensive to the other party."
"Why would it be offensive? I am just visiting their city with a friend, and since I am already there, I might as well deal with the arrangement. Father, my priority is not the Azure Dragon Family, but Yuan."
"…"
Yuan remained silent while this father and daughter pair argued with each other over something that heavily involved him without his knowledge.
In his eyes, it was just a casual family drama very common in the Cultivation World, especially for the wealthy and powerful families.
Unbeknownst to him, Xi Meili had already chosen him as her partner.
Feng Yuxiang and the others had no idea either, but they had a bad feeling about the whole situation.
"Now, now. Why don't we deal with this at another time? Or have you forgotten that we have guests?" Xi Mingze eventually stepped in to squash their argument.
"Hm! Yuan! Let's go for a walk!" Xi Meili suddenly rushed over and grabbed him by the hand before pulling him towards the exit.
"Wait, you little—" Xi Shengmo tried to stop her, but he was interrupted by Xi Mingze, "Make sure you come back before the feast!"
"I will!"
Xi Meili and Yuan disappeared from the room before Xiao Hua and the others could even react.
"Ahem. I apologize for my daughter's childlike behavior. She's only ten thousand years old and very spoiled…" Xi Shengmo said to them.
And he continued, "Anyways, why don't I show you to your rooms? The two of them will be back before you know it. Of course, if you have anything else that you want to do, feel free to say it. You are all esteemed guests, after all."
Naturally, they wanted to follow Yuan, but with Xi Meili's presence there, they had a feeling that they would only get in the way, as she seemed exceptionally happy to see Yuan for some reason.
"I will guide them to their rooms. You can stay here." Xi Mingze suddenly said, taking her husband by surprise.
When he saw the look she gave him, it was clear that she had some business with them that she did not want him to be part of.
"Okay…" He nodded in a dazed manner.
ραndαsΝοvεl.cοm It was just a feeling, but it appears that his own wife was not on his side.
"Father, I am going to train…" Xi Murong said to him before leaving as well.
Ever since meeting Yuan a year ago, Xi Murong's attitude has changed, becoming more humble and quiet.
In the hallway, as Xi Mingze led the girls to their room, she started a conversation, "If you don't mind me asking, what are your relationships with Yuan? Are you traveling companions or something more?"
Her intentions were clear as day. She wanted to see if her daughter had any rivals.
While Xiao Hua may be too young, Feng Yuxiang and Lan Yingying were both top beauties, and they were Divine Beasts, as well.
"If you want to be technical about it, we are his servants." Feng Yuxiang said.
"S-Servants?! Divine Beasts serving a human? That is unheard of!" Xi Mingze did not expect such a response.
"Yes, we have sworn loyalty to him through a contract. However, Yuan doesn't treat us like servants. He sees us as companions and treats us with kindness." Lan Yingying said.
"A human at his young age controlling two Divine Beasts… That is unheard of." Xi Mingze took a deep breath.
"Don't misunderstand. We are the ones who wanted to serve him. Even if we didn't form a contract, he would've allowed us to follow him." Feng Yuxiang added.
"Then if you don't mind me asking, why did you choose to serve him? I am probably sounding nosy, but I really want to know more about him, since my daughter is really passionate about following him." Xi Mingze decided to reveal this information to them since they would've found out sooner or later, and she wanted their opinion.
They stopped moving after hearing her words.
"That dragon princess wants to serve the Young Master?" Feng Yuxiang almost couldn't believe her ears.
Dragons are extremely prideful and would never submit to a human to her knowledge, hence her surprise.
"Not serve… More like starting a family together…" Xi Mingze said in a stiff voice.
"What?!?!" Feng Yuxiang exclaimed in a shocked voice.
Lan Yingying raised her eyebrows while Xiao Hua's eyebrows twitched.
"And you have no problem with a dragon mating with a human? And what about her arranged marriage?" Feng Yuxiang asked out of curiosity.
"Despite what the humans have done to our kind, that was countless years ago, and I do not harbor any resentment towards them. Furthermore, she's my daughter. I will support her no matter who she decides to spend her future with." Xi Mingze spoke in a passionate tone.
"As for her arranged marriage, that was purely done by my husband, who is still having a hard time accepting her feelings. He doesn't hate humans or anything, but he also has a traditional mindset, and he doesn't believe in such an interracial relationship."
"I don't really blame him, since it's unheard of for a dragon to marry a human." Feng Yuxiang said.
"What do the two of you think? Should a Divine Beast and a human be allowed together in a romantic sense?" Xi Mingze asked for their opinions.
"I don't see why it shouldn't be allowed." Feng Yuxiang shrugged.
"I also don't see any problems with it." Lan Yingying said.
"Of course you wouldn't. You're carrying a human's baby, after all." Feng Yuxiang sighed.
"What?" Xi Mingze's eyes widened with shock after hearing this unexpected information, and she turned to look at Lan Yingying with a dazed face.
"I-Is that true?"
Lan Yingying calmly nodded, "Yes."
