”D-Did you just say the Golden Dragon Robe, father?” Shen Shi asked him with a dumbfounded look on her face.

”Yes, I did.” The Dragon King nodded with a solemn face.

”We don’t have any Dragon Emperors in this world, so does this mean that someone from the upper heavens came down here? But why the Fairy Paradise?” Shen Shi then asked.

”I am sending you there to answer that question. Hurry up and get moving. If he’s really a Dragon Emperor, we don’t want anything to happen to him. If he’s real, you should know what to do.”

”I understand.”

Shen Shi then followed Elder Zou back to the Fairy Paradise using some sort of special talisman that teleported them there within seconds.

Meanwhile, back at the Fairy Paradise, Yuan was sitting in the corner of the prison cell while silently pondering to himself if there was anything else he could do to get out of this situation.

’I just wanted to look at the Zither Goddess’s immortal cave…’ He sighed inwardly.

Eventually, Elder Xue returned to the prison and said to him, ”Take out your Golden Dragon Robe. I need to verify something.”

Yuan had no choice but to hand over his Golden Dragon Robe to her.

’At least she didn’t ask for the blood essence…’ He thought to himself as he handed her the Golden Dragon Robe.

Once she had the robe, Elder Xue left the scene and went to another place, where Shen Shi and the other sect elders were waiting.

”Here is the Golden Dragon Robe. Please verify it.” Elder Xue handed the robe to Shen Shi.

”T-This is…”

Shen Shi was visibly shaken when she touched the Golden Dragon Robe.

”This is real… My blood is reacting to it…”

She then looked at Elder Xue and spoke with a frown on her face, ”You need to release that person immediately!”

”Unfortunately, that is not possible, as he’d violated our Fairy Paradise’s law, and without the Fairy Empress’s approval, we cannot let him go.” One of the elders there said.

”Screw the rules! This is a Dragon Emperor we’re talking about! Even if he’s not from our Royal Dragon Family, we have a responsibility to protect him! If anything happens to him, we’ll be the least of your worries!”

”You do not belong to a royal family, so I don’t blame you for being ignorant, but a Dragon Emperor is not someone you can offend! A single Dragon Emperor can remove my entire family with a single command, much less your Fairy Paradise!”

The elders there were left speechless by Shen Shi’s words. They have never encountered a Dragon Emperor before, so they didn’t know the severity of their situation.

”We’ll release the man, but this doesn’t mean he can leave.” Elder Xue suddenly said.

And she continued, ”Before we can fully release him, we’ll need to speak with the Fairy Empress.”

”Hmph! I doubt the Fairy Empress will be willing to go to war with the Royal Dragon Family for a single man! And I will be staying here until he is free!” Shen Shi said.

”Do as you please.” Elder Xue said before leaving the place and returning to the prison cell that held Yuan.

Of course, Shen Shi followed her, as she wanted to meet this mysterious Dragon Emperor for herself.

’H-He’s the Dragon Emperor? He’s so young! Not to mention his lacking cultivation base! Is he really a Dragon Emperor?’

Shen Shi’s eyes widened with surprise when she saw Yuan. This is her first time meeting a Dragon Emperor, so she wasn’t sure what to expect, but she definitely wasn’t expecting to see a handsome young man like Yuan.

”Here’s your robe. We’ll be releasing you for now, but that doesn’t mean you’re completely free to go, as we still have to speak with the Fairy Empress. In the meantime, you’ll be staying in a designated area.” Elder Xue said to Yuan as she returned the Golden Dragon Robe to him.

When Yuan left the prison cell, Shen Shi approached him with a friendly smile on her face.

”Hello, senior. I am Shen Shi of the Royal Dragon Family, and I will do my best to sort things out for you. Until then, I will be staying with you. If you need anything, just let me know.”

’The Royal Dragon Family…?’ Yuan immediately recalled the royal family from the Ancient Dragon City.

”My name is Yuan,” he then said.

”Follow me, I will lead you to your living quarters for now.” Elder Xue said to them.

Sometime later, they arrived in this secluded area that had a single house but a large courtyard.

”You are not allowed to this leave area until we give you the permission. If you try to escape, we will kill you even if you’re a Dragon Emperor.” Elder Xue said to him.

’What? Dragon Emperor?’ Yuan raised his eyebrows when he heard her words.

Since when did he become a Dragon Emperor? This made him recall how the dragons in the Ancient Dragon City mistook him as someone from the royal family.

’Now that I think about it, this situation is really similar to when I first arrived in the Ancient Dragon City.’ Yuan smiled bitterly when he realized this.

Elder Xue left the scene shortly after, but there were many guards that surrounded this area.

”Let’s go inside to talk, shall we?” Shen Shi said to him.

”Okay.”

Once they entered the building, they both sat down in front of each other.

”I’m sure you have many questions, but allow me to ask you a few questions first.” Shen Shi started the conversation.

And she continued, ”First and foremost… Are you really a Dragon Emperor— or from the Royal Dragon Family for that matter? Although you have the Dragon Spatial Ring and even the Golden Dragon Robe, I am still not entirely convinced that you’re one.”

Yuan didn’t immediately respond to her question and took his time pondering how he should respond.
