1199 Azure Dragon Family

Once they entered the restaurant, Azure led Yuan straight to the seventh floor of the restaurant, where only two rooms existed on the entire floor.

Azure's room was on the left side of the building. Inside, there were four other people sitting around a long table that was filled with delicious-looking food and fragrant drinks. Two young men and two young ladies, all around the same age as Azure.

"Sorry for that just now." Azure said to them with an apologetic smile on her face as she entered the room.

"Why did you jump out of the window so suddenly? That surprised us."

"Forget that— who is that beside you?" One of the ladies asked her with sparkling eyes.

"Let me introduce you to a new friend that I've just made. This is Yuan. He'll be dining with us." Azure introduced him with a bright smile.

The ladies looked up and down at Yuan with glistening eyes while the two men had slight frowns on their faces.

"Where did you come from, Yuan? I have never seen you before! Oh! I'm Zhu Ling!"

"My name's Li Na! Nice to meet you!"

The ladies introduced themselves while the men remained silent.

"Come sit over here with me, Yuan." Azure said to him as she walked over to her seat by the window.

'Azure, you sly beast. I was wondering why you had been staring outside the window with a dazed face!' Li Na said to her using divine sense.

'Hands off, you two. I found him, so he's mine.' Azure said to them.

'Hey! That's not fair! You already have Guo Xing and Wang Jun here!' Zhu Ling said.

'Nonsense! You know we're not in that kind of relationship!' Azure glared at her.

'Either way, you know that they've been trying to court you for over a thousand years now. If you flirt with this new guy whom you've just met, they will definitely get jealous.'

'That's none of my business.'

'You say that but—'

"Hey, you didn't answer my friend's question. Where are you from?" Guo Xing, a handsome young man with a naturally stern face, suddenly spoke to Yuan.

"Ancient Dragon City."

"What about your family? Which family are you from?" Zhu Ling asked.

"Just an ordinary family."

"Eh?! No way! You look like you belong to some big family!" Li Na exclaimed.

The two men smirked a little when they realized that Yuan didn't belong to any prominent family.

"It's true." Yuan smiled, remaining calm.

The room fell silent for a moment afterward.

"Who cares where he's from." Azure suddenly said, breaking the silence.

And she continued, "Let's eat before the food gets cold."

"Thanks again for the invitation." Yuan said to her.

"Don't worry about it. If there's anything you want to eat, feel free to order them. It's my treat."

They began eating shortly after.

As they ate, Zhu Ling started a conversation, "So, I heard that Xi Meili will be visiting the Azure Dragon Family today. Is that true, Azure?"

Yuan glanced at Azure. He had a feeling that she was related to them because of her name, but he wasn't sure to what extent.

"Yeah, but it's none of my business."

"Can you really say that? I heard rumors that the Azure Dragon Family and the Xi Family are trying to come together." Li Na said.

"It's true, but I am nowhere near that conversation. My eldest brother is the one who's trying to marry Xi Meili." Azure shrugged.

"Do you really think that Xi Meili will agree to it?" Wang Jun said, and he continued, "I mean, your brother already has multiple wives. I don't think the princess will accept someone like that, considering her status."

"He has multiple fiancées, not wives. He's saving that first spot for the princess. But I get what you are trying to say." Azure corrected him.

"Speaking of the Xi Family, I heard that they had befriended a human. How true do you think that is?" Zhu Ling suddenly said.

"A human? What kind of nonsense is that? There's no way a human can enter this world." Guo Xing sneered with a disdainful expression.

"Actually, I heard that rumor as well. It happened sometime last year, and rumors have it that this human had awoken all 9 pillars during the Dragon Awakening Ritual." Li Na said.

"Hahahaha!" Wang Jun suddenly burst out laughing upon hearing her words.

"There's no way a mere human could awaken 9 pillars when even the Xi Family could only manage seven pillars at most! I'd eat my own tail if a human could awaken 6 pillars, much less 9!"

If Wang Jun knew that the rumors were true and the human who awoke all 9 pillars was in the exact same room as him at this moment, not even the heavens would be able to predict his reaction.

"If a human like that really exists, I'd like to meet him." Azure sighed.

"Why would you want to meet a human? They're weak and fragile creatures, yet they are arrogant as hell and act as though they're the ultimate race." Guo Xing sneered.

"I just think it'll be interesting." Azure shrugged.Content © 2024.

"What do you think, Yuan?" She suddenly turned to look at him, who had been stuffing food inside his mouth without stopping this entire time.

"Would you want to meet a human if you had the chance?"

"If I have a reason to meet with them, sure." He responded after quickly swallowing the food in his mouth.

Wang Jun smiled at Yuan and said, "Looks like you're not lying when you said that you came from an ordinary family. Is this your first time eating good food? Seems like it."

"Watch your mouth, Wang Jun. Ordinary family or not, he's my friend now. Badmouth him again and this will be our last time hanging out together." Azure glared at him.

Wang Jun sneered inwardly, and he proceeded to glare at Yuan like a tiger before its prey.

"Please don't mind him, Yuan." Azure said to him, who calmly nodded before returning to his food.

Meanwhile, Xi Meili just arrived at the Azure Dragon Family's residence.
