Xie Ran walked into his new room with a raging mind. He did not know why the unsound sentence was thrown. But he was more uncomfortable because his heart became so agitated.
Not agitated by the matter of Yu Zainan or the Lava Continent experiencing a crisis period, but other things that cannot be explained. Xie Ran doesn't like that.
When he thought that there was a goddess so close to Qu Xuanzi who was a loner, he became extremely uncomfortable. Qu Xuanzi had never said anything to her, only telling her that she was only close to her grandfather. That's why Xie Ran felt uneasy not clear as well as annoyed.
His feelings don't make sense. Just because a certain goddess made a fuss, it could have been urgent to meet because there was an important thing that could not be pushed back again. Qu Xuanzi had also been with him for quite a while, whereas the man was not leisurely at all times. It doesn't have to be unreasonable.
When Xie Ran had already found the right path to his mind problem, a black-robed man came to give a message for him.
"Chairman Bai, Master Yu wants to discuss something with you."
"I already know." Xie Ran nodded. I don't know what other problems Yu Zainan wanted to create.
Xie Ran rushed out towards Yu Zainan's residence. When he exited the room, Qu Xuanzi appeared before him about to explain the misunderstanding, but Xie Ran immediately interrupted his sentence.
"It looks like Yu Zainan has planned something so call me to meet him. If you want to talk, I'm in a hurry."
Xie Ran passed by just like that, making Qu Xuanzi frown. It changes so quickly. Did Xie Ran eat something wrong in the room earlier?
His steps stopped when he remembered something. Xie Ran turned to look at Qu Xuanzi. "If you're in a hurry, there's no need to wait for me. Maybe I'll be back long enough."
Before Xie Ran could leave, Qu Xuanzi held his arm and hugged him. Xie Ran pensively for a moment. They only parted for a moment, does it need to be like this? After all, Xie Ran did not face any serious danger.
"Are you angry or not, I can't guess you. I just wanted to say, the goddess that the Azure Dragon meant was just a crazy woman who insisted on being my mother, that's all." Qu Xuanzi thought it was explaining enough without telling her the problem. He did not want to involve Xie Ran any further for now.
Somehow Xie Ran felt relieved, but he could not express it directly. He could only smile, then return Qu Xuanzi's embrace. "Who am I angry at?"
"You curse."
"I'm just talking, I don't even know what I'm saying."
"really?"
Xie Ran nodded. Why be that sensitive? When before the tournament, he had also said the same thing to Qu Xuanzi, but the man did not care and left just like that.
But now, a little bit of anger just can't. Xie Ran was curious, was Sean in his world the same as this. Unfortunately, he did not remember it clearly.
"I have to go now." Xie Ran took off his embrace and looked at Qu Xuanzi. "You should go too." He gave a brief kiss on Qu Xuanzi's cheek, then went to call his friends before heading to Yu Zainan's residence.
Qu Xuanzi looked at Xie Ran's departure that was getting further and further away and disappeared. He looked at the top of the mountain with narrowed eyes, he would not leave for long, but felt that something would happen soon.
But he couldn't keep letting that crazy woman go. In addition, Ann Rou said there was something the Goddess of Life wanted to say concerning the Upper World and 'she' which had always been a mystery.
Qu Xuanzi sighed. "Ann Rou, Dou Dou, you protect him."
Ann Rou and Dou Dou instantly emerged from the darkness, kneeling behind Qu Xuanzi receiving orders. "Good."
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
The lava peak was very crowded at this moment. Many dragons flew and gathered for a feast that lasted all day.
As the arena battle still continued, Yu Zainan suddenly announced that there would be a feast for the ten major regions at the peak of the lava, especially for the leaders of each region.
The followers could only be in the courtyard of the race leader's residence, while the territory leaders would bring one of the followers and family to join in with Yu Zainan.
Basically, the dragons did not like the existence of demons, moreover Yu Zainan was always in the form of demons. Demons have caused destruction to the Lava Continent for hundreds of years, now that they control the Lava Continent because the Dragon God has fallen, they will continue to harbor such hatred.
Unfortunately, they could not fight back at all, let alone after so many years Yu Zainan managed and gained the trust of ten territory leaders. Although there were still some dragons that did not like it, they could only swallow everything raw. Until finally the position of Yu Zainan became stronger and could not be touched by anyone.
Yu Zainan sat at the end, facing the dragons that were so big joining the main party. He was still waiting for someone he had just invited.
Actually, Yu Zainan did not want to invite Bai Long'er. But since he had agreed to make Bai Long'er the main elder, as well as thinking Bai Long'er had a connection with 'he', then he couldn't take the brash step that could take his life.
Even so, Yu Zainan had prepared something special for that haughty Bai Long'er. Want to compete with him? Only in dreams!
Out there, Xie Ran had changed his appearance again to a dragon aura form. Many dragons who felt his aura immediately turned their heads, they looked at Xie Ran questioningly.
Previously Yu Zainan brought many demons to the Lava Continent, now a group of humans. What did Yu Zainan want?
Unfortunately, they simply did not get the answer they wanted. Even approaching alone was not daring when it sensed a divine power vaguely spread across one of the girls with a dragon aura stronger than them.
Feeling noticed, Liu Chang was troubled. Although he was a Young Master, he was not that famous and did not like being noticed as if someone would devour him right then and there. He clung to Yan Yao next to him making the man piqued.
"Young Master Liu, sorry, I'm still normal, don't get close." Yan Yao glanced at him sharply making Liu Chang spontaneously retreat.
"Sister Yao, I didn't mean that." Liu Chang spoke in a low voice. "With their huge bodies, looking at me as if to devour, I'm a bit scared."
Yan Yao twisted her eyeballs and sneered, "Sissy."
"Liu Chang, which heartless person understands? A person of high popularity and known for not feeling any fear at all, you would only be humbled by such a person." Zhong Xiaorong sneered.
"You ...." Zhong Xiaorong glared at Yan Yao sharply. Since when did Yan Yao know his secret? Did his servant actually sell the item he stole to the Yan Clan? Watch out if you come home later!
"Sister Yao, aren't you his fiancee? As long as you're alive, whichever one wants to snatch Rongrong from you." Mei Liena whispered while giggling. Liu Chang and Zhou Kui simply held back a laugh in order not to be hit and frozen the pair did not get along with it.
"Are you guys done?" Pei Xi glanced at them coldly. They could make a joke in the midst of the dragons watching. What if it gets caught?
In an instant, there was no laughter, there was only the sound of stifled laughter between Mei Liena and Liu Chang. Those who were originally tense became calm given how Yan Yao and Zhong Xiaorong were fighting every day, then ended up going to the oppressed Yan Yao.
"Behold your attitude, inside there are ten leaders of the lava peak region. Their strength was like Long Huo, it would be best to be careful." Xie Ran reminded as they reached the front door of the hall.
"Ranran, just calm down. I'm very good at acting." Yan Yao praised herself confidently, while the girl next to her sneered silently.
"Master, I feel the breath of another being."
Xie Ran glanced at Long Yun on his shoulder at a glance. "What's that?"
"Gree."
Xie Ran was foreign to fairy breath, so did not know about it. He himself was surprised that there were elves who arrived in the Lava Continent, plus he was on Yu Zainan's side. Is that elf also one of 'her' minions'? How many are there actually?
Elves have a high level of precision and intelligence. Therefore, as Xie Ran became the envoy of 'she' as Bai Long'er, he had to be careful of this one fairy's judgment.
They entered the main hall. Dragon parties are different from human parties where there is dance and music. The dragon party consisted of an exhibition of treasures and food, they would boast of their treasures to each other in their respective styles.
Xie Ran who was looking could only hold back. Seeing a lot of food, suddenly his stomach was rumbling. Looking at the many treasures, suddenly his hands felt extremely itchy wanting to take. Why should a dragon party be like this?
Different from Xie Ran, Mei Liena and the others could only flare up. In an instant, their poor souls as humans trembled to the point of barely shedding tears at the sight of priceless worldly treasures strewn like paper trash.
"Ranran, when we get home, we should take some as souvenirs." Even Zhong Xiaorong who was living on the jungle of treasures could not swallow saliva. However he remains human, which human being is not interested in a pile of shiny objects that mount?
Xie Ran could only nod small in response. This is the first time I have felt so poor. Lucky he came as Bai Long'er so it doesn't look his poverty.
It seems that it is only Pei Xi who is the saneest among his friends, even Xie Ran is starting to get insane again. He is not in demand for property, he is only interested in strength and is only interested in something that can strengthen itself. That's why he's the most boring guy.
When he looked around, his eyes narrowed when he saw the most different person among the gathered demons. On the side of Yu Zainan who was about to greet them, there was a beautiful woman with pointed ears. Her skin was very white and had brighter hair than Xie Ran's silver hair. He stood upright and held an expressionless straight view, before finally meeting Pei Xi.
Pei Xi was somewhat surprised, instantly pulling his hood further covering his face to avoid being recognized. The woman ... was once in her sect.
"There's a fairy here, better watch out." Pei Xi whispered to the others.
They were somewhat surprised, then followed Pei Xi's movements as a non-conversational bodyguard. Until finally Yu Zainan stood in front of Xie Ran with a friendly smile, but not her eyes that showed cunning.
"Chairman Bai, welcome to my party. I haven't told you before, even once a month I have a party at the residence. Think of this party as the welcome of Elder Bai, as well as an old friend who recently came." Yu Zainan spoke in a friendly manner.
Xe Ran glanced at the fairy lady next to Yu Zainan. The woman initially paid no attention to anyone, but her gaze was now scrutinizing Xie Ran and the others as if they were examining something.
Yu Zainan stood in the center of the hall to introduce Bai Long'er as the new lava peak elder. The position of the elder included an honorable position, even the leader had to respect the elder. The elder of the dragon race would be free from the rule of the leader, but could not govern the entire continent because his duty was only to protect. Now, the dragons understood why Bai Long'er looked different and had such a powerful dragon aura.
In addition, Yu Zainan also introduced the elf next to her. His name was Jian Wu, coming to help deal with the problems of the Lava Continent and being the advisor to the leader of the race that made all the dragons astonished. The fairy race was too secretive and had never interfered with the affairs of other races, how could it help Yu Zainan in managing the dragon race?
Xie Ran also thought so. He came to the conclusion, that Jian Wu was actually sent by 'he' to watch over them. He saw Jian Wu was also not someone who liked to interfere. But it was possible that Jian Wu was the only one that was difficult to deal with in the Lava Continent at the moment, even Yu Zainan did not dare to disrespect him.
Although Jian Wu's position was slightly inferior to her, Xie Ran also remained unable to touch a strand of her hair carelessly due to his position being almost on par with the leader.
Nothing important was said during the party, Xie Ran was also mostly silent. Even Jian Wu was even more reserved without any support or companionship, as if all of this had nothing to do with him.
But the thing that made Xie Ran confused, Jian Wu's gaze was often directed at Pei Xi. Do they know each other?
"Jian Wu it, it's terrible." Liu Chang whispered very low. Seeing Jian Wu's amber irises made him even more afraid than looking at the distressed Yu Zainan.
Four races all at once existed in the same place, completely making one depressed. If there were Qu Xuanzi, this would truly be a complete gathering of the five races.
"The fairy sounds so sharp, better keep your mouth shut." Zhou Kui. They couldn't risk being known by a fairy. Although it looked as calm as water, who knew what was inside.
The party continued for a very long time until Xie Ran was completely caught off guard. Xie Ran decides to walk away from the show-off dragons and Yu Zainan's ravings, leaving his hapless friends looking like dumb humans ready to eat.
In the end they followed Xie Ran. But suddenly Pei Xi broke away on the grounds that something was left behind, they could only agree.
Pei Xi walked along the large hallway that was quiet all by himself. No one passed by, not even the little dragons that normally roamed around did not exist. But Pei Xi looked neither surprised nor perplexed, he continued to go towards the hall to pick up his items left behind.
But when he was about to enter the hall, the figure of a beautiful woman came out of the door staring at him with a cold smile. The Iris amber was no longer as emotionless as when in the party, she looked at Pei Xi as if she had known him for a very long time.
"Unexpectedly, being able to meet Young Master Pei here, was a rare coincidence." For the first time since the party. His voice was so smooth and gentle, yet it contained a tone of sarcasm and sneers.
Pei Xi looked at him coldly. He wanted to leave, but Jian Wu's hand restrained his shoulder and looked at him with narrowed eyes.
"Let me see one more time, my poor little brother. You're getting bigger. Know it? Mom and Dad were so worried about you that they even asked me to pick you up at the academy. But who would have thought, you'd be back when I wasn't around. Don't you miss your brother?"
