Chapter 369 - Dragon Meat Skewer

"Anyways, it's not like we're telling you to never use the Dragon's Gaze ever again. Just make sure you're very careful when using it, as it will definitely offend the other Royal Families if they learn that an outsider had learned their sacred technique," said the Dragon Emperor a few moments later.

"I understand. I will be careful." Yuan nodded.

"Now, regarding the teleport formation that will bring you back to the Lower Heavens, I have found a way, but we will need some time to prepare." The Dragon Emperor suddenly said.

"Does this mean we can return to our own place? This is great news!" w.a.n.g Xiuying quickly said.

"Yes. However, it will still take around a week."

"That's fine. As long as we return before the event ends." Yuan said.

Sometime later, the Dragon Emperor left the room and returned to prepare for their departure.

"What do you want to do now?" Xi Meili asked them afterward.

"Do you still want to look around the city? Or do you want to do something else?"

"I still want to look around," Yuan said.

"Okay, but you only have one week, so we won't be able to see much. Maybe you'll come back next time for much longer. At that time, I will show you around the entire Ancient Dragon City." Xi Meili said to him.

"Even if I want to come back, how can I do that?" Yuan asked.

"I don't know, but if you've already managed to come here once, you'll definitely find yourself here a second time. I believe in fate, and if you're fated to return, you'll definitely return. If that happens…" A mysterious smile appeared on her face.

Yuan nodded, "Okay."

"Go get some more rest. We'll go back to touring the city tomorrow morning."

Xi Meili also left the room shortly after, meeting her father at the teleport formation outside the Ancient Dragon City.

"I have decided, father." Xi Meili said to him.

"On what?" He raised his eyebrows.

"I won't marry Yuan now. However, if he manages to return to this world for a second time, I will marry him." Xi Meili said.

"What kind of decision is that? You'll marry him if he returns for a second time? Do you really think he'll be able to return here for a second time? If he was destined to come here before, he's already fulfilled his fate in this world, which means he no longer has a reason to return here." The Dragon Emperor said.

"If fate allows it, he will definitely return. I also have this feeling that this won't be my last time seeing him." Xi Meili said with a confident smile on her pretty face.

"Even if he is fated to return in the future, who knows when that will be. It could be ten years from now. It can even be ten thousand years from now. We will never know." The Dragon Emperor said.

"So what? We can live up to tens of thousands of years with ease because of our bloodline."

The Dragon Emperor shook his head in a defeated manner.

"Do as you wish. You'll probably forget about him in a few hundred years, anyway." The Dragon Emperor shrugged.

"Do you want to make a bet with me on that, father?" Xi Meili suddenly asked him.

"A bet? Interesting. Tell me more." He said.

"One thousand years— if he doesn't return in one thousand years, I'll marry someone on your terms." Xi Meili then said.

"Y-You're serious about this?" The Dragon Emperor looked at her with wide eyes.

"Does it look like I am joking with you, father?" Xi Meili responded with a solemn look on her face.

"And if he returns before the time limit of one thousand years, I will have to let you marry him without any complaints, right?" The Dragon Emperor then spoke.

Xi Meili nodded, "That's right."

"Very well. I will accept your bet."

"The countdown will start once he leaves this world. Is that okay?" Xi Meili asked.

"I am fine with that."

"Great! Then it's decided!" Xi Meili then turned around and returned to the Dragon Palace with a cheerful aura around her, leaving the Dragon Emperor speechless.

"She really likes him, huh?" The Dragon Emperor shook his head with a bittersweet smile on his face before returning to focus on the teleport formation.

The next day, after eating the breakfast cooked by Meixiu, Yuan went into the game to have his second breakfast for the day with the Royal Family.

"Are you two ready for another day in the city?" Xi Meili asked them with an energetic aura around her.

"I am!" Yuan responded with a similar aura around him.

"Yes." w.a.n.g Xiuying also nodded, albeit a little less excited when compared to Yuan.

Thus, Xi Meili brought them around the city again. However, she didn't bring them towards the Ancestral Dragon Temple this time.

Instead, she brought them to multiple restaurants, showing off their dragon's cuisine, as she knew how much Yuan loved food.

"This is our famous Dragon Meat Skewer! Try it!" Xi Meili handed each of them a skewer.

"D-Dragon Meat?" Both Yuan and w.a.n.g Xiuying looked at her with wide eyes.

Isn't this considered cannibalism if they eat their own kind?

Xi Meili noticed their weird gazes and laughed, "Don't worry, it's not actually 'dragon' meat. I mean it is, but it's not the type you're thinking of."

"Oh…"

They took a bite a moment later.

"Wow! This is so delicious!" Yuan immediately claimed, feeling the meat melt in his mouth before exploding with flavor and spiritual energy.

"Wow, the texture is heavenly. It doesn't feel like I am eating meat at all! I wonder if this is what it would be like eating clouds if we could eat them!" w.a.n.g Xiuying said as she finished the entire skewer in just a few seconds.

"Can I have some more?" She then asked.

"Me too! I also want some more!" Yuan said.

"Are you sure? We finished breakfast not long ago." Xi Meili chuckled before asking for a couple more skewers.
