Chapter 365 Human (1/2)

”Xing Chongzhi, are you okay?” The judge for stage 7 patted him on the shoulders when he showed no response even many moments after leaving the stage.

”W-What happened to me just now? Why am I standing outside the stage?” Xing Chongzhi finally snapped out of his daze and proceeded to look around with a puzzled look on his face, clearly unaware of what had just occurred.

”You were killed by the young man.” The judge revealed to him.

”What! How is that possible?! I was pretty sure I had him at that moment!” Xing Chongzhi expressed disbelief. In his mind, he'd successfully connected his strike, killing Yuan.

Nobody there blamed him for his reaction, as it was a normal response for someone who'd just experienced the Dragon's Gaze at point-blank.

The judge shook his and began explaining everything that had happened, shocking him even further.

”Dragon's Gaze?! What?!” Xing Chongzhi turned to look at Yuan, who was still standing on the stage, with a flabbergasted look on his face.

”You are part of the Royal Family?!” Xing Chongzhi asked him, as everyone knew that only the Royal Family could learn such a profound technique.

”No?” Yuan said.

”You're not? Then how did you learn the Dragon's Gaze? That's something only the Royal Family can learn!” Xing Chongzhi and the other spectators only became more puzzled after hearing his words.

However, before Yuan could respond, Xi Meili suddenly said, ”He's from the Royal Family.”

”Eh?”

Both Yuan and Xing Chongzhi turned to look at Xi Meili, and on Yuan's face was a surprised look. Since when did he become part of the Royal Family?

'Yuan, just follow along with me for now. I'll explain to you later.'

Xi Meili's voice suddenly resounded inside Yuan's head.

Yuan nodded while looking at her before clearing his throat and speaking out loud, ”T-That's right. I am actually from the Royal Family. I wasn't sure whether I should reveal my identity or not before…”

The spectators gasped in shock after learning this. To think the Royal Family had a third child!

”He may be from the Royal Family, but he isn't related to our Royal Family in the way you're thinking.” Xi Meili suddenly said, clearly that misunderstanding.

”What?”

The spectators' thoughts went wild with theories, and they could only think of one thing after pondering for some time— that Yuan had married into the Royal Family! In other words, he was Xi Meili's husband!

”C-Congratulations, Princess Xi!” The people there suddenly bowed to her.

”Eh?” Xi Meili raised her eyebrows, wondering what they were thinking.

”You have finally found your partner after 10 thousand years! Congratulations!”

The spectators congratulated her again.

”What?!” Xi Meili's eyes widened with shock. How in heaven's name did they get to that conclusion?

”That's wrong! He's not my husband! We're just friends!” Xi Meili refuted their claims with a flushed face.

And she continued, ”Furthermore, he's a human!”

”W-Wait… What? He's a human? How is that possible?” Everybody there turned to look at Yuan with shocked looks on their faces.
