Chapter 618 - Can I See Your Horns? (1/2)
'Should I tell her the truth? But if they learn that I am not from the royal family… No, I should pretend to be a Dragon Emperor for my own safety…'
After pondering for a moment, Yuan has decided to act as though he was from the Royal Dragon Family, as he would be killed if he wasn't.
”That's right, I am indeed from the Royal Dragon Family,” he said to Shen Shi in a calm voice.
Of course, Shen Shi wasn't completely convinced by his words, as there are several questionable points about his claims.
First, why has he kept his identity a secret until now? If he'd revealed his identity earlier, he wouldn't have been treated so roughly.
Secondly, he didn't have concrete proof that he was from a royal family, and they won't be able to verify his identity until they bring him back to their family, where the tools to verify his identity is available.
The Dragon Spatial Ring and the Golden Dragon Robe may convince a lot of people, but it won't fool the real royal family.
”Can you prove it?” Shen Shi suddenly asked him, still with a smile on her face.
And she continued, ”Don't misunderstand my intentions, Senior Yuan, but I have never seen a Dragon Emperor before, and I want to know for sure so that you can receive my family's full support.”
”I don't blame you for being skeptical. Alright, I will prove it.” Yuan said to her before closing his eyes.
After a moment of silence, he opened his eyes and activated Dragon Gaze, causing his eyes to glow golden and emit an intimidating aura.
”?!?!”
When Shen Shi experienced Yuan's Dragon Gaze, her body trembled from excitement and fear at the same time even though her cultivation base was far higher than Yuan's.
'It's really the Dragon's Gaze! And it's so much more powerful than mine! He's the real deal! A real Dragon Emperor!' Shen Shi clenched her fists and jaws just to keep her emotions in control, but her heart was pounding with excitement.
After experiencing Yuan's powerful Dragon's Gaze, Shen Shi stood up before kneeling in front of him, ”Please forgive this Junior for doubting the Senior's identity. Our Shen Royal Family will do everything in our power to protect Senior even if it means war against the Fairy Paradise.”
”War? Calm down. I do not wish for any wars because of me.” Yuan quickly shook his head.
”Then if there's anything this Junior can do to help you…”
Yuan nodded and said, ”I'd like some information about this place. You see, I accidentally got transported to this place, so I am a little clueless at this moment.”
”S-So that's what happened…” Shen Shi mumbled in a low voice. This explained why he was a Dragon Emperor and they didn't recognize him! To think that he'd been transported here by accident!
”Although such incidents are rare, it's not unprecedented. Since you're a Dragon Emperor, I assume that you came from the upper heavens?”
”S-Something like that.” Yuan quickly nodded.
If she knew that he came from the Lower Heavens, that would instantly give away his identity.
”Anyway, allow me to tell you about our humble world, Senior.”
