1198 Azure Dragon City
Upon arriving at the teleport formation, Xi Meili led Yuan directly to the front of the line.
When the manager there noticed Xi Meili, he immediately rushed over to greet them.
"Welcome, Princess Xi. Where would you like to go today?"
"The Azure Dragon City."
"Understood. Please give us a minute to prepare the formation."
While the manager arranged the formation, everyone in that area was staring at Yuan and Xi Meili.
"I wonder what they're going to do in Azure Dragon City."
"Judging by Princess Xi's formal wear, she's probably there for some important business. Perhaps with the Azure Dragon Family, since there has been a rumor about the Xi Family and Azure Dragon Family finally getting together."
Despite the amount of years the Azure Dragon Family and the Xi Family have coexisted in this realm, they have never joined together as a family and would rather mind their own business within their own city. In fact, they rarely contacted each other, only doing so during unforeseen events.
However, the Azure Dragon Family finally decided that it was about time they joined together. Xi Shengmo agreed when he was confronted about it, hence the current situation.
Once the teleport formation was prepared, Xi Meili and Yuan entered it, teleporting directly outside the Azure Dragon City.
"Yuan, I am going to meet with the Azure Dragon Family first. You can look around the city until I am done. It shouldn't take long. I will find you when I am done."
"Alright." Yuan didn't bother asking her how she would find him in this vast city, as he was sure that she had her own unique ways.
"See you in a bit then. Try not to cause any trouble!" Xi Meili said to him as she flew away, entering the city through the sky.
When the guards saw that someone was trying to enter the city through the sky, their initial reaction was to stop them. However, after seeing this invader's face, these guards halted and sighed, "It's the Xi Family's little princess. Captain said that she'd show up sometime today and be on the lookout for her."
One of the guards then went to notify the Azure Dragon Family of Xi Meili's arrival.
Meanwhile, Yuan approached the city through the front gates.
The guards were stunned when they saw him, who gave off the aura of a royal, but they didn't recognize him in the slightest.
"Who is that?"
"I don't recognize him, either."
Once Yuan was close enough, one of the guards approached him in a respectful manner, "Greetings, Young Master. If you don't mind me asking, where are you from? And what business do you have at our humble Azure Dragon City?"
"I am from Ancient Dragon City, and I am here to sightsee." Yuan calmly responded.
'Just to sightsee?' The guard wondered inwardly.
"So this is your first time visiting our city? Can you put your hands on this for a second?" The guard showed him a crystal ball.
Yuan placed his hand on the crystal ball. It shone bright blue a moment later.
"Thank you very much. Here is your pass. You may stay in the city for a maximum of 3 months. If you wish to stay longer, please come back here."
"Alright." Yuan entered the city after accepting the guest pass.
Compared to the Ancient Dragon City, which has a more traditional feel and a serious atmosphere, the Azure Dragon City was much brighter and felt more exciting, almost like comparing a street filled with bars with a street filled with stores. The buildings were also built differently, as well as the pedestrian's fashion.
Yuan stood before the entrance for a good minute, admiring the view. Once he was satisfied, he started wandering the streets.
Naturally, his appearance immediately attracted those around him, causing them to stare intensely.
"Who is that handsome young man? There's no way I wouldn't recognize someone as eye-catching as him!"
"He's probably not from this city. Gold hair… That's a signature of those from the Ancient Dragon City."
Sometime later, Yuan took notice of a certain scent in the air that made his mouth start to salivate. He immediately followed the scent, which led him to a tall restaurant that had seven floors.
He approached the entrance, where a handsome young man was standing with a pamphlet in his hands.
"Good morning. May I have your name?" The young man asked him when he approached.
"Yuan."
The young man began looking through his pamphlet. When he didn't see Yuan's name, he asked, "I don't see your name. Do you have a reservation?"
"I don't. There's no walk-in?"
"Unfortunately." The young man shook his head.
"Is that so… Then can I make a reservation right now?"
"In that case, I will put you down for next year."
"Next year?! The wait is that long?!" Yuan was baffled.
The young man nodded with a smile, "Our Azure Dragon's Retreat is the highest rated restaurant in the entire world across all three cities, after all. In fact, our longest wait time was 12 years, so you're quite lucky to only need to wait a year."
Yuan sighed, "I see… forget it then. Sorry to bother you."
Just as Yuan turned around and began walking away, a clear voice resounded from somewhere above him.
"Please wait a moment!"
Yuan turned around and looked at the sky to see a figure jumping out of a window from the seventh floor of the restaurant.
This figure landed right in front of Yuan.
"Um… I happened to overhear your conversation! If you'd like, you can eat with me and my friends!" This individual was a beautiful young lady with light blue hair and golden eyes. She had a pale complexion, and her cheeks were rosy for some reason.
Seeing this as a chance, Yuan didn't refuse and nodded, "If you don't mind having me."
"Of course not! I am the one who invited you, after all! By the way, I'm Azure. Nice to meet you!" The blue-haired girl smiled at him.
"Azure…?" Yuan's body instinctively froze for a second as another individual with the same name appeared inside his head.
He quickly snapped out of it and smiled back, "Nice to meet you, Azure. You can call me Yuan."
After their brief introduction, Azure led Yuan inside the restaurant.
