Chapter 615 - Royal Dragon Family
'A bottle that seems to contain some sort of blood essence, life-saving treasures, a demon core, and even the Seven Colored Herb?! This man is loaded with treasures!' The disciple cried inwardly when she saw the treasures on the floor, feeling a strong urge to take them for herself.
Of course, with Elder Xue standing right beside her, she didn't dare to actually act upon her desires.
As for Elder Xue, she couldn't care less about the treasures, and the only thing in her sights right now was the Golden Dragon Robe.
'He not only has a Dragon Spatial Ring, but he also has a Golden Dragon Robe… I will be damned if he's not part of the Royal Dragon Family!' Elder Xue sighed inwardly.
After seeing the Golden Dragon Robe, Elder Xue was almost convinced that Yuan belonged to the Royal Dragon Family. The only thing that didn't make sense was Yuan's behavior, as he was being oddly quiet and obedient even in such a situation.
If he was actually from the Royal Dragon Family, he would've long revealed his identity so that they couldn't just kill him.
'Maybe he has a reason that forbids him from revealing his identity?' Elder Xue wondered to herself.
"You can put your stuff back inside the storage ring." Elder Xue said to him a moment later.
'Eh?'
Although Yuan was surprised by her words, he didn't question it and immediately stored his treasures back into the Dragon Spatial Ring.
Elder Xue then asked him, "Who are you? Why did you come to the Fairy Paradise? Men are forbidden from stepping inside this land regardless of your status and reason."
'Men are not allowed here? This explains why I am being treated like this…' Yuan sighed inwardly as he finally realized the situation.
"My name is Yuan, and like I'd said multiple times by now— I didn't come here by choice. I was teleported here by accident after touching the Zither Goddess' immortal cave, and I have never even heard of a Fairy Paradise until today."
"Zither Goddess?" Elder Xue raised her eyebrows upon hearing this name, but it didn't seem like she knew of the Zither Goddess.
"Anyways, you'll be staying here until we can verify your identity. If you try to escape… You'll know what will happen to you, right?" Elder Xue then said to him.
"Yes, I know…" Yuan nodded.
Elder Xue turned to look at the disciple and said, "Continue watching over him. If he tries to leave or does anything funny, put him back in the chains."
"I-I understand." The disciple nodded, and she noticed that Elder Xue didn't specifically tell her to 'kill him', which would be the normal command.
'This man must have a special status… This is the first time that a man has been allowed to enter the Fairy Paradise without getting executed immediately…' The disciple thought to herself.
After Elder Xue left the scene, Yuan tried to log off the game, but to his surprise, he was still unable to leave due to still being in a hostile situation.
'Does this mean I am stuck inside this game until they no longer see me as a threat? How long is that going to take?' Yuan sighed inwardly.
Meanwhile, somewhere in this world, an hour after leaving, one of the sect elders from the Fairy Paradise arrived at the Royal Dragon Family's residence with the help of a powerful flying treasure.
"Halt! State your identity and your purpose for visiting the Royal Family!"
The guards at the residence stopped this sect elder, and they were all emitting a unique aura that only belonged to dragons.
"I am Elder Zou from the Fairy Paradise, and we believe that a man from the Royal Dragon Family has broken our law by entering our territory, so I am here to seek for an explanation from the Royal Family!"
"What? Someone from our family entered the Fairy Paradise? That's impossible! Everybody is aware of the law! And we have no reason to enter the Fairy Paradise!" The guards immediately refused to believe that someone from their family would do such a thing.
"I don't care what you have to say! That man who intruded our place had a Dragon Spatial Ring with him, and only the Royal Dragon Family would have such a thing! Even if he's not part of the Royal Family, he's definitely connected to you guys one way or another!" Elder Zou said.
And she continued, "If you're telling me that he doesn't belong to the Royal Dragon Family then we will execute him right now!"
The guards immediately began sweating after hearing such words.
What if someone from the Royal Dragon Family had really snuck inside the Fairy Paradise? That would be disastrous if true!
"P-Please wait a moment. I will notify the Dragon King of the situation right now." One of the guards said to her before entering the massive palace behind them.
"Your Majesty! We have an emergency!" The guard rushed to the Dragon King's room and knocked on it.
"What happened?" The door opened a moment later, and a handsome middle-aged man with two bright golden horns on his head appeared before the guard.
"Elder Zou from the Fairy Paradise is here, and she claims that someone from the Royal Family had intruded their territory." The guard explained the situation to the Dragon King.
"What? Someone from my family snuck inside the Fairy Paradise? How is that possible? Who did it?!" The Dragon King was immediately enraged to hear this news, but he was also in disbelief, as he couldn't imagine somebody from his family would do such an idiotic thing.
"She didn't give us any names. In fact, she only 'believes' it was someone from our family because that person has a Dragon Spatial Ring," said the guard.
"Bring her inside! I want to speak with her personally!" The Dragon King commanded.
"Yes! Please excuse this subject!" The guard bowed to the Dragon King before returning to Elder Zou and the others.
"The Dragon King wishes to speak with you… Please follow me."
