Chapter 1238 Furious Dragon


    The banquetsted for several days, and during this time, Yuan stuffed his face with very few short breaks in between.


    "It''s like you have never eaten before…" Xi Murong was astonished by Yuan''s bottomless appetite as the food on their table disappeared faster than it could be replenished.


    "I think it''s due to my transformation. I might have used a little too much energy." Yuan said.


    "That''s only natural since we consume more energy when we are transformed. It might even be worse for you since you are a human." Xi Mingze said.


    "Speaking of transformation, it seems you''ve finally returned to your original form. What a pity. I really liked your dragon appearance." Xi Mingze sighed.


    "Can you transform again if you want to?" Xi Shengmo suddenly asked.


    "I don''t know. I haven''t tried to yet." Yuan shook his head.


    "Just like your ''Dragon''s Authority,'' I believe it''s worth delving into. If you can transform at will, it could be a valuable technique to have up your sleeve in emergencies," Xi Meili said.


    "I will." He nodded.


    "So, what will you be doing after you return to the outside world?" Xi Shengmo asked him sometimeter.


    "I''m not exactly sure yet, but I do have some unfinished business. After that, I''ll probably start preparing to enter the Fourth Heaven."


    "And to think you were still in the Lower Heaven only a year ago." Xi Mingze sighed in awe.


    Once the banquet was over, Yuan returned to his room to rest for the day.


    Meanwhile, Xi Shengmo called for Xi Meili''s presence.


    "Why are we in the treasury, father?" Xi Meili asked him.


    Xi Shengmo didn''t respond to her and led her to the most secure and deepest part of the treasury, where a certain weapon was resting.


    "Dragon''s Soul?" Xi Meili mumbled the name of the weapon when she saw it.


    "As you''re already aware, the Dragon''s Soul is the treasured legacy of our family, an inheritance that has traversed generations,"


    "Today, I shall entrust this cherished legacy to you, to apany you on your journey," Xi Shengmo dered solemnly, his words carrying the weight of generations past and future.


    "Huh?" Xi Meili''s eyes widened with surprise upon hearing this.


    And she quickly said, "But it doesn''t even respond to me. It''ll only be wasted on me. You should keep it here in case someone who can wield is it born."


    Xi Mingze, who was there with them, spoke, "When I wielded the Dragon''s Soul during my spar with Yuan, it had a reaction, almost as though it was trying to wake up. I thought I was just imagining it at that time, but now, I believe it was reacting to Yuan''s presence."


    Xi Meili pondered her words and spoke a momentter, "Now that you mention it, the Dragon''s Soul had a reaction when I used it, and Yuan was nearby."


    "Anyways, if the Dragon''s Soul is reacting to Yuan, why are you giving it to me? He should be the one to receive it, not me."


    "I am entrusting it to you instead of Yuan because I swore upon my soul that I would not give it to someone who is not part of the family, as much as I want to do so, and he is not officially part of the family even if we recognize him as family. However, you never made such a pact, so you can hand it to him without worrying about your soul shattering."


    "I see…" Xi Meili finally understood the situation.


    "Of course, we have something else for you." Xi Mingze smiled.


    She proceeded to retrieve another spear and offered it to Xi Meili. N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    "Mother… this is…" Xi Meili nearly gasped in shock after seeing the weapon in her mother''s grasp.


    "Indeed, this is Furious Dragon, my own personal weapon. It was given to me by your father after our marriage, but I barely got to use it. So, instead of letting it rot in storage, I have decided to give it to you— with your father''s approval, of course."


    "Are you sure, mother…?" Xi Meili swallowed nervously, her hesitation as clear as day.


    "Take it. I prefer using my hands, anyway." Xi Mingze chuckled.


    Xi Meili turned to look at Xi Shengmo, who nodded his head in approval.


    "Thank you, mother! Thank you, father!" Xi Meili epted the spear with a bright smile on her face.


    "It may not be a Soul Weapon like the Dragon''s Soul, but it''s a Mythic-grade spiritual treasure nheless, and it was forged by the renowned Huo Dragon Family. You may not be familiar with their name, as they chose to remain outside this world, but they were a famous family of cksmiths back in the day, and it was an honor to have something crafted by them even for those with royal bloodlines." Xi Shengmo exined.


    "Soul Weapon or not, I will treasure it!" Xi Meili said as she caressed the spear lovingly.


    "Don''t forget this one." Xi Shengmo said as he handed her the Dragon''s Soul.


    Xi Meili nodded and stored both spears in her spatial ring shortly after.


    "Take this one, too. It has some essentials for your journey, such as medicine and cultivation resources." Xi Mingze handed a different spatial ring to her.


    Xi Meili epted the spatial ring with a solemn expression, and she said, "This feels really weird… I never thought I would actually leave this ce…"


    Xi Mingze suddenly hugged her and said, "This is your first step to bing independent— your first step towards the unknown. It''s only natural that you feel a little nervous."


    "It''s not toote to change your mind." Xi Shengmo said in a somewhat joking tone.


    "No, I won''t. Just as Mother said, I am a little nervous about leaving you guys, but I am also very excited to explore the unknown. And it''s not like I will be doing this by myself. I will have Yuan and the others by my side." Xi Meili said with a resolute expression on her face.
