1205 Someone You Can Only Dream Of Becoming

As Yuan slowly descended towards the courtyard, more and more people noticed his presence. By the time Yuan's foot reached the ground, everyone in the courtyard was staring at him with puzzled looks on their faces.

The soldiers thought he was with the Azure Dragon Family at first due to how calmly he behaved, but when they saw the beauty behind him and recognized her identity, they became bewildered.

"Who are you?" Patriarch Liang questioned Yuan with a deep frown on his face, ignoring the fact that Xi Meili had returned for some reason.

When the soldiers realized that Yuan wasn't with them, they immediately prepared to apprehend him. However, since it was just two people against their hundreds, they weren't worried in the slightest.

"Name's Yuan." Yuan casually responded to Patriarch Liang before asking his own question, "Are you the asshole who threatened to harm the Xi Family?"

Patriarch Liang's eyebrows twitched upon being called an asshole. He can't even recall the last time that someone dared to disrespect him so brazenly. The soldiers and the Spirit Emperors beside him were speechless.

But to their surprise, Patriarch Liang didn't immediately punish Yuan. Instead, he remained standing there with a somewhat hesitant look on his face for some reason.

While the soldiers and the Spirit Emperors were too weak to sense it, Patriarch Liang and the other two Spirit Sovereigns there felt an inexplicable sense of dread coming from Yuan, almost as though their instincts were telling them— begging them to stay away from him, an unfathomable threat, at all cost.

"What are you trying to accomplish here?" Patriarch Liang asked him after a moment of silence.

"I think that's obvious. I'm here to prevent you from harming the Xi Family."

Patriarch Liang narrowed his eyes, but before he could say anything, the Spirit Emperors beside him began laughing madly.

"Where did this fool crawl from?! Does he even know what kind of position he's in right now?!"

"Ahaha! I can't believe it even though I am seeing it with my own eyes, but did you really come here thinking that you could stop all of us with just the two of you?!"

Yuan glanced at these Spirit Emperors for a second but didn't bother giving them any attention. He then continued speaking to Patriarch Liang, "According to what I was told, you're going after the Xi Family mostly for their Blood Cleansing Ceremony? If I told you that most of the blood is gone and that you won't be able to benefit from it, what will you do then?"

Patriarch Liang sneered, "Do you really think I would give up on my ambitions because some brat is speaking nonsense? Even if that was the case, there is still plenty to benefit from conquering the Xi Family."

Yuan sighed, "So there is nothing I can do to change your mind that doesn't result in the Azure Dragon Family's destruction?"

Patriarch Liang's eyes widened with disbelief after hearing Yuan's words. The others also stopped laughing to stare at Yuan with deep frowns on their faces.

"Ahaha!" Patriarch Liang suddenly burst out laughing.

"There must be something wrong with me today. To think I had been wary of you."

His laughter halted suddenly, and he proceeded to glare at Yuan with intense killing intent.

"I don't care who you are or where you are from, but you won't get to leave this place alive."

He turned to look at Xi Meili and continued, "I don't know why you decided to return with this nutjob, but you have squandered what little freedom you had left— something that I was generous enough to grant you."

Xi Meili swallowed nervously, but she didn't say anything.

Suddenly, another voice resounded.

"My, my, my! What do we have here?!"

Yuan turned to look at the person who just spoke to see a handsome young man approaching them from a distance.

It was Liang Xuan, who had been absent from the courtyard this entire time.This chapter is updated by novelenglish.net . Fɪre

"Xi Meili, you must have had a change of heart to come back here so quickly. I knew you'd make the right choice. Don't worry, I will keep my promise and take care of you." Liang Xuan spoke in a delighted tone, and on his face was a bright smile.

Xi Meili sneered in disdain, "Don't flatter yourself."

"Who's that?" Yuan asked her.

"The person I came to this city to reject," she calmly said.

"I see…" Yuan immediately understood the situation.

Liang Xuan stopped walking when he finally noticed Yuan.

"Huh? Who the hell are you?" Liang Xuan stared at Yuan with an unpleasant expression on his face.

Even though Liang Xuan didn't know Yuan, he immediately found Yuan's presence to be obnoxious and disliked him, mostly because he instinctively felt inferior to Yuan with just a glance.

"I am—" Yuan tried to speak but was quickly interrupted by Xi Meili, "He's my partner, my beloved, and my future husband."

"What…?" Liang Xuan's eyes widened with shock after hearing her words.

"You heard me. He's the one whom I've dedicated my heart and body to— someone you can only dream of becoming." Xi Meili said in a provocative manner.

After hearing such words, Liang Xuan felt and heard something snap inside his head, and his eyes and face turned red.

He then muttered in a low voice as his body trembled from intense anger, "So he's the reason why you refused my proposal? Does that mean if I get rid of him, you might change your mind?"

However, before Xi Meili could even respond, Liang Xuan suddenly lunged forward, flying towards Yuan with his fangs showing.

"W-Wait! Stay away from him!" Patriarch Liang shouted when he saw this, but Liang Xuan was too angry to hear him.

Liang Xuan arrived in front of Yuan in a split second.

"DIE!!!"

Liang Xuan roared as he swung his claw-like hands that had been reinforced with spiritual energy at Yuan.

Meanwhile, Yuan doesn't even bother to look at Liang Xuan as he flicks his arm at Liang Xuan's face.

Pap!

Liang Xuan was immediately sent flying to the other side of the courtyard like an arrow released from a bow, only stopping once he smacked into the stone wall, smashing a large hole into it.

The result of their clash greatly startled everyone there, especially the soldiers and the Spirit Emperors, as they had expected a totally different outcome.
