The banquet lasted 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 become 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 sometime later.
"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 accompany you on your journey," Xi Shengmo declared 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."
