"I have already spoken and settled things with the Dragon Emperor, so why are you trying to start something you cannot end properly, Dragon King?" Tan Songyun removed her veil again, revealing her face to him.
"Y-you are!" the Dragon King swiftly recognized her beautiful face, "You're the Zither Goddess—the one who was always beside the Fairy Empress! You left the Fairy Paradise and ascended to the Sixth Heaven just a few hundred years ago, and you've already managed to become an Immortal?!"
Not only was Dragon King familiar with her, he'd seen her on multiple occasions with the Fairy Empress. Although they were not friends, they were somewhat acquaintances.
"What in heaven's name are you doing at my Shen Family, harassing the Dragon Emperor and the Xi Family?! Do you have any idea what kind of trouble you're stirring up?! Not even the Fairy Empress could save you if you offend a Dragon Emperor, much less the Xi Family!" the Dragon King exclaimed, becoming even more aggregated after learning of her identity.
"It's none of your business, and even if the Dragon Emperor comes for my life, I won't ask for any help," said Tan Songyun.
The Dragon King sucked his teeth and sneered, "I see that you're still the same resentful individual as before, even after hundreds of years and becoming an Immortal."
"Anyway, even if you don't ask for help, your actions can still affect those around you. Don't drag my Shen Family into your mess because if anything happens to us, I'll haunt you after my death."
Tan Songyun sneered and said, "Thanks for the warning. As a thank you, let me give you some good information. That Dragon Emperor with your Shen Family… is a fake."
"W-what the fuck are you saying?! How can the Dragon Emperor be fake?! His presence alone caused my bloodline to tremble, and I am a Dragon King! Besides a Dragon Emperor, what could possibly cause such a reaction?!" the Dragon King refused to believe Tan Songyun.
Tan Songyun then asked, "First and foremost, why would a Dragon Emperor come down to the Fifth Heaven?"
"He's on an important mission—and don't even bother asking me about it. I can't tell you."
"And what do you even know about Dragon Emperors? Although you are considered royalty in the Fifth Heaven, you're not even worth being servants of the Royal Families in the upper heavens."
"Dragon Emperors are beings who spend most of their time seated on their thrones, delegating their every command to their servants. They almost never involve themselves personally unless their status is at stake. Aside from the Dragon Ancestor, not even the Royal Dragon Families can compel them to act."
"You make it sound like you know them personally!" the Dragon King sneered, still refusing to believe Tan Songyun.
"You're right. I don't know any Dragon Emperors, but I know many who do. I joined a faction called the Vengeful Fairies in the upper heavens. Perhaps you have heard of them?"
