"The Dragon Azure Clan! Did the Dragon Goddess send you here to get rid of those pests trying to steal our home?!"
The young dragons' eyes sparkled when Yuan mentioned the Dragon Azure Clan.
"Who knows?" Yuan shrugged.
A few of the young dragons then approached Xi Meili and asked her, "Are you also Dragon Goddess Yeyou's envoy?"
"Hm? No, I am not. I am just his traveling companion."
"How old are you, Senior Sister?" one of them suddenly asked. frёewebnoѵēl.com
"I stopped counting after 10,000 years," she calmly stated.
"Huh? You're only at that level even after 10,000 years? You must be very lazy, Senior Sister."
"What?! Who are you calling lazy?!"
Xi Meili's expression froze in disbelief after being called lazy.
Though she was still considered young by dragon standards, the dragons before her were even younger—all under a thousand years old. And yet, each one had a cultivation level that surpassed her own.
Because of this, the young dragons could only view Xi Meili, who was older yet weaker than them, as lazy in their eyes.
"If you're not lazy, why is your cultivation so much lower than ours?" asked one of the young dragons, and the others stared at her with a suspicious gaze.
"T-That's because I grew up in a place with much less spiritual energy than you all!" Xi Meili explained.
Even though she knew she wasn't lazy, Xi Meili couldn't help but feel uneasy under the weight of so many young dragons' doubtful gazes.
Yuan then spoke, "We actually just arrived in the Seventh Heaven."
"Ohh…"
The young dragons nodded their heads as if they understood the situation.
"Then, would you like to train with us, Senior Sister?"
"Of course!" Xi Meili didn't hesitate to accept their offer.
"Have fun," Yuan said with a smile on his face.
Xi Meili nodded and followed the young dragons to the arena, where she began sparring with them first.
Due to their difference in cultivation, they agreed not to use any martial techniques and focused purely on their skills.
"I guess she really wasn't lying. Although her cultivation is lacking, she's very experienced and skillful."
Xi Meili quickly earned the young dragons' respect with her skillful performance.
However, despite her ten thousand years of experience, she was unable to secure a single victory. Out of ten matches, she lost them all.
It wasn't just their superior cultivation—the young dragons possessed exceptional technique, battle sense, and even physique. They were simply incomparably stronger than the dragons she would spar with within the Ancient Dragon City.
"Damn it… I knew I was weak, but I didn't expect myself to be this weak… Is this what it means to be a frog in a well?" Xi Meili mumbled as she lay on the arena, her body soaked in sweat.
"Don't look so down. You're very talented. I'm sure you'll catch up soon," Yuan said as he approached the arena.
Xi Meili turned her head to look at him without getting up and asked, "If I have your 'Seal', would it make it stronger?"
"..."
After a moment of silence, Yuan nodded, "Yes, you would undoubtedly become stronger with the Immortal Monarch's Supreme Seal."
He answered with a serious face.
"However, I won't give you the seal if that's your reason for wanting it."
