307: Take it back?
The man walked out of the hall and quickly headed towards a certain location.
He had just finished that kind of business, and then he was called to do something.
If it were a normal demon, he probably wouldn't even bother with them.
But this time was different; the demon who invited him was of an extraordinary status.
The other party had noble bloodline, and although their strength was currently similar to his.
In due time, and perhaps not even that long, he would be far surpassed by the other party.
The man knew very well about his own bloodline; with his potential, breaking through one more level would be his limit.
This was the rule of demonic beasts; many powerful demonic beasts were born with great strength.
They didn't need to cultivate; upon reaching adulthood, they would be Demon Emperor Realm or Dragon Emperor.
The more powerful the bloodline, the stricter the limitations imposed by the bloodline would be in the end.
Once the power brought by the bloodline reached its limit, it would no longer make any progress.
But with the other party's support, this limit might even be raised a bit higher.
Even if it wasn't possible, befriending him would make his life in the clan easier in the future.
So the man moved very quickly, afraid of neglecting the other party.
Finally, the man stopped after reaching a certain place.
This was a grand hall, and on its plaque were three demonic characters: Dragon King Hall!
The man gently exhaled, about to find a demon to go in and announce his arrival.
But as soon as this thought arose, a faint rustling sound dispelled it.
The main hall doors slowly opened, and a figure walked out from inside.
This person was young and handsome, with an extraordinary demeanor, a friendly expression between his brows, and was dressed in a gold-patterned satin robe.
Seeing the man arrive, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
He quickly walked up to the man, enthusiastically grabbing his hand and pulling him towards the hall, "Brother Rui, you're finally here! Come, come, let's go inside and talk first."
For a moment, the man was also surprised by the other party's enthusiasm, and without any resistance, he was led into the main hall.
The man blinked, quickly realizing the purpose of his trip.
The other party came to him, so there was clearly something going on inside.
Even though the other party was so enthusiastic, the man dared not be presumptuous at all, and immediately put on a flattered expression, "Dragon King, this is..."
The young man called Dragon King smiled, "It's nothing, just a small matter. The main reason I called you this time is to catch up!"
Catch up?
What's there to catch up on!
The man knew very well that he and this Dragon Emperor were not very familiar.
They could only be considered nodding acquaintances, and had not even exchanged many intimate words.
In this situation, catching up on what? There must be something!
But this was also an opportunity, an opportunity for him to get closer to the other party.
After thinking for a moment, the man said solemnly, "Dragon King, if there's anything I can help you with, please don't hesitate to ask. I will never refuse."
The Dragon King waved his hand, his face full of smiles, "Let's not talk about that, let's not talk about that. Come, drink first, drink first."
Without explanation, he led the man to a table of food and wine.
These dishes and wine were arranged on a table less than one meter in length and width, and there were not many types, only a dozen or so.
The man had heard that the other party had traveled to the human Xuan Domain for a period of time a few years ago.
When he returned, he had learned many human courtesies.
For example, this one in front of him, according to what the other party had brought back.
This was not an invitation to drink and dine, but merely a private gathering between friends.
This posture made the man feel even more that the matter he was asked to do was not simple.
Suddenly, he thought of a recent event. Could it be related to that matter?
Suddenly, the man felt a bit like leaving.
But the other party helped him sit down, and with such a posture, the man couldn't find an opportunity.
Helpless, the man could only speak again, "I wonder what Dragon King wants me to do? There's no need..."
The other party, however, stopped the man from continuing to speak, "Drink first, drink first..."
Saying that, he raised his wine cup and toasted the man, who quickly returned the gesture.
Only then did he realize that the wine in the cup was not their usual spirit wine.
Instead, it was a rare treasure brewed from an extremely precious heavenly and earthly wonder, which had the effect of purifying bloodline and had a certain effect even on the Demon Emperor Realm.
In the Yonggu Taixu Dragon Clan, it was an exceptionally precious type of treasure.
Even if he was a Demon Emperor Realm, he could only get a very small portion each time it was brewed.
But what was in front of him, there was so much of it.
Seeing this wine, the man felt a little hot-headed. Never mind what trouble it might bring, at least he saw the benefits.
Since he couldn't leave now, he might as well drink it.
After a mouthful of wine, he actually felt his bloodline subtly stirring a few times.
Seeing the man opposite him drink the wine, the man called Dragon King's lips curved into a smile.
Then, he chatted and drank with the man, gradually making the atmosphere lively.
Finally, after three rounds of drinks, the Dragon King said somewhat muddle-headedly,
"Alas, Brother Rui, I envy you. You have a companion, you have descendants, a reunited family, and a happy life."
"Unlike me, with all my bloodline strength, in the end, I couldn't even protect my own wife."
As he spoke, a tear unconsciously fell from the corner of his eye, which he silently wiped away with his sleeve.
The man, with a flushed face, said half-jokingly, "What's so good about me? Reaching this point in my life is the end.
You are different; in the future, it's not impossible to cultivate to the ninth level of the Demon Emperor Realm."
The Dragon King pointed to himself, "Me, the ninth level of the Demon Emperor Realm?"
He waved his hand, "Forget it. In this life, as long as Xue'er can stay by my side, I'll be content.
Speaking of which, we're drinking here, and I don't even know where Xue'er and my unborn child are suffering?"
"My heart is full of guilt; I feel like I've let them down, mother and child!"
Saying that, the Dragon King slapped himself hard, "You're so useless, you're such a waste, you can't even protect your wife and children..."
Seeing that he was about to continue hitting himself, the man quickly stood up and walked over to stop him, "Dragon King, Dragon King, don't be impulsive. The Dragon Consort and the others are still waiting for you to pick them up."
Hearing this, the Dragon King became even more dejected, "Alas, it's not that I haven't thought about bringing them over, but after Dragon Emperor Brother found out, for the sake of the Dragon Clan's reputation, he has already restricted me from going out."
Suddenly, the Dragon King looked at the man as if he had thought of something, slapped his thigh, and exclaimed, "That's right, I can't go, but Brother Rui, you can!"
The Dragon King grabbed the man's hand, his eyes full of anticipation, "Brother Rui..."
It's here!
Seeing this scene, the man knew the Dragon King's purpose for seeking him out had arrived.
Thinking of the Dragon Emperor, the man said with some difficulty, "Of course I'm willing to help you, but what about the Dragon Emperor's side...?"
Unexpectedly, the Dragon King patted the man's hand, excitedly saying, "Don't worry, no matter what, Xue'er is my wife, and no matter what, the child in her womb is my son, his nephew.
Once they are truly brought over, Dragon Emperor Brother will not harm them."
