The Chaos Dragon Prince

Hours later, Cain and Kali strolled up to the door of a royal descendent imperial chamber. They both were dressed in their usual Dragon robes and appeared to look just slightly more noble than usual.

An odd mood settled between the Dragon siblings.

Cain was calm to an almost perfect degree of being indifferent.

While Kali still felt discontent over having to see the faces of her other siblings. She was even a bit amazed Cain could see such things in a pragmatic light.

The moment before Cain knocked on the door, Kali briefly wondered just how could Cain be so indifferent.

Doesn’t he remember all the humiliation they were put through?

All the discouraging words that treated as less than a person and more of a trash object?

Weren’t these things natural to hold resentment over?

Kali had never truly considered Cain’s mood until this direct invitation to meet with his past tormenters.

Still, she just had to hold her questions in as Cain was already knocking on the door.

The moment Cain knocked, Huang Xun’s calm voice spoke out to them, telling the duo to come in.

Entering the room, Cain and Kali lightly remarked on the scenery.

It wasn’t all that different from their own imperial chambers. Incredibly spacious with shelves of bookcases, objects of their particular interest, and their own large, luxurious bed.

The main attraction of the room was Huang Dai and Xun sitting at a finely decorated dining table that had several cups of tea resting upon it.

Both the table and teacups were genuinely remarkable in design. They both had finely crafted painting arts of Dragons that transcend past mortal abilities.

The Dragon arts seemed as if they were slowly moving, like the actual moving pictures embedded in an inanimate object.

It was captivating to gaze upon, showcasing the noble quality proud and powerful Dragons will naturally have.

Cain’s Spirit Sense promptly detected the table, and teacups designs were crafted by Spirit energy. Very vague fluctuations of Spirit aura exuded from both.

This was incredibly similar to the designs embedded in the battle coliseum.

Cain couldn’t help but wonder if World Spirit Master has an attainment path dealing with some sort of painting path.

But beyond the Dragon paintings, Cain settled his gaze on both Huang Dai and Xun, inspecting every inch of their mood.

Huang Dai was obvious to tell. He had a wary expression plastering his face, and his natural aura felt a bit chaotic.

But at the same time, evident respect nestled in his eyes.

Clearly, he couldn’t quite get over the fact that he was meeting with two Divine Mortals simultaneously.

Huang Xun, on the other hand, was harder to read. She held no discernable expression, being almost indifferently calm.

And yet, her eyes showcased evident respect for Cain and Kali.

As Cain and Kali silently approached the table, Huang Xun took the opportunity to speak first. “Please, sit. I hope this will all be to your liking. It is my first time doing a Dragon tea meeting.”

Huang Dai slowly nodded, adding, “Yea, Dragon tea meetings are supposed to be a big honor between two parties. But for us…I guess none of us really saw a point in hosting one. That is, until now at least.”

When Cain and Kali quietly took their seats, Cain briefly recalled the short history he read on these Dragon tea meetings.

Apparently, they had great use in solving external conflicts with previous rivaling forces.

Whenever the tension becomes too extraneous, a Dragon tea meeting was used in an attempt to mediate conflicts.

After all, despite having powerful military strength, no Holy Land force is really willing to go to war with each other. The resources to do so would be tremendous, far too cost-effective. Many prefer to just absolve conflicts through other means.

The Huang Dragons were no different, using various resources accumulated through history to resolve numerous conflicts.

But this wasn’t the primary use of the Dragon tea meeting. Its real primary purpose is to absolve internal strife conflicts.

Conflicts among Divine bloodline beasts were an actual typical occurrence. These races have a genuine reason to feel as if they were extraordinary from birth.

Most humans are born the same in this universe unless they’re lucky to inherit a Royal rank or even a Heavenly rank high human bloodline.

But Divine beasts quite literally have Divine ranking bloodlines.

They all will have a natural superiority towards the average cultivator and sometimes, even among each other.

This is where the sense of inborn pride comes in for many Huang Dragons.

Many are not willing at all to even treat their fellow Huang Dragons on equal footing. The sense of domination would always be ever-present within their souls.

Thus, the rise of conflicts happens far more often than not. And what is considered an effective way to curb such conflict is a Dragon tea meeting.

In these types of meetings, the Huang Dragons will attempt to come to an understanding with each other.

Whether it’s through directly confronting the underlying issue, using persuasion through resources, or some other means, all would be acceptable as long as it is not through force.

The lack of force wasn’t because the Huang Dragons prompted for a more peaceful environment. But rather, unhealthy rivalries and relationships can snowball into a large chaotic conflict that has the potential to run amok in their hidden world.

Thus, the Dragon tea meetings have an inherent peaceful atmosphere.

And for when there are no underlying issues that need to be confronted, these meetings are an effective way to deepen one’s bond with each other.

Cain had even read a tale where his own grandmother used the Dragon tea meeting to mediate the relationships between the other Ancestors and the great leading Ancestor.

But such thoughts were for another time.

Cain focused on his other Dragon siblings sitting across from him and gave a casual nod. “This really would be the most appropriate move, right? Smoothing out all past relations for a better future.”

“Heh.” Kali loudly snorted as if she had just heard the wildest joke imaginable. “If we’re really putting everything out in the open, then your motives really are laughable. Only when its value in your eyes do you find it right to change the fit. Really, too laughable.”

Her words were blunt and direct, and her tone was piercingly cold, leaving no room for interpretation.

Huang Dai stayed silent, unsure of how to respond to such bluntness. That previous sinking feeling of regret silently emerges from his soul.

All that she said was true, and there wasn’t anything that he could reasonably say without looking like a complete fool.

Rarely would Huang Dai encounter such an awkward situation. He was stumped. Nothing that came to his mind seemed good to say.

But this didn’t hold true for Huang Xun.

Huang Xun actually didn’t miss a beat when replying. Her calm smile seemingly blossomed as she said, “Indeed, we are laughable and bluntly saying it; we should look fake in your eyes. And I will say I truly do regret it now that the circumstances have changed. You two are Divine Mortals, while it will be impossible for us to ever reach such heights. We won’t try and uselessly attempt to justify our past transgression towards you two. But, we wish just for a chance to mend what’s broken, no matter how long it takes.”

The rising momentum of Huang Xun spilled over to Dai as he immediately spoke next. “We are family, but it’s practically engraved into us that we must compete together. But, perhaps this can change? Or at the very least, we can use all of our time to strive for change.”

Huang Dai and Xun’s expressions matched perfectly, looking completely earnest. There was no strange glint in their eyes or hidden meanings in their words. Even their aura was utterly stable.

What they’re expressing is coming from the depths of their souls.

Cain and even Kali felt their minds just slightly stirred.

Dropping one’s pride, bluntly admitting faults, and doing it with clear confidence isn’t an easy skill at all.

Cain and Kali deeply pondered it. They inwardly asked themselves, would they be able to take such steps against people they wronged in the past?

It was an honest question neither could answer at this moment.

But though Huang Dai and Xun appeared confident, they had actually practiced this exact method over and over for days on end.

When speaking about striving for change, they genuinely took the effort for it.

Their intentions for doing so perhaps didn’t come from a pure place. But, with the passage of time, change is inevitable to happen.𝓞𝔳𝑙xt.𝒸𝞸𝓶

Kali proudly crossed her arms, sizing up Huang Dai and Xun for all that they’re worth.

She gave a tiny little snort a moment later. “Hmph. I’ll throw you two a bone. Thinking about myself in your position, I would definitely ignore you two if you were cultivation wastes. There’s no denying it. It’s been engraved into us since birth to value Martial cultivation as everything. After all, without Martial cultivation, without strength, we will be nothing but dogs to those humans or other inferior races.”

Cain gave an amicable smile, following up with Kali. “It really is all about survival, right? I can even say that grandmother taught us to take benefit from other potential relationships. And truthfully, you do have a point. Everything can change within time. We’re definitely willing to extend our range. The God Galaxies is simply far too massive for us to ever get close to fully exploring on our own.”

Nodding in agreement, Huang Xun picked up her teacup while indicating others to do the same.

She said, “Let’s take a drink before we continue on. I actually have something else I want to discuss.”

Cain, Kali, and Huang Dai followed her lead, promptly picking up their teacup for a sweet, refreshing drink.

As the warm liquid drizzled down Cain’s throat, his eyes slightly widened.

The taste of the Dragon tea was incredible!

It directly soothed his whole body like he was basking in warm sunlight.

A captivating tea fragrance drilled into Cain’s noise, somehow enhancing the taste of the Dragon tea.

Cain had one clear praise. ‘This really is some good tea!’
