Free Web NovelChapter 556: The Truth
The reason to it all is too lengthy, but Su Xiaotian, as he listens to these ladies collectively tell their entangled stories from each of their own perspective, he was able to boil their several hour-long storytelling to one simple idea. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
That they were truly the closest of friends, and yet because of the draconic race’s power that goes beyond what any of their families and backers can handle, even with combined forces, can handle, they caved in to power.
Not because of the temptation of being able to wield even just the tiniest portion of it, but rather from the fear of the possibility of this very power, the might of the dragons, being pointed exactly towards those they hold dear.
And among these ladies, the only one whose backing is powerful enough to fend off from a complete assault from the dragons is the vampire’s royal princess, Lucille, with her mother and grandmother being the greatest deterrence that prevents the draconic race from waging a war against her own race.
But what about the remaining ones?
The beastkins, fierce and powerful against anyone under the same realm and level of strength, but paling in comparison against the dragon’s foundations.
The demons, particularly the dream demons, being physically weaker despite excelling in illusion magic, with the dragons’ gifts allowing them to see through to all lies and deception to some degree, making it a bad match-up for these masters of illusions.
The elves, although prideful, no, confident, and skillful with their crafts, with their daggers and bows, with their attunement with nature, are nonetheless paling in comparison to the great being’s harmony with the world itself.
Even united, it seems that these races fall short when facing a dragon’s might. frёewebnoѵēl.com
And they believed that there other than the current vampire race, there are no other races in this continent, in this world of theirs, that is strong enough to produce a monstrous talent capable of going on equal terms against the dragons.
But here they are, standing, bearing their very being witness to an existence that perfectly fits that assumption of impossibility, a young man from a completely different race, an inferior one at that, singlehandedly suppressing the entirety of this continent’s greatest young geniuses.
All that seemingly without any effort on his part at all.
"I see... although the scale is larger since it involves the entire continent, stories like this is quite frequent from where I came from..."
The immortal-like young man said with a comforting tone, his deep voice subconsciously soothing the ladies as they finished their story, the young man even adding something just to himself as he recalled the things his own mother told him about why she and his second mother are a little awkward when they first met.
And that is due to the fact that due to the foolishness of youth, Bai Anxin at one point, reached a state of spite and anger towards Su Meiyao.
This is also the very reason as to why he believes that there is still a chance to salvage, even possibly completely fix the relation between these young ladies, these top geniuses of the Western Continent.
’After all, it’s the same thing, a trash thinking he can keep precious gems for himself...’
He thought in his mind without remorse despite speaking badly about his own biological father, the number of things said person had done against him something that he can tolerate, but the fact that he had deceived, made his mother suffer something that he just cannot forgive.
Especially when he knew that the Extreme Martial Sect is one of the greatest reasons as to why both his birth mother and step mother, as well as his two grandmothers, ended up with such unfortunate death in the previous timeline.
He doesn’t let his mind roam around such thoughts any longer as he realized the crux of the issue between these ladies, a faint smile appearing on his face as with the level of strength the practitioners of this continent had shown so far, he is pretty confident that he can help them solve this dilemma of theirs.
’The problem is that Divine-level being hiding somewhere in the continent... best case scenario, they should be neutral, but given the kind of warnings both my older self and Xiaoyao had been giving me about them...’
He pauses for a while, feeling a problem brewing causing him to want nothing more than to massage his forehead, something that he had never done during his entire life in this world.
’I hope they won’t give me problems...’
He added as he pushed the worries to the back of his mind, snapping back to what is happening in around him in this moment, that faint, confident smile getting a bit wider as relief adds up, seeing the ladies seemingly starting to open up to each other.
It doesn’t take long for the beastkin’s sharp senses to pick up on the gaze that is falling upon her, or rather, upon everyone else in this room, prompting her to move her gaze away from her old friends she is starting to mend ties with, her eyes falling upon the only person in the room whom she met for the first time.
She was met with a surprise as she witnessed the warm, relieved smile on his handsome, immortal-like face, that deep, fond gaze causing her to jerk her head away from his sight as she tries her best to act natural, pretending like she didn’t see such look from him at all.
’Cute...’
Of course, to the senses of Su Xiaotian’s caliber, that sneaky look from the beastkin lady doesn’t seem sneaky at all and in fact, due to his sharp senses, that sneak peak looks more like the lady wanting nothing more than him noticing her act.
And notice, he did, allowing him to see that surprised reaction from the curious lady, her hasty, lady-like response contrasted by her fierce, valiant beauty creating a charming contrast that made the immortal-like young man want nothing more than to tease her further.
"Now that we did it however, I don’t think that dragon prince is just going to let things pass that easily..." with their conversation going further, it is inevitable that they would touch upon the consequences of their previous act of rebellion against the Great Ones.
There is a palpable tension in the air as those words were mentioned by the most rational amongst the five of them, the elven priestess, Alfia, her melodious voice hanging not like wind chime, but metal blades waiting to fall down everyone’s neck.
It is true, they feel pressured from their decision, they are still in their youth, after all, and yet even then, each and every single one of these ladies, the beastkin’s successor, the elven priestess, the dream demon’s princess, regrets nothing about it.
They felt like it had been too long since they refuse to back down from a threat, and add to that this side having someone of such caliber as Su Xiaotian, they couldn’t help but hope, hope that they will no longer be constrained by the dragon race and its prince’s greed for their coming days.
"If it’s just that, there’s no need to worry too much about it."
