1203 War(2)

"You don't need to give me an answer right away." Azure continued with a smile on her face after seeing Yuan's face.

The Azure Dragon Family encourages its descendants to have multiple concubines because of their desire to grow bigger. This is one of the reasons why they were able to reach their current status— by joining bigger families and creating connections until they are at the very top.

Unfortunately for her, Yuan had no intention of becoming someone's concubine.

Without needing to even think about it, Yuan shook his head and spoke in a soft voice, "I'm sorry, but I will have to refuse your offer."

Azure's expression froze for a good moment after hearing his answer.

After a moment of awkward silence, she tried her best to keep a smile on her face as she spoke, "Can you give me your reasons? Is there anything I can do to change your mind?"

"There really isn't any special reason for my refusal. And I don't think there is anything you can do to change my mind. Sorry." Yuan apologized again.

"Is that so…" Azure immediately lowered her head with a dejected look on her face.

Seeing this, Guo Xing and Wang Jun became enraged.

"You bastard! You think you're hot shit because you're a little handsome?!" Guo Xing slammed the table with his fists, causing the plates to jump.

"Know your place, you mere commoner! You should be rejoicing at the fact that someone like Azure would be willing to accept someone like you into her family!" Wang Jun roared.

Azure did not say anything regarding their remarks, almost as though she couldn't even hear them.

Li Na and Zhu Ling exchanged worried glances with each other, as they did not like where the atmosphere was heading.

The only person who was calm in the room was Yuan himself.

He turned to look at Guo Xing and Wang Jun and spoke in a nonchalant voice, "Why are you upset that I refused her offer? Are the two of you, by any chance, her concubine?"

"What?!" They looked surprised by his question.

"You're not?" Yuan tilted his head with a puzzled look on his face.

"You are the first person I have made that offer to…" Azure suddenly spoke in a low voice.

Although neither Guo Xing or Wang Jun were Azure's concubines, they were certainly aiming for such a position, hence why they keep trying to appeal to her.

After another moment of awkward silence, Yuan spoke, "I am delighted that you think so much of me that you'd want me as your concubine even though we've only just met, but I cannot respond to your feelings. I am just not the type to live such a life."

"Heh. He probably thinks that he's too good to be a concubine and wants to start his own family." Wang Jun sneered.

"Even if that were true, what's wrong with that?" Yuan raised an eyebrow, and he continued, "I don't see anything wrong with wanting to start a family. Though, if you only care about status and your own standing, I can see why you care about that."

"You dare mock me?!" Wang Jun stood up with a red face, his peak Spirit King cultivation gushing out of his body.

"H-Hey! Calm down!" Li Na exclaimed.

"Do not forget where we are! You'll be banned for life if you cause any trouble here!" Zhu Ling added.

Hearing their words, Wang Jun quickly calmed down.

The Azure Dragon's Retreat has connections to many influential people around the world because of their popularity, so it wasn't wise to cause a ruckus there.

Yuan looked around the room in silence before picking up his cup of tea and drinking the rest of it in one motion.

After placing the empty cup back down, he stood up and spoke, "Looks like it's about time for me to go. Thank you for the meal, it was delicious."

"Wait! You think you can just leave whenever you please?!"

Yuan raised an eyebrow and said, "If you want me to pay for my food, I don't mind, even though it was supposed to be free."

"That's not what—"

"Stop it." Azure suddenly interrupted.

She stood up and faced Yuan.

"I'm sorry for everything. I didn't mean for things to get this hostile and awkward for you, and you have every right to refuse my offer, so don't worry about it. Of course, the meal is also on me." Azure tried her best to force a smile on her face, ending up with a stiff smile.

"Thank you." Yuan smiled back.

"If… If you ever change your mind, you can come to me. There will always be a spot for you." Azure said, clearly still not giving up on her offer.

Yuan silently nodded.

Just as Yuan turned around to walk away, a voice resounded in his head, "You will regret offending me today."

Yuan glanced at Wang Jun, who just spoke to him using divine sense.

However, before he could say anything, another voice resounded, but it could be heard by everyone in the room.

"Yuan!"

Before anyone there could react, a shadow appeared from the window that Azure had jumped out of not too long ago.

When they turned to look at the window, they were graced by a beautiful young woman with golden hair and eyes.

"Princess Xi?! What are you doing here?!" Azure exclaimed in a surprised voice.

However, Xi Meili ignored her and walked straight to Yuan.

"Yuan! We need to leave immediately!" She said to him.

Yuan raised an eyebrow at her appearance.

"What's wrong? You don't look so good. Did something happen?" He asked her.

"The Azure Dragon Family waged war on the Xi Family!" Xi Meili said, dropping this bomb on everyone in the room.

"What?" Yuan's eyes widened with surprise.

"You heard me! The Azure Dragon Family will be attacking soon, so we don't have much time to spare here! Let's hurry up and get out of here before they trap us in here!" Xi Meili repeated.
