Xuefeng has killed tens of Dragons just a while ago so it would be natural to see the Dragon Queen in a solemn mood. Instead, she approached him boldly with a smile that hid all her motives. If anyone asked him, Xuefeng would rather see anger since it was much more predictable.
"Welcome," Xuefeng greeted while standing up and presented the sofa in front of him. "You must be the Queen of Dragon Race, right? Please, take a seat and have dinner with us. The food in this restaurant is exquisite."
"Thank you for the offer but I'm not really hungry," the Dragon Queen replied politely as she sat down gracefully. "Naturally, I wouldn't reject some wine if you were to pour it for me."
Xuefeng took a good glance at the Dragon Queen, still amazed how dragons could live for so long without needing to do anything. If he wanted to live this long, he had to constantly improve his strength or find a new bloodline.
"Of course, it is the least I can do," Xuefeng agreed as he grabbed the jug of wine and filled a cup for her. "I know our arrival might have caused some disruption but I can assure you that we don't have any ill intentions."
Despite being thousands of years long, the Dragon looked as if she was in her prime with cheerful and gentle features. He couldn't help but get hot auntie vibes from her.
"I have already figured that much," the Dragon Queen nodded as she reached out to accept the wine but instead of taking it directly, she grabbed onto his wrist.
She wasn't using any force and just grazed her fingers against his skin as if she wanted to feel its texture. Xuefeng was about to react when she smiled while looking at him mysteriously and finally took the cup from him.
The Dragon Queen didn't even comment on her action and changed the topic as she glanced at Lisa and Thunder Goddess. "I want to apologize on behalf of my Race. I heard your wife was insulted and I don't condone such behavior. I'm happy you killed the offender as I would do the same."
'She just checked if you have Dragon Bloodline in your body,' Ming reported right away. 'I could feel her release the aura of her bloodline and your Dragon Bloodline reacted to her call. She knows about it now and probably can tell how pure it is.'
'It was bound to happen anyway, but it suddenly gave me an idea,' Xuefeng thought as he pulled away and sat back down between his wives. 'Let's bluff her a bit.'
They have already created a fake background so he could only stick to it and add more elements to their story to make it more believable. Talking about bluffing, it was Xuefeng's most powerful weapon so he would be stupid not to use it.
"I didn't need to do anything," Xuefeng replied casually as he rubbed his wives' thighs. "My wives are strong enough to handle such offenses. I am here to calm them down so they don't cause too much destruction in a place so close to my heart. I really didn't wish to kill anyone but our hand was forced."
"So closed to your heart?" the Dragon Queen repeated with interest.
Xuefeng only smirked as he levitated a snack into his hand. "Didn't you check already? I'm sure you felt my connection to the Dragon Race."
The Dragon Queen's eyes brightened before she showed an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry, was I too rude? I just felt you were really close to me and I wanted to check if I'm right. I sensed you have a really pure Dragon Bloodline that's extremely rare, so I was interested in you."
"It's alright, I don't blame you for that," Xuefeng nodded with a smile and decided to strike. "I was also curious about my origin which is why we decided to take this trip. You see, I have always known about my Dragon Bloodline but only recently did I learn it came from this Realm. Even though it has been thousands of years since my grandpa had contact with a Dragon, I wanted to come here and learn more."
Xuefeng paused and extended his hand. It began to wrap with Dragon scales and turned into his Dragon Claw which the Dragon Queen couldn't help but admire with open eyes. "Who knew the trip all the way from Beyond the Heavens to this small Realm would bear fruits so quickly. It came as a surprise, but I have discovered something unique. I hope you don't mind me sharing."
"Please, please, share with me," the Dragon Queen nodded eagerly while leaning closer to hear him clearly. Her cleavage lowered ever so slightly but Xuefeng was too deep in his act to have any lewd thoughts.
"You see, when I killed that City Lord who didn't want to leave us alone, I decided to extract his Bloodline Essence to see how my own bloodline would react to it," Xuefeng muttered with amazement. "To our surprise, my bloodline became even purer and more complete. Not only did it grow in size while remaining clean of any impurities, it gained all new properties together with this powerful claw. My guess is that I could actually recreate a full bloodline with enough Bloodline Essence."
Xuefeng observed the Dragon Queen and was shocked to see her hands shake. She coughed to hide her reaction and took a big gulp of the strong wine. Even Xuefeng had to drink with small sips but she ended up drinking the whole cup in a single motion.
"I'm glad you like the wine. Let me fill that cup for you," Xuefeng commented and casually poured another cup without getting up from his sofa. "I guess my discovery caused you to misunderstand my intentions. Don't worry, I won't start killing your experts. You gave me respect, so I can only return the same to you. I do think it's a shame to give up on such a project but in the end, I'm not a monster."
"Ehem… So you are saying you can create a Dragon Bloodline that could rival that of our Ancestors?" the Dragon Queen asked while clearing her throat.
"Looking at the strength of a single claw, I think it would be even stronger," Xuefeng replied confidently. "Of course, it would only benefit me, which is why it's unfair for me to even talk about it. I'm just trying to be honest."
"It's alright, I'm glad you told me everything," the Dragon Queen replied with her cheeks flushing under the influence of the red wine. "I actually thought of something and I have a certain proposal for you."
She stood up while gulping down a whole cup and proposed, "Would you mind following me to a private room so we can discuss it?"
Xuefeng raised his eyebrows, not expecting she would actually agree so easily. He was thinking of slowly convincing her on the issue yet she was acting strange.
"Do you mind waiting for a moment?" Xuefeng asked his wives and they nodded, letting him decide. Thunder Goddess was powerful enough to defend Lisa if anything happened.
"I will follow you then," Xuefeng informed, causing the Dragon Queen to blush and lead the way to a nearby private room. He could smell the wine mixed with her perfume as he followed closely behind and the smell only grew stronger when she turned around right after he closed the door.
She looked at his face with a cheerful smile and slowly walked up to him. "Can I trust you?"
"Of course," Xuefeng said confidently while watching her every move. "What did you want to tell me?"
"Hmm…" the Dragon Queen hesitated.
She was just two feet away from him when she suddenly stumbled, almost falling into him. He caught her wrists to stop her from falling and their gazes met as she looked up at him. Her face was red and she looked at him dreamily. "I think you drank your wine too fast."
The Dragon Queen ignored his comment as she leaned on him and muttered softly, "Your Dragon Bloodline. I will help you complete it but in return, I want you to share it with me afterward. We will both get what we want and then forget about what happened. What do you think?"
