A few hours after Yuan and Xi Meili were given a living quarter, the Dragon Emperor showed up at their place.
"I have contacted the Azure Dragon Clan, but it may take a few days, if not weeks, before we get a response," he said. "In the meantime, you can treat the Dragon Spiral Mountain as if it's your own home."
"I will do just that," Yuan nodded.
"Would you like to walk with me? I'll give you a tour around the place. There's also a lot I would still like to discuss with you."
"Sure."
"Can I come along?" Xi Meili asked.
"I don't see why you cannot."
As they walked through the residential grounds with the Dragon Emperor leading the way, he suddenly spoke, his tone laced with concern, "How is the Dragon Goddess? Is she… well?"
Yuan nodded and responded, "She's fine."
"May I ask what happened to her? She disappeared right after the Divine Heavens split into the Nine Heavens and hasn't made an appearance until today."
"Let's just say we faced a powerful opponent."
