Chapter 1134: Gracious Reception

"I’m sorry, I got too excited! Because there’s always been a myth about this creature in my hometown, so seeing it for the first time today feels particularly familiar." Looking at the blond stranger leading a few attendants standing in front of him, Pei Yan subdued his excitement and spoke with a bit of embarrassment."The first time? No way! Mr. Pei Yan, didn’t you meet Miss Long Jin during the team competition?" Before Pei Yan could answer this question, the blond man suddenly realized, "Oh, I remember now, in that battle, Miss Long Jin never revealed her true form."

Having long heard that Long Jin, who participated in the competition with Saraf, was a high-ranking member of the Dragon Race, Pei Yan had never seen her true form. This time he was able to confirm the news from the other party’s mouth, nodding and smiling: "Right, that’s correct! Sorry, I’ve been talking for so long, but I still don’t know who you are?"

"Hmm, you haven’t seen me, but we are still quite connected. I once stayed at your investigation hall for about two months and fought alongside Mr. Gu and Mr. Lin among others, and my brother and sister have both received your help."

After hearing the lengthy speech from the stranger, Pei Yan’s mind immediately emerged with a name, suddenly realizing: "Oh! Oh! I remember now, I’ve heard Mr. Gu mention you, you’re Salafam, the son of the Dragon King?"

"Indeed, that’s me!"

As he said, this Salafam was indeed the son of the Dragon King. He had come to the present world for the matter involving his sister and participated in the struggle between the headquarters of the investigation hall and the divine artifact theft group. During both events, Pei Yan was not present at the scene, so he only heard the name afterward without ever meeting the person. Seeing him today, Pei Yan nodded with a smile: "I know your sister, but your brother wouldn’t be Saraf, would he?"

"Indeed, during the team competition, you saved his life. Although you also humiliated him, in the finals you defeated Nero, which was considered a revenge, so he thinks you’re even now. If you’re willing to let go of the past, he’s also willing to become friends with you."

"Willing, of course willing, more friends mean more paths! Originally, there wasn’t much hatred between us, it was just youthful impulsiveness." Now surrounded by formidable enemies, it was naturally a good thing for Pei Yan to have one less foe. While agreeing outright, he asked: "How is Saraf’s current condition? At that time, I saw he wasn’t doing too well."

"His life was saved, and now he’s basically regained self-care abilities, but to return to his peak and bear the name Saraf might be very difficult. However, we’re not prepared to give up; my father and the Ancestral God will always come up with ways to help him. I think you came here possibly for this matter." Salafam sighed, regarding his brother’s plight, not showing any joyous expression about possibly assuming power. Compared to the power and bloodline struggles among human relatives, in the Spirit Monster Plane, more emphasis is placed on the connection between bloodlines, serving as a stark irony to the self-proclaimed civilized humans.

"You mentioned the name Saraf, what does it mean? Is Saraf not a name, but an honorary title?" Pei Yan asked, sensing the key issue.

"Yes, in our race, only a Divine Dragon with world-ending power qualifies for this name. Even as strong as my father, due to different attributes, although he is the current Dragon King ruling the entire Dragon Realm, he doesn’t have the right to bear this name! But Saraf does! It’s very rare in our race. In a thousand years, my brother is the second dragon to awaken such a bloodline. He’s the pride of the entire Dragon Race, but now... ." Up to this point, Salafam’s mood became increasingly low.

"Oh, it’s like a genetic mutation." Pei Yan nodded upon hearing, unable to resist blurting out.

"Uh... ."

Seeing Salafam’s awkward expression regarding his statement, Pei Yan laughed and changed the topic: "Well, Mr. Salafam, perhaps my words are a bit offensive but without any malice. I’m just curious about the world-ending power you mentioned. I’ve fought Saraf, and I admit he’s very strong, but that’s all due to being the Child of Origin compared to regular cultivators, besides that, I didn’t feel anything special about him. On the contrary, the pressure your father exerted when appearing in rage was much greater."

"Haha, it’s okay, Mr. Pei Yan. Your candid question shows you genuinely consider us friends. Well, it’s no wonder you have such thoughts." Salafam said this and waved towards the sky, four giant dragons descended in the process of shrinking in size until they turned into the size of a small dragon, landing steadily in front of the group.

Once the dragons stopped, Salafam gently brushed his ring and waved at them, a carriage appeared out of thin air under the source energy’s stimulation, dropping behind the dragons, with dozens of reins automatically extending from below the carriage connecting to the four dragons.

"Mr. Pei Yan, although our Dragon Race also has a hierarchy, we never treat our kind as tools to be driven. This four-dragon carriage is only used to receive foreign dignitaries, and today, you and the esteemed being within you... ." Salafam pointed at the luxurious carriage, proudly explaining to Pei Yan, then lowered his head to look at the garbage lying lazily at Pei Yan’s feet with a sleepy look.

Before coming, Salafam heard about the Divine Dog’s background. Now, few in the Spirit Monster Plane know of its existence, all informed individuals feel exceedingly embarrassed about the garbage’s presence. Strictly speaking, the dog’s status is very high as the only bloodline of the Ancestral God in this world. Among all Beast Race groups in the Spirit Monster Plane, including the two Dragon Races, should the Ancestral God will it, each group would gladly offer their most beautiful members to bear descendants for the Ancestral God. However, the Ancestral God did not choose any group from these races, instead opting to go to the Foundation Plane and chose a low-level beast with no source energy fluctuations, leaving behind his bloodline.

This action made the two Dragon Races ashamed while also feeling complex about the arrival of such a being that could be considered the Spirit Monster Plane’s Young Master. With this sentiment, Salafam looked at the garbage meaningfully and said, "and this esteemed being is a guest worthy of such reception."
