Chapter 294 Choosing a Concubine
Upper Realm Dragon Clan.

After two days of soaking and baptism in the sacred pool, coupled with various precious natural treasures, Xuan Yuanming's strength has recovered to the eighth rank.

No sooner had he left the Dragon Clan Sacred Pool than he was summoned to the Dragon Abyss Palace by Xuan Yuanhao's attendant.

Inside the Dragon Abyss Palace, several dragon elders had already gathered.

Upon seeing Xuanyuan Ming appear, all the elders cast curious and inquisitive glances their way.

It's clear that they had heard about Xuan Yuanming's amnesia, his discovery of the truth, and his angry act of forcibly ending his partnership with Su Xiyue.

It's not just a rumor; this matter has spread like wildfire throughout the entire Upper Realm, and almost every beast knows about it.

Xuanyuan Ming paid no attention to the strange and probing looks from the elders, and stepped into the main hall without glancing to the side.

"I met my father."

He stopped in the center of the hall and nodded slightly to Xuan Yuanhao, who was sitting in the main seat.

"Haha, Ming'er has emerged from seclusion. Is she feeling better?"

Xuan Yuanhao was very happy to see his son, and as he spoke, he got up and walked down.

"Thank you for your concern, Father. I'm much better now."

Xuan Yuanming's voice was indifferent, then his gaze turned to Xuan Yuanhao, "I wonder what business Father has with my servant summoning me here?"

Xuan Yuanhao chuckled twice. "I called you here to inform you that the invitations have been sent to all the clans. Tomorrow is the day of the banquet, and the clan leaders and elders will bring their noble wives. I am holding this banquet to celebrate your awakening and to choose your principal wife. Don't be stubborn tomorrow."

He was really worried about his son, fearing that the scoundrel would go crazy again and ruin the banquet.

That's why I specifically called him over to give him some instructions.

"Father, you are overthinking it. I will certainly attend the banquet on time tomorrow and choose a well-educated and courteous noblewoman as my principal wife."

After leaving those words, Xuanyuan Ming turned away indifferently. Just as he was about to leave the Dragon Abyss Palace, he subconsciously pressed his hand to his heart.

The place was so empty that it made him want to kill someone.

Xuanyuan Hao did not notice his son's unusual behavior. Seeing that the other party readily agreed, he felt relieved.

As soon as Xuanyuan Ming left the Dragon Abyss Palace, Sui Chu Jinghong stepped forward to report: "Young Master, the Xuanjia Guards have already departed for the Lower Realm..."

Xuanyuan Ming did not stop walking, his dark golden eyes sweeping over the distant sea of ​​clouds: "Let's go then. Father has always been sensible in his actions."

He suddenly stopped and looked at the faint outline of the mountains on the horizon.

As long as his dragon claws tear through the void, he can travel through there to the lower realms.

For a moment, he absurdly wanted to chase after them and ask them what was going on.

But this thought only lasted for a moment before he quickly suppressed it.

It's all over now, there's no point in asking any more questions.

The next day, as the sun pierced through the clouds, the entire dragon kingdom was already brightly decorated.

Xuanyuan Ming stood in front of the mirror, letting his attendants tie a dark gold animal skin belt around his waist.

The layers of animal skin clothing constricted him, making it difficult to breathe, like an invisible wound on his chest.

"Young Master."

A servant brought over the jade crown. "The clan chief said..."

"Get out."

Xuan Yuanming suddenly ripped open his collar, his dark golden eyes filled with irritation and savagery.

He didn't know where this irritability and violence came from; he just suddenly had a strong urge to kill.

The servants dared not stay any longer and scrambled away in fright.

Xuanyuan Ming stared at his unfamiliar reflection in the water mirror. Was this young dragon lord, bound by rules, really him?

The palace door was suddenly pushed open, and Feng Xiao staggered in, reeking of alcohol: "You brat, what's with the sour face?"

Xuanyuan Ming didn't even turn his head: "Uncle and uncle have gone to the wrong place."

Because she forgot everything about Su Xiyue, she also forgot the truth that her aunt was angered to death by Feng Xiao, otherwise she would never have been so good-tempered.

"Who said I've gone to the wrong place?"

Feng Xiao snatched the jade crown from his hand and pretended to put it on him: "Your father sent me to see you, so you won't go crazy again."

He suddenly leaned closer, his expression showing a hint of curiosity: "I heard you've forgotten about that girl?"

Xuan Yuanming knew who he was referring to, and said indifferently, "I've forgotten."

He had truly forgotten, but there was always this inexplicable feeling in his chest that he couldn't even understand himself.

"Good riddance. That kind of lower-class female is no match for you."

Feng Xiao patted his shoulder with a smile, then, thinking of his son Feng Su, his face was filled with melancholy: "If only that bastard had forgotten like you."

Xuanyuan Ming knew that his uncle was referring to his cousin Feng Su.

After waking up from a coma at Qingyan Mountain in the lower region, he witnessed Feng Su and a female named Su Xiyue behaving intimately and even speaking up for each other. How could he not understand what their relationship was?
His expression immediately worsened.

She deceived herself while simultaneously having a romantic relationship with her cousin; her methods were quite clever.

"Ah…"

Xuanyuan sneered, his face turning an extremely frighteningly dark black.

Seeing that his expression was off, Feng Xiao was afraid that the brat would go crazy again, so she quickly changed the subject: "Alright, hurry up and get ready to go out. Everyone has been here for a while. The clan leaders, elders, and noble ladies of each clan are all waiting."

Xuanyuan Ming suppressed the nameless anger and rage in his heart, casually put the jade crown on his head, and strode out of the hall.

……

Inside the banquet hall, noblewomen from various ethnic groups eagerly awaited their arrival.

The little princess of the Qilin clan, holding a glass cup, peeked at the empty seat in the main seat: "I heard that the young lord is choosing a principal wife today?"

"nature."

The Bai Ze Clan's holy maiden lowered her voice, "His previous female from the lower realm..."

The murmurs ceased abruptly when Xuan Yuanming stepped into the main hall. His dark gold beast-patterned robe accentuated his tall and imposing figure, and the dragon patterns on it seemed to come alive. His cold and sharp aura instantly silenced the noisy banquet.

The females stole glances at the young dragon lord.

Rumor has it that he went mad for over a decade for a female from a lower realm, but now he seems like a completely different person, so cold and aloof that people dare not approach him.

Ignoring everyone's gaze, Xuan Yuanming walked straight to his seat. As he sat down, he casually glanced at everyone and suddenly felt bored.

No pair of eyes resembles hers.

When the swindler looked at him, his eyes held tears, anger, sadness, and guilt, but no fear. Even though he had only seen him once after waking up, the memory remained vivid.

He gripped the wine glass tightly, and the glass shattered into dust in his palm.

"Ming'er".

Xuan Yuanhao glared at him warningly, then looked at everyone present and said loudly, "Today's banquet is for two reasons: first, to celebrate my son's breakthrough in overcoming his inner demons, and secondly..."

His gaze swept over the noble ladies present. "It's time to select a young lord and principal wife for my dragon clan."

As soon as the words were spoken, the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan elder immediately stepped forward to present a girl in white: "This is our clan's Holy Mother, Bai Li, who is proficient in illusion magic..."

"My Qilin clan's noblewoman, Qingwu, is skilled in commanding all beasts..."

"The Kunpeng Clan is willing to offer the pearl of the sea as dowry..."

Xuanyuan Ming coldly watched as everyone vied to promote their products, finding it utterly absurd.

The way these females looked at him was as if he were a rare treasure, not a living person.

He instinctively touched his chest, where it was empty, yet he suddenly felt incredibly clear-headed.

He suddenly realized that he would rather be deceived by Su Xiyue than tolerate this hypocrisy.

He suddenly stood up, his dark gold beast-patterned robe spilling over a wine cup.

The clamor in the hall abruptly ceased.

"Everyone."

His dark golden eyes swept over the crowd, his voice as cold as ice, "This lord will not choose a concubine today."

Xuan Yuanhao abruptly crushed the armrest, stood up, and shouted, "Ming'er!"

"Father."

As Xuanyuan Ming turned around, the hem of his dragon-patterned robe swept across the jade steps. "I suddenly remembered that there is something important."

His departing figure caused the animal-shaped handkerchief in the hands of the noble Qilin Qingwu to twist into a pretzel.

The noble female Qilin, Qingwu, suddenly stood up and chased after him, calling out, "Young Master, please wait!"

Outside the palace, a sea of ​​clouds surged.

When Xuanyuan Ming turned around, his dark golden vertical pupils reflected Qingwu's bright and generous face: "Young Lord, is it because you can't let go of that female from the lower realm that you are unwilling to choose a consort?"

"This is my private matter, and it has nothing to do with you."

Xuan Yuanming uttered these words indifferently, then ignored the noble female Qilin Qingwu and paid no attention to her suddenly ugly face.

He transformed into a beast and soared into the distant sky. As his dragon claws tore through the void, the furious roar of Xuan Yuanhao could be faintly heard behind him.

But he doesn't care.

……

The Lower Domain Wolf Tribe.

Su Xiyue was lying on a rocking chair in front of the shed, basking in the sun. She had made the rocking chair based on the "Complete Book of Bamboo Furniture".

I must say, lying on it and sunbathing is quite comfortable; it makes you feel lazy and relaxed.

Just as she was enjoying the sun, Qingzhu suddenly ran over to tell her that three beastmen from the Dragon Clan had arrived, saying they wanted to exchange for blue bricks.

She knew instantly who it was.

Apart from the three dragon clan guards who secretly infiltrated the wolf tribe last time and were caught red-handed by Feng Su, no one else will suddenly come to buy blue bricks.

"Where is the man?"

Su Xiyue got up from the rocking chair and asked casually.

"At the east gate of the tribe."

Qingzhu handed over a thin animal hide cloak. "Those three orcs were carrying purple beast crystals and said they wanted to exchange them for five cartloads of blue bricks."

She wrapped her cloak around herself, casually fastening it, then paused upon hearing the question: "Purple?"

Beast crystals are generally white, and the higher the purity, the better the quality.

This is the first time I've ever seen a purple beast crystal; it's a top-grade beast crystal.

At least in the lower realms, there is no such precious thing.

"The size of a pigeon egg."

A look of surprise flashed across Qingzhu's emerald green eyes. "The dragon race is quite generous."

He had certainly heard of purple beast crystals; they were top-grade beast crystals, treasures that beastmen dreamed of.

It's unbelievable that the dragons would trade it so easily; it's nothing short of extravagant.

The two did not continue discussing the purple beast crystal. Since the dragons were willing to offer it for trade, they had nothing to be afraid of.

The two walked towards the east gate.

When we were halfway there.

Suddenly, the system's voice rang in Su Xiyue's mind: "Host, the Dragon Clan is selecting a consort for Xuanyuan Ming!"

She paused for a moment, then thought coldly to herself, "What's it to me?"

"Hehe, are you angry, host?"

The system's voice was cheeky, "Here's another piece of news for the host: Xuan Yuanming suddenly left the banquet, disregarding all the guests and Xuan Yuanhao's fury, and tore through the void to come to the lower realm. He's on his way to the Wolf Tribe right now."

She stopped in her tracks instantly.

"what happened?"

Qingzhu keenly noticed that her expression was unusual.

"It's nothing." She forced a smile. "I suddenly remembered that the new batch of bricks from the kiln is of good quality. If we have enough for five cartloads, it would be perfect to trade with the Dragon Clan."

"It doesn't matter if it's not enough, we can continue to fire bricks, it will only take a few days."

Qingzhu didn't think it was a problem: "But since the Dragon Clan is so sincere, we should naturally choose the best for them."

Although I don't understand business, transactions are based on mutual benefit. If the exchanged items are defective, then naturally there will be no next time.

Su Xiyue smiled faintly, "That's natural."

The two walked towards the east gate while talking.
