"So, can I call you my younger brother?"
Excitement gleamed in the Dragon Girl's eyes. Calling the boy, who was a head shorter than her, "sir" felt awkward, but the mention of "brother" made her feel thrilled.
"What?"
Feng Bingwen was momentarily unable to keep up with the princess's erratic thoughts.
The main reason is that all the cultivators, deities, and spirits he has encountered over the years have treated him with utmost respect, forcing him to adopt a certain air of superiority.
"You don't want to? If you don't want to, then forget it."
Looking at Feng Bingwen's expression, Xi Qingyu suddenly realized that she had just made a very interesting suggestion, mainly because it was very exciting.
This is a reincarnated sage who can interact with his father, who is dignified and usually doesn't smile, on equal footing. Why are you taking advantage of the fact that he hasn't awakened his memories yet and making him call her "sister"?
"Don't tell my father!"
Realizing she had just done something remarkable, the dragon princess tried to make amends.
Suddenly being summoned by her father to greet guests, she still harbored a lot of resentment, even though she had just been chatting happily with a group of close friends she hadn't seen in a long time.
As a result, he couldn't control his emotions for a moment, and seeing how young Feng Bingwen was, he couldn't help but feel like teasing him.
"Your Highness, do you really treat me like a child?"
Upon hearing the word "complaint," Feng Bingwen couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Although the dragon princess was quite unconventional during their second meeting, which completely shattered the image of the dignified and gentle princess in his mind, he couldn't help but feel a desire to get closer to her.
"You look like a child, don't you? Besides, your memories haven't fully returned!"
Realizing she might not be reprimanded, Xi Qingyu's mind started to wander again.
"How about it? Want to consider it? Regardless of age or experience, if you call me 'sister,' it won't be me bullying you. As long as you do, I, as your sister, will definitely give you a satisfactory gift. I remember you have a magical treasure, right? It seems to be badly damaged. I can secretly go to Father's treasury to find suitable magical iron."
"..."
Listening to the words of the dragon princess in front of him, Feng Bingwen couldn't help but fall silent. Compared to the refined Xuan Ting Dragon King and the dragon prince who was like a gentleman but occasionally as bold as a knight-errant, this dragon princess was too unconventional.
However, it must be said that the other party's offer was very tempting. Just by calling him "sister," he could obtain the precious materials to repair his ancient treasures. This was an opportunity that many people would kill for, and now it was right in front of him.
However, his public image is that of a reincarnated saint. How could he do something so degrading? What kind of behavior is this? If word gets out, wouldn't he become a laughingstock? Would he still be able to make a living in the future?
In the eyes of the Dragon Princess, Feng Bingwen's silence was a sign of hesitation, and hesitation meant that this idea, born from a sudden impulse mixed with resentment, had a chance of coming true.
"If I can't find suitable restoration materials in my father's treasury, I can secretly rummage through my grandfather's secret vault; he has the largest collection."
Xi Qingyu, determined, added more ingredients again. This promise finally pushed Feng Bingwen to his limit, and he couldn't resist asking questions.
"Your Highness, do you know how mischievous you are? Does your grandfather know?"
"This is none of your business. Just tell me, are you going to shout or not?"
Princess Long was completely out of her mind at this point, and no longer cared about Feng Bingwen's questioning.
"I……"
Just as Feng Bingwen was about to answer, his heart skipped a beat, and he turned around abruptly. He immediately saw a group of beautiful figures, each with their own unique charm, and heard melodious calls from them.
"Qingyu, what are you doing here?"
"We've been looking for you for ages! How could you just disappear without a word?"
"That's right, you're leaving without saying a word to us?"
With a look of utter helplessness in his eyes, Feng Bingwen could only watch helplessly as he was surrounded by a group of beautiful women—mainly because he didn't allow it.
"My father has instructed me to entertain distinguished guests!"
Seeing her sisters arrive, the Dragon Princess, who had been flustered once again, regained her composure and pointed to Feng Bingwen standing in front of her.
This single gesture immediately drew the attention of the group of beautiful women, all with dragon horns on their foreheads, to Feng Bingwen. And with that glance, a variety of different meanings were revealed.
Who is this?
"You look unfamiliar. I don't recognize you. Has anyone seen you before?"
"His cultivation level doesn't seem strong, in fact, it could be described as very weak, but his body is filled with pure energy. Is this a true Daoist tradition?"
"How could that be? Even a direct descendant of the Supreme Dao wouldn't be qualified to have Qingyu accompany him."
"What is his identity?"
"This young man is so handsome, I really like him. Could he be Qingyu's fiancé?"
Wow, Qingyu, you're getting engaged?
A group of dragon girls chattered incessantly, their words becoming increasingly outrageous, causing veins to bulge on Xi Qingyu's forehead as she finally couldn't hold back any longer.
"That's enough, what nonsense are you spouting!"
With a single sentence that silenced the gossipy women, Xi Qingyu pointed to the helpless-looking Feng Bingwen and introduced his identity.
“He is a reincarnated sage who has done great favors for my father.”
After this introduction, the dozen or so dragon maidens fell silent for a moment. When they looked at Feng Bingwen again, their gazes were completely different, as if they were looking at something rare. Some of them even became somewhat fiery in their eyes, making Feng Bingwen shrink back, sensing that something was amiss.
"A reincarnated sage?"
"Human sages? From which family?"
Confucianism? Mohism?
"You know all this?"
"Of course, I've done my research."
The dragon maidens were chattering away, but when one of them took the initiative to ask Feng Bingwen a question, everything began to change.
"This humble woman greets you. May I ask which sage you are, sir? I have admired the ancient sages of the human race since childhood, and I never expected to have the honor of meeting you today."
That cloying tone, and that deliberate manner of speaking, made the expressions of all the dragon maidens turn strange, and Feng Bingwen felt a chill run down his spine.
“An Yuechu, their memories haven’t returned yet, so asking them won’t help.”
Xi Qingyu also noticed that some of her sisters were looking at Feng Bingwen in a rather strange way. She took a few steps forward, stood in front of Feng Bingwen, and used her body, which was a head taller than Feng Bingwen, to block the gazes of those sisters.
"Qingyu, what are you doing?"
Several dragon maidens were quite dissatisfied with Feng Bingwen's appearance.
What do you want to do?
The Dragon Princess also realized that things seemed to be turning bad.
“What can we do? You said it yourself, this little brother is a reincarnated sage, a great figure who can only be seen in ancient books. Now that we have the opportunity, we should naturally learn from him. Maybe we can also transform into a dragon.”
The dragon girl, whose alluring figure couldn't be concealed even by a red dress, smiled and said, her gaze seemingly able to penetrate Xi Qingyu and see the reincarnated sage behind her.
“That’s right, Qingyu, we’re like sisters who can talk about anything. You’re entertaining guests, so how can we, as your sisters, leave you out? Of course, we have to help!”
Another white-clad dragon maiden quickly chimed in. She stood alone like a white lotus, pure and beautiful, but her dragon eyes revealed an undisguised fiery passion.
"Pah, do you think I'm stupid?"
At this moment, Princess Long could clearly see that she only wanted to gain some verbal advantage over Feng Bingwen, but there were some guys in front of her who seemed to want to take advantage of him directly.
Do you really think I can't see through your intentions?
"Good sister, now that you've figured it out, get out of the way and don't ruin our good time."
The alluring dragon girl in red laughed.
"You're dreaming! This is the Xuan Ting Dragon Palace. Don't be so presumptuous!"
Xi Qingyu took another step back and took Feng Bingwen's hand. She could understand her sisters' thoughts; after a little thought, she understood.
Transform into a dragon!
Who doesn't yearn for it?
However, many dragons do not even qualify to transform into dragons, and a considerable number of them do not have the "opportunity".
Now, a sage who seems to have just been reincarnated, whose strength is at a low point and who has not even regained his memories, is seen by many dragon girls as an opportunity to transform into a dragon and attain enlightenment.
"Qingyu, aren't you being too domineering? This sage may be a guest of your Dragon Palace, but he is not your property. Can't we even say a word to him?"
What do you want to say?
Xi Qingyu's expression turned cold. She suddenly realized what kind of person was standing behind her.
She is the direct descendant of two true dragons and has enough confidence to transform into a true dragon through her own efforts, so she doesn't care and even has the idea of playing around with them.
However, an ordinary dragon girl, even one with the blood of a true dragon, could not possibly have such a mindset as her.
"My sage, you wouldn't let a dragon girl manipulate you, would you?"
One of the dragon maidens bypassed Xi Qingyu and shouted directly at Feng Bingwen.
"Your Highnesses, why make things difficult for me?"
Feng Bingwen sighed and had no choice but to step forward. There was nothing he could do; some of the dragon girls' gazes were too terrifying, as if they wanted to devour him alive.
“My sage, I only wish to ask you some questions.”
"I have only just begun my cultivation journey."
Feng Bingwen shook his head. The same water nurtures all kinds of dragons, and not all dragons are willing to take the path of ascetic cultivation.
"You are a sage."
"Ask me if I know."
“The sage will surely know.”
"This humble woman wishes to learn about the principles of Yin and Yang and creation from the sage! If you do not mind, this humble woman would also like to have an in-depth discussion and exchange with the sage."
"Hehe, the way of Yin and Yang is the great way of heaven and earth, and I also want to participate in it."
"My dear sister, you can't leave me out of such a good thing."
