Xu Fan quickly turned his gaze to Sophia, who had already retreated. Seeing the obvious fatigue on Sophia's face, Xu Fan hurriedly went to greet her.
Are you tired?
Sofia's face was a little pale, but her smile was undisguised, making her look like a blooming flower.
"Not tired."
Then Sofia looked at Xu Fan with a smug expression, like a little girl showing off in front of her older brother:
“Brother, look, Shelby has already inherited the Dragon Emperor Flame.”
Xu Fan smiled and gave Sophia a thumbs up: "Great job!"
Shelby, whose body was wreathed in purple flames, sat cross-legged on the ground, as if he were conditioning his body.
Before long, Shelby slowly sat up from the ground, and the purple flames on his body gradually disappeared as he moved.
Shelby took two steps forward, stood in front of Sophia, and bowed deeply to her.
"Princess, I'll go and cause trouble for those ancient dragons first."
After speaking, Shelby slowly walked out of the hall.
"Brother, do you think he can win?"
Xu Fan said with a smile, "Don't worry, he will definitely win."
Shelby now gave Xu Fan a very dangerous feeling, like a wild beast that was about to devour someone at any moment.
This feeling was something that Parker, White, and others had always given Xu Fan.
Xu Fan took Sophia's hand and slowly walked outside.
However, they were much slower than Shelby, who was eager for revenge.
Xu Fan suddenly spoke, asking with a hint of seriousness in his tone:
"Sophia, have you ever thought about what will happen to the dragons after this battle is over?"
The two had already arrived at the door and were talking as they stepped over the threshold.
A scorching heat emanated from outside, clearly indicating that Shelby, having left Sofia's palace, had begun his killing spree.
Xu Fan asked with a smile, "For example, what will you lead the dragon race to do in the future?"
Judging from all of Shelby's actions, in his mind, the status of royalty and princesses was above his own.
At least for now, Shelby would definitely think that way.
This means that once Shelby gets rid of Parker and the others, he will inevitably have to hand over the power back to Sophia.
Sofia kept her head down and walked forward on her own, as if she hadn't yet figured out how to answer the question.
The two had arrived outside the Sofia Palace. In the garden, there were specks of purple flames burning, likely traces left by Shelby to eliminate the William family.
A tremendous roar could be heard from afar, indicating that Shelby had found White and begun fighting him.
When they entered the dragon's palace, the sky was still clear, but when they came out, it was drizzling.
It was as if they were mourning the fallen dragons.
Sophia said slowly, "But Shelby has now inherited the Dragon Emperor Flame, he is the emperor of the dragon race."
Xu Fan was clearly dissatisfied with the answer and kept his head down without saying a word.
Sofia was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke:
"Why don't you take me away with you, brother?"
“That way, I won’t be in a difficult position, and neither will Shelby.”
As she spoke, a faint sadness returned to Sofia's face.
"My father is dead, I don't want to stay here."
Xu Fan closed his eyes and tilted his head back slightly, letting the rain fall on his face. He opened his mouth with difficulty and slowly said;
"I'm sorry, Sophia, I can't take you away."
Sofia lowered her head, her voice revealing neither joy nor sorrow:
"Brother, it's alright. Even in the Dragon Clan, in the Holy City, I will live well."
Xu Fan gave a bitter smile: "But from the moment you approached me, wasn't your goal to get me to take you away?"
Sofia's face was blank, a hint of pain flashed in her eyes, and then turned into an unfathomable depth.
Sofia released Xu Fan's hand, clapped vigorously, and wore an elegant smile.
“A very good human. If I had known you would be so difficult to deal with, I might have prepared more thoroughly.”
Xu Fan said softly, "Isn't this thorough enough?"
"To make me believe you, you can even bring back to life those corpses that aren't completely dead."
"To make me believe you, you even sacrificed this generation's Dragon Emperor. What a brilliant scheme."
Sofia sighed softly, "But you still found out, didn't you?"
"I just want to know, when did you realize I had a problem?"
Xu Fan shook his head: "From the first time I met you, when you accurately called out Pete's name, I felt that something was off about Sophia back then."
"The second time, when I even had the idea of beating Parker, you suddenly interrupted me."
"Later, after the Dragon Emperor died, you had to return to the palace and let Shelby inherit the Dragon Emperor's Flame."
"At that time, I was thinking, if the Dragon Emperor were willing to place the Dragon Emperor Flame in your palace, how much he must dote on you."
"But at that time, I couldn't see a trace of sadness in you."
"And then there were even more flaws later on."
“You said you have no way to inherit the Dragon Emperor Flame, but Shelby is also unsuitable.”
"When he couldn't continue, you had to step in and help him so as not to ruin your plan to leave with me."
"And those murals, all the previous murals were destroyed a long time ago, but only the last one, or rather, some of the words on the last mural, were destroyed recently, right?"
"Who else but you could deliberately destroy certain words in this place?"
Xu Fan slowly opened his eyes, his gaze devoid of any emotion, filled only with cold indifference.
He slowly gripped the demon-slaying sword in his hand: "So should I call you the First Dragon Emperor, or Dragon Emperor Sophia?"
The person opposite didn't say anything; they just stood there.
Xu Fan slowly closed his eyes, and a powerful aura slowly emerged from his body.
Three giant-like figures appeared out of thin air behind Xu Fan. With their menacing movements, a fierce aura suddenly erupted from Xu Fan's body.
As they moved, raindrops fell on their faces, then passed through their shadows and slowly landed on the ground, like tears scattered on the ground.
As the rain fell to the ground, Xu Fan no longer hesitated and suddenly swung his demon-slaying sword, slashing fiercely at Sophia.
