Chapter 370 Xi Meili's Pride

Chapter 370 Xi Meili's Pride

'The Church of Light and Justice has existed since the summoned hero defeated the demon lord, is he not afraid of such a powerful organization?!' The entire royal family cried inwardly, seemingly in disbelief at Yuan's bold words.

The Church of Light and Justice was known for its fearsome might and control over many countries and empires; nonetheless, it began as a tiny church dedicated to the goddess of light and justice.

At the time, it was a little cult with little or no global effect. However, things changed as a war broke out between the demons and humans.

The demon race was far too powerful for the human empire to defeat, and the human population was shrinking by the day.

However, at that point, the church assisted the empire in summoning heroes to vanquish the demon ruler and his army.

The religion of Light and Justice gained enormous power over the continent, eventually surpassing the royal line of the Holy Light Empire.

'Does he truly have the strength to take on such a powerful force? But, as pompous as his comments may sound, I believe he has the strength to stand up to the Holy Light Empire.' King Richard considered with a serious expression on his face, convinced that Yuan had a manner of dealing with the Holy Light Empire.

Yuan spotted King Richard in deep meditation and inquired, "King Richard, what are you thinking about so deeply? Is there something bothering you?"

"No, not at all. I was just astonished by your comments about the Holy Light Empire." King Richard awoke from his trance, grinned awkwardly, and remarked, "After all, the Holy Light Empire is the most powerful empire on this continent, especially the Holy Church of Light and Justice."

"Be careful when speaking about them in public, they have too many spies throughout the entire continent..."

"So, why is that? What's wrong with discussing the Holy Light Empire?"

"Well, I'm not too sure but they don't they don't like people to talk about them a lot." King Richard shrugged and responded.

"There are just a bunch of mere mortals, we have nothing to fear about them," Yuan replied calmly, his voice full of confidence.

"It doesn't matter to me. As long as they don't provoke me, I won't mind."

'It appears that I did the right thing by inviting him and his wives to a supper with us; this will secure a good connection with him.' The King thought, laughing inwardly as he realized this.

When she saw him smiling, Queen Matilda smiled from ear to ear, moving her face closer to his ear and whispering, "Didn't I tell you that befriending Yuan and his wives would be the best thing for us?"

"Well, you're correct. Thank you, I was able to prevent a major calamity." King Richard responded, smiling.

A few seconds later, a servant entered the royal garden and informed the king that the cook had finished cooking and they were now placing the dishes on the royal dining table.

After telling King Richard, the servant quickly departed the scene.

"They may have dragon blood in their veins, but they cannot be called dragons!" Xi Meili yelled with a wicked glitter in her eyes, as an intense murderous intent rushed over the palace, making the royal family and everyone inside quiver in horror.

"They're nothing but a bunch of lowly lizards, so don't you dare compare me with them."

With those remarks, Xi Meili retrieved her aura and killing purpose, causing everyone in the palace to sigh with relief.

The royal family eventually recovered from their shock and glanced at Xi Meili with puzzled expressions on their faces, unable to fathom what had just occurred because it was too unexpected for them.

They are taken aback by Xi Meili's strength; they never imagined that this cute young girl would be so powerful that none of them could withstand the pressure she released on them.

A few seconds later, Yuan apologized to King Richard and his family for Xi Meili's disrespectful behavior, explaining that Xi Meili was very proud and would not allow such an insult.

"Although Queen Matilda did nothing wrong by speaking what's on her mind when she said that Xi Meili is from the dragon warrior tribe, it hurt her pride and you know the rest..." Yuan replied with an odd expression on his face as if he could tell them that Xi Meili was a dragon from an ancient lineage.

"No one was hurt, so it's fine." And, anyway, I should have avoided saying such things without Xi Meili's consent." Queen Matilda also apologized to Yuan and his wives.

'What was the pressure? I'm absolutely sure it wasn't magic, but what type of power was that?' Aurelia stared at Yuan and his wives, particularly Xi Meili, with a bewildered expression on her face, wondering inwardly about the enigmatic power Xi Meili wielded.

"Well, since everything has been cleared now, let's eat now, shall we?" King Richard spoke with a smile before beginning to eat.

Yuan and his women nodded, and they soon began eating.

Xi Meili forgot about her wrath and began cramming her face with food; she was like a golden dragon, devouring everything on the dining table.

Yuan and Emma both stuffed their faces with food. The royal chefs made exquisite meals, so they didn't hold back and began emptying the dishes one by one.

The royal family neglected to eat their food as they watched Yuan and his wife demolish one dish after another; they couldn't believe they had such a large appetite.

They eventually finished their lunch with the royal family and relaxed with them after the sumptuous feast.

They discussed numerous topics with the princes and princesses about their adventure, which attracted not only the princes and princesses but even King Richard and his wives.

Yuan jumped up from his seat, looked at his mother, and said, "It's about time we take our leave, isn't that right, Mom?"

"That's correct. It's already dark outside; we should leave now." Anna Grace nodded after peering outside, which was already pretty dark.

After saying their goodbyes to the royal family, Yuan, his wives, and Leah left the Royal Palace and went for the common realm.
