High Priest presented a bowl with water on the table. Long Qiao took a bottle and poured a single drop of blood.

  It glittered like stars and shined the whole bowl.

  Chen Ming looked, So that’s how it is. I say, a bit weaker but still cutting it close.

  Chen Ming waved, “High Priest, if you please.”


  High Priest bowed, “By your leave, Your Highness.”


  Qing Long snapped, “Humph, don’t think of forgetting today’s crime!”


  High Priest cut Chen Ming’s finger with a knife and the blood pooling around the wound was just as shiny and sparkling with starlight.

  High Priest was shocked, You’re telling me he’s real?

  High Priest squeezed a drop from his finger into the bowl. The two drops converged inside and collided.

  At contact, Chen Ming’s blood swallowed Yan Shengxiao’s.

  They were all speechless. His blood reight supreme before he even got to cultivate from the Alldragon Stele!

  The door was blown away and in came the cavalry. Question marks covered Chen Ming’s vision, except his titles. The rider shouted, “We are under orders to kill the traitorous fake Star Dragon!”


  High Priest had his eyes fixed at the blood, still incapable of believing.

  Another rider burst inside to which Qing Long trembled and released his Supreme Gold Immortal power. Step right in, king slayers. My turn has come!

  Qing Long roared, “As long as I’m here no one will lay a hand on His Highness!”


  He leaped in front of Chen Ming, “You’ll have to walk all over my corpse before you can even think of harming His Highness!”


  Qing Long was on cloud nine. All denied Chen Ming’s true identity, however, he alone stood firm to his belief. Now that his blood devoured Yan Shengxiao, all doubts were lifted.

  High Priest was slowly getting his faculties back together and witnessed Daoist Qing Long ready to strike the charging cavalry. He snapped, “Who gave the order?”


  Yan Shengxiao giggled as she walked from among them, “What, I can’t put down a traitor?”


  High Priest was now clear on the situation, “Your Highness, please conduct yourself!”


  Yan Shengxiao was thrown for a loop at this. Something’s not right.

  She plotted to behead him once his blood got devoured and explain it later. When the truth of his identity came out, his corpse would be stiff as a doornail and there was no way to punish her. She’d be the only Star Dragon left alive after all.

  Yan Shengxiao turned to Long Qiao to find his eyes conveying devastation. His legs gave and collapsed.

  Something’s definitely wrong.

  Yan Shengxiao stared at the object of everyone’s curiosity. She walked before it and found a single drop of blood, though not hers.

  My blood is beneath a man who has yet to see the Alldragon Stele!

  Impossible! Are you telling me my blood isn’t pure enough?

  Yan Shengxiao pulled a dagger, cut her finger and dripped blood in the bowl. The blood clashed in an instant and Chen Ming devoured it again.

  Yan Shengxiao’s complexion turned for the worst. She knew everyone here witnessed the proof of Chen Ming’s status. The cavalry was now still, not knowing what the best course of action was.”


  They kneeled before Chen Ming and admitted their wrongs, “We were unaware of His Highness’ presence and committed great crimes. We deserve death!”


  Chen Ming eyed Yan Shengxiao, This woman is ruthless, poisonous like a snake. He now cracked the riddle of her Holy Enchantress Aura.

  Regardless of how holy and pure she is, she remains a temptress!

  He was about to demand an explanation out of her when she got ahead of him, “Prince Long Qiao misled me. He wanted to drive a wedge between us and get his hands on me. I await Star Dragon Crown Prince’s punishment!”


  Yan Shengxiao’s mind was on overdrive to figure out a way to maintain her image. She pushed everything on prince Long Qiao. Plus, this plan was his alone while she only pushed and prodded where needed.

  Yan Shengxiao now looked at Chen Ming, Is he my fate?

  Maybe I won’t become his wife when I’m an Immortal King. But then she spotted the pink peach blossom spice back, wiping that thought.

  What fate, he’s just a cheap philanderer!

  Yan Shengxiao snorted in anger and left with the others.

  High Priest bowed, “Fairy Star Dragon and His Highness must have some difficulties between you, nothing some time together won’t resolve.”


  Chen Ming didn’t much care, to be honest, “The Regent should be free now, no?”


  High Priest feigned ignorance, “I will ask for Regent to come!”


  The Regent’s hall.

  High Priest rushed to meet him and Bey Junwu said, “High Priest, why the sudden urgency?”


  “He is genuine.”


  “Done the test already?”


  “We’ve used the oldest way, the blood test, against Fairy Star Dragon’s. Star Dragon Crown Prince’s proved stronger, surpassing my expectations, even before he got to study the Alldragon Stele!”


  Bey Junwu smiled, “That is only natural. He is a male, and of course his blood is stronger, unlike Moon Palace and Jade Lake, where the women rule.”


  “There’s no time to lose. This is my secret order. All Kings are to gather at Southern Gate Monastery in secret for a meeting. I will now go and pay His Highness a visit!”


  “But Fairy Star Dragon and Star Dragon Crown Prince don’t seem to get along.”


  “Nothing but a trifle. Use the excuse of needing to renovate his house and move him in with Fairy Star Dragon. With time, and with Star Dragons understanding the importance of their connection, they will develop feelings.”


  High Priest wanted to throw his two cents in, It’s Star Dragons we’re talking about here, of immense pride and stubborn character. What use will your plan have? What a joke!

  He didn’t feel like blurting out all the fiend Kings’ love affairs. They all were a bunch who liked to mingle among the commoners while wearing their badge to pick up women. Once the women saw their badge, they knew who they were dealing with. Those fools will then be satisfied, in more ways than one, thinking they got a woman thanks to their wiles.

  It’d be weird if these blockheads have a true solution to things!
