Chapter 915: Chapter 903: Listen to me first, don’t take action! Chapter 915: Chapter 903: Listen to me first, don’t take action! “It’s just like a story crafted by a minstrel, to think it would happen to you—how amusing!”

Standing atop the vast Cloud Sea, on the summit of the mountains, Muria, having listened to Aeolus’s account, sighed softly.

“Alright, you don’t need to worry about what comes next, I’ll handle it! You just continue with your unfinished journey!”

After saying this, Muria turned back and smiled at his son, and then, under the confused gaze of Aeolus, who had finished pouring out his “tragic” experience, a temporary Teleportation Array formed beneath his feet.

Subsequently, the force of Space, not allowing any resistance from Aeolus, enveloped him and directly dragged him away through teleportation.

“Think you can come home without breaking through to legend?” Muria hummed after Aeolus had disappeared without a trace, knowing that he was now prepared to abdicate and was just waiting for his son to take over the burden on his shoulders.

…

“Muria, someone has come to the Titan Islands looking for you; come here for a moment!” Just having returned to Xena Pus, Muria suddenly received a message from the Titan Clan Lands, and he was immediately filled with curiosity, yet a premonition surfaced as well, so he headed into the Clan Land.

“Where is the person who’s looking for me? Where?” After returning to his ancient courtyard in the Titan Clan Lands, Muria asked Cassio.

“He’s in the Arena.”

“What’s going on? Didn’t he specifically ask for me by name when he arrived? How did he end up in the Arena?” Muria frowned slightly, asking with some confusion.

“He said he wanted to reason with us Titans, so…” Cassio smiled and did not continue.

“So, is he dead now?” Muria rubbed his temples, asking with some trouble.

“Since he’s here looking for you, the Titan who fought him naturally wouldn’t harm his life!”

“Alright, which Arena is he in? Take me there to have a look!” Muria sighed and set off; the forbidden status of the Titan Islands for all creatures was not without reason.

If an ordinary human stumbled upon the Titan Islands, should they manage to evade the sea beasts and the marine life guarding the waters around the Titan Islands, then they might have a chance to leave alive.

However, if someone arrived at the Titan Islands on their own strength, they shouldn’t dream of leaving unscathed without a fight with a Titan!

When Muria arrived at a spacious Arena, he immediately saw a blue-scaled Giant Dragon in fierce battle with a Titan.

At first glance, it seemed that they were evenly matched, but Muria could tell in an instant that from start to finish, it was the Giant Dragon taking the hits, and its seemingly unscathed body was probably only sustained by expending its own life force.

Pfft!

Muria stood by and had not watched for long when an extremely brutal and bloody scene unfolded before him—the head of the Giant Dragon was forcefully torn off by the Titan it was fighting.

Even after tearing off its opponent’s head, the Titan showed no sign of relenting; instead, he stepped forward and planted a foot on the dragon’s chest, shattering bones and splattering blood. Almost half of the Giant Dragon’s chest cavity was destroyed in an instant.

“Enough, stop fighting. Although his bloodline is commendable, he’s been in high office for too long and isn’t adept at battle!”

Seeing this, Muria quickly intervened to stop the fight, seeing no need to beat him like that; after all, he was once an emperor and deserved some face!

“Titans truly live up to their name!” When, on Muria’s persuasion, the Titan finally stepped back, the blue dragon took a deep breath of relief. Then, his battered and torn body started to heal rapidly as if time were flowing backward, and concurrently, his size began to shrink rapidly as he could no longer maintain his form.

He merely had a fraction of Abomination Dragon bloodline, being able to maintain a Dragon Form for a while was quite remarkable. Of course, this form’s strength was hardly a tenth of that of a true high-level Abomination Dragon.

“Who are you and what do you want with me?” Muria examined the man who had been devastated by the Titans, his gaze tinged with nuance. Truthfully, other than a Sword Saint who challenged the Titan Islands during his youth, he hadn’t heard of or seen anyone else foolish enough to come looking for trouble on the Titan Islands.

“I am Felicia’s father!” replied the former emperor pallidly, severely depleted of vitality, and barely mustering the strength.

He had been utterly wrecked by the Titans. He had clearly stated he came to reason with Muria, but the first Titan he encountered immediately took him to the Arena, insisting on “reasoning” with him there first.

“Hmm, do you have any business with me?” Muria sensed the father’s energy and nearly laughed; it was fortunate that he carried the Abomination Dragon’s bloodline, otherwise… well, he might have taken fewer beatings.

“I want to discuss my daughter’s matter with you!”

“I’ve come to understand the general course of events. As far as I know, it was your daughter who struck first, my son was merely on the receiving end!”

Muria said with a calm expression. At least among the Titan Tribe, Blazing Sky God Race, and Dragon Race, the status of males and females is equal. No side is inferior, nor is there a hierarchy of status.

Moreover, within the Dragon Race, many dragon species grant more authority to female dragons than to male dragons. A typical example is the Green Dragon from the Five Colored Dragons, where the traditional Green Dragon Tribe is matriarchal.

“But…”

…

“Mija, there’s something I need to discuss with you!” After speaking with the former emperor of the Orlando Empire, Muria, who had returned from the Titan Clan Lands, sought out Michaela.

“What is it?” As Michaela’s power grew stronger and it became harder to find a worthy opponent in the world, she began to emulate her sister-in-law in cultivating her temperament and started gardening.

“It’s about Aeolus’s spouse problem! During his travels around the world, due to an accident, he became involved with a princess from the Orlando Empire, resulting in a dispute.”

“Hold on, wait a minute. Don’t rush into telling me the rest, explain to me clearly first—how did Aeolus become involved with that princess from the empire?”

“Alright! I’ll explain it in detail to you!” Muria also came over to Michaela’s side, picking up a pair of shears engraved with complex runes, and began to trim the plants in the garden.

“Do you mean to say that the princess, who is even older than you, having failed to ensnare you in her plans, now forcibly pursued our son?” Michaela asked after listening to Muria’s brief account, “Can I interpret her actions as a form of revenge?”

“You’re overthinking it. That person is nothing but a spoiled princess! She might entertain thoughts of avenging herself against me, but she’s not so depraved as to relegate her own interests. She hasn’t sunk to that level!”

Muria shook her head, correcting Michaela’s understanding of the matter, “The reason she became involved with Aeolus is that the process was rather convoluted.

It’s like the stories from minstrels or those heroic tales described in plays. Her power went out of control, and then after a series of coincidences, she found herself in an intimate relationship with Aeolus out of necessity!”

“So you mean, she didn’t force herself on Aeolus out of her own volition, but it happened due to an accident, right?” Michaela asked back.

“Yes!”

“Then why are you making excuses and defending her?” Michaela inquired.

“Her father came to me! In this matter, indeed, it was his daughter who ended up at a disadvantage and Aeolus who benefitted. Therefore, he wants to secure a proper status for his daughter!”

“Status? A human carrying a diluted abomination dragon bloodline wants status?” Michaela questioned.

“He wants Aeolus to marry his daughter with his true identity!”

“And then what, allow his daughter to become the empress of the empire?” Michaela’s expression gradually became less favorable. As a mother, she naturally disliked such matters. The thought of a woman older than both herself and Muria becoming her daughter-in-law was somewhat repulsive.

“He did make such a request, but I’ve already refused.” Seeing Michaela’s expression becoming nuanced, Muria quickly added, “With my current status, I have no need to sell out my children’s marriages for benefits!”

“Just reject them, and that should be enough. We don’t have to agree to their terms, especially since it wasn’t Aeolus’s initiative!”

“Although that’s what I think, there seems to have been a very subtle change in the situation which may require us to grant her a proper status after all.”

“What? What happened?”

“The princess… she’s pregnant.”

“…” Michaela looked at Muria, gauging his expression, “Are you joking with me? How can she be pregnant in such a short time? Have you forgotten how long it took us to have Aeolus?”

“I know that, but Aeolus hasn’t broken through to legend, and although the princess has, most of her bloodline is still human. Besides, her situation is somewhat special, so the chance of conception was still possible, and ultimately, it’s a matter of probability! It’s unlikely, but it’s not impossible.”

“So what do you plan to do about it?”

“Here’s what I’m thinking, Mija, calm down for a moment, don’t be in a rush to come at me, let me finish speaking first!”

“Speak!”
