: ENCOUNTER IN THE DRAGON PALACE

• • •
Yun Zhao withdrew his gaze from the fish swimming outside the window and sighed as he sat in the rocking chair. Ao Jing probably remembered the chair from when he brought Yun Zhao here and had someone send a more exquisite and comfortable one to the room.

The palace where Yun Zhao resided was a hundred times more luxurious than the one he had seen among the Wolf Clan. Maidens dressed in light blue dresses stood silently throughout the palace, ready to fulfill the commands of those in higher positions.

Unaccustomed to being attended by so many people, Yun Zhao moved the chair to the window side and sat down, as if seeking a moment of respite by the window.

When Ao Jing entered with a small fish, he saw the young man lying on the rocking chair with a troubled expression. He furrowed his brows slightly and glanced at the maiden next to him.

The maiden immediately stepped back and soon returned with a delicate porcelain plate filled with various elegantly arranged dishes.

"Sir," the maiden kneeled and bowed, lowering her head, "please have your meal."

Yun Zhao nodded apologetically, whispered a thank you, and sat up. As he looked at the table, he raised his hand but then hesitated.

The dishes on the table were exquisite, but most of them consisted of various types of raw fish and scallops. Thin slices of fish, delicate as cicada wings, were spread like blooming chrysanthemums on one plate, while another plate contained prawns and shellfish arranged in pairs.

Yun Zhao enjoyed seafood and was open to eating raw food, but faced with a table full of raw seafood, he was momentarily at a loss.

"You don't like it," Ao Jing placed his hands in his sleeves and stood aside, speaking in a calm tone after glancing at the young man's expression.

He turned to instruct the maiden, "Take it away and prepare something else."

Yun Zhao quickly stopped him, "It's fine, really. I can eat raw food too."

Ao Jing stepped aside to make it easier for the maidens to clean up, but with a stern face, he disagreed, "It was my oversight. There's no reason to force yourself."

Yun Zhao couldn't help but laugh at the earnest expression of the young boy. He was about to say that he could handle it himself when another maiden entered and whispered softly, "Your Highness, the Dragon Patriarch wishes to see Lord Yun Zhao."

The Dragon Patriarch?

Yun Zhao asked in his sea of consciousness, "Who is this? Ao Yu's father?"

The electronic voice of the system sounded somewhat smug, [That's right! Are you nervous? It's like a daughter-in-law meeting her in-laws!]

Yun Zhao: "... How bothersome."

Ao Jing was taken aback, dismissed the maidens, and then turned to see Yun Zhao looking somewhat dazed. He thought Yun Zhao was nervous.

The young boy lowered his gaze, his long and dense eyelashes trembling slightly. He walked over and imitated Yun Zhao, tiptoeing to touch the young man's head, speaking with his usual calmness, "Don't worry, the Dragon Patriarch won't harm you."

Yun Zhao smiled and found the child quite adorable. He pinched the boy's face and stood up, saying, "I'm not nervous. You shouldn't worry either."

"I'm not worried," Ao Jing withdrew his hand and turned his head, pouting. "Come on, let's go. Don't keep the Dragon Patriarch waiting."

"Okay."

Yun Zhao walked out of the palace gate with the maidens, and Ao Jing followed along. As they stepped outside the palace, Yun Zhao couldn't help but marvel at the fact that what he glimpsed from the window was just a corner of the Dragon Palace.
