The Chaos Dragon Prince

Chapter 158 - Troubling Fame

"Did you hear about the new rumor flowing around? Honestly, this one seems a little bit truer than the rest. There's like this unanimous agreement that Sir Cain is the graceful one while his sister is the wild demon."

"I mean, even those World Spirit Masters are saying that Miss Kali has this godly Icy temperament. While Sir Cain is the utmost noble. Surely the rumor about them being orphaned or fallen royal children have some truth in it. If not this, I don't know what the hell else can explain their feats."

"Tsk, you should hear what Crimson Sea has to say about them. Sir Cain is practically a young god over there, while Miss Kali is treated as an Icy woman who'll crush anyone without a second thought! Really, I just want to see one appearance from them. They're so mysterious…."

Royal children? Young gods? Cain was partially amused. 

In a way, none of them were wrong at all. 

On pure status alone, his Dragon God heritage made this entire Planet absolutely obsolete. Hell, this Planet is simply recorded down as just another Lower Realm Planet in the Huang's Royal library. 

But while amusing as this was, Cain also felt partially strange about the rumors concerning Kali.

It's truly like it was unanimously decided that Kali is the supposedly more brutal and eviler sibling. 

If someone were to speak ill of him, Cain would only feel a slight annoyance. He'll want to squash that annoyance but wouldn't feel anything particular beyond that. 

But with how people see Kali in a more fearful light, that truly caused a stuffy sensation to tighten his chest.

Out of all people, he doesn't want Kali to be seen so negatively. Especially when she has a genuine, cute side to her. 

At this point, Cain could assuredly say he loves Kali with all his heart. And naturally, as the closest sibling to her, Cain wanted Kali to have an equal positive reputation as him. 

All these thoughts indeed sounded nice. But Cain clearly knows the striking problem with this.

That is Kali's virtually unchangeable attitude. If one thing is for certain, that girl has God Galaxy cultivator pride through and through. 

No matter how slowly close she's getting to Amber, Kali still treated her with the same chilling indifference.

Thankfully, Amber has a greatly chill personality, so she can ward off Kali's aggression quite easily. Cain would be genuinely befuddled if there was a strain in their relationship.

Before Cain could try and divulge his thoughts in seeking a quick solution, Amber suddenly tugged on his sleeves. 

As she gained Cain's attention, the tease in her voice was evident as she said, "Well, well, crazy guy. Your fame is ever-expanding, huh? Before long, you'll be the absolute king of this City. Fufu~. Being by your side for that sounds quite nice."

It would've simply been unthinkable for her to ever care about the masses' opinions of some famous person. Any type of renowned person would typically be a cultivator, and Amber's intrigue instantly vanishes because of it.

But since it's Cain, Amber was highly relishing it. She enjoyed it so much that it almost felt like she was the one praised by all others.

Such joy could only stem from their increasingly stronger link bridging from their Martial Hearts. Anything that Cain achieves, Amber will take immense pride in it. 

And anything Amber achieves, Cain would be overly joyous. 

Though, comparatively, Cain knows he'll be on the receiving end of Amber's pride. He figures only when the situation absolutely calls for it Amber will shine to others. Otherwise, she won't care at all about gaining any type of famous achievement.

In any case, Cain suppressed his previous thoughts about Kali, focusing back on the task at hand. 

"It's all just simple buzz. As long I don't experience any trouble with this fame, I don't really care."

"Mn, if it was just Martial Talent, I would say this would be a challenging thing. Envy is so ugly but also so hard to suppress. It especially runs wild because of these people's obsession with strength. But since you're a World Spirit Master, the most you'll have to worry about is a busy schedule."

As Amber spoke, another thought suddenly streaked Cain's mind. He was briefly reminded of their previous meeting, so he asked, "By the way, what did you think about those two top geniuses? I sensed your emotions change a little bit for just a slight moment."

"Oh this…." Amber's tone gradually turned solemn. "It's just that those top-ranking geniuses never sit well with me. Yang Lin, Lilia and Qiao Fen….I never liked any of them. More so than my usual lack of care for others. There's just something….off about them. Plus, they tried that same spiel with me during the last Crimson Martial Meeting."

"So they tried inviting you, yet they ignored you during that whole meeting? Also, just what specifically is that Crimson Martial meeting?" Cain pursued his questioning.

He certainly wasn't worried about any top-ranking genius. But if it's anything concerning Amber, he would want to put a stop to it immediately. 

Sensing the slight worry emitting from Cain, Amber soothingly rubbed his arm, speaking in a calming tone.

"Your halo is simply too dazzling, so of course they ignored me. And you don't have to worry about them trying anything with me. They're far too afraid of you. Also, this Crimson Martial meeting is really just preparation for the Azure Qualifying competition happening pretty soon. Basically, it's just a huge event to gather the top talent of the entire City to then go on and compete in the Elite Martial Province Martial Meeting."

"Oh? So there's a tournament the entire Province participates in? That's a bit interesting. How soon is this happening?" 

Cain didn't feel a necessary desire to participate.  But like with the Crimson Martial Meeting, it'll be something to entertain himself for a little bit. 

"If I remember right….probably wrong, but it supposed to be starting at most two months from now. During this time of the year, all these kids get even more obsessed with cultivation. Cause apparently, the winner always receives some Heavenly-rank resources that'll aid their stuff. And for this year, I've heard about a rumor that might even tempt you. Wanna hear it?"

Amber's teasingly provocation did ignite a little bit more interest within Cain. He couldn't help but ask, "I don't see why not. Is it something related to the top-rank Provinces?"

"Oh, this goes beyond even those guys. Supposedly, the winner of this tournament has a chance to gain recognition from a Divine Envoy from the Central Divine Region. Apparently, those guys are scouting out for more talents, and these Provinces tournament are a good way to seek them."

Cain's brows curiously curled. "Scouting for Talent? Surely those Divine Kingdom and Empires have all the talent they need. Just what could they possibly need more for? Unless there like something major happening soon."

"No idea on this front. Those Divine Regions all try to follow some baseline, but they all operate in weird ways. But hey, if you ever feel like it, maybe you can visit one of these Provinces tournaments to stretch out your bones."

Amber was genuinely intrigued. Cain putting on a grand show in front of the entire nine Provinces sounded like one of the most spectacular events in the world. 

Naturally, she had to be there to witness it first hand.

And Cain didn't even need to question if there were multiple Provinces tournaments across the nine regions. He simply picked it up from reading in between her lines.

Perhaps if he still has some time before the three-month limit is over, Cain believed he'll consider participating in one of them. But that was all for the future. 

"This all sounds intriguing, but let's not focus on that now. It is your parent time, after all."

"Mn~."

With a small hum of agreement from Amber, the young couple silently enjoyed the rest of their walk. 

…. 

After several minutes of walking, Cain and Amber had entered deep into the High-Class level district.

Upon arriving here, the duo did get some looks thrown their way. But when sensing basically little Aura from them, these High-Class citizens promptly ignored them.

Neither Cain nor Amber paid this any attention. 

And under Amber's guidance, the duo swiftly arrived near a massive, luxuriously designed estate. 

"Hoh? Is that your home? It's basically what I expected."

Cain remarked as his gaze swept through the entirety of the wealthy Vamprici Estate. The most striking design of the area was its structure was coated entirely in a rich blood-red coat.

Glows of Energy seemingly sparkled out of every part of the structure, creating a grand presence that was utterly majestic. 

This is the absolute pride of a Royal High-Class Family estate. Grandiose places no Mortals can ever hope to get even close to. 

Only because it was Amber's lineage did Cain pay particular attention to the estate design. 

"I'm glad you like it. I never felt nervous about opinions on my home but now….huu~. I'm delighted you like it. Come on, let's get in."

As Amber spoke, she quickly pulled Cain along to the estate's front gain. Bundles of nerves continuously flowed through her. But Amber firmly suppressed any pesky doubts. 

If it's Cain, then everything will go smoothly. 

This phrase was like a mantra continually repeating in her heart ever since they started this trip. 

But before the duo got close, Cain suddenly took his and Amber's hoodie off and unsealed their Chaotic Concealment.

He didn't really want to deal with noise, but they had no other options now. 

And as he revealed themselves to the public, the expected reaction occurred. 

"Ah….it's Miss Hiyashi an-and….is-is that?!?" 

"No way! All the way out here! It's World Spirit Master Cain?!"

"Has our district finally been blessed?!" 

Dozens of widening eyes filled with awe locked onto Cain and Kali like lightning. Everyone quite literally dropped what they were doing just to stare.

This kind of presence….this was the might of a World Spirit Master and heaven-defying Martial Talent! His personal prowess doesn't matter at all.  The connection he has now and what he can achieve is already set in stone.

In a sense, this was partially an authentic young long trailing the streets! Even for High-Class level citizens, how could they not become excited? 

When sensing all eyes gathered on him specifically, Cain was just thankful not many were around this area. 

Because they're deep into the High-Class district, the only ones here are people either on business or simply living around the area. 

"Ah, come on, hurry." Even Amber had slight urgency in her voice now.

Their speed increased before anyone even thought of coming up to them. 

Approaching close to the estate, naturally, the two guards in front of the gates also instantly noticed them.

Both Vampire guards were dressed in luxuriously blood-red robes and emitted a mighty Aura. These two alone were just as powerful as any other high-level Elder within Crimson Sea Academy.

And all of these guards' pride and nobility didn't exist at this time. 

Peering into Amber and specifically Cain's figure, the guards instantly stood at attention. 

This youth is absolutely someone they can't treat lightly! Faintly in their hearts, they subconsciously put Cain at a slightly higher level than Amber. 

Then, within moments, Cain and Amber were in front of the Noble Hiyashi's estate.  And as they appeared before the front gates, they stopped before the two Vampire guards. 

"Ah! Miss Hiyashi! And World Spirit Master Cain! Today really is a blessing." 

One of the Vampire guards immediately greeted, his tone filled with nothing but pure respect.
