Chapter 626 - Something Must Have Happened To Him!

After returning to the Lower Heavens, Yuan immediately began making his way back to the Heavenly Melody Academy.

When he got close enough, Feng Yuxiang's voice suddenly resounded in his head.

"Young Master! Are you okay?!"

"Feng Feng?" Yuan was delighted to hear her voice after so long.

"Where are you right now?" Feng Yuxiang then asked.

"I am currently heading to the Heavenly Melody Academy."

"Is that so'¦ Then we will wait for you here."

"You're at the Heavenly Melody Academy right now? Why?" Yuan asked.

"We sensed your presence here, but it disappeared before we could arrive."

"Ah'¦ I will explain everything to you later once I return."

"Okay. See you later, Young Master."

Feng Yuxiang then explained to Xiao Hua and the others that Yuan was heading back to the Heavenly Melody Academy.

"Is everything okay with Yuan?" Song Ling'er asked.

"Yes, he sounded fine." Feng Yuxiang nodded.

"Thank the heavens'¦ If anything had happened to him'¦" Song Ling'er released a long sigh of relief after learning that Yuan was not harmed.

Eventually, Yuan managed to return to the Heavenly Melody Academy without any problems.

"Young Master!"

"Brother Yuan!"

"My Lord!"

Xiao Hua and the others immediately rushed to his side, feeling like an eternity since they last met.

"Hello, everyone. It's been a while." Yuan said to them with a gentle smile on his face.

"Yuan, I'm glad that you're fine, but where did you go for the past few days?" Song Ling'er asked him a moment later.

"It's a long story, so let's go back to my living quarter first," Yuan said to them.

As they began making their way to Yuan's temporary living quarters in the sect, Feng Yuxiang would stare at Yuan with a pondering gaze.

"Young Master, did something happen recently?" She decided to ask him.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"I feel like you had changed a lot since our last meeting."

Yuan couldn't help but smile after hearing her words that Song Ling'er also asked.

"Yes, something did happen. How can you tell?"

"A woman's'”"

"Intuition?" Yuan couldn't help but interrupt her.

Feng Yuxiang nodded with a dazed look on her face.

"If you need any help'¦" Feng Yuxiang then mumbled.

"It was an unfortunate event, but don't worry, I have already taken care of it," he said.

"If you say so'¦"

Once they arrived at his living quarters and were seated, Yuan began recalling his experience in the Fifth Heaven.

"So I was teleported to a place called Fairy Paradise in the Fifth Heaven'¦"

"Fifth Heaven?!" Song Ling'er exclaimed in a shocked voice before he could even finish his sentence.

"Yes, and I was imprisoned there for a few days because only females are allowed in the Fairy Paradise. In order to leave, I had to speak with the Fairy Empress and even had the help of the Royal Dragon Family there... "

"Sounds like you had it rough, Young Master." Feng Yuxiang said.

"Brother Yuan, how did you get back? The teleport formation that transported you was a one-way teleport." Xiao Hua asked him.

"I used a treasure called the Dragon Marble. It was given to me by Elder Xuan at the Dragon Essence Temple. It was supposed to be a life-saving treasure, but I ended up using it to get back here."

"A life-saving treasure that can teleport you from the Fifth Heaven to the Lower Heavens'¦ It must have been an incredibly powerful treasure'¦" Feng Yuxiang mumbled.

"To be honest with you, I didn't think it'd work. My sudden disappearance will definitely cause some trouble for the Royal Dragon Family since I was staying there as a guest. I only hope that nothing too dramatic happens'¦" Yuan sighed, as he could only imagine what will happen to the royal family once they realize that he was gone.

"I doubt anything will happen. After all, they're the royal family. Why would they freak out over your disappearance?" Feng Yuxiang said, unaware that Yuan had temporarily taken the identity of a Dragon Emperor while he was there, which will definitely cause some mayhem.

Meanwhile, at the Royal Dragon Family, a few hours after Yuan disappeared, the Dragon King returned to his room.

"I have asked around about 'Zither Goddess' just like you requested and received some information! Are you available now?" The Dragon King knocked on Yuan's room.

When nobody responded, the Dragon King knocked on the door again.

After waiting for a few more moments, the Dragon King turned to look at the guards and asked them, "Did he leave while I was away?"

"No, the Dragon Emperor hasn't left his room."

"Then why isn't he responding?" The Dragon King mumbled to himself.

"Yuan! Are you okay?!" The Dragon King knocked on the door again, feeling a little anxious for some reason.

Eventually, the Dragon King decided to enter the room.

"Excuse me!"

However, to the Dragon King's surprise, the room was empty.

"Are you sure he didn't leave the room? What if he left but you missed it?" The Dragon King returned to the guards with a frown on his face.

"What? That's impossible! We have been watching the entrance since the Dragon Emperor went inside! Unless he left through the windows, we would've definitely noticed him leaving!" The guards exclaimed.

"The windows are still locked, and they can only be locked from the inside! Furthermore, why would the Dragon Emperor leave through the windows? That doesn't make any sense!"  The Dragon King said.

"Actually! Now that I think about it, I sensed a slight disturbance coming from the Dragon Emperor's room a while ago, but it disappeared almost as soon as it appeared, so I didn't think too much of it." One of the guards said, unaware that he'd sensed the Dragon Marble's activation.

"Shit! I had even scheduled a meeting with the Fairy Empress for the Dragon Emperor! How could he suddenly disappear?!" The Dragon King cursed.

He then turned to look at the guards and commanded, "Find out what happened to the Dragon Emperor! I don't believe that he'd leave without telling us! Something must have happened to him and I want to know what!"
