"This... Another 9th-rank spiritual plant?! One with draconic attribute at that..." Alliance Head Situ muttered in shock as he stared at the spiritual plants coiled like small dragons.

Hm?

Alliance Head Situ felt a piercing gaze swept through his back. He turned around and saw a young lady with a head full of blonde hair. She had a pair of ocean-blue eyes that radiated with coldness. He was slightly taken aback to see such a young lady with a cultivation level that was even greater than his own daughter. He knew that his daughter was the most talented young elite in the Alliance, so he was amazed.

'There's actually such a talented young lady here? And from the looks of it, she seems to be even younger than Liuli. Interesting...' He muttered in his heart, feeling a bit surprised.

"You entered my master's store with hostile looks. What is your purpose in coming here?" Theia asked in a chilly tone as she glared fixedly at Alliance Head Situ. She could sense that this middle-aged man was already at the Nascent God Realm, but she was not afraid of him.

"Your master? You mean, you are a disciple of this store's owner? What a shame!" Alliance Head Situ shook his head with a look of regret. He initially wanted to take Theia with him to the Alliance, but it looks like it wasn't possible anymore.

Theia frowned when she heard the middle-aged man's tone. "What do you mean? I am not master's disciple. I am his loyal servant and sword! If you are not here to order anything, then leave immediately." She said with a fiery gaze that seemed as if she was about to shoot fire through her eyes.

Alliance Head Situ's eyes widened when he heard how Theia talked to him. It has been a while since someone had spoken to him in such a manner.

"Hahaha! You're quite something girl. For you to be this confident, I bet your master is also someone at the Nascent God Realm, no? Then, allow me to meet this master of yours. I want to see for myself the person who made you this confident to speak to me like that." Alliance Head Situ chuckled coldly.

A wave of frightening aura enveloped the whole store as the middle-aged released his true power.

Everyone felt suffocated when this overbearing aura was released.

"What the! Who is that person?! He actually dared to act rampantly in front of Young Miss Theia. He's got the guts of steel..."

"Didn't you hear his subordinates earlier? They called him Alliance Head Situ. Do you know what that means? That person is most likely one of the Alliance Heads of the Alliance!"

The customers gasped in surprise when someone said that. They were aware of what that name implied. It was the behemoth that ruled over the entire Profound Dragon Continent, and for one of the Alliance Heads to be present inside the store was already shocking!

"Hold it!" A sweet voice echoed inside the store which instantly removed the suffocating atmosphere. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as they stared at the owner of the voice.

She was a tall young lady with long purple hair. Her pair of beautiful eyes were staring daggers at the middle-aged man. This woman is Long Meili.

Alliance Head Situ was surprised that his aura was actually swiftly taken down by someone. He glanced at the woman responsible for it and furrowed his eyebrows. "Your aura contains a strong amount of draconic energy. You are not a human... What is an immortal dragon like you doing in this place? Could it be that you are the owner?" He asked, feeling a bit confused. He was also surprised to see such a high-level savage beast living inside an empire.

He did not know how many times he had been surprised today and it seemed like he had underestimated the power that this store held...

Long Meili shook her head with a dark look. "I'm not the owner of this store. I am but my master's servant and steed." She replied coldly. She did not even look embarrassed when she said those words.

"Servant? Steed? Huh?" Alliance Head Situ became even more confused. A steed at the Nascent God Realm and someone from the noble Dragon Race at that?

"A noble dragon like yourself actually submitted to a human? Now, I'm becoming even more curious at this master of yours..." Alliance Head Situ muttered while looking at Long Meili with a hint of mockery. He had once tried to tame a young dragon during his younger years, but the dragon refused to submit to him, so he could only choose to kill it.

Just as Long Meili was about to erupt into a frenzy, she suddenly paused and her expression seemed to have cooled down.

"Human, if not for my master, I would have already smacked you to death. Hmph!" She coldly harrumphed before she left with heavy strides.

Alliance Head Situ glanced at her departing figure with a look of interest. He then shifted his gaze to Theia who was still glaring at him as if he owed her a large sum of money.

"Where is your master? Is he too scared to meet me?" He said while chuckling in disdain.

Theia clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth. An unconcealed look of rage can be seen on her face. She did not want to hear anyone badmouthing Jiu Shen, so she was already incredibly angry this time.

"You will regret this..." Theia muttered through gritted teeth. She then left the scene after that.

"Woah! Even Young Miss Theia is powerless against that man. It looks like he is really an Alliance Head of the Alliance!"

"I think something interesting is about to happen this time..."

The customers discussed in hushed voices as they watched the entire scene being played out. They were also feeling a bit excited and expectant on what was about to happen.
