All the seven children of the Celestial Emperor exuded a confident aura except for the seventh child. He did not exude an aura of confidence or arrogance like the rest of his siblings. There is also some tension with his other siblings as some of his siblings vassals think of him as not worthy of being a child of the Celestial Emperor.
The seventh child look meek and quiet, but Adrian could see that his soul is very pure and kind. It is even more beautiful than the soul of Princess Shini despite the latter being the most well-regarded of all the children of the Celestial Emperor. Adrian and Levin Cloud looked at the seventh princess with a direct gaze as both of them knew that he was the one that King Yama was talking about.

Before King Yama left...
"I also have a special request from the both of you. You see this as me reducing some of your slave... I mean workdays in the underworld. My good friend told me that he wanted to give this to a pure hearted lad that accidentally visited the underworld once." King Yama stated as he gave Adrian a bamboo scroll.
"This is!" Adrian exclaimed in great shock which made Levin Cloud look as well and the latter also bulged his eyes.
"This is a gift to the boy from my good friend, Zhong Kui. He said that the pure soul boy visited his part of the underworld and helped him gathering the evils spirits that escaped. He was not able to give the boy a gift in return which is why he wants to have you give this to him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe pure soul boy is called Reishi and I believe that he is the son of the Celestial Emperor of this country. Please deliver than item to him when you have the chance to do so. My old friend said that you must say that it is a gift from Uncle Kui. That is all on my end as I am quite busy." King Yama stated as he gave all the responsibility to them.
"Sometimes the world really is playing favorites." Levin Cloud stated as he stared intently at the item.
"I agree with you." Adrian nodded as he also looked at the item specification.

"It is a sealed Transcendent tier item. Should a mortal even be given such a thing as I know that Transcendent tier items can only be wielded by those with divinity?" Levin Cloud stated.
"There is a reason why it was sealed to Legendary Tier instead. Prince Reishi himself would be the only one that can use it and also unseal it when his powers grow." Adrian stated.
"I am actually amazed that the prince' soul was able to travel to the underworld and even help the God Zhong Kui. If people were to astral project to the underworld, they would either have their souls trapped there or the god of that domain sends them back." Levin Cloud stated.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"His soul was so pure that the God Zhong Kui must have took a liking to the boy and made him help. Although, I am pretty sure that the prince was just accompanying the God Zhong Kui and not literally helping." Adrian stated as he put the item in his inventory and wait for his chance to give it to the prince. It is also one of the reasons why he wanted to sneak inside the palace.

Back to the present...
Adrian is looking at Prince Reishi and not even paying attention to the Celestial Emperor which the others thought to be rude but they were told not to be rude. Even the Celestial Emperor is a bit confused but the gaze of the friend of the Vermillion Bird does not contain any hostility towards his son.
"Apologies for the sudden staring. I just have never seen such a pure souled individual like your son." Adrian stated as he was staring a bit too long.
"I think my son will take no offense but is this description a good thing?" The Celestial Emperor asked as the others were also a bit curious.
"You can say that it is the best description of a person's soul. I am Equinox, Champion of the Twin Gods and friend of the Vermillion Bird. I greet the Celestial Emperor!" Adrian stated as he introduced himself and his friends followed.
"I also apologize if I stared as well. I am Levin Cloud, the current Envoy of the Twin Gods." Levin Cloud stated.
"I am Kabrakan of the Ox Clan from the Selvaggians and current Representative of the Wilde. It is a pleasure to meet the Celestial Emperor." Kabrakan introduced himself.
"Even though you already know me, I shall also introduce myself as well. I am Peridot of the Ryujin and current Lady of the Elemental Court." Peridot also introduced herself.
The Celestial Emperor is shocked upon learning the titles of each of them as they were considered top tier guests. He knew that one of them was a long time friend of the Vermillion Bird but they did not expect that they were important individuals. Two were leaders in their religion while the others were representatives of their races.
