The Chaos Dragon Prince

Kali paused, stewing over Cain's question. From his solemn tone and rare overtly serious expressions, she knows this isn't an issue she could write off lightly.

If it's anything within the Nascent Formation realm, then it is an easy problem they can solve.

Even half-step Profound Soul or an Early Stage Profound Soul expert, Kali held the confidence to not completely lose to them.

However, for anything above the Early Stage of Profound Soul, that needs her utmost attention. Her level of disdain can only be carried so far when she needs to seriously consider a situation.

This is why Kali put forth her best effort in recalling the first steps they took within the City.

She had near picture-perfect memory, visualizing everything she saw while wandering the street. And also vividly recalling the sensations that swept past her.

Kali stayed like this for a couple of minutes. She tried her best to honor Cain's question. But, she simply couldn't remember feeling anything Cain was talking about.

Putting a finger to her chin, adopting a thinking position, Kali slowly shook her head.

She locked her eyes back onto Cain, telling him, "No….don't remember feeling anything like that. So you suppose we already have a target on our head, despite just making it to the City at that time?"

"Well….not really. It's just…." Cain's expression shifted into stages of confusion.

He was trying to find the right words for what he felt. As that vague sensation his soul emitted didn't give him any genuine threatening feeling.

Still, even if it was just a passing accident, Cain was a person who always wanted to cover all of his bases. This is how he was able to even cross into this universe because he so obsessively searched the internet for even the tiniest pieces of news.

After a moment, Cain then said, "I'm more so guessing that some expert is specifically searching for someone for whatever reason they have. And our natural aura is undoubtedly at a higher level than any average folk. I suppose we can just take this as a heads up."

"A heads up, huh…." Kali seriously thought about it for a moment. But in the very next moment, her eyes brightly lit up. "And? So what if some high expert really has eyes on us immediately. Hear me out brother, this isn't arrogance talking at all. Just pure confidence in mines but mainly your ability."

Cain raised a curious brow at Kali. This girl can be deviously crafty if she wants to be. So Cain opted to listen, staying silent and egging her to continue on.

Kali gave a wide toothy smile as she said, "Think about it, what traps our scheme can actually hold us down? Because of that emerald, you can literally teleport at least a hundred miles out of someone's sight. And at full power even further than that! And sure, a great expert can cover their Senses far beyond hundreds of miles. But, we have the advantage of perfectly masking out aura. With this, how can they actually find us? Hmph! Even for a trap, we can make it into a great opportunity to grow even stronger!"

Kali turned even more energetic at the end of her sentence. Putting her thoughts into words was enough to get her blood pumping once again.

Running away may not completely get rid of danger. And for sure, it leaves an incredibly shitty taste in her mouth doing so, feeling as if her Dragon Pride was directly damaged.

But in exchange, they can simply achieve some breakthrough to take complete, crushing revenge!

How could she not get excited over this?

"Hmm….hey. When you put it that way….!" Cain also quickly picked up on the great rewards that come with great risks.

His tone regained confidence as he said, "Yea, you make a lot of sense. Of course, we won't be seeking out trouble with overly powerful people. We'll be truly wishing to die then. But when the opportunity does unexpectedly jump out at us, we'll be the one in control."

"Heh. I'm actually in the opposite. Who cares about provoking whoever and whatever? Not like these mortals have any ability to suppress their souls. But ah~. I'll follow your lead."

Kali finally relented against Cain. Not like she couldn't see any merit in being cautious.

Shifting her mind off this topic, Kali was about to speak again until her words caught in her throat.

At that moment, her Spirit Sense detected a group strolling up to Cain's house.

Cain sensed this as well as he locked his eyes at the front door.

Then, only a few seconds after, the sibling duo heard a knock at the door.

Kali shot a look over at Cain, her expression not pleasing at all. She whispered, "Should we really?"

Looking over to the door and back at Kali, Cain stewed on his thoughts for a moment. He couldn't come up with any reasonable counterclaims to not doing this.

So with a casual shrug, he said, "Why not? Wouldn't take up too much of our time."

A low snort was Kali's response as Cain went over to the door.

Opening the door, Cain was greeted by three decently strong-looking young men. Each of them had friendly smiling expressions, already showcasing their zero ill intention.

Out of the three, the young man directly in front of Cain held the most distinct appearance and presence. He was sharply refined, having a firm cultivation foundation that's steps above someone like Zhao Tan.

This man had the countenance of a true Crimson Sea Academy promising talent. Elegant and a faint innate charm.

Towards this, Cain kept his expression neutral. He gave the first greeting, promptly asking,

"Yes? Is there something you need from us?"

The young man in the center gave off a friendly smile and waved in response. "You are Cain, and that is your sister Kali, right? We saw on the registry that the new Heaven-Defying Talents are living here. We don't want to be imposing, but my friends just had to see the cause of this great storm. After all, you two have amazing talent! My name is Leon, and these are my friends Yu and Ye."

"Hoh? Coming to see us hm?" At this moment, Kali suddenly walked over, coming to a stop a few feet behind Cain's right. Her voice was light, almost sounding playful.

As attention gathered on her, Kali asked, "And just exactly what do you want to do now that you're here?"

"Ah, we don't have any hidden intentions if you think we're here for that. We're simply trying to be friendly neighbors. And since you're new here, we would like to give you a toward around the Academy. My friends and I virtually know the Academy layout like the back of our palm."

Surely because of the timing of events, this seemed like a golden opportunity for Cain and Kali.

However, the sibling duo wasn't so quick to respond. Both of them had their own reason for their brewing doubts.

Kali already prefers not to work with other mortals. And now, this was amplified as she guessed the kind of person Leon is. She assumed this was a person who appears smiling on the surface but more than likely have their own schemes hidden deep within their heart.

Kali, of course, didn't have any concrete evidence on this. But she trusted her gut instincts on a person like him.

On the other hand, Cain didn't think too deeply actually. He found this as something natural to happen.

It's basically impossible for him and Kali to stay secluded because of their Heaven-Defying talent.

Now, the question was, should they entertain this?

The question swirled around in Cain for a moment. However, before he could come to an answer, he sensed another person rapidly hurry over here.

Then he and everyone else heard a loud shout.

"Hey, Leon! Hounding the new students already?! Damn, don't you have anything else to do?!"

"Tch! Why the hell….!" In an instant, Leon, Yu, and Ye's expressions contorted into grim gloom. They all looked like they had just stepped into heaping piles of rancid fluids.

'My? This looks more interesting.'

Feeling intrigued by the sudden development, Cain stepped out of his house with Kali following closely behind.

Snapping their attention to their right, the sibling duo spotted a cute young girl imposingly marching over here.

This young girl emitted the friendly yet stern type of charm. Her hands were hauntingly latched to her hips in the demeanor of a rigid teacher. Her eyes dangerously narrowed right on Leon's crew, pressuring them with just her mere gaze.

On first impressions, Cain was undoubtedly more interested in this young girl whose seemingly delicate, cute appearance contrasted with her stern attitude.

"You say we got nothing to do but aren't you also sticking your damn nose into other people's business as usual, Lei Le? So who's really the one with nothing to do?"

Leon practically spat out his words. He didn't relent under Lei Le's intent gaze at all.

But as Lei Le got close, suddenly, her attitude entirely changed. Instead of harshly stern, her expression instantly shifted to a jeering taunt.

"Hey Leon, you really shouldn't be focusing on me or other people. I mean, before coming here, I just got done talking with Xuan. You know, she looked particularly more upset than usual? She was spouting something of a missed promise time?"

"Ah?!"

Leon immediately jumped in shock as if he had just heard the entire world was going to end tomorrow. His eyes nearly bulged out of his sockets, and pools of cold sweat rained down his forehead.

In that instance, Leon shot a look over to the sibling duo before staring back to his friends, who looked equally as worried.

"We will have to meet another day. Something important just came up! Uh, later!"

Without a moment's delay, Leon, Yu, and Ye dashed off into the far distance with the greatest of speed. The wind whipped behind them as they seemingly ran for dear life.

And not even once did either Cain or Kali hear Leon's two friends speak even one word. Although, whether or not they did, didn't matter in the slightest for the sibling duo.

At this moment, Lei Li breathed a slight sigh.

"Seriously, Xuan needs to keep that miserable guy on a tighter leash." She muttered with a hint of dripping disdain.

Shaking her head over that, Lei Li then turned over to Cain and Kali. She sweetly smiled, giving off a spring peach grin that showcased all of her pearly white teeth.

"Sorry about that weirdness. You don't want to get involved with that fellow. His character is no good, no good at all.. And also? It truly is an honor to meet you two! For a formal introduction, my name is Lei Li."
