Chapter 4440
Just as the woman was about to lean in for a kiss with Kai, panic suddenly filled her eyes, and she unexpectedly pushed him away!
In that instant, Kai jolted awake, staring at the woman before him, gripped by a wave of fear!
It felt as though he had been under some sort of control just moments ago!
“Senior, why didn’t you stop me?” Kai exclaimed, feeling a mix of anger and frustration towards the Red Cloud Demon Monarch residing in his consciousness. How could he have been controlled without a warning?
“I shouted at you for what felt like ages! You didn’t hear a word! You really lose your mind when a beautiful woman is around,” the Red Cloud Demon Monarch replied, exasperated.
“This is your weakness, and there’s nothing I can do about it…”
The Red Cloud Demon Monarch’s irritation was palpable!
Embarrassed, Kai responded, “I’m sorry, Senior. I guess I just couldn’t help myself.”
“Fortunately, that woman pushed you away just in time. Otherwise, you two would have ended up in quite a compromising situation,” the Red Cloud Demon Monarch added.
Kai was left confused. Why did this woman seduce him only to push him away at the last moment?
“How did you acquire a dragon bloodline? And why is it the most prestigious golden dragon bloodline?” the woman asked, her disbelief evident.
“I’m the son of a golden dragon, so having a golden dragon bloodline is only natural,” Kai explained. “But who are you to know my bloodline so easily?”
His curiosity piqued, he realized that while some could sense his dragon lineage, very few could identify him as a true golden dragon!
To his surprise, the woman’s expression turned excited as she knelt before him. “My daughter belongs to the Green Dragon Clan, Cen Biqing…”
“You’re also part of the Dragon Clan?” Kai exclaimed, his eyes widening in joy!
He hadn’t expected the gorgeous woman before him to be a member of the Dragon Clan. Initially captivated by her beauty, he hadn’t considered her lineage until now!
Releasing a faint aura of the dragon race from the dragon crystal on his chest, Kai directed it towards Cen Biqing.
Responding in kind, Cen Biqing emitted her own dragon aura, which mingled with his.
The two dragon auras recognized each other instantly!
Just as Kai intended to pull back his aura, he suddenly furrowed his brow. “Why are you so weak? It seems your strength has been sealed…”
Kai sensed that Cen Biqing’s powers were restrained by some unknown force.
“Master, I…”
“Please, don’t call me master. My name is Kai; just call me by my name or Mr. Chen,” he quickly interrupted, waving his hand to stop her.
While the golden dragon lineage was indeed more esteemed than the green dragon lineage, Kai didn’t want Cen Biqing to address him as master based on that distinction!
“Mr. Chen, my strength has indeed been sealed, and I’m trapped inside this forbidden tower,” Cen Biqing explained.
“Who imprisoned you here? And what about the decaying corpses on the ground floor and the bodies on the first floor? Did you kill them?” Kai inquired.
“It wasn’t me; I don’t have the power to kill anyone. I have no idea who is responsible. I’m not the only one trapped in this tower,” Cen Biqing clarified.
“What? There are others?” Kai was taken aback, surprised to learn that more individuals were imprisoned in the tower!
“Yes, there are others. This tower has nine levels, and each layer holds a different person,” she continued. “I don’t know who put us here. All I know is that there’s an ancient cultivator on the upper layer who has been practicing for ten thousand years. Even though we can’t leave, we can still communicate.”
“I don’t know much else about the situation, not even how many years I’ve been locked up,” she said, her expression growing somber. The weight of her resignation tugged at Kai’s heart, filling him with compassion!
