With the elder pointing that out, it seemed Long Kael was not the only one who was unhappy with the woman's behavior. It was not really a big deal for him, the elders were just making the fuss out of it.

Why?

Probably to show their importance to such people that were traveling on space and gained a very high reputation from it.

Does Long Kael care? Not at all.

The woman was none other than, Li Mae. She was currently more entertained with the stone that she was holding compared to talking to the people in the throne room.

With a nervous laugh, "Great King of the dragon race, please forgive my companion. Her brain was fried due to magic when she was younger so she had a tendency to act like a child." Wu Jiao explained sadly 'his' expression laced with pity.

It was not entirely a lie but even though Li Mae was eccentric she still functioned like a normal mortal, based on her age sometimes.

To make things more believable, Wu Jiao reached for Li Mae's head and tried to pat it. However before her hand touched the other's head, Li Mae suddenly snapped her teeth at her.

When Wu Jiao put her hand down and smiled helplessly to the elders, Li Mae went back to observing the stone in her hand.

Ignoring everyone else, Li Mae sat on the floor of the throne room.

"See everyone? Please do not mind her…" Wu Jiao asked

Long Kael waved his hand to stop the other elders from speaking before they could waste his time further. "You are?" He asked the male version of Wu Jiao his cheek laying on his fist while his arm rested on the chair's armrest.

Wu Jiao bowed respectfully before introducing herself. "Please call me, Manager Wu. I oversee the entire Shenxi Galactic Cruise management after the captain and the first mate." She said with confidence.

"The fae is called Dex. He was from the Shenxi Auction house and the other is called, Mae Mae." She added before calling, "Mae Mae be a good girl and give the king our gift…" She encouraged.

Li Mae shifted her gaze from the stone to Wu Jiao unhappily. The other responded with a knowing look and a nod of encouragement.

At least Li Mae cooperated this time, by standing up waving her hand to produce magical sparks. The sparks then slowly formed into different colors of flames that looked like dancing around Wu Jiao's hand.

When Wu Jiao held her palm, the flames touched it before they vanished and replaced by a box. Li Mae tried to get closer to Long Kael to give the box but she was stopped by the guards.

"Just give it to him." Wu Jiao said calmly which Li Mae followed.

"What is that? Your Majesty, please be careful." One of the elders replied. Magic was something that they were specialized in. Thus it was normal to be always cautious.

Instead of directly answering the elder, Wu Jiao smiled and spoke to Long Kael directly, "Your Majesty, we had been the space-traveling merchants first, before we have managed to solidify the presence of our Cruise ship in all the known quadrants." Wu Jiao started.


She could still remember how they had started, also why they were doing it. Regardless of the reason, the hardships that they experienced before the current status of Shenxi Galactic Cruise Corp was not simple. Wu Jiao was proud of what they had accomplished so far.

"We are very familiar with different royalties, thus we know that being a king could be a challenge. Please accept this artifact that would give you calmness whenever you need it. It will also save your life when you are on the verge of death." Wu Jiao continued to explain her voice laced with unmistakable adoration to the artifact.

She knew that her statement was not that much believable. However, she also knew that any King was a wise person.

He was known to be merciless but he would not be a King for a long time now if he chose to listen to hearsay instead of finding out things for himself.

Just as Wu Jiao had expected, Long Kael opened the box and found a bracelet in it. It had different colors of stones that were intricately designed. Picking up the bracelet, Long Kael carefully touched the bracelet and he immediately felt the magical calming effect of it.

He did not wear it, but he did not destroy it or return it as well which was a good sign.

"Is this your payment for the medicine that did not work?" Long Kael asked almost sarcastically. The bracelet was a good gift but he won't be swayed. 

The fae behind Wu Jiao shivered due to fear. While Wu Jiao did not show any signs of it. Even Li Mae went back to watching the stone that she was holding instead of bothering with the current events.

"Please, Your Majesty. There must be a mistake. Our herbs, potions are top of the class that we also distribute to other planets. We got the exclusivity in this country, surely we don't want that to be removed." Wu Jiao started. The quality of the materials when relating to magic was top class. She was sure that the problem was in something else.

"Then explain why it did not heal the one who needs it?" This time Long Kael's voice noticeably turned lower. His dragon was anxious and wanted to get back to his mate. He was feeling the urge to shake the man to answer his question immediately.

Immediately feeling the change of atmosphere, Wu Jiao hurriedly answered with seriousness, "Your Majesty, I just want to ask. Are you all completely sure that the injury was from magic?"

"Are you insulting me? I would not get your service if it was not the case." Long Kael said with confidence. However, that was not what he was feeling deep inside.

What if his mate was already injured way before he had thrown her on the seal which caused more complications?

Wu Jiao nodded her head, "Apologies. We just wanted to make sure. Because if the person is not healing from a magically induced injury then that only means that the person was cursed and will be dying very soon."
