'Should I tell her the truth? But if they learn that I am not from the royal family… No, I should pretend to be a Dragon Emperor for my own safety…'
After pondering for a moment, Yuan has decided to act as though he was from the Royal Dragon Family, as he would be killed if he wasn't.
"That's right, I am indeed from the Royal Dragon Family," he said to Shen Shi in a calm voice.
Of course, Shen Shi wasn't completely convinced by his words, as there are several questionable points about his claims.
First, why has he kept his identity a secret until now? If he'd revealed his identity earlier, he wouldn't have been treated so roughly.
Secondly, he didn't have concrete proof that he was from a royal family, and they won't be able to verify his identity until they bring him back to their family, where the tools to verify his identity is available.
The Dragon Spatial Ring and the Golden Dragon Robe may convince a lot of people, but it won't fool the real royal family.
