It wasn't long until Eri's words were proven accurate and images of Revi and Tephe hugging Adams' arms appeared on Xer-verse for all to see and comment on.
[… What the fuck! Is that the Phoenix Empress on a man's arm?]
[… It is and she's not alone, that other beauty is White Dragon Tephe.]
[… I guess the celebration to welcome White Dragon Tephe to Fenix Nest has finally started.]
[… Who the fucks the lucky guy between them and why's his face blurred out?]
[… No clue, but it pisses me off.]
[… Narven's not gonna be happy when he sees this. Kek.]
[… HAHAHAHA, Imagine being voted the most handsome guy in the universe, yet having to watch the woman you've been lusting after for centuries smiling happily on another man's arm.]
[… Narven can go suck it, most handsome man, my ass.]
[… He doesn't need to suck it, he has plenty of women who want to do that for him.]
[… Not the one woman he truly wants, though. Kek.]
[… Do you really think he wants Revi in that way? We all know how much of a Playboy that's handsome fuck is.]
[… She's the empress of the Phoenix race and has been for over two thousand years. Not even Narven is stupid enough to do a Terran.]
[… Do a Terran? What the fuck does, do a Terran mean?]
[… You know, like causing a diplomatic catastrophe by trying to hook up with the princess of another race.]
[… Ohhhh, trueeee, except this time it's hooking up with an empress, which is worse. Kek.]
[… What's worse is the fact that both races are in the same sector of space. At least when that Terran streamer did it, it was to the princess of the Solarians who are on the opposite side of the universe lol.]
[… Ohhh wow, how respectful of him. Kekekeke.]
[… You're all never gonna let us Terrans forget that.]
[… Nope, never.]
[… But the Solarian Princess personally requested to meet with our Terran Princess.]
[… Just goes to show how forgiving the Solarian Princess is when it was she who was accosted.]
[… So what do we all think that handsome dickhead is going to do about this?]
[… You men are just jealous that Narven is hotter than you.]
[… Uglys should keep their mouths shut.]

Somewhere in the Draco Galaxy.
"What the hell is this?" A ridiculously handsome male with draconian horns asked with a mixture of shock and anger as he looked wide-eyed at the trending Xer-verse posts on a holographic screen before him.
The man had been relaxing in a club with some other men while scantily clad women sprawled all over them and tried to gain their attention, while other women were up on small stages around the club dancing for the pleasure of the other patrons.
"Told you it was interesting," Said one of the other male dragons with a smirk.
"Seems the Phoenix Empress has found someone better than our most handsome man in the universe," A second male dragon said in a teasing tone.
"No one is more handsome than Narven," One of the women said flirtatiously.
"Or better in bed," another commented.
"Damn straight," Narven boasted as he grabbed the ass of one of the women.
"I keep telling you, man, you're never going to win her heart if you keep sleeping around with any women who compliment you," A third male dragon suddenly advised.
"Come on, Zydri, you know our boy Narven can dominate any woman he gets his hands on," The second male proclaimed.
"I can attest to that," one of the women said with a flirtatious giggle.
"He plans to make Empress Revi the queen of his group relationship," the first male added.
"She's so lucky," the other woman pouted jealously.
"Don't worry, baby, I still plan to give you all plenty of special attention," Narven replied before kissing the woman.
"Narveeeennnn, don't forget about me," the second woman complained.
"So needy," Narven said to the woman before kissing her.
"Seriously? You think Empress Revi will appreciate your actions? She's an empress for fucks sake," Zydri remarked.
"Relax, babe, let Narven do as he likes while you and I have some fun," the female dragon who was cuddling up to Zydri said as she ran her hand over his chest.
"Why don't you listen to Cykot, Zydri. After all, it's not like you can handle more than one woman at a time, so go entertain her." The second male joked.
"Fuck you, Kalre. Just because I can focus my attention on more than one woman at a time, unlike all of you," Zydri remarked.
"And I love you for that, baby." Cykot cooed before turning to glare at Kalre.
"Ohhh, so scary," Kalre joked before he focused his attention on the two women who had been cuddling up to him.
"So what do you plan to do, Narven?" The first male asked.
"Head over to Fenix Nest and teach that brat not to touch my future queen, naturally," Narven replied.
"Whhaaattttt? You plan to leave us already?" One of Narven's women asked while pouting.
"At least satisfy us first, King Narven," The second cooed as she ran her hand down towards his crotch.
"You certainly know how to get what you want, don't you?" Narven smirked before standing up and leading his two women away to a private room.
"You need to learn to keep your nose out of his business, Zydri. Leave this loser to his woman and let's go play with ours, Denog," Kalre said before leading his own women away.
The one called Denog laughed and nodded before following after Kalre.
"Fucking hypocrites," Zydri cursed as he watched them leave.
"Why do you even hang out with those idiots, babe? You know you're better than them?" Cykot asked in a loving tone as she dropped her flirtatious act.
"So that I can get you out of this place and we can be together," Zydri replied as he lovingly stroked Cykot's hair.
"I love that you want to free me, babe, but Sairmar is dangerous. The last thing I want is you getting hurt or worse," Cykot said before kissing Zydri passionately.

"Adam, try some of this, they're called Firecracker Bites and they're delicious," Revi said eagerly as she held one up to Adam's mouth.
They had just reached a section of the capital not far from the statue where many members of the phoenix race had set up stalls for the celebration.
Adam smiled weakly and was about to say that he could feed himself when Tephe quickly leaned over and ate the Firecracker Bite.
"What are you doing, Tephe?" Revi asked in an annoyed tone.
"Stopping you from getting ahead of me," Tephe retorted in annoyance.
"Why are you getting in the way of me having fun with Adam? You've been travelling with him all this time while I haven't seen him in two thousand years, don't you think it's my turn?" Revi complained.
"Exactly, I've been travelling with him longer, which means I should be next to join the harem. Once that's done, then you can have fun with him," Tephe retorted.
"Errr, girls?" Adam asked in embarrassment.
"My, aren't we popular," Rowena said while flashing her signature smirk.
"Why are you just standing there watching? Can't you help somehow?" Adam asked as he looked over his shoulder.
"Why would we want to do that when it's so entertaining to watch?" Rowena asked.
"Agreed," Elemence remarked before adding, "I've known Revi since childhood, yet I've never seen her act like this; it's quite interesting."
"I'm so happy I'm such good entertainment for you," Revi retorted as she glared at Elemence.
"Don't glare at me like that," Elemence chuckled before adding, "Take a look around you, your actions are already causing people to gossip and question what your relationship is with Adam."
"She's right," Eri remarked as she showed them all several Xer-verse posts of the three of them arm in arm.
Revi's eyes widened in surprise as she saw the post before looking around, noticing that everyone was looking at them.
"Haha, please tell me you didn't just realise?" Elemence asked while laughing.
"I didn't, I was too busy enjoying myself," Revi replied.
"Hahaha," Elemence laughed out loud as she saw her best friend's reaction.
"And here I thought she would be more demure and empress-like with her interactions with him," Aphrodite said while smirking.
"I guess loving someone and not being able to act on it or even see them for over two thousand years can affect how you act when you finally do see them again," Lorelie remarked with interest.
"How…. how did you know?" Revi asked in surprise.
"You didn't really hide it well," Lorelie replied.
"Yeah, we've known since you first spoke to Adam after he and Tephe returned from the Siege of Fenix Nest," Stacey added.
"Really?" Adam asked in surprise.
"It's probably only this fool that didn't realise," Rowena added as she winked at Adam before saying to him, "You really need to work on recognising women's feelings better, babe."
"I'm well aware I'm lacking when it comes to understanding all your feelings," Adam replied while sighing.
