The Dragon's Reason

"That is an interesting proposition," Alex said to the Dragon soul. He made an expression of contemplating the offer in front of him, but there was no way he was going to accept it. 

He was only thinking of how to lightly reject. 

Even if there was a chance that he would never reach the Immortal realms on his own, which he knew with his talent was nearly impossible, there were still far better choices for who he would go to the Immortal lands with.

Scarlet was the first obvious choice with their bond, and then Bai Jingshen. However, if Pearl reached the Immortal realm before either of them were to leave, then he would go with Pearl.

There was no reason to accept the Dragon's offer right now.

After thinking for a bit, Alex asked the Dragon something. "How long do you plan on staying in this realm?" he asked.
