Dragonkind were indeed proud, and often ill-tempered, but once they reached the level of a True Dragon, there were few things that could truly anger them.
Even a band of monsters from Heavenly Battle Mountain making brazen boasts outside the Dragon Palace would, at most, earn a little disgust from Feng Yan. They hardly warranted his anger.
