Zi Ji was truly at her wit's end.
She carried Lin Xiao on a tour.
Lin Xiao hugged Zi Ji's neck, passing through high mountains and deep valleys, waterfalls and rivers. He listened to the sound of the forest amidst the trees and watched the mist in the clouds. Although he could fly himself, riding a dragon was a different experience altogether.
It even made Lin Xiao consider finding a mount for himself.
Feng Yu quietly emerged from his sea of consciousness, transforming into a little red bird and standing on Lin Xiao's shoulder, looking down at Zi Ji. So this is all a pure-blooded true dragon amounts to.
"Hey, are you done yet?"
Zi Ji was getting impatient.
Every moment of being ridden by Lin Xiao was incredibly torturous. Bearing the weight of a human was almost negligible for the Hell Demon Dragon King.
But the sense of shame and humiliation in her heart was like being pricked by needles.
"What's the rush? How long have I been riding?"
Lin Xiao stroked Zi Ji's scales, discovering that they were not only smooth and delicate but also had no fishy smell at all, gleaming brightly and feeling very comfortable to the touch.
Zi Ji's body suddenly trembled, and she staggered in the air.
"Hey, what are you touching randomly!"
"Heh, still a sensitive dragon."
"No, you touched my reverse scale!"
"The strong are meant to be humiliated by the weak; you just have to endure it!"
Feng Yu: ?
"Lin Xiao, didn't you say that backwards?"
"No, I was just talking nonsense."
Lin Xiao rode Zi Ji down to the ground.
He jumped off the dragon, patting his butt.
Zi Ji transformed into a human, her purple-clothed face completely flushed, her skin also pink.
Good heavens, you couldn't tell at all before!
Zi Ji said resentfully:
"Today's humiliation will be repaid a hundredfold in the future!"
She would not only ride Lin Xiao.
She would also whip his butt with a small leather whip!
Lin Xiao rolled his eyes. "Welcome to give it away for free; I look forward to the next feeling of being a dragon knight."
Zi Ji snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Lin Xiao's faint voice rang out.
"Wait, did I say you could leave?"
Zi Ji: ?
Her heart sounded an alarm, and she said warily:
"What do you mean by that?"
I even let you ride me.
Do you still want to kill the dragon to silence me?
Lin Xiao said:
"You came all the way from the Star Dou Great Forest to the human world; your purpose shouldn't be just to let me be a dragon knight once."
"You should be here to find the Emperor Auspicious Beast?"
Zi Ji nodded, saying suspiciously:
"Do you know where the Emperor Auspicious Beast is?"
"Could it have been captured by you!"
Lin Xiao's face darkened, and he said unhappily:
"Capture my ass!"
"You come with me... hurry up and take your Emperor Auspicious Beast home!"
Zi Ji was completely confused, not understanding what was happening.
The Emperor Auspicious Beast seemed to be with Lin Xiao?
Moreover, Lin Xiao seemed very impatient.
Zi Ji was completely bewildered.
Lin Xiao told her to follow, and she hesitated for a long time, finally following him.
Then, with the arrival of the Ice Empress and Snow Empress, Zi Ji bristled like a hedgehog.
She realized she couldn't escape at all now!
"A trap! This is definitely a trap!"
"Lin Xiao, did you imprison the Emperor Auspicious Beast, and now you want to imprison me too?"
Zi Ji could already imagine the tragic fate that awaited her!
What exactly would the evil Lin Xiao do to a proud dragon?
"You're sick."
Lin Xiao didn't bother with Zi Ji.
He returned to the Ye Residence, where Wang Qiu'er, who had been harassing him daily at fixed times, wanting to have children with him, was standing in front of the gate, waiting. Seeing Lin Xiao, all her pink hair stood on end.
"Lin Xiao, are you really not considering having children with me?"
"My power of destiny can make you even stronger!"
"I can even pass on the Golden Dragon King's bloodline to you!"
Zi Ji, behind Lin Xiao, recognized her as the Emperor Auspicious Beast in human form, her eyes widening in disbelief!
What was the Emperor Auspicious Beast saying!
She was the Beast God's adopted daughter, the darling of the Star Dou Great Forest, and she ran out of the Star Dou Great Forest to the human world, just to mate and have children with Lin Xiao?
Zi Ji trembled with anger!
She was beyond furious, feeling a great sorrow!
Emperor Auspicious Beast, how can you face the Beast God, face your master, face all of us Ferocious Beasts who regard you as a treasure?!
Only then did the Emperor Auspicious Beast notice Zi Ji, and she said in surprise:
"Sister Zi Ji, why are you here?"
Zi Ji suppressed her anger and said:
"You're asking me? I want to ask you!"
"Why did you leave the Star Dou Great Forest for no reason, why did you say you wanted to have children with Lin Xiao, why did you betray us?!"
The Emperor Auspicious Beast was a little confused, and when she came to her senses, she hurriedly explained.
"It's not what you think, Sister Zi Ji..."
Just as she was explaining, more people arrived outside.
It was Xiao Wu, bringing Gu Yuena, wanting to take the Emperor Auspicious Beast, who had secretly run away, back.
Zi Ji took one look, and her brain went blank.
"M-Master?"
Then, Zi Ji witnessed a scene she would never forget.
Her master had actually come to Lin Xiao's side eagerly, performing another set of military training combos, leaving Zi Ji stunned and even beginning to doubt her life.
Was this really her master?
Zi Ji's mentality completely collapsed!
She had worked herself to the bone, fighting with Lin Xiao, only to be ridden by him in the end.
But her master and the Emperor Auspicious Beast had chosen to surrender?
We, your subjects, were ready to fight to the death, but why has Your Majesty surrendered first!
Lin Xiao said:
"Come in and let's talk."
Zi Ji hesitated for a moment, then followed Lin Xiao into the house.
...
Regarding the Ferocious Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Lin Xiao and Feng Yu had already discussed a common strategy, which was to strike without killing, like Zhuge Liang capturing Meng Huo seven times, forcing them to submit.
Because the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena was buried there like a landmine, Feng Yu's identity was not yet suitable for exposure.
However, once Lin Xiao became a Titled Douluo and absorbed the origin of the Ice Fire Dragon Kings, he would no longer need to be too wary of Gu Yuena.
At that time, Feng Yu would be able to formally come forward.
But at the moment, the focus was still on appeasing the Ferocious Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Lin Xiao said:
"Tell Di Tian not to be afraid. Although the Asura God's eighth trial is for me to kill him, I have never thought about inheriting the Asura Godhood from beginning to end."
"That day in the Star Dou Great Forest, I was originally chasing Pope Bibi Dong. If Di Tian hadn't stopped me and tried to keep me there, I wouldn't have attacked him."
Zi Ji was skeptical.
She pondered for a long while, then said:
"I can't understand your reasons for doing this. Aren't humans and Soul Beasts enemies? You're clearly human, so why wouldn't you harm us Soul Beasts?"
Lin Xiao smiled slightly.
He pointed to the Ice Empress and Snow Empress beside him.
"As long as they follow orders, does it really matter whether they're human or Soul Beast?"
"If Soul Masters exterminate Soul Beasts, it's essentially a disguised form of self-extermination."
"The number of Soul Beasts is so vast. Mutual slaughter among their own kind is no different in essence from Soul Master hunting—it's all just the law of the jungle."
"For Soul Beasts, what truly needs to be resolved is the path to advancement, the unfair treatment they receive from the God Realm."
Lin Xiao said calmly:
"This is something your master wanted to do but couldn't, but I can."
"If I want to, I can designate an area within the Star Dou Great Forest, giving Soul Beasts a larger space to live and thrive."
"In the future, I might even open up the path to godhood for Soul Beasts."
Although Lin Xiao's tone was calm, he exuded an undeniable confidence that made Zi Ji look at him with new eyes.
