"Since you want her to stay in the Star Dou Great Forest, then let her stay in the Star Dou Great Forest."
Di Tian had no objections whatsoever, and even strongly supported it.
As the purest true dragon in the Dragon Clan besides Gu Yuena, Di Tian was the most qualified person besides Gu Yuena to guide Di Mingli in combat and how to purify her bloodline.
"Hmm, in that case, let her stay here. And this too."
Pei Qing casually took off the Silver Dragon King's reverse scale hanging around his neck.
A cyan-green light shot out from the Silver Dragon King's reverse scale, transforming into Bi Ji's human form.
"If you return this to your master, Bi Ji will no longer be able to stay by your side at all times."
The Silver Dragon King's reverse scale contained a small space, which was why Bi Ji could always stay by Pei Qing's side.
But if Pei Qing returned it to Gu Yuena, he would lose a trump card.
"Di Tian, do you think I still need protection?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, I'll be forging a rough prototype of a divine artifact in the Western Desert. During this time, I'll refine my bloodline once more and then convert all my soul rings to my physical body."
"By then, my strength will have improved again, so who on this continent can kill me!"
A hint of arrogance appeared on Pei Qing's face. Before, he lacked strength and always needed Bi Ji's protection. Now, his strength had reached a near-invincible level. If he still needed Bi Ji by his side at all times, what would he be?
"You're right. With your strength, you are indeed strong enough to travel the continent."
Di Tian nodded, finally unable to hold back his words.
With Pei Qing's current strength, even if the Crimson King rushed at him, he would only get beaten up.
Not to mention Zi Ji, who would be easily beaten.
Pei Qing's strength was now definitely among the strongest on the Douluo Continent.
Even without Bi Ji by his side, he wouldn't face any problems now, because no one could easily kill him.
Even he himself wouldn't be able to kill him easily.
Let alone whether Pei Qing had any other trump cards up his sleeve.
"Bi Ji, I'll trouble you to stay and help Ming Li for the next while,"
Pei Qing said gently, holding Bi Ji's hand.
Bi Ji didn't struggle, letting Pei Qing hold her hand, and simply nodded in agreement.
Having watched Di Ming Li grow up since childhood, she had always wanted to participate in Di Ming Li's training plan, and now that Pei Qing had spoken, she naturally had no reason to refuse.
"Hey, aren't you going to consider my feelings? I feel like I can actually learn a lot by being by your side,"
Di Ming Li suddenly felt sweaty. Having already been beaten for a year, now she was about to be beaten again—this was simply hell!
"Since everything has been discussed, I'll head back now."
Pei Qing planned to go to Tian Dou City to see Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and then go to Tian Shui City to meet Shui Bing'er, who had been parachuted into a high-ranking position at Tian Shui Academy.
Then she was going to the Western Desert to forge her own divine artifact.
"I want to go with you! I'll go with you! Take me with you! Please, I'll do anything you ask!"
Di Mingli pleaded incessantly, but was ultimately met with Pei Qing's indifference.
"Alright, today's special training isn't over yet. Hurry up and come with me!"
Di Tian grabbed Di Mingli and led him directly into the depths of the Lake of Life.
Pei Qing and Bi Ji nodded and left the Lake of Life, casually creating a short spatial vortex and stepping inside.

Heaven Dou City!
Bathed in the afterglow of the sun, Dugu Yan, who had slept all day, finally awoke.
Since the end of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, she had been cultivating madly.
Finally, in just over a year, she successfully broke through to the Soul Emperor realm. She
also smoothly absorbed a 50,000-year-old Stone Cave Soul-Slaying Dragon!
Then, she was fortunate enough to obtain an extremely powerful Soul Skill.
After breaking through to Soul Emperor, Dugu Yan fell into a state of lethargy, not even particularly wanting to cultivate.
A month had passed, and she still hadn't recovered from this state.
"I wonder what that little bastard is doing. More than a year has passed, and he hasn't even thought of coming to see me."
"Ah… what a heartless guy."
A hint of longing flashed in Dugu Yan's eyes, but it was quickly suppressed by resentment.
She had already decided that when that guy came, she would definitely show him her power.
Yes, she would definitely bite him hard, making him not come to see her—he was simply a bastard.
"Sister Lingling, I told you! Sister Yan was definitely talking bad about me. You didn't believe me, but now you do!"
"Hmph, you owe me a promise now. If you don't keep it, I won't let you off easily."
"Sister Yan, I'm not heartless. I've been working so hard for you for over a year."
Suddenly, a familiar voice rang in her ears. Dugu Yan's face lit up with joy, and she turned her head sharply, only to see a very familiar figure.
Pei Qing was holding Ye Lingling's hand, standing there looking at her with a cold gaze.
Over a year had passed, but he hadn't changed at all; she still loved his face.
Seeing Pei Qing suddenly appear behind her, Dugu Yan's joy quickly turned to a flushed red.
Since Pei Qing was here, did he hear what she just said? She was so
embarrassed!
Dugu Yan slumped weakly, falling back onto her soft bed, completely sinking into despair.
"Sister Lingling, do you think Sister Yan can't feel anything right now?"
"If we put her socks on her head, she wouldn't resist either."
Pei Qing pulled Ye Lingling again, and Ye Lingling didn't resist at all, just nodded with a blush.
"Yan Yan won't find out, Pei Qing, are we really going to do this?"
Ye Lingling asked nervously. Although she was very nervous, why did Pei Qing detect a subtle excitement in her eyes?
Ah... Sister Lingling has become naughty too.
Yes, she must have learned it from Sister Yan, otherwise how could Sister Lingling, who is as pure as a little rabbit, have become naughty?
"Stop it! Lingling, you traitor! Didn't we agree to deal with this big bad guy together? You're actually helping him deal with me!"
Dugu Yan suddenly stood up and said angrily.
"Pei Qing, I didn't..."
Ye Lingling retorted sarcastically.
