By the time Xu Ran emerged from the Lake of Life, it was already quite late.
Xu Ran usually healed Gu Yuena in the afternoon, so that after the healing, he could vent all the emotions he had suppressed before.
"I wonder what the gorgeous Zi Ji is up to," Xu Ran smiled mischievously, his lips curling up. He had made a deal with Zi Ji in the morning, asking her to take a shower tonight, and she agreed, so...
"System Miss, I have a question. Can a ferocious beast like Zi Ji reward me with Skill Points?" Xu Ran paused before asking suddenly.
Before, the System Miss's definition of a Goddess Level "Harem" seemed to exist only among human Soul Master.
But logically, ferocious beasts that have lived over a hundred thousand years should come with Skill Points rewards, right?
"Of course, it counts. Zi Ji, as a ferocious beast, would have had hopes of becoming a Divine Beast if it were a long time ago. In the distant past, there was a significant chance for ferocious beasts to become Divine Beasts. However, after the defeat of the Dragon God, Human Gods began to beware of many ferocious beasts, and the path for ferocious beasts to ascend to Divine Beasts was cut off."
"So under normal circumstances, the talents of Zi Ji and her kind are extremely powerful. It took hundreds of thousands of years for soul beasts to produce these Top Ten Ferocious Soul Beasts. Their value is much greater than that of human Soul Masters." The System Miss patiently explained.
"That means I can also get quite a few Skill Points from Zi Ji..." Xu Ran's eyes lit up. It seems that this trip to the Aquipeia Forest was not in vain.
Zi Ji, Bi Ji, Wang Qiu'er, Gu Yuena, this wave alone should start at least with ten thousand Skill Points, definitely a profit.
However, Gu Yuena is temporarily untouchable, Wang Qiu'er has yet to Transform, Bi Ji is okay, but it seems difficult to develop very sincere emotions in a short period of time.
But the Skill Points that Zi Ji could bring him should also start at two thousand at least.
...
On the outskirts of the Lake of Life,
this is the territory of the Hell Demon Dragon Clan.
The fact that the Hell Demon Dragon Clan can own a piece of territory on the outskirts of the Lake of Life is enough to show their strength.
Dragons, regardless of what type of dragon-class soul beast, are supreme beings in the soul beast world.
The Black Dragon Clan now has only Di Tian left, while the Hell Demon Dragon Clan is slightly better off but has less than ten members. With Zi Ji and Di Tian looking after the only remaining younger generation of their clan, they live quite comfortably.
"The Hell Demon Dragon, indeed a top tier bloodline of the Soul Beast Clan," Xu Ran, having transformed into an Auspicious Beast, stood over three meters long as he walked through the territory of the Hell Demon Dragon Clan, observing the surrounding Hell Demon Dragons who were at least seven to eight meters long and obviously very powerful. The weakest of them boasted tens of thousands of years in "Cultivation Level."
Transformed into an Auspicious Beast and feeling the aura of the Auspicious Beast on Xu Ran, joyful dragon roars resonated around him.
All the Hell Demon Dragons respectfully prostrated themselves from afar when looking towards Xu Ran, expressing their respect for the Auspicious Beast.
For higher class soul beasts of the Soul Beast Clan, they generally do not submit to other soul beasts, but when faced with an imperial Auspicious Beast which naturally brings benefits to all soul beasts, they put aside their pride to show their humble side.
...
"My lord, what brings you here?" A fragrant breeze wafted by, and that familiar enchanting voice that haunted dreams sounded, as Zi Ji appeared before Xu Ran.
She was a twenty-plus meter long Purple-Black Giant Dragon, over five meters tall. Her eyes, big as copper bells, burned with purple-black flames, and her entire body exuded evil and strangeness.
Looking at the immense ferocious beast before him, Xu Ran felt some trepidation.
After all, it was his first time seeing the true form of one of the Top Ten Ferocious Soul Beasts.
When he had arrived at the Lake of Life before, Di Tian and the others had all transformed into human forms and had not shown their true selves. Now looking at it, it was indeed too terrifying.
Xu Ran estimated that Zi Ji now possessed strength at least comparable to a Level 97 Title Douluo from the human world, if not stronger.
Because the Soul Master System was still in its infancy at this stage, the fact that Brock could make a name for himself was telling. Thus, the strength of Zi Ji and other ferocious beasts was very formidable. Even more so when they fought desperately!
He couldn't believe that a ferocious beast like Zi Ji wouldn't have some life-saving methods. Even Ah Yin possessed the Undying Immortal Domain, so Zi Ji and the others would be even more terrifying. This might also explain why the Martial Soul Hall hadn't penetrated deep into the core of Aquipeia Forest over the years, and why so many Titled Douluos were mobilized just to hunt a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, probably because they were wary of Zi Ji and her group of ferocious beasts.
"My Lord, what are you thinking about so intently? Could it be that Zi Ji does not catch your eye?" Zi Ji spoke with a coy charm. At this moment, Zi Ji had already transformed into her human form.
She was dressed in a black bustier dress, exposing her elegantly curved neck and clearly visible collarbones. Her purple-black hair cascaded down her shoulders, the black strands contrasting against her pale skin in a captivating way.
"Who else could I be thinking about? Of course, it's this little treasure of mine." Xu Ran came back to his senses, looking at Zi Ji, he wrapped his arms around her and buried his nose in the nape of her neck, brazenly breathing in, taking in her faint fragrance.
"So fragrant," Xu Ran whispered softly, feeling contentment with the woman in his arms.
Zi Ji was indeed one of the two most beautiful flowers of Aquipeia Forest, naturally stirring.
"As long as My Lord likes it," Zi Ji said with a flushed face, even her neck tinged with a shy blush.
At this moment, she could clearly feel the astonished gazes of her tribespeople, which made her blush even more.
As the leader of her clan, she always maintained a majestic presence in front of her people. When had she ever shown such a girlish demeanor?
"My Lord, shall we go inside and talk more intimately?" Biting her red lips gently, Zi Ji spoke softly.
"Naturally," he said, and with that, Xu Ran scooped her up in his arms amidst her startled cry. She was worried about her clansmen seeing her like this, wasn't she? Well, he wanted them all to see.
Zi Ji was his woman, who dared to challenge that?
"My Lord…" Zi Ji gently pounded on Xu Ran's chest, speaking flirtatiously. Feeling the overwhelmingly strong masculine scent coming from Xu Ran's body, she went limp in his arms, saying no more.
Auspicious Beast, the Soul Beast Emperor.
And Xu Ran was even someone valued by Gu Yuena.
Now Xu Ran's status was second only to Gu Yuena's, towering above all the beasts under the heavens.
Moreover, Xu Ran also had a human form, and in the future, he could even ascend to godhood.
With such a being, why couldn't she entrust herself to him?
"By the way, my treasure, which way to go?" Xu Ran asked sheepishly, smiling awkwardly after he took a few steps and realized he didn't know the way, then turned to the charming woman in his arms.
"Over there." Zi Ji rolled her eyes at Xu Ran, clearly irked, and extended her jade hand to point in the direction.
