The Soul Beast Clan's Greatest Problem!

Di Tian flew into a rage. He marched up to Xiong Jun, hoisted him into the air, and roared, "Xiong Jun, say that again! What the freaking hell do you mean, I'm the biggest traitor to the beasts?"

"If you can't give me a proper explanation today, I'll freaking roast you!"

Xiong Jun said, "You already are the biggest traitor to the beasts."

"What if I do give you one?"

Di Tian was so angry he laughed. "Fine! If you can give me a proper explanation today, I'll climb onto the spit and roast myself."

Gu Yuena, Bi Ji, and the others looked at one another in surprise.

What had gotten into this stupid bear all of a sudden?

Why had he called Di Tian the biggest traitor to the beasts?

Xiong Jun tucked one paw behind his back, putting on an air of profound learning. "Di Tian, let me ask you something."

"During the hundreds of thousands of years that Lord Gu Yuena has been asleep, haven't you been managing the Soul Beast Clan in her place?"

Di Tian said, "Yes. What about it?"

Xiong Jun said, "Just look at that hundred-thousand-year-old Soul Beast called Da Wu. When Xiao Wu was little, all she taught her to do, day in and day out, was eat, drink, and have fun."

"Don't you think there's something wrong with that?"

Di Tian said, "What's wrong with it?"

Xiong Jun said, "You still haven't realized how serious this is. You're as stupid as a bear."

"Let me ask you: didn't that Soul Beast called Da Wu ever teach Xiao Wu that we Soul Beasts are one clan, one body, that when one suffers, all suffer, and when one prospers, all prosper?"

"Didn't that Soul Beast called Da Wu ever teach Xiao Wu what she should do as a member of the Soul Beast Clan?"

"That's because the parents of that Soul Beast called Da Wu never taught Da Wu either."

"Most importantly, when that Soul Beast called Da Wu was being hunted by Spirit Hall, none of us Ferocious Beasts of the Soul Beast Clan gave Xiao Wu any protection."

"Xiao Wu became the sole Dao companion of a God King of the Divine Realm and never spoke a word on behalf of our Soul Beast Clan. Isn't that only natural?"

"Because our Soul Beast Clan never gave Xiao Wu and her mother any protection at all."

"Isn't that a dereliction of your duty, Di Tian?"

"Doesn't that make you, Di Tian, the biggest traitor to the beasts in the Soul Beast Clan?"

At those words, Gu Yuena froze. Zi JI and the others froze too.

Gu Yuena's face instantly darkened.

Her expression turned frighteningly grim.

She looked at Di Tian, a tidal wave of fury flashing through her blue eyes.

"Di Tian, is this what you meant when you told me you would take good care of the Soul Beast Clan in my place after I fell asleep?"

"Very good. Very good. You've managed it so well, haven't you? So well that a rabbit fell in love and became the sole Dao companion of a God King of the Douluo God Realm, yet she isn't willing to say a single word on behalf of our Divine Realm."

"I never imagined that the biggest traitor to the beasts would be you, Di Tian, you muddleheaded incompetent!"

"Get down on your knees!"

Gu Yuena raised a hand and swept it through the air. A whip swiftly coalesced and lashed hard at Di Tian.

The blow sent Di Tian straight to his knees.

Never had she imagined that the biggest traitor to the beasts was Di Tian, who looked utterly loyal but was actually a muddleheaded, incompetent traitor.

No wonder Xiao Wu had no affection for their Soul Beast Clan. It turned out that their clan had never given Xiao Wu and her mother any protection.

No wonder the Soul Beasts were so divided. It turned out that Di Tian had never taught the young of their clan, or even given them protection.

"Very good. Very good."

"Remove one of your own legs. Today I'm having roast dragon meat."

"The Soul Beast Clan doesn't need you to manage it anymore. I'll do it myself," Gu Yuena said, grief-stricken.

In the past, if Gu Yuena had ordered Di Tian to remove one of his own legs, they would have done everything in their power to stop her.

But today, they said nothing more.

Di Tian didn't know what to say either.

He had just accused Xiao Wu of being the biggest traitor to the beasts, only to find that he was the root of it all.

Today, he finally understood just how badly he had neglected his duty.

He really was that muddleheaded and incompetent.

"Please, let me go. No one ever taught me what I was supposed to do for the Soul Beast Clan."

"The Soul Beast Clan never protected me either," Xiao Wu pleaded hastily.

It would have been better if Xiao Wu had said nothing. But the moment she spoke...

Gu Yuena truly exploded.

With a raise of her hand, surging divine power roared forth.

She cut one of Di Tian's legs clean off. "Today, we're eating Di Tian's roasted leg. Di Tian, you'll roast it yourself. If you don't roast it well, there's no need for you to keep your life."

"Quickly relocate the Soul Beasts who have gained intelligence to the Lake of Life. Bi Ji, you'll teach them."

"If you don't teach them well, next time we'll be eating roast goose."

"Xiong Jun, you'll take Di Tian's place and be responsible for protecting the young Soul Beasts. If anything happens to the cubs, I'll hold you accountable."

Xiong Jun said, "All right, my lord!"

"Yes, yes, my lord." Di Tian limped off to roast the dragon meat. He truly had nothing to say against Xiong Jun's reasoning; he couldn't refute it.

Before long, the fragrant roast dragon meat was brought out, and Xiao Wu was let down as well.

As compensation, Gu Yuena had someone give her a large piece of roast dragon meat.

Xiao Wu's head was still buzzing, her mind a haze.

This was so wild.

In an instant, she had gone from a traitor to the beasts who was about to be made into spicy rabbit head to a victim.

She even had a chance to eat roast dragon meat.

This was a dragon! When she was little, her mother had said dragons were beings of legend.

At that moment,

a Sky Screen News interface popped up in both the Douluo Continent section and the Teyvat section.

Sky Screen News: "Who would have thought the biggest traitor to the beasts was Di Tian?"

It had also broadcast the entire scene live.

Teyvat.

(Venti: Ehe, who would have thought there was someone in charge who was even more of a liability than me, the Anemo Archon who never does any real work?)

(Zhongli: Generally speaking, this Di Tian is indeed muddleheaded and incompetent.)

(Furina: Good thing this Di Tian isn't in our Fontaine. Otherwise, our Fontaine would really be done for.)

(Yae Miko: He managed to raise a member of his own clan who became the sole Dao companion of a God King of the Douluo God Realm, yet wouldn't say a single word for the Soul Beast Clan. His talent for management is who knows how many times more impressive than that country bumpkin of mine.)

(Kokomi: Put that way, I feel like the Electro Archon of old wasn't so bad after all!)

(Raiden Ei: Yae Miko, what do you mean by that?)

(Yae Miko: Ei, I'm praising you! Saying you're who knows how many times better than Di Tian.)

(Raiden Ei: Why do I feel like you're insulting me?)

(Yae Miko: You must have misunderstood. Come, I'll bring you some sweet dango, the latest light novels, and some desserts on top of that.)

(Raiden Ei: Then hurry up and bring them over.)
