"This seemed a little inappropriate." Di Tian frowned, speaking somewhat unwillingly.

In the Star Dou Forest, everyone knew that Di Tian liked Bi Ji. One was the most beautiful woman in the Star Dou Forest, while the other was its strongest expert. They were quite a fitting pair.

As for the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yue Na, in order to evade the God Realm's pursuit, she had not hesitated to disperse most of her divine power and seal her cultivation. Although she was powerful, she was basically unable to use her own strength. The moment she did, she would draw the God Realm's attention.

Back then, the Dragon God had wreaked havoc in the God Realm and was split in two by the Asura God. One half became the Golden Dragon King, while the other became the Silver Dragon King. The Golden Dragon King was now suppressed in the God Realm. She had managed to escape.

"There is no need to say more. No one but Bi Ji is qualified for this task." Gu Yue Na's cool voice brooked no doubt.

"Yes, Master." Di Tian nodded. When it came to major matters of right and wrong, any romantic attachment could be cast aside. Having lived for eight hundred thousand years, he was not someone who failed to understand reason.

Bi Ji's true form was an Emerald Swan. She possessed powerful Life Force, and in terms of healing, no Soul Beast could compare to her. However, the Emerald Swan clan was much like the Ice Silkworm clan: their vitality was extremely fragile, and they possessed almost no combat strength.

Yet, as powerful Soul Beasts famed for their healing abilities, they had always maintained excellent relations with the other races in the Soul Beast World.

And as an Emerald Swan with more than five hundred thousand years of cultivation, Bi Ji had always been sought after by many Fierce Beasts in the core region of the Star Dou Forest. It could be said that nearly every powerful male Soul Beast here had feelings for Bi Ji.

"Sister Nana, how about I go?" At that moment, a crisp, pleasant voice rang out.

The speaker was a tiny Soul Beast. She was the only Soul Beast here still in Beast Form. Even more astonishingly, she possessed only a thousand years of cultivation, yet she was able to remain among Beast Kings with cultivation of two or three hundred thousand years.

It was a Soul Beast whose body was not particularly large, only around two meters long and roughly eight feet at the shoulder. In the Star Dou Forest, where Soul Beasts were generally enormous, she did not appear especially large.

Yet her entire body was covered in Golden Fur, and she looked like translucent crystal, filled with an unusual texture. Her overall form resembled a lion's, but she had Dragon-like Claws, each dragon claw stepping upon a cluster of Golden Flame. Her mouth was also somewhat longer than that of lion-type Soul Beasts. Beneath her fur seemed to be dense Golden Scales. Besides her normal pair of eyes, she actually possessed a Third Eye, which radiated boundless auspicious energy.

An Ancient Auspicious Beast—wherever one existed, the growth speed of all Soul Beasts in that habitat would double, while the chances of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts breaking through after reaching a bottleneck would also double.

Such an ability was practically heaven-defying! It made it virtually impossible for any Soul Beast to attack her. They even had to cherish her like a treasure.

"No." Before Gu Yue Na could speak, all the Fierce Beasts refused in unison.

Their Star Dou Forest had only produced one Auspicious Beast in a hundred thousand years. If anything happened to her, it might even affect the Star Dou Forest's future development.

"Fine, then I won't go." The Auspicious Beast spoke somewhat aggrievedly. Although her status in the Star Dou Forest was extraordinary, she was also heavily restricted. Since her birth, she had never left the Inner Perimeter of the Star Dou Forest. Naturally, she was somewhat curious about the human world.

"Enough. This mission will be entrusted to Bi Ji." After a brief pause, Gu Yue Na made the final decision.

"Alright, alright, you may all leave now. Bi Ji, stay behind," Gu Yue Na said softly.

"Yes." The Fierce Beasts answered respectfully before swiftly leaving the great hall.

After the many Fierce Beasts had left, Gu Yue Na looked at Bi Ji. "You should know what to do, right?"

"I know." Hearing Gu Yue Na's words, Bi Ji gritted her teeth.

"Good. This is one of my Dragon Scales. You can use it to find him. Then, simply stay by his side," Gu Yue Na said calmly.

As she spoke, she took out a silver-white scale from her robes. Looking at it, Gu Yue Na's face flushed slightly, but Bi Ji, who had lowered her head, did not notice Gu Yue Na's unusual reaction.

"Yes, Master." Bi Ji respectfully accepted the scale and placed it in an exquisite box.

"Then prepare to depart." Gu Yue Na said calmly, "Your cultivation exceeds five hundred thousand years. As long as you deliberately conceal yourself, no one below a powerful Titled Douluo above Rank 95 will be able to discover you." Gu Yue Na considered it for a moment before speaking.

Her gaze gradually withdrew as Bi Ji left, and she let out a soft sigh.

"Ah... I hope I have not made the wrong choice."

After saying that, her clothes fell away, revealing a flawless, perfect body to the air.

Her jade-like, immaculate skin seemed even more lustrous beneath the radiance of the silver-white hall. However, upon that snow-white skin was a faintly red wound.

Clearly, this was where her Dragon Scale had fallen off.
