The core region of the Star Dou Great Forest was the most dangerous place in the entire forest. No soul master dared approach it.
But Mu Yu was different. With two Million Year Spirit Beasts, one Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, one Two Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast, and three gods—the Sea God, God of Space, and Asura God—by her side, even Di Tian would have to show her some respect, let alone those spirit beasts that were only a few tens of thousands of years old.
As she swaggered through the core region, she had already drawn the attention of the slumbering Silver Dragon King and Di Tian.
"Master, that human is no ordinary person."
Di Tian knelt on one knee before the Silver Dragon King.
"She carries traces of Asura's and the gods' power. That is what awakened me."
"Master, should I go meet her first?"
"She should be one of Asura's people. Be careful."
Di Tian nodded and turned toward Mu Yu.
On Mu Yu's side, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King quickly sensed Di Tian approaching.
"A spirit beast with strength no weaker than mine is approaching."
Mu Yu nodded. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be Di Tian.
"Can you beat him?"
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King thought for a moment.
"Probably not. But if Xi Ruo and I join forces, we should be evenly matched."
"Then there's no problem."
Just as she was about to keep walking, she ran into two people blocking her way.
The Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape stood in front of Mu Yu.
"Human, this is not a place you should be."
Mu Yu frowned in displeasure. "This isn't your home. What business is it of yours whether I come here or not?"
"Human, you—"
The Sky Azure Bull Python was about to lose his temper when the pressure released by the Demon Empress made his entire body tremble.
"How is this possible? You are..."
A flute appeared in Mu Yu's hand. She gently waved it before the two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.
Da Ming and Er Ming immediately remembered Mu Yu.
Da Ming swallowed back the curse that had nearly left his mouth and no longer dared stop Mu Yu.
Di Tian, who had been hiding nearby, was equally shocked. Though the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape were Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, they were already considered powerful beings among humans. Yet they actually feared a human...
Di Tian stepped out, and when the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape saw him, they immediately hid behind him.
"Beast King, this human entered the core region at will. We were incompetent and couldn't stop her..."
Di Tian waved his hand, signaling for them to leave.
Feeling the strength of the man before her, Mu Yu frowned at him.
"Who are you?"
Mu Yu had roughly guessed the man's identity. She only asked to confirm it.
"Heh, outsider, if anyone should be asking questions, it should be me asking you."
Mu Yu thought about it. That was true.
"Mu Yu, inheritor of the God of Space."
Di Tian revealed an expression of understanding, though he had not expected the visitor to be the inheritor of the God of Space rather than the inheritor of Asura God.
"What are you here for?"
"By my god's orders, I came to discuss something with the Dragon King. So I need to see her."
Di Tian looked Mu Yu up and down.
"Why should I believe you?"
"Believe it or not, that's up to you..."
Di Tian: ????
"Can you tell me who you are now?"
"Beast King, Di Tian."
So it really was Di Tian.
"I came this time because my god wants to cooperate with the Silver Dragon King."
"What if you intend to do something to my master?!"
Mu Yu: ...
"How can I make you believe me..."
"How about this? I'll deliver your message for you."
"Wait a moment. I'll ask him."
Mu Yu consulted Asura God. After thinking for a moment, Asura God said, "No. I must meet her in person."
Mu Yu withdrew from the Sea of Consciousness. "Sorry, but your suggestion won't work."
"Then you can leave."
Mu Yu suddenly had a bold idea. "If I capture you as a hostage, do you think the Silver Dragon King will come out?"
Di Tian froze for a moment, then burst out laughing. "You? Don't think I'll fear you just because you were chosen by a god."
—Ten minutes later—
Di Tian was tied to a tree with a rope, while Xi Ruo and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King stood guard on either side like protectors.
Di Tian said furiously, "I'm the Beast King! Do you believe I'll call for help?!"
At that moment, Xiao Mo and the Demon Empress walked out.
Xiao Mo: Go ahead and call.
Then, a cool female voice rang out.
"Di Tian, bring her to see me."
Hearing the Silver Dragon King's voice, Mu Yu waved at Xi Ruo. "Untie him."
"Please lead the way, Beast King."
Di Tian speechlessly shook his numb arms.
"Follow me."
Then the Silver Dragon King's voice sounded again. "I said bring her. The rest of the spirit beasts may not come."
"What if you bully my master while we're not there?!" Xiao Mo snapped toward the source of the Silver Dragon King's voice.
The Silver Dragon King said nothing. Mu Yu gently patted Xiao Mo's shoulder. "Wait here."
With that, she followed Di Tian deeper inside.
"I never expected you to have so many powerful spirit beasts, and to be able to command them."
"There are plenty more things you didn't expect."
Di Tian: ...
When they reached the depths of the forest, Mu Yu saw the Silver Dragon King's true form.
At that moment, Asura God's figure appeared behind her.
"Silver Dragon King, it's been a long time."
"Heh, Asura God King, I would rather we never met again."
"I came this time to discuss cooperation with you."
"Cooperation? Cooperation for what?"
"We join hands and kill the Golden Dragon King."
"Why should I help you?"
Search by book title didn't work? Try searching for the author instead. It may have simply been renamed!
"You may take what you need. My only goal is to kill him."
"Why should I believe you, Asura? Back then, you clearly wanted to kill me!"
"I..."
"..."
Asura God and the Silver Dragon King argued endlessly.
Mu Yu and Di Tian stood nearby like two children listening to their parents quarrel.
"Buddy, what do you spirit beasts eat?"
"Spirit beasts."
"Are they tasty?"
"They are."
"Then do you think you taste good?"
Di Tian was stunned by her question, then immediately put some distance between them.
"I don't taste good. I'm all bones."
With Asura here, he was genuinely afraid she would stew him in a pot the next second.
"Don't be nervous. It's not like I'd eat you. Of course, I'd wait until you become a Million Year Spirit Beast before dealing with you."
Mu Yu muttered the last half of the sentence under her breath, but Di Tian still heard it.
Di Tian: I will never reach a million years in this lifetime.
At last, Asura and the Silver Dragon King finished talking. It seemed they had reached some sort of agreement.
Asura walked to Mu Yu's side. "You seem quite interested in that little dragon."
"Why would I turn down a free eight-hundred-thousand-year spirit beast?"
Di Tian: ...
Asura waved his hand. "Handle the rest yourself."
Mu Yu nodded, her eyes sparkling.
"Lord Beast King~ It's time for you to send me back now, right?"
"Can't you go back by yourself?"
"I have no sense of direction. I get lost easily."
Di Tian: My ass you have no sense of direction. You're just eyeing me.
But Di Tian had no choice but to lead Mu Yu back.
After reuniting with Xi Ruo and the others, Mu Yu waved at Di Tian with ill intent.
"Goodbye, Beast King. I hope we get another chance to meet."
She did not actually covet Di Tian's soul ring or soul bone that much. She just wanted to experience calling a dragon like a rideshare.
But in Di Tian's eyes, she clearly wanted to skin him alive and tear out his bones.
Mu Yu looked reluctantly at Di Tian, sent all the Spirit Souls back, and flew away. Only then did Di Tian breathe a sigh of relief and return to the forest.
"You sent that child away?"
"Yes, Master."
"You dislike being around her?"
"She covets my soul ring and soul bone..."
"She will not harm you. You need not worry."
"Mm."
Di Tian did not understand why his master was telling him this. In any case, they would never cross paths again.
"You may need to leave the Star Dou Great Forest for a while."
"What does Master need me to do?"
Wait, leave the Star Dou Great Forest? Di Tian suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Follow her."
"..."
Wonderful. Enemies always met on narrow roads. Di Tian could not disobey his master's command, so he could only agree.
Di Tian: My Bi Ji, Zi JI! My Blue Butterfly! I'm leaving X﹏X You must miss me X﹏X
Mu Yu casually found an inn to rest in.
Early the next morning, Mu Yu fell silent when she saw Di Tian standing outside her door with a face full of "joy."
"What is Lord Beast King doing here?"
"Stop playing dumb. Of course, Asura God had my master send me to your side."
"Asura, you wonderful person!"
Mu Yu jumped up excitedly.
Di Tian: "..."
"Beast King, don't worry. Follow me, and I guarantee you'll eat and drink well."
"Hmph, I don't—"
Before Di Tian could finish saying the word "believe," Mu Yu forced him to experience calling a dragon like a rideshare and arrived in Spirit City.
Looking at the wide variety of snack stalls and restaurants lining the streets, Mu Yu grandly waved her hand. "Eat whatever you want. I'm paying."
The Spirit Souls immediately swarmed out to eat.
Holding a bowl of spicy rabbit heads, Di Tian excitedly said the word "believe" that he had never managed to say before.
Sure enough, there was nothing a bowl of spicy rabbit heads could not solve. If there was, then two bowls would do...
After finishing the feast, Di Tian stared at the long menu and fell into deep thought. How had he eaten so much?! Human food was just too! Damn! Delicious!
Di Tian looked awkwardly at Mu Yu, as if asking what they should do.
"Miss, are you together?"
The waiter asked cautiously, afraid that the man would run off without paying after eating so much...
Mu Yu sighed. "Take the bill to the Elder Hall for reimbursement. Tell them Second Miss Mu Yu of Spirit Hall has no money and sent you."
Mu Yu decided to leave this matter to the Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo, whom she had not seen in a long time. Last time, she had given Gui Mei and Yue Guan Immortal Herbs. Now it was time for them to help her out.
The clerk hurriedly nodded. People from Spirit Hall were not to be provoked...
After Mu Yu left, the clerk carried a long list of dishes to the Elder Hall.
Chrysanthemum Douluo: ...
Ghost Douluo: ...?
A group of elders: 6
Several elders pooled their money and paid the clerk. Then Chrysanthemum Douluo took the bill to Bibi Dong for reimbursement.
Bibi Dong: ?
Helplessly, she told the Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo to get the money from Spirit Hall's finance department.
That little girl really knew how to make reasonable use of her authority.
It was only a little money. She did not care, and as for the Worship Hall elders... naturally, they would not care either.
The next day, Qian Daoliu stared at the deduction of one thousand Gold Soul Coins and fell into deep thought.
Mu Yu brought Di Tian to the Worship Hall.
"When we go in, you'd better not say anything. Otherwise, my grandpas might use you to make a spirit ring for me... You'd also better hide your soul beast aura. Everyone inside is a Titled Douluo above rank ninety-five."
Di Tian fell silent. This woman seemed to have quite the background...
How could he not know Spirit Hall?
