Xiao Wu's Troubled Heart; Fatty Goes Missing!

Gu Yuena's gaze, filled with an inexplicable meaning, fell upon Bi Ji and Zi JI, causing the two women to feel a jolt of unease.

Although they seem a little dim-witted, they are definitely not stupid.

Now, their Soul Beast Clan is clearly asking Zhou Chen for more breeding and Proliferator. Unless they turn hostile and resort to force, they have no choice but to negotiate with Zhou Chen.

The essence of negotiation is the exchange of interests.

To put it bluntly, the Soul Beast Clan needs to meet Zhou Chen 'Zhou Chen conditions and offer him benefits in order to successfully negotiate.

At this moment, Gu Yuena suddenly mentioned that Zhou Chen's weakness was his lust for beautiful women, and she looked at the two of them with a meaningful gaze...

The meaning is quite clear.

Bi Ji's true form, the Emerald Swan, is already a remarkably beautiful creature, and her human form is even more breathtakingly beautiful, possessing an elegant and noble air that captivates all beings.

For a long time, Bi Ji has been recognized as the most beautiful woman in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Although Zi JI's true form is the Hell Demon Dragon King, her human form is also extremely beautiful. While she may not be as stunning as Bi Ji, she is no less beautiful than Zhou Chen's other girlfriends.

Gu Yuena clearly intended to give Zhou Chen these two beautiful women as a benefit, or rather, a gift, in exchange for the Soul Beast Breeding Amplifier!

Upon realizing this, Bi Ji and Zi JI exchanged a glance, almost bursting into tears.

At this moment, Di Tian, Ten Thousand Demons King, and other Ferocious Beast also realized what was going on, and their expressions turned quite ugly.

Only the simple-minded Xiong Jun was still clueless. He looked up at Gu Yuena and asked in a carefree manner, "Master, just tell me what to do. What's the use of talking about Zhou Chen's weaknesses? I, Old Xiong, don't understand."

Hearing Xiong Jun's words, Gu Yuena no longer concealed her feelings and directly stated, "My meaning is very simple. Since Zhou Chen likes beautiful women, let's cater to his tastes. Bi Ji and Zi JI, you two are recognized beauties in my Star Dou Great Forest. As long as you step forward and accompany Zhou Chen, I'm sure he won't refuse."

After a pause, Gu Yuena continued, "At that time, we can take the opportunity to make demands and obtain a few more Proliferator to strengthen the foundation of our Soul Beast Clan."

"My lord, I object!"

Di Tian's face was so gloomy it was almost dripping with water, and he felt extremely aggrieved.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena's eyes instantly sharpened, while the other Ferocious Beast were utterly embarrassed.

Because they all knew that Di Tian liked Bi Ji.

For tens of thousands of years, Di Tian has been pursuing Bi Ji. Although their relationship has not yet reached a happy ending, it has begun to take shape.

At the very least, Bi Ji's attitude towards Di Tian has changed from indifference at the beginning to gentleness now.

As for Zi JI, Di Tian also had designs on her. After all, they were both Dragon Clan, and even for the sake of offspring and bloodlines, their union would be beneficial.

But it is precisely because Di Tian is two-timing, pursuing Bi Ji and Zi JI at the same time, that he has not yet won over either of them.

Because both women are top-tier experts with hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation, they are proud and arrogant and unwilling to share their partners with others.

Now, according to Gu Yuena's idea, Di Tian won't get any of them; Bi Ji and Zi JI will both have to become Zhou Chen's maids.

How could Di Tian not be frustrated? How could he not be angry?

If Gu Yuena weren't his master, Di Tian would probably have already turned against him by now.

Seeing Di Tian's gloomy and angry expression, Gu Yuena was also very angry. Her subordinate was disobedient and even contradicted her in public, making her feel embarrassed.

But soon, Gu Yuena's gaze softened again, and she did not blame Di Tian.

After all, Di Tian had always been loyal to her, and his anger this time was not without reason. It would be unbearable for any male to see the woman he had pursued so desperately fall into the hands of another.

However, no matter how angry or unwilling Di Tian was, she would never change her mind for the sake of the great cause of the Soul Beast Clan and to prevent the Soul Beast Clan from being wiped out by humans!

"Alas, Di Tian, there's nothing we can do about it. We don't have any other bargaining chips to exchange with Zhou Chen."

Gu Yuena sighed, looked at Di Tian, and earnestly advised, "Di Tian, you are the Beast God, you should prioritize the greater good. For the sake of the survival and reproduction of the Soul Beast Clan, please do not obstruct this."

Upon hearing this, Di Tian's face turned pale and then red, clearly showing his extreme resentment.

His eyes hardened, and he cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Gu Yuena, gritting his teeth as he said, "My lord, it's not that I want to stop you, but this concerns the dignity of our Soul Beast Clan!"

"How can the strongest of our Soul Beast Clan serve a human in such a humiliating way? Please allow me to take action; I will definitely capture Zhou Chen and force him to hand over the Soul Beast Amplifier!"

Upon hearing this, several Ferocious Beast nearby, including Xiong Jun and Scarlet King, also started shouting, wanting to solve the problem directly with violence.

Bi Ji and Zi JI were not only pursued by Di Tian; Xiong Jun and the others were also infatuated with the two women. However, with Di Tian in front of them, they dared not and were unwilling to compete with Di Tian, and could only keep their feelings of liking and love in their hearts.

But now, their goddess is going to be a human boy's maid. How can they accept this?

If this is tolerable, what is intolerable?

Seeing her subordinates making a ruckus, Gu Yuena coldly glanced at them and released immense divine pressure, immediately silencing them.

Then, Gu Yuena looked directly at Di Tian and said calmly, "Di Tian, I remember you were almost killed by Zhou Chen in a direct confrontation just now. You were no match for him, and now you're claiming you can capture him? That's utter nonsense!"

Upon hearing this, Di Tian immediately looked embarrassed. His lips moved slightly, but he couldn't utter a single word and was unable to defend himself.

Because what Gu Yuena said was entirely the truth.

It was just beaten to a pulp by Zhou Chen. If Zhou Chen hadn't spared its life, it wouldn't even have had the chance to talk nonsense here, let alone use force.

Unless two or three Ferocious Beast attack together, or unless Gu Yuena, a First-Level Main God, personally intervenes, Zhou Chen cannot be defeated.

It alone has no chance.

Seeing that Di Tian was speechless after being rebuked, Gu Yuena sighed inwardly. How could she not want to use force to solve the problem?

It's just that they can't or dare not do it.

Whether it was the Equality Contract that could even bind her, First-Level God, or the powerful Soul Beast amplifier, both made Gu Yuena quite wary.

These artifacts represent that Zhou Chen has a very powerful force behind him!

This force is probably not from the Douluo God Realm, but it is no less powerful than the Douluo God Realm, and may even be more powerful!

The Soul Beast Clan is now weak, and its only strength is her, a First-Level God. To provoke such a mysterious and unpredictable force is tantamount to courting death.

However, Gu Yuena could not say these words to Di Tian and the others.

"My mind is made up, so you shouldn't object."

Gu Yuena glanced coldly at Di Tian, then looked at Bi Ji and Zi JI, sighed again, and said in Youyou voice, "Bi Ji, Zi JI, the great cause of our Soul Beast Clan is of utmost importance. I hope you... Alas, I'm sorry for you."

As she spoke, Gu Yuena's expression darkened; of course, she couldn't feel good about making such a decision.

Seeing this, a hint of sadness flashed in Bi Ji's eyes, who had been silent all along, but then she became resolute.

"My lord, I understand your feelings. I will definitely help the Soul Beast Clan obtain more Soul Beast Amplifiers."

Bi Ji looked directly at Gu Yuena and said firmly.

She was kind-hearted and had been using her healing abilities to save the Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest for tens of thousands of years. Therefore, she was the most strategic among the major Ferocious Beast.

Therefore, she was willing to sacrifice herself for the sake of the Soul Beast Clan.

Seeing that Bi Ji had already expressed her opinion, Zi JI nodded in agreement. She forced a smile and said, "Zhou Chen looks very handsome, and he was willing to travel all the way to the Star Dou Great Forest to negotiate with the Lord for a woman, regardless of the dangers. Obviously, he treats his woman very well. Following him might bring happiness."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena and Bi Ji both nodded subconsciously, their eyes turning to Yu Tianmeng was still unconscious.

Zhou Chen was willing to fight the Beast God Di Tian for the sake of a weak human woman, even at the cost of a divine artifact.

For women, such a man is quite appealing, even if they are not of the same race as Zhou Chen.

However, Zi JI's words sounded extremely harsh to Di Tian, making him feel very uncomfortable.

But now, it can no longer object.

"Alright, Bi Ji, Zi JI, get ready and we'll move out in a day."

Gu Yuena said in an unquestionable manner.

After saying that, she waved her hand, signaling the Ferocious Beast to step back.

After the Ferocious Beast retreated, Gu Yuena suddenly let out a long sigh and muttered to herself, "The success or failure of the Soul Beast Clan hinges on this..."

On the shore of the Lake of Life.

It was dawn, and the rising sun dispelled the darkness, slowly ascending from the horizon.

After a night of fierce fighting and negotiations, Zhou Chen and his men were quite exhausted and even a little hungry. Therefore, they set up a temporary camp next to the Lake of Life.

The group set up several large camping tents and built two campfires in the center of the campsite.

Above the campfire, two racks were set up, each with a copper pot hanging on it. The pots were filled with water, on which vegetables, mushrooms, and beef and mutton were being cooked.

That's right, Zhou Chen and the others are going to have Hotpot.

Originally, he planned to slaughter a Soul Beast and roast it for meat. But since they were now in the core territory of the Soul Beast Clan, he had to give Gu Yuena and Xiao Wu some face, so he changed his plans to eat Hotpot.

At this moment, Zhou Chen, Yu Tianling, Meng Yiran, and Ning Rongrong's family sat together around a campfire.

Tang San, on the other hand, sat around another campfire with the couple Peerless Dragon Serpent.

The Peerless Dragon Serpent couple had been seriously injured and unconscious, but just before the Ferocious Beast returned to the bottom of the lake, Zhou Chen shamelessly asked the Emerald Swan, Bi Ji, to heal them.

"Brother Zhou Chen, Sister Xiao Wu has been all alone all the time. Should we go and try to persuade her?"

Ning Rongrong pointed to a spot not far away, where Xiao Wu was sitting blankly by the lake, with the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python beside her.

Previously, Xiao Wu's identity Soul Beast was exposed, so after Gu Yuena and the other Ferocious Beast returned to the bottom of the lake, Xiao Wu was too embarrassed to come over again and stayed by the side with a pitiful expression.

Tang San originally wanted to persuade Xiao Wu, to tell her that he didn't care about her Soul Beast identity and still treated her as his younger sister.

However, the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape wouldn't let him get close to Xiao Wu at all; they remained hostile towards humans.

Xiao Wu was in a state of utter confusion and couldn't hear a single word.

She didn't know how to face Tang San, Zhou Chen, and Ning Rongrong, and she didn't know what to do in the future.

Seeing Xiao Wu sitting alone by the lake looking sad, Zhou Chen frowned and wanted to go over and offer some words of comfort.

However, after thinking it over, Zhou Chen still didn't go over. Based on his knowledge of psychology, he figured Xiao Wu was currently in a state of shock and couldn't recover her mood in a short time, so any advice he offered would be futile.

It's only effective to persuade Xiao Wu gently once she has calmed down a bit.

Therefore, Zhou Chen shook his head and said, "Never mind, let's wait a bit."

"Oh."

Ning Rongrong nodded obediently, picked up her small bowl and chopsticks, and was about to take a slice of meat from the copper pot when she suddenly remembered something and said with some worry, "By the way, Brother Zhou Chen, why haven't Teacher Zhao and Ma Hongjun arrived yet? It's already past midnight!"

In their pursuit of the Titan Giant Ape, they had to run at full speed, leaving behind the seriously injured Zhao Wuji, the unconscious Oscar, and Ma Hongjun.

At least five hours have passed now; Zhao Wuji and the others should have crawled over by now.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen sensed something was wrong and his heart skipped a beat.

Could something have happened to Zhao Wuji and the others?

Although he wasn't very close to Zhao Wuji and the others, they were from the Shrek Academy after all, so he couldn't just sit idly by.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chen immediately stood up and said to Ning Rongrong and the other two women beside him, "I'll go find them. Rong Rong, you all wait here."

"Brother-in-law, you'd better hurry back, or the mutton in the Hotpot will get overcooked and won't taste good."

Yu Tianling said gently from the side.

"Finding someone is the priority."

Meng Yiran was sensible enough to know that people were more important than Hotpot.

"Um."

Zhou Chen nodded, and with a thought, a cloud of mist appeared beneath his feet.

The next moment, the pure white clouds trailed a long tail of flame as they shot out in the direction they had come from.

With the aid of his Heavenly Vision Earthly Hearing Technique, and from his high vantage point overlooking the sky, Zhou Chen quickly located the whereabouts of Zhao Wuji and the others!

Then, he was shocked!

On the ground, Zhao Wuji was leaning against a large tree, coughing up blood. His two arms were twisted in a strange way, clearly broken.

Zhou Chen remembered that Zhao Wuji's arms were not broken even after he fought the Titan Giant Ape.

Who broke his arm? Could it have been some unknown Soul Beast that happened to be passing by?

Zhao Wuji kept conjuring sausages that could heal injuries and restore strength Oscar Zhao Wuji, feeding them to him.

As for Ma Hongjun, he has disappeared!

This is also what surprised Zhou Chen!

"Zhou Chen?"

At this moment, Zhao Wuji on the ground looked up and saw Zhou Chen in the sky. He suddenly burst into tears, crying out in sorrow and anger, "Zhou Chen, Ma Hongjun has been captured by a group of Black-Robed Man!!"
