She Did All My Work!

What did she just see?!

Di Tian was eating at the same table as two women. The Black Robed Woman was one thing—she was still sitting fairly far from him—but what was with that woman in the Sky Blue Dress?!

She was pressed so intimately close to him, even peeling shrimp for him. Was she going to feed him bite by bite next?

She was doing all my work!

Of course, it was not that she objected to Di Tian taking several more wives, just as she would not object to having herself on his left and Bi Ji on his right.

As the Beast God and leader of the soul beast race, Di Tian ought to have multiple wives. Moreover, he was one of the Dragon Race's few remaining survivors and bore the duty of ensuring its continued prosperity.

What enraged Zi Ji was that she had clearly been there first. She had been with Di Tian since they were True Dragon Eggs, and as fellow pure-blooded True Dragons, she should have been the number one First Wife!

Only Bi Ji was qualified to compete with her. No, Bi Ji could not either! Between her and Bi Ji, she had still come first.

In her eyes, this Little Vixen who had appeared out of nowhere at Di Tian's side was an opportunist taking advantage of her and Bi Ji being away from him to seize her position.

As she fumed in distraction, waves of abrupt spatial fluctuations rippled around her.

Zi Ji could track Di Tian by scent, so how could Di Tian possibly fail to notice her?

Faced with that familiar spatial fluctuation, Zi Ji showed neither surprise nor caution. She stepped into it and vanished.

Under ordinary circumstances, the appearance of an incomparably beautiful purple-haired woman on a Bustling Street would have drawn countless eyes and an exceptionally high rate of heads turning.

Yet not only did no one gather to watch, no one even noticed the disturbed space. By the time she completely disappeared, she had left no trace in Heaven and Earth.

When Zi Ji appeared again, she was already in the Small Canteen on the top floor of the building.

The instant she appeared, her curvaceous body moved like a swimming dragon as she slipped into Di Tian's broad embrace and sat on his thigh.

Her slender jade fingers naturally reached toward Di Tian's solid chest, her fingertips softly drawing little circles as she said with half coquettishness and half jealousy, "Am I here at the wrong time?"

"No."

"You came at exactly the right time."

Di Tian truly was not saying that merely to placate Zi Ji. The plan to forge Four-Word Battle Armor and God-level Mechas for the ferocious beasts had been put on the agenda, so he would inevitably need to contact a few "former colleagues." The most suitable people to contact first were naturally Zi Ji and Bi Ji.

But to be fair, Zi Ji really was outrageously curvy. Unlike Xue Ling's softness, hers was packed with elasticity—a devilish figure deadly enough to shorten one's lifespan.

Zi Ji took the opportunity to turn sideways and lie in Di Tian's arms, rubbing her cheek against him like a kitten.

"Ahem!"

The Demon Empress gave a light cough, rose to her feet, and took her leave. "I'll be going first."

Her words were brief and her actions swift. With a flick of her black robe, she covered her face and departed, not giving Di Tian the chance to ask her to stay.

It was as though she feared an even more erotic scene might unfold next. If Di Tian got carried away and pulled Xue Ling over, saying that sharing joy was better than enjoying it alone, then leaving afterward would be awkward.

A crafty smile curled across Zi Ji's lips. The bystander had been cleared away, and now all that remained was...

Just then, Xue Ling suddenly spoke. "Sister, you're Zi Ji, the Hell Demon Dragon King, right?"

"Di Tian mentioned me to you?"

"No, Tai Tan told me about several famous ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest."

"Tai Tan? Who's Tai Tan?"

Only then did the puzzled Zi Ji look directly at Xue Ling for the first time. Until now, her gaze had remained fixed on Di Tian without ever shifting away.

But the moment she looked, her beautiful eyes flew wide open, and she was struck speechless with shock.

"Snow Empress?!"

However, she quickly came to her senses. The woman before her, who resembled the Snow Empress ninety-nine percent, could not possibly be the Snow Empress.

The true Snow Empress was as proud as a cold plum blossom in the snow. She would never take the initiative to peel shrimp for someone, even if that person was Di Tian.

As Zi Ji was confused, Di Tian spoke up at just the right moment to explain.

"Her name is Xue Ling. Like the Snow Empress of old, she was condensed from the Power of Heaven and Earth in the Far North Land—an Ice and Snow Elf born of heaven and nurtured by earth."

"Honestly, when I first saw Xue Ling in the Far North Land, I did not realize it either."

"And she hates it most when people call her the Snow Empress."

"Ha ha~"

"Look at you. She happily greeted you, and you went and made her angry."

Zi Ji shot a resentful glare at the grinning Di Tian, as if saying, You deliberately didn't tell me beforehand just so you could laugh at me, didn't you?

When she turned to look at Xue Ling, she indeed found her pouting with an innocent, angry expression.

"Um, Xue... Ling, I'm sorry."

The moment Zi Ji apologized, Xue Ling immediately went from angry to delighted, and the childish pout vanished without a trace.

"Mm-hm~"

Anyone who did not treat her as a substitute for the Snow Empress was a good person. Di Tian was a good person, and Sister Zi Ji was a good person too.

"Red Jade Shrimp for Sister Zi Ji." As she spoke, she peeled a Red Jade Shrimp and held the crystal-clear shrimp meat to Zi Ji's lips.

Zi Ji's mind went blank for a moment, and an inexplicable, strange feeling arose within her.

What was with this feeling of being fed?!

For a moment, she even forgot her original purpose. She had come to reclaim her position as First Wife from Xue Ling!

Her bold, imposing campaign to seize the position was dissolved into nothing by a meal of feeding and being fed.

After the meal, Zi Ji had lost the sharp momentum she had possessed when she first arrived to set the First Wife position right. She even seemed a little afraid to meet Di Tian's eyes.

At last, Di Tian spoke first. "There's nothing between us that can't be said plainly."

Beside them, Xue Ling propped her fragrant cheek in her hand, moving a lollipop back and forth at her cherry lips. She looked at Di Tian, then at Zi Ji, before suddenly speaking.

"Sister Zi Ji, should I step aside for a moment?"

"No, no, that won't be necessary!" Zi Ji waved her hands repeatedly.

"Since Di Tian trusts you, and you call me sister, there's no reason for you to avoid this."

Following those words, Zi Ji finally opened up about what she had hesitated to say.

"Di Tian... I'm sorry."

"On the day you and our lord parted ways, I wasn't able to leave with you."

"Though our lord's tremendous authority, accumulated over countless years, was indeed part of the reason back then, it accounted for only a small part. I had my own thoughts as well."

"You insisted on leaving to roam the world, and that could be said to have offended our lord. Once she recovered her strength at her peak, she might not have let the matter go."

"I went to assist our lord in accomplishing the great cause of reviving the soul beasts, so that in consideration of that contribution and her old feelings for you, she could allow us to leave safely."

"Afterward, I could accompany you in roaming the world, traversing Thousands of Mountains and Rivers, and exploring the wonders of the universe."

When she finished, the air fell silent for two seconds. A pin dropping could have been heard, while Zi Ji's heart pounded wildly.

It was as if a lively Chibi Dragon Person inside her heart were tossing and turning in anxious unease, muttering softly, Anything is fine, but say something, at least!
