At Sixteen, Dragon Dragon Agreed to Bear Him Cubs

"Pfft!"

Bi Ji could not help but laugh. She reached out with a slender finger and lightly tapped his forehead.

"Stop being so glib. As long as you heal my lord, the few of us are willing to do anything for you."

A roguish smile curled Lin Hai's lips.

"Anything? Including giving yourselves to me?"

Bi Ji smiled and turned to leave, tossing back a sentence.

"As long as my lord agrees, I have no objections."

When she reached the door, she seemed to remember something. She glanced back and blinked teasingly.

"But when it comes to that sort of thing, Zi Ji might be even more enthusiastic!" With that, she drifted away.

Lin Hai knew perfectly well that both Bi Ji and Zi Ji did indeed have favorable feelings toward him.

Bi Ji's affection mostly stemmed from the ultimate life aura bestowed upon him by the Flame Water Jade, along with their interactions over the years.

As for Zi Ji, those feelings had arisen when she witnessed Di Tian fight him yet remain helpless against him.

Neither had made it clear because they both knew he liked Gu Yuena. They did not dare place themselves on equal footing with their lord.

The class hierarchy in the soul beast world was even more severe than among humans.

Although the strong took everything, they did not know Lin Hai's true foundation and did not believe he could break through those classes and have all three of them.

It seems that to achieve this grand ambition, I'll have to wait until I possess God Level combat power!

As Lin Hai thought this, excitement surged within him. Life was supposed to be filled with goals worth pursuing.

Sure enough, Gu Yuena cultivated the modified Life Technique with incredible ease.

She possessed a divine body to begin with, her meridians fully connected and unobstructed. Her cultivation encountered no hindrances whatsoever.

Furthermore, the effects of Lin Hai's soul skills had been comprehensively enhanced. After several months of internal cultivation and external treatment, Gu Yuena's injuries had healed seventy to eighty percent.

Lin Hai gazed at that peerlessly beautiful face, unadorned with makeup, and a deep reluctance rose in his heart.

But he had to leave. Too many matters still awaited his verification.

He spoke seriously. "Little Dragon Cub, it's time for me to go."

Gu Yuena looked deeply into his eyes. Since they had met, her gaze had never been so intent.

"Do you want me to see you off?"

Lin Hai shook his head. "No need. In a few years at most, I'll come back for you."

She asked softly, "Come back for me?"

Lin Hai broke into a smile.

"Of course! I'll whisk you away and have you bear little dragon cubs for me!"

His smile immediately faded, and his tone turned solemn.

"Besides, didn't you want to change the fate of the soul beast race? Without me, how will you deal with Asura and the others in the future?"

She smiled.

The smile was relaxed, yet it carried a faint, barely perceptible ripple of emotion.

After hiding in the Lake of Life for endless years, it felt as though she truly had someone to rely on now.

A man had healed her injuries and was even willing to become an enemy of the entire Divine Realm for her.

After that smile, anticipation appeared in her eyes.

"I cannot save the soul beast race. If you can, then that will prove you are stronger than me. When that time comes..."

Her cheeks flushed slightly, and her voice softened.

"Then I... won't have the strength to resist. I'll bear them for you!"

Upon hearing that, Lin Hai felt immensely gratified. After several years together, he had finally warmed Little Dragon Cub's heart.

"It's a deal! Before we part, won't you leave me something to remember you by?"

He asked and asked again. When it came to shamelessness, Lin Hai was second to none.

Gu Yuena considered for a moment, then extended her jade-like hand.

Silver light gathered in her palm, condensing into a silver scale that shimmered with mysterious radiance—her reverse scale.

She tossed the reverse scale to Lin Hai.

Lin Hai naturally understood the significance of the item. Smiling knowingly, he returned a dashing blown kiss before turning and leaving without hesitation.

Gu Yuena alone remained behind, the tips of her ears turning crimson as she stood there in a daze.

The moment he left the cave dwelling, he saw several Fierce Beasts standing in a row, as though they had been waiting for a long time.

Just as Lin Hai was about to speak, all the Fierce Beasts bowed in unison, their voices shaking the forest.

"Thank you for your great kindness!"

No merit surpassed saving their lord...

Lin Hai hurried forward to help them up, but he had underestimated their determination to carry out the ceremony.

He applied a little force, yet they did not budge at all. He tried helping them up one by one, but it was the same every time.

Only when he reached Xiong Jun did the bear rise at a touch—only to immediately give another deep bow!

Lin Hai walked up and punched him.

"You idiot! Are you trying to send me straight to the grave?"

Xiong Jun scratched his huge head and replied in a foolish voice.

"Gratitude is gratitude! If you hit me, I still have to hit back!"

The instant he finished speaking, Xiong Jun let out a thunderous roar, and his body abruptly expanded!

A gigantic bear the size of a small mountain, dark gold all over with savage claws and fangs, appeared with a boom!

The violent blast of air sent the unprepared Fierce Beasts staggering backward!

"Xiong Jun!"

"Fuck..."

"Calling you an idiot does you no injustice! You really are fucking stupid!"

Other than Bi Ji, the Fierce Beasts either cursed or raged.

Judging from this, regardless of whether he won or lost against Lin Hai, he would inevitably suffer a brutal beating afterward.

Xiong Jun was foolish, but he was also a born battle maniac.

Ever since he had seen Di Tian unable to do anything to Lin Hai, he had been itching for a fight.

Of course, he was not actually stupid. Rules for a fight could be negotiated.

"Hai! No dodging, just a head-on clash! Do you dare?"

A dangerous curve rose on Lin Hai's lips.

"Didn't I say last time that you're not allowed to call me Little Lin, and you're not allowed to call me Hai either?"

Xiong Jun impatiently shook his head.

"Quit talking nonsense! Just tell me, do you dare or not?"

Lin Hai rolled his neck, battle intent rising in his eyes.

"There's nothing I, Lin Hai, don't dare to do!"

Xiong Jun opened his bloodthirsty maw and burst into earthshaking laughter.

"Good! You're far more straightforward than that Di Tian!"

He completely ignored Di Tian's face darkening at once.

A crimson blood shadow emerged behind Lin Hai, and his seventh soul ring suddenly lit up. "Martial Soul Avatar!"

He raised a hand and brushed it over the soul ring. A long sword engraved with profound Dao patterns and flowing with eerie crimson light appeared in his grasp.

Second form of the Martial Soul Avatar—Demon God Wielding Sword!

Sensing the killing intent and pressure within Lin Hai's martial soul, Xiong Jun's ferocity intensified.

With a furious roar, he swung his claws through the air, sending two condensed Soul Power claw strikes flying forth to test him.

Lin Hai flicked his wrist, and the Mercy Sword likewise unleashed two fierce arcs of sword qi.

The four streams of energy collided explosively in midair and annihilated one another.

"Dark Gold Dread Claw—"

The probing was over. It was time for the real thing! This was one of Xiong Jun's killing moves; even the more highly cultivated Myriad Demon King would not dare receive it head-on!

Yet Lin Hai's blood was boiling.

In his early years, his soul skills had mainly been used to strengthen his foundations. Even the skills he acquired later had mostly been for survival. Today, he could finally enjoy a proper head-on battle!

With that thought, he even gave up on trying to interrupt Xiong Jun's skill and directly unleashed his self-created sword move—

"Returning Wind Brushing Willow!"

This sword move was light and nimble, with layered attacks linked one after another and tricky, bizarre angles. It had originally been more suitable for taking the initiative.

But Lin Hai had sensed the strength of Xiong Jun's attack from those claw winds that tore through space. This move was enough to deal with it.

The two powerful attacks collided violently!

After consecutively shredding several streams of sword qi, the Dark Gold Dread Claw finally collapsed with a bang.

Yet one remaining streak of Lin Hai's sword light shot toward Xiong Jun like a venomous snake!

This fool had always relied on his thick hide and tough flesh. When he fought, he only attacked and never defended. How could he understand defensive soul skills?

Seeing the sword light strike, he could only hastily stir his Soul Power to shield his entire body.
