Ye Liangchen had successfully obtained his first soul ring. Lan Xiao Die and her sister had specially caught a wild rabbit and a pheasant in the forest, intending to prepare a few extra dishes to celebrate for the little guy.

Ye Liangchen had just finished bathing in the small river, washing away the sweat on his body and feeling incomparably refreshed.

Not far away, Su Lin washed the clothes he had changed out of while keeping watch over the little guy. As a responsible teacher, she had to ensure Ye Liangchen's safety.

"Teacher Su Lin! I need to get dressed. Please turn around first!" Ye Liangchen called out to Su Lin.

"Fine! I won't look."

Su Lin turned around, finding it rather amusing. He was so young—what was there to be embarrassed about? So what if his teacher saw? It wasn't like she would eat him.

Ye Liangchen climbed out of the water and quickly put on his clothes. Though he was only a six-year-old child now, he still felt uncomfortable about being seen naked by this woman.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

At that moment, two figures silently appeared on the riverbank, startling both Ye Liangchen and Su Lin.

The newcomers were a young man and woman, and the auras they emitted were immensely powerful. They appeared to be Titled Douluo-level experts.

"Who are you?" Su Lin immediately became extremely nervous and stepped in front of Ye Liangchen.

"Don't worry. We mean no harm."

The woman smiled sweetly and studied Ye Liangchen for a moment before exchanging a nod with the black-clad man.

Ye Liangchen took a careful look at them. The man was extremely tall, dressed in a black robe, with golden light gleaming in his eyes. He had a cold, handsome appearance.

The woman, meanwhile, was breathtakingly beautiful. Her emerald-green hair cascaded down her back, and her green dress perfectly accentuated her curvaceous figure. Her ample, pale breasts were especially striking; she was a peerless beauty.

A green-haired woman in a green dress? A black-clad man? Could these two be Bi Ji and Di Tian?

That had to be it! In the Star Dou Forest, with appearances like theirs, there could be no one else.

Ye Liangchen's mind raced. What did these two great Fierce Beasts want with him?

"Kid, what's your name?" the black-clad man asked Ye Liangchen calmly.

"Senior, my name is Ye Liangchen."

If this man chose to attack, he would have no chance of survival anyway, so Ye Liangchen simply gave his name openly.

"Ye Liangchen? Are your parents Ye Feng and Liu Ru Yan?" Di Tian asked curiously.

In the great battle in the Star Dou Forest six years ago, the Ye Feng Couple had fought Tang Hao. Just as Tang Hao was about to be unable to hold on any longer, he had suddenly been possessed by Asura God's Power and killed the Ye Feng Couple instead.

The Silver Dragon King had been awakened by Asura God's Power at the time, so she had sent Di Tian and the others to observe in secret.

"Senior, you knew my parents?" Ye Liangchen was stunned beyond belief. This was far too incredible.

"Your parents were famous back then. Countless people across the continent knew of them, and naturally, so did we. We witnessed their battle against that Titled Douluo."

"Your parents were highly talented and very powerful. With their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they could have defeated that Titled Douluo. But in the end, the Asura God interfered, using divine power to strengthen that Titled Douluo, which led to your parents' deaths."

"Before your parents self-destructed, they sent a blue-haired woman away. She is the one over there cooking."

Di Tian revealed the matter of the god's intervention so that Ye Liangchen would know that his enemy was the Asura God.

The enemy of one's enemy was a friend. These Fierce Beasts had lived for hundreds of thousands of years and were all shrewd enough to understand such logic.

Ye Liangchen saw straight through Di Tian's calculations. Didn't they just want to use his hand to get rid of the Asura God? It seemed the Silver Dragon King wanted him to avenge her, but that was not impossible—as long as that female dragon helped him grow stronger first.

"A god killed my parents? And what exactly is a god?"

Ye Liangchen had only guessed that the Asura God had intervened, but he could not say so. He could only pretend to be utterly confused and ask curiously.

"Child, gods are powerful beings who stand above all living creatures. They are stronger than Titled Douluo. Once you become stronger in the future, you can learn about these matters then." Seeing Ye Liangchen's innocent gaze, Bi Ji felt sorry for the little guy.

The sudden appearance of two unfamiliar experts also put Lan Xiao Die and her sister on alert, and the two immediately flew over.

"Who are you two seniors?"

Lan Xiao Die respectfully asked Di Tian and Bi Ji. The aura they gave off was extraordinarily powerful; they were definitely Titled Douluo-level experts.

"Don't worry. We mean no harm."

"My name is Bi Ji, and this is Di Tian. As for our identities, we will not tell you for now. You will understand in the future."

Bi Ji introduced them to Lan Xiao Die, but she did not reveal that they were Fierce Beasts for fear of frightening them.

Bi Ji's true form was an Emerald Swan nearly six hundred thousand years old. After undergoing Humanoid Transformation, she had become a stunning beauty with a gentle, amiable temperament.

"Little friend, come. Let me take a look at you."

Bi Ji smiled sweetly as she walked over to Ye Liangchen. Seeing how adorable he looked, she could not help reaching out to pat the little guy on the head.

"Beautiful big sister, what did you come to see me for?"

Though Ye Liangchen was somewhat afraid of a powerful Fierce Beast like her, he still forced himself to greet her.

"Pfft... What a sweet talker." Bi Ji laughed at the little guy calling her a beautiful big sister.

"Kid, I'll give you a treasure. If you ever need help, directly use Soul Power to activate the restriction on this scale. Then I will be able to rush over and help you resolve the problem."

"Kid, work hard. Your enemies in the future will be very powerful."

Di Tian took out the silvery-white scale and handed it to Ye Liangchen, urging him to cultivate diligently.

"Take good care of this little guy. His future achievements will be limitless." Di Tian said this to Lan Xiao Die and her sister before leaving the area.

"Even if you hadn't said so, we would still do everything in our power to protect him as he grew up. Little Chen is like our own child." Seeing that they meant no harm, the Lan Xiao Die sisters finally let out a sigh of relief.

Di Tian had originally wanted to tell Ye Liangchen about the Dragon God War and the God Realm, but the little guy was only six years old. It was too soon. He would wait for another opportunity in the future.

"Little one, work hard! Big Sister thinks highly of you!" Bi Ji kissed Ye Liangchen on the cheek, then drifted away.

She had come in a hurry and left in a hurry!

Holding that Silver Scale, Ye Liangchen was deeply shaken. He had never expected the Silver Dragon King to give him her Inverse Scale. Did she want him to become a Dragon Knight?

Whenever he thought of the Silver Dragon King—that white-haired yandere woman—Ye Liangchen found it rather interesting. When he had the chance, he had to meet her. After all, the Silver Dragon King was the Douluo First Goddess and also the First Rich Woman. Even Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue could not compare to her.

Ye Liangchen also guessed the Silver Dragon King's intentions. She must have sensed something from his Goddess of Life Spirit and wanted to use his hand to change the fate of the Soul Beast race.

However, those matters were still far too distant. Right now, he was merely a level 14 Soul Master. Once he reached the strength of the God of Creation in the future, he could solve everything with a wave of his hand.

He had a Cheat System, after all. Reaching the strength of the God of Creation in this world was absolutely not a problem.

After Di Tian and Bi Ji returned to the Lake of Life, they immediately entered the Palace beneath the lake to report to the Silver Dragon King.

"My Lord, this subordinate has confirmed that the little boy is the child of that couple from back then."

A trace of joy entered the Silver Dragon King's yandere voice. "Mm! That makes things easier. His enemies are also our enemies. We can provide all the resources the little one needs for cultivation in the future. Spirit bones and spirit rings are no issue. As long as I can use him to kill the Asura God in the future, it will be worth it."

"Rest assured, My Lord. We will make the arrangements."

Di Tian and Bi Ji exchanged a glance. They felt this deal was very worthwhile. By investing in that little human now, if he truly inherited the positions of the Life God King and Destruction God King in the future, the fate of the Soul Beast race really could be changed.

A quarter of an hour after Di Tian and Bi Ji left, Lan Xiao Die and the others finally came back to their senses. Thinking back on what had just happened, they felt as though they had been dreaming.

"Who exactly were those two powerful figures? Little Chen's parents were actually killed by gods?" Su Lin and Lan Xiao Ling felt their minds buzzing. What had happened today was beyond their understanding.

"Ye Feng and Liu Ru Yan also believed back then that that power could not belong to an ordinary person. Who would have thought it was actually a god? That powerful figure even said it was the Asura God. What kind of god is that?"

Lan Xiao Die muttered to herself. Remembering the scene of Ye Feng and his wife self-destructing, her heart ached. Such a powerful enemy was waiting for Ye Liangchen. As the little guy's Guardian, she felt immense pressure.

Ye Liangchen considered it. Since the Silver Dragon King wanted to use his hand to change the fate of the Soul Beasts, he could not work for free! In the future, he had to ask her for some Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones. There should be nothing wrong with that. Perhaps Di Tian and the others would even have Soul Beasts nearing the end of their lives sacrifice themselves to him. Then he would not have to work so hard hunting Soul Beasts.

As Ye Liangchen indulged in fantasies about the future, he felt there was more and more potential in it.

Lan Xiao Die came to Ye Liangchen's side. Seeing the little guy staring blankly into space, she felt a little heartache.

"Child, don't think too much about it. We'll deal with the future when it comes. Let's go eat dinner first."

After comforting Ye Liangchen, Lan Xiao Die took his hand and led him toward the campsite.

"Aunt Lan, I'm fine."

Ye Liangchen smiled and hurriedly put the Silver Dragon King's Inverse Scale into his Soul Tool. This was a super treasure! With it, it was practically like having a super bodyguard!

Dinner was lavish. The Lan Xiao Die sisters had specially made Braised Rabbit, Braised Mountain Chicken, and other dishes for Ye Liangchen. Everything was delicious.

Absorbing a spirit ring that was close to a thousand years old had drained a great deal of Ye Liangchen's energy. At that moment, he transformed into a devoted eater and wolfed down his food.

After enjoying a hearty meal, Ye Liangchen cultivated for another two hours, then returned to the soft bed in his tent and fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

The Lan Xiao Die sisters and Su Lin sat around the bonfire, discussing what had happened that day.

"We must keep what happened today a secret."

"Two Super Titled Douluo experts... what faction did they belong to?"

"I don't know! But that green-haired woman looked quite similar to Little Chen's First Martial Soul."

"Since they meant no harm, there's no need to worry. We'll take things one step at a time. And from the looks of it, they are even willing to protect Little Chen. The little guy's safety is no longer something we need to worry about."

The three women felt that even more astonishing things would happen to Ye Liangchen in the future, and they were all greatly looking forward to it.
