From Today On, You Are Wang Chun'er!

"If everything was fine, then why did you throw such a big tantrum?"

Bi Ji muttered a few words, then quickly buried the matter in her heart. After all, saying too much would only make her seem unreasonable, and it would be bad if she got disliked for no reason.

She shook her head, casting those thoughts aside, and simply changed the subject.

Whether it was true or false still needed to be investigated.

After all, seeing was believing. She had heard it with her own ears and seen it with her own eyes, but she still needed to remain vigilant and discern the actual situation. At the very least, this matter truly needed to be discussed with Zi Ji.

It concerned the great undertaking of the Dragon Clan. There could be no carelessness!

Bi Ji took a deep breath and quickly resumed her usual cool yet gentle expression. "So, Di Tian? Did something happen to the Auspicious Beast?"

At last, they were discussing serious business.

Di Tian only intended to explain this once. If there were any more questions afterward, they were not to come to him.

In one word: busy!

"The Lord said that the Auspicious Beast will soon face a great calamity. I needed to prepare a backup plan for her, so I placed her somewhere extremely safe. There is no need to worry; it will merely affect the fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest somewhat."

"But this is not necessarily bad. The Star Dou Great Forest has been developing far too quickly lately. I truly fear that one day, we may completely erupt into war with humanity."

Bi Ji nodded deeply, thoroughly agreeing with Di Tian's thoughts.

Though she was exceptionally kind, she was not some saint.

Having cultivated to this level and become a ferocious beast who followed Di Tian, how could she possibly be some Xiao Bai?

With the Star Dou Great Forest expanding so rapidly, they often had no choice but to drive out certain soul beasts. This was what humans called a "Beast Tide."

If things continued like this, the Star Dou Great Forest would likely be flooded with soul beasts.

As for the Lord Di Tian had mentioned, she had heard a little about her as well, so she nodded heavily again.

"I understand. Di Tian did the right thing. Carry out your plan as you see fit; Bi Ji will cooperate with you!"

When it came to major matters, Bi Ji obeyed Di Tian completely. She was far more loyal than the other soul beasts.

After all, whether it was supporting Di Tian in launching a full Beast Tide against humanity, or later choosing to fuse with humans and become a Soul Spirit in order to follow Di Tian after he died while crossing the Million-Year Heavenly Tribulation, both showed her incomparable love for him.

Di Tian had also learned from the Auspicious Beast that the girl before him admired him, and the way he looked at her became much gentler.

"Oh, right. I recently took in a Disciple. When there is time, I can bring him out for you to meet. I imagine you will like him too."

"Mm~"

Anything you like, I will like too.

Elsewhere, Wan Yao Wang and Xiong Jun, the two great ferocious beasts who had just set out to search for a True Dragon, encountered some humans looking for trouble. Still, they sent them packing with a single punch.

Just as Xiong Jun was about to display his might, Wan Yao Wang received another message that left him utterly speechless.

Di Tian ordered him to return immediately!

"Di Tian, what exactly are you doing? Are you not just toying with soul beasts?"

Even the honest Wan Yao Wang had been angered by Di Tian's repeated orders.

If he were stronger than Di Tian, he would have tied him up and whipped him mercilessly by now, teaching him a proper lesson!

Unfortunately, making Di Tian cry, beg, and surrender beneath his whip seemed possible only in dreams. It would never happen in this lifetime.

Wan Yao Wang was very realistic, which was why he behaved himself more than anyone else in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Otherwise, he would never have become the king of the Plant System in the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Let's go! We're heading back!"

Xiong Jun held the honey he had just "bought" from the humans in his hands. Hearing Wan Yao Wang's words, he frowned slightly.

He had not even challenged the Evil Emperor yet. Why were they going back already?

This old bear wants to see whether that Evil Emperor's body is really tough enough to withstand my Sky-Rending Claw!

Wan Yao Wang understood far better than Di Tian how to handle Xiong Jun. He merely said coldly, "These are Di Tian's orders!"

Bullshit!

Just as Xiong Jun was about to refuse, Wan Yao Wang added, "Have you not noticed that the fortune around you is gradually disappearing?"

"What fortune?" Xiong Jun was rather thick-headed, but after being reminded, he finally realized that the Auspicious Beast's buff had actually vanished from his body.

The stronger a ferocious beast was, the more clearly it could sense the Auspicious Beast's power.

Yet now, it had disappeared.

That meant... something had happened to the Auspicious Beast?

Xiong Jun could no longer sit still. He even stopped eating the honey in his hands.

"Then what are we standing around for? Hurry back!"

"I'm going to avenge the Auspicious Beast!"

Xiong Jun's eyes immediately reddened. Among all the ferocious beasts, he had the best relationship with the Auspicious Beast.

Wan Yao Wang was an honest man who did not like talking, so he could not please the Auspicious Beast. He was also rather ugly, so naturally she could not bring herself to like him.

Di Tian was more like a father, and the Auspicious Beast simply could not fool around with him.

Bi Ji had her own work as well. More importantly, Bi Ji was a herbivorous soul beast, while the Auspicious Beast was carnivorous. Though the distinction did not matter much among soul beasts, Bi Ji had only just healed a soul beast for the sake of peace among them, only for that soul beast to end up in the Auspicious Beast's stomach the next moment. The fact that they could still get along so harmoniously was entirely due to the Auspicious Beast's effect.

Furthermore, Bi Ji was kind and friendly, treating the Auspicious Beast extremely well, like a mother.

As for Zi Ji, she only knew how to bury herself in cultivation. In order to surpass Bi Ji as soon as possible, she had not met the Auspicious Beast many times. Often, Zi Ji would simply drag her away and force her into secluded cultivation. How could an Auspicious Beast who yearned for freedom possibly accept that? She could not run away fast enough!

Scarlet King, meanwhile, was purely a little lackey.

Only with Xiong Jun could she truly play on the same wavelength.

They were both the sort who could act foolish, so naturally they had fun together.

The moment he learned that the Auspicious Beast was in danger, Xiong Jun did not hesitate. He immediately rode back at full speed. The Blazing Sun Lion beneath him let out strained, frantic cries, but with such a "master" on its back, it had to run even if it ran itself to death!

Otherwise, even if it died, it still had a whole clan to worry about!

Xiong Jun was extremely petty!

Wan Yao Wang shook his head and rode his Heavenly Dragon Horse back as well, though he was not in much of a hurry.

With Di Tian there, nothing should happen to the Auspicious Beast.

If something truly had happened to her and even Di Tian could not solve it, then they would be even more useless. Though Wan Yao Wang found it regrettable that the buff on his body had disappeared, he could still accept it.

He would just treat it as a temporary adjustment.

Fortunately, the two ferocious beasts had not gone far. They had originally been traveling leisurely and without urgency, but their return to the Star Dou Great Forest was now pressing, so they got back quickly.

"Di Tian, did something happen to the Auspicious Beast? Tell me! I'll kill whoever did it!"

Xiong Jun roared, gradually revealing the form and aura of a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. Beside him, the Blazing Sun Lion had long since collapsed on the ground, foaming at the mouth and unconscious.

Though Wan Yao Wang was not in a rush, he followed closely behind Xiong Jun.

Di Tian ignored the frenzied Xiong Jun. Instead, he looked at the Heavenly Dragon Horse beneath Wan Yao Wang, which radiated a sacred aura.

His interest was immediately piqued, and he pointed at the Heavenly Dragon Horse.

"From today on, you will be called Wang Chun'er!"

Heavenly Dragon Horse:?

The Heavenly Dragon Horse, which possessed two hundred thousand years of cultivation and was about to fall to one hundred thousand years, pointed at itself with a hoof in disbelief. "Huh? Me?"

"Me?"

"My name is Wang Chun'er?"
