The Three-Eyed Golden Lion transformed into a streak of golden light, refracting several times off the tree branches before surging toward the sky.
When she leaped to a height of over a hundred meters, a golden beam shot from her forehead, heading straight for Zi Ji.
However, she dared not aim too accurately, for Liu Feng was in Zi Ji's grasp.
Zi Ji easily dodged, evading the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's attack.
After hovering in the air for a few seconds, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion inevitably began to descend.
"Roar...!!!"
"Scarlet King! Bi Ji! Come quickly!"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion roared repeatedly.
But Scarlet King was busy guarding the Golden Hawksbill for her.
As for Bi Ji...
Bi Ji's defense and healing were top-tier, but in terms of offensive power, she was far from being a match for Zi Ji!
She landed on the ground, and Bi Ji came to her side.
"Auspicious Beast, are you hurt?"
Bi Ji asked.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion said anxiously, "Zi Ji snatched Liu Feng away! Go quickly..."
Bi Ji shook her head, saying helplessly, "Auspicious Beast, we cannot stop Zi Ji."
"Zi Ji's temperament is a bit reckless, but she won't harm Liu Feng. It is highly likely she is just taking him to the human world to play, and she will return soon."
Bi Ji then explained Zi Ji's situation.
Dragon-type soul beasts loved jewelry the most, and Zi Ji's cave was filled with many hidden treasures.
She would often rob humans, swindling and deceiving in the human world to haul treasures back to her nest.
"The human world...?"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was stunned for a moment, then grew anxious, "Then I want to go too!"
"Absolutely not!"
Bi Ji refused flatly.
A fiery red figure also emerged from the darkness; it was none other than Scarlet King.
One of Scarlet King's heads held the Golden Hawksbill, while the other two looked at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion with great solemnity.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion carried the soul beast luck of the Star Dou Great Forest and could not be allowed to face the slightest danger!
As for Liu Feng... Zi Ji was originally meant to have a phase where she would mentor him.
Taking him to the human world now would not pose any risks.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion stomped her feet, nearly dying of anger!
"Auspicious Beast, you cannot catch up to Zi Ji. The human world is even more vast than the Star Dou Great Forest; how would you find them? Just wait patiently."
Bi Ji gently patted the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's head, comforting her softly.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was extremely depressed, snapping her jaws at the air several times as if biting the hateful Zi Ji.
On the other side, Zi Ji reverted to her dragon form, a black dragon dozens of meters long, spreading her wings and gliding rapidly through the clouds.
She used one of her claws as a cage, trapping Liu Feng inside.
Liu Feng asked helplessly, "Big Sister Zi Ji, where are you taking me?"
"Taking you to the human world to broaden your horizons!"
Zi Ji giggled.
At this moment, the horizon was already beginning to turn a pale white.
Liu Feng had reverted to his six-year-old appearance.
He did not make a fuss, as he was actually quite yearning for the human world.
Life in the Star Dou Great Forest was quiet and peaceful, but it lacked excitement.
He was willing to go to the human world to see more.
Moreover, if he could come into contact with meditation techniques or knowledge of Soul Tools, that would be even better.
It was just that the way Zi Ji had taken him away was too excessive.
He wondered how angry the Three-Eyed Golden Lion must be.
"Boom...!!!"
At that moment, more than a dozen pitch-black bolts of lightning suddenly shot up from below!
They headed straight for Zi Ji's dragon head!
Zi Ji let out an angry roar, flapping her wings to narrowly dodge most of the attack, though her neck still took a few heavy hits.
"Who dares to provoke this lady?!"
As she shouted, Zi Ji spewed black flames toward the ground below.
A sea of fire poured down, creating thick plumes of smoke that radiated intense heat into the air.
"ROAR...!!!"
A volatile roar erupted from below.
A powerful gust of wind whipped up simultaneously, carving a clear path right through the sea of flames.
A black tiger with wings on its back came charging up from below!
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger!
It was a top-tier Soul Beast possessing multiple attributes!
As the Evil God Hook at the tip of its tail lashed out, dense waves of wind blades, each the size of a house, shot toward Zi Ji.
Zi Ji was incensed; with a beat of her wings, a gale like a natural chasm spanned the space between her and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, blocking the wind blades.
"A mere ten-thousand-year-level Soul Beast! And you dare provoke this lady? Go to hell!"
Zi Ji opened her mouth and spat out three black fire dragons that seemed to possess a life of their own, weaving through the air to hunt down the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger!
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger dodged and weaved in the air, evading the lunges of the fire dragons.
At the same time, it rapidly closed the distance on Zi Ji, the Evil God Hook on its back spinning as a black hole began to form!
It intended to drag Zi Ji into its duel space!
Only then would it have any certainty of victory.
Otherwise, even though it possessed the combat power of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, Zi Ji was a Great Beast!
Furthermore, she was a pure-blooded dragon, also belonging to the ranks of top-tier Soul Beasts!
"BANG...!!!"
Zi Ji's body was more slender than Di Tian's, who was also of the dragon race, granting her greater agility.
Taking advantage of the moment the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was entangled with the three fire dragons, she suddenly dove, striking the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger with her tail!
In an instant, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was sent plummeting at high speed, taking the full force of the three fire dragons' attacks as well.
"AOOO...!!!"
Zi Ji looked down at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, now just a black speck as it fell, looking smug.
"A little tiger, and you want to fight this lady? You don't know your place!"
Liu Feng said anxiously, "Sister Zi Ji, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is... is my friend! Will it be alright?"
The battle just now had been too fast and too intense; Zi Ji had been accelerating and diving, leaving him dizzy and disoriented, and he hadn't had a chance to speak to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
But he was certain that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had attacked so suddenly because of him!
Perhaps it thought Zi Ji had "kidnapped" him and was risking its life to fight her.
"It won't die from a fall! It's a top-tier Soul Beast possessed by an Evil God."
"Hmph... it deserves a harsh lesson for attacking this lady!"
Zi Ji said unhappily, "If it has the ability, let it come to the human world to chase me! An evil soul beast would be killed by humans the moment it stepped out!"
"..."
Liu Feng sighed. The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger wouldn't actually run out of the Star Dou Great Forest, would it?
The situation for evil soul beasts was actually even more miserable than for Evil Soul Masters; they had been nearly wiped out by the Angel Clan tens of thousands of years ago.
Later, after Martial Soul Hall fell and Evil Soul Masters made a comeback, the evil soul beasts never recovered.
To go out there was to court death!
At noon, in Kaiyan City.
Liu Feng, wearing a hat, entered the city with Zi Ji and booked a private room at an inn.
Zi Ji knew how to enjoy herself, immediately ordering a table full of delicacies.
Outside the door of the private room, a line of waiters queued up to serve the dishes.
"Little Liu Feng, I never realized human food could be this delicious! It's all thanks to you! You eat too; we need to be full to have the energy to work!"
Zi Ji's small mouth never stopped moving, and within seconds, a plate was already empty.
Liu Feng watched in a daze, unable to help but glance at Zi Ji's flat stomach. How could she hold so much?
"Sister Zi Ji, what kind of work are we doing?"
"A big shopping spree!"
Zi Ji said dismissively.
Liu Feng was completely bewildered; what kind of massive shopping spree was a soul beast talking about?
Could it be a robbery?
Just then, a raspy laugh suddenly echoed from outside.
"The Cult Master learned that a distinguished guest had arrived in Kaiyan City and specifically summoned me to receive you. We mustn't lack courtesy; all of the distinguished guest's expenses shall be covered by me..."
Liu Feng immediately caught a foul stench!
The next second, a man clad in black robes walked in, a chilling smile plastered across his wrinkled face.
An Evil Soul Master...!!!
Liu Feng realized his identity in an instant.
Why would he seek out Zi Ji?
Zi Ji showed no expression of surprise when facing the newcomer.
"The sucker is here!"
She said it without the slightest bit of avoidance.
"..."
