"Teacher?" Gu Yuena raised an eyebrow. "This century-long compulsory education you proposed—are you not the one who will be teaching it?"

"I am the manager of the overall direction, not a frontline teacher."

A tentacle surged from Gu Yuena's shoulder, pressing against her red lips.

"You want to find human teachers?" Gu Yuena frowned. "Soul Beasts will have resistance toward humans."

"No need to find humans. I intend to cultivate teachers from among you Soul Beasts."

"Who?"

"Bi Ji."

Gu Yuena furrowed her brows slightly. "Although Bi Ji has high prestige, she does not understand human knowledge. It will take a long time for her to learn."

"Nana, you really are forgetful."

Jiang Ce wore a smile.

Gu Yuena had long since become immune to being called "Nana."

During these days, she had heard every nickname: White-Haired Big-Titty Dragon, Silly Sweetie, Big-Breasted Brainless—she had heard them all.

As long as he could help her increase her strength and teach the Soul Beasts, what did a few nicknames or even her body matter to him?

"Call Bi Ji over."

Gu Yuena raised her hand, and a silver light shot into the distance.

A moment later, two figures were forcibly pulled over.

Zi Ji's expression was unsightly, and that layer of black silk bodysuit was still constantly writhing.

Bi Ji followed behind her, wearing a pale green long dress, her emerald hair flowing, and a Healing Light surrounding her body.

"Lord." The two bowed.

Gu Yuena nodded. "Bi Ji, come here."

Bi Ji stepped forward.

A mass of pitch-black liquid separated from Zi Ji's body, spreading to Bi Ji's feet.

It climbed up her ankles, burrowed beneath her clothes, and transformed into a black silk bodysuit, tightly wrapping around her exquisite figure.

Bi Ji's cheeks flushed; she had never been touched like this before.

It made her shy.

"Do not resist." Gu Yuena's voice was cold and detached.

Bi Ji bit her lip, finally understanding why Zi Ji had been acting so strangely.

Zi Ji crossed her arms over her chest, gloating. "It seems you are about to be tormented by that bastard too."

Bi Ji did not respond. Amidst her shyness, Jiang Ce's voice echoed in her mind: "Not bad, hiding your depth, 36E. Hehehe."

Bi Ji frowned shyly, knowing this was the Venom Symbiote.

It had previously parasitized the Lord and Zi Ji, and now it was her turn.

"What are you going to do?"

"Give you power, give you knowledge."

A massive amount of information flooded into her mind: text, arithmetic, logic, history, philosophy...

Her mind was like land that had been parched for over a hundred thousand years, finally receiving sweet rain.

Bi Ji's eyes grew warm. "Is this... human..."

"Wisdom," Jiang Ce said. "You have lived for over a hundred thousand years, yet your brains are not as sharp as a fifteen-year-old human youth. Human civilization accumulates generation after generation, while you have nothing."

Bi Ji could not refute this.

At this moment, another surge of power erupted from the black silk bodysuit.

Her Healing Ability skyrocketed fivefold; her defense, perception, and Mental Power all soared, and she gained a vast array of attack, defense, and Support Skills.

"The boost I am giving you is an Independent Multiplier. If you stack your own buffs on top of that, your Base Attributes can reach over fifty times their original level. You alone will be able to heal the entire Star Dou Great Forest."

Bi Ji was stunned.

The Lord had this thing on her as well, which meant the Lord's power would become even more terrifying.

She looked at Gu Yuena, and the Silver Dragon King nodded slightly.

"So, what do you want me to do?"

"Be a teacher. Teach the Soul Beasts how to read, do arithmetic, logic, and strategy."

Bi Ji was taken aback. "Can I do it?"

"The knowledge has already been given to you; it is more than enough to teach that group of illiterate Soul Beasts. I have also transmitted the Lesson Preparation Skills to you."

Bi Ji felt the teaching techniques in her mind and nodded gently.

The layer of black silk bodysuit was still writhing, but her heart was warm.

She felt that the future of the Soul Beasts was bright.

"I'll give it a try."

"Go ahead. The first lesson starts with learning Text."

"Yes." Bi Ji was full of enthusiasm.

"Right, as a teacher, you must have the demeanor of a teacher."

The emerald green dress on Bi Ji instantly transformed into an Office Lady Outfit.

Her emerald-colored long hair was coiled high, paired with a white shirt, a small black suit jacket, and a pencil skirt that fell to her calves.

Black silk stockings wrapped around her straight, long legs, shimmering under the sunlight.

Gu Yuena and Zi Ji were both stunned.

Was this still the same Bi Ji who wore loose long dresses and appeared gentle and rounded?

Her hidden figure was completely accentuated, with her slender waist contrasting sharply against her full curves.

Zi Ji's mouth twitched: "Did that bastard pick this out for you?"

Bi Ji didn't answer, her cheeks flushing red.

Having lived for over a hundred thousand years, she had never worn such clothing, but her temperament had indeed changed after putting it on.

She took a deep breath and stepped toward the lakeside.

Her high heels crunched against the gravel, making crisp sounds.

By the lake, dozens of Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts that had taken human form were already seated as instructed.

Most were burly men with broad shoulders and thick waists, sitting cross-legged on the grass, looking completely uncomfortable.

"Is learning human knowledge really useful?"

"The Lord ordered it; who would dare disobey?"

"You're one to talk, you were the one shouting the loudest earlier, saying you were willing."

"That was because I was worked up by what that guy said."

"Hmph, probably just big talk."

Despite their words, not one of them dared to stand up and leave.

The sound of clack, clack, clack rang out.

All the Soul Beasts looked up, collectively stunned. Bi Ji?

Why had she changed into human clothes?

Bi Ji walked over and stood still.

"From today on, I am your teacher. I will be teaching you theoretical knowledge."

The Soul Beasts looked at each other: "Lady Bi Ji, aren't you a Beast King? How do you understand human knowledge?"

"This is the Lord's command," Bi Ji said softly.

All the Soul Beasts immediately shut their mouths.

"Then... is it really useful to learn?"

Bi Ji looked calmly at the questioner: "When you shouted 'willing' earlier, were you just playing around?"

"Of course not!"

"Then learn."

Bi Ji raised her hand, emerald light condensing into a pointer, and she conjured a blackboard in the air, writing the character "mouth."

"This is 'mouth', the mouth you speak with."

A Soul Beast pointed at its own mouth, even transforming it into the bloody maw of a Soul Beast.

"A mouth doesn't look like that, does it?"

A foul stench permeated the air.

Bi Ji was silent for a moment: "...This is human Text, not a drawing of your mouth."

She wrote again: one, two, three, person, big, sky.

"We will learn these seven characters today. Everyone, follow along and write them."

The Soul Beasts picked up branches and crouched on the ground, clumsily tracing the shapes.

"So 'one' is just a stick?"

"Correct."

"And 'two' is just two sticks?"

"...Correct."

"Is 'three' just three sticks? Then is 'four' four of them?"

"...No. Finish learning the seven characters first."

A burly man wrote the character "person" as "enter."

Bi Ji crouched down, initially intending to grab his hand to correct him, but Jiang Ce's voice entered her mind, prompting her to use Soul Power to guide his wrist instead.

The burly man's face flushed with excitement, while the other Soul Beasts looked on with eyes so envious they nearly popped out of their sockets.

Another one wrote "big," but the horizontal stroke was too long and the diagonal strokes too short, making it look like an inverted triangle.

Bi Ji stared at it for a long time before sighing, "Is this 'big'?"

"Isn't it? I think it looks pretty big."

Bi Ji said nothing and wrote a standard "big."

The burly man scratched his head after comparing the two, then erased his work to rewrite it.

A few impatient ones threw their branches down and cursed after only three attempts.

Bi Ji didn't get angry; she simply glanced at them with her disappointed emerald eyes.

The few of them immediately wilted, scurrying back to pick up their branches to continue writing.

"Whether you write well or not isn't important; what matters is that you are willing to write," Bi Ji said in a gentle voice. "The Lord has given you a chance, and I have given you a chance. You must also give yourselves a chance."

"Strive and struggle for the future of the Soul Beasts."

As soon as these words were spoken, the restless Soul Beasts immediately settled down with renewed patience.

In the distance, Gu Yuena's lips curled up. "It seems that cooperating with you was indeed a wise choice."

Zi Ji crossed her arms over her chest and huffed, "It's only because the Lord gave that guy a chance."

"Do you have grievances against him?"

"He harasses me every single day, how could I not have grievances?" Zi Ji gritted her teeth, a crimson flush rising on her fair cheeks.

That bastard hadn't stopped for a single day since the first day he parasitized her.

"Forget it, never mind." Zi Ji waved her hand, intending to leave.

Gu Yuena suddenly raised her hand and pinched her chin.

Zi Ji froze. "L-Lord?"

Gu Yuena's lips curled into a smirk that didn't look like the Lord at all, but rather like someone else entirely.

Zi Ji's pupils constricted. "You—you aren't the Lord!"

"Oh? Why wouldn't I be?" Gu Yuena tilted her head, her fingers stroking Zi Ji's chin.

"The Lord would never do something like this!"

"Then what do you think your Lord would do? Sleep at the bottom of the lake? Stare blankly? Be pinched by me until her whole body goes limp, yet grit her teeth and refuse to make a sound?"

"Letting me ravage her body."

"Shut up!" Zi Ji grew anxious.

"It seems you do have grievances against me," Jiang Ce's voice drawled lazily. "Then I'll have to discipline you."

Gu Yuena bent down, one arm scooping under Zi Ji's waist and the other under her legs, lifting her into a bridal carry.

"Bastard! Let me go!"

"No." Jiang Ce controlled Gu Yuena to walk toward the depths of the dense forest.

"Where are you taking me?"

"To find a place with no one around, to properly discipline you."

"You can't do this! Lord, mm—wake up!"

Zi Ji cursed in despair, but she dared not resist the Lord's body.

That layer of black silk bodysuit was still undulating incessantly.

Detestable, absolutely detestable.

Yet, she couldn't escape.

Under the shade of the trees, the Golden Little Beast lay on the grass, her three eyes squinting into crescent moons as she yawned and flicked her tail.

She watched Bi Ji teach the writing, watched the burly men clumsily trace the characters, and watched the direction where Gu Yuena disappeared into the depths of the forest while carrying Zi Ji.

"The other half is stuffing his face in the human world, while I'm stuck here watching a bunch of brutes learn to write..." She rolled over, exposing her furry belly. "Still, it's quite interesting."

Deep in the dense forest, Gu Yuena's figure gradually vanished.

In the distance, Bi Ji was still teaching the Soul Beasts how to write.

She heard Zi Ji's cursing but did not turn back.

She looked down at her own clothes.

Sooner or later, she would also be tormented by that guy in the same way.

Bi Ji took a deep breath, suppressing the thought.

"Continue." She wrote the fourth character on the ground.

"Wood. The wood of trees. Since you all live in the forest, you should at least know what the place you live in is called."

The Soul Beasts buried their heads and began writing again.

Meanwhile.

On Liu Erlong's side.

"Big-breasted dragon, do you want to go back and crash the place?"
