Bi Ji in an Office Lady Outfit, Teacher Bi Ji! Teach Zi Ji a Lesson

"Teacher?" Gu Yuena raised an eyebrow. "Wasn't it you who proposed a hundred years of compulsory education? Shouldn't you be the one teaching?"

"I'm in charge of overall direction, not a front-line teacher."

A tentacle sprouted from Gu Yuena's shoulder and touched her red lips.

"You want to find human teachers?" Gu Yuena frowned. "Soul Beasts will be wary of humans."

"No need to find humans. I'll train teachers from among you Soul Beasts."

"Who?"

"Bi Ji."

Gu Yuena's brows drew together slightly. "Bi Ji may be highly respected, but she knows nothing about human knowledge. It'll take her a long time to learn."

"Nana, you really are forgetful."

Jiang Ce smiled.

Gu Yuena had long since grown immune to "Nana."

These past few days, she'd heard every nickname under the sun: White-Haired Big-Titty Dragon, Silly Sweetie, Big-Breasted Brainless.

As long as he could help her grow stronger and teach the Soul Beasts, what did a few nicknames—or even her body—matter? She could give them to him.

"Call Bi Ji over."

Gu Yuena raised her hand, sending a streak of silver light into the distance.

A moment later, two figures were forcibly pulled over.

Zi Ji wore a sour expression, the black bodysuit still writhing over her.

Bi Ji followed behind her in a light-green dress, her emerald hair flowing around her, Healing Light swirling about her.

"My lord." The two bowed.

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

Bi Ji stepped forward.

A mass of inky liquid peeled away from Zi Ji and spread across the ground beneath Bi Ji's feet,

climbing up her ankles and slipping beneath her clothes before turning into a black bodysuit that hugged her graceful figure tightly.

Bi Ji's cheeks flushed. She'd never been touched like this before.

It made her feel shy.

"Don't resist," Gu Yuena said coolly.

Bi Ji bit her lip. At last, she understood why Zi Ji had been acting so strangely.

Zi Ji folded her arms, gloating. "Looks like that bastard's going to put you through the wringer too."

Bi Ji didn't reply. Amid her embarrassment, Jiang Ce's voice rang in her mind. "Not bad. You've been hiding those 36E curves. Heh heh heh."

Bi Ji furrowed her brows, embarrassed. She knew this was the Venom Symbiote.

It had possessed her lord and Zi Ji before. Now it was her turn.

"What are you going to do?"

"Give you power and knowledge."

A torrent of information flooded her mind: writing, arithmetic, logic, history, philosophy...

Her mind was like a stretch of land that had lain dry for over a hundred thousand years, now welcoming life-giving rain.

Bi Ji's eyes grew warm. "This is human..."

"Knowledge," Jiang Ce finished. "You've lived for over a hundred thousand years, yet your minds are no better than those of fifteen-year-old human boys. Human Civilization has accumulated knowledge generation after generation. You have nothing."

Bi Ji couldn't deny it.

Just then, another force surged from the black bodysuit.

Her Healing Ability increased fivefold. Her defense, perception, Mental Power, and every other attribute soared, and she gained a wealth of offensive, defensive, and support skills.

"The boost I gave you is an Independent Multiplier. If you stack your own boosts on top, your Base Attributes can reach more than fifty times their original level. You alone could heal the entire Star Dou Great Forest."

Bi Ji was stunned.

Her lord had one of these too. That meant her lord's power would become even more terrifying.

She looked at Gu Yuena. The Silver Dragon King gave a slight nod.

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

"Be a teacher. Teach the Soul Beasts literacy, arithmetic, logic, and strategy."

Bi Ji froze. "Can I do it?"

"I've already given you the knowledge. It'll be more than enough to teach that bunch who can't read a single character. I've also given you Lesson Preparation Skills."

Bi Ji took in the teaching skills in her mind and nodded gently.

The black bodysuit continued to writhe, but her heart was warm.

She could feel that the Soul Beasts' future was bright.

"I'll give it a try."

"Go on. Start your first class with literacy."

"Yes." Bi Ji was eager to begin.

"By the way, as a teacher, you need a teacher's proper attire."

Bi Ji's emerald-green dress instantly transformed into a professional Office Lady Outfit.

Her jade-green hair was pinned up high. She wore a white blouse, a black blazer, and a pencil skirt that reached her calves.

Black stockings wrapped her long, straight legs, their sheen glimmering in the sunlight.

Gu Yuena and Zi Ji both stared.

Was this really Bi Ji, who usually wore loose, long dresses and had a gentle, rounded figure?

Her well-hidden figure was now on full display, her slender waist a striking contrast to her ample curves.

The corner of Zi Ji's mouth twitched. "That bastard picked that out for you?"

Bi Ji didn't reply, her cheeks flushed.

She'd lived for over a hundred thousand years and had never worn clothes like these. But there was no denying that they changed her whole bearing.

She took a deep breath and walked toward the lakeside.

Her heels clicked crisply against the gravel.

By the lake, dozens of human-shaped Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts had already taken their seats as instructed.

Most were burly men, sitting cross-legged on the grass and looking thoroughly uncomfortable.

"Is learning human knowledge really useful?"

"Our lord ordered it. Who'd dare disobey?"

"You say that, but you were the one shouting the loudest just now, saying you were willing."

"Wasn't that because the guy's words got my blood pumping?"

"Hmph. He was probably just making big promises."

Even so, not one of them dared get up and leave.

Click, click, click.

All the Soul Beasts looked up and collectively froze. Bi Ji?

Why was she dressed like a human?

Bi Ji walked over and stopped in front of them.

"Starting today, I'll be your teacher. I'll teach you theoretical knowledge."

The Soul Beasts exchanged glances. "Lady Bi Ji, aren't you a Ferocious Beast? How do you know human knowledge?"

"This is my lord's order," Bi Ji said softly.

Every Soul Beast immediately shut up.

"Then... is learning really useful?"

Bi Ji calmly regarded the one who'd asked. "When you shouted 'willing' before, were you just playing around?"

"Of course not!"

"Then learn."

Bi Ji raised her hand. Emerald light gathered into a pointer, and a blackboard appeared in midair. She wrote the character "口."

"This is 口, the character for 'mouth.'"

One Soul Beast pointed at his own mouth, even transforming it into the gaping maw of his true form.

"But mouths don't look like that?"

A foul stench filled the air.

Bi Ji fell silent for a moment. "...These are human characters, not drawings of your mouth."

She wrote out one, two, three, person, big, sky.

"Today, we'll start with these seven characters. Everyone, follow along."

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

"So one is a single stick?"

"That's right."

"And two is two sticks?"

"...That's right."

"Then three is three sticks? Does four mean four sticks?"

"...No. Let's finish these seven first."

One burly man wrote person backward, turning it into enter.

Bi Ji crouched down, intending to take his hand and correct him, but Jiang Ce's voice sounded in her mind. He had her use soul power to guide the man's wrist and teach him how to write.

The man's face flushed with excitement. The other Soul Beasts stared so enviously their eyes nearly popped out.

Another wrote big with a stroke too long and the diagonal lines too short. It looked like an upside-down triangle.

Bi Ji looked at it for a long moment, then sighed. "You think that's big?"

"Isn't it? I thought it looked pretty big."

Bi Ji said nothing. She wrote a proper big.

The man compared the two, scratched his head, erased his attempt, and tried again.

A few impatient ones tossed their branches aside after three tries and cursed under their breath.

Bi Ji didn't lose her temper. She only gave them a disappointed look with her jade-green eyes.

They immediately wilted and sheepishly picked their branches back up.

"It doesn't matter whether you write well. What matters is that you're willing to try," Bi Ji said gently. "My lord has given you an opportunity, and I've given you an opportunity. You also have to give yourselves a chance."

"Work hard for the future of the Soul Beasts."

Her words helped the restless Soul Beasts settle down and find their patience again.

In the distance, Gu Yuena's lips curled into a smile. "It seems cooperating with you really was a wise choice."

Zi Ji folded her arms and snorted. "That's only because my lord gave that guy a chance."

"Do you resent him?"

"He pesters me every day. How could I not resent him?" Zi Ji gritted her teeth, her fair cheeks flushing.

That bastard hadn't let up once since the day he possessed her.

"Forget it. I'm done talking." Zi Ji waved a hand and turned to leave.

Gu Yuena suddenly raised her hand and pinched her chin.

Zi Ji stiffened. "M-My lord?"

The corner of Gu Yuena's mouth lifted in a knowing smile. She looked less like her lord and more like someone else.

Zi Ji's pupils shrank. "Y-You're not my lord!"

"Oh? Why not?" Gu Yuena tilted her head, her fingers rubbing Zi Ji's chin.

"My lord wouldn't do something like this!"

"Then what do you think your lord would do? Sleep at the bottom of the lake? Stare into space? Let me make her go limp all over while she grits her teeth and keeps quiet?"

"Let me do whatever I want to her body."

"Shut up!" Zi Ji panicked.

"Seems you resent me," Jiang Ce drawled. "Then I'll just have to teach you a lesson."

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

"Bastard! Put me down!"

"No." Jiang Ce controlled Gu Yuena's body and walked toward the depths of the forest.

"Where are you taking me?"

"Somewhere no one's around, so I can teach you a lesson properly."

"You can't do this! My lord, mm. Wake up!"

Zi Ji cursed in despair, but didn't dare resist her lord's body.

The black bodysuit continued to writhe.

Damn it. This was too much.

And yet she couldn't get away.

Under the shade of the trees, a Golden Little Beast lay on the grass, her three eyes curved like crescents as she flicked her tail and yawned.

She watched Bi Ji teach the Soul Beasts to write, watched the burly men clumsily trace their characters, and watched the direction where Gu Yuena disappeared into the forest with Zi Ji in her arms.

"My other half is stuffing herself in the human world while I'm stuck here watching a bunch of roughnecks learn to write..." She rolled over, baring her furry belly. "Still, it's kind of interesting."

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

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

She heard Zi Ji cursing but didn't look back.

She looked down at her clothes.

Sooner or later, that guy would put her through the same torture.

Bi Ji took a deep breath and suppressed the thought.

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

"Wood. The wood in trees. You live in a forest, so you should know what the place you live in is called."

The Soul Beasts bent their heads and started writing again.

Meanwhile.

Elsewhere, Liu Erlong.

"Big-breasted dragon, want to go back and challenge the dojo??"
