Unanimous Approval! Zi Ji, Offer Your Butt for the Future!

Zi JI's complaints still echoed in the subspace.

She had barely finished speaking when she met Gu Yuena's frighteningly bright eyes.

Zi JI's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition crept into her mind.

"Zi JI."

Gu Yuena's voice carried a hint of pleasure, which made Zi JI shudder.

"You are very good."

"Now that you've had 'close' contact with that Deity and are familiar with his ways, you and Bi Ji will go on this mission together."

Zi JI was stunned.

She blinked her beautiful purple eyes in a daze.

Task?

What task?

Why are we suddenly assigned a mission?

Looking into Gu Yuena's bright, expectant eyes, filled with the feeling that "you are the chosen dragon," and then at the complex gazes of her colleagues around her, her mind completely went blank.

Especially Xiong Jun, whose huge bear eyes were as wide as copper bells, staring straight at her, his eyes seeming to say: Why?! Just because you got beaten up too?!

Zi JI felt that her dragon brains were completely insufficient.

She asked cautiously, in a tentative tone, in a low voice.

"Um... my lord."

"You... you mean the task you're referring to...?"

Looking at her with dark circles under her eyes and a bewildered expression, Gu Yuena felt not only no impatience, but also found her much more pleasing to the eye.

Have a look!

Both of them got beaten up, but that idiot Di Tian only knew how to cry his heart out and concoct conspiracy theories.

Although Zi JI complained a few times, she was clearly much more normal than Di Tian!

At least she knew to ask!

Gu Yuena patiently explained, "We need to send someone to contact that mysterious Deity and probe his attitude towards our Soul Beast Clan."

"And you, having already had an 'in-depth' conversation with him, are the most suitable candidates to go with Bi Ji."

"In-depth" exchange?

Upon hearing this word, Zi JI instinctively covered her left eye and buttocks.

The pain there constantly reminded her of the "inhumane" treatment she had recently endured.

You call that in-depth communication?

And now, the Lord actually wants her to offer herself up?

Isn't this like throwing lambs to the slaughter?!

No, that guy is much scarier than a tiger!

Now, whenever she closes her eyes, she can almost see that fist, as big as a clay pot, magnifying in front of her, followed by that dull "bang."

"My lord, you... you're not joking, are you?" Zi JI's voice was trembling with a sob, filled with resistance.

"Let... let me and Bi Ji go and deal with that bastard? He... he's a devil!"

She pointed to her face, then to her still slightly aching buttocks, her face full of grief and indignation.

"Look! He slapped my face! He even kicked my butt!"

Before Zi JI could finish her indignant accusation, she was interrupted by a cold and authoritative voice.

That's enough.

Gu Yuena's cool face revealed no emotion, but her purple eyes were more serious than ever before.

She gazed at Zi JI and said, word by word, "That being is very likely to be the only hope for our Soul Beast Clan to break free from the shackles of ten thousand years and regain its glory."

"The 'bastard' and 'devil' you speak of are allies we must win over at all costs."

Upon hearing this, Zi JI was completely stunned.

Ally?

To be allies with that violent freak who punched you so hard you got a black eye and kicked you flying?

My lord, do you seem to have some misunderstanding about the word "ally"?

She seriously doubted whether Gu Yuena had also suffered brain damage from that man's beating.

However, Gu Yuena's next words made Zi JI realize that it might not be her lord who was mentally unstable, but rather the future she was about to face.

"That god, since you like being slapped in the face, then offer your face up for him to slap."

Gu Yuena's voice remained cold, but her words sent chills down the spines of all the Ferocious Beast present, including Di Tian.

"He likes to kick your butt, so just bend over and let him kick you."

Zi JI was stunned.

Her beautiful purple dragon eyes widened in disbelief; she couldn't believe what she was hearing.

She wondered if Lin Feng's punch had damaged her ear.

However, Gu Yuena's frighteningly bright purple eyes were staring at her intently, her gaze filled with encouragement and expectation.

"You must understand, this may be our only Soul Beast Clan."

Gu Yuena's tone became earnest and profound, full of a leader's wisdom and decisiveness.

"Think about it, why did he hit you? Why did he kick you?"

Zi JI opened her mouth, instinctively wanting to say "because he's a violent maniac," but the words stuck in her throat and she swallowed them back.

"That's because you showed hostility towards him!"

Gu Yuena answered the question for her, her voice strong and clear.

"And now, what you need to do is put aside all hostility and show the sincerity of our Soul Beast Clan! Let him see that we are not stubborn enemies, but friends!"

"A slap in exchange for the favor of a Deity —isn't that a worthwhile deal?"

"A single footprint can secure the future of our Soul Beast Clan for ten thousand years. Isn't this glory worth it?"

Gu Yuena's voice was filled with a bewitching power.

"Zi JI, you must sacrifice yourself for the sake of our entire clan!"

"When you extend your face, you must remember that you are not slapping your own face, but breaking through the shackles that those hypocrites in the Divine Realm have placed upon us!"

"When you stick your butt out, you must understand that you are not just sticking out your personal dignity, but the hope for the rise of our Soul Beast Clan!"

Xiong Jun and the others were in a daze.

Gu Yuena's combination of punches silenced them completely.

Should I offer my face to someone to slap?

Stick your butt out and let someone kick you?

Is this even human language?

Yet, they couldn't see a hint of joking on the Lord's face.

In particular, Gu Yuena's mobilization speech, which called for "breaking through the shackles of the Divine Realm" and "reviving the hopes of the Soul Beast," made their beastly blood boil, and for a moment they even felt... that it actually made some sense?

Yes!

For the future of the Soul Beast Clan, what does sacrificing a mere Zi JI's buttocks matter!

Worth it! Absolutely worth it!

In an instant, the way Xiong Jun, Scarlet King, and Ten Thousand Demon King looked at Zi JI changed.

His eyes were filled with admiration, encouragement, and a solemn sense of "Comrade, the organization believes in you."

"..."

Zi JI felt a chill run down her spine under those gazes, as if she were a suckling pig being roasted over a fire.

She glanced at Xiong Jun, who was filled with fervor, then at Gu Yuena, who looked resolute, and finally turned to Di Tian for help.

Di Tian, say something!

We're comrades-in-arms, sharing the same fate!

You got hit too, are you really willing to let me get hit as well?

However, Di Tian simply turned the pig's head away silently, avoiding her gaze.

Joke.

Better to die for your fellow Daoist than for me.

Moreover, the Lord is right, this is for the future of the Soul Beast Clan!

He, Di Tian, has already sacrificed his reputation for the clan; now it's your turn, Zi JI, to offer your backside. That's fair.

Zi JI's heart was completely broken.

Just as she was filled with despair and ready to accept her fate, a gentle, soothing voice rang in her ear.

"Little sister Zi JI, don't be afraid."

Bi Ji, who had been silent all along, stepped forward, gently took her hand, and smiled sweetly.

"I will accompany you on this trip."

As if grasping at a lifeline, Zi JI was moved to tears. "Sister Bi Ji!"

"Mmm," Bi Ji nodded gently, then added softly in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"I will heal you, even if that god hits you hard and beats your buttocks raw..."

Bi Ji's voice remained gentle.

Zi JI's dragon body stiffened abruptly, her emotion freezing on her face.

Something about that doesn't sound quite right.

"Your older sister can also help you recover completely."

Bi Ji's lips curled into a pure, innocent, and healing smile.

"In fact, the feel might even be better than before!"

(P. S.: Guys, give me some advice! How do I subdue Qian Renxue? And who should the main character eat first?)
