Zi Ji Leaves, Found You!

"Oh ho ho ho ho~"

"Little man, the service was good. This King is very satisfied!"

"I now declare that you are officially a qualified Demon Dragon Guard."

Zi Ji put on her purple dress, a lingering flush still gracing her face as she looked at Qin Jiuxiao with eyes full of satisfaction.

Qin Jiuxiao scoffed, glancing at her sideways.

"I never expected my blood to have such side effects."

"Also, whether I'm small or not, someone knows clearly. I don't know who it was just now calling me Dragon Lord."

"Pulling up your dress and refusing to acknowledge the person? You're a scumbag, no, a scumbag dragon!"

Qin Jiuxiao rose and walked to the coffee table to pour two glasses of water, handing one to Zi Ji. It was important to replenish fluids after exercise.

Zi Ji took the cup, her fingertips tracing his palm.

Tsk, this little succubus.

If the others weren't still in the bathroom, he would definitely have subdued this enchantress.

"Jiuxiao, I have to return to the Star Dou Forest."

Zi Ji held the cup, her gaze fixed on the tea leaves floating up and down.

Qin Jiuxiao was stunned for a moment.

They had cultivated quite a bond during this time, and they had just shared an even more intimate relationship.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't reluctant to let her go.

"Did the Silver Dragon King order you back?"

Qin Jiuxiao narrowed his eyes; if that were the case, he would have to settle the score with that fellow later.

Zi Ji shook her head, looking up at Qin Jiuxiao with love swirling in her eyes.

"My heavenly tribulation is approaching, and I must return to undergo it."

"My cultivation was originally 290,000 years, and I was still some time away from the 300,000-year mark."

"But that drop of your blood seems to have pushed my cultivation directly past 300,000 years."

At this, Zi Ji gave him a resentful, sidelong glance.

"Are you confident about the tribulation? If not, I'll go back with you; perhaps I can help."

She set down her cup and gently pushed Qin Jiuxiao onto the sofa, straddling his lap.

Zi Ji wrapped her arms around Qin Jiuxiao's neck and kissed him deeply.

"I'm already happy that you care about me."

"I didn't have much confidence in this tribulation originally, but after absorbing that drop of your blood, I have about seventy percent certainty."

"Your blood contains the Power of Heavenly Tribulation, which has given me more resistance against it."

Qin Jiuxiao held her waist and nodded thoughtfully.

"Then let me give you a few more drops. Would that increase your chances?"

Zi Ji smiled and shook her head, leaning her head against his chest.

"You're only around the Soul King level right now; more blood won't do much. Wait until you become stronger."

"Besides, there's a 'power bank' over in the Star Dou Forest. I'll just go back and take a few bites of its meat."

Hearing this, Qin Jiuxiao's expression turned strange.

"Are you talking about that Tianmeng Iceworm?"

"You know about it?"

Zi Ji gave a sheepish smile, though she was more surprised that Qin Jiuxiao knew everything.

The Tianmeng Iceworm had only been captured by them a few years ago.

"Of course. There isn't much on this continent that I don't know."

"By the way, bring me a few pieces of ice-worm meat next time. I haven't tasted what a million-year-old ice worm tastes like yet."

Qin Jiuxiao licked his lips; he was being honest.

He really did want to know if it was delicious.

"Fine, I'll bring you some when I come back next time."

"Once I finish the tribulation, my strength will advance further. By then, I won't even fear a 98th-rank peak Douluo."

"While I'm gone, I've already contacted a good friend to come and protect you."

"Her name is Bi Ji, and she's a great beauty, too."

Zi Ji's eyes held a smile. Staying by Qin Jiuxiao's side accelerated her cultivation, and even a single drop of his blood had such miraculous effects.

Naturally, she wanted her good friend to enjoy it as well.

Qin Jiuxiao, of course, knew of Bi Ji—the matriarch of the Emerald Swan clan.

She possessed 560,000 years of cultivation.

With incredibly powerful healing abilities and vitality, she was an exceptionally gentle and kind soul beast.

Even though humans held prejudices against soul beasts in the later years, they held her in high regard.

In terms of combat, she might not have overwhelming offensive power, but she was no weaker than an average Super Douluo or even a peak Douluo.

Zi Ji placed a dragon scale into Qin Jiuxiao's palm.

"This carries my aura. Bi Ji will follow it to find you."

Zi Ji gave her instructions with rare tenderness. If the others in the Star Dou Forest saw this, their jaws would likely hit the floor.

Was this really the same irritable Hell Demon Dragon King?

Qin Jiuxiao examined the scale, subconsciously bringing it to his nose to sniff.

"Hmm, smells like milk."

Zi Ji's face turned bright red in an instant, and she punched him in the chest in annoyance.

"You pervert!"

Qin Jiuxiao chuckled, grabbed her hand, and kissed it deeply.

"Stay safe."

Zi Ji nodded and stood up.

She turned to look at Qin Jiuxiao one last time, pursed her lips, and then leaped out the window, disappearing into the street.

Qin Jiuxiao stroked the still-warm dragon scale and carefully stored it away.

He took a deep breath to steady his emotions.

He opened his system panel and looked at the information displayed.

His soul power had now broken through the 50th rank, and he had obtained the fifth seven-colored entry from Xiao Wu.

This reminded him of Tang San, the Son of Destiny.

He hadn't expected that fellow to only drop a red entry; although it was a causality-level one, it was still only red.

It seemed his previous hypothesis had been slightly off.

These seven-colored entries were all obtained from the beauties with the strongest destiny.

If he wanted to obtain more seven-colored entries, he would have to make contact with more beauties of destiny.

But before that, he also needed to find those with powerful destiny to collect more entries and gain soul power.

He still had to pay a visit to Shrek Academy.

After thinking it through, Qin Jiuxiao slowly closed his eyes and began to condense his fifth soul ring.

If his intuition was correct, this fifth soul ring might be related to the sword.

Elsewhere, while Qin Jiuxiao and the others were immersed in cultivation.

Hu Liena had also made inquiries through various channels and arrived at the gates of the Qin family estate.

She slowly curled her lips into a smile, her eyes filled with charm.

"Young Master of the Qin family, Qin Jiuxiao, found you!"
