"Ohohohoho~"
"Little man, your service was excellent. I am very satisfied!"
"I now declare that you are a qualified Demon Dragon Guard."
Zi Ji put on her purple dress, a lingering blush still on her face. Her eyes were full of satisfaction as she looked at Qin Jiuxiao.
Qin Jiuxiao clicked his tongue and shot her a sidelong glance.
"I never expected my blood to have such a side effect."
"Also, whether I'm little or not, someone knows perfectly well. I wonder who kept calling me Dragon Lord just now."
"You put your dress back on and immediately deny everything. Scummy woman—no, scummy dragon!"
Qin Jiuxiao got up, went to the coffee table, and poured two cups of water. He handed one to Zi Ji. After exercise, it was important to replenish fluids promptly.
Zi Ji accepted the teacup, her fingertips lightly hooking against Qin Jiuxiao's palm.
Tsk, this little seductress.
If the others had not still been in the bathroom, he would definitely have subdued this demoness.
"Jiuxiao, I'm going back to the Star Dou Forest."
Holding the teacup, Zi Ji lowered her gaze to the tea leaves drifting up and down in the cup.
Qin Jiuxiao was stunned as well.
Over this period, Zi Ji and he had developed quite a bit of affection for each other. Moreover, the two now shared an even more intimate relationship.
It would be a lie to say he was not reluctant to part with her.
"Did the Silver Dragon King tell you to return?"
Qin Jiuxiao narrowed his eyes. If that was the case, he would have to properly deal with that fellow later.
Zi Ji shook her head and looked up at Qin Jiuxiao, love flowing through her eyes.
"My heavenly tribulation is about to arrive. I have to go back and undergo it."
"My cultivation was originally 290,000 years. I still had quite some time before reaching 300,000 years."
"But that drop of your blood seems to have directly pushed my cultivation past 300,000 years."
As she said this, Zi Ji shot him a resentful look.
"Are you confident about the heavenly tribulation? If not, I'll go back with you. Maybe I can help."
She set down her teacup, gently pushed Qin Jiuxiao onto the sofa, and straddled him.
Zi Ji wrapped her arms around Qin Jiuxiao's neck and gave him a deep kiss.
"I'm already very happy that you care about me."
"I originally did not have much confidence in this heavenly tribulation, but after absorbing that drop of your blood, I now have a seventy percent chance."
"Your blood contains the Power of Heavenly Tribulation, giving me greater resistance to heavenly tribulation."
Qin Jiuxiao held her waist and nodded thoughtfully.
"Then if I give you a few more drops of blood, can you gain a few more chances of success?"
Zi Ji smiled and shook her head, tilting her head against his chest.
"You're only around a Soul King right now. No matter how much blood you give me, it won't have much effect. We can talk about it once you become stronger."
"Besides, there's a power bank in the Star Dou Forest. I can just go back and take a couple bites of its flesh."
Qin Jiuxiao's expression turned somewhat strange at that.
"You mean that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm?"
"You know about it?"
Zi Ji smiled awkwardly, but she was even more surprised that Qin Jiuxiao seemed to know everything.
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had only been captured by them a few years ago.
"Of course. There aren't many things on this continent that I don't know."
"By the way, bring me a few pieces of silkworm meat next time too. I've never tasted what a million-year silkworm tastes like."
Qin Jiuxiao licked his lips. He was telling the truth.
He genuinely wanted to know whether it tasted good.
"Alright. I'll bring you some when I come back next time."
"Once I get through the tribulation, my strength will advance further. By then, I won't fear even a level 98 peak Douluo."
"While I'm away, I've already contacted my best friend to come protect you."
"Her name is Bi Ji, and she's a great beauty too."
A smile flickered in Zi Ji's eyes. Staying by Qin Jiuxiao's side would accelerate one's cultivation, and even a single drop of his blood had such miraculous effects.
Naturally, she had to let her best friend enjoy it as well.
Qin Jiuxiao naturally knew Bi Ji too. She was the leader of the Emerald Swan clan.
She had a cultivation of 560,000 years.
She possessed immensely powerful healing abilities and life force, and was an exceptionally gentle and kind Soul Beast.
Although humans later held prejudices against Soul Beasts, they still respected her greatly.
In battle, she might not possess particularly powerful offensive strength, but she would not be weaker than ordinary Super Douluos or even peak Douluos.
Zi Ji placed a dragon scale in Qin Jiuxiao's palm.
"It carries my aura. Bi Ji will follow it to find you."
Zi Ji gave him a rare gentle reminder. If those fellows in the Star Dou Forest saw her like this, their jaws would probably drop.
Was this really that violent Hell Demon Dragon King?
Qin Jiuxiao examined the scale and subconsciously brought it to his nose for a sniff.
"Mmm, it smells milky."
Zi Ji's face instantly flushed red, and she punched his chest irritably.
"You pervert!"
Qin Jiuxiao chuckled, grabbed her hand, and gave it a deep kiss.
"You have to come back safely."
Zi Ji nodded and rose to her feet.
She turned around and gave Qin Jiuxiao one final look, pursed her lips, then leaped out through the window and vanished into the street below.
Qin Jiuxiao gently stroked the dragon scale, which still retained her warmth, and carefully stored it away.
He took a deep breath and calmed his emotions.
He opened his system panel and looked over the information displayed there.
[Host: Qin Jiuxiao] [Age: 12] [Martial Soul: Desolate Ten Fiends] [Soul Power: Level 50+ (Will be revealed after condensing the fifth Soul Ring)] [Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Nine-Nether Ink Qilin (Ten Fiends Qilin and Hell Spirit Cat)] [Domain: Domain of the Ten Fiends] [Soul Bone: None] [First Soul Skill (Heavenly Horned Ant): Ultimate Power!

His Soul Power had now broken through level 50, and he had obtained a fifth Seven-Colored Trait from Xiao Wu.
That made him think of Tang San, that child of destiny.
He had not expected that fellow to produce only a red trait. Although it was a causality-level trait, it was still only red.
It seemed his previous speculation had been somewhat off.
These Seven-Colored Traits were all obtained from beautiful women with the strongest current destiny.
If he wanted to obtain other Seven-Colored Traits, he would need to come into contact with more beautiful women blessed by destiny.
But before that, he also needed to find those with powerful destiny, gather more traits, and gain more Soul Power.
He still had to make a trip to Shrek Academy.
Having figured it out, Qin Jiuxiao slowly closed his eyes and began condensing his fifth Soul Ring.
If his senses were correct, this fifth Soul Ring might be related to swords.
Elsewhere, while Qin Jiuxiao and the others were immersed in cultivation.
Hu Liena had also made inquiries in many places before arriving at the entrance of the Qin Family.
A smile slowly curled across her lips, her eyes brimming with allure.
"Young Master of the Qin Family, Qin Jiuxiao—I found you!"
