I Have Plenty of Strength and Tricks!

Fu Xi went home.

He returned to the Lake of Life carrying a book as large as his head.

"Young Master, you're back!"

Di Tian knelt respectfully on one knee. Having returned and waited for some time, he naturally knew that Fu Xi had most likely gone off somewhere to play again.

He just hadn't expected him to be gone for nearly two days this time!

"Uncle Di Tian?"

"I told Sister Bi Ji before that I was going to do a mission."

"You're already back!"

Fu Xi casually tossed the book onto the Auspicious Beast's head, then happily reached out and helped Di Tian up.

"I did not fail your trust!"

Di Tian beamed as he watched Fu Xi pull him up with all his strength.

"Young Master, I have brought back all your playthings. As for Shrek Academy, I guarantee they won't notice a thing!"

Di Tian spoke with confidence.

To complete the Young Master's first mission, he had even brought that sinister fellow, the Myriad Demon King, along!

With that old schemer around, the mission had naturally been a piece of cake!

"Thank you, Uncle Di Tian!"

"Thank you for bringing me toys!"

Fu Xi gratefully patted Di Tian's stomach.

"It is my duty!"

Di Tian's complexion grew even more flushed. He wished he could immediately die on the battlefield for the Young Master!

"Young Master, step back a little. I will release your playthings at once!"

Under Fu Xi's expectant gaze, Di Tian waved his sleeve!

Several girls of vastly different charms were released before him!

Fu Xi looked over eagerly!

The first was Zhang Lexuan, wearing a purple coat over a black top and a black silk skirt, staring solemnly at the crowd of... beasts!

Next came the teary little Xiao Xiao, along with the slightly older Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan, all of whom looked fearfully at Di Tian in his black robe.

Finally, Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochan, one red and one blue, remained utterly uncooperative even now!

Separated from one another, both watched Di Tian in the black robe warily!

"Where are the toys?"

Fu Xi blinked and looked expectantly at Di Tian's sleeve.

"Ahem, Young Master, these are the people you asked for."

Fine beads of sweat suddenly appeared on Di Tian's forehead. Oh no! Had he really forgotten someone?

The Young Master wanted other people too?

"There aren't any toys..."

Fu Xi pouted, but he did not reject Di Tian's good intentions.

"Who are you?!"

"Why did you have this person capture us? Release us now!"

"My master is the dean of Shrek Academy!"

Seeing that Di Tian appeared so respectful toward a child, the most hot-tempered Ma Xiaotao was the first to demand answers!

"Big brother... Xiao Xiao doesn't taste good. Xiao Xiao's meat has already gone bad. Please don't eat Xiao Xiao, okay?"

Xiao Xiao, dressed in a little green skirt, cried miserably as well.

"Silence!"

Di Tian's expression turned cold, and Ma Xiaotao, whose face now bore an additional mark, was suddenly sent flying!

How dare she disrespect the Young Master? She had some nerve!

"Xiaotao!"

Zhang Lexuan cried out in alarm and immediately summoned her martial soul!

"Who gave you the courage to act so presumptuously before the Young Master?!"

Di Tian's gaze shifted, and Zhang Lexuan immediately coughed up blood!

Her martial soul was directly shattered by Di Tian as well!

"Listen carefully, you trash!"

"Standing before you is the one and only... no, one of only two godly masters of the soul beast world!"

"All you need to do is serve him well and keep him company."

"This is your only chance to survive."

Di Tian shouted coldly!

Those damned humans had nearly made him utter words disrespectful toward his Lord!

"I agree! Can you bring my mother here too? My mother is sick and needs someone to care for her..."

Though her body trembled, the blonde girl with rabbit ears still insisted on finishing her request.

"Bring her over. The Young Master has a gentle nature and will not hold such a thing against her."

Bi Ji spoke up on Jiang Nannan's behalf.

"Young Master?"

Di Tian said nothing and simply waited for Fu Xi's instructions.

"Ah?"

"Oh, okay, let's do as Sister Bi Ji says!"

Fu Xi stroked his chin and pretended to think for a moment before waving his little hand!

"Big brother... me too... never mind."

Xiao Xiao, who had wanted to bring her parents here too, suddenly froze.

Right, her parents were neither sick nor injured. Why bring them here? So they could be pets with her?

Having loved reading storybooks since childhood, Xiao Xiao easily understood her current situation.

Seeing that everyone seemed to have accepted their circumstances, Bi Ji smiled softly and waved her hand, treating Ma Xiaotao's injuries.

"Children, we bear you no ill will. Although Fu Xi is... the Young Master of the soul beasts, he has looked like a human child since he was young."

"He needs human companionship."

"His Lordship has already said that after ten years, all of you may leave this place."

Bi Ji explained gently.

And in Gu Yuena's view, ten years would be enough for Fu Xi to gain at least some ability to protect himself before the gods.

"Zhang Lexuan, is it? His Lordship's intention is for you to teach Fu Xi some common human knowledge, but you must not slip in any private agenda. What Fu Xi learns every day will be inspected."

"You may not understand, but today may be the greatest opportunity of your life. Do not ruin it for yourself."

Bi Ji looked at the eldest girl and warned her.

"I understand."

Zhang Lexuan gave Ling Luochan, whose slender figure stood not far away, a complicated look and bit her lower lip. Ma Xiaotao had also fallen into an infant-like sleep.

She nodded in agreement.

Things had come to this, and she had no other choice.

"Sister Qiuer, why didn't Mother find you any playmates?"

"Is it because you weren't good?"

Seeing that the matter was settled, the innocent-looking Fu Xi opened his crimson eyes wide and asked the Auspicious Beast with suppressed laughter. His words were full of provocation!

"Endure it!"

I can't beat him! I absolutely have to endure it, Gu Qiu'er!

The Auspicious Beast clenched her claws and viciously scratched furrow after furrow into the ground!

"Bastard! A beast may be killed, but never humiliated!"

"Awoo!"

The Auspicious Beast leaped up in fury and fiercely pinned Fu Xi beneath her butt!

"That tickles~"

Fu Xi laughed merrily, reaching out to grab Gu Qiu'er's large tail as it tickled him.

"Hmph! I'm not like those delicate humans. I have plenty of strength and tricks!"

The Auspicious Beast smiled smugly, lowered herself, held Fu Xi firmly in place with her butt, and continued rubbing her tail against his body.

"Mmm~ Hehehe~"

Fu Xi wriggled about while giggling foolishly...

"Is he really a soul beast?"

Ling Luochan's expression was complicated. How was Fu Xi any different from an ordinary three-year-old child right now?

"Di Tian, let me handle things here."

Seeing this, Bi Ji spoke helplessly.

Di Tian nodded, and his figure slowly vanished.

No one noticed the faint doting smile at the corner of his lips.

"Mm... First, build yourselves a house."

"To be honest, your strength is not yet enough to play with the Young Master. What you need to do is build a small society around him."

"And teach him some basic common sense while you're at it."

Bi Ji's gentle voice rang beside everyone's ears.
