Silver Dragon King

The Auspicious Beast tilted her head. Finding nothing amiss, she stopped pressing him and said with concern:

"Good. Di Tian, you're the Beast God. I still need you to protect me.

So take care of yourself. Don't hide anything—if something's wrong, go straight to Aunt Bi Ji."

"I will." Di Tian smiled and nodded. The Auspicious Beast really was a dear.

After that, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King went to the Lake of Life.

He had something important to do there.

"My lord, I have something to report." Di Tian knelt on one knee.

On the Douluo Continent, only one being qualified to be called "my lord" by Di Tian: the Silver Dragon King, the half of the Dragon God who had inherited the Dragon God's wisdom.

The Silver Dragon King's voice rang out, distant and ethereal. "Di Tian, what is it?"

"My lord, I believe I've found something that may speed your recovery."

He meant the Pure World Overlord's Leg Gao Ren had created with his second Soul Skill.

Di Tian wanted to offer it to the Silver Dragon King because she had been gravely wounded in the great war in the Divine Realm.

Back then, the First-Generation Asura God had split the Dragon God in two with the Super Divine Artifact, the Asura Blood Sword, forcing him to become the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King.

That sword strike had left the Silver Dragon King with a wound that would not heal, forcing her to remain asleep while she recovered.

Di Tian's report piqued her interest.

But only a little.

After all, a God King-level enemy had wounded her with a Super Divine Artifact.

Even the Plane Master of the Douluo Continent would barely count as a speed bump before a God King... The Silver Dragon King did not believe Di Tian could find anything on the Douluo Continent that would speed her recovery.

"What is it?"

"My lord, please look." Di Tian, in human form, raised a tray bearing a Pure World Overlord's Leg.

"Di Tian, you woke me to show me a chicken leg?" Weariness filled the Silver Dragon King's voice. "It does smell rather good... Keep it for yourself."

Di Tian hurried to explain. "My lord, please hear me out. This isn't an ordinary chicken leg. It was created by a food-type Soul Master."

"A food-type Soul Master... A human?! Di Tian! You dare betray me!"

Di Tian's dragon brain went numb.

"No! My lord! I wouldn't! I haven't!" Di Tian shook his head frantically. "It's a gift the Auspicious Beast brought back. She made friends with a human!"

"The Auspicious Beast? Friends with a human?" The Silver Dragon King calmed down. "The embodiment of the Star Dou Great Forest's fortune has befriended a human. Who knows whether that's a blessing or a curse...

"A human who formed a bond with her must be quite extraordinary."

"You're right, my lord. He is extraordinary. He's only a Soul Grandmaster, yet his Soul Skill can affect even me."

Di Tian then described in detail what had happened when he ate the Overlord's Belly-Filling Leg, along with the effects of the various chicken legs.

"A Pure World Overlord's Leg? It can purify negative conditions?" The Silver Dragon King decided it was worth a try. "Very well. I'll test it."

The next instant, the Pure World Overlord's Leg vanished from the tray. It had evidently entered the space where the Silver Dragon King was hidden.

Inside, the Silver Dragon King, in human form, held the Pure World Overlord's Leg in her fair hand and began to savor it slowly.

In human form, she could better appreciate such a "tiny" delicacy.

"This... this chicken leg..." the Silver Dragon King exclaimed. "It tastes a little like the Phoenix God!"

As the Dragon God's other half, the Silver Dragon King had inherited his wisdom and some of his memories.

Of all his opponents, the one who had left the deepest impression was the Phoenix God.

Of course, this was not the Second-Level God position of Phoenix God that Ma Hongjun now held.

It was the True Phoenix, born of the Golden-Patterned Blue Demon Bird and the Silver-Patterned Blue Demon Bird—the Phoenix God who had stood on the same level as the Dragon God.

Even the mighty Dragon God had been gravely wounded in their battle, a testament to the Phoenix God's strength.

When divine beasts of different species fought, the loser was usually eaten by the winner.

And the stronger a divine beast was, the more delicious it tended to be.

The Phoenix God was the most delicious thing the Dragon God had ever eaten.

For the Silver Dragon King to say Gao Ren's Overlord Drumstick tasted "a little like the Phoenix God" showed just how delicious she found it.

"My lord, what about your injuries? Has anything changed?" Di Tian did not care whether the Pure World Overlord's Leg tasted good. How could that compare to the great cause of reviving the dragon race?

"They're improving, but the change isn't obvious."

The moment she finished speaking, Di Tian pulled more than a hundred remaining Pure World Overlord's Legs from his Storage Soul Tool and suspended them in the air with Soul Power.

Seeing his urgency, the Silver Dragon King wasted no time. She returned to her true form and inhaled the chicken legs in a whirlwind.

"Di Tian, where is that human friend of the Auspicious Beast's? Bring him to me at once!"

Di Tian felt helpless.

"My lord, that won't be easy."

"Won't be easy? What do you mean?" The Silver Dragon King seemed to realize something. "Di Tian, is he from Shrek Academy?"

Di Tian nodded. "He's also the disciple of a deputy pavilion master of the Sea God Pavilion."

The Silver Dragon King fell silent for a few seconds. "Shrek Academy can make contact with that place. That does make things difficult.

"Taking him by force probably won't work.

"Has anyone besides the Auspicious Beast met him?"

"Scarlet King," Di Tian replied. "Scarlet King has always guarded the Auspicious Beast. He was the one who told me she'd made friends with a human."

"Then send him to negotiate with Shrek Academy. As long as the Auspicious Beast's friend supplies me with large quantities of Pure World Overlord's Legs over the long term, Shrek Academy can name its price... provided its demands aren't excessive."

"Scarlet King, I have an important task for you."

"An important task? What could be more important than guarding the Auspicious Beast?"

Silver Dragon King: How dare you!

"I want you to negotiate with Shrek Academy."

Negotiate?

Negotiate what?

We haven't even launched a Beast Tide lately, have we?

Why would we negotiate?

And isn't negotiating Bi Ji's job? Why has it fallen to me?

"My lord needs a large, steady supply of Pure World Overlord's Legs," Di Tian said seriously. "Since you know the Auspicious Beast's friend fairly well, I recommended you to her."
