Chapter 141: The Pitiful Imperial Beast And Xu Jiawei’s Ambition
“Burp~ Burp~ Burp”
“Hic~ ~ ~ ~”
On the way to the Star Dou Great Forest Core Area, all the mixed circle soul beasts could hear that thunderous hiccuping sound. In the past, if any person or beast made such a big commotion in the mixed circle, they would have been taught a lesson by the beast kings living in the mixed circle, turning them into beasts or humans.
And the beast king closest to the hiccuping sound—the Six-Winged Demonic Tiger, that unlucky one who got blasted by Xuan Ziwen with one shot in the original work—even if given ten times the courage, it wouldn’t dare to go over.
It clearly sensed two extremely terrifying auras right beside it, auras that were clearly from the Core Area’s Chi Wang and Xiong Jun.
“Why are Chi Wang and Xiong Jun hanging out together?”
“Shouldn’t Chi Wang be protecting the Imperial Beast?”
This left the Six-Winged Demonic Tiger a bit confused, unable to figure it out, so it simply stopped thinking about it.
It vigilantly scanned the surroundings, confirmed no beasts were peeking, then quietly opened the Magic Net to continue reading the post it had found a while ago.
The huge black head revealed a ferocious smile, with bits of shredded meat still stuck on its sharp teeth; its overall appearance was the kind that could stop a child’s night crying.
And the post it was reading was one by the Magic Net user “Golden Chef”—that is, one written by Xia Die—titled “Dragon and Flower,” a novel.
With beautiful rhetoric, delicate emotions, and a gentle writing style, it attracted countless readers on the Magic Net. Whether soul beasts or humans, they were all urgently urging for updates in the comments below.
Some even gave the poster the title of “Novel Douluo.”
However, what infuriated countless readers was that this poster extremely liked to drop updates! Many of their articles didn’t even have endings!
It was precisely because the Magic Net belonged to Huo Yuhao, with Tian Meng Ice Silkworm, Golden Tortoise, Su Tong, Snow Empress, and others constantly monitoring the Magic Net backend to ensure everyone’s information security.
Otherwise, Xia Die would have long been doxxed by someone.
Even to this day, many people in the comment section were discussing various details in her articles, trying to pinpoint Xia Die’s real identity through those details, determined to find her and make her write endings for all her stories.
This Stop-Motion Challenge left the masses of the Douluo Continent utterly tormented.
The Six-Winged Demonic Tiger also had mixed feelings of love and hate toward this “Golden Chef”; it truly loved this “Dragon and Flower” and silently prayed that she would finish it.
Others might not see it, but these beast kings of the Star Dou Great Forest spotted it at a glance: the prototypes of the two protagonists were Di Tian and Ten Thousand Demon King.
This was also why it was reading it stealthily, afraid of others finding out.
If this got exposed, it would have to eat Di Tian’s Ten Thousand Dragon Flames.
“‘Golden Chef,’ ‘Dragon and Flower,’ you better not drop the ending on me again.”
“If you don’t write it, you better pray you don’t get caught by Lord Tiger.”

“Xiong Jun, you drank so much?”
“You okay?”
Beside them, Chi Wang’s three heads and six eyes stared at Xiong Jun chugging the cola in his hand like crazy.
Xiong Jun put down the bottle in his hand, waved nonchalantly at Chi Wang, and said:
“What could be wrong with me?”
“Just some sugared water, that’s all. If this stuff could give me problems, I wouldn’t need to hang around in the soul beast world.”
“Might as well let Heavenly Tribulation strike me dead.”
Chi Wang nodded confidently; it had no doubt about that. They were all super fierce beasts—what could give them problems?
Xiong Jun was about to open another bottle, but seeing only twenty bottles of cola left, he regretfully withdrew his hand.
Quite a few of these still needed to be shared with the other fierce beasts, especially the bulk to be given to Di Tian.
Xiong Jun then patted Chi Wang’s back and said:
“Three heads are great! So many ideas!”
“I think you’re smarter than Ten Thousand Demon King.”
“That bastard’s head is full of sneaky schemes all day, always wanting to stir up trouble, and now he’s thinking every day about how to lick the Lord.”
“You actually thought of trading with humans through the Magic Net.”
“And humans actually kept their word, really delivering the goods.”
“I took a look, and there seems to be quite a bit more than expected.”
Hearing Xiong Jun’s praise, Chi Wang proudly raised its three heads, its tail burning with Hellfire swinging like a propeller.
It was clear Xiong Jun’s words pleased Chi Wang very much.
Chi Wang’s three heads spoke at the same time, their three voices overlapping precisely.
“Of course.”
“Ten Thousand Demon King’s title as the Core Area’s strategist is just for laughs.”
“Every plan he comes up with for others harms both them and himself, just never himself.”
“In my view, it’s just that he’s lived longer than me, with a bit more experience, which made him the Core Area’s strategist.”
Xiong Jun nodded in full agreement. Among the fierce beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest, he disliked Ten Thousand Demon King the most.
Di Tian was strong, and as a dragon, he was upright and honorable, true to his father’s bloodline. After defeating it, he really didn’t take its life and even gave it some cultivation resources—truly worthy of the “Beast God” name.
Bi Ji was even better, needing no extra salt; all the soul beasts in the entire Star Dou Great Forest revered her.
The beast kings of the Star Dou Great Forest had all received her favors to some extent.
Zi Ji was too young, the youngest among the fierce beasts, so no comment.
Chi Wang was loyal and honest as a beast, with no bad intentions—simply straightforward.
In short, among all the fierce beasts, Ten Thousand Demon King had the most cunning mind.
To think, during his weak years to grow stronger, he spent a thousand years nurturing his good neighbor Spirit Grass, weaving a gentle trap for it, and finally cruelly devoured it.
This story was even known to humans.
Regardless of right or wrong, Xiong Jun simply disliked that kind of behavior.
So he had always been wary of this sinister colleague. If he ever bared his fangs at the fierce beasts of the Lake of Life, it would unhesitatingly use Sky Tearing Claw.
Xiong Jun had no desire to become the next “Spirit Grass”; he’d rather die by Di Tian’s hand than become Ten Thousand Demon King’s nutrient.
The two beasts moved very quickly, and with their familiarity with the Star Dou Great Forest, they soon arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest Core Area.
The ordinary soul beasts following behind them were trembling a bit; this place was full of beast king auras everywhere.
Seeing this, Chi Wang let out a low roar, dispersing those auras for them and signaling them to follow.
The ordinary soul beasts behind gratefully glanced at Chi Wang, dragging the supplies tightly behind him.
When had these ordinary thousand-year and ten-thousand-year soul beasts ever had a chance to come to the Core Area before?
This place was a holy land in the hearts of soul beasts! Being able to live in the Core Area was like green smoke rising from their ancestral graves.
“Xiong Jun, Chi Wang, what’s this?”
A stunning woman with emerald green hair and emerald green eyes, dressed in a water-green long skirt, appeared beside them.
It was none other than Bi Ji, ranked fourth among the Ten Great Fierce Beasts.
Bi Ji now looked at them two in confusion, along with the soul beast caravan behind and the large amount of supplies.
Chi Wang proudly raised its three heads and said to Bi Ji:
“These are what I traded for from humans with Dream Coins. They were quite trustworthy and didn’t deceive us.”
Xiong Jun nodded in agreement, extending a hand to gesture for Bi Ji to check out the supplies.
Hearing it was supplies traded from humans, Bi Ji immediately became interested. Her bare feet lightly touched the soil as she went to the soul beast caravan’s side.
Those ten-thousand-year soul beasts sensed the rich life aura and immediately realized this was the legendary Lady Bi Ji.
Bi Ji gently stroked their heads, green light scattering over them, driving away the fatigue from transporting the supplies.
All the soul beasts slightly lowered their heads, emitting low calls—this was their gratitude.
Bi Ji came to the supplies, glanced over, then took a box of spice from a wooden cart, sniffed it, and her emerald green eyes lit up slightly.
Immediately after, she found many women’s dresses in a cart behind—clearly prepared by Xu Jiawei and Xu Jiujiu for the female fierce beasts.
Bi Ji even saw some low-level soul tools further back, mostly glowing soul tools.
Bi Ji had long seen the wonders of soul tools on the Magic Net and carefully picked one up to play with in her hand.
Recalling how to use it from the Magic Net, she slightly infused soul power, and the soul tool in her hand immediately lit up.
Bi Ji’s green eyes curved slightly; she really liked these novel little gadgets.
She had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, each year unchanging, but the Magic Net’s appearance added color to life, and now these novel soul tools made her look forward to the future even more.
“So interesting.”
“Who came up with this? Great idea.”
Chi Wang’s three heads couldn’t help but huff lightly, a proud look on its face.
Bi Ji smiled at it and said:
“Not surprising, coming from you.”
Seeing Bi Ji like this, Xiong Jun and Chi Wang breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, as long as Bi Ji was satisfied, Di Tian probably wouldn’t say anything, and they two could continue trading with humans.
Xiong Jun still wanted to buy cola in large quantities from the humans.
Chi Wang glanced at the supplies and said to Bi Ji:
“There are quite a few here for the Core Area’s beast kings. Everyone come out and get yours.”
Admiration showed in Bi Ji’s gaze; she thought Chi Wang was very thoughtful, so she immediately sent a message in the Core Area beast king group.
“May the Forest No Longer Be Hurt”: “Everyone in the Core Area, Chi Wang brought a lot of supplies from the human world. Come take a look. (Sending location)”
Soon, the Core Area beast kings, hearing about human world supplies, all gathered at the spot.
“What’s this? Looks a bit like the soul tools on the Magic Net.”
A hundred-thousand-year level heavenly dragon horse fiddled with a small soul tool below with its hoof, letting out a crisp female voice full of surprise.
She lived in the Core Area year-round and had basically never come into contact with human soul tools.
Even if she had seen them before, they were broken ones.
“This is spice? Smells pretty good.”
The Cave Demon Spider Emperor, who was knocked out by Di Tian last time, hooked a spice box with its spider leg, examining it closely.
“So many books! And works by ‘Golden Chef’ too!”
A hundred-thousand-year Emerald Jade Azure Bird Emperor’s eyes lit up as it looked at the cart full of books ahead, constantly flipping through with its wings and looking at the titles on the covers.
“Star Luo Empire Travelogue, Konoha Village Chronicles, Root Legend, Don’t Bully the Young Poor, Kill That Titled Douluo………”
“Books not on the Magic Net!”
Many beast kings stretched their heads toward the cart with all the books.
Ever since the Magic Net appeared, they had grown fond of these novels and biographies, but the Magic Net only had scattered short stories, with no long serialized ones yet.
In a sense, this was a kind of cultural invasion; the upper echelons of the Star Dou Great Forest Soul Beast Clan were gradually coming into contact with human culture through the Magic Net and now this trade.
Human culture was indeed a Dimensional Strike for soul beasts in the savage wilderness.
Soul beasts with dull lives simply couldn’t resist these novel cultures; they were actively embracing them.
The dozen or so beast kings who gathered around began distributing the supplies, and Bi Ji set some aside for those who hadn’t come.
At that moment, a dragon roar suddenly came from the sky, and one black and one golden figure appeared beside Bi Ji.
The golden figure was the Three-Eyed Golden Lion who had just sneaked to the mixed circle to live stream.
This little one got reported; some soul beast saw the live stream and secretly private messaged it to Di Tian on the Magic Net.
Di Tian was furious and immediately captured this Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
“Damn it! Who reported me?! I’ll roast its brains and eat them!”
Di Tian’s face darkened as he harshly knocked the Three-Eyed Golden Lion’s head and said:
“You be good!”
“You’re the most restless one in the entire Star Dou Great Forest!”
Then the surrounding beast kings reacted, half-kneeling to Di Tian:
“Beast God!”
Di Tian waved his hand, telling them to stand, then he saw the pile of clearly human world supplies.
Doubt showed in his golden eyes as he looked at Bi Ji, Chi Wang, and Xiong Jun and said:
“These are human things?”
“Where did you get them from?”
Bi Ji smiled lightly and explained the origins of these supplies to Di Tian in detail.
Amid Xiong Jun and Chi Wang’s anxiety, contemplation appeared in Di Tian’s golden eyes.
Chi Wang’s action had indeed opened a whole new line of thinking for him.
These days through the Magic Net, Di Tian had indeed seen the rapid development of the human world.
Due to the Magic Net’s anonymity, some in the Sun Moon Empire, to earn traffic and rewards, even live streamed soul tool manufacturing and held little soul tool classes.
Even someone in the army posted pictures of Level Eight Soul Tools.
After all, soul tools belonged to the state, but traffic and Dream Coins were their own.
Who would turn down money?
Through these posts and live streams, Di Tian realized the Soul Beast Clan seemed to have fallen far behind the world, and Chi Wang made him understand he could actually trade with humans to some extent.
Anyway, his own Lord had gone to the human world, so buying some human world items didn’t seem like a big deal.
Unlike the original work, after the Magic Net’s information impact, Di Tian was very interested in soul tools.
So Di Tian said to Chi Wang and Xiong Jun:
“You can continue trading with humans. If Dream Coins run out, I have plenty here; no use keeping them.”
“But remember! Absolutely no letting humans into the Core Area!”
“That’s my bottom line!”
Di Tian’s golden eyes turned into Dragon Pupils, staring at Chi Wang and Xiong Jun.
The two beasts breathed a sigh of relief; they knew Di Tian supported this.
Xiong Jun patted his furry chest and said:
“I’m not stupid.”
“How could I bring humans to the Core Area?”
“This is the holy land of the Star Dou Great Forest!”
Di Tian nodded, also walking to the soul tool cart, casually picking up some soul tools, then to the nearby book cart, carefully searching.
He quickly found some books related to soul tools.
After grabbing his stuff and about to leave, he saw the Three-Eyed Golden Lion nearby trying to hide.
Di Tian thought for a moment, recalling a parenting post on the Magic Net:
“Kids misbehave mostly from idleness!”
“More study and they’ll behave.”
Di Tian weighed the soul tool books in his hand, thinking of the many soul tool production videos he had favorited on the Magic Net.
Amid the Three-Eyed Golden Lion’s terrified expression, he picked her up and said:
“Perfect, books here, and I have videos too.”
“How is there such a coincidence in the world?”
“From today, you study soul tool knowledge at home properly.”
“Eight hours a day; no going out or using Magic Net until done!”
Hearing Di Tian’s words, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was utterly done for, all three eyes bulging wide.
“No, you can’t do this!”
“I don’t want to study!”
“Why would soul beasts study soul tool knowledge? That’s human stuff!”
“Chi Wang, save me!”
“Imperial Beast?” (No Compassion)
Chi Wang watched from the side, all three heads expressionless, but Xiong Jun beside him could clearly see Chi Wang’s mouth being forcibly suppressed.
“Hold it! Hold it more!”
“Don’t laugh!”
If Di Tian weren’t still there, it would have burst out laughing.
For it, the Imperial Beast studying was great! No more following her around every day; it could leisurely browse novels and videos at home while drinking cola.
That was the life a beast king should experience!
Finally, the betrayed Imperial Beast was dragged away by Di Tian in reluctance; her future life probably wouldn’t be easy.
After Di Tian left, the dozen beast kings continued distributing supplies.
Xiong Jun and Chi Wang exchanged a glance and sent a string of messages to “Star Luo Empire Royal Family.”
“Continue the transaction with increased quantity! Add two million on top of the one million Dream Coins!”
…………
Star Luo City Royal Family
Xu Jiawei was currently in the Hall of Offerings receiving his weekly checkup from Medical Immortal Douluo Wang Xian’er.
After all, as the head of the Star Luo Empire, his health was extremely important.
Seeing the Magic Net message, he couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Wang Xian’er beside him looked at Xu Jiawei in doubt and said:
“What’s making you so happy?”
Xu Jiawei said to this core powerhouse of the Star Luo Empire:
“Remember a while ago I had Jiujiu deliver supplies to the Star Dou Great Forest?”
The white-haired old woman nodded; as deputy Hall Master of the Hall of Offerings, she naturally knew about it.
“Did those fierce beasts message?”
Xu Jiawei nodded, smiling at her:
“Exactly!”
“They want to increase the transaction quantity.”
The Medical Immortal Douluo, having lived long and being powerful, quickly figured out why Xu Jiawei was so happy.
“I see.”
“Looks like that Beast God in the Star Dou Great Forest personally spoke; he must have allowed the trades.”
A glint appeared in Xu Jiawei’s azure blue eyes as he said:
“To be honest with you.”
“If the trades go smoothly this year, next year for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament in Star Luo City, I want to invite these fierce beasts to watch.”
“Others may not know, but I’ve seen in the royal family’s treasured classics that fierce beasts can transform into human form.”
The Medical Immortal Douluo paused, her tone somewhat surprised.
“You’re willing to go that far?”
“If Shrek finds out, they’ll probably make a huge fuss.”
Xu Jiawei shook his head and said:
“No choice; through the Magic Net, I’m constantly tracking Sun Moon Empire news—their army expands every year.”
“The Level Eight Soul Tools and even Level Nine Soul Tools in their army are weapons beyond my imagination!”
“Star Luo Empire is no match!”
“This is a very dangerous signal!”
“We can’t put all our eggs in one basket!”
“Shrek Academy may not be reliable; the Star Dou Great Forest fierce beasts are a turning point!”
“You know Di Tian’s strength.”
“Others don’t know, but we human leaders do?”
“On the continent, who can defeat Di Tian?”
“So, if Di Tian is willing to help, I’m even ready to make him the Star Luo Empire’s real-power Imperial Advisor!”
The Medical Immortal Douluo was shocked by Xu Jiawei’s boldness, her tone slightly trembling as she said:
“If the world finds out, you’ll be labeled a human traitor.”
Xu Jiawei waved his hand and said:
“I don’t care; as emperor, I prioritize the empire’s survival first.”
“Titles and such don’t matter.”
“The Sea God from ten thousand years ago could marry a soul beast; what’s wrong with Di Tian as Imperial Advisor?”
Di Tian didn’t know that the Star Luo Empire was already considering making him Imperial Advisor.
If he knew, he’d probably feel a bit awkward, because his own Lord was currently in a small city in the Heaven Soul Empire, working like an ox and horse, planning to climb up the human hierarchy step by step.
If he really became a national Imperial Advisor and met his Lord, how awkward would that be.
What would Di Tian say?
“Lord, you’ve finally come!”
“Look, everyone from Star Dou Great Forest has been waiting for you!”
“We’ve long infiltrated the human upper echelons!”
If this really happened, Di Tian would truly fear his Lord suddenly shutting down and slipping back to the Lake of Life.
Using spiritual power to seal himself off from the outside world, refusing to come out no matter what.
