Chapter 202: Sea God Pavilion Meeting, Yan Shaozhe’s Strange Feeling
Di Tian stood at the Lake of Life laughing towards the sky, and the loneliness of hundreds of thousands of years instantly vanished into thin air.
Learning that besides himself and Zi Ji, there were actually so many Dragon Clan members who had survived, this news truly excited him immensely.
This also made Di Tian more determined to promote Soul Spirit Technology, creating a turning point in the relationship between humanity and the Soul Beast Clan.
This time, it was not only for the Soul Beast Clan, but also for his own selfish reasons; he wanted to improve the situation for those clan members he had never met.
Di Tian had no right to judge the merits and faults of the Dragon God; he was part of the Dragon God Guard and had received many boons from the Dragon God, so he did not want to judge the Dragon God.
All he could do was protect the Soul Beast Clan well, allowing them to board the great ship heading to the future and not become a cold footnote in history.
Seeing this situation, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion realized it was a good opportunity and lightly stepped back, gradually shielding Di Tian and Bi Ji behind her.
“Hee hee, good opportunity!”
“I must escape!”
Watching his own body gradually moving away from the two, Di Tian still did not turn his head, seemingly still immersed in joy and unable to extricate himself.
At this moment, the Imperial Beast seemed to see victory right in front of her eyes and wished she could open a bottle of champagne to celebrate on the spot.
Just as the Imperial Beast’s foot stepped out of the wet and soft soil of the Lake of Life, Bi Ji’s figure suddenly disappeared not far away.
The golden-haired girl’s bright red eyes suddenly contracted.
“Where’s the person?!”
“Where?”
“Could it be!”
As if reflecting what the Imperial Beast was thinking, a pair of clean white and tender hands suddenly appeared on her shoulders, then pressed down tightly.
“Guess who I am?”
“Little Imperial Beast?”
“Why are you in such a hurry to leave?”
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion’s entire body was trembling, sweat dripping from her delicate chin, her pupils shaking!
“This, this pressure!”
“Am I drenched in sweat?”
“Oh no, Bi Ji sister is really angry!”
Her neck made creaking sounds like a robot, slowly turning her head to look.
Then Bi Ji’s face with a dangerous smile suddenly filled her entire field of vision. Although she had prepared herself mentally, the Imperial Beast was still startled.
“Wah!”
Hearing the commotion from afar, Di Tian also turned his head and walked over slowly.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion swallowed her saliva; with the Black Dragon in front and the swan behind, she realized she truly had nowhere to hide.
“Um, if I say I want to go back and do homework, will you believe me?”
Bi Ji gently pressed the Imperial Beast’s shoulders and said:
“Of course I believe you.”
“Little Imperial Beast.”
“But before that, shouldn’t we settle the score for you sneaking out of home?”
The golden-haired girl’s gaze dimmed a little; she figured she was doomed today.
Di Tian’s Black Dragon Leather Belt plus Bi Ji’s healing ribbons—she was probably in for some serious punishment today.
“Alright, Bi Ji, let her go.”
“No beating this time.”
Bi Ji was utterly confused at this moment; she really wanted to ask if Di Tian was clear-headed. She had prepared to assist him, so why no beating now.
Weren’t these lines usually said by her?
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was also somewhat baffled; she seriously suspected that Di Tian and Bi Ji had mixed up their scripts.
“You want to go to the human world?”
Di Tian looked at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, his tone gentle.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said:
“I want to go.”
Di Tian took out a black Dragon Scale and handed it to the Imperial Beast, saying:
“You can go.”
“But you must carry this Dragon Scale.”
“I will contact the Lord and send you to the Lord’s side.”
“Don’t get too happy too soon; you still need to learn Soul Tool knowledge, and I will check your studies regularly.”
“If you fail the exam, I will drag you back to the Star Dou Great Forest.”
“Understood?”
Excitement appeared on the golden-haired girl’s face as she hurriedly nodded in agreement. Regardless of the future, at least Di Tian had agreed to let her go to the human world.
“Good!”
“I agree!”
Di Tian pointed at her nest and said:
“Go back and finish today’s homework first.”
“Tonight, I’ll take you to Shrek City to meet the Lord.”
“Of course, if the Lord disagrees, you must come back.”
“No negotiation on this.”
The golden-haired girl happily trotted back to her nest; she wasn’t worried at all whether Mistress Sister would agree.
The other party was very approachable; as long as she acted cute, everything would be fine.
After the Imperial Beast left, Bi Ji on the side asked puzzledly:
“In the past, you wouldn’t let her go to the human world.”
“Why this time…”
Di Tian looked at the Lake of Life rippling with the breeze and said:
“The times are different now.”
“Keeping her locked up will only make her rebellious heart grow stronger.”
“Better to guide than block; let her see the development of the human world.”
“She’s been protected too well by us; it’s not a bad thing for her to see the true face of this world outside.”
“Besides, the Lord is on the Heaven Dou Plain; how could anyone on the Douluo Continent harm the Imperial Beast right in front of the Lord?”
“That piece of Black Dragon Reverse Scale can also protect her well.”
Bi Ji nodded lightly, her soft voice mixing with the breeze into Di Tian’s ears.
“As long as you have a plan, it’s fine.”
“That child is indeed too naive about this world; let her go see it.”
“By the way, when you saw that White King earlier, did your heart move?”
Bi Ji’s last sentence carried a hint of danger as her palm rested on Di Tian’s waist. Di Tian’s body suddenly stiffened, then he smiled and said:
“She does extremely match the Dragon Clan’s aesthetics; if it were a hundred thousand years ago, I might have tried to court her.”
“But now, forget it.”
Bi Ji satisfactorily withdrew her palm and said:
“I’m going to the mixed zone to heal a few injured Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.”
“Contact me via Magic Net if there’s anything.”
Afterward, Bi Ji flapped her emerald green wings and left the Core Area, heading to the mixed zone.
Leaving Di Tian alone quietly gazing at the Lake of Life ahead.
………..
“You guys over there, be careful with your movements.”
“This Soul Tool Machine Tool is worth twenty million Gold Soul Coins!”
“A good portion of that money came from your Martial Soul Department!”
Several students wearing Shrek Inner Court uniforms heard Xian Lin’er’s words and paused, then became even more careful.
Twenty million Gold Soul Coins—these Inner Court students began to suspect if this thing was made of Soul Bones; it was so expensive!
Because the Soul Tool Department was short on manpower, Xian Lin’er casually pulled a dozen or so strong workers from the Shrek Martial Soul Department Inner Court disciples to help out.
Helping to install these Soul Tool Machine Tools shipped from Xilu City.
Thanks to the latecomer advantage, this batch of Soul Tool Machine Tools was more advanced than before, with even more precise Core Formation Array inscriptions.
Plus the Soul Tool Department, nearly a hundred students and teachers were busy in this factory, cooperating with technicians from Xilu City to install and debug these Soul Tool Machine Tools.
Qian Duoduo was stroking a Soul Tool Machine Tool in the distance like he was caressing a lover.
“My goodness, how did they come up with this thing?”
“Every detail from top to bottom is filled with beauty; the design of all structures is truly ingenious.”
Previously, he had only glimpsed a few in the Xilu City Soul Tool Factory; now, touching it personally and probing with spiritual power, he could clearly feel the value of this machine tool.
Nearby, Fan Yu and his disciple He Caitou were recording data on the Soul Tool Machine Tool.
“Xilu City probably isn’t taking the same Soul Tool route as us.”
“They’re racing ahead in machining precision; the parts making up this Soul Tool Machine Tool fit together with almost no error.”
“And the metal used in this Soul Tool Machine Tool isn’t particularly expensive.”
Fan Yu quickly saw the difference between Xilu City’s and Shrek’s Soul Tool routes.
Shrek Academy followed the Sun Moon Empire’s approach, using Core Formation Arrays and rare metals for power, without high precision requirements.
All parts of a Soul Tool were basically handcrafted by Soul Engineers, with precision relying purely on feel.
Xian Lin’er heard their conversation and said to them:
“So, which route do you think is right?”
Fan Yu touched the cold metal shell of the Soul Tool Machine Tool and said:
“They’re probably right.”
“The Soul Tool Revolution is irrefutable proof.”
Xian Lin’er nodded, not feeling surprised.
A while ago, she and Qian Duoduo had gone to Xilu City and, at Mu En’s request, observed their education methods, which gave the two a lot of inspiration.
“Alright, at the next Sea God Pavilion Meeting, I’ll propose subdividing Soul Engineers.”
“We didn’t notice before, but now it seems Soul Engineers are indeed a bit bloated.”
“Soul Engineers can at least be divided into three branches.”
At that moment, Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin’er’s Magic Nets showed message prompts. They opened them and saw it was from Mu En.
“Sea God Pavilion emergency meeting, everyone come to Sea God Island.”
“There’s an important meeting.”
Xian Lin’er stretched lazily and said:
“What a coincidence.”
“Let’s go, Duoduo.”
“Fan Yu, the installation of these Soul Tool Machine Tools is left to you.”
“Don’t let those little brats damage the stuff.”
“This stuff is expensive!”
Fan Yu gave a received gesture to the two deans.
“Rest assured, I’ll watch over here.”
Xian Lin’er manifested a pair of cyan flame wings on her back and soared directly towards Sea God Island, while Qian Duoduo activated his Flying Soul Tool and followed closely behind Xian Lin’er.
The two soon arrived at the top level of Sea God Island, pushed open the Sea God Pavilion doors, and were greeted by a long rectangular table with people seated on both sides.
Xian Lin’er and Qian Duoduo took seats at the far right end of the long table.
Mu En sat at the head, looking at the Sea God Pavilion members, then a mild voice sounded in everyone’s ears.
“Looks like everyone’s here.”
“This is a Sea God Pavilion emergency meeting, concerning the Shrek Academy reform.”
“Before that, allow me to introduce someone; actually, many of you here already know him.”
“Xiaoyao, come out.”
A tall old man with neatly combed silver hair and a ruddy complexion walked out from the shadows.
Many of the elders present had their pupils contract sharply.
Xuan Zi put down his chicken drumstick at this moment as Elder Song said gravely:
“Dragon Emperor Douluo, Long Xiaoyao.”
“So you’re still alive.”
Long Xiaoyao laughed a few times at Elder Song’s words, not minding her hostility; after all, when young, he had beaten Elder Song badly.
“You haven’t died yet, so how could I?”
The younger elders like Xian Lin’er and others were all shocked.
“It’s actually the Dark Saint Dragon of the Black and White Twin Saints Dragon!”
Compared to the shock of Xian Lin’er and others, Yan Shaozhe felt a strange bloodline pull; he found the old man before him very familiar, with an indescribable feeling.
Long Xiaoyao also looked strangely at Yan Shaozhe, feeling the other was somewhat familiar.
“Why do I feel this child resembles Xi Shui a bit?”
Yan Shaozhe was a descendant of Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao’s child, inheriting Ye Xishui’s Light Phoenix. I reread and found three settings in total across the segments, finally deciding the grandson fits best, though it’s still outrageous—Feng Ling is Yan Shaozhe’s old lover who later married Zhong Li Wu, this… what an ethical drama.
