[The Hell Demon Dragon King, also known as Zi Ji, is the Clan Leader of the Hell Demon Dragon clan.]
[A rising star of the Dragon Clan, ranked ninth among the Ten Great Vicious Beasts, with over two hundred thousand years of cultivation. She is one of the pure-blooded True Dragons, possessing the Yin Water attribute and powerful devouring abilities.]
[The story of this Zi Ji takes place during the Douluo World 3 and Douluo World 4 periods; let me explain briefly.]
[The Douluo World 2 period is ten thousand years after Douluo World 1, the Douluo World 3 period is ten thousand years after Douluo World 2, and Douluo World 4 is ten thousand years after Douluo World 3. Yes, that's right, it's like a set of nesting dolls.]
[The protagonists of Douluo World 3 are Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena. The protagonists of Douluo World 4 are Lan Yuxuan and Bai Xiuxiu. Lan Yuxuan is the son of Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena, while Bai Xiuxiu is a hundred-thousand-year cultivation sea Soul Beast, a Devil Spirit Great White Shark.]
[When writing about Zi Ji, I must mention Bi Ji. Their relationship as sisters is similar to that of the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress. Their final outcome was naturally the same as well; both became Spirit Souls.]
[Zi Ji became Bai Xiuxiu's Spirit Soul, and Bi Ji became Lan Mengqin's Spirit Soul.]
[Of course, this time no lilies were planted.]
See?
Zi Ji and Bi Ji were both startled. That was close! Our hearts were in our throats just now.
The Ice Empress and Snow Empress looked bewildered.
No way?
Can we still be dragged out and mocked like this?
[Zi Ji...—...]
Spirit City.
In Spirit City, Huo Wu and the others watched Liam write about Zi Ji, but they discovered a clue within.
Meng Yiran said:
"No wonder Liam often complained before; the descendants of the Tang Clan really do love Soul Beasts."
Hearing this, Huo Wu and her group all rested their chins on their hands and looked at Xiao Wu.
Is there something special about Soul Beasts?
I don't see it!
Xiao Wu said nervously, "What... what are you all looking at me for?"
Everyone shook their heads slightly.
"Nothing."
"We just wanted to see if there's anything special about Soul Beasts, but we didn't find anything."
"Maybe those with the surname Tang just have a special fondness for Soul Beasts."
Xiao Wu was speechless!
Crown Prince's Mansion.
Qian Renxue and Hu Liena were having dinner. Qian Renxue suddenly found the real point and said:
"It seems Gu Yuena is about to have another great general under her command."
"What?"
Hu Liena looked puzzled.
Qian Renxue explained, "Bai Xiuxiu!"
"A hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast transformation, the female protagonist of the Douluo World 4 period. Since they've gone to Sea God Island, how could they not meet?"
"Mm!"
Hu Liena nodded, thought for a moment, and suddenly blurted out, "If we're talking about who's impressive, I think Liam is the most impressive."
Qian Renxue's expression turned strange. "You'd better clarify exactly how he's 'impressive'."
Hu Liena laughed. "I didn't mean that. I mean Liam is impressive because he... he took down Tang San's entire family."
"Including Tang San's enemies, the mother and two daughters of the Spirit Hall's Pope."
"Aren't the mother and two daughters of Spirit Hall the three of us? Nana, what nonsense are you talking about?" Qian Renxue tapped Hu Liena's hand with her chopsticks in annoyance.
So.
As for this issue, Gu Yuena and the others soon realized it too.
After dinner.
After Gu Yuena and the others went back, they began to discuss the matter of Bai Xiuxiu. It wasn't because of Zi Ji's Spirit Soul situation.
Rather, Gu Yuena and the others were thinking the same thing as Qian Renxue—they wanted to expand their advantage by Liam's side and recruit more sisters to join them.
However.
This matter was difficult from the start because, as the soul beast co-lord, Gu Yuena didn't know who Bai Xiuxiu was or where she was!
Ah Yin looked at Gu Yuena, hesitated, and called out, "Lord, I feel like we should probably give up on this Bai Xiuxiu."
"She only appears in the Douluo World 4 period, and she's a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast transformed into a human. Right now, she's probably just a little shark..."
Zi Ji, Bi Ji, and the others also nodded heavily.
It's too hard.
At this time, Bai Xiuxiu is still just a little shark, blowing bubbles at home. In this vast ocean, where could they possibly find her?
The Ice Empress analyzed, "Normally, Bai Xiuxiu should definitely have a diary instance, but—given her current cultivation..."
"She probably doesn't have enough intelligence yet to obtain a diary instance."
"No matter!"
After some thought, Gu Yuena said, "It's impossible for us to find her ourselves. But if I order the Devil Spirit Great White Shark clan to search, we can find her easily."
"There is currently a hundred-thousand-year Devil Spirit Great White Shark King in the ocean. I have already ordered her to come find me. I believe she will arrive soon."
"This?"
Ah Yin and the others still felt something was off.
What we'd find now is White Bubble! A little shark that can only blow bubbles. How can she be given away for nothing?
Even if Liam's Dragon Essence can help her improve quickly, still! We can let Ah Yin swap with the Ice Empress, but we can't swap in a shark to fool Liam, right?"
Gu Yuena said calmly, "This matter will be handled by that hundred-thousand-year Great White Shark. We will continue with what we need to do."
"Ah Yin, will Liam come to see you tonight?"
Ah Yin shook her head gently. "Tonight... tonight I'm resting and recovering."
As she spoke, she glanced at the Ice Empress. This time, the Ice Empress didn't say anything.
The Ice Empress was no longer so bold.
Ding!
[Diary, recording a beautiful Transmigration life.]
[Rewards distribution—]
[Congratulations to the Host for receiving the reward: All spirit ring ages increased by one thousand years.]
[Congratulations to the Host for receiving a random reward: Spirit Power increased by one level.]
Ding!
[Instance rewards distribution: Congratulations to the Hell Demon Dragon King for being mentioned most frequently in the Diary. Reward: Cultivation increased by ten thousand years.]
[Congratulations to the Hell Demon Dragon King for having her name randomly selected in the Diary. Random reward: shapeshifting pill.]
[Congratulations to the Emerald Swan for becoming a lucky viewer. You may customize a Diary-related theme once.]
"Ah!"
Seeing the reward from the diary instance, Bi Ji was instantly overjoyed and said:
"Lord, it's finally my turn! I'm getting a reward too."
Gu Yuena was also happy and said:
"That's wonderful."
"After the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress, you and Zi Ji have also received the shapeshifting pill reward. Things are getting better and better for us."
The others also nodded heavily.
Ah Yin said with a smile:
"Then once all four sisters have received their Level 30 rewards, your true Spirit Power will all reach the standard of a First-Class God."
"Ah Yin congratulates the four sisters in advance."
Hearing Ah Yin's words, the four of them also laughed happily.
As they laughed, their expressions began to freeze one by one, feeling that something wasn't quite right.
"Lord, the diary instance rewards for today have all been distributed. Why haven't we seen the Ice Empress's hidden reward?"
"Yeah!"
"Where did the Ice Empress's hidden reward go?"
As Zi Ji and Bi Ji spoke, they turned their gaze toward Ah Yin.
The Snow Empress's expression was complex as she analyzed the situation in her mind.
"Wait..."
Gu Yuena looked at the Ice Empress and also felt bewildered. Is this really giving it away for nothing?
