Chapter 364 Brigitte's Predicament
"Little fox! How did you get in?" Brigitte asked gracefully as she sat on the wooden chair.
Ye Nanxiao gathered his nine tails together with his claws, using them as a pillow for the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and replied, "I have some special abilities in hiding. I was passing by Xingdou and decided to check on you. I happened to overhear some soul beasts discussing your internal affairs, saying that you were under house arrest, so I came to see if you needed any help."
"If even you can be placed under house arrest, then it's not impossible for something even more outrageous to happen."
Ye Nanxiao's answer was loaded with meaning, and Biji quickly understood.
Since he was being held captive by Di Tian, there was a possibility that someone might try to sabotage him in secret, since Di Tian only needed him to stay obediently in this pond.
In the Starry Sky, not all soul beasts are friendly to me.
Biji was somewhat surprised, not expecting Ye Nanxiao to take the initiative to help her, as she and Ye Nanxiao were not particularly familiar with each other.
Bi Ji was genuinely surprised that he would venture into this dangerous place on his own, and her gaze towards Ye Nanxiao softened.
"What are you planning to do?" Brigitte asked.
Ye Nanxiao habitually touched his chin, the flat feeling making him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
What are your plans?
Ye Nanxiao was currently at a loss. This was the core area of Xingdou. He was only able to sneak in silently thanks to the blessing of the god in Qiankun Wenqing Valley. Otherwise, he would have been discovered by Di Tian as soon as he appeared in the core area.
As the Silver Dragon King's best gatekeeper, Di Tian paid close attention to the core area of the Star Dou, especially the Lake of Life, which was right at the entrance to the Silver Dragon King's dragon nest.
Not only could Ye Nanxiao not use too much soul power in this area, but he also could not alert the other ferocious beasts. Under Di Tian's suppression, the ferocious beasts such as Xiong Jun and Chi Wang would definitely not go against Di Tian because of Bi Ji.
After all, having an excellent doctor and whether you will see the sun tomorrow are two completely different things.
Offending Bi Ji might allow one to find another healing-attribute soul beast, but offending Di Tian could mean being expelled from Xing Dou, which would be the least of one's worries. In more serious cases, all one's cultivation in this lifetime would be wasted.
"Is there any other information you can tell me? For example, why Di Tian placed you under house arrest?" Ye Nanxiao asked, crossing his legs.
"Can you turn back into your normal form? I mean, um, evolve into a human body?" Brigitte said, slightly averting her gaze.
A nine-tailed fox that can walk upright might not be considered amazing, but a nine-tailed fox that can not only speak human language, but also act very human-like, stroking its chin, crossing its legs, and tapping its feet to a strange rhythm, is a bit of an eyesore, even if the fox is very beautiful.
"If I change back, will I be discovered?" Ye Nanxiao asked.
Brigitte immediately understood, and with a slight clasp of her hands, a flash of emerald light appeared in the wooden house, and her aura emanated from her.
"Alright, I've already disguised my usual cultivation aura," Brigitte said.
With a thought, Ye Nanxiao dispelled his demonic form.
The silly auspicious beast sitting next to Ye Nanxiao, the three-eyed golden lion, had already fallen into a cool dream.
She had been longing for this perfect ice pillow for a long time.
"Well, the reason for the house arrest." Brigitte lowered her eyes.
"I refused Di Tian's request to be his partner, and he started to stop me from teaching the auspicious beasts. I'm also bored here, so I thought I'd go back to a small village I passed through years ago," Bi Ji said.
Ye Nanxiao rubbed his chin vigorously. It turned out that Di Tian, the black dragon, had failed in his courtship and, unwilling to give up, forcibly kept Bi Ji by his side.
He knows this trick like the back of his hand!
Isn't this just a story of a domineering CEO who is rejected by a commoner school beauty, tries to win her back, and eventually falls in love over time?
During this time, the female lead will be forcibly de-intelligented and fall into many inexplicable dangers. Then, the domineering CEO disregards his own safety and ventures alone into the danger, rescuing the female lead with an 18-centimeter wound. The female lead then feels guilty, and that's how their relationship begins.
"My God, what kind of amazing trick is this!" Ye Nanxiao shuddered.
However, upon closer reflection, as the overlord and manager of Xingdou in name only, it's not wrong to call Di Tian a domineering CEO.
"So, CEO Di Tian wants you to be his partner? You haven't agreed yet?" Ye Nanxiao asked, somewhat surprised.
It seems that Bi Ji was Di Tian's partner?
Biji shook her head and said, "What he wants is not me, but the many soul beast forces that follow me. If I leave Xingdou, some soul beasts will inevitably follow me, and then Xingdou's power will be lost. This is something Di Tian does not want to see. Another point is the dependence of the auspicious beasts on me."
"Wow? Di Tian's marriage is politically motivated? No wonder he's an old monster who's lived for 800,000 years! Looks like he's had a lot of dealings with humans." Ye Nanxiao exclaimed in amazement.
So it seems that some soul beast forces are unhappy about Di Tian's intention to marry Bi Ji. Is this the danger mentioned in the warning?
Ye Nanxiao quickly dismissed this guess.
Di Tian's overwhelming strength is undeniable; which soul beast force in the Star Dou realm is afraid of death?
Seeing that Ye Nanxiao was deep in thought, Biji did not disturb him. She sat quietly, her gaze curiously observing Ye Nanxiao.
His hair seems to have turned a bit whiter. Is it because of frequent battles?
The scent of the little fox always gives me the feeling of facing the Snow Woman. Is it because the little fox often sees the Snow Woman?
Biji had a thousand questions in her mind, the most concerning of which was the relationship between Ye Nanxiao and Xue Di.
On the shore of the Lake of Life.
Di Tian sat cross-legged facing the Lake of Life, his black robe exuding a powerful aura.
Behind Di Tian, a group of soul beasts stood silently, waiting for Di Tian to speak.
Bear King and Red King stood on either side, like two guards.
"Zi Ji, is Bi Ji still unwilling to come?" Di Tian suddenly asked.
A dragon girl in purple armor stepped out of the ranks, knelt on one knee, and said, "No, Sister Brigitte did not express any opinion."
"That means they don't want to come." Di Tian sighed softly.
"Very well, let Biji have some peace and quiet." Di Tian slowly stood up.
As Di Tian stood up, two dark figures emerged from the shadows of the surrounding woods.
"Your Excellency/Boss".
The sunlight gradually shone on the two figures, revealing their appearance.
A tree-man, and a young human with a smile on his lips.
"King of Ten Thousand Demons, Demon Spirits, how is the progress of the tasks I asked you to undertake?" Di Tian asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Demon King immediately said, "According to the reports from the soul beasts lurking in other forests, they have each found something precious and are trying to bring it back. However, in the Demon Forest, the entire army has been wiped out."
After the Demon King finished speaking, the most hot-tempered of them all, Xiong Jun, panting heavily, his claws gleaming coldly, said to Di Tian, "Your Majesty, why don't I go and teach that octopus a lesson! Let him know what's what!"
Red King twisted his three heads and glanced at Bear King. "We should teach that octopus a lesson."
"Yes! That's exactly what I meant!"
"You idiot, you were sent flying before you even reached the Demon Forest," the human youth mocked.
"You bastard! What did you say? Believe me or not, I'll tear you apart!" Xiong Jun's whole body erupted with murderous aura, and his bear claws were wrapped with some lightning.
Despite the bear's terrifying killing intent, the young human was not afraid at all and even provocatively beckoned to the bear.
Xiong Jun has a fiery temper, and upon seeing the demon spirit's provocation, he immediately raised his right claw.
However, just as Xiong Jun made a move, an even more terrifying killing intent locked onto him, and the faint sound of a dragon's roar echoed from above the starry sky.
Sensing Di Tian's imposing aura, Xiong Jun could only lower its right paw and droop its head, unwilling to accept defeat. It was no match for Di Tian.
"Demon Spirit, how's your progress?" Di Tian asked.
The demon said, "Boss, I've secretly taken control of a human city. In less than three months, I can take action against the next city and make them fight amongst themselves!"
After saying that, the demon revealed a wicked smile.
"Alright, but you shouldn't play around anymore. Focus on the mission of collecting valuable items." Di Tian nodded and said.
"Yes, boss!" the demon spirit nodded.
Di Tian turned around, looked at the group of soul beasts, and said, "Manage your respective areas well. No humans are allowed to appear. If you encounter any humans, eliminate them immediately!"
Di Tian is currently having some conflicts with Bi Ji. As the guardian of Xing Dou, he cannot allow humans to have any opportunity to take advantage of the situation, especially when there are cracks in their internal groups.
"Yes, Beast God." The group of soul beasts knelt before Di Tian. They were all clan leaders who owned a habitat on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Among the group of soul beasts, a silver-horned beetle silently clenched its claws, and in its eyes, faint black lightning-shaped patterns appeared.
"Di Tian, Di Tian, you've given me such a great opportunity! Hehehe."
The silver-horned beetle departed with the herd of beasts, and no soul beast noticed anything unusual about it, not even Di Tian.
"The Demon King still wants to interfere in my Demon Forest? Then let your people continue to come and never return!" The silver-horned beetle returned to its territory and became dazed.
A long, blurry figure flew out from inside the silver-horned beetle, and returned to its body a few seconds later.
This phantom was the octopus that Xiong Jun had mentioned earlier, the Evil Eye Tyrant who ruled the Demon Forest, and Di Tian's number one adversary.
Di Tian never expected that his number one opponent had a spiritual avatar lurking right under his nose.
In terms of cultivation level, the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler is slightly inferior to Di Tian, but in terms of spiritual power, the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler is far ahead of Di Tian.
"Bi Ji's jade swan has quite a few soul beasts following it. If something happens to it, Di Tian will have a real headache!"
"It's just that the place where that swan lives is guarded by that reptile, Murasaki, so it's not easy to get close."
"This spiritual avatar has been lying in wait for quite some time, originally intended to ambush Di Tian. Now perhaps it's time to use it elsewhere."
The silver-horned beetle, which looked as lifeless as a marionette, let out a strange laugh.
