Seeing Qiu'er's submissive 'do with me as you will' appearance, Kong Mingan couldn't help but complain in his heart. Should he say that as expected of dragons, her thought process was just as strange as the Dragon King Young Miss's?
His gaze lingered slightly on Qiu'er's humiliated yet stubborn expression, but Kong Mingan ultimately held back, deciding to bully the Dragon King Young Miss later to make up for it. He then spoke, "I'm here to ask if you want to go back to the Star Dou Great Forest with me."
Qiu'er was stunned upon hearing this, blinking her beautiful red eyes. The resolute expression on her face froze slightly, but then, as if she had thought of something else, she blurted out, "You—you don't want me to wear that maid outfit back there, do you?!"
Kong Mingan: "——"
Seriously, why are all your thought processes so strange?
Kong Mingan fell into deep thought.
Star Dou Great Forest, Core Zone.
The core zone of the Star Dou Great Forest was now vastly different from the past. A small island had appeared in the center of the once-quiet Lake of Life. On the island, a small tree about three to four meters tall, flowing with golden brilliance, was growing vigorously, emitting a thick Aura of life and tranquility. A bit further away, on the shore of the Lake of Life, stood a giant tree hundreds of meters tall, shimmering with a soft silver radiance—this was the "silver radiance tree." Inside this silver radiance tree, within a bright and spacious hollowed-out room, a middle-aged man dressed in black martial attire with a domineering and awe-inspiring temperament stood by the window with his hands behind his back. He looked down at the vibrant scene below, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes.
Di Tian had to admit that since his Lord signed the contract with that chamber of commerce president, the current Star Dou Great Forest had undergone earth-shaking changes. Setting other things aside, in terms of top-tier combat power alone, the forest's strength had skyrocketed. Vicious Beasts like the Scarlet King and Bear Lord had switched to the path of a "Body Cultivator" after their successful transformation, and their progress was lightning-fast, making them exceptionally powerful. Among them, the Bear Lord was the most ridiculous. After his successful transition, he once sparred with Di Tian before Di Tian himself had switched paths. Without using the Dragon God Claw, Di Tian actually found it difficult to take him down for a while, nearly ending in a draw. Of course, after Di Tian also switched his cultivation, the situation reversed, and he could suppress that Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear with one hand. One could only say his foundation was indeed profound, but this was enough to prove the power of the Body Cultivator system. He heard that recently, the Bear Lord had even joined an organization called the "Blacksmiths Association" on the Spiritual Pivot Network, becoming obsessed with researching metal forging. He spent all day tinkering with pure hand-forging—well, for the Bear Lord, it really was "hand-forged," using his indestructible Darkgolden Terrorclaws as forging hammers.
Meanwhile, the Ten Thousand Demon King and Bi Ji chose to become Spell Cultivators. Now, the Ten Thousand Demon King's spiritual perception range was enough to cover the entire Star Dou Great Forest, greatly ensuring the internal stability and safety of the forest. Many deeply hidden Evil Spirit Beasts were accurately found and dealt with by him, showing equally massive progress.
Of course, the most important factors were the two sapling seeds that had been planted. The silver radiance tree allowed them to freely log into the "Spiritual Realm," where they could fight each other without any reservations to increase their strength and explore the use of their own power. The Golden Tree sapling was even more incredible; since it was planted, the Star Dou Great Forest seemed to have received special favor from the plane will. Similar to the effect Qiu'er brought of accelerating Spirit Beast growth, the entire Star Dou Great Forest was favored by the plane will, and the growth speed of all Spirit Beasts had significantly increased, which was quite absurd. Finally, with the deep cooperation established with the Mingmeng Chamber of Commerce, the phenomenon of human Spirit Masters hunting Spirit Beasts had drastically decreased. Everything seemed to be heading in a positive direction.
"It's all thanks to the agreement the Lord reached with that person..."
Di Tian sighed softly in his heart. Initially, they all thought that trading with a human chamber of commerce would inevitably lead to the Star Dou Great Forest losing out, but they hadn't expected the other party's trade terms to be surprisingly fair. Even after investigating and comparing later, they found that the pricing for various resource exchanges and technical support was reasonable, and they hadn't taken advantage of the situation. This kind of "perfection" actually made them a bit skeptical.
After all, the other party provided not only massive amounts of cultivation resources but also a brand-new cultivation system that could free them from the troubles of the Heavenly Tribulation.
This debt of gratitude was simply impossible to repay. If the Lord hadn't personally vouched for it, he would definitely have thought the other party harbored ill intentions. In short, looking at it now, reaching a cooperation with the chamber of commerce was a correct decision.
As Di Tian was thinking, a soft sound of footsteps came from behind. A figure dressed in an emerald-colored long dress with a gentle and refined temperament quietly appeared, naturally leaning against Di Tian's side. "Why did you come out of the'Spiritual Realm' so early today?"
Di Tian nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "A guest is coming today."
"A guest?" Bi Ji looked puzzled.
Di Tian nodded without much explanation and led Bi Ji out of the tree hollow to a huge plaza specially cleared beneath the silver radiance tree. At this moment, many figures had already gathered on the plaza. The leading two were one dressed in a golden beast-skin vest, with a towering and extremely robust build and bulging muscles; the other had hair as red as fire, with a similarly tall and mighty build and a fierce Aura. The figures gathered around them were almost all without exception physically powerful, with vigorous blood Qi naturally radiating from them, causing the surrounding temperature to rise. Clearly, they were all Spirit Beasts who had taken the path of a Body Cultivator after transforming.
For the Soul Beast Clan, who were relatively more straightforward by nature, the fist-to-flesh system of the Body Cultivator was very popular. Therefore, over seventy percent of the Spirit Beasts who transformed into humans chose to be Body Cultivators as their cultivation system and were exceptionally satisfied with it.
Everyone gathered in twos and threes to talk. Seeing Di Tian and Bi Ji appear together, the crowd on the plaza cast respectful gazes. Di Tian nodded slightly, led Bi Ji to a certain spot, and continued to wait.
At a certain moment, the space in the center of the plaza rippled again. Under everyone's watchful eyes, two figures stepped out of the ripples one after another. Walking in front was a gentle-looking youth, and following behind him was a golden-haired, red-eyed girl of peerless beauty. Notably, the youth was naturally holding the girl's hand, and the girl's expression was normal, without any sign of being coerced. Everyone's gaze first fell on the youth with a bit of caution, then moved to their joined hands, their eyes becoming somewhat subtle and strange. Finally, everyone's gaze drifted toward Di Tian.
In response, Di Tian looked at the two hands held together and fell silent for a moment, then his brow couldn't help but twitch. Di Tian slightly suspected that this chamber of commerce president was here to provoke him.
