Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Black Dragon, I am the Lord of the Gods

Chapter 216 What if I could have another one?
……

"what is this?"

Hearing the commotion, Zi Ji, who was cultivating at the bottom of the lake, came up to check the situation.

"Amusement park." Xuanming replied without looking up, engrossed in setting up the barbecue grill in front of him.

Ah Yin had mentioned to him before that the world of soul beasts was monotonous and boring, so long that it had no end. For hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years, nothing changed at all.

Most low-level soul beasts have very low intelligence. All they think about every day is cultivating and running around to survive. They never think about the meaning of life.

As cultivation levels gradually increase, the intelligence of spirit beasts will also slowly grow.

However, most soul beasts only truly possess intelligence comparable to humans after reaching a cultivation level of 100,000 years and successfully passing the first Heavenly Tribulation.

The saying "Troubles and suffering all stem from wisdom" is indeed true.

A fool would never know what troubles are; only a wise being can truly feel the joys and sorrows of life.

After reaching a cultivation level of 100,000 years, Ah Yin could no longer bear the emptiness and loneliness, so she resolutely chose to transform into human form and enter the human world.

A 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast is like a prisoner released from prison, full of curiosity about the human world, just as humans are full of desire to explore the unknown world.

Once that impulse, suppressed for tens of thousands of years, erupted, even knowing that the human world was fraught with danger, they still couldn't suppress their inner desires and wanted to find out for themselves.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion is a special auspicious beast that is born with intelligence, but the soul beasts around her are not.

Only these ferocious beasts possess the wisdom to communicate with her; however, these beasts are all busy with their own cultivation and have their own matters to attend to.

Although the Three-Eyed Golden Lion is revered as an auspicious beast of emperors, it is like a left-behind child, rarely seeing its closest companion, Bi Ji.

Despite having lived for over five thousand years, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's mind remains that of a child due to its unchanging living environment.

Zi Ji strolled around the ice and snow amusement park with great interest, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "It looks quite interesting. I didn't expect you to have this skill."

"If you're interested, you can go in and play with them," Xuanming said while flipping the meat on the grill. "It's more fun with more people."

"Why aren't you going?" Zi Ji sat down beside him, her gaze fixed on Xuan Ming.

Xuanming neatly placed the sliced ​​meat on the barbecue grill and said, "Hungry."

"This is so troublesome, can't we just eat it directly?" Zi Ji frowned and said.

Xuanming took a small plate, placed a portion of roasted meat on it, carefully cut it, added a small fork, and then handed it to Ziji.

Murasaki took the plate with some skepticism, then used her fork to pick up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth to taste it.

"Hmm?" Zi Ji's expression changed slightly.

"After eating this kind of thing, how could you still swallow those bloody things?" Xuanming asked.

Zi Ji didn't say anything, silently finished the roasted meat on her plate, and then stared intently at Xuan Ming.

Xuanming's eyes twitched slightly, and he prepared a few more portions for Ziji.

All his seasonings are the best natural plant and fruit ingredients, prepared for him by Tang Yuehua. He can just sprinkle them on the meat when grilling.

It's hard to go from extravagance to frugality. Unless he's starving and has no other choice, he simply can't eat those kinds of random things.

"Here's some dipping sauce." Xuanming placed the freshly prepared dipping sauce in front of Ziji.

Use a fork, not your hands.

"What's it to you?" Zi Ji stuck out her tongue, licked the sauce off her fingertips, and then glared at Xuan Ming threateningly.

Xuanming shrugged slightly and remained silent.

During this time, he also gained a general understanding of the situation of these ferocious beasts. Bi Ji, Zi Ji, and Xiong Jun were actually acquainted when they went to compete for the auspicious beast five thousand years ago, when the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was born. Before that, they all lived in their own territories and did not interfere with each other.

However, due to the birth of auspicious beasts, Di Tian chose to gather these ferocious beasts together, especially the group of soul beasts led by Bi Ji.

Although Brigitte herself is not strong in combat, she gathers a large number of powerful ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts through her healing abilities.

More than half of the ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts in the southeast of the Star Dou Great Forest can form a beast tide to attack whenever Bi Ji needs them!

Because of Biji's influence in this region, even Di Tian has to consider her opinions in many places.

These ferocious beasts gathered together not only because of the auspicious beasts, but also because of the soul beast group led by Bi Ji. A long time ago, they captured an ice silkworm with a cultivation of over 900,000 years. The existence of that thing led to the birth of over a hundred high-level ten-thousand-year soul beasts with a cultivation of over 50,000 years in that soul beast group.

Previously, Di Tian had been sleeping in the Lake of Life and was unaware of this matter, but during the competition for the auspicious beast, Di Tian discovered the existence of the ice silkworm.

Then, Di Tian snatched the Ice Silkworm to the Lake of Life, where the ferocious beasts and the ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts that surrounded it could also absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth emitted by the Ice Silkworm to improve themselves.

When Zi Ji first came to compete for the auspicious beast, she had not yet reached the age of 200,000. It wasn't until a thousand years ago, with the help of the auspicious beast, that she survived the 200,000-year tribulation and became a ferocious beast.

Biji explained to him that Ziji spent most of her time in seclusion cultivating, and that the nature of the dragon race was well-known. Furthermore, she rarely interacted with others, which made her appear somewhat aloof and cold. However, given his special circumstances, Ziji's attitude towards him was relatively friendly.

As Xuanming was pondering, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and Biji, having smelled the fragrance, returned from the Ice and Snow Paradise.

She stared at him longingly.

Xuanming, who was about to take a couple of bites, felt a wave of exhaustion and had no choice but to prepare a portion for Biji and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

Brigitte took the plate, gently sniffed the aroma of the roasted meat, and said with a smile, "Thank you."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion wasn't so particular and reached out to grab the roasted meat, but Xuanming stopped her with chopsticks and gave her a small fork instead. "Use this."

"Oh." The three-eyed golden lion used its claws to pick up the small fork and began to eat, imitating Brigitte.

"Auntie! This is so delicious!"

"This is delicious too!"

The three-eyed golden lion ate with its mouth full of oil, mumbling incoherently while still forking another piece of freshly roasted meat with its fork.

Seeing Xuanming busily turning the meat over the grill and preparing plates and utensils for everyone, Biji felt a little impolite. She took a few graceful steps to Xuanming's side, picked up a piece of grilled meat with a fork, and offered it to Xuanming's mouth, saying, "Thank you for your hard work."

Xuanming was slightly taken aback. "Thank you."

Xuanming took a bite of the roasted meat with the fork handed to him by Biji. After being busy for half a day, Master Xuan finally got to eat his first hot bite.

Seeing this, Zi Ji's expression became somewhat unnatural. She stood up, picked up a piece of roasted meat, and fed it to Xuan Ming, saying, "Here you go."

Xuanming was slightly taken aback. "Thank you."

As he spoke, Xuanming habitually took a bite of the roasted meat.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was happily eating nearby when it saw Bi Ji and Zi Ji bringing food to Xuan Ming. It tilted its head and imitated them, moving closer to Xuan Ming and picking up a piece of roasted meat. "Xuan Ming, you should eat too."

Xuanming's expression was somewhat unnatural, with a bad premonition, but he still took a bite of the roasted meat in front of him. "Thank you."

However, before he could even swallow the roasted meat in his mouth, his bad premonition came true.

Biji, Ziji, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and three pieces of roasted meat were served again!

Brigitte smiled gently.

Murasaki glared at her menacingly.

The three-eyed golden lion looked on expectantly.

After a brief silence, Xuanming used his unique advantage, employing his other two mouths to eat the three portions of roasted meat that were fed to him.

"Thank you."

"..."

"Hahahahaha!"

"As expected of my little brother! You're so talented!"

Below the Lake of Life, the Ice Dragon King nearly burst out laughing at the sight.

Whenever faced with such a difficult choice, Xuanming always manages to forcefully resolve it in ways she never expected!

Seeing this, the Silver Dragon King's lips curled up slightly. "How about another one?"

"What would he do?"

The Ice Dragon King stopped laughing. "You'll see soon enough."

As soon as he finished speaking, a blue light suddenly emanated from Xuanming's body, and the Blue Silver Emperor Vine stretched out. Ah Yin also materialized into a phantom and jumped out, saying, "Let me help you."

As she spoke, Ah Yin revealed a sly smile, picked up a small plate, and served Xuan Ming a portion as well.

Seeing this, Zi Ji and the others seemed to be competing with each other and started feeding them again.

Four servings!

Xuanming took a deep breath, and under the varied gazes of the others, a tranquil white light suddenly spread out.

Biji and the others felt a sudden darkness before their eyes, and when they came to their senses, Xuanming had already eaten all four portions of roasted meat.

"Thank you."

"..."
