In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Chapter 69 even evoked a little excitement.

That old bastard Di Tian pretended not to hear when I said I needed Zi Ji's help, and didn't even remind me. Now that I think about it, he probably had the intention of setting me up with Zi Ji, and wanted to use me as a shield? As for Zi Ji, considering how she barely absorbed the immortal herb earlier, and how she just told me to hurry up, she's probably already moved on from her troubles and isn't planning to bother Di Tian anymore. In that case, I might as well take this opportunity to tease her a bit.

"With my current status and position in the Dragon Clan, how could Zi Ji possibly kill me?" Zhu Wu thought to himself.

Anyway, I never thought that Zi Ji would actually agree, but if it happens, I'll get a beautiful wife and bodyguard for free, no loss! As for feelings, what feelings do I need?

Deep feelings will develop over time!

"." Zi Ji stiffened up and remained silent, seemingly regretting her previous unwise remarks.

It felt quite satisfying to make the usually aloof and arrogant beast Zi Ji suffer a setback. Zhu Wu smiled and said, "Alright, no need to be nervous. I was just mentioning it; if you don't want to, that's fine too. There's a saying among humans: forced melons are never sweet."

But it quenches thirst. That's something I definitely can't say. Zi Ji really doesn't dare to kill him, but it would be hard to find an opportunity to beat him up.

He still needs to learn skills from Murasaki.

"Don't resist, I'm about to begin." With that, he activated the Eye of Being, which had evolved into the Eye of Destiny.

His Eye of Life itself has the ability to see into the essence of living beings. After taking the Dew of Autumn Water, this ability becomes even more pronounced, and he can truly see through things!

A silvery light emanated from between his brows, and the scales in his vision blurred, revealing countless fine meridians through which soul power flowed.

The next second, strands of silvery-white soul power seeped out from his palms and seeped into the gaps between the scales.

Zhu Wu's eyes were tightly closed, a hazy light emanating from between his brows. His Eye of Destiny remained open, and his spiritual power, guided by his soul power, flowed rapidly in the same direction as Zi Ji's own soul power. At the same time, somewhere within his sea of ​​consciousness, a giant blue-purple dragon slowly took shape.

Not far away was a black dragon that was a thousand meters long, which was the Di Tian body that he had simulated with his mental power.

He also had the Red King's, but not the Bear King's or the Jade Princess's. His time was limited, so naturally he had to start with those he could reference.

Time passed slowly, and Murasaki's body remained tense throughout.

After an unknown amount of time, its body suddenly trembled, the tip of its tail stood up, and its head was lowered very low.

Half an hour later, the chill in his body suddenly and quickly disappeared, and Zhu Wu's voice came.

"I can't take it anymore, I need to rest for a bit."

Her body went limp, and Zi Ji felt even more exhausted than after a major battle; her heart pounded uncontrollably. She opened her eyes slightly and saw Zhu Wu sitting down, eyes closed, meditating. His face was very pale, clearly indicating he had expended a great deal of energy, especially his mental strength.

She pursed her lips, saying nothing more, nor could she say anything more, since the other party had done this for her sake. The method of cultivating spiritual power was originally Zhu Wu's private property; he could refuse to give it to her, let alone research and modify it to suit the needs of these ferocious beasts.

The previous proposal to make her a dragon consort was likely more out of consideration for her feelings.

Of course, it's also possible that he genuinely has some feelings for her, which is why he took the opportunity to make that unreasonable suggestion.

Thinking of this, Long's face flushed. This was the first time in her life that a man had spoken so blatantly to her. She couldn't help but recall the harsh scolding she'd received from Zhu Wu for recklessly consuming the immortal herbs. That guy really did dare to say and do anything.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have proposed a series of plans targeting the successor of the Asura God and personally gone to carry them out.

This is a man who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals, even sacrificing his own dignity. Yet, he also has his own bottom line and is willing to take responsibility. My understanding of Zhu Wu was refreshed once again. I glanced at that figure and then closed my eyes again.

About half an hour later, Zhu Wu's voice came again, "Zi Ji, I'm going to continue."

"Mmm," Zi Ji responded softly, lying still.

Zhu Wu continued, completing the exploration and simulation of Zi Ji's midsection, before resting and recuperating for another hour. Afterward, he approached Zi Ji's dragon head and placed his hand on her forehead. She trembled slightly, then fell silent, allowing Zhu Wu's soul power and spiritual energy to permeate her.

As the sun set, it was finally done.

Withdrawing his hands, Zhu Wu coughed lightly and said, "That's enough for today. We'll examine the person again tomorrow."

Zi Ji's body stiffened, but Zhu Wu ignored her, turning around and walking to an open space to sit down and begin to meditate. Only then did Zi Ji open her eyes, her body flashing with light as she quickly transformed into human form, her face flushed.

He stared intently at Zhu Wu for a moment, then flew away.

She's never been so humiliated in her life; she needs some peace and quiet!

Zhu Wu wasn't in the mood to think about anything else. After waking up from his meditation, he saw that it was already late. He rubbed his rumbling stomach in protest and quickly set up a pot to cook. As for Zi Ji, who knew where she was? Although he understood why, he couldn't be bothered to care; he still had to cultivate.

Therefore, after finishing his meal, he left some food by the campfire to keep it warm, then quickly flew up to a cypress tree, chose a spot with excellent location on a wide branch, and simply built a small nest. He sat inside and began practicing the Longevity Technique under the moonlight until he woke up close to dawn.

Seeing that Zi Ji had not returned, he closed his eyes and lay down, delving into his spiritual space to study the meridians of the two dragons.

A short while later, with a soft thud, Zi Ji landed on the ground, her gaze slightly complicated as she looked up at Zhu Wu's location. Then, she leisurely walked to the still-burning campfire, sat down, gently stirred the firewood, and stared blankly at the ever-brightening flames.

After an unknown amount of time, the lid of the earthenware pot was lifted, and a rich aroma of meat immediately filled the air.

He picked up a porcelain bowl from the side, presented it to her, held it with both hands, felt the warmth constantly emanating from his palms, and sipped it slowly with his head bowed.

On the other side, Zhu Wu regained consciousness, glanced downwards, smiled slightly, and closed his eyes to fall asleep.

Nothing happened that night. The next day, Zhu Wu got up early and began practicing the Vajra Kung Fu in the sunlight. Around 9:30 a.m., he jumped down from the tree to make breakfast.

After finishing, she turned to look at the tree hollow not far away and called out, "Ziji, are you having breakfast?"

Tap tap tap, crisp footsteps approached, and the aloof and stunning Zi Ji walked out with a calm expression.

"Here you go." As he approached, Zhu Wu presented him with a bowl of hot porridge.

"Thank you," Zi Ji responded softly, took the food, sat down in silence, and began to sip and swallow slowly, her eating style cool and detached.

It's still more comfortable being with Ling'er. Zhu Wu, who was used to chatting idly, felt a little uncomfortable with this cold atmosphere, so he took the initiative to speak, "Zi Ji, the insights you brought back about the Water and Fire Dragon Kings have given me some new insights. I've come up with a new trick these past few days. After I've examined your human form later, let's discuss it together. To make this trick work, I'm afraid you'll need to try it out yourself."

There's nothing he can do; his cultivation level is too low. He may have a lot of clever ideas, but putting them into practice is difficult at this stage.

In addition, it must be said that having ferocious beasts to help with experimental skills can indeed greatly improve efficiency and help him avoid many risks.

"Alright." Zi Ji nodded lightly without changing her expression.

Before long, seeing that Zhu Wu was about to finish eating, Zi Ji put down her chopsticks, got up and walked straight to the tree hole, leaving behind the calm words, "Come find me in the tree hole when you're done eating."

She didn't want to be seen by the ferocious beasts that came looking for Zhu Wu along the way; that would be too embarrassing!

"Heh heh, as a ferocious beast whose cultivation is about to break through the 30-year mark, Zi Ji, you actually know how to be shy?" Zhu Wu thought of Zi Ji's usual aloof demeanor and found it quite interesting, even a little exciting.

Without hesitation, he replied, "Okay!"

After finishing his meal and packing up his things, Zhu Wu strode towards the tree hole.
