Chapter 171: Zi Ji Isn't Someone You Can Just Casually Chase After?_1

Hell Demon Dragon King Zi Ji, the Clan Leader of the Hell Demon Dragon Clan, with a "Cultivation Level" of 270,000 years, is ranked ninth among the Top Ten Ferocious Soul Beasts.

The Top Ten Ferocious Soul Beasts refer to the ten most powerful land soul beasts on the Continent.

Although the concept of the Top Ten Ferocious Soul Beasts doesn't exist in Dou Yi, the fiercest ten soul beasts are still these ten now. And Zi Ji's strength, when translated to human standards, roughly equates to that of the Sword Douluo.

Besides formidable strength, Zi Ji's beauty is also unparalleled.

In the Aquipeia Forest, aside from Gu Yuena, who is recovering her vitality at the Lake of Life, Bi Ji and Zi Ji are considered the most beautiful women, jointly known as the twin beauties of the Aquipeia Forest.

Xu Ran had long foreseen that the Aquipeia Forest would send someone to seek him out, as "System Sister" had already warned him about it. Therefore, he wasn't surprised, nor was he concerned about anything.

Given the influence and appeal of the Auspicious Beast in The Soul Beast Realm, not even the most powerful soul beasts would dare to make a move against him.

Ordinary soul beasts that attack an Auspicious Beast would suffer the curse and judgment of fate. Such invisible shackles instill fear in even the strongest soul beasts.

The more powerful the soul beast, the more it believes in the power of Luck.

In Dou Er, when the Auspicious Beast King Qiu'er intended to hunt down a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, that soul beast had no choice but to flee in panic, not daring to confront King Qiu'er in the slightest.

Therefore, Xu Ran wasn't worried that Zi Ji would attack him, and he was actually rather excited about her arrival, thinking that if he had a strong fighter like her by his side, things would be much easier for him in the future.

At the very least, with Zi Ji's "Cultivation Level," he would be able to walk freely within the Xingluo Empire without worrying too much about his own safety.

In the future, even if he was engaged in activities with Zhu Yun that lifted the spirits and Davis stumbled upon them, he wouldn't have to worry. With Zi Ji's strength, in the Xingluo Empire, where Titled Douluos are rare, she could suppress anything.

Of course, this only refers to individual combat power. If she faced a siege by many elite troops of the royal household, Zi Ji alone wouldn't be much of a threat. However, regardless, he now had a safeguard for the future.

"'Host' Brother, how shameless, Zi Ji is a super ferocious beast of over two hundred thousand years. She's not there to cover for you while you sneak around being unfaithful," "System Sister" said with a delicate voice, barely able to watch as she sensed Xu Ran's thoughts.

Since when had 'Host' Brother become so shameless?

If 'Host' Brother were really caught in an intimate encounter with Zhu Zhuqing by Davis at night, it would absolutely infuriate Davis to death.

After all, Davis had been making fun of Dai Mubai for having his fiancée taken recently. If he knew he was in a worse situation than Dai Mubai, who knows how he would feel?

Because Dai Mubai's engagement had been dissolved before Zhu Zhuqing got together with Xu Ran.

Whereas Xu Ran and Zhu Yun... in front of him, they pretended to have serious matters to discuss and then snuck into a small, dark room for a more intimate exchange. This, if known to Davis, would certainly cause him to spit blood.

"Who says I'm being unfaithful with Zhu Qing? We are clearly a couple in a passionate relationship meeting normally," Xu Ran said. By changing the description, the nature of the action was completely altered. He couldn't allow "System Sister" to label him arbitrarily—wasn't he Xu Ran, a man of integrity?

He treated Brother Vis like his own brother, serving as his chief of staff and right-hand man—how could he betray him by doing something undeserving?

"Hmph. 'Host' Brother is utterly incorrigible," "System Sister" retorted with a pout and a tsundere tone. She had come to realize that 'Host' Brother simply enjoyed taking other men's women. And he even liked to do it secretly, just separated by a thin wall...

"Men aren't bad, women won't love them. What can I do? I'd like to be an honest man too. But then, honest men, you just don't like." Xu Ran shrugged his shoulders.

…

In the teahouse, Xu Ran asked for a private room.

"I am Zi Ji, at your service, Auspicious Beast." As soon as Xu Ran entered the room, a charming voice came to his ears, soft yet seductive, incredibly unique.

Right after, a stunning figure with purple-black hair appeared before Xu Ran. The woman was exceedingly beautiful, with an aura of sinister allure radiating from her, commanding involuntary attention.

In the Aquipeia Forest, Zi Ji was the dream lover of all ferocious beasts. Her bewitching face and shapely figure, with just a few steps, could stir the desires of ferocious beasts.

However, as a member of the Hell Demon Dragon Clan, her notoriety for ferocity surpassed even her reputation for beauty. Ranking ninth among the continent's ferocious beasts was enough to speak of her fearsomeness. Such a soul beast would not be trifled with lightly by the Bear Lord or the Red King, even though they were a bit stronger than Zi Ji. But when Zi Ji went mad, they too were scared.

Yet such a woman, devilishly enchanting, could also ignite Xu Ran's desire for conquest.

One might grow tired of sweetness; sometimes, a change of taste, something spicy, seemed especially appealing.

As an Auspicious Beast, surely Zi Ji couldn't be too spicy for him.

Besides, Zi Ji being able to find him must have been under Gu Yuena's directive. Except for Gu Yuena, no one in Soul Land had the strength to pinpoint his location.

"Auspicious Beast?" As Xu Ran was looking at Zi Ji, she too covertly turned her gaze towards him.

The rapid rise in the running speed of the Soul Power within her body let her know that this man before her was the Auspicious Beast she was seeking. But why was the Auspicious Beast's disguise so convincing?

Being near an Auspicious Beast would accelerate her growth as a soul beast. It was through this that she confirmed the individual before her was the Auspicious Beast.

However, relying on her other senses, she could not discern anything unusual about him. If not for the unique traits of an Auspicious Beast, she might even believe the Auspicious Beast before her to be a human.

Now she also finally understood why Di Tian had also warned her to be cautious around the Auspicious Beast. It was not only because of the Auspicious Beast's status, but also because the strength of the Auspicious Beast before her was considerable.

The Aquipeia Forest also had an Auspicious Beast, the Three-eyed Golden Lion. Yet, it had only been born a little over five thousand years ago. The Auspicious Beast before her was definitely stronger than their Aquipeia's, probably possessing tens of thousands of years of "Cultivation Level," maybe even more powerful.

The stronger the "Cultivation Level" of an Auspicious Beast, the greater the force of "Luck Power." While the increase in the growth speed for soul beasts would remain unchanged, the effectiveness in other areas would be amplified.

For instance, the Soul Beast Heavenly Tribulation.

"You're the Zi Ji from the Aquipeia Forest, the Clan Leader of the Hell Demon Dragon Clan," Xu Ran said with a smile forming on his lips, looking over Zi Ji's voluptuous and exquisite figure.

The longer he looked, the more he found her full of charm.

Zi Ji's dignified and overbearing air, born of high station, intertwined with her devilish and seductive nature, presented an intriguing flavor.

The formidable soul beasts of the Aquipeia Forest, Gu Yuena was the most difficult to conquer. But for a ferocious soul beast like Zi Ji, if he desired her, couldn't he just summon her with a wave of his hand?
