Chapter 1 The Spirit-Eyed Girl and the Dragon
Chapter 1 The Spirit-Eyed Girl and the Dragon
"I will kill that man."
On the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, a thin young girl gripped the White Tiger Dagger tightly, took a deep breath, and made up her mind to step into the deep, dark forest.
The girl's name is Dai Yutong. She is the illegitimate daughter of the Duke of Baihu. Her mother was originally the Duke's personal maid and was disliked by the Duchess.
When the Duke was away at war and unable to return home, the Duchess and her second son tormented the mother and daughter.
Dai Yutong's mother died when she was ten years old. She wanted to escape, but all the servants in the Duke's mansion were the lady's spies.
Dai Yutong knew that if she didn't escape, she would die sooner or later.
Dai Yutong stayed for another year. Fortunately, the Duchess recently fell ill, and Hui Feier, who was also a concubine of the Duke and was suppressed by the Duchess, helped her.
Hui Feier brought Dai Yutong some soul coins and some dry food, and on a dark and windy night, she helped her escape from the Duke's mansion by crawling through a dog hole.
Dai Yutong's small figure ran under the moonlight. Her martial soul was the Spirit Eye, which allowed her to see the road clearly at night.
She vowed in her heart, "Mother, one day I will become a powerful figure on this continent, return to the Duke's mansion in glory, and avenge you."
"From now on, I will take your surname and change my name to Huo Yutong."
Huo Yutong dared not delay along the way, traveling through the night, drinking spring water when thirsty, eating dry rations when hungry, and asking directions from passersby she encountered.
After a week of trekking, she arrived at the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Next...
Huo Yutong kept her breathing and footsteps as light as possible, activated her spiritual eyes, and walked carefully through the forest.
She walked deeper and deeper into the area when suddenly a ten-year-old baboon attacked her from the side.
Huo Yutong hurriedly used the White Tiger Dagger to block, but her frail body was no match for the power of the wind baboon. She was knocked away by the force and crashed into a large tree, with the White Tiger Dagger falling to the side.
Ignoring the pain, Huo Yutong hurriedly got up, but it was too late; the wind baboon's claws were already upon her.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I can't avenge you..."
The pain Huo Yutong expected did not occur, and she opened her eyes after a while.
"Young lady, do you want to become stronger?"
It was a silkworm, pure white with ten golden rings on its round body. The voice belonged to a young girl, and next to it lay the corpse of a fallen wind baboon.
It took Huo Yutong a long time to realize that she couldn't even handle a ten-year-old wind baboon, let alone this one.
"I'm willing to give anything to make me stronger."
"That's great!!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm exclaimed excitedly, its body transforming into a stream of light and disappearing into the girl's body.
Huo Yutong felt intense pain and fainted from the pain.
"I must live...to take revenge..."
Perhaps sensing the powerful energy and intense emotions emanating from her, a small gray orb of light appeared and then disappeared into her body.
Huo Yutong's consciousness then plunged into endless darkness. She felt someone gently pick her up and carry her through the forest. The embrace was very warm.
It was unclear how much time had passed before Huo Yutong slowly woke up.
Opening his eyes, he saw a stunningly beautiful woman with green hair and a long dress. She gently helped Huo Yutong up as she tried to get up and slowly fed her a cup of water from the Lake of Life.
"I am Biji, and the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm within you will explain everything to you." After Huo Yutong finished drinking the water, Biji gestured for the girl to lie down.
The energy in the Lake of Life nourished Huo Yutong's frail body. Upon hearing this, Huo Yutong lay down on the stone bed covered with soft animal hides.
"As long as you immerse your consciousness in the sea of your mind, you will be able to see my stunning beauty." Huo Yutong listened to the voice in her mind.
"How about it? Are you stunned by my beauty?" Tianmeng proudly twisted her silkworm-like body.
After a while, Tianmeng returned to normal.
"My name is Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, a million-year-old spirit-type soul beast. And you are the host I have chosen; you will become a god. From now on, just call me Sister Tianmeng."
Why did you choose me?
"Because my sister was imprisoned by those bastards Xingdou for thousands of years, she lost all her cultivation. She finally escaped, but all that's left is her soul."
If I don't find a host soon, I'll die. Then, when we merged, we made a lot of noise and Di Tian found out, so he took you back.
I thought I was going to die, but luckily I'm smart and came up with the great "God-Making Plan"!
Di Tian agreed, and even beat up the stupid bear who objected. Just thinking about how miserable that big bear looked makes me happy! Hahaha!
Who is Di Tian?
"The leader of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, the strongest Soul Beast, you don't even know about the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts? You're a Soul Master, after all," Tianmeng rambled on.
Next, Tianmeng explained the existence of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts to Huo Yutong. When mentioning the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Ice Emperor, which ranked eighth, he praised her for several minutes.
"That woman named Brigitte from earlier... she was also a soul beast, but she looked human?"
"That? Spiritual transformation is something even ferocious beasts can do. Spiritual soul beasts can do it in 100,000 years."
In short, Di Tian has decided to invest in Sister's "God-Making Plan." Perform well, because we're in the same boat now. You will become a god," Tian Meng said confidently.
Huo Yutong still felt it was unrealistic; she was just a level 10 Soul Master.
Wait, how come she's level 15?
"While you were unconscious, Brigitte channeled some of her soul power into you to nourish your body. By the way, I've become your soul ring—a unique, intelligent soul ring, a million-year soul ring!"
"Thank you." In any case, Tianmeng did help Huo Yutong.
Huo Yutong detached from the sea of consciousness and opened her eyes.
"...Senior Biji, hello, my name is Huo Yutong." The girl tried to get up and get out of bed to greet him.
"No need to be so polite, just call me Biji. Your body is still very weak." Biji pressed Huo Yutong down.
"I'm sure Tianmeng has already told you."
"Hmm." Huo Yutong couldn't believe that the beautiful and gentle woman in front of her was actually a soul beast.
"You should rest well first. After you've rested, I'll take you to see Di Tian," Bi Ji said.
The core area of the Starry Sky Forest, on the shore of the Lake of Life.
Huo Yutong looked around curiously, and the man in black standing beside the Lake of Life came into her view.
"What's your name?" Di Tian asked as he approached her.
"Huo Yutong." Huo Yutong's eyes reflected the tall, middle-aged man in front of her. Di Tian had a pair of dazzling golden eyes and a golden streak on his forehead.
Di Tian's next move surprised Tian Meng and Bi Ji, who were standing in the Sea of Spirit.
Di Tian actually knelt down on one knee, lowering his tall frame so that his line of sight could be level with Huo Yutong's.
"From this day forward, you, Huo Yutong, will be my ally, Di Tian's ally, and the entire Star Dou Great Forest." Huo Yutong's lost White Tiger Dagger appeared in Di Tian's hand.
Huo Yutong stared blankly at the peerless expert kneeling on one knee before her, looking directly into his golden eyes.
I met my hero.
