Douluo: Marrying a Wife to Become a God, Having Children for Blessings

"This is…"

Di Tian, Bear Lord, and other ferocious beasts were utterly stunned.

Zi Ji's enchanting eyes remained fixated on Zhou Yi the entire time.

Soul beasts have always revered strength.

Zhou Yi's overwhelming power and terrifying aura, coupled with the fact that he embraced her with the intent of offspring, had left an indelible mark on Zi Ji's heart.

Deep in her soul, a faint, inexplicable tremor of emotion emerged.

This feeling was more potent than any divine ability under the heavens.

In just an instant, Zi Ji's heart became restless.

Instinctively, she placed a hand over her chest, her alluring long legs tightening slightly as if reacting on their own.

Now, she realized that Zhou Yi was not only incomparably powerful but also seemed to possess an indescribably noble existence.

Among soul beasts, bloodline and racial hierarchy were paramount.

Why was Di Tian so loyal to Gu Yuena?

It wasn't solely because of Gu Yuena's strength but also due to her identity as the Silver Dragon King, inheritor of half the Dragon God's legacy.

Gu Yuena's status as the ruler of soul beasts stemmed from this divine identity.

Now, Zhou Yi seemed even more exalted and terrifying than Gu Yuena.

No, Di Tian, who had once served under the Dragon God, could discern that Zhou Yi's "dragon" aura was more ancient, vast, and majestic than the Dragon God himself.

It shattered all his previous understanding.

For Gu Yuena, inheritor of half the Dragon God's legacy, the sensation was even more pronounced. She understood Zhou Yi's overwhelming power and terror far better.

She hadn't expected Zhou Yi to be the supreme entity that had previously caused the heavens and earth to overturn, plunging the cosmos into chaos.

At this moment, Gu Yuena felt none of the shame or anger of having been defeated and subdued by Zhou Yi.

Her silvery dragon eyes, which had once glimmered with defiance, were now filled with fervent worship and fanaticism.

Her mesmerizing gaze shimmered with unspeakable emotions.

Recalling Zhou Yi's earlier statement about desiring offspring, Gu Yuena's silvery dragon scales seemed to blush with a faint crimson hue.

"So, you're not human!"

Gu Yuena's voice carried a hint of reverence as she looked at Zhou Yi as though he were kin.

"Are you insulting me?"

Zhou Yi chuckled helplessly.

I'm not human?

Smiling wryly, he reached out and ruffled Gu Yuena's silver-haired head.

Anyone else doing this would have sent Gu Yuena into a rage.

But now, she resembled a content kitten, reveling in Zhou Yi's touch, as if it were a great honor.

Zhou Yi sighed inwardly, marveling at the rigid hierarchy among soul beasts.

It made sense. If Gu Yuena stroked Bear Lord or Di Tian on the head, they'd likely react with the same enjoyment and honor.

The same dynamic applied to humans.

If an emperor patted a commoner on the head, that commoner would probably be thrilled, bragging about it for life.

To Gu Yuena, Zi Ji, and the others, Zhou Yi's aura of the Candle Dragon was akin to that of an emperor.

Zhou Yi glanced at Zi Ji.

Sure enough.

Zi Ji's eyes glimmered with envy, clearly yearning for Zhou Yi to ruffle her head too.

As expected of the Candle Dragon—absolutely unparalleled! Zhou Yi thought to himself. After indulging in ruffling Gu Yuena's head, he stepped away.

Gu Yuena's towering silver dragon form shimmered with light, gradually shrinking until it transformed into a breathtakingly elegant human figure.

Zhou Yi observed the human form of Gu Yuena.

Her long silver hair cascaded down her back to her ankles, gleaming with a crystalline, silvery sheen.

Her beauty was indescribable, her features too perfect for words.

Her pale, delicate skin, long curled lashes, and amethyst eyes exuded a mesmerizing allure.

A silver gown accentuated her flawless figure, exuding elegance and seduction.

"Gu Yuena greets the Master!"

Gu Yuena knelt on one knee, her eyes ablaze with fervor and worship as she expressed her submission.

"Di Tian (Bear Lord, Scarlet King, Zi Ji) greets the Master!"

Following suit, the others knelt, their gazes toward Zhou Yi brimming with reverence and awe.

Even Bear Lord, who had been thoroughly defeated by Zhou Yi earlier, now bore no hint of defiance.

Zhou Yi regarded the five before him with satisfaction.

Judging from the looks in Gu Yuena and Zi Ji's eyes, convincing them to bear his offspring would take no effort at all.

They'd likely feel honored and ecstatic, akin to commoners receiving the emperor's favor.

The thought stirred Zhou Yi's heart with fiery anticipation.

"Well done!"

Zhou Yi produced five bottles of pills and said:

"These are Transformation Pills, capable of allowing soul beasts to fully take human form while retaining their original strength. Furthermore, you'll be able to shift freely between human and beast forms. Consider these your gifts from me."

He distributed the pills to Gu Yuena, Di Tian, Bear Lord, Scarlet King, and Zi Ji.

"Thank you, my Lord, for your grace!"

The five were overwhelmed with gratitude, unable to believe Zhou Yi would bestow such priceless treasures upon them.

To doubt the pills' efficacy would be to insult Zhou Yi.

At this moment, all five pledged absolute loyalty, willing to serve Zhou Yi to the death.

The art of leadership lies in balancing kindness and authority.

Zhou Yi had displayed unmatched might to subdue them, then sealed their loyalty with a benevolent gift.

"Zi Ji, stay. The rest of you may leave to take the Transformation Pills. Summon the other ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Forest to meet me."

"Understood, my Lord!"

Gu Yuena led Di Tian and the others away respectfully.

Zi Ji, however, remained behind, her heart filled with apprehension. She couldn't fathom why Zhou Yi had specifically chosen to keep her back.

Could it be that she had done something wrong?

Zhou Yi: Wrong! It's because you performed too well. My frustration is now unbearable!

While Zi Ji's thoughts spiraled into anxiety, endlessly speculating about Zhou Yi's intentions, Zhou Yi suddenly pulled her into his embrace.

Her delicate frame trembled, her eyes widening in shock. Gradually, an inkling of his purpose dawned on her, making her heart race uncontrollably.

Could it be... the Lord really wants her to bear his child!?

But shouldn't it be the Lord—no, the Silver Dragon King—who takes precedence in such matters?

Zhou Yi: Don't you know that the finest things are always saved for savoring later?

To quench one's thirst, one starts with coarse fare. The delicacies—exquisite treasures like premium abalone—must await a favorable day and environment for leisurely enjoyment.

A tearing sound disrupted her musings.

"Ah!"

With the sound of fabric ripping came Zi Ji's startled cry.

Zhou Yi began a profound "treatment" session for Zi Ji, meticulously clearing her blocked meridians.

Acupuncture. Infusion therapy.

"The Lord truly embodies might and vigor!"

Not far away, Xiong Jun (Bear Lord) and Chi Wang (Scarlet King) paused momentarily, hearing the commotion from behind. A mix of envy and admiration welled up within them.

But their feelings weren't directed at Zhou Yi.

They envied Zi Ji.

After all, they were not female.

Di Tian heaved a silent sigh. Truth be told, he had once harbored feelings for Zi Ji.

As the Abyss Demon Dragon King, she was an ideal match for him, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King. By all rights, she should have been his.

But alas, that was no longer possible.

He didn't dare to entertain any thoughts of discontent.

Meanwhile, Gu Yuena's elegant frame quivered. A storm of emotions churned in her heart, each step she took feeling as heavy as a mountain.

Could it be that the Lord does not favor me?

By her own reckoning, she surpassed Zi Ji in every way—appearance, strength, bloodline, and race.

Zi Ji couldn't even compare.

Why, then, had Zhou Yi chosen Zi Ji to stay behind instead of her?

Despite her jealousy, Gu Yuena knew better than to question him. After relaying Zhou Yi's instructions to Di Tian, she secluded herself to consume the Transformation Pill and begin closed-door cultivation.

Di Tian, however, did not immediately consume his own Transformation Pill. Instead, he set out to carry out Zhou Yi's commands personally.

The Star Dou Forest still housed several other ferocious soul beasts that had cultivated for over a hundred thousand years:

The Myriad Demon King, whose true form was the Tree Monster. As a plant-type soul beast, it had grown stronger over time after fortuitously devouring a nearby immortal herb. It ultimately became the most formidable plant-type soul beast, reaching a cultivation age of 520,000 years.

The Emerald Swan Bi Ji, with a cultivation age nearing 600,000 years.

The Skydream Ice Worm Tian Meng, a million-year soul beast.

Though Tian Meng was considered little more than their "meat pig." Whether its role would remain the same going forward depended entirely on Zhou Yi's decision.

Finally, there was the extraordinary Three-Eyed Golden Lion, an Emperor Auspicious Beast with less than ten thousand years of cultivation.
