In the heart of the Star Dou Forest.
Su Bai arrived at Zhu Zhuqing's dwelling.
"You're here!"
Zhu Zhuqing's cool, clear voice called out.
Su Bai nodded, habitually approaching Zhu Zhuqing with a smile.
He glanced at Zhu Zhuqing's belly.
Over time, Zhu Zhuqing's belly had grown noticeably larger.
Su Bai had calculated.
In another four months, the child in Zhu Zhuqing's belly would be born.
Because of this, Su Bai had been exceptionally attentive to Zhu Zhuqing, visiting her nearly every day.
Part of this was due to his longing for Zhu Zhuqing's body.
Her figure was incredibly alluring, and every day he could only look but not touch, which tormented Su Bai immensely.
But now, it wouldn't be long. Once the child was born, he could enjoy her fully.
Su Bai habitually lay his head on Zhu Zhuqing's belly, his hands naturally starting to wander over her delicate body.
Zhu Zhuqing blushed deeply.
"Can you stop? Even if you really want to, can't you wait until the baby is born?"
Su Bai chuckled, "I'm just getting a feel for it. Don't worry, I know my limits."
Zhu Zhuqing said no more.
After a while, Zhu Zhuqing asked, "Have you thought of a name for the baby?"
Hearing this, Su Bai smiled, "I've thought about it. Our child is very likely to be a girl, so how about Su Jin'er?"
"Su Jin'er?"
Zhu Zhuqing repeated the name softly, finding it quite pleasant. She nodded in agreement.
Time flew by quickly.
Soon, she would have a child with Su Bai.
The days spent with Su Bai had been the most comfortable and joyful of her life.
She loved her current life—strolling around, enjoying the scenery, and resting when tired.
Su Bai would visit her every day, keeping her company.
After spending some time with Zhu Zhuqing, Su Bai said, "You rest well. I have some matters to attend to. I'll come back tomorrow."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded gently.
She understood that now that Su Bai had established a faction, he had many responsibilities to handle.
Su Bai left.
In truth, he didn't have much to do.
He had delegated most of the Dragon God Temple's affairs to Da Ming and Er Ming. He only stepped in for major decisions.
But today was the day the Dragon God Temple's palace was completed.
It marked the official establishment of the Dragon God Temple.
Such an important occasion required the presence of Su Bai, the temple's leader.
Before long,
Su Bai arrived at the Dragon God Temple's base.
The base had undergone a significant transformation.
In the central area, a towering palace reaching into the clouds had been built.
One glance at it, and it exuded an air of majesty and power.
In front of the Dragon God Temple was a vast square.
At this moment, countless spirit beasts had gathered there.
And all of them were over eighty thousand years old.
They were waiting for their leader.
"The leader is here!"
Seeing Su Bai appear, Da Ming joyfully shouted.
He had feared that Su Bai might forget his reminder and be lost in a sea of women.
He had already informed Su Bai in advance.
Fortunately, Su Bai came.
Su Bai, dressed in white, stood on the high platform.
"Greetings, Leader!"
All the spirit beasts lowered their heads, their voices filled with respect.
Only because Su Bai's strength was formidable enough.
From this moment, Su Bai was their king.
"Excellent!"
Su Bai was very satisfied.
He looked around and said loudly, "From today, the Dragon God Temple is officially established."
"I don't want to waste words. I have only one thing to say: since you have joined the Dragon God Temple, you will be protected by the Dragon God Temple."
Upon hearing this, the spirit beasts rejoiced.
The reason they were willing to join the Dragon God Temple was, firstly, fear of Su Bai's power and the threat of death if they refused.
Secondly, joining the Dragon God Temple meant they could receive Su Bai's protection.
They had witnessed Su Bai's strength long ago when he ascended to a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast and instantly killed the Emperor Crocodile.
With Su Bai's protection, humans would think twice before targeting them.
Moreover, the establishment of the Dragon God Temple meant they were no longer isolated individuals but part of a larger faction.
"And..."
Su Bai raised his hand, signaling the spirit beasts to quiet down.
Once they were silent, Su Bai continued, "I hereby announce that anyone who makes significant contributions to the Dragon God Temple can receive a Transformation Pill from me."
"Some of you may not know what a Transformation Pill is. Let me explain. By taking a Transformation Pill, you can transform into a human form at will and revert to your original form at any time."
"Not only that, taking a Transformation Pill also enhances your cultivation and increases your cultivation speed."
Boom~
As soon as Su Bai finished speaking, the scene became chaotic.
The legend of the Transformation Pill was well-known among the spirit beasts.
Especially since there were precedents.
The examples were Da Ming and Er Ming.
Those who knew them were aware that years ago, their cultivation was only around thirty thousand years.
But now, in just over a decade, they had broken through to over a hundred thousand years.
Such speed, along with their current human forms, was due to taking the Transformation Pill.
Of course, what they didn't know was that, in addition to the Transformation Pill, Da Ming and Er Ming had received many other rewards from Su Bai.
But even this was enough to make them envious.
Although some spirit beasts still doubted whether Su Bai would truly give them the Transformation Pill, they dared not question him due to his overwhelming power.
A daring spirit beast couldn't hold back.
It spoke up, "Leader, if I can contribute to the Dragon God Temple, will you truly give me a Transformation Pill?"
Su Bai looked and laughed.
Wasn't this the Dark Demon Tiger?
This fellow, even after being taught a lesson by him, was still so bold.
But Su Bai liked such types.
He smiled, "Of course. I, as the leader, keep my word. To you, some things are hard to obtain, but to me, they are just within reach."
Over the years, because he had many women, he received many rewards.
This led to his idea of establishing a faction.
But resources—who would ever have enough?
By Su Bai's estimation, Tang San and his group should be preparing to head to Heaven Dou.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was full of valuable treasures.
He couldn't afford to miss it.
The spirit beasts, reassured by Su Bai's promise, were full of enthusiasm, eager to contribute to the Dragon God Temple.
Seeing this, Su Bai left, satisfied.
The rest was up to Da Ming and Er Ming.
Elsewhere.
Three more months passed.
The Shrek group finally headed to Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.
Although many plotlines had changed due to Su Bai, the storyline where Tang San and his group offended Xue Beng at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy still occurred.
Although there was no involvement from Dugu Yan, Tang San and his group still managed to offend Dugu Bo.
In the end, Tang San was captured by Dugu Bo.
In a cave.
Tang San was terrified, trembling as he looked at the Titled Douluo before him. "Why did you capture me? What do you want?"
Dugu Bo sneered, "Of course, to kill you. To teach Flender a lesson, so he understands the consequences of offending me."
