"Indeed, my lord has extraordinary means to see through my true cultivation at a glance," Bi Ji said, regaining her composure and offering a compliment.
Zhao Ming glanced at Bi Ji and replied mildly, "How did you know my identity? Also, were you following me?"
His tone conveyed a hint of disdain, and within his calm voice lurked a sense of veiled threat.
Zhao Ming seemed to be genuinely angry, which put immense psychological pressure on Bi Ji!
She understood that powerful spirit beasts like Zhao Ming were inherently proud and arrogant. Knowing that she had been tracking him might lead toโฆ
After all, when a great being is enraged, countless lives can be lost, and rivers can run red with blood! The thought sent a shiver down Bi Ji's spine.
A being like the Ancient Immortal Phoenix was not someone she could afford to offend! In fact, she couldn't afford to offend even the entire Star Dou Forest!
"My lord, I come to protect your safety on the orders of my master," Bi Ji quickly explained, eager to avoid offending Zhao Ming, this ancient powerhouse, and did not want to be seen as a traitor to the Star Dou Forest or the entire spirit beast race.
"Master? The only one who could be called master by Bi Ji should be the Silver Dragon King Gu Yue Na. Could it be that she sensed the aura of the Ancient Immortal Phoenix?"
That made sense; only a Dragon God that had lived for millions of years would be aware of the existence of the Ancient Immortal Phoenix. Since the Silver Dragon King possessed half of the Dragon God's essence, she naturally would have access to the Dragon God's memories.
"Hehe, I didn't miscalculate. I surmise that Bi Ji might think of you as the rebirth of the Ancient Immortal Phoenix. The bloodline of the Ancient Immortal Phoenix is considered absolutely noble in the spirit beast realm, which is why Bi Ji treats you with such respect," the system's sly voice echoed in Zhao Ming's mind.
"Not bad! If your system family had a rating system, I'd definitely give you five stars. From now on, you're my chief advisor!"
"Bah! You're the only one who's a chief advisor!" The system's smile abruptly vanished, responding grumpily.
Feeling a sense of satisfaction, Zhao Ming returned to reality. Now that he understood Bi Ji's intentions, he felt entirely at ease! In fact, he could use this identity to play a few tricks!
Looking at the somewhat anxious Bi Ji, Zhao Ming felt a surge of satisfaction. This was a fierce beast of five hundred seventy thousand years! One of the top-ranked ferocious beasts on the continent!
Seeing such a powerful beast display fear in front of him brought a playful smile to Zhao Ming's face.
"Are you referring to the master who is currently recuperating in the Star Dou Forest? The Silver Dragon King?"
"Senior, you know of our master's existence?" Bi Ji couldn't help but swallow hard, surprised that Zhao Ming was aware of the Silver Dragon King. Was the Ancient Immortal Phoenix truly this formidable? Had it just recently awakened and already sensed their master's presence?
Indeed, such ancient beings were unfathomable.
"Hmph, not only do I know of her existence, but I also know she isn't having an easy time. The Dragon God caused chaos in the Divine Realm and was defeated by the other gods. The Asura God cut her in half, and only one half escaped, which is the Silver Dragon King," Zhao Ming said cryptically. He was well-versed in the original story's plot, so he knew these details inside and out.
However, Bi Ji was unaware of this information. She had only learned of the Silver Dragon King Gu Yue Na's existence through Di Tian and gradually got to know her. However, Gu Yue Na had never shared such taboo matters with them.
Now, hearing this, she felt a mix of indignation toward the gods and astonishment at these forbidden secrets. But more than anything, she felt a deep respect for Zhao Ming.
"Bi Ji, what is going on? Why are you treating a human like thisโฆ"
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm looked at Zhao Ming with a completely different gaze now.
It had spent a long time in the Star Dou Forest and was well aware of Bi Ji's status.
Although her combat strength wasn't particularly high, as a high-level spirit beast dedicated to healing, she had good relationships with almost all the powerful ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Forest. In that place, Bi Ji had a great deal of prestige.
And now, to see such a powerful spirit beast show such respect to a human, even calling him "my lord," was simply unbelievable!
Moreover, he had just heard them mention the Dragon God! The Silver Dragon King!
Could it be that the Star Dou Forest had a Silver Dragon King with the bloodline of the Dragon God?
The magnitude of this new information was overwhelming and utterly astonishing!
"How dare you! How could my lord possibly be a human? My lord is merely a spirit beast reincarnated!" Bi Ji glared at the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, her expression cold.
If it were any other time, the usually gentle Bi Ji wouldn't have reacted so strongly. But standing next to a being even the Silver Dragon King Gu Yue Na had to treat with caution was a different matter. If the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm angered Zhao Ming, it could bring disaster upon the entire spirit beast race, making the Ice Silkworm a traitor to its kind.
A spirit beast reincarnation? The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's eyes widened in shock. What kind of spirit beast could provoke such treatment from Bi Ji?
However, after receiving Zhao Ming's permission, Bi Ji began to clarify matters for the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
What Bi Ji said left Zhao Ming dumbfounded!
He hadn't realized he was this amazing!
Words like "contending with the heavens for fate," "unparalleled in the world," and "all beasts bowing down" were thrown at him like confetti.
Some of these descriptions came from what she had heard from Gu Yue Na, while others were deliberately exaggerated for Zhao Ming's benefit.
In summary, in Bi Ji's narrative, Zhao Ming was portrayed as a powerful Ancient Immortal Phoenix with the ability to devour the sun and moon and dominate mountains and rivers! He was the strongest being in the spirit beast race!
Listening to Bi Ji's explanation, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm looked at Zhao Ming with eyes full of respect!
Although it belonged to the relatively weak Ice Silkworm clan, it still had a strong sense of pride for its species. In this era, where humans were rising and spirit beasts were falling, Zhao Ming shone like a beacon in its heart!
So it turned out that the spirit beast race had not completely fallen; they still had formidable powerhouses!
Knowing that Zhao Ming was such a powerful reincarnation, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm had already formed a plan in its heart: to become his spirit ring. While it wasn't sure how to resolve the conflict between ice and fire, it believed that such a powerful being would surely have a way to make it work.
Initially, it had only hoped to find a godlike individual to hitch a ride to divinity and escape its miserable fate.
But now! It had found a better option!
Such a great being could easily ascend to divinity. No, for beings like them, achieving divinity might even be seen as an insult!
Following such a mighty being, who would dare treat it as mere prey in the spirit beast world?!
Moreover, if it became the spirit ring of such a great being, it would contribute to the entire spirit beast race! It believed that in the future, among spirit beasts, it, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, would earn the admiration of countless spirit beasts!
