Chapter 93 The Evil Emperor's Daughter - Xie Lin
The victorious Evil Eye Tyrant—Evil Forest—floated proudly before the Evil Emperor, its countless tentacles still swaying slightly, as if still immersed in the rhythm of the "dance battle" just now.
Electrolux spoke up at the opportune moment, saying, "The Soul Spirit Ritual is no small matter; both parties must be in their best condition. Moreover, Yu Tong is currently only at the fourth ring, and the formal contract can only be formed when Yu Tong breaks through to the fifth ring."
Upon hearing this, Di Tian, Bi Ji, and the others all nodded in agreement.
The Evil Emperor did not object. He waved one of his main tentacles, signaling a ten-thousand-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant to come and lead the way, arranging resting places for the guests.
It was a natural cave located on the edge of the core restricted area. The interior was spacious with smooth stone walls, and it was clear that high-level evil eye tyrants often meditated here.
With a gentle wave of her hand, Brigitte released a soft life energy that dispelled the lingering cold and evil aura in the cave. She then took out a soft animal skin blanket and laid it on the dry ground.
Di Qiu almost immediately collapsed onto the blanket, burying his face in the soft fur and letting out a muffled sigh:
"I feel like my eyes and soul need purification... The mental pollution from that 'dance battle' is even more terrifying than the Evil Emperor's mental impact."
She felt that for a long time to come, the image of countless tentacles dancing wildly would appear in her mind whenever she closed her eyes.
Huo Yutong's condition wasn't much better. While taking out dry rations and a water pouch, she communicated with several spirits in her spiritual sea:
"Um...shouldn't we talk to Xie Lin about whether, in the future, when she wants to dance, she could...choose a secluded spot?"
She simply couldn't imagine that in the future, when she was cultivating or fighting enemies, strange rhythms would suddenly resound in her mind and images of wildly dancing tentacles would appear.
Tianmeng seemed to have a certain "mutual appreciation," muttering that "actually, her sense of rhythm is not bad," but was interrupted by a sweeping glare from Hyotei.
Hyotei's tone was chilling: "If you dare to imitate me, I'll make sure you're forever stuck in the shape of an ice pop!"
After a quick drink, a wave of fatigue washed over me.
Huo Yutong lay down beside Di Qiu, and the two girls quickly fell into a deep sleep under the comforting presence of Bi Ji's life force.
Seeing that they had fallen asleep, Di Tian, Bi Ji, and Zi Ji quietly went to the cave entrance.
The Demon Forest under the cover of night was not entirely silent. Occasionally, the low howls of unknown soul beasts could be heard from afar, and the dark purple miasma flowed slowly among the trees, forming a strange yet tranquil picture with the sparse stars in the night sky.
The three stood side by side, gazing at this land that had been ruled by the Evil Emperor for so long, each lost in their own thoughts.
The next morning, when Huo Yutong and Di Qiu woke up to birdsong, they were full of energy.
Outside the cave, the Evil Emperor, his son Xie Lin, and the demon spirits were already waiting.
The Evil Eye Tyrant typically takes the form of a gigantic eyeball, with the main body being a scarlet giant eye that can reach several meters in diameter, surrounded by numerous tentacle-like eye stalks. Higher-level individuals are even larger, with eyeballs reaching hundreds of meters in diameter and thick eye stalks.
All three transformed into human form. The spiritual beasts possessed powerful spiritual energy, and with 100,000 years of cultivation, they could use their spiritual energy to transform into human form. Xie Lin transformed into a 14.5-year-old red-haired girl with evil eyes, affectionately holding her father's arm. She was the most beloved child of the Evil Emperor.
The evil-eyed youth that Di Tian met yesterday was Xie Sen, Xie Lin's older brother and the young patriarch of the Evil Eye Tyrant clan. Naturally, he couldn't be Huo Yutong's soul spirit. He watched his younger brother and sister engage in a "dance battle" from the sidelines, wishing he could join in the dance.
The Evil Emperor said, "Di Tian, remember your promise. The alliance begins from this moment."
"Naturally," Di Tiandao said. "The Starry Sky, the Far North, and the Demons form a three-way alliance to jointly defend against future changes."
Once the important matters were agreed upon, the actual work commenced.
When Di Tian and his group left the far north, their undead demiplane was filled with resources unique to the far north. The two sides immediately began exchanging supplies.
Under the orders of the Evil Emperor, the Evil Eye Tyrant clan and the Demon Spirit clan quickly sprang into action, collecting resources such as ores, herbs, and soul bones unique to the Demon Forest according to the list provided by Bi Ji and Zi Ji.
Taking advantage of this brief moment, Di Tian looked at the Evil Emperor and asked, "Evil Emperor, has the Demon Forest ever conducted a 'beast census'?"
"I've never done it systematically," the Evil Emperor's mental fluctuations were filled with absolute confidence, "However, all soul beasts with a cultivation of more than ten thousand years are within my perception."
As the strongest spirit-type soul beast on the continent, he certainly had the confidence to speak like that.
Di Tian then explained to the Evil Emperor the experience and benefits of conducting a beast population census in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Upon hearing this, the Evil Emperor's eyes flashed with light, clearly recognizing the strategic significance of this action for effectively managing the forest and integrating the power of his tribe. He immediately decided to follow suit and launch a comprehensive investigation into the beast population in the Demon Forest.
As for the far north, the Snow Emperor is no longer there, and the Ice Emperor has become a spirit, so they can't even begin to develop their territory.
Meanwhile, Xie Lin, as Huo Yutong's future soul spirit, also began chatting with Huo Yutong and Di Qiu.
"Xie Lin, daughter of the Evil Emperor."
"Hello, I am Huo Yutong."
"Di Qiu, daughter of the Beast God Di Tian."
Xie Lin was a lively and talkative girl who told them about the characteristics of the Evil Eye Tyrant clan, "Our Evil Eye Tyrant clan is the strongest spirit-type soul beast race on the continent, and under my father's rule, it is flourishing..."
"Under Father's rule, our Star Dou region has a bright future ahead of us," Di Qiu also said.
"My dad will even teach me to dance himself."
My dad tells me a bedtime story every day.
"My dad..."
The topic somehow veered off course, and they started comparing their fathers' connections. Huo Yutong watched as their conversation became increasingly absurd.
Huo Yutong felt she needed to speak up and stop them, otherwise her two elderly fathers would be in trouble, mainly because she was worried about Uncle Ditian.
"It's lunchtime. I wonder what special delicacies the Demon Forest has?" Huo Yutong loudly interrupted Xie Lin and Di Qiu's boasting about their fathers.
"Leave it to me. Our Demon Forest has many unique soul beasts, such as the Bewildering Spider, whose legs are crunchy; the Three-Eyed Demon Ape's brain is very sweet, which is my favorite; and the Blood Agate Sunflower, which is sweet and juicy..." Xie Lin said.
Huo Yutong wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. No one could eat this; she'd stick to the usual. "Excuse me, are there any fish in the Demon Forest? I'd like to grill some."
"Yes, there's a river nearby. I'll have some beasts catch some for you," Xie Lin said, indicating that he would just wait for the other soul beasts to deliver the goods to his door.
The fish were quickly delivered by the beast; they were all fat fish, each a meter long. Huo Yutong thought she should have said beforehand that she didn't want such big fish.
Huo Yutong, as always, began to skillfully grill the fish.
