Douluo Continent: Mirror Dance Across the Sky, Shattering the Gods

He then realized that he was resting his head on Brigitte's lap, and the soft touch on the back of his head made him feel completely relaxed, and he didn't want to get up at all.

Looking at her disciple's obedient appearance, Biji's smile deepened, and she reached out to gently stroke his silver hair.

Gradually, an indescribable sense of peace welled up in Dongfang Jing's heart.

At this moment, Biji didn't seem like his master; instead, she exuded a motherly warmth.

Seeing that her disciple remained silent for a long time, Biji looked down and her eyes widened slightly, almost imperceptibly.

She stopped rubbing his hair, and her fair hands slid down his reddened ears, gently cupping his face.

Feeling the slightly warm touch of her palm, Brigitte lowered her eyes and asked softly, "Why are you blushing? Are you still feeling unwell?"

"I...I'm fine," Dongfang Jing stammered, secretly circulating his soul power to try to calm his violently beating heart.

But being so close to Brigitte, feeling her playful kneading of his cheeks, and with that lingering fragrance, made his heart beat even faster.

"Master, did I successfully guide the auspicious beast?" Dongfang Jing quickly changed the subject, as this was indeed a question he was concerned about.

When he circulated his soul power just now, he found that his body was normal and his mental power had not increased. It was no different from before.

Most importantly, he has absolutely no recollection of what happened during the initiation.

Biji gently shook her head, meeting the clear yet embarrassed gaze of her disciple on her lap: "We failed, and I don't know why. Perhaps... Heaven doesn't want you to get too deeply involved with the Soul Beast race."

At this point, her expression visibly darkened, her eyes reddened, and her voice was filled with guilt: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have suggested the 'guidance,' which caused you to be unconscious for three whole days."

Dongfang Jing was slightly startled; had he actually been unconscious for so long?

But seeing Brigitte's remorseful expression, he felt that none of that mattered anymore.

"Even without auspicious omens, I will still fulfill your dream! If I can't do it in a short time, I'll dedicate my whole life to it."

Before he could finish speaking, a slender finger gently pressed against his lips.

Brigitte's expression turned serious, and her tone became solemn: "Little Mirror, you have your own life to live. In the past, you cultivated diligently to protect your sister, but now, I hope you can think more about yourself!"

"Can"

"Huh?!" Brigitte deliberately put on a stern face, this usually gentle woman revealing a fierce expression.

Of course, she was faking it.

Dongfang Jing found it novel, as this was the first time he had ever seen his master in this state.

He nodded honestly, keeping those words firmly in mind.

Brigitte then smiled again: "A good disciple is one who listens to others~"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but pinch his burning cheeks.

Dongfang Jing felt slightly uneasy, thinking:

How can a grown man indulge in the pleasures of women?

But on second thought,

I'm only ten years old; I'm still a child.

Enjoying it a little doesn't seem like a big deal.

"Master, will it be dangerous if we force the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to guide us?"

Biji was silent for a moment, then shook her head: "It's alright. Since the attribute transfer failed, the child will not be affected in any way. The fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest will remain intact on it."

What Dongfang Jing really wanted to ask was whether Brigitte herself would be implicated as a result.

But Biji had already changed the subject: "Your soul power will reach level 40 in a few days. Have you decided which soul beast you want to hunt?"

Dongfang Jing understood immediately and shook his head in agreement: "I will follow Master's arrangements."

"Yes, I will bring the appropriate soul beast at that time. You only need to complete the last step."

Brigitte plans to search the forest to see if there are any soul beasts that are nearing their end or suffering from incurable diseases.

Of course, the prerequisite is that it must be suitable for Dongfang Jing's martial soul.

During the three days that Dongfang Jing was in a coma, Brigitte figured out many things.

As a master, it is my duty to help my disciples acquire soul rings.

Although she couldn't bear to do it herself, she could ask other guardians for help.

More importantly, despite the failure of her attempt to connect with the auspicious beast's attributes, she still believed that Dongfang Jing possessed the potential to become a god.

Besides his amazing talent for cultivation, what Brigitte cared about even more was the golden eyes that appeared in his spiritual world.

She didn't know what it was.

I also understand that this is not a field I can explore.

We can only wait for Dongfang Jing to solve this mystery himself.

Chapter 103 The Argument Between Biji and Ditian

The air was quiet for a moment.

Biji extended her slender finger and gently touched Dongfang Jing's forehead, a gentle smile on her lips: "Are my legs so comfortable that you, little mirror, are so reluctant to get up?"

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jing quickly stood up, a hint of embarrassment flashing across his face, but he still nodded honestly.

Brigitte didn't care, thinking to herself:

'My good disciple cultivates so diligently,'

Since he likes it, how about we treat it as a reward for him from now on?

She stood up and instructed Dongfang Jing, "I'm leaving now. You can sleep if you want, or cultivate if you want, but remember to do it in moderation!"

"Yes, Master."

Watching Bi Ji slowly walk away, Dongfang Jing couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Sometimes his master would stay by his side at night, and sometimes she would leave like this, and he didn't know where she went.

Looking up at the sky, he realized he had been unconscious for three whole days and was wide awake.

Looking around, Dongfang Jing suddenly realized that he had been living in this forest for many days, eating, drinking and relieving himself in the wild, without even a decent house.

The emerald swans simply slept peacefully in the grass or bushes.

Thinking of this, he summoned his martial spirit, condensing the shattered mirror into an axe.

Their gaze fell on the large tree on the outskirts of the settlement, and they decided to act immediately!

After leaving her tribe, Brigitte walked straight towards the Lake of Life.

She had not only touched the noble auspicious beast, but also offended it. At this moment, she couldn't help but feel uneasy, unsure of how to face the auspicious beast and Emperor Tian.

But since things have come to this, further concerns are futile. Having done it, she will never regret it.

As soon as she submerged to the bottom of the lake, Di Tian's voice transmission rang in her mind: "Bi Ji, you're back."

“Mmm,” Brigitte responded softly.

She looked around and found the auspicious beast lying in a corner not far away.

Biji stepped forward and knelt on one knee: "Auspicious Beast, I am truly sorry."

The three-eyed golden lion glanced at her, snorted in dissatisfaction, and turned its head away.

"What happened, Biji?" Di Tian asked in confusion.

Upon seeing this, Biji immediately understood that the auspicious beast had not informed Ditian of the matter.

But this matter concerns the future of the soul beast race, so she could not and did not want to hide it, and thus told the whole story.

After a long silence, Brigitte concluded, "I don't know why the guidance failed, but I know it must be related to the little mirror."

"Princess!!!" A roar filled with rage echoed from the bottom of the lake.

The Emperor's roar stirred up layers of water.

The sound waves swept over the other four sleeping beasts, and upon closer inspection, their bodies seemed to be trembling slightly.

Meanwhile, Di Tian's enormous black dragon body was convulsing violently, clearly enraged, as if he were about to awaken at any moment.

Brigitte trembled, and the three-eyed golden lion beside her was also startled by the sudden commotion.

"Di Tian, ​​it's me."

"Shut up! Jade Swan Clan Chief Brigitte, do you know that your actions are tantamount to betrayal!" The Black Dragon King's voice boomed like thunder.

Over the past year, Di Tian's subconscious perception of Dongfang Jing as a human has changed.

He respected Brigitte's choice and did not intend to target the boy. He could even agree to let him choose any soul beast to absorb soul rings, which could be considered a small investment.

But when it comes to imperial beasts, he absolutely cannot tolerate it!

This concerns the fortune of all the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, whether ten-thousand-year soul beasts can advance to one hundred-thousand-year, and whether these high-level ferocious beasts can have a better chance of surviving the next tribulation!

Fortunately, the attempt to guide the auspicious beast failed. If something had happened to it, how would Di Tian explain it to his master? If it couldn't survive the next heavenly tribulation, how would he revive the Dragon God?

The soul beast race will inevitably decline and never recover, while humans will rise rapidly and one day wipe out all soul beasts!

"Bridget! You cannot bear this crime!"

"No, Di Tian!" Bi Ji was equally stubborn, firmly believing her judgment was correct. "The ability to interrupt the auspicious beast's attribute guidance is beyond human capability! Di Tian, ​​we cannot cling to old ways; we cannot succeed on our own. We must rely on others."

"Enough!" Di Tian's sleeping body erupted with a violent aura, blasting Bi Ji back several meters.

"Even if he can become a god, are you willing to stake the survival of the Emerald Swan clan on whether he will help us?"

"Bijī, you have disappointed me greatly!" His voice was deep and cold. "The Three-Eyed Golden Lion is a being more noble than myself! Yet you have offended it so blatantly! Even if you are devoted to me, I respect your feelings and am willing to live and die with you, but that does not mean you can act recklessly!"

“I acted recklessly?” Brigitte shook her head, staggered back a few steps, and almost lost her balance.

The marital relationship between Biji and Ditian will not be officially established until 20,000 years later.

Prior to this, they had worked together for many years and had established a certain emotional foundation.

As the ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest and the leader of the Ten Ferocious Beasts, Di Tian needs Bi Ji's healing abilities to stabilize the soul beast clan; while Bi Ji, as the patriarch of the Emerald Swan clan and a top-tier healing expert, also relies on Di Tian's martial prowess to protect her clan.

Brigitte herself has been able to survive the tribulations of soul beasts time and time again, thanks in large part to the protection of the Beast God.

Therefore, she has sincerely followed him for tens of thousands of years and is willing to work with him to revitalize the soul beast industry.
