Chapter 9 Reverse Scale Pendant
After a night's work, Di Tian successfully found the travel permit for Shrek City and the recommendation letter for enrolling in Shrek Academy. As for the household registration, he still needed to find it.
For an entire day, Di Tian and Huo Yutong searched for household registration records in their soul tools. During a break, they ate another silver dragonfish together.
The Star Dou Great Forest truly lives up to its reputation as the premier habitat for soul beasts.
Countless Soul Masters died in Xingdou. The Demon King, Xiong Jun, and Zi Ji all brought back a bunch of storage Soul Tools.
This shows what kind of place Star Dou is. As long as enough Soul Masters die in Star Dou, 100,000 Soul Guidance Devices can be found immediately.
After a difficult search, they finally found a few relatively suitable identity documents.
The original owners were a few wandering soul masters or small merchants with simple backgrounds and vague social relationships, who had already perished in the soul hunting.
"These are the ones," Huo Yutong spread out the several identity documents of different materials that she had selected. "The age and gender are roughly correct, and the backgrounds are relatively clean."
Di Tiandao said, "Tianmeng, the rest is up to you. Cast an illusion spell to ensure that the information on these documents matches ours under routine checks."
"Hehe, leave it to me!" Tianmeng immediately perked up; this was one of her specialties.
"Watch me add a 'reasonable' filter to them. Unless a dedicated mental-type Soul Douluo or higher expert examines them carefully, I guarantee no one will notice any flaws!"
Moreover, the pseudonyms, ages, identities, martial souls, soul power levels, Tianmeng and Ilex of Biji and Ziji have all been prepared.
"Next, Biji and Ziji will go to the far north with Huo Yutong to find the Ice Emperor. After the Ice Emperor becomes Huo Yutong's second martial soul, they will go to Shrek Academy to register. They need to set off as soon as possible."
Even if she misses the registration deadline, Shrek Academy will still accept Huo Yutong as long as she presents her twin martial souls," Di Tiandao said.
Everyone then put away the pile of soul tools and found a cave to store them, in case they needed something from inside in the future. Biji, Ziji, and Huo Yutong then picked out a few more suitable storage soul tools.
The storage soul tool is so convenient.
Di Qiu, along with Huo Yutong, Bi Ji, and Zi Ji, found a hot spring and enjoyed a relaxing bath.
Electrolux had already set up a barrier around himself while Diqiu Tiyi was taking a bath, isolating himself from everything. He also pulled the silkworm that said, "I'm female too, what's wrong with looking at me?" into the barrier. He had to teach this silkworm what privacy was.
In a small valley of the Starry Sky Forest, there was a steaming natural hot spring. When they arrived, Biji set up a barrier to isolate the entire hot spring.
Di Qiu swam around happily, displaying the dog-paddle swimming style she inherited from the Red King. Moreover, she was made of solid material; her thick fur, once wet, clung to her body, with little visual change.
After soaking in the hot spring, Di Qiu climbed ashore and automatically shook herself dry. As a soul beast with extreme fire, Di Qiu could use her soul power to dry herself, but she preferred to shake herself dry, although she felt a little dizzy afterward.
Diqiu wanted to spend more time with his friends, so when he saw his old father standing outside Brigitte's mother's cave, waiting to tell her a bedtime story.
She thought she could listen to her father tell her bedtime stories again sometime, but Yutong was leaving tomorrow.
"Starry nights are often filled with twinkling stars, which are so beautiful. It's a pity that none of the stars are out tonight," Di Qiu said, looking at the sparse night sky.
Di Qiu entered Bi Ji's cave and naturally lay down on the bed.
Huo Yutong hesitated for a moment, then got into bed and lay down next to Di Qiu, listening to Di Qiu talk about how beautiful the starry night sky was, how shooting stars streaked across the sky, and how the moonlight shone on the Lake of Life...
Gradually, the two girls stopped talking and fell asleep.
Di Tian stood outside the cave, gazing at the lone moon in the night sky.
"The children are asleep," Brigitte whispered.
Di Tian raised his hand and set up a barrier, enveloping himself, Bi Ji, and Zi Ji.
Di Tian reached out and grasped Bi Ji's and Zi Ji's hands tightly.
He remained silent for an even longer time before speaking in a very low voice:
"...I had a dream. I dreamt that...I ultimately failed to survive that endless heavenly tribulation..."
I was reduced to ashes by the lightning tribulation... Then, I "saw" Qiu'er being tricked and sacrificed, becoming a human's soul ring... You... and Zi Ji, too... The soul beast race, having lost its protection, were kept and enslaved by humans... Their fate was like that of livestock...
These words clenched Biji's heart.
They turned around and embraced Di Tian.
"We're all here."
Di Tian embraced them.
After a long time, he finally let them go.
"I want to give Huo Yutong a mark with the words 'reverse scale' engraved on it, and I will treat her as my child."
Huo Yuhao is Huo Yuhao, and Huo Yutong is Huo Yutong.
We will support your decision.
Di Tian expanded the barrier, revealing the true form of the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King. He precisely removed a reverse scale with his dragon claws and used his soul power to float it in mid-air. He then used his claws to carve Huo Yutong's name on it in dragon script.
After finishing, Di Tian returned to human form, holding the Reverse Scale in his hand.
"It would be better to make it into a pendant," Brigitte suggested.
Zi Ji retrieved the red rope from the soul tool, took the Reverse Scale, strung it with the braided red rope, and then handed it back to Di Tian.
Di Tian gave them the engraved reverse scales, and he made them into rings for them to wear. Di Qiu naturally had the same reverse scale pendant as Huo Yutong.
……
At dawn, Biji, Ziji, and Huo Yutong prepared their things and were ready to set off for the far north.
Di Tian knelt down in front of Huo Yutong, looking at her with eyes level, his gaze filled with the kindness of an elder.
"Yutong, in my heart, you and Qiu'er are both children I need to protect."
This sore spot is my promise to you; the Starry Sky Forest will always be your ally and your support.
As he spoke, he gently placed a scale tied with a red string around Huo Yutong's neck.
"I...I..." Huo Yutong opened her mouth, wanting to express her gratitude, wanting to say something.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and soon, her soft sobs turned into uncontrollable weeping.
"Thank you... thank you so much... Senior Di Tian..."
Di Tian reached out and gently patted Huo Yutong's shoulder.
After Huo Yutong calmed down, she used the handkerchief handed to her by Bi Ji to wipe away the tears on her face.
Tianmeng floated out, "Alright, alright, the touching part is over for now. Next, watch what I'm capable of!"
She circled around Brigitte and Violet once, saying, "You two, relax and do not resist my mental power."
Then a vast yet gentle spiritual force surged forth like a tide, slowly enveloping Biji and Ziji.
A few breaths later, the light faded. Standing in place were two stunningly beautiful human women.
The aura emanating from their Reverse Scale Rings was also concealed, and then Tianmeng also concealed the aura of Huo Yutong's Reverse Scale Pendant.
