Quest Maker of Soul Land

With the rigged contest ending in Hu Lana's loss, the group, or rather Oscar, soon cooks a large banquet where they are the first to fill Ja Sun in on whatever happened from the voyage of the Spirit Empire to Bibi Dong reducing the tribesmen of the five aquatic overlords and devouring Golden Crocodile to complete her first trial.

And the fact that Bibi Dong could contest with Qian Xunji through words... reveals two things to Ja Sun.

First, she still got it.

Second, Qian Xunji may be weaker than Ja Sun estimated. After all, the moment Qian Xunji became a god, he based his decisions on a rather well-founded reason that he is the superior one. To him, before getting a vigorous beating by Ja Sun, only his needs mattered because he had the strength and if Qian Xunji is humble at the moment, it has nothing to do with his mindset... but his strength.

And, this Qian Xunji may be more dangerous.

'He will think like the human he was before. Deceptively sharp, conniving, and ruthless. Not only that, even if I did snatch away his God Tablet and Divine Weapon because of the Battlefield of Madness, it does not add to my strength and the man still has his tenth, divine spirit ring.'

Ja Sun now has a deeper understanding of gods. That is also why it is clear that Lady of the Lake wants him dead. That is why he is clear that he, now, is closer to death than ever before and not because of external enemies but his own decisions!

But Ja Sun pushes these thoughts back and recounts his own tale. Sure, he left out the part of the divine war started by Evil Sage whose fate remains unknown. After all... this is forbidden knowledge. Ja Sun can bear the consequences of knowing this information but others cannot and he does not want to invoke Asura's tribulation... that even dissects the freaking river of time to stop this information from spreading!

Shit's real.

But the information about how the previous generation of spirit masters lived is already interesting to the group. Not only that, the fact that beasts can become gods thrill Zi Ji, Snow, and Bing Bing quite a bit.

But just because Ja Sun hides a part of information doesn't mean others cannot pick on this fact.

Thus, Bibi Dong frowns, "Do you know what led to the change? We as spirit masters do not fuse with the soul origin of spirit beasts or the beasts cannot ascend to gods anymore."

"Well... I know the precise reason but you guys may as well continue to blame the current Gods," Ja Sun shrugs.

"Any details?" She narrows her gaze and others look interested at once.

Ja Sun smirks and comments, "You all aren't strong enough to handle the truth, I'm afraid. And I'm not risking Ah Yin's life for any stupid reason like valuing truth over life."

"Not strong enough?" Bibi Dong raises an eyebrow, "In case you misheard me..." With the familiar yet almost contained crazed glow in her gaze and a devilish spirit pressure bursting forth from her being, "We've gotten stronger."

"And this strength is making you commit the same stupidity as Erlong," Ja Sun continues calmly with his cool killing intent easily suppressing Bibi Dong's intent. While it is a surprise that her killing intent has reached the same intensity as his own and is almost the opposite side of the same coin... thing is, Ja Sun is way more familiar with killing intent. More than Bibi Dong can hope to imagine.

"Hey!" Erlong barks with a scowl.

"All I am saying is, I cannot protect all of you from the mistake I would commit by telling you all the truth. So I wouldn't risk it. It wouldn't be the same as Poseidon's tribulation, too. The Gods will have an actual reason to wipe us because of stepping onto a taboo."

"Then," Bibi Dong huffs and calms down. Of course, she isn't like Erlong but the fact that her excitement to show off to Ja Sun got the better of her serves as a proper warning to not let power get to her head, "Can you tell us why is it a taboo?"

"That... even I don't know," Ja Sun bites on a piece of well-baked bread and enjoys the taste of the fermented sauce, "Hmm... I missed the good stuff."

"Focus," Ah Yin nudges his shoulder. Even she is interested in stuff.

"Huh? Yeah, as I said, I don't know what the taboo is but chances are that even Di Tian knows of the past and chooses to remain quiet. But... if I have to say, only one person is knowledgeable enough to know of the taboo."

"Who?" Ah Yin questions.

"The Lady of the Lake... man, I should have pestered her to know her name. Calling her lady of the lake time and again is getting redundant," Ja Sun chuckles and looks around, "So? All of you guys have gotten crazy strong over these months, huh?"

"Well," Xie Xan smiles, "There isn't anything to do here. We're basically in a prison."

"Excuse me?" Ah Yin raises her brows in surprise, "This is one of the most pleasant locations."

"For you, maybe," Ja Yin scoffs, "This place is boring as hell!"

"Alright, so we leave for the Sea God Island as planned," Ja Sun smiles, "And let's bang out a new training session!"

"Come on," Bibi Dong rolls her eyes.

"What? Xie Yue isn't here," Ja Sun scoffs, "And try being away from good stuff for hundreds and thousands of years... just focusing on the law of Time. It's fun for some time only!"

"Then... can I bang out a new training session, too?" Xiao Wu asks cutely.

"Well, have you reached rank 60? I remember the deal was reaching rank 60, right?"

Xiao Wu is about to pout when Xiao Bei clears her throat and continues in her usual spirited tone, "No? We promised Rank 50 for her and Rank 80 for myself!"

Xiao Bei is already close to reaching the rank of a Titled Douluo but even she would like to Bang out a new training session.

Xiao Wu's eyes glint and she nods hurriedly.

A moment of confusion flashes across Ja Sun's face when Bi Ji gives the mother-daughter pair a sidelong glance, "Please don't listen to these two troublemakers. You were right the first time."

"Really?" Ja Sun deflates, "Now I feel bad. Sorry guys, we'll bang later."

"A new training session, right?" Oscar chuckles and Ja Sun looks at him with a smile that everyone understands.

"Hmph, it's pathetic," Bing Bing scoffs.

"Huh?" Ja Sun looks at her in confusion again.

"Why are you looking at me like that?.. wait... you don't remember?" Bing Bing frowns.

"What?"

"You said you wanted to..." Bing Bing looks around and snorts in annoyance, "Forget it!"

"Wait... no, I remember saying I want you to lick my popsicle," Ja Sun waves his hand and remarks bluntly, making the Ice Scorpion Empress speechless but his next words make everyone speechless.

"But... didn't I already do that? Or did I just dream of it while on that trippy trip?"

"You... what?" Bing Bing gasps.

"Yeah? Didn't we already do it?" Ja Sun cocks his head sideways.

"No, we didn't!" Bing Bing snaps and Ja Sun looks at her seriously...

"Ah Yin and I did it... so did Bibi Dong. We're married... Erlong and Zi Ji together," the fact that Ja Sun began counting on his fingers salted a lot of nuts but he continues regardless, "And then... Yuehua and Ja Yin? Yeah, we definitely did it."

Yuehua rolls her eyes and blushes meanwhile Ja Yin nods with a smug grin.

"Then Bi Ji and Bing Bing, oh wait, Feng Liu was there, too, on her knees—"

"That never happened," Bi Ji retorts calmly.

"Exactly!" Bing Bing huffs.

"Wait a minute... he could be onto something. What exactly was I doing on my knees?" Feng Liu questions with an eager expression.

"Eating Violet out?" Ja Sun grins and Violet's gaze falls sideways and her cheeks heat up.

"And I suppose I was doing something strange, too?" Snow narrows her eyes and Ja Sun shakes his head, "I... kind of forgot you entirely," he adds with a shrug, "We haven't really clicked I guess but it's a bummer. Not only that but I only imagined all that..."

The group falls silent and Ja Sun scratches his cheek without any hint of awkwardness and shame, "So, are we done here? I need to recheck all the arrays so that we can get on with our voyage."

"You don't just drop your perverted imagination on us and leave like that!" Bing Bing hisses.

"You can't do anything about my imagination," Ja Sun explains with a smile, "You can't even vent by beating me. You can't even stop me if I ever hold any ulterior motive and even with your nature, you should be aware of all this. So, for you to still obsess over it when Snow and Bi Ji don't mean... you want me to do something about it just being imagination?"

Bing Bing stares at Ja Sun in shock while Bibi Dong clears her throat, "Or... she's just pissed."

"Please, you cannot be pissed at adorable things," Ja Sun shrugs.

"I know, right?!" Xiao Wu grins.

"You're far from it... but alright," Ah Yin shrugs.

"Hmph, whatever. I'm leaving!" Bing Bing scoffs and leaves the table while Snow lets out a tired sigh. Brushing her snow-white strands behind her ear, she smiles, "I'm glad at your gains this closed-door cultivation session, Beast God. But I'll take my leave, too."

"Sure," Ja Sun nods, "And I don't remember if I have said this already but you guys can just call me by my name. Beast God is for my enemies... and followers. You guys aren't any of it."

Snow nods with a smile and leaves while Xie Xan laughs and adopts a tone similar to Ja Sun, "Hey, I'm Beast God... but for you, I'd be a Beast God in chains. No, it should be Blue Silver vines, right?"

"Pot calling the kettle bitch?" Ja Sun looks at Xie Xan and the father of one shrugs.

"Hey... while we all are together and at the same table. I... we have some news."

Oscar stands up.

"You guys are pregnant! I always knew it!" Hu Lana chuckles.

"What gave it away, Sister Lana?" Jun'er rolls her eyes while touching her belly.

"We... decided to get married," Oscar smiles and looks at Jun'er, "I admit I have always been slightly afraid of this title but I don't want Jun'er to feel any less loved. And Ja Sun did have some good points back then..."

"Could you remind me?" Ja Sun voices out.

"Bitch paws," Oscar chuckles.

"Ah, yeah, that's all me," Ja Sun grins.

"Anyway... we hoped for Grandmaster to wake up and officiate our marriage but he isn't here. And we don't follow any strict culture so our ceremony will be simple and we were hoping if..."

He looks at Jun'er who nods. She stands slowly and with Oscar's help before looking at Bibi Dong, "Sister Dong... would you honor us by overlooking our marriage. We all became a team because of you and you have always looked out for us."

Bibi Dong's eyes widen before she lets out a gentle sigh and smiles sincerely. With damn water filling the corner of her eyes, she nods, "It would be my honor."

"Hey, just to be clear... I didn't marry anyone else, right? Cause I imagined that a lot," Ja Sun blinks as others stare at him hard.

"Uh... me?" Xiao Bei raises her hand and attracts an equally annoyed look.

Talk about ruining a moment.

But... Ja Sun did leave society for years. He has an excuse. Xiao Bei doesn't. She's just in heat.
