Chapter 984: Shangguan Yan's Dream
Zhang Xiaolong [3] had already arrived at the giant race's living area, and twenty other giants were waiting for him. However, there were only seven female giants among them, which confused him.
"Are you confused by the difference in our numbers?" Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded to Ju Tan, who immediately called three men and two women before them. The male giant pointed to each of them and introduced them to him. "Ju Ning and Ju Zhu are my wife and daughter, and these three men are my sons, Ju Lai, Ju Ming, and Ju Tai."
"Oh? You have many children, huh?" Zhang Xiaolong [3] spoke as he read the status of those five people, and they were much stronger than him when it came to cultivation. 'All of them are truly powerful.'
Ju Ning's cultivation is at the 5-Divine Ascension Realm, like her husband. Ju Zhu's cultivation is at the 1-Divine Ascendant Realm, especially since she is the youngest among them. Their three sons had varying cultivation levels, and they had also reached the Divine Ascension Realm.
"Hahaha!" Ju Tan laughed at that. "Our giant race members in this realm are too few, so we have to work hard to increase our numbers, right?"
"Yeah, you're right." Zhang Xiaolong [3] agreed with that. "Then, who are the others?"
Ju Tan introduced them one by one to Zhang Xiaolong [3], and there were five couples among them, with the remaining five male giants being their sons.
"I see." Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded in understanding. "You all are much stronger than I am, so it feels strange for me to lead you."
"Hahaha." An old giant suddenly laughed and walked in front of him. "Little Tan has already told us about your meeting with our first ancestor, and he has also told us about your test results. Even though you are human, you are also a heavenly fox. Most importantly, you are the successor of the ten-tailed fox, so you are worthy to be our leader."
"Old Guo is right, kid." Another male giant named Ju Ping joined in. "Brother Tan has already discussed his decision with us, and we have agreed to follow you, so please lead us and bring our race back to our glory."
The other giants, both male and female, also begged Zhang Xiaolong [3]. "Please lead us and bring our race back to our glory."
'With them by my side, it will be easier for me to spread the Demon Fox's influence throughout the upper realms. However, they are not strong enough to go to the Paradise Realm, and they have to train in the training space first. Even so, I wouldn't rush to take them there, especially since not all of them have good souls.' Zhang Xiaolong [3] then spoke to him. "I will lead all of you, but I have one condition."
"Please tell us."
"I don't mean to doubt you all, but I also do this to all my subordinates." Ju Tan and the other giants looked seriously at Zhang Xiaolong [3]. "I was betrayed once, and I don't want to be betrayed again by anyone. Therefore, I will plant my soul mark into all of your souls, but you guys don't need to worry because it's not a slave mark, and I can't use it to control you. I took this action as a precautionary measure, particularly considering the potential for change in the hearts and minds of any being. If you are willing to accept it, I will lead you all, and all of you will have a much better future."
"Please implant your soul mark on me and my family." Ju Tan immediately agreed, as did Ju Ning and their four children.
After the six of them released their souls, Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately implanted his soul mark into their souls, and he pushed their souls back into their bodies afterward.
"Thank you, master." Ju Tan and his family spoke simultaneously.
Zhang Xiaolong [3] then turned to the others. "All of you are experienced cultivators, and you guys have already seen my soul mark just now, so you should already know that it's not a slave mark, right?"
"Yes." Ju Guo immediately released his soul. "Please do it."
After Zhang Xiaolong [3] implanted his soul mark into Ju Guo's soul, the other giants took turns releasing their souls, and he implanted his soul mark into them as well.
After everything was finished, Ju Tan asked him. "Do you have other business out there? If you have nothing to do, we hope you can spend some time with us, and we will host you according to the tradition of our giant race."
"Sure." Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately agreed. "I've been busy since yesterday, so I want to relax now. Moreover, Old Ren told me that your race has good wine, so I want to taste it."
"Hahaha!" Ju Ping laughed at that. "Old Ren is right, Master. There are many good winemakers in the natural races, but our wine is the best of the best, and I'm sure you'll enjoy it very much."
"Prepare everything! We will hold a small banquet for our master!" Ju Guo shouted to the others.
All of them immediately left the place, except for Ju Tan. However, Zhang Xiaolong [3] continued to stare at Ju Zhu, who was helping her mother to prepare something.
[Are you interested in Ju Zhu, Master? She is stronger than you and quite pretty, and you don't have a giant race in your harem yet, so I thought you could approach her and take her as one.]
'Hmm?' Zhang Xiaolong [3] looked serious as he contemplated Mei's words.
Although Ju Zhu's body was really tall and muscular, and her body was also covered in scars, she was still more beautiful than the average woman. Her round face was symmetrical, and she had wide, almond-shaped eyes with brown pupils. Her lips were full of a soft, natural pink. Her long, jet-black hair flows down her back. Her silhouette was curvy yet toned, with broad shoulders and long, shapely legs. She wore a leather outfit made from beast skins, accentuating her sizeable breasts and perfectly defined curves.
"Are you interested in my daughter, master?" Ju Tan's question woke Zhang Xiaolong [3] from his thoughts. "Even though there are five single men here, she has never been interested in them, and she has always hoped to find partners from other races. Unfortunately, members of the other races are not interested in her, mainly because of her muscular and scarred body."
"They are stupid if they judge someone because of their physique." Zhang Xiaolong [3] replied as he shook his head. "Even though your daughter looks muscular and has too many scars on her body, I can say that she is more beautiful than many women in this place. I admit that I am attracted to your daughter, but she won't necessarily be interested in me, especially since I have more than a hundred women by my side."
"Hahaha!" Ju Tan immediately burst into laughter before repeatedly patting his shoulder. "Master, your body is this small, but you actually have so many women by your side. I don't mean to look down on you, but are you able to satisfy them all in bed?"
Zhang Xiaolong [3] smirked in response. "Old Ju, believe me, you will never be able to match me when it comes to sex. Have you forgotten that I am a demon? My demon identity is not an ordinary demon but a transcendent lust demon, so you should understand my strength in sex, right?"
"Oh?" Ju Tan was taken aback for a moment. "All natural races know that you are a demon, but I have never known about your demon identity, and I only found out today. Since you are a lust demon, you are certainly much stronger than most men, including a giant like me."
"Haha." Zhang Xiaolong [3] laughed at that. "Being a lust demon has many advantages and disadvantages, but the most troublesome thing is that I became too lustful after becoming one, and I had a very hard time stopping myself from increasing my number of women. Honestly, I never imagined I would become a lust demon, but I now thoroughly enjoy my life as one. By the way, you don't have to say anything to your daughter, and I will approach her myself."
"All right."
Sometime later, the giants had finished preparing a small banquet for Zhang Xiaolong [3], and they immediately began to prepare it. Some giants played musical instruments of their race to entertain him, and some others accompanied him to drink wine and enjoy the dishes.

Ren Xiyi sat at the foot of the bed with her legs crossed over each other, and she propped her chin on her hand as she looked at Qian Shuang, who was pensive in front of the mirror.
'She said she wanted to forget Zhang Xiaolong, but she never stopped thinking about him these few days, and she kept daydreaming because of him.' Ren Xiyi immediately walked behind Qian Shuang, hugged her from behind, and shared the memories she got from him. "Look at them first, and you will be surprised after seeing them."
Qian Shuang nodded and looked at Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s memories, and her expression turned jealous after she saw the beauty of all his women. Like Ren Xiyi, she was also amazed by their closeness, and they were so cheerful as if there was no burden at all to share a husband with their large number. "When did he share his memories with you?"
"When I picked him up outside earlier, so I gave it to you now." Qian Shuang nodded in understanding to Ren Xiyi, who immediately lifted her to her feet. "Do you want to see him? He should be in the giant race's residential area right now, especially since they're having such a party."
Qian Shuang shook her head. "I would rather not meet him yet, and I'd rather go somewhere else. However, we have to pick up Qian Bing and the others first, so the atmosphere will be more lively."
"All right, let's pick them up, and we'll have fun there."

The day passed quickly, and night had fallen again. Zhang Xiaolong [3] was quite drunk, even though he had used his Qi to neutralize the alcohol from the giant race's wine.
Zhang Xiaolong [3] decided not to return to his residence, and he stayed in the room that Ju Tan's wife had prepared for him. After he lay down on the beast skin bed, he immediately thought of Shangguan Yan before activating his dream ability.
A while later, Zhang Xiaolong [3] arrived at a vast expanse of fields filled with various kinds of colorful flowers, which was Shangguan Yan's dream. "Hmm? She seemed to be feeling lonely, so she dreamed of this place."
Zhang Xiaolong [3] then looked for Shangguan Yan, and he found her enjoying herself by lying on a pile of flowers.
Noticing his arrival, Shangguan Yan opened her eyes before falling into a daze, looking at Zhang Xiaolong [3], who was smiling at her.
'Why did he appear here? I didn't feel like thinking about him, but he's in front of me now.' Shangguan Yan shook her head and rubbed her head a few times, but Zhang Xiaolong [3] was still standing in front of her, confusing her.
Shangguan Yan then stood up, walked in front of Zhang Xiaolong [3], and cupped his face. "Are you really him? How could you appear in front of me?"
"Yes." Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded at her. "I am him, and I appeared here because you keep thinking about him."
Shangguan Yan pulled her hands back and shook her head again. "Impossible! He is still too young, so I have never thought about him at all!"
"If you didn't think about him, I would never have appeared here." Zhang Xiaolong [3] then looked at the surrounding area. "Look at this place. This place is your dream, so everything that appears or happens here is your subconscious desire."
