Brigitte felt the flush on her face gradually fade before she lowered her hand.
She asked softly, "Did your brother tell you about the history of the divine realm?"
Dongfang Yao nodded: "Yes, it's written in detail in the letter. It's so melodramatic!"
"Luckily, I'm not a soul beast. Otherwise, even if I cultivated for 990,000 years, I would still be restricted by those rules and eventually die because I couldn't break through."
Brigitte's gaze drifted to the window, lost in distant memories.
"My troubles are not just about what you just mentioned."
She sighed.
"Back then, one day after my cultivation broke through 100,000 years and I became a 100,000-year-old soul beast, Di Tian found me."
"I was very surprised at the time because I had already developed intelligence, so I knew clearly how noble his status was."
"Di Tian talked to me a lot and envisioned the future."
"I don't remember many of the details of what we talked about."
"But I clearly remember that he once said that his wish was to revive all the soul beasts on the continent."
"Coincidentally, I also hope that the spirit beasts in the forest can live in peace."
"We were of the same mind. He brought the injured soul beasts to me, and I treated them."
"And so, more and more soul beasts were willing to follow us from the bottom of their hearts."
"My cultivation talent is even better than Di Tian's. With the influence of the Di Emperor Beast, my two hundred thousand-year tribulation will soon arrive."
"My true form is an emerald swan, which is far too weak. Even though I managed to break through to 100,000 years old with the help of numerous rare treasures and guardian soul beasts, I absolutely cannot survive this 200,000-year tribulation."
"But fortunately, I was protected by the Heavenly Emperor."
"I successfully survived the great tribulation of two hundred thousand years and cultivated myself into human form."
"Now that I think about it, perhaps Di Tian saw my talent for cultivation and told me more secrets about the Soul Beast Lord and the God Realm."
"He told me that his true purpose was to resurrect the Dragon God and thus lead the Soul Beast race to its peak."
"Having worked with Di Tian for so many years, to be honest, his assertiveness and decisiveness have deeply attracted me."
"Moreover, he has repeatedly helped me survive the major calamity that occurs every 100,000 times, saving my life. I...!"
Brigitte paused, finding it difficult to continue.
Dongfang Yao, being a woman herself, also expressed her understanding.
"Sister Brigitte, I understand."
Biji smiled gently and continued, "Di Tian is sincere in his treatment of soul beasts, dragon gods, and even me."
"But now is a critical time, and we don't have the time or energy to think about other things."
And so, year after year passed.
"We both knew what the other was thinking, but neither of us dared to break the ice and take our relationship a step closer."
"After that, Di Tian captured an ice silkworm, and all the ferocious beasts except me went into a deep sleep on their own and began to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth released by the ice silkworm. In this way, their cultivation level could be greatly improved in a short period of time."
"It is estimated that in ten thousand years, several ferocious beasts over three hundred thousand years old will be born in the Star Dou Great Forest. They are irreplaceable."
"So, they slumber, and I stand guard beside them, protecting them..."
Finally, Brigitte suddenly stopped talking.
Dongfang Yao blinked and pressed, "And then?"
Brigitte lowered her head, her voice becoming somewhat hesitant.
"Then... as you know, I met Little Mirror, and he became my disciple."
"Then, we lived together. He told me about many novel things I had never heard of before, and he treated me extremely well, with such gentleness and tenderness..."
Dongfang Yao raised an eyebrow.
"What about Di Tian? Isn't he good to my sister?"
Brigitte slowly shook her head, organizing her thoughts.
"No, how should I put it? I usually live in the Emerald Swan Clan. Di Tian... often comes to me when he needs my help with treatment. On other days... he will come to chat with me, but that's rare."
Her words gradually faded until they disappeared completely.
However, the blush on her cheeks deepened, and even her fair earlobes turned pink.
"And the little mirror, he...he..."
As Brigitte spoke, she became unable to finish her sentences.
Dongfang Yao rolled her eyes inwardly. Where was the slightest bit of an elder's demeanor?
Please, please stop flashing my camera.
She simply stated it directly, speaking up for Brigitte.
"Is it because of my brother's appearance that you felt all the excitement and tenderness that you couldn't feel from Di Tian, but now you feel it all from my brother?"
"So that for the first time, you, sister, can feel that you are also a thirsty female who is loved by a male?"
That's too blunt.
Brigitte's cheeks were burning hot, and her voice was barely audible.
"Hmm, more or less..."
"My God!"
Dongfang Yao slapped her forehead, realizing that her sister Biji must also be hopelessly love-struck, and couldn't help but blurt out her thoughts.
"I'm so envious of you."
"Huh? What?"
Brigitte's emerald green eyes widened, wondering if she had misheard.
Little sister, do you dare say it again?
Dongfang Yao pretended to be nonchalant and continued, "Sister Biji, things are already like this, what else is there to worry about?"
"The rise and fall of the Soul Beast race is actually inextricably linked to the Dragon God, the will of the universe, human deities, and so on."
"So you suspect that Di Tian knew about this? And that he deliberately concealed the truth from you? In order to make their dragon clan the only dominant force, making it easier for them to rule over the other soul beast races?"
"Does this go against your original intention of 'allowing all soul beasts to coexist harmoniously'?"
Dongfang Yao cut to the chase: "So you're confused and don't know what to do. Am I right or wrong?"
Brigitte remained silent and nodded slightly.
Dongfang Yao stroked her chin and offered effective advice: "Sister, if you ask me, when you return to the forest, just ask Di Tian directly. Why bother with all this roundabout stuff? Once you hear an answer from Di Tian, I believe you will reach your own conclusion! There's no point in you continuing to worry here."
"Yes." Brigitte had actually been planning to do so, but she hadn't found a suitable person to confide in before.
The frustration was stuck in her heart, making her absent-minded.
Now that Dongfang Yao, this kind and intelligent girl, has arrived, Biji's mood has naturally become much lighter.
"Thank you, Yao'er," Bi Ji said gratefully.
"No need to thank me. If you want to thank me, sister, you should make a decision quickly and find an opportunity to express your feelings to my brother!"
"From what I've observed, based on your tone of voice and facial expressions..."
"It's obvious that you prefer Dongfang Jing to Di Tian!"
"If you want to argue that you spent more time with Di Tian, then I'm sorry, but I can only say that, Sister Biji, you've changed your mind!"
"Your heart has been stolen by my brother!"
These words left Brigitte's mind blank, and her beautiful face turned bright red once again.
She reached out and covered Dongfang Yao's mouth, lowering her voice.
"Keep your voice down, or the people downstairs will hear you!"
Dongfang Yao pried her hands off, a triumphant smile on her face.
"Sis, look how much better you are now, you've completely recovered!"
Brigitte smiled helplessly, realizing that the knot in her heart had indeed dissipated quite a bit.
However, this was all thanks to Dongfang Yao listening nearby and offering such a surprising opinion.
This child is so endearing.
Thinking this, Biji reached out and affectionately patted Dongfang Yao's head.
