At the core of Star Dou Forest, the Lake of Life.
"Tap~ tap tap tap~ tap~"
Humming a tune, "Lan Fozi" walked towards the Lake of Life, her steps gradually becoming more natural. Nana Li controlled Lan Fozi's body as she made her way there.
Because of Lan Fozi's identity as the Beast King and her frequent presence behind Di Tian, her entrance here was not obstructed.
At this stage, the few fierce beasts still remaining in Star Dou Forest didn't mind when they noticed "Lan Fozi" entering. It was quite normal for someone with such an active personality to wander around.
Everything worked perfectly for Nana Li, providing her with an excellent opportunity.
It was like a quest game where the player, Nana Li, wore a skin with hidden attributes, passing through levels, traps, small monsters, and mini-bosses, none of which noticed her as she smoothly reached the final boss, Di Tian.
However, at this moment, the boss, Di Tian, had applied a debuff and a negative buff to himself.
Visible to the eyes, Di Tian's mental power extended outward, fully invested in the forging of a divine artifact.
"Lan Fozi" narrowed her eyes slightly.
The time, place, and situation were all in her favor.
Now was the moment to act, or it would be too late!
With a swift movement, "Lan Fozi" dashed into Di Tian's arms like a statue, as if she had something in her mouth, forcefully pressing it against Di Tian's lips with repeated force.
Then, blue flames suddenly erupted from Lan Fozi's body.
Controlled by Nana Li's complete consciousness, the life fire of the Deep Sea Magic Whale King blazed intensely.
The sudden change startled Di Tian, and most of the energy he had invested in forging the artifact was instantly redirected. Only a small portion of his energy remained to ensure the stability of the Life Furnace and the artifact's constant state, preventing it from collapsing. His mental power retracted back into his body.
As his external mental power turned back, his senses immediately came alive.
The feeling of Lan Fozi's soft, tender lips, like the peeled skin of a coconut, left an undeniable mark.
However, in the next moment, the sensation of her lips was quickly pushed away.
Nevertheless, Lan Fozi's body was not discarded but was still held in Di Tian's arms, as she had been following behind him for some time now.
A significant portion of his mental power was focused on Lan Fozi, using his immense soul power to suppress the raging life fire she had ignited.
If only Lan Fozi had ignited her own life fire, it would have been relatively easy for Di Tian to suppress it.
After all, Lan Fozi was merely a Deep Sea Magic Whale Beast King.
But since Nana Li's consciousness had ignited it, Di Tian would have to put in some effort to suppress it.
Furthermore, his focus was divided between the Life Furnace, suppressing Lan Fozi's burning life fire, and dealing with Nana Li's consciousness infiltrating his body.
Di Tian, whose previously smooth forehead was now furrowed with lines of strain, was clearly irritated.
No one liked being interrupted while focusing on their work.
And the disturbance Nana Li caused was indeed quite troublesome.
However, trouble was fine as long as it didn't lead to disastrous results.
Since the time Nana Li had shown interest in him and left of her own accord, Di Tian had been mentally prepared for this nuisance.
Trouble was acceptable, but disastrous consequences were not!
The sugar-coated bullet Nana Li brought—once the sugar was sucked off, the bullet would be discarded.
Nana Li's spiritual artifact, Di Tian would still take it!
Inside his body, Nana Li, taking advantage of Di Tian's apparent hunger for her complete control, became increasingly bold.
Her consciousness transformed into a purple illusory serpent that slithered and coiled, emitting satisfied moans, a deep sense of pleasure from the depths of her soul.
Until she reached a crossroads, Nana Li's sense of fulfillment was interrupted.
She had chosen to target Di Tian's heart rather than his mental sea.
By swallowing Di Tian's heart, she would gain the foundational power to compete for control of his body.
She avoided touching Di Tian's mental sea, knowing that his mental power surpassed hers, and it would be unwise to disturb that.
But when she encountered a path before her, Nana Li discovered two hearts within Di Tian's body!
How could a true dragon soul beast have two hearts?!
Confusion filled Nana Li's mind, but time didn't allow for too much contemplation.
Perhaps because the people of the Holy Spirit Sect liked to challenge the impossible.
Or perhaps because Nana Li was only willing to believe that the stronger heart belonged to Di Tian.
Without hesitation, she moved toward the path leading to the Dragon God core.
Yes! The very heart of the Dragon God that had existed for countless years! The ultimate artifact constantly radiating god-level power!
The young and inexperienced Nana Li, undeterred by the threat of death, boldly approached the super artifact, the Dragon God core.
Outside her body.
Having just suppressed the flames of life ignited by Lan Fozi, Di Tian placed her body gently on the soft grass. His expression suddenly changed!
"Damn it!"
"My spiritual artifact!"
Di Tian's golden dragon pupils instantly narrowed, and his consciousness shifted inward.
A purple serpent, formed from Nana Li's spiritual power, was approaching the Dragon God core, opening its massive jaws to devour the "heart of Di Tian."
Unfortunately, the moment the serpent's sharp fangs brushed the colorful aura surrounding the Dragon God core…
"Ah!!"
A searing pain, as if his consciousness was being torn apart, surged through Nana Li's illusory serpent, causing cracks to spread across its body like a spiderweb.
Her spiritual power was nearly destroyed, but just in time, Di Tian's internal consciousness arrived.
"Groan—"
A dragon-shaped mental claw reached out, rescuing Nana Li's consciousness.
After examining her spiritual state, a sense of relief washed over him: "Fortunately, it's still salvageable. I can patch it up."
A minor commotion that wasn't even a full-fledged battle had brought Di Tian a stimulation almost as intense as his zero-sum battles with human gods.
Nana Li, this girl, was truly too much of a stimulant.
After a moment of dazed contemplation, he shook his head and cleared his mind of those scattered thoughts.
"Forget it, at least I got the spiritual artifact."
With a blink of his golden eyes, his vision returned to the outside world.
A pair of beautiful azure eyes, like the waves of the ocean, filled Di Tian's vision.
The owner of those eyes was, of course, the now-awake Lan Fozi.
She met Di Tian's golden, piercing gaze, and a strange red hue appeared on her cheeks.
The reason for her blushing wasn't because Nana Li had used her body to press her coconut-like lips against Di Tian's. If Di Tian wanted, she'd be willing for a few more kisses.
