Chapter 8 The silver dragonfish is incredibly delicious and a must-try.
Di Qiu lay outside Bi Ji's cave, basking in the sun while watching Di Tian, Bi Ji, Zi Ji, Huo Yutong, and the others who were also organizing supplies outside. He was a little bored.
"Yutong, what do you want to eat? Uncle Chiwang and I will go catch it."
Speaking of the Red King, because his beast form is quite frightening, he always hides not far away. If his beast form is frightening, wouldn't his human form be better?
So he transformed into human form and walked over.
Huo Yutong was so frightened that she immediately dropped the storage soul tool in her hand.
Because the Crimson King transformed into a red-haired giant with three heads...which makes perfect sense, as the Crimson King is Cerberus.
"Red King, from now on, you can just remain in your beast form," Di Tian said.
The Red King immediately transformed back into his beast form, shrinking his size to become the two-meter-tall Hell Three-Headed Hell.
"Yutong, what do you want to eat?" Diqiu asked again.
"...Just a few fish will do, thank you Qiu'er."
Emperor Qiu and the Red King ran away.
"Yu Tong, we are all soul beasts. Most soul beasts are beast-shaped. Those that can transform into human form need more than 200,000 years of cultivation," Bi Ji said.
"There are few as cute as Xiao Qiu'er; most are as frightening as the Red King," Zi Ji said.
...Actually, the fright that Senior Red King's human form gave me was much greater than that of his beast form.
Huo Yutong calmed herself down and continued searching for the Shrek City pass.
Di Tian only remembered the household registration and travel permit after they told him about them. It was alright, he could read. Thanks to his memories from the parallel world, and thanks to the fact that human writing hadn't changed for tens of thousands of years.
Di Tian thought of the expressions on the faces of the humans at the Spirit Pagoda when they signed contracts with them and learned that the humans were illiterate... Later, they also learned human writing.
But the human contract is way too thick, dozens of pages long, nearly 100,000 words...
Huo Yuhao ascended to heaven, taking with him powerful soul beasts such as the Evil Emperor, the Two Ice and Snow Emperors, the Ice Bear King, and the Mermaid Princess.
His own tribulation was approaching, and if he were to die in the tribulation, there would be no more powerful beings on land to scare humans. Moreover, he wanted to wait for the Silver Dragon King to emerge from seclusion. So, not long after Huo Yuhao ascended, Di Tian deliberately went into a deep sleep and did not wake up until decades before the Silver Dragon King emerged from seclusion.
Di Tian ended his recollection and continued searching for the road guide in his soul tool. He thought about how he would inevitably have to deal with humans in the future. After Bi Ji and the others left, he would teach Xing Dou and the other soul beasts to learn human writing... Even many years later, every time Di Tian thought of this decision, his blood pressure would rise uncontrollably.
"The spiritual herbs have been collected." The young man, who was the incarnation of the Demon King, came over with a bunch of spiritual herbs wrapped in a spherical barrier made of soul power floating around him.
"Hehe, delicious spiritual herbs..." Tianmeng floated out.
"Lord Electrolux, is this enough?"
"That's enough." Electrolux floated out as well.
Then, Biji took out a storage soul tool and stored these spiritual herbs separately.
"What are you worried about?" the King of Ten Thousand Demons asked.
Brigitte talked about the household registration and travel permits.
"Perhaps... we don't need to be so fixated on 'creating' a household registration."
Every year, a large number of people go missing or die due to natural disasters, wars, or attacks by spirit beasts.
Their household registrations became "ownerless." We only need to find a few "identities" that match in age and gender, and are indeed no longer alive, and borrow them," said the Demon King.
"Good idea, King of Ten Thousand Demons. Go search the forest for any remaining storage soul tools of the deceased soul masters. Maybe there are household registration records inside," Di Tian said.
"Dad, we're back! Uncle Demon King, let's eat fish together later."
Huo Yutong silently watched the Crimson King, who was holding two hundred-meter-long silver dragonfish.
...She didn't seem to specify how big the fish was.
"Just cut a small piece and cook it, that's enough for you and Qiu'er to eat," said Biji.
"Soul beasts have always been eaten raw," Zi Ji said.
"Moreover, we ferocious beasts no longer need to eat," Di Tian said.
Huo Yutong felt embarrassed to eat alone with Di Qiu, so she suggested that she teach them how to cook.
Huo Yutong taught Biji and Ziji how to scale the fish, remove the internal organs, and marinate it with seasonings.
The Demon King used his soul power to manipulate trees, creating a 100-meter-long branch, and also collected branches for grilling fish.
The Red King offered his own flames to grill the fish.
Following Huo Yutong's instructions, Di Tian turned the grilled fish around.
Silver arowana is incredibly delicious and a must-try.
After roasting, cut it into sections and place it on lotus leaves, its aroma wafting for miles.
Even Xiong Jun, who was recovering from his injuries, was attracted by the aroma, and tears involuntarily streamed down his face.
"This was made by humans. Even if I, Old Bear, jumped off the mountain and died of hunger here, I wouldn't eat a single bite," Bear King thought to himself.
"Mr. Xiong, come out." Di Tian said.
If you don't want to use your mental power to transform into human form, then shrink your size to within three meters. This sentence was transmitted through mental power alone.
Xiong Jun wiped his drool, shrunk in size, and walked out of the woods.
Then Xiong Jun really liked it.
After all, the soul beasts have only ever eaten raw food and have never experienced the deliciousness of cooked food.
After they finished eating, well, there was actually still a silver arowana, but Di Qiu and Huo Yutong were both full, so the silver arowana was put in a stream not far away and saved for tomorrow.
"Next, there's the issue of household registration. Huo Yutong and Biji Ziji are going to Shrek City, so travel permits are easy to obtain. As for household registration, the Demon King has already come up with a solution; we can borrow unclaimed ones."
"To find the household registrations, we must collect the supplies of the Soul Hunters who died in Xingdou," said Di Tian.
"Why go through all that trouble! Who are we? We are the overlords of the Star Dou Great Forest!"
Why would we need that kind of thing when we're going to human lands?! If you ask me, we should just go to Shrek City!
"Anyone who dares to stop us or ask us for that damn household registration, I, Old Bear, will swat them to death with one paw!" said Xiong Jun.
Di Tian's face darkened at a visible speed. "Bear Lord, if you have nothing but muscles in your brain, then shut up and stay put!"
If you dare spout nonsense again, I won't hesitate to let you experience the power of the Dragon God's Claw once more!
Xiong Jun looked embarrassed and fell silent.
"I'd like to ask, Biji, what identity should Ziji use when you accompany me to register?" Huo Yutong asked.
"Let the older sister make this up. Since we're together, let's just pretend we're relatives," Tianmeng said.
"We'll need a pseudonym, and our ages will have to be faked too. Why don't we pretend to be Yu Tong's older sister? That would be more convenient," Electrolux suggested.
After all, Brigitte and Violet look to be only in their early twenties.
Next, they began to take action. Di Tian and Huo Yutong, the only two literate humans and beasts, resigned themselves to searching for usable household registrations among a pile of storage soul tools, while Bi Ji sorted out the soul coins, classifying them into different bags, as there were many places in the human world where money was needed.
The Demon King, Xiong Jun, and Zi Ji summoned beasts to search for scattered human supplies.
Before sending Xiong Jun to gather soul beasts to collect supplies, Di Tian had Bi Ji heal Xiong Jun's injuries. When Di Tian used the Dragon God Claw to strike Xiong Jun, he did not use his full strength, and Xiong Jun's injuries were not serious.
Tianmeng and Yi Lao fabricated false identities for Biji and Ziji.
Di Qiu was wondering what to eat tomorrow, and the Crimson King said that he was the bodyguard of the auspicious beast.
As night deepened, the Crimson King left with Di Qiu. Huo Yutong was told by Bi Ji to rest, and Bi Ji took out the spiritual herbs from before and told her to absorb them before going to sleep.
Biji continued searching for soul tools with Ditian outside the cave under the moonlight.
