"Has there been a problem with the seal on the sea god?"
“Yes, the seal on the Sea God has malfunctioned. But the Sea God is currently in the Sea of Bitterness, which is his birthplace. My divine sense cannot probe that place, so I don’t know exactly what happened. And I cannot leave here, so I need you to go to the Sea of Bitterness.”
Before Lin Qianqian could answer whether she was going or not, Yun Ze spoke first.
"Beast God, I'm afraid that even if we went to the Sea of Bitterness, we wouldn't be able to solve the problem with our strength. After all, even you couldn't deal with that black creature, which means it's a being of god-demon level."
"Yes, it comes from a very high-level dimensional plane. These are fragments of memories that I have been trying to extract from it for thousands of years."
As the Beast God spoke, a ball of light appeared in his palm.
The Beast God raised the ball of light into the air, then crushed it. A series of bizarre and fantastical images then appeared before the three of them.
It was a highly civilized world, teeming with myriad races, intelligent beings traversing the stars, mechs and spaceships filling the skies, where humans could become gods or demons, tearing apart mechs and warships with their bare hands. It was a world where humans, gods, and demons clashed with insectoid races, constantly fighting for survival.
Seeing this, Lin Qianqian's thoughts wandered again. She wondered how many days they could survive if the mall transported them to that kind of dimension.
After all, the martial arts in that dimension were too powerful, and the level of power was very high.
Lin Qianqian's thoughts wandered, but Yun Ze's did not.
"It's so powerful, what use would it be for us to go there? What problems could it solve?"
“It’s useful. The power of life is its nemesis. As long as she controls and uses the power of life well, she can get rid of that black creature.”
"But……"
Yunze wanted to say something, but Lin Qianqian stopped him and spoke first.
"My Lord Beast God, I will do my best!"
Yunze was unhappy that Lin Qianqian agreed so quickly. With her current body, it was impossible for her to fully release her divinity and transform the spiritual power in her body into divine power.
You should know that even just releasing a little bit of divinity and converting a little bit of divine power would cause Qianqian's body to suffer excruciating pain, like being cut into a thousand pieces.
What about fully unleashing divinity and mastering divine power?
But Lin Qianqian was adamant this time, refusing to let Yunze say anything more.
No matter how difficult it is, we must do it, because the task absolutely must be completed!
When the Beast God saw that Lin Qianqian had agreed, he gave her a slight smile.
"You should go back now, the Dragon Clan has arrived."
After she finished speaking, the scene before Lin Qianqian and Yunze changed again, and they returned to the Deer Priest's courtyard.
The orcs in front of them were still repeating their previous actions, as if they didn't know they had left.
Only the Priestess of Deer Grass seemed to know something, and rose to bow to Lin Qianqian and Yun Ze again.
"No need for such formalities, we have already gotten the answer we wanted, thank you for your help."
"I wouldn't dare, this old beast is very happy to be of help to the divine messenger!"
As the two left the bamboo house of the Luccao and strolled back to the mall, Lin Qianqian couldn't help but ask Yunze a question.
Should we tell others about what we saw and heard in the illusion?
Yunze gave his suggestion after only a few breaths of thought.
"Don't tell them for now. First, their strength is too low to be of much help, and knowing too much will only cause them more trouble. They should stay here, guard the mall, conduct transactions, and try to complete the first two tasks as soon as possible. Second, our soul problem should not be known to too many people."
Lin Qianqian thought it made a lot of sense: "Then let's complete the second half of the third task. We can leave the other two and a half tasks to Luo Zexuan and Chu Zhou."
"Two and a half?"
“Yes, two and a half. Teaching the orcs to read and cultivate is none of our business. Once the pollution is resolved and the orcs can cultivate, we’ll leave that to Old Taoist Zhang from Chuzhou. We’re not good at this; let the professionals handle the professional stuff.”
“Yes, Madam’s arrangement is excellent!” Yunze immediately agreed, genuinely believing that Qianqian’s decision was wise.
After the matter was settled, the two felt relieved and happily held hands as they continued walking towards the mall.
As soon as they entered the mall, they saw Luo Zexuan leading a group of people toward the conference room.
Sensing the familiar presence, Luo Zexuan turned around and greeted them.
"Boss, Mr. Yunze, we have a dragon guest."
When there are outsiders present, Luo Zexuan and the others don't call her Qianqian; they all call her Boss.
Upon hearing Luo Zexuan's words, the entire dragon clan stopped in their tracks and turned around in unison.
Wow, as expected of dragons, their figures are either fit or burly, and their appearances are all unique, but they all have one thing in common: they are handsome, very handsome!
But none of them can compare to her Yunze!
Just as the Beast God announced that the Dragon Clan had arrived, Lin Qianqian thought she might have to wait a while, but they had already arrived.
"Everyone, I am Lin Qianqian, the owner of this interdimensional mall. Welcome!"
After hearing her self-introduction, the handsome dragon men stood in two rows, and a cute little boy about 1.2 meters tall walked out from the back of the line.
He approached Lin Qianqian and performed the highest salute of the Dragon Clan: "Boss Lin, hello! I am Long Yi, the new patriarch of the Dragon Clan."
Looking at the little boy in front of her, who had a chubby face but was acting all mature, Lin Qianqian's hands were itching to pinch him.
"Hold on, hold on!" Lin Qianqian nodded seriously and led them all into the conference room.
In the conference room, there is a long conference table, with each side seating more than a dozen people.
Lin Qianqian and the others sat on the left, while the dragon clan members sat on the right.
Of course, compared to the left side where there were empty seats, the right side had a row of people sitting and a row of people standing.
Lin Qianqian and Long Yi, who were sitting at the head of the table, looked at each other for a minute without saying a word.
Finally, Wen Mingyue broke the silence first, asking, "Dragon Clan guests, what do you wish to trade at the mall this time?"
The little boy sighed, "The first thing we need to trade is salt."
"Huh? Dragons also lack salt? Isn't your Dragon Island surrounded by the sea?"
Hearing Lin Qianqian's question, Long Yi said helplessly, "Dragons need to consume a certain amount of salt regularly during their infancy in order to grow and develop normally. However, the salt that the sea tribe sells to the outside world is basically contaminated and cannot be eaten."
Upon hearing this answer, the group from the mall exchanged glances.
They understood why the sea creatures had come to the mall to buy salt a few days ago, and why they wanted to buy it all.
They don't want to eat uncontaminated salt; they're afraid that others will buy uncontaminated salt.
That's quite a clever plan. Hmm, I'll need to talk to them later!
"Buying salt is no problem, what else?" Lin Qianqian asked Long Yi.
"Besides salt, there are many other things we want. However, these are secondary; our main purpose in coming here is..."
Long Yi looked at Lin Qianqian and the others, unsure of what to say. He remained silent for several seconds before readjusting his tone.
"The Beast God said you came to help the Beast World Continent and can be trusted. So I would like to ask you to heal the Dragon God."
Heal the Dragon God? Lin Qianqian and Yun Ze on her right exchanged a glance, recalling the Dragon God who had been taken away by two dragons in the illusion.
It turns out that even after all these years, his injury still hasn't healed!
