Douluo Dalu: Beginning with Signing in with Yan Lingji

(GodOfReader: Sadly, there's no Ch 168)

After leaving the Soto Grand Battle Arena, Zhao Ming asked Ning Rongrong and the others to return to the academy while he headed to the Rose Hotel.

He had left Zi Ji there for more than a day. If he didn't visit her soon, she might feel neglected. Although she now regarded him as her master and wouldn't openly show anger, in his heart, she was his beloved secretary.

Zi Ji was his woman, and it was only a matter of time before she truly became his.

How could he let such a beautiful woman feel sad?

Inside the Rose Hotel, in the room filled with the scent of roses.

Zi Ji wore a purple and black body-hugging mid-length dress, accentuating her mature and voluptuous figure. Her graceful posture and mature, enchanting demeanor exuded a seductive aura that could steal one's soul.

At that moment, she stood by the window, her beautiful eyes gazing into the distance, filled with disappointment and sadness.

It seemed her master had forgotten about her. Perhaps she had hoped for too much. To him, she was likely just a subordinate.

She was the Hell Demon Dragon King, one of the most powerful beasts in the Star Dou Forest, having lived for over two hundred thousand years. But she was also a woman who yearned for sweet love. Recently, Zhao Ming's invincible image had lingered in her mind, impossible to forget.

Her feelings for Zhao Ming were no longer just admiration for his strength; there was also a trace of affection.

Her master, a god-like man from ancient times, was the only one worthy of conquering her, and the only one she desired to love.

However, she was well aware of the gap between them.

One was in the heavens, and the other on the ground.

Even though she was the Hell Demon Dragon King, a beast with over two hundred thousand years of cultivation, in her master's eyes, her strength was likely no different from a mere thousand-year-old soul beast. They were all insignificant.

As for her beauty, although she considered herself very attractive, given her master's status and strength, what kind of beautiful women couldn't he have?

Standing there alone, Zi Ji's figure looked desolate.

"Zi Ji, I'm sorry. I've been so busy these past two days that I didn't have time to see you." Zhao Ming said as he entered the room after getting the key from the hotel manager. When he saw Zi Ji's lonely expression, he felt a pang of guilt.

"Master?" Hearing that familiar voice, a hint of surprise lit up Zi Ji's charming face.

Her master hadn't forgotten her after all. He still cared about her.

"Master, you're finally here. I thought you'd forgotten about me." Zi Ji smiled, her allure stunning Zhao Ming for a moment.

"How could I ever forget you? Our Zi Ji is so beautiful; I wish I could keep you by my side every day," Zhao Ming said as he quickly walked over and pulled Zi Ji into his arms. Feeling her soft and full embrace, Zhao Ming smiled.

"Master, don't try to sweet-talk me. If you really thought I was beautiful, you wouldn't have left me here for so long," Zi Ji said softly, her brows furrowing slightly.

"I really was busy. I'll need to stay in this area for about a month. Once I'm done with my tasks, I'll take you out to have some fun," Zhao Ming said, gently stroking her long, dark purple hair.

"Really?" Zi Ji's eyes shone with joy as she looked at Zhao Ming.

"Of course. There are many things I'll need your help with. Given my current strength, there are still some tasks I can't handle alone."

"I am your secretary, Master. Whatever you wish to accomplish, Zi Ji will do her utmost," Zi Ji said earnestly.

"Good. With the Hell Demon Dragon King by my side, as long as we don't face any particularly powerful Titled Douluo, I feel confident," Zhao Ming replied, looking at her with a playful smile. "But, do you know what it really means to be a secretary?"

"Secretary? Didn't you say last time that it means an envoy or a subordinate?" Zi Ji asked, her eyes reflecting curiosity as she noticed the playful look in Zhao Ming's eyes. Was there another meaning?

"That's only part of the meaning. There's another layer to it…" Zhao Ming whispered into her ear.

"Master, how could you…" Zi Ji's face flushed as she looked at Zhao Ming, her eyes filled with a mix of shyness and realization.

Only now did she fully understand the true meaning of being a secretary.

So, her master had planned this all along...

Her eyes sparkled as she gazed at Zhao Ming, her heart racing. There was a hint of shyness and sweetness. It seemed her master didn't dislike her after all.

"What? Is that not allowed?" Seeing Zi Ji's enchanting expression, Zhao Ming couldn't hold back any longer. He pushed her down, grabbing her delicate hands and leaning in to kiss her red lips.

Zi Ji's lips were soft and sweet.

After about three or four minutes, Zhao Ming finally released her.

Looking at Zi Ji, whose eyes were filled with allure, Zhao Ming suppressed the urge rising within him. Zi Ji was his, and there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

"Master?" Zi Ji looked at Zhao Ming, a hint of confusion in her seductive eyes. She had expected Zhao Ming to take things further, but he didn't.

"We have business to attend to today. We need to go to Tianyi Pavilion. Bi Ji is there too. Starting tomorrow, you'll be staying with her," Zhao Ming said with a smile.

He still had a Puppet Power Enhancement Card, which he planned to use on Yan Lingji to see its effect. As for the card intended for Medusa, he decided not to use it yet.

Even if he revived her now, he wouldn't have time to spend with her. It was better to wait until he finished his business at Shrek Academy.

"Okay." Zi Ji nodded, standing up from the bed and straightening her slightly wrinkled dress.

Zi Ji spent quite a while in front of the mirror, which intrigued Zhao Ming.

He knew it was likely because of Bi Ji. Knowing Zi Ji's personality, she would not want to appear inferior when meeting Bi Ji.

In Zhao Ming's eyes, both women were unparalleled beauties, each with their own charm.

The only difference was that Zi Ji was more temperamental compared to Bi Ji. Bi Ji excelled in healing arts, saving lives in the Star Dou Forest, and had a gentle personality, making her more popular. On the other hand, Zi Ji's prideful and alluring nature made her seem more fierce.

But Zi Ji's fierceness was only directed at others. With him, she was always gentle and obedient. This gave Zhao Ming a sense of accomplishment. After all, taming a fearsome beast that had lived for over two hundred thousand years, making her act like a shy maiden before him, was a feeling like no other.

"Let's go." Zhao Ming wrapped his arm around Zi Ji's slender waist and led her out.
