Douluo Dalu: Beginning with Signing in with Yan Lingji

Chapter 170: Yan Lingji's Transformation

Zhao Ming and Zi Ji quickly arrived at Tianyi Pavilion.

Tianyi Pavilion was no longer the quiet place it used to be; crowds of people surrounded it, all coming for the clothing.

"Hey, honey, how about this outfit? I bet you'd look amazing in it," a young man said, smiling at his stylish girlfriend beside him.

"Pervert." The pretty girl playfully kicked the young man's shin.

"Hehe, just wear it for me, won't you? There's no one else around."

"Fine, but it's expensive," the young girl pouted, pointing at the price tag that read three gold soul coins.

"No problem. Anything for you," the young man replied with a grin as he asked the attendant to pack up the dress for him.

Tianyi Pavilion had become a popular clothing brand recently. Though the concept of "brand" was unfamiliar to many, the young man appreciated the beautiful clothes. Even though he wasn't from Soto City, he had come specifically because of its reputation.

Looking at these alluring clothes, he imagined how enticing his girlfriend would look wearing them.

And, of course, there was another reason—rumors claimed that Tianyi Pavilion was home to many beautiful fairies. He was eager to see if he could catch a glimpse of these legendary beauties, each said to be unmatched in their grace. Many in the crowd shared the same hope.

Seeing the thriving business of Tianyi Pavilion, Zhao Ming smiled slightly.

Originally, he had planned to use Tianyi Pavilion to earn money, but now he didn't need to. With several soul bones in his possession, he could easily sell some lower-quality ones if he ever needed money, without relying on the store.

However, keeping the shop running gave Bi Ji and the others something to do, and it was a pleasant way for them to pass the time.

And besides, he enjoyed seeing them in beautiful outfits.

Last time, Yan Yan and Bi Ji had worn bikinis for him, and he had to admit, they looked stunning.

He wondered if the beautiful Ya Ya would be willing to wear something like that for him too. How wonderful it would be.

"Master, is this the place managed by Bi Ji and the others?" Zi Ji looked around with curious eyes, a hint of surprise in her gaze. She quickly understood the purpose of the clothing inside, and her expression became a bit perplexed.

"Yes. Let's head inside." Zhao Ming smiled and led the way.

"Boss." An excited voice called out as a sturdy man approached them.

"Wang Sheng?" Zhao Ming looked at him in surprise.

"Boss, it's me, Wang Sheng. It's been so many years," Wang Sheng said, rubbing the back of his head, a bit shy. It had been six years since they were at Notting Academy, and Zhao Ming, once a prominent figure there, had now become someone far beyond his reach.

"Keep up the good work." Zhao Ming patted Wang Sheng's shoulder before heading upstairs. He had asked Bi Ji to bring Wang Sheng and the others in. Coming from a low-level soul master academy, they lacked the strength and resources to attend advanced academies. This was Zhao Ming's way of lending them a hand, acknowledging their past camaraderie.

In the room, Bi Ji and the other two women were there. When they saw Zhao Ming, they all stood up with excitement. After all, it had been a while since Zhao Ming's last visit.

Zhao Ming chatted with them briefly, soothing their emotions before introducing Zi Ji.

Of course, Bi Ji was familiar with Zi Ji. When she saw her, she felt a bit of unease. Knowing Zi Ji's beauty and strength, she realized that Zhao Ming wouldn't let her go. It was inevitable that they would eventually become sisters.

Zi Ji, on the other hand, also felt a bit strange seeing Bi Ji. The two had once been rivals, but now they were under the same roof.

After spending some time with the beautiful women, Zhao Ming took Yan Lingji to her room.

In Yan Lingji's private quarters within Tianyi Pavilion, the room was decorated with a classical style and filled with a pleasant fragrance.

"Why did you call me here alone?" Yan Lingji asked, her charming eyes blinking as she smiled at Zhao Ming.

"I have a gift for you," Zhao Ming grinned.

"A gift? What kind of gift?" Yan Lingji's eyes lit up with anticipation.

"Something that will enhance your power," Zhao Ming said with a smile.

"Really? Such a thing exists?" Yan Lingji was both surprised and excited. Among Zhao Ming's puppets, her strength was relatively weaker. Tushan Yaya's power far surpassed hers, which made her feel disheartened. Being weaker meant she couldn't often fight by his side.

"Of course. You're my woman; I won't let you remain weak," Zhao Ming said, smiling as he instructed Yan Lingji to sit cross-legged.

Concentrating, Zhao Ming thought, Use the Puppet Power Enhancement Card.

"Ding, Puppet Power Enhancement Card successfully used. Puppet Yan Lingji has received the Phoenix Bloodline Inheritance."

A golden flame enveloped Yan Lingji, and within it, a noble golden bird could be faintly seen roaring. A sense of majesty filled the room.

The golden light illuminated the entire room, and the temperature inside rose sharply.

Yan Lingji's hair danced in the air, her elegant and dignified aura making Zhao Ming momentarily dazed.

This time, Yan Lingji transformed like a celestial goddess, shedding her former self.

Her ordinary blood was replaced with the blood of the Phoenix.

A pair of golden wings grew from her back, slowly flapping. These were the Phoenix Wings.

"So, this is the Phoenix Inheritance?" Zhao Ming's face lit up as he watched Yan Lingji's transformation.

Yan Lingji's talent had not been particularly strong among his puppets. As his strength grew, he had summoned her less frequently. But now, with the Phoenix Bloodline from the Puppet Power Enhancement Card, Yan Lingji's power would soar.

From today onward, Yan Lingji's strength would rival that of Tushan Yaya and would not fall short of any future puppets he acquired. None of his women would be inferior to others.

After about half an hour, Yan Lingji opened her eyes, and a golden light flickered within.

She stood up, revealing her long, slender legs.

The Phoenix Bloodline had made Yan Lingji even more beautiful. Her skin had become smoother, her figure even more perfect. Most notably, her entire being exuded a noble aura, combining with her enchanting yet cool demeanor to create an indescribable allure.

"Congratulations," Zhao Ming said as he approached her with a smile.

"It's all because of you," Yan Lingji replied with a captivating smile, her eyes filled with warmth.

"Then, can I ask for a reward?"

"Sure. I'm in a good mood today. You can have whatever you want," Yan Lingji said, her eyes twinkling with mischief.
