Peerless: You've already become a Title Douluo, and this is the first time you've come to

Chapter 85 Once a Soul Beast, Always a Soul Beast [4K]

"..."

Ma Xiaotao remained silent throughout Chu Ge and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's conversation, quietly listening to their exchange and acting as a good bystander.

Until... the three-eyed golden lion handed its claws to Chu Ge.

Looking at the Emperor Beast's claws that were gripping Chu Ge tightly, her little face was filled with thought, and she held hands with him so sweetly.

Without any pre-cast delay, the hand was secured at zero frames!

That's Chu Ge, after all! Besides, she could accept a human girl trying to steal him away, but a soul beast like this is a bit strange, isn't it?

"We can't."

"This soul beast, which has some ability to sense the connection of fate, thought that the relationship between Chu Ge and her would be..."

Ma Xiaotao pondered.

It's not entirely impossible. After all, based on current observations, if this soul beast were human, it would definitely be a girl. Speaking of a connection of fate, isn't that...?

As her mind wandered and she thought about these issues, her expression turned strange again.

Once a soul beast, always a soul beast!

This doesn't mean the two of them have no future; on the contrary, there are indeed experts in this field.

Love between humans and spirit beasts is extremely rare in the entire history of Douluo Continent. Even though there have been two other cases of love between spirit beasts and humans in the history of the continent, they are difficult to replicate.

There's Tang San, and another one is Tang San's father! It's essentially a monopoly held by the Tang family.

"Those are two very important people, and besides, their wives were already human before they met."

Ma Xiaotao thought about it seriously.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion has not transformed into a human. If Chu Ge could have any relationship with this soul beast, it would be as absurd as Tang San falling in love with a real rabbit or Tang Hao falling in love with a blade of grass.

She dared not imagine that this auspicious beast, which resembled both a dragon and a lion, was with Chu Ge...

Humans cannot, or at least should not.

"It's probably just that this spirit beast is more affectionate."

"Yes, that must be it!"

Ma Xiaotao breathed a sigh of relief, and finally said seriously that she would not feel pressured unless such an interspecies situation occurred.

"Are you daydreaming?"

Just then, a soft knock reached her ears, and she saw Chu Ge gently tapping her head with a smile on his face.

"no."

"I was just getting too engrossed in thinking about something, wasn't I?"

Ma Xiaotao shook her head repeatedly to indicate no, and said seriously.

However, Chu Ge noticed the hint of guilt in her eyes, but he didn't really care.

"Chu Ge, what brings you to the Star Dou Great Forest this time?"

The three-eyed golden lion blinked, then looked at the two people in front of it with renewed curiosity and asked softly.

She came out this time with her Uncle Red King to hunt for food, but the two people in front of her shouldn't be like that, right?

"Are you here to hunt spirit rings?"

She said it frankly, as if she didn't care about it at all. After all, she usually ate quite a few ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts. In this world, it's always the law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak and the fittest survive.

"Asking so directly, Little Three-Eyed Golden Lion doesn't shy away from this topic at all..."

Chu Ge smiled. It made sense. With the other party's status as the Star Dou Crown Prince, he could eat whatever high-level soul beast he wanted, so why would he care about these things?

Therefore, even if he really said he came to hunt for spirit rings, there would be no problem at all. However, whether there is no problem is one thing, and whether he actually answered that way is another matter entirely.

"The environment in the human world is not as good as here."

"Come here and enjoy the natural scenery. The Star Dou Great Forest is the number one soul beast territory on the continent, and it's really beautiful."

With a calm smile on his face, Chu Ge solemnly gave a perfunctory reason, which probably no one would believe.

"really."

"The scenery here is indeed beautiful."

The three-eyed golden lion nodded immediately, a smile on its face. It was a compliment to its own family, so how could it not like it?

As for whether this is true or false, of course it is true!

First, the scenery of their Starry Sky Forest is indeed very beautiful and covers a wide area. Second, as her friend, how could Chu Ge possibly lie to her?

"It's nice to come and see the scenery."

"I can take you to my house sometime, hehe, I'm sure you'll like it."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked at the person in front of it and shared with a grin.

"Oh right, I haven't told you yet..."

"We have many uncles and aunts in our family. These elders are all very formidable, so don't be scared at the time."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion said mysteriously, "In the eyes of humans, their elders are all beings that should not be provoked. I wonder if Chu Ge sees them the same way!"

"Okay, okay."

Chu Ge chuckled and nodded. He knew perfectly well who the elders the other party was referring to were—undoubtedly the group of Star Dou ferocious beasts led by Di Tian.

Di Tian, ​​Bi Ji, Xiong Jun, Wan Yao Wang, Zi Ji, Chi Wang... and so on, Chi Wang!

Thinking of this, Chu Ge suddenly fell into deep thought. Wait a minute, why hasn't the guardian of the auspicious beast appeared yet!

"Auspicious beast..."

"Where are you, my auspicious beast?!"

At this moment, accompanied by a deep roar, an extremely powerful aura approached Chu Ge's location.

"That's more like it."

Chu Ge nodded and said with a smile, "It just doesn't feel right without the Crimson King as a guardian."

"And what is this spirit beast?"

Looking at the scene before her, Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but feel a bit surprised. Her expression wasn't calm, and she couldn't help but mutter to herself.

It can talk? A 100,000-year-old soul beast!?

As expected of the inner perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest, the probability of encountering these powerful soul beasts is simply too high.

Before long, a creature with three heads appeared beside Chu Ge and the other two.

"Roar roar roar—"

This is a huge Tibetan Mastiff with fiery red fur all over its body, as if flames were flickering on its body.

"This is..."

"The three-headed demonic mastiff, which ranks among the top ten in strength on the continent according to the books on Soul Master theory."

"One of the Ten Ferocious Beasts!"

Ma Xiaotao's eyes were filled with astonishment at this moment, and she couldn't help but fall silent for a while, muttering to herself in a daze.

This soul beast is one of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts!

She said, "If I grab Chu Ge's arm and run away now, is it too late?"

"..."

Ma Xiaotao's face instantly fell. She had only come with Chu Ge to hunt a 70,000-year-old soul beast, how could they have encountered such a level? This was one of the most powerful soul beasts.

Its age is said to have reached two hundred thousand years, making it a truly top-tier powerhouse!

Not every spirit beast is as friendly and kind as the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. At least this guy with the big grin in front of him... is anything but friendly.

"This guy..."

Chu Ge shifted his gaze from the three-eyed golden lion to the Crimson King before him, his expression calm.

It's true what they say: the three-eyed golden lions come and go, but the three-headed demon mastiff remains a constant. He was surprised before because the person in front of him wasn't there, but now it suits him perfectly.

After all, wherever there are auspicious beasts, there are their counterparts, just like how Mother of Ultra is always accompanied by Father of Ultra whenever she appears.

As for the other party, Chu Ge didn't pay much attention to them, his gaze fixed on the others with a smile.

The Crimson King's strength far surpasses Yan Shaozhe's; he could probably defeat three opponents at that level. However, in Yan Shaozhe's eyes, he was clearly not worth worrying about too much...

[Newbie host, you have attracted the attention of the Crimson King, one of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts]

[Think about the friendship you forged with the Imperial Beast; it might prove useful in this situation. Try your best not to get killed...]

[Quest Rewards: Beast King's Intimidation, 100,000-Year-Old Blazing Right Leg Soul Bone]

At that moment, the system's voice sounded again.

"What is the Beast King's intimidation? But..."

"Another 100,000-year-old soul bone."

Upon hearing this reward, Chu Ge's eyes lit up. A 100,000-year-old soul bone, and it was even fire-attribute, and it was a soul bone from his right leg that didn't overlap with the one from before.

In this way, Xiao Tao has gained another helpful assistant.

"And wouldn't that mean..."

"Each of the Ten Ferocious Beasts can generate at least one soul bone for me?"

Chu Ge's eyes sparkled with anticipation. If that's the case, then the entire Star Dou Great Forest is like a giant mineral vein.

The ferocious beasts, especially that one...

I wonder what kind of reward the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena will bring to herself?

"Humans!"

"This is not a place for you, and you are not allowed to harm our auspicious beasts."

The Crimson King stared intently at Chu Ge, already standing before him, and roared angrily.

Why would a human be walking so close to a three-eyed golden lion? If the auspicious beast hadn't been standing so close to it, he would have almost stabbed it with his claws.

"Uncle Red King, but nobody wants to bully me."

The three-eyed golden lion was deep in thought, its eyes filled with contemplation and vigilance. Who would dare to bully it?

However, she quickly sensed the Crimson King's deep malice towards Chu Ge, which caused her to fall into deep thought, feeling lost and confused.

No, could it be that Uncle Red King thinks Chu Ge is going to bully him?

How is that possible?!

"Uncle Red King!"

"This is my new friend. He's not a bad guy at all. Don't think of him as such a bad person."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion immediately became anxious. Looking at the Crimson King in front of him, fearing that the other party would continue to misunderstand, it quickly spoke up to explain.

This is my only friend, how could he be bad!

"Not a bad person?"

"Little Golden Lion, you're too naive. You can't trust humans so easily."

Looking towards the direction of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the Crimson King wore a helpless expression before glaring angrily at Chu Ge, his face full of vigilance.

Humans are too dangerous creatures; their thoughts change in an instant. There may be nothing in front of us, but what about afterward? Who can guarantee that?

Perhaps if I hadn't arrived early, the auspicious beast would have met a terrible end!

"But he's not a bad person!"

The three-eyed golden lion stood protectively behind Chu Ge with an air of righteousness, its heart filled with unwavering resolve.

"Little Golden Lion, don't speak..."

The Crimson King snorted, his face showing displeasure, and said, "Once a human soul master, always a human soul master. I will never treat soul beasts kindly."

"Um……"

Are you talking about me?

Chu Ge walked over calmly, looked at the Crimson King in front of him without any fear on his face, and said indifferently.

"What's wrong with you...?"

Just as the Red King was about to say something.

The next moment, as Chu Ge's gaze swept over him, he suddenly realized that despite his Beast King bloodline, the other party was not suppressed by his aura.

This human is at least a Super Douluo-level powerhouse, and his strength may even surpass mine!

"This is a powerful human."

The Crimson King was on high alert. If a powerful human were to truly harm the auspicious beast, things would be terrible…

"Red King."

"What are you going to say?"

Chu Ge smiled calmly and said kindly.

"..."

"Your Excellency."

"Our leader, Di Tian, ​​is still looking for the little auspicious beast. I think I'll take her back first. You guys continue, you guys continue."

The Crimson King gritted his teeth, forced to suppress his anger, and said through gritted teeth.

It wouldn't be a big deal if he fought the other side himself, but the problem is... the auspicious beast is still here! If something happens to the auspicious beast, he will be a sinner of the Star Dou Great Forest!

"Um."

"Little Golden Lion, it's time for you to go back."

Chu Ge nodded slightly, then looked in the direction of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and said softly.

"Going back so soon?"

"But I haven't had a proper talk with you yet."

The three-eyed golden lion shook its head and said seriously.

"My dear little auntie..."

The Crimson King was on the verge of tears, feeling utterly helpless. What was the point of talking to this human?

"It's time to go back."

"Otherwise, your elders will worry."

Chu Ge smiled gently, stroking the three-eyed golden lion, and spoke on behalf of the Crimson King to dissuade him.

"Um!"

"This human is right, Little Golden Lion, you should go back."

The Crimson King then looked at him with newfound respect and spoke.

"That……"

"Oh well."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion reluctantly nodded, took one last look at Chu Ge, and then reluctantly followed the Crimson King on the journey back.

"Ugh."

"Uncle Di Tian called me back so quickly. I was so discreet when I ran away this time, but I was still discovered..."

On its way back, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion felt a pang of disappointment, muttering to itself, "I didn't expect that I still couldn't catch it."

"next time."

"You must bring Chu Ge to our home as a guest."

The three-eyed golden lion's eyes flashed with dazzling light, and it began to plan in its mind, "It's settled then!"

Next time, she'll bring Chu Ge and her whole family to dinner; that sounds wonderful.

However, before that, we should make sure the other party is in contact with her, just in case they are unwilling.

"But I believe it."

"He won't reject me..."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was full of energy and ran towards the inner perimeter with a grin.

"..."

The Crimson King, standing nearby, was deep in thought. "Bring him back as a guest?"

"If that human comes over..."

"We must ensure he never returns."

The Crimson King gave a soft snort, thinking to himself.

P.S.: I've revised the previous chapter a bit, so this chapter is not a duplicate!
