Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

Chapter 202 The Three-Eyed Golden Lion Appears!

"Teacher, Miss, I'm starting."

Shen Yuanyi closed her eyes and slowly guided the soul ring towards herself, beginning to absorb it.

Ye Xishui smiled and nodded. She had already set up a soul-guided barrier around the area.

"Keep it up. When you become stronger, I can also enjoy the shade under your big tree! It's just a soul tremor; what little fox martial soul doesn't rely on mental power?" Qian Renxue came back to her senses and glanced at Shen Yuanyi, who was still caught up in the strange thoughts of the little devil. The little devil would more or less influence the little angel.

That was by no means a pleasant experience, because the soul shock brought by the ten-thousand-year soul ring was eroding Shen Yuanyi's consciousness, like the seductive spirit of a fox destroying her spiritual sea. She gritted her teeth and resisted the resentment from that soul beast.

The so-called soul tremor is a special ability produced by high-level soul beasts after death, before their souls dissipate. Only soul beasts that are over ten thousand years old possess this ability. Soul tremor will damage a person's mental world and may very well turn them into an idiot.

Countless fragments of consciousness surfaced in Shen Yuanyi's mind, not only her past, but also some of the fox's past.

She witnessed her family members lose their lives in the war, and her father held her hand, saying that she must live on, no matter the cost, she must do everything she could to survive.

She was only six years old at the time, surrounded by the flames of war. In the end, her father pushed her out, and the flames of war mercilessly engulfed his body.

The overwhelming mental shock almost overwhelmed her consciousness.

Like a torrential rain, it washed over the path Shen Yuanyi had once walked thousands of times.

She remembered being chosen by Ye Xishui, rescued from the battlefield, and becoming her disciple. Her life began to improve, and her days became more comfortable.

I heard from my teacher that Ye Xishui was also rescued from the battlefield. Perhaps it was this similar experience that gave her a new life.

She knew that her teacher was the Supreme Leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, but that had nothing to do with repaying her teacher's kindness. She had told herself that she could never betray her teacher no matter what.

Later, she met Qian Renxue, a saintess who confided in her on some nights, saying some strange but seemingly reasonable things. In the end, she saw a side of her that she might not have known before.

Qian Renxue may not always be as cold as she appears to outsiders. On the contrary, she may have a lot of inner monologues, so much so that one might suspect that she really is schizophrenic, as she sometimes jokes.

But even someone like that just told me that she hoped I could become stronger so she could take shelter under her big tree. Everyone who knows her knows that their young lady is very strong.

But the young lady is very mysterious, and not many people know about this. Perhaps her secret is really big, so big that she can't complete all the plans on her own, so she hopes I can help her?

Although she said it in a half-joking tone, Shen Yuanyi truly believed that there are many truths in the world that are said in a joking manner.

Her resolve gradually hardened.

Qian Renxue looked at Shen Yuanyi with some worry. The little girl's brows were furrowed and there was a little blood at the corner of her mouth. She was obviously undergoing a test of soul shock.

Time passed second by second, a quarter of an hour, then half an hour, then an hour. It took much longer than absorbing the soul bone.

Finally, after an hour and a half, Shen Yuanyi slowly opened her eyes. "Phew—" Seeing that she had succeeded, Qian Renxue and Ye Xishui breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"Did you succeed?" Ye Xishui asked.

"Hmm... I've accomplished my mission." The little fox patted its chest.

"Stop taking pictures, or they'll be gone," Qian Renxue said with a smile.

"You! Teacher, do something about her!" Shen Yuanyi said, embarrassed and annoyed, but the tail soul bone she had just absorbed was still swaying back and forth.

Qian Renxue lowered her head and looked at herself. Why hadn't she grown up yet? Logically speaking, she was eleven and a half years old, but she still felt like a child.

Yes, it must be because it's not the right time yet.

Ye Xishui made a shushing gesture, then waved her hand to put the soul beast's corpse into the soul tool and opened the soul tool barrier.

Seeing Ye Xishui's gesture, the two girls realized the problem and quickly shut up.

Then, they saw a clear spring in the distance of the hill, and beside the spring, a strange soul beast was wandering.

"This soul beast is a bit strange. I feel like I've seen it in the ancient books of the Holy Spirit Cult." Ye Xishui transmitted her thoughts. "At the same time, I sensed an extreme flame and light emanating from it."

Qian Renxue was startled and stared intently. It was a strange soul beast with golden fur, its entire body seemingly made of translucent crystal, full of strange texture. It resembled a lion in appearance, but its four claws were like those of a dragon, and each dragon claw rested on a ball of golden flame.

Its mouth was also slightly longer than that of lion-type spirit beasts, and beneath its fur appeared to be fine scales. In addition to its two eyes, it had a third eye, but it was a vertical pupil. The two normal eyes shimmered with gold, while the vertical pupil emitted an eerie red.

"This, this is, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion!" Qian Renxue said in the shared mental communication.

"An imperial auspicious beast?" Ye Xishui recalled.

"What is that? Extreme light and fire attributes, isn't this tailor-made for Miss? It's just a pity that Miss's Angelic Martial Soul already has enough spirit rings." Shen Yuanyi's voice revealed a hint of regret, "I just wonder if it will also drop a spirit bone."

"We can't kill this guy," Qian Renxue said in a low voice. "The Three-Eyed Golden Lion is a unique auspicious beast. Wherever it is, all the soul beasts grow at twice the normal speed. Moreover, I heard from the Ice Emperor that if a 100,000-year-old soul beast undergoes its tribulation nearby, its success rate will increase significantly. If we kill it, I estimate that all the soul beasts in the entire Star Dou will go berserk the next day."

Qian Renxue recognized this creature. She had seen it in her previous life when she was scanning the Star Dou Great Forest to capture Tang San. Later in this life, the Ice and Snow Emperors also mentioned this magical soul beast when they were chatting.

Ice Emperor said at the time that if there were such magical soul beasts in the far north, then the overall strength would not be lower than that of the Star Dou realm.

"Why did this guy end up in the mixed zone? Isn't he just asking for trouble?" Shen Yuanyi thought to herself, what a pity.

"The power of destiny," Ye Xishui said in a low voice. "This guy was probably attracted by the destiny and faith power emanating from Xiaoxue."
