Douluo Continent: I, Long Aotian, will not be a supporting character.

"Good! Good! Good!" Du Bisi exclaimed happily, saying "good" three times in a row.

Long Yuanba and Ao Yumou said, "Congratulations to the Grand Sect Master on taking on such a fine disciple."

Long Aotian also spoke up, "Congratulations, Master!"

"From now on, you brothers must cherish and support each other, and work together to build our Body Sect to its peak," Du Bisi said to Long Aotian and Dugu Yuan.

Long Aotian grabbed Dugu Yuan's hand and said, "Good brother, let's work hard together. We must shoulder the future of the Body Sect together."

"Brother Ao, I'm here for you too," Vina said from the side.

Long Aotian patted Vina's head.

Looking at the three little ones, Du Bisi, Long Yuanba, Ao Yumou and the others were filled with relief. With you all in the future of the Body Sect, they had no regrets in this life.

"Alright, this trip can be considered complete. Aotian, Vina, Yuanba, you have all obtained suitable soul rings, and you even met Ayuan and joined his sect. Now we can go back," said Du Bisi.

Just as the group was about to leave, a "gurgling" sound suddenly came from inside. Everyone looked over and saw that it was Dugu Yuan's stomach that was making the noise; he was hungry and his stomach was growling.

Dugu Yuan blushed slightly and said, "I'm sorry, I've been in the Star Dou Great Forest for over a month. I've run out of the dry rations I brought and haven't eaten for two days. I was thinking that if I couldn't find a suitable second soul ring, I would leave the forest to replenish my supplies before re-entering. But then I encountered this Jade Serpent, and then I met you all, and I forgot about eating."

Ao Yumou said, "Poor child, Auntie has plenty of dry food here. Hurry up and eat some to tide you over."

As he spoke, he took out some dry rations from his storage soul tool.

Long Aotian said, "Mom, I saved some meat from the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear before, so now I can make a fresh roasted meat and bear paw to celebrate A Yuan joining the sect."

Ao Yumou said, "Okay, then A Yuan, you should eat less of your dry rations. Auntie will start preparing now, it will be ready soon."

Dugu Yuan said, "Thank you, Auntie."

Ao Yumou patted Dugu Yuan's head. "Child, don't be so polite with your aunt. From now on, the Body Sect will be your home. Your uncles, aunts, and fellow disciples of the Body Sect will all be your family. There's no need to be so polite between family members."

At this moment, the group was at the border between the outer area and the mixed area. The strongest soul beasts there were only thousand-year-old soul beasts. Therefore, it didn't matter if they started a fire. Besides, with the super strong Poisonous Death there, there was no need to worry about attracting soul beasts by starting a fire in the forest.

So everyone started cooking.

Long Yuanba went to chop some firewood and also brought back a few hundred-year-old soul beasts to cook with: a white-browed tiger, a fire-feathered chicken, a soft-boned rabbit, and a few blue silver grasses.

Ao Yumou cleaned up the flesh of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and several hundred-year-old soul beasts, while Dugu Yuan assisted Ao Yumou in cleaning them up together.

Meanwhile, Long Aotian led Vina and the other person to find some mushrooms and wild vegetables in the surrounding area.

In no time, all the ingredients were cleaned.

Long Aotian and his father set up two pots and a grill together.

The Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear Paw was too large, so Long Aotian used the left metacarpal bone of the Dark Gold Terror Claw to cut it into pieces the size of an adult's palm. Then he coated it with various seasonings and placed it on the grill to start roasting.

Vina squatted down next to Long Aotian and watched him barbecue.

Ao Yumou first used some of the Fire Feather Chicken, mushrooms, wild vegetables and other ingredients to make a pot of chicken and mushroom soup. Then she prepared several dishes, including stir-fried soft-boned rabbit with blue silver grass, pan-fried tiger meat chops, and charcoal-grilled turkey.

These dishes are Ao Yumou's specialties and Long Aotian's favorites.

Gradually, a rich aroma of meat wafted through the air. The bear paws were almost cooked, and the chicken and mushroom soup was bubbling away, releasing a fragrant steam.

For a moment, everyone who smelled the aroma couldn't help but feel their mouths water.

Ao Yumou invited everyone to eat, and everyone enjoyed the many delicious dishes.

Just as everyone was enjoying the food, a voice suddenly rang out: "It smells so good!"

Poisonous Death's eyes narrowed as he looked into the distance and said, "What is that? How dare it spy on me!"

A golden figure appeared from behind the towering trees not far away.

With its golden fur covering its entire body, resembling both a lion and a dragon, and a single red vertical pupil on its forehead, Long Aotian recognized it at a glance as the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the imperial auspicious beast of the Star Dou Great Forest.

But how did this three-eyed golden lion suddenly appear here?

When Du Bisi saw that it was a soul beast, he was about to make a move.

A talking soul beast, could it be a 100,000-year-old soul beast?

Vina and Dugu Yuan stared wide-eyed in astonishment at the fact that this soul beast could speak.

However, even the three high-level Soul Masters, Long Yuanba and Ao Yumou, could sense that the Soul Beast in front of them was only ten thousand years old.

Seeing this, Long Aotian quickly said, "Master, this soul beast has a special identity. Don't make a move yet; let's see what she's going to do."

Long Aotian knew that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was backed by the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest. Although his master, Du Bisi, was there, he was unwilling to provoke those beings for no reason.

More importantly, Long Aotian had a good impression of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, who was described as loyal and righteous in the original work, so he spoke up to stop Du Bisi from dying.

The three-eyed golden lion seemed unafraid of humans at all, and walked towards the group on its own.

Then, after sniffing the various delicacies, she spoke again, "It smells so good! Can I eat some?"

Long Aotian picked out some meat and vegetables from each dish, scooped them up with a fresh leaf, and placed them on the ground.

The three-eyed golden lion sniffed the air, then began to eat it in large mouthfuls.

Everyone watched as the three-eyed golden lion ate meat.

In just a few bites, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion finished all the meat and vegetables.

He licked his lips once, then looked at Long Aotian and said, "Indeed, human food is delicious, much better than the raw meat I used to eat."

Long Aotian looked at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and said with a smile, "We've almost finished eating. If you like, you can have the rest."

"Really? Thank you! You're a good person!" Long Aotian, who had been given the "good person card" for no reason, smiled helplessly. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion had lived in the forest since birth. Although she was extremely simple-minded, she could sense that the human in front of her had no ill intentions towards her, which was why she was willing to get close.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion finished off the remaining meat and vegetables in a few bites. After finishing, it circled around Long Aotian several times, then circled around Long Yuanba and Dugu Yuan respectively, sniffing the three of them as if trying to identify their scents.
