Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor.

Chapter 218 Prison Leaf: A Single Hair Affects the Whole Body

Good grief, now I look even more like a husky that has infiltrated a wolf pack.

Ye Qing wore an awkward yet polite smile, took two steps back, and then seemed to bump into something.

Turning around, he saw three eyes staring unblinkingly at him. The three-eyed golden lion, with its beautiful golden-red fur, was baring its teeth at him.

It seems it's still holding a grudge about being called "little girl" last time...

"Hi~" Ye Qing grinned and reached out to pat its head.

"You disgusting human, don't touch me!" The three-eyed golden lion shook its head vigorously, and a look of disgust appeared in all three eyes.

However, it didn't feel much resentment. It just instinctively shook off Ye Qing's hand. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was still very curious about this person who defied its fate in the eyes of destiny.

Those who can see fate are always manipulated by fate. Ye Qing, who is not bound by the threads of fate, just happened to strike a chord with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

Ye Qing didn't know what it was thinking, so he had to temporarily give up the urge to pet the cat and instead looked at the big shots who were holding an all-star beast gathering.

Before Ye Qing's eyes alone, eight of the so-called ferocious beasts on the list had already gathered. Apart from the Evil Emperor and the Demon Spirit, who were not present, the other eight soul beasts, which were considered the strongest by humans, were all here.

Although the Snow Empress and Ice Empress's bodies were illusory, the aura they released was in no way inferior to that of Di Tian and the others.

This was also thanks to Ye Qing's powerful spiritual strength. After the sacrifice was made to Ye Qing, the power that the Ice and Snow Emperors could use could only rely on Ye Qing. The stronger Ye Qing was, the stronger the power they could use.

With Ye Qing's spiritual power being extremely close to tangible and substantial, he was naturally able to support them in unleashing their full power.

"Enough with the idle talk, what brings you here?" The Snow Emperor concealed her aura, her icy blue eyes looking indifferently at Emperor Tian.

"Now that you've come to the Lake of Life, what's wrong with coming out to see old friends? It's just that I never expected that times have changed, and someone as proud as you would one day have to sacrifice yourself to humanity because of the threat of heavenly tribulation." Di Tian smiled slightly, his tone tinged with emotion.

The Snow Empress frowned slightly: "I don't think there's anything worth seeing between us. Did you call me out just to humiliate me?"

After saying that, Xue Di glanced at the Lake of Life and curled her lips: "Just wait, you can laugh at me now, but when your tribulation comes, it will be my turn to laugh at you. At least Ye Qing has great potential and will have the opportunity to show me the splendor of a god."

Holding onto preconceived notions, Xue Di felt that Di Tian's words were full of barbs no matter how she listened, but Di Tian really didn't intend to mock her.

Ignoring the aggression in Xue Di's words, Di Tian instead asked her, "You also think he can become a god?"

The gazes of the two soul beast overlords turned simultaneously to Ye Qing, who was reaching out, eager to pet the cat.

Noticing their gazes, Ye Qing instantly withdrew his hand and gave them a harmless smile. Only the Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked bewildered and scratched at the soil with its claws.

"Why not?" Xue Di lowered her eyelids and said softly, "Human talent is indeed enviable. Although I have only followed him for a year or two, the speed of his growth has greatly shocked me."

"A person who defies fate... perhaps he is an extremely special one among humans. I am very lucky to be able to seize this opportunity in a desperate situation. It is indeed not easy."

"I am actually quite fortunate to be able to offer sacrifices to him. Perhaps I will be able to witness the day he ascends to godhood and also benefit from his glory to become a god and live forever."

The Snow Empress's evaluation of Ye Qing was undeniably high, and she didn't hide her words from others, including the Three-Eyed Golden Lion; all the spirit beasts could hear her.

Ice Emperor smiled and nodded: "We have to thank Xue'er, otherwise I would not have been able to find such a good host. With our help, I believe that Ye Qing will definitely be able to become a god."

Alright, alright, the two Ice and Snow Emperors have vouched for it.

There's only so much to it among spirit beasts. Unintelligent spirit beasts spend their lives thinking only about how to get food and evade predators. But intelligent spirit beasts crave greater power and endless lifespan.

For Di Tian and his group, the prospect of becoming gods and achieving immortality was also an extremely tempting prospect.

Di Tian nodded slightly, not wanting to delve deeper into the topic. He feared that if the Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor said a few more words, his colleagues would all be tempted to sacrifice themselves for Ye Qing.

Instead of toiling away in cultivation, constantly worrying about whether the next heavenly tribulation will strike you down, wouldn't it be much better to find a human with the potential to become a god, sacrifice them, and then sit back and wait to effortlessly ascend to godhood?

Even Di Tian himself was somewhat tempted, but the sense of responsibility in his heart still held him back.

It can be said that, apart from Xiong Jun who didn't take it seriously, the other ferocious beasts all had similar thoughts in their minds to varying degrees.

"...Ye Qing, do you still remember our promise?" Di Tian asked.

"I remember." Ye Qing nodded, then turned to look at the three-eyed golden lion beside him, who seemed a little bored. "Help it escape its destined death and thwart the mastermind's conspiracy against it."

"So, how did it go?"

"Of course, most of it is done." Ye Qing grinned.

Brigitte looked over in confusion, her beautiful eyes filled with bewilderment. She couldn't recall Ye Qing making any arrangements regarding the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

Is that all?

Ye Qing winked at Bi Ji: "You don't understand. There's a saying that goes, 'Pulling one hair affects the whole body.' I don't need to make any special arrangements for this matter. I just need to subtly change a few things in the trajectory to alter what was originally destined!"

That's for sure. In the original story, Huo Yuhao was the center of attention after the competition, and even had the abstract concept of Xuanzi personally lead him to hunt soul beasts. That's how he encountered the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and thus, fate intervened...

Only then will the subsequent series of events unfold.

However, this matter was ruined from the very beginning. Huo Yuhao is not even qualified to see the Three-Eyed Golden Lion now. With Ye Qing's instructions, Di Tian and the others will keep a close eye on the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and will not let it leave the dangerous place even for a moment.

Even the soul beast guarding her has changed from the Crimson King to the Demon King. The Demon King, with a cultivation of over 500,000 years, is far superior to the Crimson King. Any human who attempts to approach the Three-Eyed Golden Lion will be detected by it through other plants and nipped in the bud.

Then they dragged it to the ground and used it as fertilizer for the funeral—a complete and meticulously planned process.

Therefore, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion is already safe and sound.
