Three-Eyed Golden Lion
Di Tian watched Lu Yuan's actions from the side, and he could vaguely sense that Lu Yuan might be targeting Tang San.
However, he didn't care, because Tang San was human. Even if Lu Yuan only targeted him, or even if he tore Tang San into eight pieces right in front of him, Di Tian wouldn't be affected in the slightest. He might even help out.
Moreover, Di Tian himself didn't think that Tang Hao's decision not to attack Xiao Wu was a good idea. Perhaps, as Lu Yuan said, he was planning to wait for Tang San to grow up, kill Xiao Wu, and use her as Soul Ring for Tang San.
After all, what human wouldn't covet the Soul Ring of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?
Anyway, Di Tian didn't believe it.
In Di Tian's view, no matter how close Tang San and Xiao Wu are, once Xiao Wu 'Xiao Wu identity is exposed, he will be the first person to harm her. It's perfectly normal for humans to be heartless and ungrateful.
Moreover, he felt that Lu Yuan's style of doing things was very tough, honest and genuine, which suited his taste quite well. He was indeed worthy of being the owner of the Golden Dragon Bloodline, possessing the magnanimity of his Dragon Clan.
Since Lu Yuan is targeting him, Tang San is probably no good. So why should he meddle and ruin Lu Yuan's plans?
In fact, Di Tian's thinking was not entirely wrong. If we assume that Xiao Wu had not fallen in love with Tang San, then Tang Hao could have imprisoned Xiao Wu and then killed Xiao Wu when Tang San needed Soul Ring to take the Soul Ring and Soul Bone. Tang Hao could actually have done such a thing.
Don't overestimate someone's character.
When a human Soul Master hears that someone they have little connection with is actually Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form, their first thought is to kill the person and take their bones.
Without a doubt, this is the first thought of all Soul Master on the Douluo Continent, with very few exceptions, unless the Soul Beast has a close relationship with them.
Therefore, in the original work, Qian Xunji's team hunting down Ah Yin was an unforgivable crime in Tang Hao's eyes, but in the eyes of the entire Soul Master World, it was a perfectly normal thing. What is there to criticize about Soul Master hunting Soul Beast? Isn't this a matter of course?
In the original novel, Xiao Wu's identity was exposed, Bibi Dong wanted to kill Xiao Wu. Why didn't Ning Fengzhi and the others dare to stop her?
Since it's perfectly normal for Soul Master to hunt Soul Beast, what reason could he possibly have to stop them?
He could only remain silent, and perhaps he himself had similar thoughts!
Seeing the state of the two divine beasts, Lu Yuan sighed softly and said, "I have nothing to do here for the time being. You two go back and guard the gate. I want to stay here a little longer!"
"Is that alright, Di Tian?" Lu Yuan turned his gaze to Di Tian!
"Of course you can, you can cultivate for as long as you want!" Di Tian naturally wouldn't refuse Lu Yuan's request; in his opinion, the longer Lu Yuan stayed, the better.
This way, the relationship between their Soul Beast and Lu Yuan can become even closer.
"Thanks!" Lu Yuan said.
"Then, my lord, Di Tian, we'll head back now!" said the Sky Azure Bull Python.
"Mm!" Lu Yuan nodded gently.
Di Tian nodded slightly.
Seeing that the two had agreed, the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape went back first.
Lu Yuan's words today had a significant impact on the two beasts, leaving them with mixed feelings and a touch of worry.
As for whether Lu Yuan's words were true or false, even the Sky Azure Bull Python believed them without a doubt. In its view, humans were so despicable, and Tang Hao and his son were only coveting Xiao Wu's Soul Ring and Soul Bone. Lu Yuan, as the supreme Golden Dragon of the Dragon Clan, would not lie to them. The Dragon Clan disdains lying.
What they didn't know was that the Dragon Clan indeed disdained lying, and Lu Yuan usually didn't like to lie either. But when it came to Tang San, it was a different story. Lu Yuan was determined to torment him to death.
Watching the two beasts leave, Lu Yuan stretched. He decided to stay by the Lake of Life a little longer, since the life energy here was abundant and very helpful for cultivation.
Of course, Gu Yuena's place has a richer life force, so why doesn't Lu Yuan go there to cultivate?
Because Gu Yuena is so beautiful, she is easy to distract people; if you're not careful, you'll want to look at her.
This has nothing to do with liking or disliking someone. It's like when you see a beautiful woman, even if you don't like her, you can't help but want to take a second look. That's the same principle.
So I'll just not see her at all, is that alright?
Lu Yuan sat cross-legged and began circulating the Qingqi Sutra, entering a state of cultivation.
The effects of cultivating beside the Lake of Life were indeed extraordinary. As soon as Lu Yuan entered a meditative state, strands of spiritual energy flowed into Lu Yuan body and were then transformed into pure Soul Power under the refinement of the Qingqi Sutra.
Di Tian stared at Lu Yuan for a couple of seconds, nodded, and turned to leave.
Long Xiaoyao flashed and sat down not far from Lu Yuan to protect him.
Although Lu Yuan Di Tian seemed to have a harmonious relationship, Long Xiaoyao still didn't trust them. He felt most at ease having his master protected by himself.
Two hours later, around dusk, the sun hung low in the sky, and the afterglow of the setting sun reflected on the Lake of Life, making the blue waves ripple. Combined with the tranquility of the moment, it truly felt like a peaceful and serene place.
Lu Yuan opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air. This Lake of Life was indeed extraordinary. Just two hours was enough to make up for the results of a whole night of cultivation, and the speed had increased by almost two times.
Thinking about it this way, Gu Yuena could at least increase his cultivation speed by three or four times. With that in mind, Lu Yuan was somewhat tempted. He couldn't refuse such a cultivation speed!
How about we find some time to go there and cultivate for a while?
Lu Yuan thought to himself.
Seeing that Lu Yuan had opened his eyes, Long Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief. Now that his master had finished his cultivation, there was no need for him to protect him anymore.
Lu Yuan stretched and rubbed his stomach, feeling a little hungry.
Just as he was about to ask Di Tian to send someone to find him something to eat, a golden figure appeared in his sight.
Its body is covered in golden fur, and its entire body is like a translucent crystal, full of strange texture.
Its overall shape resembles a lion, but its four claws are like those of a dragon, with each claw resting on a ball of golden flame. Its mouth is also longer than that of lion-type Soul Beast, and beneath its fur appear to be golden scales.
In addition to his two eyes, there is a third eye, a vertical pupil.
The two normal eyes shimmered with gold, while the vertical pupils were red, with an eerie red hue.
"The Emperor Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion!" Lu Yuan recognized the Soul Beast at a glance. It was the Emperor Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, from the Star Dou Great Forest. It was also the favored beast of the Star Dou Great Forest. Wherever it was, the cultivation speed of all Soul Beast could be doubled, and the chance of a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast breaking through its bottleneck would be doubled.
Therefore, it is revered by all Soul Beast as the Emperor Auspicious Beast.
