Call You Qiu'er!

As the strongest being in the Star Dou Great Forest, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, the leader of Ferocious Beast, Di Tian truly didn't know what beauty was.

Is being pretty really that important?

In Di Tian's eyes, only strength matters, and he simply cannot understand Gu Yuena's words.

After all, very few Soul Beast know how to fall in love; most of them are only interested in the continuation of their bloodline and reproduction.

The word "love" is foreign to Soul Beast, including Di Tian.

So he was completely baffled by Gu Yuena's claim that Lu Yuan wasn't angry because Gu Yuena was pretty.

Does being angry have anything to do with being pretty?

Di Tian really didn't understand.

However, he genuinely respected the Silver Dragon King, and since it was his lord who spoke, it couldn't be wrong. If his lord couldn't be wrong, then his inability to understand it must be due to his own insufficient understanding.

Di Tian couldn't help but secretly blame himself. It seemed that he still needed to work harder in his cultivation. Compared to his master, he was really far behind.

"Yes, my lord, I will bring Lu Yuan to see you tomorrow!" Di Tian nodded slightly, and then his figure disappeared.

The next day, Lu Yuan was still asleep!

Suddenly, he felt a wet sensation on his face. Lu Yuan opened his eyes and found that it was the little Three-Eyed Golden Lion licking him.

"Is it dawn yet?" Looking at the slightly bright sky, the sun in the east had not yet risen, only emitting a faint red glow, just in the prelude to sunrise.

Lu Yuan's Double Pupils contracted, and he could see the wisps of purple energy permeating the sky. If he had the Purple Demon Eyes, he could absorb the nascent purple energy for cultivation.

However, he already possessed Double Pupils, so he didn't take the trashy Purple Demon Eyes seriously. But besides the Purple Demon Eyes, there were other techniques he could use to utilize the nascent purple energy.

Daoists have a saying about eating the clouds and drinking the dew, so this purple energy can naturally be absorbed to improve one's cultivation. Coincidentally, Lu Yuan's Qingqi Sutra can do just that.

Moreover, this purple energy is exceptionally pure, but the quantity is too small. Although it has some benefits for cultivation, they are not significant. Therefore, Lu Yuan has rarely used it over the years.

The Qingqi Sutra circulated, absorbing all the purple qi from the horizon into its body. This purple qi was truly pure, and in an instant, it transformed into the Qingqi Sutra's Soul Power, flowing mightily.

Half a quarter of an hour later!

The sun rises, and the purple aura dissipates!

Lu Yuan sighed softly. Half an hour each day was far too short. Although the purple energy had considerable benefits, how much effect could it have in such a short time? Although it could speed up cultivation, it was still only equivalent to a normal hour.

Lu Yuan's cultivation speed is now at least twice as fast as it used to be by the Lake of Life. He didn't really care about such a short time's increase in cultivation speed.

If I remember, I'll absorb and refine it; if I don't, then so be it.

Unlike Tang San, who spends his days cultivating his Purple Demon Eyes with these purple energies, he has Double Pupils, and his eyesight improves every day, making everyone look like a tortoise crawling.

"Little guy!" Lu Yuan patted the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's head. "Do you have a name?"

"Name?" the Three-Eyed Golden Lion asked in a slightly childish voice.

"You can talk?" Lu Yuan looked at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in surprise. It had only been five thousand years, yet it could already talk. Was this Emperor Auspicious Beast really that magical?

"I know a little!" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's clear voice rang out again.

"Haha!" Lu Yuan laughed loudly upon hearing this. Being able to speak is much better than not being able to speak at all.

If it can't speak, then you can only guess what it's thinking, but those thoughts are not so easy to guess.

But if you can speak, you can communicate directly, which is much more convenient.

"Little guy, do you have a name?" Lu Yuan asked.

"No!" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion shook its head.

"Then I'll give you a name, how about Qiu'er?" Lu Yuan said with a smile.

"Qiu'er? That's a beautiful name. I'll be called Qiu'er from now on!" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion blinked its golden eyes and then nodded.

Lu Yuan patted the head of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. When he heard the name Qiu'er, he was reminded of Wang Qiu'er's tragic ending in the original story. He became even more certain that his plan yesterday was correct.

Tang San deserves to be tormented!

"My name is Lu Yuan. You can call me brother from now on, and I'll call you Qiu'er. How about that?" A smile appeared on Lu Yuan's face.

"Okay, brother!" the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's clear voice rang out.

"Qiu'er!"

"Elder brother!"

Lu Yuan smiled and patted its head, feeling like he had gained another little sister.

From a bloodline perspective, there's some merit to the idea of taking in this younger sister.

The two were chatting and laughing when suddenly, Di Tian's figure reappeared.

"The Lord wishes to see you!" Di Tian said.

"Want to see me?" Lu Yuan frowned slightly. What was Gu Yuena up to now?

However, since she wants to see me, I might as well go and see her.

"Qiu'er, wait here for a while, your brother will be back to play with you soon!" Lu Yuan said with a smile.

"Okay!" A crisp voice reached Lu Yuan's ears.

A strange space at the bottom of the Lake of Life!

Di Tian's figure slowly disappeared again. He knew that the conversation that followed was something he shouldn't have known!

"You wanted to see me about something?" Looking at Gu Yuena's stunningly beautiful face, Lu Yuan's voice was calm.

"It seems you get along well with the Auspicious Beast!" Gu Yuena smiled slightly.

"Heh, wasn't Qiu'er someone you specially sent to my side?" Lu Yuan looked at Gu Yuena with a half-smile.

"You know?" Gu Yuena asked, her eyes filled with surprise.

"Am I that stupid?" Lu Yuan gave her a strange look and said, "Qiu'er appeared not long before Di Tian followed. Isn't that obvious?"

Gu Yuena became curious again, "Aren't you angry at all?"

"Why should I be angry? I like Qiu'er very much. She is like my sister. There is a kind of close feeling that comes from the depths of our blood."

"However, I hope this is the last time. I don't really like the feeling of being schemed against, but this isn't the first time it's happened to you!"

Lu Yuan said calmly.

Gu Yuena remained silent.

Looking at Gu Yuena's beautiful face, Lu Yuan took two steps forward, the distance between them less than a foot.

Seeing Lu Yuan so close to her, Gu Yuena was momentarily flustered.

Lu Yuan stretched out his right hand and, amidst Gu Yuena's incredulous expression, lifted her chin, examining her closely. "She really is beautiful. It's a pity, if only she could be less scheming!"

Feeling the warmth from Lu Yuan's fingertips, Gu Yuena's heart began to pound.

"No one has ever treated you like this before, has anyone?" Lu Yuan said with a gentle smile.

Seeing Lu Yuan's smile, Gu Yuena's face flushed slightly, and at the same time, a strange feeling slowly rose in her heart.
