A Jing, Leave the Three-Eyed Golden Lion Behind!

Inside the Ghost Shadow Kingdom, Xu Xin stared blankly at the little golden-furred, three-eyed beast, feeling utterly awful.

Damn it, this thing was the Imperial Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

Black energy slowly began to emerge from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's body, wisps of it continuously winding around her.

The golden light radiating from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's body kept resisting the black energy.

That golden light was faint and could not hold it back at all. "Take her back to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and have the First Elder watch over her."

"I'll be there shortly."

Xu Xin immediately spoke up.

If they delayed any longer, Xu Xin suspected that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion would turn dark.

If anything happened to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, those fellows in the Star Dou Great Forest would go mad.

Outside, a three-headed demon mastiff roared madly, its heart filled with anxiety.

Hellfire continuously spewed from its mouths, instantly reducing the surrounding plants to nothing. "No! No!"

"The Auspicious Beast is gone!!!"

Gone. The Auspicious Beast was really gone.

He was doomed. He could already imagine what he was about to go through.

The Auspicious Beast that had finally been born had been lost because of him...

The Three-Headed Crimson Demon Mastiff Crimson King kept swallowing, his face filled with terror. It was over, it was over. He was finished.

He could already picture what he would suffer after returning...

Dejected, Crimson King roared again and rushed toward the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest. The most important thing now was to hurry back and tell his master so they could make amends.

Run away? Unless he wanted to die, running was the stupidest possible choice.

After stepping out of the Ghost Shadow Kingdom, Xu Xin saw the Three-Eyed Golden Lion curled up affectionately in A Yin's arms.

"Sister A Yin, you two...?"

Xu Xin looked at A Yin and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in surprise.

A Yin shot Xu Xin a resentful look. This guy caused trouble the moment he came back.

"Come with me."

Holding the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the two entered the wooden cabin.

As soon as they entered, A Yin looked at Xu Xin helplessly. "Why did you capture the Auspicious Beast and bring her back?"

Xu Xin also looked helpless. "At first, I didn't realize she was the Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. I just thought she looked obedient and wanted to bring her back to raise her."

Xu Xin spoke awkwardly. He truly had not recognized her at first. It was only after hearing that savage beast roar that he remembered this cute and lovely little beast was the Imperial Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

But it was already too late. The Ninja Soldiers were too fast and had already taken the Three-Eyed Golden Lion into the Ghost Shadow Kingdom.

"Then what do you plan to do now?" A Yin asked irritably.

Fortunately, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had not died, or this would have become a huge problem.

"Send her back. What else can we do? We can't take on that bunch of savage beasts right now."

Xu Xin spread his hands. There was nothing else to be done.

The moment Xu Xin said that, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in A Yin's arms immediately became unhappy. She shook her head desperately and let out low whimpering howls.

A Yin rubbed her head and looked at Xu Xin. "She says she doesn't want to go back. This place is nice, and she refuses to return."

"She also says she wants to know what you wanted that Abdominal Toad for."

Xu Xin scratched his head. This little fellow had merely howled a few times, yet she had said so much?

"Sister A Yin, do you think those savage beasts will let us keep this little fellow here?"

Xu Xin helplessly spread his hands. He wanted to keep her too, but he could not afford to provoke Di Tian right now.

At that, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion shook her head even harder, as though she were acting cute.

Seeing this, A Yin's heart melted completely. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was so obedient and adorable—who would not like her?

"Xu Xin, how about we keep her..." A Yin said as she looked at Xu Xin.

"If we insist on keeping her, we'll have to speak with those savage beasts. With you, A Yin, it should be possible."

"If they truly refuse, then we'll return the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. What do you think?"

After pondering for a moment, Xu Xin spoke. This was still too risky. They should discuss it with Di Tian and the others first.

Besides, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was very suitable for cultivation. He also had enough pills and would not mistreat the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

A Yin nodded slightly, happily holding the Three-Eyed Golden Lion as maternal affection flooded her heart.

Xu Xin gave a wry smile and silently left the wooden cabin.

After arriving at the Shadow Hall, Xu Xin opened the Ghost Shadow Kingdom and brought out the man from the City of Slaughter.

"Master!"

The man's voice was somewhat shrill. He seemed like an entirely different person.

Black energy radiated from his entire body. He was incomparably ugly and utterly disgusting, and Xu Xin did not even want to look at him.

"From now on, your name is A Jing. In a few days, I'll take you to find Tang Hao."

Upon hearing Xu Xin's words, pink light immediately shone from A Jing's eyes. The darkness had magnified the desires in his heart, and he could not wait to see Tang Hao.

"A Jing understands!"

A Jing's voice was incomparably soft and delicate, and he spoke in a constantly affected tone.

Xu Xin shuddered all over, feeling utterly awful. If this little mincer acted any gentler, it would be a miracle if that brute Tang Hao could withstand it.

"Tell me, how did you become like this?"

Xu Xin sat in his chair and calmly listened to A Jing's report.

"After A Hao left, his enemies came looking for me. But because they feared A Hao, they did not dare act rashly."

"But later, they became completely unscrupulous. My face was slashed, and my legs were crippled."

A Jing slowly spoke, recounting what had happened.

Xu Xin could only marvel. He was already calling him A Hao. That really was repaying a life-saving favor with his body.

"I understand. I'll give you some time. Go to Heaven Dou City and learn things like needlework. Be gentler, kinder."

"It would be best if you find a way to improve your face. I can help you with the rest."

Xu Xin spoke slowly. There was still a long road ahead.

"A Jing thanks Master!"

A Jing respectfully knelt before Xu Xin and spoke earnestly.

"No need. Leave now. I'll send someone to protect you in secret. When I need you, I'll have someone come take you away."

Xu Xin waved his hand. This fellow knew what to do, so Xu Xin was not worried—not in the slightest.

A Jing's heart was now filled entirely with Tang Hao. To obtain his idol, he would stop at nothing!

Not to mention that he had been corrupted by the darkness within Xu Xin's Ghost Shadow Kingdom. If Xu Xin wanted, he could kill him with ease.

A Jing soon departed, and Xu Xin sent a Ninja Soldier to protect him in secret.

Standing on the balcony, Xu Xin saw the Three-Eyed Golden Lion lying obediently beside A Yin below. The energy within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well gathered uncontrollably toward the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's body.

There was very little energy, but it was extremely pure...

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion lay there comfortably while a little baby beside her babbled and rubbed her golden fur.

"Good grief, Dugu Yan has really hit the jackpot in this life, getting to lean against the Imperial Auspicious Beast."

Seeing this, Xu Xin could not help feeling envious.

That was the Imperial Auspicious Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest, yet she was now obediently staying with a human infant...
