Three-Eyed Golden Lion: Hey hey hey, I'm here!

Star Dou Great Forest.

"Lady Moyan, don't make things difficult for Old Bear!"

Wang Jin immediately refused when he heard that Lady Moyan wanted her third soul ring to be only a thousand years old. Lord Saint had emphasized that Lady Moyan could not be so lazy every time she absorbed a soul ring.

Seeing Wang Jin reject her suggestion, Moyan sighed inwardly. That guy was really something.

Was a third soul ring really such a big deal?

"Then you decide!" After thinking it over, Moyan ultimately let Old Bear decide for her. She did not care how many years her third soul ring had; as long as she could use soul skills, that was enough.

Seeing Moyan's lazy attitude, Wang Jin felt utterly helpless. Among the three ladies, Lady Moyan was undoubtedly the hardest to serve.

He kind of missed his old life.

All he had needed to do was keep an eye on the lives of those two Children of Destiny. There had been no need to use his brain at all.

That kind of mission suited a brainless Dragon Slave like him.

Old Huo: ???

Wang Jin said, "Lady Moyan, Miss Dugu, please wait here. I'll be right back." With that, eight soul rings rose beneath his feet as he dashed into the Star Dou Great Forest. He needed to quickly find suitable soul rings for the two of them, then take them away at once.

Lord Saint had ordered them to leave immediately after absorbing the rings. Though Wang Jin did not know why, his motto was simply two words: "Be obedient."

As for why Wang Jin had already become a Soul Douluo, Tian Mucheng had naturally strengthened all the Dragon Slaves after emptying out the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well.

Dugu Luo looked in the direction Wang Jin had left, then curiously turned to Moyan. "Sister Moyan, why aren't we following him?"

"Come here."

Though Dugu Luo was puzzled, she obediently moved closer.

Moyan raised her fair hand. Of her slender, jade-like fingers, two were especially eye-catching. They slowly extended and gently settled on Dugu Luo's smooth, egg-white forehead.

The moment they touched, it was as though some invisible energy had been awakened. It flowed from Moyan's fingertips and silently entered the depths of Dugu Luo's mind. This mysterious, wondrous power was like a trickling stream, gradually spreading out and gathering into a hazy glow that gently enveloped Dugu Luo's eyes.

After doing this, Moyan pointed toward the woods ahead. "Look at the forest in front of us."

Dugu Luo followed her gaze toward the dense forest ahead and vaguely saw a massive golden phantom within it, like an incomparably ferocious beast moving through the trees.

Due to the distance and the branches and leaves blocking her view, she could not clearly make out the beast's appearance. Yet merely from its blurry outline and the powerful aura it emitted, she could tell that it was no ordinary beast.

The golden light radiating from its body seemed to contain endless power and mystery, inspiring involuntary awe.

The aura on that beast was very similar to Lord Saint's aura.

"That is?"

Dugu Luo stared at Moyan in confusion. Although she knew Lord Saint and the others were gathering fate, she knew nothing about those memories.

Seeing that Dugu Luo had spotted it, Moyan explained, "The Three-Eyed Golden Lion. After its birth, it became the vessel of the Star Dou Great Forest's power of destiny."

"Our luck is a little bad today. That thing came to the border between the outer and inner regions of the Star Dou Great Forest, which is why I didn't want to go in." Moyan also explained why she had only wanted to absorb a thousand-year soul ring and leave. Now was not the time to encounter that beast of destiny.

After hearing Moyan's explanation, Dugu Luo understood and then asked worriedly, "What about Uncle Wang Jin?"

"No idea."

Dugu Luo:

Moyan stood with her arms crossed as she waited, while her mind pondered why the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had suddenly come out from the center of the Star Dou Great Forest. Was it really just hunting?

"Not good!" Moyan recalled something and thought, That thing has a trace of Golden Dragon King bloodline in its body. My own bloodline looks down on every Dragon Clan bloodline except Lord Saint's. Or, more accurately, my bloodline attracts hatred!

"Luo, run!"

Moyan reacted at once, warning Dugu Luo before immediately running toward the outer region of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Dugu Luo was extremely confused by Moyan's words, but she immediately followed.

"Sister Moyan, what happened?" Dugu Luo kept pace with Moyan and asked, both puzzled and curious.

"I forgot that my bloodline attracts hatred, especially from those with Dragon Clan bloodlines." Moyan explained as she ran. "All we need to do now is run like hell. It probably hasn't pinpointed our exact direction yet."

"What about Uncle Wang Jin?"

"I already notified him. He needs to finish hunting quickly, then meet us at the forest's outskirts."

At the place where the two had just stopped.

A soul beast appeared. It was over three meters long and eight chi tall at the shoulder, its entire body covered in a layer of brilliant golden fur. The golden fur made its whole body seem like translucent crystal, filled with an unusual texture.

Its overall shape resembled a lion, but its four claws were dragon claws, each stepping upon a ball of golden flame. Its mouth was also somewhat longer than that of lion-type soul beasts, and beneath its fur appeared to be dense golden scales.

Aside from its normal pair of eyes, it also possessed a third eye shaped like a vertical pupil. Its two ordinary eyes gleamed gold, while the vertical pupil emitted a demonic red light.

"Strange?"

The golden soul beast spoke in a young girl's voice. Sniffing the air, she found only the scent of the aura she had just sensed, with no other aura or traces. She fell silent.

Was her nose malfunctioning, or had she sensed it incorrectly?

"What is it, Young Mistress?" A mature male voice reached the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's ears.

After thinking for a moment, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion shook her head. "It's nothing, Uncle Scarlet King. I just suddenly felt like going for a run."

As for what she had sensed just now, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion chose to conceal it. Her ability to sense fate was extremely mysterious.

She did not want to bring unnecessary trouble to Uncle Di Tian and the others because of an erroneous perception.

Seeing this, Scarlet King did not ask further. He knew the auspicious beast was hiding something, but since she would not say it, there was no need for him to make trouble for himself.

"Huff, huff, huff~"

Elsewhere in the Star Dou Great Forest, Moyan leaned against a large tree and gasped for breath. It had truly been too long since she had exercised.

Her heart felt like it was beating so fast now.

Beside her, Dugu Luo was doing much better. Having spent years hiding and running with her mother, she was naturally in far better shape than this lazybones.

Moyan looked behind her again. Seeing that the golden mass had not followed, she sighed in relief and immediately established a mental connection with her main body to solve this problem. She did not want to keep being a humanoid hate magnet whenever she came to the Star Dou Great Forest in the future.

"Moshi moshi~ Main body, say something!"

"What is it?"

Tian Mucheng, who was in the Far North looking for Xiao Xue's ninth soul ring, suddenly received Moyan's mental connection and asked curiously.

"Main body, do you know what happened? I almost ran into the Three-Eyed Golden Lion!"

"???"
