Scarlet King's Threat Was Laughable

"Watch out, Venusaur has defeated that big guy!"

Beside a small lake, Venusaur, now back to its original size, is battling a giant blue crocodile, while Three-Eyed Golden Lion Venusaur it on.

Upon seeing this, Qing Mu's lips twitched slightly. "Is it really appropriate for a Imperial Auspicious Beast to cheer for humans?"

Venusaur is Martial Soul, so it's alright!

However, this Three-Eyed Golden Lion adapted quite quickly, becoming good friends with Venusaur in such a short time.

Soon, under the Power Whip of Venusaur, the blue crocodile let out a mournful cry and was defeated by Venusaur.

"Yay! We won again!"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion also cheered and quickly ran towards Venusaur.

"Da na, da na~"

Venusaur also took a liking to this little fangirl who was an experience booster, and the two quickly became friends.

Seeing this, Qing Mu smiled faintly. He wasn't against it; as long as Venusaur was happy, that was all that mattered.

After all, Venusaur has no Pokémon in this world, so having a companion like Three-Eyed Golden Lion is a good thing.

"Gurgle~"

After playing for a while, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's stomach suddenly rumbled, and she scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Qing Mu, could you get me some to eat? I want to Light Attribute Soul Beast."

"Okay, I'll find it for you in a bit."

Qing Mu Qing Mu. He generally didn't kill Soul Beast unless absolutely necessary, but the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's request for food was undoubtedly legitimate.

After all, although Soul Beast are said to be a large category, they are actually quite different, and it is as natural for them to devour each other as for humans to eat animal meat.

Moreover, as Imperial Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion inherently possesses the right to eat. Soul Beast chosen by it as food cannot resist and can only flee.

"Hehe, thank you, Brother Qing Mu."

Upon seeing Qing Mu agree, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was overjoyed, and even its attitude towards Qing Mu changed somewhat.

Seeing this, Qing Mu couldn't help but smile. This Three-Eyed Golden Lion seemed even more naive than he had imagined.

Indeed, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion is currently only following those Ferocious Beast, and can only sneak out if it wants to. It is definitely different from the willful and somewhat spoiled girl ten thousand years later.

Just then, a dark red figure suddenly rushed from a distance and arrived in front of Qing Mu in the blink of an eye, launching an attack on Qing Mu.

"Humans, how dare you kidnap Auspicious Beast! Die!"

The dark red figure attacking Qing Mu was none other than the Scarlet King. He had spent a long time catching up with Qing Mu, and his heart was already filled with rage.

Upon discovering that the powerful human titled expert he was somewhat wary of was absent, and that only a Soul Emperor was guarding the Auspicious Beast, he immediately rushed forward, intending to kill Qing Mu instantly and save the Auspicious Beast from its suffering.

Seeing Qing Mu about to die under his claws, the Scarlet King couldn't help but reveal a cruel smile.

However, the smile on his face froze instantly the next moment, because his attack was blocked by a light green shield.

"A mere Soul Emperor actually blocked my attack? Could this shield be the Invincible Golden Body?"

The Scarlet King was shocked, his mind racing as he considered everything about the green protective shield.

A moment later, the green shield dissipated, and a dark green toad with a powerful aura, no smaller than him, appeared before the Scarlet King.

I said, "Can we talk?"

Qing Mu stood with his hands behind his back, perched atop Venusaur. His dark green clothes fluttered in the strong wind, giving him an air of power.

Upon seeing Qing Mu and the regenerated Venusaur, Scarlet King seemed to understand something and instinctively exclaimed, "It was you!"

It matches up! That strange aura from before matches up. No wonder the lingering aura had such a strong Soul Beast smell, yet also a faint human scent. It turns out this human's Martial Soul is quite peculiar; most of their combat power lies in this detached, Soul Beast -like Martial Soul.

But soon, the Scarlet King realized he had lost his composure, and seeing that the Auspicious Beast was unharmed, his expression softened, and he said coldly:

"What's there to talk about? I have nothing to talk about with a human like you. Quickly hand over that little golden lion beside you, and we'll end things here. Otherwise, you'll face the wrath of the Soul Beast Clan."

"Soul Beast Clan, pfft~ Hahaha..."

Upon hearing the Scarlet King mention the Soul Beast Clan, Qing Mu couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing Qing Mu's actions, the Scarlet King's expression darkened, and he barely suppressed his anger, asking, "What are you laughing at?"

"I thought of some happy things," Qing Mu replied, forcing a smile.

The Scarlet King pressed on with an unfriendly expression, "What's the good news?"

"I just obtained a Ninety-Thousand-Year Soul Bone," Qing Mu replied with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, the Scarlet King's expression softened slightly. For humans, obtaining a Ninety-Thousand-Year Soul Bone was indeed a cause for celebration.

Immediately, the Scarlet King seemed to Frisk something and said fiercely to Qing Mu, "Human, don't change the subject, hurry up and give me that little golden lion next to you!"

"No, this Soul Beast and my Martial Soul hit it off immediately and get along well. How about letting her stay with me for the time being?"

Qing Mu refused outright. He was joking; he still needed the Double Experience from the Three-Eyed Three-Eyed Golden Lion Three-Eyed Golden Lion, so how could he possibly return it to the other party?

Seeing that Qing Mu was unwilling to hand over the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the Scarlet King's eyes turned cold, and his tone became chilling:

"Human, you'd better think this through. Do you know what that Soul Beast beside you is?"

Her name is Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the only Imperial Auspicious Beast on the continent, and the bearer of the fortune of the Soul Beast Clan race. Wherever she is, the growth rate of Soul Beast doubles, and the chances of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast surviving the Heavenly Tribulation also increase significantly.

If anything were to happen to her, all the Soul Beast in the world would surely fight to the death with humans!

"I know everything you're saying, so I won't hurt her. I just want her to stay with me temporarily."

Despite the Scarlet King's chilling killing intent, Qing Mu's expression remained unchanged.

If the Soul Beast Clan were truly as strong as the Scarlet King claimed, their territory wouldn't have been constantly encroached upon by humans.

In fact, the Soul Beast Clan is even more disorganized than humans, and this kind of social structure, which doesn't even qualify as a tribe, will never become stronger.

Humanity, on the other hand, can continuously accumulate strength. As long as there are no major breaks in the development of the population, and given enough time, each generation can become stronger than the last.

This is evidenced by the fact that the prestige of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast decreased in the Douluo 2.

The only Soul Beast Clan is Di Tian, who can Instruct all the Soul Beast on the continent. Otherwise, the Soul Beast, unable to organize themselves, would be no match for the humans.
