Star Dou Great Forest, Lake of Life.
"My Liege."
Di Tian looked at the massive body before him with a hint of reverence, a flicker of confusion in his eyes.
The auspicious beast had suddenly rushed back to the Lake of Life, insisting on seeing their Liege, making Di Tian think Crimson King had gotten the auspicious beast into some trouble. He almost beat Crimson King to a pulp.
Unable to dissuade the auspicious beast, Di Tian called out to his Liege with a tentative mindset. He hadn't expected his Liege, who had been in a deep slumber, to actually wake up?
Had something happened in the Star Dou Great Forest that he was unaware of?
First, the auspicious beast insisted on seeing his Liege, and now his Liege had woken up early... During this time, besides that Million-Year Soul Beast, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, escaping, nothing major should have happened, right?
Although the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was a Million-Year Soul Beast, Di Tian merely felt a bit of regret about its escape, not heartbroken. Such an event couldn't possibly cause his Liege to awaken early.
So... was it the auspicious beast's problem?
Di Tian's heart sank, and his golden eyes couldn't help but fall on the auspicious beast.
As the auspicious beast of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion bore the fortune of all Soul Beasts. If anything happened to her, the entire Star Dou Great Forest would be severely affected.
To put it mildly, compared to the auspicious beast, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was just a nobody.
No... the two were not comparable at all.
The Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, who had ended her slumber early, remained silent, as if trying to process some information. She would occasionally cast her gaze upon the auspicious beast, causing Di Tian and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's hearts to pound, completely unaware of what was happening.
After a moment of contemplation, Gu Yuena finally spoke:
"That Million-Year Soul Beast ran away?"
Upon hearing this, Di Tian was slightly startled. Without time to consider why she knew, he lowered his head slightly and said respectfully, "Apologies, my Liege. This was due to my negligence in supervision, allowing that bug to escape. I am actively searching; it shouldn't have gone far."
"There's no need."
Recalling the contents of the diary, Gu Yuena slowly said, "No need to look for it anymore."
If the diary was true, they wouldn't be able to find that bug. It was destined to become the Wisdom Soul Ring of that human named Huo Yuhao.
The current priority wasn't the escaped bug, but the auspicious beast, which had already been targeted by the Sea God, Tang San.
Thinking of this, a hint of anger appeared in Gu Yuena's large dragon eyes.
Those damned gods in the God Realm were still plotting to seize the fortune of the Soul Beasts!
Despicable!
Di Tian was even more bewildered. He could feel his Liege's anger, but this anger didn't seem to be directed at him?
He felt like his Liege was acting strangely after waking up this time... Was it an illusion?
"Leave the auspicious beast here, you may go."
Di Tian didn't overthink it. Although he felt some confusion, he bowed slightly and then turned to leave.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion curiously observed Gu Yuena, her heart filled with questions.
Since the matter of the diary could not be revealed to others, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion hadn't explicitly stated why she had to see her Liege, and Di Tian had only hesitantly called out a couple of times.
She hadn't expected her Liege to actually wake up.
But before she could explain the plot involving the Sea God, Tang San, her Liege had proactively asked Di Tian to leave.
Why did her Liege want to keep her here alone? It was so hard to guess!
"You... came because of what was recorded in the diary?"
As the words left her mouth, both Gu Yuena and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion were stunned.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion never expected her Liege to mention the existence of the diary. This meant that her Liege also possessed a copy of the diary!
But... why hadn't she seen her Liege in the group chat?
What was her Liege's group nickname again?
Gu Yuena, on the other hand, was surprised that she could actually speak of the diary's existence. Just now, when Di Tian was present, she had tried to mention something about the diary, but an invisible force seemed to restrain her, making it impossible to speak.
But this time, she could easily mention the diary's existence.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion had indeed come because of the matter in the diary.
A flash of understanding crossed Gu Yuena's large dragon eyes.
The auspicious beast had never actively sought her out like this before, and coincidentally, she had seen the contents of the diary. If she couldn't guess that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion also had a diary, then she, as the Silver Dragon King, might as well quit.
"I know why you've come..."
As she spoke, Gu Yuena paused and couldn't help but curse inwardly again.
Those scoundrels in the God Realm had never stopped searching for her whereabouts. Once her aura was exposed, it would lead to endless pursuit. And now, the auspicious beast, the symbol of the Soul Beasts' fortune, had been targeted by that Sea God, Tang San.
Were the Soul Beasts destined to face a tragic end?
This thought flashed through Gu Yuena's mind, and she quickly spoke again, "For the time being, stay here with me. At least now, that Sea God Tang San hasn't had a chance to tamper with you."
"With me here, his hands won't be able to reach you again."
Stay here, and always be with Master?
Although the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was somewhat reluctant to give up the freedom to roam freely in the Star Dou Great Forest, and was also reluctant to give up the delicious and juicy food, its life was undoubtedly more important now.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion hesitated not at all, its small head instantly nodding forcefully like pounding garlic.
Seeing this, Gu Yuena also nodded, and then closed her dragon eyes.
The status of this diary was definitely higher than hers, and it was even possible that it was higher than all the gods in the God Realm, or even the former Dragon God.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for her to be restricted by the rules and unable to reveal the existence of the diary.
So, this diary... or rather, that human named Ao Yao, could it be the way for Soul Beasts to break free?
As soon as this thought arose, Gu Yuena ruthlessly extinguished it.
The future of Soul Beasts, the way for Soul Beasts to break free, in the hands of a human?
It was simply laughable.
However, some of the content in this diary did serve as a reminder to her and the Soul Beasts.
Perhaps she could have Di Tian capture Ao Yao and interrogate him thoroughly?
Before Gu Yuena could react, an invisible whip fiercely lashed out at her massive body. Even she felt an unbearable pain!
Gu Yuena, who was already recuperating, felt her aura suddenly weaken.
Gu Yuena reopened her dragon eyes, a hint of dread appearing in the depths of her pupils.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion didn't understand what was happening to Gu Yuena. It just felt that the atmosphere was strange with the silence, so it tentatively asked, "Master also has a diary, so Master should also have that chat group, right? What is Master's nickname? Why haven't I noticed it?"
???
I just got whipped, and you're concerned about this?
Gu Yuena couldn't help but glance at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, but did not speak.
