Core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.

A golden soul beast with the body of a lion and dragon claws on its four feet lay by the lake.

The surface of the lake reflected her appearance, and as she swiped a claw down, ripples spread out from the shore.

"Chi Wang, you are so ugly."

Cold and childlike words spilled from the mouth of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

Chi Wang, who was taking a nap nearby, was speechless: "Little ancestor, do you even know what beauty and ugliness are? In the soul beast world, I, Chi Wang, am a being that has captivated thousands of soul beasts."

"But you have three heads?"

"What kind of talk is that? What kind of talk is that? Does having three heads make me ugly?" Having his most proud feature called ugly by the Auspicious Beast, Chi Wang stood up in agitation.

A massive mastiff paw pointed at his own head, leaving the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to contemplate the meaning for herself.

You have three eyes yourself, don't you? What right do you have to call me ugly? However, since the one in front of him was a little ancestor, Chi Wang could only swallow those words.

"Hmm, only Bi Ji is pretty, and she glows too." The Three-Eyed Golden Lion tilted her little head, using the vocabulary she had learned over the days to praise Bi Ji.

Chi Wang, who didn't understand that "glowing" was a compliment, didn't know how to respond to this little ancestor; it turned out that in her eyes, being able to glow meant being beautiful.

No wonder she was always staring at his glowing reflection in the lake; it turned out she was judging beauty.

"Sigh, little ancestor, you should just stay here by yourself. Chatting with you is more tiring than fighting; you really have broken my heart, Chi Wang."

Chi Wang shook his head and curled up right where he was.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was very playful and would likely play for a long while before settling down, so he might as well stay put to avoid being beaten up by Di Tian for dereliction of duty later.

Seeing that the big lug Chi Wang was ignoring her again, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion sat by the lake in a sulk, covering her head.

[Ding, the World-Shocking Wisdom System is at your service.]

Hearing this voice, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion immediately lifted her head and looked left and right.

She thought it was Chi Wang speaking, but Chi Wang's voice was unpleasant, and this voice sounded very nice, so it wasn't him. This matter, which exceeded her brain capacity, left her feeling confused.

[Big Sister is in your mind.]

The voice appeared again, and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion felt a bit terrified.

"Who... who is talking?"

The World-Shocking Wisdom realized that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was still treating the air beside her as an imaginary enemy.

It couldn't help but sigh.

As expected of a little fool who believes whatever anyone says to sow discord, I'd better give you an extra year's worth of wisdom first so that we can communicate normally.

[Wisdom +1 granted, current outstanding tasks: one]

Along with this, the World-Shocking Wisdom packed up everything about what it was and how to use it, and sent it all to the Auspicious Beast.

There was no other way.

She had the mind of a child but lacked the agility of a child's thinking; if it didn't take the initiative to chat with this host, it would probably be stuck as a "senior citizen phone" for the rest of its life.

Silent changes occurred within the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

She sat up straight, and a sense of clarity passed through her mind.

Her head felt itchy, as if she were finally growing a brain.

[Can you talk to Big Sister properly now?]

The World-Shocking Wisdom knew that the little bit of intelligence added to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion wouldn't be of much use, but at least she could now understand its identity.

"Hmm..."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion found that this thing didn't seem to harm her, so she responded quietly.

[Do you want to grow a brain?]

The World-Shocking Wisdom's seductive, devilish whisper echoed in the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's ears.

Hearing the words of the World-Shocking Wisdom, she covered her vision with a paw and snuck a glance at Chi Wang.

She hurriedly shook her head: "No, two heads are so ugly, I don't want to become a monster."

If the World-Shocking Wisdom had hands, it would definitely be making that face-palming meme right now.

Oh my god~

[It's not literal; it means letting you grow up, like Bi Ji, you know?]

It chose the most common and easy-to-understand example.

But the Three-Eyed Golden Lion still shook her head: "No, you are not a good person."

[I'm not even a person, little ancestor.]

[Do you know what it means to grow a brain?]

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion stared with her wise eyes and answered honestly: "I... I don't know."

Seeing that the explanation from just a moment ago hadn't sunk in, it had no choice but to explain again.

[It's just to let you know that when you're hungry you need to eat, when you're thirsty you need to drink water, and when it rains you need to run home.]

"So... so amazing."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion realized that what she said was about the same as what she already knew; she hadn't realized she was so capable.

[And I can also turn you into a powerful Soul Beast, you know.]

This sentence immediately grabbed her attention.

Di Tian had said that even now, she could already defeat those ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

She could amplify the cultivation years of other Soul Beasts by double, yet her own cultivation was incredibly slow—it would be better to just live a long life—which made her feel very weak.

If she could become a powerful Soul Beast like Di Tian, wouldn't she be able to run around and play everywhere?

"Hehe... I like getting stronger."

[Go ahead and accept your Newbie Gift Pack.]

This was something the World-Shocking Wisdom hadn't given yet because she wasn't sure if the Three-Eyed Golden Lion truly wanted her.

She was genuinely afraid that this little ancestor would just say "I don't want it" and toss the big gift pack away.

Now, after coaxing her for so long, she could finally get down to business.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion used her paws to mimic the gesture of cupping water and said blankly: "Come on, give it to me."

The World-Shocking Wisdom chose to click it open for her directly.

[Congratulations on obtaining]

[Invisibility Technique]

[Clone Technique]

[Transformation Technique]

[One Heavenly Eye]

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion tilted her head to look at these four things, seemingly waiting for an explanation.

The World-Shocking Wisdom realized she would be a nanny for who knows how many years to come and said in agony.

[The Invisibility Technique and Clone Technique are similar to the Soul Skills you use; they are things that can make even that big dog beside you unable to tell the difference.]

"Even Chi Wang can't tell the difference?"

A joyful light lit up in the eyes of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

Doesn't that mean she could run around and play everywhere from now on?

[Ahem... as for the Transformation Technique, it allows you to change your body size and hide your aura. When paired with your own Power of Fate, even gods won't be able to detect you.]

The World-Shocking Wisdom introduced it with some pride, but upon realizing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was still waiting for her to explain the last one, she immediately abandoned the thought of casting pearls before swine.

[The last one, the Heavenly Eye, can protect your Eye of Fate from external influences. Simply put, attribute attraction will be useless against you, and divine sense will be unable to attach itself to you.]

This last one hit like a bolt of lightning.

The secret of the Auspicious Beast that no one knew had actually been solved so simply.

Although her intelligence wasn't high, she had always faced those Soul Beasts that dared to approach her with a fierce appearance, even with Di Tian and the others; the reason for this was precisely because of this.

But now that this hidden danger was resolved, she wouldn't have to carefully guard her Eye of Fate anymore.

[You aren't resisting anymore, are you?]

The voice of the World-Shocking Wisdom rang out in the mind of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
