Finally Fell for It

"Shall I go kill her?"

Gu Yuena glared at Bai Tu, her irritation already piqued by that foul-mouthed woman in the Chat Group.

"No need~"

Bai Tu embraced Gu Yuena, choosing not to continue speaking in the Chat Group himself.

He had already decided that once he finished handling his own affairs, he would go and make Bibi Dong bear his children.

"Hm?"

Just as Gu Yuena was about to speak again, her expression suddenly turned strange.

She looked suspiciously toward a certain location on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Bai Tu did not pay much attention to Gu Yuena's reaction, though he too sensed that a Power of Fate had emerged in the direction she was watching. Moreover, it felt as if it were his own subordinate.

The two exchanged a glance and vanished from where they stood.

Somewhere on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest...

A tiny golden lion was curled up on the ground.

Her entire body appeared as if made of translucent crystal, filled with a strange, ethereal texture.

Her overall form resembled a lion, yet her four paws were like dragon claws, with each one treading upon a cluster of golden flames.

Her muzzle was longer than that of typical leonine soul beasts, and beneath her fur, there seemed to be fine, dense golden scales.

Beyond her normal pair of eyes, she possessed a third eye—a vertical slit.

Her two normal eyes shimmered with gold, while the vertical eye emitted a red light, a red that carried a hint of eerie mystery.

"A second Auspicious Beast??"

Gu Yuena stared at the little creature on the ground in disbelief.

"Will she interfere with you?"

Gu Yuena frowned as she looked at Bai Tu.

"Stop thinking about killing all the time~"

Bai Tu pinched Gu Yuena's pouting lips and replied with a grin.

He stepped forward and scooped the little lion, who was still unable to stand, into his arms.

"The Power of Fate she wields is subordinate to mine."

"And... look closely at her bloodline. Don't you think she is the true Emperor Auspicious Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest?"

Bai Tu patted the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's little bottom, and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked at Bai Tu with curious, affectionate golden eyes.

"Golden Dragon?"

Gu Yuena fell into silence.

"I suspect that my Power of Fate underwent a transformation upon reaching the hundred-thousand-year mark, causing the Star Dou to give birth to a new Auspicious Beast."

Bai Tu speculated. One had to know that the Fate he mastered was already learning about Propagation; perhaps his horizons had grown too high to care for the fate of mere soul beasts anymore?

After all, as an Auspicious Beast, one had the duty to assist in the growth of other soul beasts.

Perhaps his own Fate, in its pursuit of a higher realm, had simply offloaded its duties and abilities onto a newcomer?

"You don't have my bloodline, do you?"

After a moment of thought, Gu Yuena offered a guess of world-shaking wisdom!

"???"

Bai Tu looked at Gu Yuena, at a loss for words.

"Look, the Auspicious Beast is always the most noble among soul beasts."

"And in this world, what soul beast is more noble than the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings?"

"Therefore, the Emperor Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, possesses the bloodline of the Golden Dragon!"

Gu Yuena scrutinized Bai Tu.

"And you just happen to be able to control seven elemental powers!"

Gu Yuena's eyes were filled with suspicion, and within that suspicion, a hint of tenderness.

"First, I do not have your bloodline, and I do not believe my bloodline is inferior to yours."

Bai Tu tossed the little lion onto his head and fiercely pulled Gu Yuena into his arms.

"Second, even if I did have your bloodline, I am not your descendant. Born of heaven and earth, we are at most of the same kin! Quickly put away that benevolent look of yours!"

As he spoke, Bai Tu kissed Gu Yuena's lips, teaching this mischievous little Silver Dragon a lesson!

Perched on his head, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion watched curiously as her vibrating little nest continued to shake.

"Stop~"

Gu Yuena took a deep suck of Bai Tu's tongue, then pushed him away, still wanting more.

"There are children present!"

Gu Yuena shot Bai Tu a glare and took the little lion down from his head.

"Give her a name. We'll leave her with Zi Ji when we go."

"Hmm, hmm..."

Bai Tu fell into deep thought.

"How about Bai Jinjin?"

Bai Tu's eyes lit up!

"Heh~"

Gu Yuena looked at Bai Tu with disdain.

"Bai Huanghuang? Bai Huangjin? Bai Xiaohuang? Bai Dahuang?"

"Roar!!!"

The little lion blew a puff of air at Bai Tu in anger!

"Just kidding! How about Bai Jinqiu? We can call her Qiuqiu for short?"

Bai Tu extended a finger into the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's toothless mouth.

Wisps of the Power of Fate coiled around his finger.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion squinted her eyes and began to suck on it gently.

"Why the surname Bai?"

Gu Yuena asked in return, though she had already agreed to the name.

"Because we are both Auspicious Beasts!"

Bai Tu spoke with righteous confidence.

"And besides..."

Bai Tu's voice suddenly deepened.

"And besides... I am rather selfish. I don't want to see your shadow on anyone else, even if... it is just a surname."

Bai Tu looked at Gu Yuena with deep affection.

"You fox spirit~"

Gu Yuena turned her head away, muttering under her breath.

A blush had already crept up onto her earlobes.

"And I am Great King Nana's fox spirit!"

Bai Tu put his hands on his hips.

"Hmph~"

Gu Yuena laughed, shot Bai Tu a glance, and vanished from the spot, taking Bai Jinqiu with her.

"Wait for me, I'm going to send her back."

Gu Yuena's voice still echoed in Bai Tu's ears.

"Now that that's settled! Time to hit the group chat!"

Bai Tu entered the Chat Group.

He immediately saw that almost everyone was criticizing Bibi Dong for her harsh words.

Especially Qian Renxue and Dugu Yan.

As for Bibi Dong's side, only Hu Liena was trying to smooth things over, claiming that Bibi Dong had spoken without thinking...

[Bai Tu: Since the person herself doesn't want me to say it, I won't say it for now.]

[Bai Tu: It's alright, everyone, please stop scolding Sister Bibi Dong! Little Fox doesn't care about what she said. Little Fox pouting.jpg]

[Qian Renxue: Why are you wasting your breath on her!]

[Qian Renxue: When you come over, we can talk about it privately!]

[Bai Tu: Sister Bibi Dong, I'm sorry. Little Fox didn't mean to pick at your scars.]

[Bai Tu: Sister is absolutely right. Little Fox was born in the soul beast society and doesn't understand the rules of you humans.]

[Hu Liena: Teacher is just blunt and speaks her mind; she meant no harm! Don't be sad, Tutu!]

[Bai Tu: Exclusive Red Packet for Bibi Dong]

[Bai Tu: A small token of apology. Please, Sister, don't be angry anymore! @Bibi Dong]

[Bai Tu: Little Fox rolling on the ground.jpg]

[Bibi Dong has claimed Bai Tu's Red Packet.]

Bibi Dong accepted the red packet with a cold sneer; she did not believe a word of this little green tea's nonsense, but as long as she conducted non-contact research, even if there were issues...

Bibi Dong's expression stiffened.

The small white ball of light that had suddenly appeared before her instantly entered her body!

She hadn't even had the slightest chance to react!

[Bai Tu: Finally took the bait! Huang Bo flipping hair.jpg]

[Bai Tu: Now that your child calls me Daddy, what should you call me? Little Fox standing upright with hands on hips.jpg]

[Qian Renxue: I knew it! You wicked fox!]

[Hu Liena: Teacher is going to have a baby??!]

[Bibi Dong: I am going to kill you!!!]

[Bibi Dong: Bai Tu!! I will flay your skin and drink your blood!]

[Bibi Dong: You bastard!]
