Finally Took the Bait

"Should I go kill her?"

Gu Yuena glared at Bai Tu, fuming. That foul-mouthed woman in the Chat Group had already gotten on her nerves!

"No need~"

Bai Tu put his arms around Gu Yuena. He didn't say anything more in the Chat Group, either.

He'd already decided that once he'd taken care of his business, he'd go make Bibi Dong have a baby.

"Hm?"

Gu Yuena was just about to speak again when her expression suddenly turned strange!

Puzzled, she looked toward a spot on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest!

Bai Tu hadn't paid attention to Gu Yuena's reaction, but he sensed it too. In the direction she was watching, a similar Power of Fate seemed to have appeared—and it felt almost like one of his subordinates?

The two exchanged a glance, then vanished from the spot!

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

A tiny golden lion was curled up on the ground.

Her body seemed to be made of translucent crystal, its surface gleaming with an unusual texture.

Her overall shape resembled a lion, but her four paws were like dragon claws, each one treading on a cluster of golden flames.

Her muzzle was a little longer than that of an ordinary lion-type Soul Beast. Beneath her fur, it seemed, lay fine golden scales.

And besides her two normal eyes, she had a third one—a vertical pupil.

Gold gleamed in her two ordinary eyes, while her vertical pupil shone a strangely alluring red.

"A second Auspicious Beast??"

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

"Will she get in your way?"

Gu Yuena turned to Bai Tu with a frown.

"Can you stop trying to kill everyone all the time~"

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

He stepped forward and picked up the little lion, who still couldn't stand, cradling her in his arms.

"The Power of Fate she controls is a lesser version of mine."

"And... take a closer look at her bloodline. Don't you think she's the true Auspicious Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest?"

Bai Tu patted the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's little bottom. Her golden eyes gazed up at him, curious and affectionate.

"Golden Dragon?"

Gu Yuena fell silent.

"My guess is that my Power of Fate underwent a transformation after reaching a hundred thousand years, which allowed the Star Dou Great Forest to give birth to a new Auspicious Beast."

Bai Tu made a guess. His Power of Fate had already started learning Propagation. Maybe its horizons had broadened so much that it no longer thought much of the fate of Soul Beasts?

After all, as an Auspicious Beast, it also had the duty of helping Soul Beasts grow.

Maybe his Fate had wanted to pursue an even higher realm, so it had simply passed its duties and abilities on to the newcomer?

"Could she have inherited your bloodline?"

After a moment's thought, Gu Yuena came up with a startlingly brilliant theory!

"???"

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

"Look, an Auspicious Beast is usually the most noble of all Soul Beasts."

"And what Soul Beast in this world could be nobler than the Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King?"

"So the Emperor Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, must have the bloodline of the Golden Dragon!"

Gu Yuena studied Bai Tu.

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

Suspicion filled Gu Yuena's eyes, along with a hint of affection.

"First, I don't have your bloodline. I don't think mine is inferior to yours."

Bai Tu tossed the little lion onto his head, then pulled Gu Yuena into his arms with a fierce hug.

"Second, even if I did have your bloodline, I still wouldn't be your descendant. Born of heaven and earth, we'd be kin at most! Stop looking at me like a doting mother!"

As he spoke, Bai Tu kissed Gu Yuena, teaching the mischievous Little Silver Dragon a lesson!

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion on his head watched curiously as the little nest beneath her trembled.

"Stop~"

Gu Yuena gave Bai Tu's tongue a deep suck, then pushed him away, still reluctant to let go.

"There's a child here!"

Gu Yuena rolled her eyes at Bai Tu and lifted the little lion off his head.

"Give her a name. When we leave, we'll leave her with Zi Ji."

"Mm..."

Bai Tu pondered.

"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 angrily huffed at Bai Tu!

"I'm just kidding! How about Bai Jinqiu? We can call her Qiuqiu for short?"

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

Threads of Power of Fate curled around his finger.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion closed her eyes and gently suckled on it.

"Why the surname Bai?"

Gu Yuena asked, though she'd already agreed to the name.

"Because we're both Auspicious Beasts!"

Bai Tu replied with complete confidence.

"And..."

Bai Tu's voice suddenly grew low.

"And... I'm selfish. I don't want to see any trace of you in anyone else, not even... just your surname."

Bai Tu gazed at Gu Yuena with deep affection.

"You fox!"

Gu Yuena turned her head and muttered under her breath.

Her earlobes had already turned red.

"Then I'm Great King Nana's fox!"

Bai Tu put his hands on his hips.

"Hmph~"

Gu Yuena smiled and rolled her eyes at Bai Tu, then vanished with Bai Jinqiu.

"Wait for me. I'll take her back."

Gu Yuena's voice lingered in Bai Tu's ears.

"Well, since things have come to this! Time to chat!"

Bai Tu entered the Chat Group.

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

Qian Renxue and Dugu Yan were especially furious.

Meanwhile, Hu Liena was the only one trying to smooth things over on Bibi Dong's side, saying that Bibi Dong hadn't meant anything by it...

[White Tu: Since she doesn't want me to say it, I'll keep quiet for now]

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

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

[Qian Renxue: When you get here, we'll talk in private!]

[White Tu: Sister Bibi Dong, I'm sorry. Little Fox didn't mean to bring up your painful past.]

[White Tu: Sister's absolutely right. Little Fox was born among Soul Beasts and doesn't understand the rules of human society]

[Hu Liena: Teacher was just speaking her mind; she didn't mean any harm! Tu Tu, don't be sad!]

[White Tu: Exclusive red envelope for Bibi Dong]

[White Tu: Just a little something to make up for it. Please, Sister, don't be angry! @Bibi Dong]

[White Tu: Little Fox rolling around.jpg]

[Bibi Dong claimed White Tu's red envelope]

Bibi Dong accepted the red envelope with a cold laugh. She didn't believe a word that little green tea was saying. But as long as she started an experiment that didn't involve physical contact, even if something was wrong...

Bibi Dong's expression froze.

A little white orb of light appeared in front of her and instantly entered her body!

She hadn't even had time to react!

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

[White Tu: Your child calls me Daddy now. What should you call me? Little Fox standing with paws on hips.jpg]

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

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

[Bibi Dong: I'm going to kill you!!!]

[Bibi Dong: White Tu!! I'll skin you alive and drink your blood!]

[Bibi Dong: You bastard!]
