The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's Confession

Beside the Lake of Life, lush grass carpeted the shore. Countless bright flowers vied to bloom, filling the air with a rich breath of life.

A black-and-white panda over three meters tall leaned against a towering tree, eyes closed as it rested.

Chu Feng had been here for seven days. After getting on good terms with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, he had learned roughly what period he was in.

Apparently, just half a month ago, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had suddenly broken through to become a million-year Soul Beast. It had used the aura of its breakthrough to escape, and now all the Soul Beasts in Star Dou Great Forest were searching for it.

Based on Chu Feng's memories, the great fat worm, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, was either still in hiding or had already gone to Shrek Academy with Huo Yuhao.

Now that he knew this, he naturally planned to leave Star Dou Great Forest and head for the human world.

If Tang San were still keeping an eye on Douluo Continent, he wouldn't dare make a move. But now that damn Tang San could no longer pull any strings, it was his turn to do whatever he wanted.

The main thing was, everyone in this world was incredibly simple-minded...

Especially the women. Every last one was a love-struck fool, simple as could be.

With such a good opportunity, naturally he was going to build himself a huge harem.

He'd win them all. Every last one!

"Rustle, rustle~"

Just then, Chu Feng heard a faint rustling behind him.

He turned around and saw the Three-Eyed Golden Lion trotting toward him through the thick flowerbeds, looking pleased with itself as it carried a white monkey in its mouth.

"Chu Feng! Chu Feng! I caught another White-Skinned Spirit Monkey~"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion proudly brought the monkey, which was barely still breathing, over to Chu Feng. Then, with a swift swipe of its claw, it cracked open the White-Skinned Spirit Monkey's skull, exposing its white brain streaked with blood.

"Chu Feng~ This White-Skinned Spirit Monkey's brain is delicious. Hurry and try some~"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion proudly offered him the monkey brain, staring up at him with eager eyes. It was every bit the lovesick puppy.

Although the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was the Auspicious Beast, it still obeyed the law of the food chain. Only powerful Soul Beasts were worthy of being its friends. The rest were its food.

"I can find food for myself. When you feed me like this, it makes me look like I can't fend for myself..."

Chu Feng's mouth twitched. He felt helpless.

He hadn't expected the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to treat him this way. It was most likely due to the bonuses from his talent, charm, and luck.

With all those buffs, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion seemed to have fallen for him completely in just seven days. It had lost all the dignity of an Emperor Auspicious Beast. Every day, it brought him all kinds of tasty food, then stayed glued to his side, asking him to tell stories about the human world to lull it to sleep...

Maybe that was just what females in love were like...

When the Three-Eyed Golden Lion—or Wang Qiu'er, as she was also known—appeared in the original story, she had been so domineering, so cool and alluring that men and women alike fell for her. But after meeting Huo Gua, she had changed completely, growing much gentler. Pretty much like she was now.

But that was because Tang San had split off part of Wang Dong's soul and implanted it in the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. This Three-Eyed Golden Lion hadn't been tampered with by Tang San yet. Her intelligence was on the low side, and she acted more on the instincts of a Soul Beast...

Still, Chu Feng knew he had a human soul. Even if he really did fall for her, it would be the transformed Wang Qiu'er he liked, not this massive golden-furred beast over three meters tall... To him, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was no different from a pet he'd had in his past life.

Even so, he took the monkey brain and wolfed it down in one bite.

"Gulp~"

As the monkey brain slid into his stomach, an immense surge of mental energy flooded into Chu Feng's mind, leaving him feeling incredibly refreshed.

It was obvious at a glance that the White-Skinned Spirit Monkey was a mental-type Soul Beast, and it was probably over ten thousand years old. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion never attacked humans, because its favorite food was the brains of mental-type Soul Beasts. And now, it had given Chu Feng its favorite food. The meaning was obvious.

"How is it? Is it good?"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion leaned closer and gazed at Chu Feng anxiously, looking a little nervous.

Her older sister Bi Ji had told her that to win over a Soul Beast, she first had to win over its stomach. She had fed Chu Feng so many times, but hadn't seen any results, and it had left her feeling a little frustrated...

"Mm. It's good."

But contrary to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's expectations, after eating the monkey brain, Chu Feng actually looked pleased.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion really did have good taste. Everything she brought him was top quality. This stuff didn't taste all that great, but its effects were excellent.

"Ah!"

"Really?!"

Hearing this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion lit up with delight and started dancing around. She rubbed her enormous head against Chu Feng over and over, then stretched out her tongue to lick his fur, acting incredibly affectionate.

"Chu Feng finally likes the food I bring him. Waaaah..." The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was so moved she could almost cry. After all her efforts these past few days, she had finally gotten somewhere!

"Hahaha~ All right, all right~ Don't mess around~"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's licking tickled Chu Feng, so he quickly reached out a paw to calm her down. Then he asked with a smile, "Why are you so nice to me? You bring me food every day."

"Huh?" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was caught off guard by Chu Feng's question. She immediately stopped licking him, and a guilty look appeared in her eyes. She didn't dare meet his gaze, and nervously tapped her claws together as she stammered, "Because... because you're one of my kind... I finally met another Auspicious Beast with blood like mine... Of course I should treat you a little better..."

After she finished speaking, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion gazed at Chu Feng, her face full of bashfulness.

Luckily, her fur was golden. Otherwise, everyone could have seen her skin turning bright red by the second. Her heart was pounding wildly, too.

She didn't know what this feeling was. Every Soul Beast in Star Dou Great Forest was like a subject to her, unimportant and easily dismissed. Even Di Tian and the other Ferocious Beasts were merely ordinary friends to her.

But only when she was facing Chu Feng did she feel this nervous—and yet she couldn't help wanting to be close to him...

"Oh, so that's how it is~" Chu Feng nodded as if he understood, then lay down with his hands behind his head and gazed up at the sky, lost in thought.

"Yup~ That's right~"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion nodded again and again, silently letting out a huge sigh of relief. The feeling was strange, but she didn't dare say it aloud. Her heart was full of uncertainty... She'd heard that among humans, this feeling was called a "secret crush."

Seeing Chu Feng lost in thought, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion slowly lowered herself to the ground and quietly nestled her head beside him. She breathed in the faint scent of his body, and only then did she look satisfied.

Chu Feng didn't stop her.

After a long while, he finally spoke. "In a few days, I'll probably have to leave Star Dou Great Forest..."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion had been lying in Chu Feng's arms, looking perfectly content. When she heard him say that, her massive body jolted. She looked at him, confusion and shock filling her eyes.

"Why?"

"Don't you like it here?"

"Or... have I not treated you well enough..."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion slowly raised her head to look at Chu Feng. Her golden eyes glimmered with tears, as if she might burst into tears at any moment. The whole beast looked utterly miserable. She was the sort who wouldn't cheer up without three days and three nights of comforting.

"Don't overthink it..." Chu Feng gently shook his head. "I just want to see the human world."

After all, he had a human soul. He had only come here to figure out what period he was in.

As for the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and the Silver Dragon King beneath the Lake of Life, it was too early for them to emerge at this point in time. He could come back and subdue them once he was stronger.

Of course, there were also Ice Empress in the Far North and Snow Empress, who was sealed away. They were both targets for later.

He wouldn't let that idiot Huo Yuhao torment Snow Empress and Ice Empress again.

In the original story, Snow Empress and Ice Empress trusted Huo Yuhao so much, yet Huo Yuhao took them along on his reckless death-defying escapades. Especially that time at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well—without Wang Qiu'er, Ice Empress would probably have been wiped out along with Huo Yuhao.

The great fat worm and the unlucky Electrolux could die for all he cared, but Ice Empress and Snow Empress couldn't be allowed to get hurt.

He had to give Huo Gua a good beating before he grew stronger. Otherwise, that idiot would really start thinking he couldn't die.
