Soul Beast Forest Dweller, Douluo's Richest

"Alright, you little guy are quite likable. Our family happens to be short one guardian soul beast. When the time comes, come with me and live in the pond at my place. There will be no shortage of food for you," Kong Bo said. Of course, Kong Bo was also quite curious about the power of fortune on the Golden Hawksbill. Just what exactly was this power of fortune? Kong Bo was curious as well.

" So that's how it is," Di Tian said. "Kong Bo, our soul beast race is now willing to help you with all our strength. This cage looks like it was forged from ordinary iron, though the processing method is somewhat complicated. We should be able to make more of them. Our soul beast race does not only live in the Star Dou Great Forest. There are our kind in the ocean and the Extreme North Icefield as well. Just like us, they also have large quantities of heavenly treasures in their possession. Now that your barrier treasure can be exchanged for many things, I will make a trip on your behalf to see what treasures they have and bring them back for you."

Kong Bo had even given the soul beast race something capable of blocking countless Lightning Tribulations—at least five of them—so in Di Tian's eyes, Kong Bo was already one of their own. This Faraday Cage could not be used only by the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest. Di Tian also intended to give the soul beasts in other places a "lightning-avoidance treasure" so they could at least take a look, then bring them to the Star Dou Great Forest to trade with Kong Bo.

"Very well," Kong Bo nodded. "I will trouble Beast God senior to also inform my great-grandfather. I do not want him to worry, and this will put his mind at ease as well."

Di Tian then flew off. Di Tian's flight speed was still very fast. In less than half a month, powerful soul beasts from all regions had gathered in the Star Dou Great Forest. Their storage soul tools also contained all sorts of soul bones and heavenly treasures, and this was not even all they possessed. They would also tell Kong Bo about treasures within their territories, and if Kong Bo wanted any, they would go fetch them. Kong Bo truly had his horizons broadened.

At this moment, a beautiful woman dressed in a long crimson gown, with a head of charming black hair and a tall figure, bent down and looked at Kong Bo with her enchanting black eyes. "Kong Deming's great-grandson can create such fine things yet did not come to our Evil Demon Forest first. As the landlord of the Evil Demon Forest, it is only proper that I extend some hospitality."

This woman was the ruler of the Evil Demon Forest, the Evil Emperor, ranked second among the Ten Great Savage Beasts. She could be said to have a notorious reputation, but Kong Bo had never expected that the Evil Emperor's human form would actually be such a beautiful woman. Kong Bo had always welcomed beauty with open arms, so the Evil Emperor naturally made it onto Kong Bo's conquest list.

The Evil Emperor then began to negotiate. She had quite a bit of experience dealing with humans. "Little fellow, although Di Tian is powerful, he must still guard the Star Dou Great Forest no matter what. I am different. In your human eyes, both Di Tian and I are Limit Douluo-level experts. Di Tian cannot leave the Star Dou Great Forest, but I can. In that case, if you make a lightning-proof cage for This Seat, This Seat can serve as your bodyguard until you become a god."

The Evil Emperor was still very shrewd. She had already deduced that although Xu Tianran was an old Kong family grandson, Kong Deming could not possibly hover around Kong Bo all day. But the Evil Emperor could. The Evil Emperor figured that having a Limit Douluo serve as a bodyguard for a child like Kong Bo would surely seem like an enormous benefit in Kong Bo's eyes.

Moreover, serving as Kong Bo's bodyguard did not seem to cost the Evil Emperor anything. Soul beasts were considered a long-lived species, whereas humans were short-lived by comparison. Even if Kong Bo possessed extraordinary talent, he would only live two or three hundred years. The lifespan of a savage beast was measured in tens of thousands of years. A hundred years was far too short. And if Kong Bo became a god, then the Evil Emperor would profit even more. By serving Kong Bo diligently, she could become a divine beast in the future, could she not?

"Evil Emperor sister, do not try to fool me," Kong Bo said. "Right now you are the one seeking me out. The things in my hands are unique. I could also look for Demon Empress sister, who is likewise a Limit Douluo. Is the price you are offering a bit too low?"

"Hahahaha." At this moment, a mature black-haired woman beside them could not help but laugh upon hearing Kong Bo's words. She was the Demon Empress, wife of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. "Oh my, Evil Emperor, how can you treat a child capable of creating such a treasure as an ordinary child? Child, the treasures on land are ultimately limited, but the treasures in the sea are a different matter. Child, do you know that many of the various weapons used by that dog thief Sea God were made from deep-sea silver? No matter how much your humans can find, I can bring you even more! Moreover, both my daughter and I possess Titled Douluo strength. There is nothing worth lingering over in the sea anymore. From now on, we will follow you."

"Deep-sea silver is merely a mineral. It only enhances external objects. The things my sister and I have brought can truly and solidly improve your strength. Do you know what ten-thousand-year ice essence is? Your martial soul also contains a moon that requires ice-attribute energy, does it not?"

At this moment, a pleasant female voice rang out. Kong Bo followed the sound and looked over. Standing behind the Demon Empress were two beautiful girls who clearly shared a deep sisterly bond. The shorter one had a delicate and charming appearance, with ink-green long hair tied into twin ponytails. Her skin was as white as snow and ice. Around her, the air seemed to have condensed into ice crystals.

This shorter girl was naturally the Ice Empress. Kong Bo had only seen this character in novels before, but now he encountered her in the Star Dou Great Forest. The Ice Empress's voice was quite distinctive, somewhat reminiscent of Shirai Kuroko from the anime he had watched on Blue Star. That was right—when she said "sister," her demeanor was exactly like Shirai Kuroko's.

"Yes, Kong Bo. Is making this thing very difficult?" The taller girl beside the Ice Empress spoke with some urgency. "I can clearly sense that in another year, my exclusive seven-hundred-thousand-year Lightning Tribulation will arrive. Name your price. Whether you want me to do anything or desire soul bones and other treasures from the Extreme North, just give me one of these lightning-avoidance treasures. As long as you can help me, you will be my savior!"

This white-haired beauty, slightly taller than the Ice Empress, was the Snow Empress. She had a head of flawless snow-white long hair that cascaded down her back to her feet. Her sky-blue eyes were ethereal and transparent, as if they could see through everything in the world. A pure white long dress accentuated her noble temperament. Beneath the hem of her skirt, a pair of snow-white feet stepped upon the green grass, and against the grass, those beautiful feet appeared even more flawless and pure. Kong Bo even felt an impulse to bend down and taste them.

It seems that at this moment, the Snow Empress has not yet consumed the snow lotus to rebuild her cultivation. That makes things easier. With the Faraday Cage available, the Snow Empress can hide inside it and naturally pass through her seven-hundred-thousand-year Lightning Tribulation safely.

"Very well. No problem," Kong Bo said.

The core region of the entire Star Dou Great Forest was just like the Zhuhai Airshow Kong Bo had seen in his previous life. Each soul beast expert was like a wealthy tycoon with oil at home, offering prices Kong Bo could hardly imagine in exchange for Faraday Cages from his hands.

It seems that carrying out industrial upgrading on the Douluo Continent is also the most efficient way to make money, Kong Bo thought.
