Piles of silver Faraday cages rose like mountains, and the high-level soul beasts sang praises to the heavens. With these devices, they no longer had to fear the Lightning Tribulation. The powerful beasts of this period could be said to walk with a spring in their step.
However, the only one unhappy was the Three-Eyed Golden Ni. In the past, the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest had pampered her, as her power of destiny could significantly increase the difficulty of these beasts' tribulations while boosting the overall development and ecological prosperity of the Star Dou Great Forest. The way the soul beasts looked at the Three-Eyed Golden Ni was the same way Sword and Bone Douluo had looked at Ning Rongrong, or Dugu Bo at Dugu Yan, ten thousand years ago.
Now that Kong Bo had arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest, bringing with him Faraday cages that could directly block the Lightning Tribulation, the attention of these soul beasts had been entirely diverted. The Three-Eyed Golden Ni sat in her lair, watching with dissatisfaction as Kong Bo haggled with the beasts outside. These powerful soul beasts used to come to the Star Dou Great Forest specifically to see her, but now, their focus was entirely on Kong Bo.
At this moment, the Three-Eyed Golden Ni thought to herself: Who is the master of the Star Dou Great Forest, you or me?
"Hmph, to be able to bring out such a good thing, he must have ulterior motives!" the Three-Eyed Golden Ni said indignantly. "Kong Bo definitely doesn't have good intentions. I must go tell Sister Gu Yuena about this."
The Three-Eyed Golden Ni emerged from her lair and made her way to Gu Yuena's. At that moment, Gu Yuena was resting on a stone bed, and the Three-Eyed Golden Ni scurried inside. Gu Yuena looked up to see a giant Golden British Shorthair running in.
"Three-Eyed Golden Ni, what brings you to see your sister?" Gu Yuena asked.
"Sister Silver Dragon King, that human Kong Bo just walked into the core area of our Star Dou Great Forest like that. What if he has ill intentions?" the Three-Eyed Golden Ni said.
"Oh, ill intentions?" Gu Yuena looked at the Three-Eyed Golden Ni. "I have never heard of saving someone's life being considered an act of ill intent."
"He... he must be waiting for Sister Bi Ji and the others to pass their Lightning Tribulation and reach the next hundred-thousand-year threshold so he can find a way to seize their soul rings," the Three-Eyed Golden Ni said, though her tone grew increasingly lacking in conviction.
Hearing this, Gu Yuena smiled. "Three-Eyed Golden Ni, you saw his Three Moons Martial Soul, didn't you? He can directly imprint soul rings; why would he need the soul rings of your Sister Bi Ji and the others?"
"In any case, he has bad intentions," the Three-Eyed Golden Ni insisted. "Sister, I can read minds. As long as I establish a mental connection with him, I will surely be able to see what he is thinking. I've heard stories about humans from Uncle Di Tian; a child that small couldn't possibly be as cunning as he is. I'm going to go test his true colors!"
"Very well, Three-Eyed Golden Ni." Gu Yuena was also unsure of Kong Bo's background, as he truly didn't resemble the human children she knew; in her eyes, Kong Bo was excessively clever. "Are you certain you won't harm him?"
"Of course," the Three-Eyed Golden Ni said. "I will definitely be able to see what he is thinking."
"Then go ahead," Gu Yuena said. "I will have him come here."
At that moment, Di Tian received a telepathic message from Gu Yuena. He told Kong Bo that the Silver Dragon King wanted to see him and that he should go alone. Kong Bo didn't overthink it and arrived at Gu Yuena's lair. There, he saw Gu Yuena and the Three-Eyed Golden Ni, who was lying in the Dragon Nest, watching him with great wariness.
"Your Highness Silver Dragon King, did you have something to discuss with me?" Kong Bo asked.
"It's not Sister Gu Yuena who wants you, it's me," the Three-Eyed Golden Ni said. "Tell me... tell me everything about yourself."
Without another word, the Three-Eyed Golden Ni pressed her forehead against Kong Bo's, instantly connecting their mental powers. Kong Bo felt himself fall directly into his own mind.
"You Golden British Shorthair, your talent is truly formidable!" Kong Bo shouted. "When the Golden Hawksbill offered me his sacrifice, I still had to ask if he agreed, but you—you just connected to me directly?"
"This Lady is merely curious," the Three-Eyed Golden Ni said as she stepped into Kong Bo's mind. "I have never heard of a human child your age possessing such intellect. I'm just curious: as a human, what is your true motive for giving such treasures to my soul beast clan?"
The Three-Eyed Golden Ni began to flip through Kong Bo's memories. Fortunately, Electrolux had hidden his tracks, and the library of Dottore's memories in Kong Bo's mind was not a product of this world, so the Three-Eyed Golden Ni could not see it. She could only browse the memories of Kong Bo's arrival in the Douluo world and his inner thoughts.
As she flipped through, she saw Kong Bo's various conjectures about his Three Moons Martial Soul and his studies of the Sun Moon Empire's history. "You fellow, how can you live such a boring life?" the Three-Eyed Golden Ni remarked while browsing. "Isn't the place where you humans live supposed to be interesting?"
"I am a child, so naturally, I must study at home," Kong Bo said. "Just as a soul beast cub wouldn't stray too far from its nest..."
"So this is the purpose of your arrival, then?" At that moment, the Three-Eyed Golden Ni discovered a pink orb of light. Seeing her uncover this memory, Kong Bo sat down on the ground. Inside this sphere were Kong Bo's thoughts regarding Zi Ji, Gu Yuena, the Ice and Snow Emperors, the Evil Emperor, and other beautiful soul beasts. Kong Bo's attitude toward romance was completely different from Dottore's; Dottore believed he had no emotions, but Kong Bo advocated for "collecting them all." Otherwise, wouldn't his trip to the Douluo Continent be in vain?
"Sister Zi Ji, the Ice and Snow Emperors, the Evil Emperor... you human, your lecherous heart is truly not small," the Three-Eyed Golden Ni commented as she watched Kong Bo's fantasies about his future life with the soul beast maidens. "Wow, there's even the Demon Empress and Lan Fozi in here? Tsk tsk tsk, you are quite bold—there's even Sister Gu Yuena!" Gu Yuena was a great beauty; could Kong Bo not think of her? Of course not.
"And there is one more sentence in this pink sphere: Sigh, I really wonder what the Three-Eyed Golden Ni looks like after transforming. If possible, I really hope she transforms into a great beauty."
"Fine, fine, you're something else!" The Three-Eyed Golden Ni was so angry she laughed. She had heard Di Tian describe humans; when humans thought of soul beasts, they usually plotted for their soul rings or bones. But Kong Bo? He just wanted to take Zi Ji and the others as his wives.
The Three-Eyed Golden Ni then asked a single question: "Kong Bo, you wouldn't want these things to be known by Sister Gu Yuena, would you?"
