Leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, Gu Yuena

Three-Eyed Golden Lion could no longer hold back. As a soul beast, the annotations she saw for the third reward of the Diary Copy differed from what human women saw. The various rewards described there held an immense allure for soul beasts like them.

Even though Three-Eyed Golden Lion was an auspicious beast, she absolutely could not resist the temptation those rewards offered!

Although she had not yet reached the hundred-thousand-year mark, as the Emperor Auspicious Beast favored by the Douluo Plane, Three-Eyed Golden Lion could already rebuild herself into a human without the restrictions that bound other soul beasts.

Besides, ever since the day she was born, she had remained in the Star Dou Great Forest. Though Di Tian and the other Ferocious Beasts had always described the human world as terrifying, she could not help but feel immensely curious about the outside world. Now, she had finally reached the point where she could no longer suppress her desire to experience it for herself.

"Don't worry, my lord. I know how important I am to the Star Dou Great Forest, but even those Ultimate Douluo among humans would never be able to detect my identity as a soul beast. I'll definitely be careful."

"And besides, maybe I can even lure Huo Yuhao, that Child of Destiny, into our Star Dou Great Forest? Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

Three-Eyed Golden Lion offered an explanation for herself, though she was not actually lying. As the Emperor Auspicious Beast blessed by fate, she truly was that special. As long as she did not expose herself, no one could possibly discover her true identity. As for luring Huo Yuhao to the Star Dou Great Forest—even she did not believe that nonsense!

After saying that, Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked expectantly at the Silver Dragon King, waiting for her lord's answer.

After remaining silent for quite a while, the Silver Dragon King finally nodded. But before Three-Eyed Golden Lion could rejoice, the Silver Dragon King spoke.

"I can agree to let you leave Star Dou, but for your safety, I will go with you. If you truly encounter mortal danger, the fate of the entire Star Dou Great Forest will suffer a devastating blow."

Three-Eyed Golden Lion:?

Three-Eyed Golden Lion slowly produced a question mark. It was not that she had a problem—it was that she felt the Silver Dragon King had a problem, and a huge one at that!

"Um, my lord, that won't be necessary, will it?"

The Silver Dragon King shook her head without hesitation.

"What do you mean, unnecessary? How is it unnecessary? Don't you know how important you are to Star Dou? The Ferocious Beasts can afford accidents, but you cannot! Since you insist on leaving Star Dou, then I can only keep watch over you myself."

Three-Eyed Golden Lion was dumbfounded. Staring wide-eyed at the righteous-looking Silver Dragon King before her, she could not help grumbling inwardly.

Don't think I don't know what you're thinking! You're obviously coveting the Diary Copy's rewards too, yet you're pretending it's all about protecting me. Even if I hadn't suggested leaving Star Dou, you definitely would have found a way to go to the Sun Moon Empire!

The Silver Dragon King had no idea that Three-Eyed Golden Lion was furiously roasting her in her mind. She merely summoned Di Tian and the other Ferocious Beasts to the shore of the Lake of Life and informed them that she intended to take Three-Eyed Golden Lion away from the Star Dou Great Forest for a time.

Di Tian and the other Ferocious Beasts were all horrified when they heard this. Forgetting the gap in their status, they immediately spoke up to stop her, hoping to make the Silver Dragon King abandon the idea.

Faced with their objections, the Silver Dragon King did not waver in the slightest. Instead, she said with utmost resolve.

"I have seen an opportunity to completely change the fate of our soul beasts. I have seen the possibility of humans no longer needing to slaughter soul beasts for Soul Rings and Soul Bones, and of soul beasts being able to grow faster with the help of humans. I am taking the Auspicious Beast away from Star Dou this time to make that possibility a reality."

"As the Soul Beast Co-Lord, this is the responsibility and duty I must fulfill!"

It had to be said that the Silver Dragon King's bearing and status, combined with those words about completely changing the fate of soul beasts, instantly stunned all the Ferocious Beasts. None of them could say another word to stop her.

Meanwhile, Three-Eyed Golden Lion lowered her head deeply and tried her utmost to think of painful things, lest she fail to hold back her laughter.

Her lord truly was her lord. She lied so smoothly. Only because Three-Eyed Golden Lion knew the truth could she see through it; otherwise, every beast there would likely have been fooled by the Silver Dragon King!

Talking about changing the fate of soul beasts being the responsibility and duty of the Soul Beast Co-Lord... Thinking of how Huo Yuhao had said that the Silver Dragon King was also a hopeless romantic, Three-Eyed Golden Lion found it even harder to suppress her laughter.

Since the Silver Dragon King had put it that way, Di Tian and the other Ferocious Beasts could only watch them leave. Their hearts were filled with anticipation for the future the Silver Dragon King had spoken of.

Not far after leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked at the Silver Dragon King, who had transformed into a human girl of twelve or thirteen, swallowed, and said with a silly grin.

"Slurp. My lord, you're so beautiful after transforming."

The Silver Dragon King's long silver hair flowed all the way down her back. Not only was it soft and smooth, but it also possessed a texture like silver crystal.

At that moment, the Silver Dragon King possessed a beauty beyond the reach of words. No description could do justice to her peerless features. Her fair skin was slightly pale, and her eyes were violet. Even dressed in the plainest clothes, she was still breathtakingly captivating.

Though the Silver Dragon King was secretly pleased by the compliment, she did not show it. She merely said indifferently, "This is my true appearance after transforming. There is nothing surprising about it."

When the Silver Dragon King did not receive any further praise from Three-Eyed Golden Lion, she turned to look at her and discovered that the other girl was staring at her flowing, silky hair.

After a brief moment of surprise, the Silver Dragon King seemed to suddenly realize something. She hurriedly looked at her and said, "Transform honestly according to your original appearance. Don't do anything unnecessary!"

Since the Silver Dragon King had seen through her thoughts, Three-Eyed Golden Lion stopped hiding them and muttered indignantly, "Why? Why can you transform with white hair, but I can't?"

In Three-Eyed Golden Lion's eyes, the Silver Dragon King had definitely chosen to have white hair after transforming into a human because Huo Yuhao had written in the Diary that he liked white-haired girls. Why could the Silver Dragon King do that, but not her?

As the Emperor Auspicious Beast, Three-Eyed Golden Lion could not only transform ahead of time, but could even decide her transformed appearance entirely according to her own wishes. Knowing that white hair gave her an advantage, would giving up the chance to transform with white hair not mean there was something wrong with her head?

After all, to receive the Diary Copy's rewards, she had to get Huo Yuhao to mention her name in the Diary more than ten times. If there was an easier way, why would she let it pass her by?

The Silver Dragon King glared at Three-Eyed Golden Lion and said flatly, "I told you, my transformed appearance was not influenced by anything. This is simply how I was supposed to look. As the Emperor Auspicious Beast, you do not need to do anything superfluous. With your natural appearance alone, no one can compare to you."

Three-Eyed Golden Lion thought it over carefully and found that it really made sense. Her transformed form needed no embellishment whatsoever to crush every human woman. That was one of the benefits of being blessed by fate.

Having made up her mind, Three-Eyed Golden Lion no longer regarded the Silver Dragon King with hostility. Instead, she looked at her and asked, "By the way, my lord, we don't have proper identities. How are we supposed to join the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy?"

Still maintaining her cool and detached demeanor, the Silver Dragon King replied calmly, "You need not worry about such a trivial matter. We only need to find someone with a bit of standing in the Sun Moon Empire and have them write a letter of recommendation."

As for how to make that person write the recommendation letter, was that difficult for the Soul Beast Co-Lord?

With her concern resolved, Three-Eyed Golden Lion immediately became cheerful again. She was going to enjoy her final days before transforming, because she would not have another chance afterward.

Watching the Three-Eyed Golden Lion bounce around, the Silver Dragon King spoke slowly.

"From now on, don't call me Your Majesty anymore. Call me Gu Yuena."

"What about me? What about me?"

"Come up with a name yourself. Do you really need my help with something like that?"
