Rejecting Love Brain Starts from Childhood

The Ferocious Beasts hiding in the shadows no longer concealed their auras. One after another, they came to Bi Ji's side, each wearing a different expression as they stared at the little girl sprawled on the ground, sleeping soundly without a care for her appearance.

"Is she the little thing that caused unrest among all the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest? Judging from her aura alone, she doesn't seem to be a pure soul beast."

Zi Ji, possessed of great intelligence, instinctively stood beside Di Tian. Even from more than ten meters away, she immediately caught the unusual scent emanating from Lin Wan'er. Parting her red lips, she voiced her thoughts.

After all, even the Three-Eyed Golden Lion—the only ancient Auspicious Beast remaining on the Douluo Continent, privately honored as an Emperor by certain old fossils—emanated the unique aura of the soul beast race.

Yet the scent coming from the green-haired little girl, who stood less than half a meter tall, smelled neither like a soul beast nor like a human.

That made it difficult to determine whether she was truly a creature born of heaven and earth. What if she was some mutated creation fused together by a God King in the God Realm using some unknown substance, specifically meant to target the soul beast race? That would be troublesome.

As if sensing the doubts in the hearts of the Ferocious Beasts, Di Tian wore a cold expression and said solemnly, "This is not the God Realm! They will not be allowed to interfere so brazenly with the fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest!"

After a pause, Di Tian swept his nearly stern gaze over every compatriot who had guarded the Star Dou Great Forest for many years. Word by word, he said, "The soul beast race cannot forever be suppressed by weak humans, cowering within the forest! She is a miraculous creation capable of healing the Co-Lord's wounds, even the divine soul, and accelerating our return to the God Realm. So, certain things..."

The Ferocious Beasts present were all old fossils who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years. Naturally, they understood Di Tian's unspoken meaning.

Bi Ji nodded at the side, her noble emerald-like eyes reflecting Lin Wan'er's tiny figure. "I trust my instincts. Her body and soul radiate an indescribable purity. She cannot be a weapon created by some gods as part of a scheme to rule the lower realm and exterminate the soul beast race."

With the peerless healing support of the entire continent—the one everyone considered number one, with no one daring to claim second—having spoken...

The Ferocious Beasts standing by as mere background nodded. They accepted the noble status bestowed upon Lin Wan'er by the Co-Lord and were willing to treat her with the same attitude they used toward an Auspicious Beast.

Sleeping amid the Blue Silver Grass, Lin Wan'er had no idea that, during her slumber, a group of Ferocious Beasts had openly granted her a status equal to that of an Auspicious Beast.

"Alright, everyone."

Bi Ji clapped her hands to draw everyone's attention. Considering that Lin Wan'er was still young and looked very much like a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that had only just taken human form...

The ever-thoughtful chieftain of the Emerald Swan clan posed a difficult question to the Ferocious Beasts present.

"Who will raise her?"

"Raise her? Can't we just leave her by the lake and let her grow up however she likes? She can learn to hunt with the Auspicious Beast too, get to know each other, and keep each other company."

Bear King said this dismissively. As the quintessential burly brute and the embodiment of dull-witted honesty, his method of raising cubs amounted to sticks and meat. As long as they did not die, it was fine.

After hearing Bear King, Scarlet King's eye twitched. Irritated, he said, "Do you think she's one of your bear cubs? All thick hide and tough flesh, as if they're afraid their resistance to beatings isn't strong enough."

Seeing this, Bi Ji's voice carried a trace of displeasure. She glared at Bear King, who did not think he had said anything wrong, and added:

"What I mean is that someone needs to help her become familiar with every inch of the Star Dou Great Forest, get to know every sane soul beast that has lived for over ten thousand years, understand the distribution and habits of every race, and instill normal ways of thinking in her—not overly extreme ideas."

"After all, she is different from the Auspicious Beast. From the moment she was born, she looked like a child from the human world. Even I cannot see through the healing power contained within her body, and her aura is also extremely similar to that of the child born from the Blue Silver Emperor and a soul master back then..."

With Bi Ji putting it that way, the Ferocious Beasts who had not understood immediately came to a realization.

As expected of Bi Ji. She wanted the Ferocious Beasts to cultivate the newborn's sense of belonging toward the Star Dou Great Forest and see whether they could nurture a god belonging to the soul beast race.

Di Tian, who had been observing every Ferocious Beast's expression, heard that Bi Ji had considered raising Lin Wan'er to become a god of the soul beast race. The corners of his lips lifted slightly, and his expression was no longer as cold as before.

Because Bi Ji was telling the truth. At present, the soul beast race did not lack combat power.

Looking across the land, whether it was the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest, the soul beasts of the Land of Extreme North that had vaguely become three great leaders, or that immortal little fish in the deep sea, any one of them could slaughter a nation if placed in the human world.

Yet even so, they still could not escape having their value exploited by those hypocritical gods of the God Realm. Nor could they prevent their people from being hunted by human soul masters and reduced to soul rings.

The root of the problem was that the soul beast race had always preferred to act on instinct. Since ancient times, they had even produced far too many Love Brains, each more extreme than the last.

First, the Blue Silver Emperor born from the Blue Silver Forest had completely disregarded the lives of the soul beasts, choosing to elope with a human and abandon the people of her homeland! Then there was the Soft Bone Rabbit, who did not know her place and had completely forgotten that her mother had been killed by humans! That iconic line—"Come back to life, my lover!"—was enough to make Di Tian unable to endure it any longer, nearly angering him to death.

If they had not betrayed the soul beast race, betrayed the Co-Lord, and forgotten the mission and pride of the soul beast race, how could they have ended up huddling within the tiny Star Dou Great Forest?!

The moment he thought of that war, which had filled him with endless regret, the pressure Di Tian unconsciously released startled the people nearby who had been discussing custody.

Not only that, but even the soul beasts within a hundred li trembled in fear. Some of the weaker ones even perished on the spot, their bodies becoming food for the soul beasts watching hungrily nearby.

"Di Tian!"

As soon as the words fell, Bi Ji turned into a streak of light and arrived at Di Tian's side. Nervously, she poured Soul Power into him, attempting to use her healing power to treat this leader who always stood at the forefront for all soul beasts and bore immense responsibility.

"I'm fine."

Taking a deep breath and steadying his aura, Di Tian's voice was somewhat hoarse. He glanced at Lin Wan'er, who was still asleep, and said decisively, "We will raise her together. Bi Ji and Zi Ji will handle her food, clothing, shelter, and daily needs. Scarlet King will take her around the Star Dou Great Forest. Ten Thousand Demons King will familiarize her with the human world. And I will train her Soul Power and strength."

The Ferocious Beasts called upon exchanged glances. They were quite satisfied with their assigned duties and, without hesitation, turned to Di Tian and said, "We accept!"

"What about me?"

Bear King, who had perked up his ears waiting for an assignment, saw that Di Tian had fallen silent and anxiously shouted, "Why ain't there anything for me? Di Tian, you're discriminating!"

Was it not just that he had been foolish in the past and lusted after Bi Ji, Zi Ji, and the others? Di Tian had held a grudge for so many years—how had he still not forgotten about it?! "You..."

Di Tian faltered. He truly was not deliberately targeting Bear King. It was simply that Bear King, as the chieftain of the Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear clan, really was not suited to raising a child.

Didn't the Auspicious Beast usually refuse to go near him?

The moment she saw him approach, her fur would stand on end and she would leave. She would hide to the side and groom herself for ages, terrified that Bear King's body odor would cling to her because he never liked bathing.
