Still Being Threatened After Becoming Ferocious Beasts? The Three-Eyed Golden Lion Appears!

"Wonderful! Da Ming and Er Ming did it!"

"I can barely recognize them now."

Seeing Da Ming and Er Ming successfully survive the heavenly tribulation, their bodies growing so enormous and even their appearances fundamentally changing, Xiao Wu was thrilled and even happier for them.

"Yes!"

Ji Yang was delighted as well.

At that moment, he was more curious about how strong Da Ming and Er Ming had become, and what rank of Super Douluo they could match.

"We've become ferocious beasts!"

If Xiao Wu and Ji Yang were already this delighted, there was no need to mention Da Ming and Er Ming, the two who had actually achieved it.

One soared into the air like an ascending dragon and circled the skies, while the other charged back and forth across the ground, venting their joy.

Once they had let off enough steam, they prepared to return to Ji Yang and Xiao Wu.

"Sister Xiao Wu... hm?"

Before Da Ming and Er Ming could actually do so, something unexpected happened.

A pulse of spiritual power appeared before them, turning into words that rang through their minds. "I'll send the Auspicious Beast out shortly. Take good care of her for me. This will benefit you, and there will be other rewards afterward! But if anything happens to her, I'll tear you to pieces, even if you've become ferocious beasts too!"

At that familiar voice, both Da Ming and Er Ming's expressions changed, becoming rather grim.

The voice belonged to the ferocious beast who had previously ordered them to guard the Lake of Life.

They had already become ferocious beasts, yet they were still being ordered around like this. It left them somewhat indignant and frustrated.

However, through that terrifying pulse of spiritual power, they could clearly sense how frightening the other party was.

And the enormous gulf in strength between him and their newly ascended selves.

It was the vast gap between a Super Douluo and a Limit Douluo, as distant as heaven and earth, far greater even than the difference between their current selves and when they had been hundred-thousand-year soul beasts.

They had no choice but to continue obeying meekly.

Fortunately, this particular order came as a pleasant surprise.

This time, they only needed to act as babysitters, and the one they would be caring for and protecting was none other than the Auspicious Beast.

Although Da Ming and Er Ming had not previously known of the Auspicious Beast's birth or existence, they had heard rumors about her.

They had never imagined that an Auspicious Beast had quietly been born on the Douluo Continent, and in their very own Star Dou Great Forest at that.

With the help of the Auspicious Beast's fortune and abilities, along with the pills Ji Yang provided, becoming three-hundred-thousand-year ferocious beasts would undoubtedly be extremely easy for them.

As for the other benefits that ferocious beast had mentioned, they subconsciously brushed them aside.

With these thoughts in mind, Da Ming and Er Ming took a deep breath and continued toward Ji Yang and Xiao Wu.

"Da Ming, Er Ming, what's wrong? You successfully survived the tribulation, so why do you suddenly look unhappy again?"

Xiao Wu noticed the change in Da Ming and Er Ming's expressions.

They had both been dancing with joy just moments ago. Why had they suddenly become like this?

"Did you receive another order from those ferocious beasts?"

Ji Yang narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

With his Spirit Abyss Realm spiritual power, comparable to that of a Limit Douluo, he had naturally noticed the disturbance.

While Da Ming and Er Ming were dancing with joy, a formidable surge of spiritual power had emerged from a hidden space deep within the Lake of Life and headed toward them.

However, he could not discern exactly what that spiritual power had said to Da Ming and Er Ming.

That was most likely a pulse of Di Tian's spiritual power, and Ji Yang's current spiritual power was probably considerably inferior to his.

"Yes. He told us to take good care of the Auspicious Beast. They'll send her out in a moment!"

Da Ming nodded.

He knew Ji Yang's spiritual power was already extraordinary, so he was not surprised that Ji Yang had noticed something.

"The Auspicious Beast?!"

Ji Yang and Xiao Wu exclaimed in surprise together.

The difference was that Ji Yang was surprised Di Tian and the others would release this soul beast, who had only been born a few years ago at this point, from the depths of the Lake of Life and entrust her to Da Ming and Er Ming.

Xiao Wu, meanwhile, was more astonished by the Auspicious Beast herself.

Previously, she had thought such a being existed only in rumors or legends. Now she had actually become real?

"Yes!"

Da Ming nodded again.

"She's here!"

Just then, Er Ming suddenly pointed toward the Lake of Life.

They then saw a soul beast appear before them, over a meter long and five feet tall at the shoulder, her entire body covered in fine golden scales and brilliant golden fur like translucent crystal. She resembled a lion, but her four paws were like a dragon's claws, each treading upon a cluster of golden flames.

Her eyes were golden, and a third, vertical eye grew in the center of her forehead, its eerie crimson pupil making her look both uncanny and somewhat sacred.

This was the Emperor Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

"So this is the Auspicious Beast? This is what she looks like?"

Xiao Wu clicked her tongue in wonder.

The little creature before her was simply adorable.

And beyond her cuteness, the fortune she possessed also left Xiao Wu rather enthralled.

Even though Xiao Wu had already undergone Human Form Transformation, the soul beast essence that remained within her seemed to stir in the Auspicious Beast's presence, filled with delight.

Had this soul beast appeared before her Human Form Transformation, she might not have chosen to transform at all. She could have tried challenging the two-hundred-thousand-year heavenly tribulation under the Auspicious Beast's protection and blessing.

She looks a little like a blend of the anime and comic art styles!

Ji Yang mused.

Seeing this soul beast in person for the first time left him somewhat surprised.

"This is our first time seeing her too!"

Da Ming and Er Ming also looked at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion with wonder.

As soul beasts, they could sense even more clearly the power of fortune enveloping them from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

Under the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's innate "power of the Auspicious Beast," they felt their two-hundred-thousand-year cultivation rapidly stabilize.

Moreover, their cultivation had even begun to grow slowly upon that foundation.

Its rate was comparable to two or three times their former cultivation speed.

That was rather astonishing!

Was this the soul beast power spoken of in the rumors?

At that moment, they even felt somewhat grateful to the ferocious beast who had dumped this "burden" on them.

"Are you two the soul beasts who'll be looking after me from now on?"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked at Da Ming and Er Ming, transmitting her voice through spiritual power.

Because she was still young and had insufficient years of cultivation, she could not yet speak human language aloud.

However, its powerful Spiritual Power allowed it to communicate through spiritual transmissions.

As for Ji Yang, this "utterly ordinary" human, and Xiao Wu, someone "foolish" enough to undergo Human Form Transformation, it ignored them outright.

"Yes!"

Da Ming and Er Ming nodded in affirmation, their expressions betraying how much her cuteness had charmed them.

They had to admit, the Auspicious Beast's babyish little voice really did make one want to dote on her!

"Then you'd better take good care of me, and you have to do everything I say too. Otherwise, I'll tell Uncle Di Tian and have him teach you a proper lesson!"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion spoke in a "threatening" tone.

Yet her babyish voice did not sound threatening at all. It sounded more like she was wheedling or throwing a little tantrum.

"Heh, heh... all right-"

Da Ming and Er Ming chuckled dryly.

So this Auspicious Beast was actually a little hellion!

Her little temper reminded them of Sister Xiao Wu back when she had Aunt Rou behind her.

Sister Xiao Wu had also enjoyed "borrowing the tiger's might like a fox" back then.

"Huh? What's that smell? It smells so good!"

Before the Three-Eyed Golden Lion could continue making "threats," an unusual fragrance suddenly drifted over and filled her nostrils.

Following the source of the fragrance, she quickly fixed her attention on a certain person.
