"Human, hurry and summon me over, I want to go out and play!"
A familiar girlish voice rang out, and Su Miu paused for a moment, not expecting that after two months of silence, his lucky cat would finally respond to him.
"Open!"
Su Miu raised his hand, and in a mere two seconds, a Dimensional Summon magic was instantly cast.
"Auspicious Beast, tomorrow I'll take you to play in the Monster Beast Forest, if you appear in the human world in your beast form it'll..."
He started trying to negotiate with her, preparing to persuade her to go play in the Monster Beast Forest instead; after all, if she played in a human city and was wiped out as a Demon Beast, that wouldn't be good.
Before he could finish speaking, however, he saw a small foot wearing a brown high-topped boot and wrapped in black silk stockings step out from within, making a sound as it touched the ground.
Seeing this, he was instantly at a loss for words, staring blankly as a girl of about fifteen or six with a head of blonde hair, red eyes, and a brown-gold battle skirt walked out.
"I've taken human form, aren't you surprised, wasn't that unexpected?"
The blonde girl looked at his shocked expression and immediately showed a triumphant look. He had said that her beast form couldn't be played with in the city, so couldn't she just take human form?
As expected of me! This Auspicious Beast is truly clever!
"I... why have you taken human form? Can you still change back?"
Su Miu was at a loss for words, so all this time ignoring him for the past two months was because she was undergoing human transformation?
And yet... after transforming into a human shape, does her formidable combat power as a Soul Beast still remain? If it's gone, that's going to be troublesome.
"Didn't you say that as long as I solved this problem you'd take me out to play? Also... human clothes are so uncomfortable, wearing them is such a hassle, if Aunt Bi Ji hadn't helped me, I wouldn't even have been able to put them on."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion tugged at her clothes, clearly very unaccustomed to human attire, but Aunt Bi Ji had said that wearing clothes was a must, and that it was very important in the human world.
Not wearing clothes was just like having the fur on her body shaved clean; clothes should be about the same as the fur on a Soul Beast's body.
"As for changing back... it seems possible. In this world, I seem to have the ability to freely switch between my Soul Beast and human forms, probably because of that contract."
The little Auspicious Beast spoke, her mind stirring, and her original human shape instantly transformed into a one-and-a-half-meter-long small golden lion, only to change right back the very next second.
She transformed once more into a tall, blonde girl with a curvaceous figure and an exquisitely beautiful face.
"It's good that you can change back... next time at least give a heads-up, you scared the life out of me..."
Su Miu let out a breath; when she had transformed back then, it really had given him a scare, but the dual-form thing seemed pretty good too.
"If I told you in advance, how could I have given you a fright? Alright, you promised to take me out to play! If you're lying to me, I'll use the humiliation method of our Soul Beast Clan to humiliate you severely."
The blonde girl was clearly looking forward to things in the human world and urged him with a sense of impatience.
"Alright, alright. Oh right, just call me by my name in the future. My name is Su Miu, don't keep calling me human human, if others hear they'll definitely treat you as a Demon Beast. By the way, how do you Soul Beasts humiliate each other?"
Su Miu came back to his senses and agreed to her request, but still put forward his own condition-to change how she addressed him-and then expressed his curiosity about the Soul Beast Clan's method of humiliation.
"Su Miu? Fine, I've remembered it. As for the humiliation method... it's to knock you down and then use my foot to step on your face."
"In our Soul Beast Clan, the victor stepping on the body of the vanquished is the way to proclaim victory; while stepping on the cheek of the vanquished is the victor's humiliation of the loser."
Seeing him curious about the Soul Beast Clan's method of humiliation, she explained it in meticulous detail.
Hearing this, Su Miu looked with a strange expression at the blonde girl's small foot clad in a brown high-topped boot, thinking to himself: Are you sure this is humiliation and not a reward? Please take off your shoes and humiliate me like this!
"Is that so... Ahem, right, what should I call you from now on? I can't just keep shouting Auspicious Beast Auspicious Beast, can I? That's way too weird."
"Ah? This..."
Hearing this, the blonde girl in front of him blankly scratched her head, clearly having failed to realize this problem.
"It's a name, you see. For example, your uncles and aunts-the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian, your Uncle Di Tian's name is Di Tian. And Bi Ji, Zi JI, Xiong Jun, Scarlet King, and Myriad Demon King are all their names."
"A name... I don't seem to have one... This is such a hassle... How about you pick a name for me?"
The blonde girl racked her brain for a long time without coming up with a good name, and ultimately tossed the matter of naming her straight to Su Miu.
"Alright, since Di Tian raised you, he should be somewhat like a father figure to you, right? Among us humans, descendants generally take their father's surname, so let's use Di as the surname, and for the given name..."
Su Miu pondered for a moment, then opened the window. The blonde girl followed her gaze outside and saw little greenish leaves beginning to turn yellow-a precursor to the coming of autumn.
"It's autumn, and you successfully took human form in autumn, and also met me in your human form during autumn. Let's call you Di Qiu'er then."
(Actually, it's just that the author was too lazy to come up with a name, plus if it were changed to some other name, certain readers might not realize this is the Auspicious Beast from the neighboring Douluo, so let's just use this name.)
"Di Qiu'er, huh... Feels pretty good, let's go with this name. Thanks hu-uh, Su Miu."
Fortunately, having her own name, Di Qiu'er could finally go out to play in the human world with a clear conscience.
