"It was time to go see Ah Yin." Watching Tang San practice his hammer techniques in the Forging Room while Xiao Wu sat nearby with her cheeks in her hands, quietly watching, Tang Hao, hidden on the mountainside, had a tender look flash through his eyes.

After hesitating for a moment, he ultimately turned and left.

No soul masters had visited Holy Soul Village in years. Nothing should happen if he was gone for just a few days, he thought.

A day later, inside the Stone Cave.

"Who? Who is it?!" Tang Hao roared.

The next moment, his face abruptly flushed red, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Little San!" His expression changed, and clutching his chest, he turned and ran.

A month later, in the Star Dou Great Forest.

"A rare Light Attribute soul beast, a White-Eyed Demon Tiger. Judging by its size, its cultivation should be around two thousand years." Seeing the white-furred, black-striped Giant Tiger ahead rise to its feet and glare viciously at him, the scarlet eyes of Zhu Wu's Silver Eagle Beast form flashed.

He had yet to Imprint a Light Attribute Soul Skill.

"Roar!" He immediately let out a roar and charged straight at it.

It was clearly smaller than itself, yet it dared to take the initiative and challenge it. The White-Eyed Demon Tiger felt its dignity had been provoked. It roared angrily and charged forward to meet him.

White light swirled around its body as it rushed forward. Once it drew near, it opened its jaws and violently spat out a wave of white light.

"Imprint!" Zhu Wu leaped aside without hesitation while activating his Imprint skill.

The next instant, he activated Teleport. His body vanished from its original spot, and when he reappeared, he was already beside the White-Eyed Demon Tiger. He raised a claw and slapped the tiger squarely on one side of its rear.

Who said a tiger's ass couldn't be touched? I even hit it!

With a smack, the White-Eyed Demon Tiger's rear tilted sideways, sending its body toppling to one side. As it fell, it twisted its head back and caught sight of the giant wolf behind it, shrouded in white light as white radiance gathered in its mouth. Its pupils contracted, and it instinctively mobilized the energy within its body. The white fur across its body instantly reacted, every strand glowing with white light and becoming crystal-clear. At the same time, the muscles beneath its fur bulged and knotted inch by inch.

"Imprint!" Zhu Wu had already stopped moving and instead activated his Imprint skill.

"Bright Light Roar and Holy Light Overlord Body, acquired." He grinned, a hint of Bloodthirst flashing through his eyes. White light gleamed around his body, dyeing his silver scales with a crystalline sheen.

It was time for a man-to-man 1v1 battle.

"Crow Sitting on Airplane!" Having spent so long in the Star Dou Great Forest, he had long learned to find amusement amid boredom and show Little White, now his only family, his cheerful side, just as he had once done for his grandfather Zhu Gang. Of course, it also added a bit of fun to this dull life. At the same time, it let him vent the frustrations in his heart. As a human, after being cut off from the world for so long, he would occasionally miss his grandfather and recall his previous life.

If I hadn't been scammed into marriage, perhaps I would have remained cheerful in my previous life. He sighed inwardly.

With his privileged family background and open-minded parents, he had had few worries since childhood, and his personality had always been cheerful and forthright. Unfortunately, fate always toyed with people.

He had actually run into a trashy woman—and a con artist at that!

Thinking of this, his mood suddenly soured. He roared and leaped straight at it.

The White-Eyed Tiger King was too close to gather strength for Bright Light Roar, so it could only engage him in close-quarters combat.

"Puff, puff, puff!" The battle was exceptionally fierce.

"That mutated Silver Eagle Beast is strange. With my cultivation, I actually can't see through it." Behind a nearby clump of grass, a towering man in red muttered in disbelief. As he spoke, he glanced to the side. A golden lion-like soul beast lay quietly there, its tail gently swaying behind it. Its three large red eyes were all fixed on the battle ahead as it muttered, "Bite it! Bite its neck!"

"..." The Red-Clad Strongman shook his head helplessly.

If this young lady beside him had not insisted on coming to the Millennium Soul Beast Living Area to hunt on her own, claiming she wanted to stretch her limbs and fend for herself, he truly would not have wanted to use Illusion Transformation to assume human form. What was so imposing about a human body compared to his true form? Still, to avoid disturbing the other soul beasts along the way and make it easier for the young lady to hunt Light Attribute soul beasts herself, he could only wrong himself.

As for humans, he could simply kill them if he encountered any.

"Let her have her way this once. She must truly have been stifled after staying inside for so long."

As he pondered, the mutated Silver Eagle Beast ahead seemed to have gone wild in battle. Red mist rose from its entire body, and its wolf jaws suddenly opened.

"Roar!" A terrifying soundwave abruptly exploded like a cannonball.

"Heaven Shaking Roar?" The Red-Clad Strongman was vastly knowledgeable and immediately recognized the skill unleashed by the Silver Eagle Beast.

Looking down, he saw that the White-Eyed Demon Tiger had been stunned on the spot. Then, white light flashed over the Silver Eagle Beast's body, and it rapidly shrank, transforming into a human child.

"???" Both the man and the lion froze.

They had clearly sensed the aura of a soul beast from that mutated Silver Eagle Beast just now. How had it turned into a human?

Whoosh! Curiosity flashed through the lion's eyes as it rose and leaped out.

The Red-Clad Strongman immediately frowned and flashed after it.

Since they had seen it, if it was not a soul beast, then they could only kill it!

"!!?" Hearing the movement, Zhu Wu subconsciously turned his head. His pupils instantly shrank, and after glancing behind them, his entire body stiffened.

No, I just wanted to vent a little. How did I end up attracting these two calamities?!

He glanced at the unconscious White-Eyed Demon Tiger beneath him, and his face twitched.

Damn it, if you wanted an extra meal of Light Attribute soul beast brains, there was no need to come all the way to the Millennium Soul Beast Living Area! Couldn't you have just had your bodyguard catch one for you? Were you really that bored?

Actually, it really was possible. Hadn't Huo Gua encountered her in the Millennium Soul Beast Living Area in the sequel?

"But why hadn't I sensed any danger with these two walking so close by?" Filled with doubt, he shifted his gaze to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

"Could the Power of Luck on the Three-Eyed Golden Lion have blocked Little White's danger-sensing ability? Or perhaps they had been judged as harmless."

"There's another possibility: I got too carried away fighting and lost my head?"

"No matter what, I need to think of a way out quickly. Now that I've seen the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's true appearance, Scarlet King definitely won't let me go. The gap in strength is too great. There's no way I can escape." While forcing himself to rise calmly, his mind raced frantically.

"Hey, are you a human or a soul beast?" A clear, bell-like female voice suddenly rang through the air.

Zhu Wu came back to his senses and looked over. It was the Three-Eyed Golden Lion walking ahead, speaking human language.

As expected of the Emperor Auspicious Beast, born with intelligence!

Emperor Auspicious Beast, Di Tian. An idea suddenly flashed through his mind, and his fists unconsciously clenched.

Damn it, I'll risk it!

Since he could not escape, he might as well make a big gamble!

"Are you the Three-Eyed Golden Lion?" He studied her and asked tentatively, "Do you know Di Tian?"

"???" The Red-Clad Strongman's body shook.

"You know Uncle Di Tian?" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion asked first.

"Where is he?!" Zhu Wu pretended to be anxious and hurriedly asked.

"Who exactly are you?" Scarlet King's face was filled with uncertainty as he asked in a low voice.

"You may call me Treasure Hiding Beast, or you may call me by my human name, Zhu Wu," Zhu Wu replied.
