Lin Mo Was Tempted, but the Heavenly Dao Refused
Di Tian took a deep breath, and after organizing his thoughts for a while, he finally spoke slowly:
"Mystic Bird, you've been staying here for quite some time now."
His voice was not as deep and authoritative as usual; it was much softer, and at first glance, it even sounded like an old father coaxing a child.
So, I wanted to ask you--
Di Tian paused, looked directly into Lin Mo's eyes, and said earnestly, word by word:
"Would you like to stay?"
"Stay and live with us in the core area of the Great Star Dou Forest."
Lin Mo was slightly taken aback.
Before he could answer, Di Tian quickly added, "Here, the little guy will stay with you. No one can hurt you, and no one will dare to force you to do anything. We'll support you no matter what you want to do!"
"I will treat you like my own son, just like a little guy!"
After he finished speaking, the air fell silent.
Because it was thundering.
Cosmic Heavenly Dao: I'll fuck your ass! You damn dragon, what makes you think you're on the same level as me? You even tried to steal my bird!!
"Boom--!!"
Dark, thunderclouds surged in.
In just a few breaths, it completely obscured the sky above the entire core area.
Immediately afterwards, several bolts of purple-gold lightning struck down!
"!!"
Di Tian's eyes widened instantly. He no longer cared about the dignity of the Beast God, turned around immediately, and ran away!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!"
A series of purple-gold lightning bolts grazed his heels and exploded one after another.
The earth cracked, and rocks flew everywhere!
Although Di Tian possessed true dragon blood and had cultivated for over 800,000 years, his physical strength allowed him to withstand a level nine Soul Cannon with ease. But now, what he was facing was Heavenly Tribulation!
Heavenly Tribulation is the absolute nemesis of Soul Beast!
Moreover, it was a purple-gold lightning tribulation personally sent down by the Heavenly Dao!
If he were to take a real hit like that, he'd probably be skinned alive on the spot!
"Boom!!"
Another tribulation of lightning.
Di Tian rolled awkwardly, barely dodging the attack, several strands of his long black-gold hair were even singed by the heat. However, just as the purple-gold lightning tribulation was about to strike, it actually changed direction in mid-air.
Then, continue chasing and chopping at him.
The mighty Beast God was chased all over the forest, causing chaos and panic.
Meanwhile, Bi Ji and the Chi Wang, adhering to the principle of "the fortunate yielding," silently protected each other in front of them. The two beasts kept switching positions, one in front and one behind, and in a few moments, they had retreated several hundred meters away.
As the saying goes: Share the good times, and you'll take the fall.
Heavenly Dao, fearing it might accidentally strike its own kitten and Little Bird, specially made a hole in the top of their heads.
Amidst the dark, heavy clouds, the sun shone directly overhead, its rays warm and gentle.
Lin Mo glanced at the small patch of clear sky above his head.
Then, he glanced at Di Tian, who was being chased all over the mountain by lightning in the distance.
"Pfft~"
He couldn't help but laugh.
But as he laughed, Lin Mo's smile gradually faded, and he became lost in thought, gazing at the dense forest and lake.
To be honest, the ten-odd days he spent here were truly wonderful.
The bonds between Soul Beast are far purer than those between humans.
Staying in the core area means you have beasts to teach you how to cultivate, plenty of rare and precious materials, and a very high level of safety. Not only are you free from the harassment of Huo Yuhao and his group, but you can also sleep with the giant golden lion every day.
That's right, Lin Mo has now become good friends with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
There's no way around it, I ask you:
Who could resist a large cat that loves to cuddle, is affectionate, and needs to be close to you every night, needing to be held in your arms to fall asleep peacefully?
Lin Mo simply couldn't refuse.
Every night, nestled in the arms of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, I would go mad as follows:
"Mmm~~"
Whose big cat is so clingy?
Whose big cat is so clingy?
Oh~~
"So it turns out my big cat is this clingy!"
(Head down, inhaling deeply)
"Trojan horse, trojan horse, trojan horse!"
"Come here, let Dad—oops! Let me hug you!"
(Grinding the Three-Eyed Golden Lion)
"Forced love is never sweet, but forcing a big cat to pet..."
"So soft!"
Hehehehehehe!!
(Laughter similar to that of Lady Shiji)
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was petted until it lay on its back with its four paws in the air, purring contentedly. Its large tail wrapped around Lin Mo's waist, offering no resistance whatsoever, and even turning its softest belly over on its own.
After having his daily bout of madness before bed, Lin Mo felt completely refreshed, both physically and mentally, and finally fell asleep peacefully while cuddling the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
Although he only stayed here for a short two weeks.
But every day I live here is happier than my two previous lives combined.
There was no pressure to survive, no backstabbing, and no constant threat of betrayal. Only the Three-Eyed Golden Lion would play with him and indulge in his madness.
There's also Di Tian, who's tough on the outside but soft on the inside, like an elder; Bi Ji and Zi Ji, who's like an older sister to him. One is gentle and kind, the other is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Although their personalities are different, they are all very good to him.
And the seemingly simple-minded but actually most loyal and affectionate Xiong Jun and Chi Wang.
These two beasts were suppressed by Di Tian, but they only cursed and swore. When it came to actually teaching each other skills, they were both incredibly sincere.
They have everything here.
There was no backstabbing or treacherous behavior.
"Little Bird ~"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion lowered its head, burying its fluffy head in Lin Mo's arms, nuzzling against him and whining softly.
"Little Bird, will you stay? You can have anything I have!"
"I'll raise Little Bird, woohoo~"
It raised its eyes, its beastly pupils filled with unease and a longing for what Lin Mo had left behind.
Faced with the big cat's affectionate gestures, Lin Mo's heart instantly melted.
Anyway, he doesn't have a proper home in the human world, and in a year or two, Zhang Lexuan will probably gradually forget about him. Since that's the case, what's there to be nostalgic about?
It's better to stay.
At this moment, Lin Mo's heart truly leaned towards the Soul Beast.
Above the nine heavens.
The Heavenly Dao sensed Lin Mo's change immediately. The Heavenly Tribulation paused for a moment, and finally, it sighed softly.
Then, the thunderclouds slowly dissipated.
Sunlight once again bathed the core area, and everything returned to normal.
Di Tian remained frozen in place.
Because a thought silently entered his mind—the Way of Heavenly Dao.
Di Tian was startled.
"Little Jin."
On the other side, Lin Mo held the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's large head, a genuine smile on his lips.
I answered...
Lin Mo.
Di Tian, who had been turned into an African slave, returned, but his expression was extremely complicated. He remained silent for a long time before finally managing to squeeze out a voice from his throat, "I'm sorry, you can't stay."
Lin Mo was stunned.
"Di Tian!!"
Before he could even ask why, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion exploded in anger.
It leaped forward, blocking Lin Mo's path, its golden fur standing on end, baring its teeth at Di Tian and demanding:
Why can't the Little Bird stay?!
"Didn't you say you'd treat the Little Bird like your own son?!"
"Didn't you say this was the Little Bird's home?!"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion became more and more excited as it spoke, letting out low roars and its sharp claws snapping out and digging deep into the ground.
(P. S.: Surely there are people who don't have a kitten?)
