Not long after, near the capital of the Mingdu Sun Moon Empire.
"Is this human society? It's definitely different from the Star Dou Great Forest." The Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked at the steel jungle not far away and sighed sincerely.
There is hardly a blade of grass or a tree to be seen here; all that can be seen are iron-colored buildings.
Moreover, this city was quite different from other human cities he knew; it didn't have city walls.
"Yes, they are quite different."
Lin Mo nodded and looked away. "Let's go, I've found the person, I'll take you there now."
Although he had been to the Sun Moon Empire and Mingdu once, the Mingdu he visited was not the one he knew, but the Mingdu from ten thousand years ago.
Ten thousand years ago, the development of Mingdu was far less advanced than it is today, but now Mingdu is beginning to resemble a modern city.
"Hey, Lin Mo, where's the Master? Isn't she with you? Aren't you two in that kind of relationship?"
After hesitating for a moment, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion tugged at Lin Mo's sleeve and asked a question.
Lin Mo's lips twitched, and after glancing at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, he said, "Children shouldn't pry into adult matters."
Upon hearing this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion immediately put on a pitiful expression.
Lin Mo sighed and said irritably, "Don't worry, since I promised to let you go to human society for a while, I will definitely let you enjoy yourself here for a while."
But you must promise me you won't act recklessly in human society—"
At this point, Lin Mo turned to look at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, his gaze fixed on her brow, and said solemnly, "Especially, you absolutely must not have Attribute Connection with anyone else, no one at all!"
If we really encounter a powerful enemy we can't defeat, call Di Tian over immediately, understand?
"Yes, I know."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion nodded obediently and patted its chest with its two delicate little hands.
Before coming to human society, Lin Mo and Gu Yuena had already taken her back to the Star Dou Great Forest.
Taking this opportunity, he successfully persuaded Di Tian Di Tian to allow her to travel in human society for a period of time.
But the prerequisite is that she must carry the protective measures that Di Tian gave her with her.
A black reverse scale Outrage was currently worn on her chest.
With this Outrage, Di Tian can sense her location at any time and use it as a medium to descend to her vicinity.
If such a thing didn't exist, Di Tian would absolutely not have agreed to let her go to human society.
After they returned to the Star Dou Great Forest, Lin Mo took her away from the Star Dou Great Forest directly.
Instead, their lord remained in the Star Dou Great Forest, and for some reason did not travel with them. This was the reason why the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was curious.
Soon, Lin Mo turned around, his voice tinged with a hint of helplessness. "Don't worry about your mistress, she'll come looking for you once she's finished."
Gu Yuena should have already arrived at the Evil Demon Forest with the 100,000-year-old clone branch that Xiong Jun and the Myriad Demon King had painstakingly created during this time.
Once she has made arrangements for Xiong Jun, his disciples and Xiong Jun, and the forces under the command of the Myriad Demon King, she should be on her way.
Upon hearing this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion chuckled dryly and nodded again, following behind Lin Mo as they headed towards the Mingdu territory.
The two were enveloped by an invisible force, making them seem Frisk to others. They walked through the vast Mingdu like transparent people, heading straight for the Mingdu capital palace.
Not long after, at the Crown Prince 'Crown Prince's Eastern Palace of the Sun Moon Empire.
"Grandpa, Grandpa Qian, it's been a long time."
Lin Mo greeted the two elderly men playing chess not far away with a smile.
" Xiao Mo, you're back." Dugu Bo's hand, holding the black chess piece, hovered in mid-air for a long time before he suddenly turned around and saw Lin Mo arriving with a girl.
Qian Daoliu, who had already fallen into a disadvantageous position, took advantage of Dugu Bo's momentary daze, waved his hand to make a mess of the chessboard, and then stood up to look at Lin Mo.
" Xiao Mo, have you finished what you needed to do on the Douluo Continent?"
Next is to----"
But before he could finish speaking, he froze in place, just like Dugu Bo, his gaze fixed on the girl who was peeking out from behind Lin Mo.
"What... what's going on?"
" Xiao Mo, who is this little girl?"
Qian Daoliu and Dugu Bo immediately made the same move, pointing at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion behind Lin Mo and asking the same question in unison.
Let me introduce you.
Lin Mo took two steps back to the two elderly people, stepping aside and even making room for them, and pointed to the slightly reserved Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
Before Lin Mo could even begin to formally introduce himself, Dugu Bo's booming question had already descended upon the room.
He swallowed hard, pointed at Lin Mo, his finger trembling slightly. " Xiao Mo, don't tell me this girl is your daughter."
At this point, Dugu Bo let out a long sigh, heartbroken, and said, "It was clearly my Yanyan who arrived first, how could you—how could you—"
"Grandfather!"
Before Dugu Bo could finish speaking, Lin Mo forcefully interrupted him, looking at Dugu Bo with a dark expression. "What is all this nonsense? I knew you would misunderstand, thank goodness I came along!"
I haven't been here long, even if I had caused a death, how could I have given birth to such a grown daughter?"
Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Qian Daoliu and Dugu Bo exchanged glances, their eyes flickering slightly.
That does seem to make sense.
Lin Mo arrived a little earlier than them, and all in all, he has only spent about two years here.
How could someone have died and conceived such a grown woman in just two years?
This girl looks to be at least eighteen years old, doesn't she? It seems they've misunderstood.
After Qian Daoliu and Dugu Bo came to their senses, Lin Mo withdrew his gaze, pointed to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, coughed lightly, and said, "This is the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. As you can see, her appearance is indeed derived from me and another person, but she is not my descendant. To be precise, she is not even human."
"It's a Soul Beast!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu and Dugu Bo showed obvious astonishment.
Both of them are powerful individuals at the Limit Douluo level; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they stand at the pinnacle of humanity.
But Lin Mo said that the little human girl standing in front of them, who looked extremely like Lin Mo, was actually a Soul Beast?
How is that possible?
It should be understood that although Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast can choose to regenerate as humans, their Soul Beast identities cannot be hidden even from ordinary Titled Douluo, let alone Limit Douluo like them.
Lin Mo glared at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, who was feigning innocence and acting cute, and said irritably, "Transform! Transform now!"
"Okay, okay!"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion said, looking aggrieved, "They just changed it!"
"Hmph! Don't be so fierce."
As the Three-Eyed Golden Lion finished speaking, the light that had appeared on her body and enabled her to successfully transform into a human body was reversed at this moment, allowing her to return to her Soul Beast body.
Qian Daoliu and Dugu Bo stared in astonishment at the enormous creature that had suddenly appeared in the room, their pupils shrinking and their faces filled with disbelief. They stood frozen in place for a moment.
This is a Soul Beast resembling a lion, over three meters long and eight feet tall at the shoulder, its entire body covered in a layer of brilliant golden fur.
Its four claws resembled those of a dragon, Dragon Claw resting on a ball of golden flame, and its fur was covered with a layer of fine golden scales.
Besides her normal golden eyes, what was most striking was the red vertical pupil that shimmered between her brows.
The light emanating from those red, vertical pupils even carried a hint of the eerie.
"She—she really is a Soul Beast!" Dugu Bo exclaimed in surprise, momentarily speechless.
The world is vast and full of wonders; there are even Soul Beast that can deceive the perception of a Limit Douluo like him.
Lin Mo said helplessly, "Her identity is extremely special, and she is also an extremely special existence among all Soul Beast. She is the Emperor Auspicious Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest."
"This ability to transform into human form is one of her talents. If it weren't for prior knowledge, even Titled Douluo wouldn't have been able to Frisk that she was originally Soul Beast."
At this point, Lin Mo paused for a moment, then looked up again at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, which had transformed back into human form, hands on its hips, looking at everyone with a smug expression.
His tone was strange. "Moreover, in her human form, her current cultivation level is at the level of Quasi-Soul Emperor level 60). She can absorb the Soul Ring of normal Soul Beast to break through her own cultivation level, just like a human!"
"So Grandpa, Grandpa Qian, there's absolutely nothing wrong with you two treating her as a real human being."
Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Qian Daoliu and Dugu Bo exchanged bewildered glances.
Such Soul Beast was beyond their comprehension.
Only the Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked at Lin Mo with surprise. This human who was so kind to him seemed to know him better than he had imagined.
They even know exactly what the limitations are after they transform into human form!
They even knew that she could absorb Soul Ring to enhance her own cultivation.
Sensing the gaze of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Lin Mo gave her a smile.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion subconsciously turned its head away, a blush appearing on its pretty face, no longer looking at Lin Mo.
"But Xiao Mo, isn't it a bit inappropriate to let a Soul Beast who doesn't know much about human society go in alone?"
Qian Daoliu stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said, "Identity and such are secondary."
With such a disguise technique that can fool even an old man like us, no one else can Frisk her true identity.
"My biggest concern is whether she might encounter any danger. Should we send someone to protect her?"
"Are you in danger?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo pondered for a moment, glanced at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and shook his head. " The Evil Soul Master within the Sun Moon Empire have been completely eradicated."
Although her human body only possessed the cultivation level of Six Rings Quasi-Soul Emperor, most Soul Beast could not gain any advantage against her.
Moreover, despite her Soul Beast form only possessing the aura of over ten thousand years, her true strength is comparable to that of an ordinary hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast.
Even against beasts, they wouldn't be much weaker.
Upon hearing this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion once again proudly raised its head.
That's right, she is a noble Emperor Auspicious Beast; what ordinary Soul Beast has the right to compare with her?
Seeing the smug look on the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's face, Lin Mo shook his head and said helplessly, "But we should still send someone to accompany her."
Otherwise, with her clueless attitude towards human society yet fascinated by everything, she'll inevitably cause trouble sooner or later.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo, who was standing to the side, finally recovered from the shock brought by the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and patted Qian Daoliu on the shoulder. "It just so happens that this Old Qian has recently taken on two disciples. Although the younger disciple has been too busy to find time for him lately, the elder disciple has been quite free."
Let that little girl, Guyi, accompany her to wander around Mingdu.
" Ye Guyi? That's acceptable." Lin Mo nodded in agreement with Dugu Bo's suggestion.
" Lin Mo, I've already shown everything I needed to, and I've also met these two seniors you introduced me to."
Where is my playmate? Where is that playmate named Guyi? Can I leave here and go play now?
A moment later, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion turned around again, tugged at Lin Mo's sleeve, and asked a question.
His tone was full of eagerness.
Grandpa Qian has already informed her; she'll be here shortly.
But before that, you should think carefully about your own name first.
Lin Mo glanced at the impatient Three-Eyed Golden Lion beside him, raised his hand to his chin, and pondered, "Little Auspicious Beast, you don't want to flaunt the name Three-Eyed Golden Lion in human society, do you?"
"It's just a name; I've already decided on one!"
Upon hearing this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion clenched its fists, its eyes blazing with fierce fire, and declared resolutely, " Qiu'er, I'll call you Di Qiu'er!"
"Look, don't the colors of autumn match my original fur perfectly? And don't you humans all take your father's surname as your surname?"
"Then I'll just use Di Tian's surname. Anyway, Di Tian treats me no differently than his own daughter."
After saying that, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion suddenly looked up at Lin Mo, its face practically screaming, "Isn't this young lady very clever? Praise me!"
" Di Qiu'er?"
Lin Mo reached out and ruffled Di Qiu'er's hair, then pondered for a moment.
"Yes, that's a good name."
At this moment, Lin Mo's expression as he looked at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was slightly strange. Wang Qiu'er, Di Qiu'er.
Even without Huo Yuhao, she still seems to have such a connection with the name Qiu'er.
Not long after, Ye Guyi, who had received Qian Daoliu's orders, arrived here.
"Greetings, Master, Senior Dugu."
Ye Guyi bowed respectfully to Qian Daoliu and Dugu Bo, but her eyes lingered for a moment on Lin Mo and the girl who was about to pounce on her.
Are they a father and daughter?
Is he Master's guest? Several thoughts immediately flashed through Ye Guyi's mind.
But why does this man's face look so familiar?
Have I seen this somewhere before?
"Alright, Xiao Guyi, take Qiu'er downstairs first. She's a guest, so spend this time with her and let her explore the Sun Moon Empire."
"I will try my best to meet all her needs. If she needs any help, she can just call on me," Qian Daoliu said.
Upon hearing this, Ye Guyi nodded slightly in agreement.
However, the moment she stood up, a golden light flashed, and the girl named Qiu'er, who had been behind Lin Mo, appeared beside her and forcefully took her arm.
An irresistible, strange force pulled her almost dragging her out of the palace.
"Let's go, let's go. Your name is Ye Guyi, right? You heard what your master said, so take me to play."
"From now on, I'll call you Guyi," Di Qiu'er said very familiarly.
Ye Guyi looked at the girl with superhuman strength beside her with a face full of surprise. She had successfully obtained her Seventh Soul Ring.
She is now a Soul Saint, but without using her Martial Soul Possession, her power was completely crushed by this girl!
Isn't that a bit too unbelievable?
Qian Daoliu shook his head, looked at the two women who had already left, and his expression turned solemn again.
He looked at Lin Mo with a solemn expression and asked earnestly, " Xiao Mo, did you come to see us two old folks this time because you've finished what you needed to do on this Douluo Continent?"
"It's almost all done." Lin Mo for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"So you're planning to go to the Divine Realm next?"
Qian Daoliu continued to ask, his hands unconsciously gripping the armrests of the chair, his fingers digging directly into them with a slight force.
