To Huo Yuhao's surprise, the Auspicious Beast's voice was a quite cold and noble female voice, which suited his tastes perfectly.
However, the fact that she could speak human tongue proved one thing... he had encountered yet another 100,000-year soul beast.
The Golden Tortoise's voice rang out within his Spiritual Sea, laced with unmistakable dread.
"Yuhao, this is bad... That... That is the Emperor Auspicious Beast!"
"Emperor Auspicious Beast? No wonder she's so beautiful... Wait, no, what? Emperor Auspicious Beast! You mean the Star Constellation Princess, the Auspicious Beast of Destiny whose luck is even stronger than yours?"
"Yes... and for some unknown reason, her cultivation has surged from 15,000 years to 150,000 years! It is also because of her that the soul beasts of the entire Star Dou Great Forest received the favor of destiny, causing their cultivation to skyrocket these past few years."
So that's why... wait, is this the time to be thinking about that? I should be thinking about how to escape!
"Uh... no, she is my teacher." Huo Yuhao waved his hands frantically at the Three-eyed Golden Lion. "Please believe me, Auspicious Beast, we truly mean no harm. At least up until now, we haven't harmed a single soul beast."
"That is the only reason you are still alive."
It wasn't the Auspicious Beast's voice. A female voice, equally pleasant but somewhat indifferent, rang out from behind him.
"!!!"
Huo Yuhao turned around in horror. A silver silhouette had appeared behind him at some unknown moment.
Her entire body was obscured by a silver glow, making her face impossible to see. However, her graceful figure was clearly that of a woman. Long silver hair cascaded all the way down to her ankles. She wore no shoes; it seemed as though something in the air was cradling those jade-like, white feet that looked like works of art.
Combined with the information Skydream Ice Silkworm had given him—that high-level Ferocious Beasts can transform into human form—there was no doubt that this silver-haired woman was a top-tier powerhouse.
Does this mean... another soul beast boss?
It's over...
Huo Yuhao swallowed hard, gritting his teeth to keep from collapsing. He carefully placed Zhang Lexuan on the ground and shifted his martial soul to the Deep Blue Glazed Dragon. Dense deep-blue dragon scales appeared on his body, and eight dragon wings unfurled from his back. Tiny, deep-purple lightning serpents flickered around him, causing the surrounding air to turn dry instantly. Simultaneously, he prepared to release his leg soul bone skill, Invincible Golden Body.
He could lose, but he could never give up!
In reality, he didn't know that the shock in the silver-haired woman's heart was ten times greater than his own.
The Dragon God bloodline... a pure Dragon God bloodline had actually appeared in a human! This was nearly unbelievable to her, the majestic Silver Dragon King.
Without hesitation, she reached out a finger toward Huo Yuhao's head. Her first thought was to extract the Dragon God bloodline from his body and claim it as her own.
The Three-eyed Golden Lion, who was walking over, instinctively cried out, "Don't, Lord!"
The Silver Dragon King's finger stopped an inch from Huo Yuhao's forehead. She looked toward the Three-eyed Golden Lion.
"Auspicious Beast, what are you saying... Ah!"
As if encountering something terrifying, the Silver Dragon King uncontrollably recoiled half a step, looking at Huo Yuhao with great wariness.
Just now, the moment her finger was about to touch his forehead, a wound on her body that hadn't yet healed unexpectedly tore open, coincidentally stopping her actions.
As half of the Dragon God, though the Silver Dragon King spent most of her time sleeping, she occasionally used her Divine Consciousness to probe the events of the Douluo Continent. As a former part of a Supreme God King, her insight was not to be underestimated.
To be able to trigger a resonance of destiny with the Three-eyed Golden Lion... Is he the Son of Destiny of the human plane?
"You cannot hurt him!"
Looking at the Three-eyed Golden Lion shielding the boy, the Silver Dragon King felt a sense of realization. If that was the case, it explained everything.
Upon closer inspection, the Dragon God bloodline in this human was pure but thin. It had merely condensed into this somewhat mismatched dragon martial soul and the two Ultimate attributes of Water and Thunder. Even if extracted, it might not be of much use to her.
Furthermore, if she truly killed this human boy, the entire plane would likely find a way to destroy her first.
Huo Yuhao looked in surprise at the Three-eyed Golden Lion standing in front of him. He felt an inexplicable sense of kinship drawing him toward her; perhaps the lion felt the same.
The Silver Dragon King didn't seem to mind the Auspicious Beast's insubordination at all. She said casually, "Very well. Auspicious Beast, finish what you want to do first. Afterward, I have questions for this boy. Rest assured, I will not harm him."
[Baili Du: It's fine, you can try...]
Seeing the Silver Dragon King step back, the Three-eyed Golden Lion breathed a sigh of relief. Although she hadn't had much contact with this Lord, she understood her personality well enough to know she was a woman of her word.
She turned around, scanning Huo Yuhao from head to toe.
A spiritual-type martial soul and a dragon martial soul? The bloodline level felt very high, but this martial soul didn't look like the dragons of the Douluo Continent. Neither Di Tian nor the Lord had that many wings.
She casually swept a forelimb. A flicker of golden flame sprouted beneath her feet, instantly annihilating the mist and lightning around Huo Yuhao.
Seeing Huo Yuhao's completely stunned expression, the Three-eyed Golden Lion smiled with a bit of pride. She suddenly felt that bullying him was quite fun.
"Human, what is your name?"
"Ah?" Huo Yuhao never expected the Auspicious Beast to ask for his name. He blinked twice before answering, "I... I am Huo Yuhao."
"Hmph... Listen well. This king's name is the Emperor Auspicious Beast, the Three-eyed Golden Lion. Remember it."
Huo Yuhao nodded like a chick pecking grain. "It's a beautiful name. I won't forget it as long as I live."
He really is a dummy... Thinking this, the Three-eyed Golden Lion pounced without hesitation, pinning him directly to the ground.
"Hey, hey... this... this..."
Truthfully, seeing that silver figure had made Huo Yuhao quite tense, but he felt no such tension when facing the Emperor Auspicious Beast.
Seeing Huo Yuhao's flustered, reddened face, the smile in the Three-eyed Golden Lion's eyes deepened, but a strange sensation appeared in her heart.
How could such a weak human possess the same power of destiny as her?
Well... he couldn't exactly be called weak. At least his mental power intensity was not inferior to an average 100,000-year soul beast.
Forget it, follow the guidance of destiny!
Then, she no longer suppressed the guidance of fate within her. She leaned down and pressed her vertical eye against Huo Yuhao's forehead.
"Hmm?"
Inside Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Sea, Electrolux suddenly snapped his eyes open. "It's here!"
