Chapter 232 - 88

Chapter 88: Three-Eyed Golden LionLion-like shape, dragon claws, golden fur, three eyes...Ye Feng looked up and down at this pretty and bizarre little golden beast, finding it more and more familiar the more he looked. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck his mind: wasn't this the Emperor Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion?Walking out from the bushes, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion stood bashfully in front of Ye Feng, a trace of human-like awkwardness appearing on her face.Just now, she had been captivated by the aroma of the roasted meat and had actually forgotten to hide.Ye Feng had no time to pay attention to her expression, instead wearing a solemn look as he vigilantly looked around.The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was an ancient auspicious beast; in any Spirit Beast habitat where she existed, the growth speed of all Spirit Beasts would be several times normal.Her existence was extremely important to Spirit Beasts, which was why fierce beasts guarded her side year-round.Perhaps he was already surrounded by fierce beasts now.Ye Feng did not know why the Three-Eyed Golden Lion did not stay well in the Lake of Life, but he did not want to care about these things right now.He was wondering whether he could escape with his current cultivation.The Three-Eyed Golden Lion at the side looked at Ye Feng's guarded appearance, as if she understood something.She barked at him a few times. Ye Feng was attracted by her voice and looked at her in confusion, his gaze seeming to say, "What are you talking about?"The Three-Eyed Golden Lion reacted, realizing she still could not speak human language. She instantly lowered her head in vexation and let out a whimpering soft hum.Seeing her like this, how could Ye Feng not know that she had something to say?He immediately circulated his mental force, condensing it into a thread that shot into the head of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion."What should I do? I don't know human language, and he can't understand what I'm saying. Wuwuwu, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have sneaked out..."Hearing this, Ye Feng's heart stirred, and he hurriedly asked,"Little fellow, don't be sad. I can understand what you are saying."Feeling the voice transmitted in her mind, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion abruptly propped up her body, looking left and right to find the source of the voice, and finally fixed her gaze on Ye Feng in front of her."Who is it? A voice popped up in my head, such a strange feeling... Human, did you do this?""That's right, I did it... Hearing you say that, did you sneak out?"The Three-Eyed Golden Lion did not have the slightest sense of vigilance. Her gaze gradually drifted toward the roasted meat, her eyes shining and saliva overflowing."Yeah, I saw Uncle Di Tian and the others were all cultivating, so I secretly slipped out by myself."The Three-Eyed Golden Lion should have been born not long ago, with a cultivation of only about five thousand years. Living in a comfortable environment without experiencing the sinister nature of human hearts, her mentality was still that of a child.Ye Feng believed what she said, but he did not relax his vigilance because of it.Although the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had a noble lineage, she was after all only a thousand-year Spirit Beast. Wanting to leave alone under the noses of many fierce beasts like Di Tian with this kind of cultivation was impossible no matter how one thought about it.Even if she said she sneaked out by herself, it might have been tacitly approved by Di Tian. The possibility of fierce beasts protecting her by her side still could not be ruled out.No, in this era where Divinity inheritors walked the continent, it was impossible for Di Tian to let the Three-Eyed Golden Lion leave the Lake of Life, even with fierce beasts protecting her.After a moment, Ye Feng could not think of a result and gave up thinking, intending to directly ask the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.But he suddenly noticed that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had already walked to the campfire, her eyes staring straight at the meat skewers in front of her, and she immediately bit down on them.Seeing this, Ye Feng was greatly shocked and hurriedly pried open her mouth, because this little ancestor hadn't separated them at all, eating them into her mouth along with the wooden stick.The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was somewhat stunned at having her mouth suddenly pried open, then struggled fiercely."Ah, wu, human, what are you doing? You have so many meat skewers, what's wrong with me eating one of yours!?"Ye Feng did not pay attention to her, using his spirit power to take out the broken wooden branch from her mouth before letting out a sigh of relief.You must know that he was currently in the Star Dou Great Forest, and close to the core area.Naturally, the trees in this area were not ordinary trees either.The battles of high-age Spirit Beasts were themselves a kind of screening; weak trees would quickly be destroyed by the aftermath.The trees that remained were generally century-old Spirit Beasts.Although it wouldn't pose any threat to the thousand-year Three-Eyed Golden Lion, it could still manage to injure her.Especially right now, Ye Feng was still not sure whether there were fierce beasts around.If they existed, seeing the auspicious beast of the Spirit Beast clan get injured, they would most likely vent their anger on Ye Feng.Crimson King and Ziji were fine; their ages were between 200,000 and 300,000 years, which, converted into the cultivation of a Spirit Master, was a rank 95 to rank 96 Super Douluo.If he played all his trump cards, Ye Feng had the confidence to escape.If it were other fierce beasts, he wouldn't even have the chance to flee.Just in case, he still had to serve this little ancestor well.Ye Feng took out a wooden bowl from his spirit tool, placed it in front of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, pulled out half of the meat skewers, and slid them into the wooden bowl with his spirit power.Seeing this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's expression of slight dissatisfaction instantly vanished. Her eyes lit up, and without standing on ceremony, she immediately began to devour ravenously.Ye Feng sat beside her, eating skewers while asking the Three-Eyed Golden Lion,"Little fellow, you only have thousand-year cultivation, and your Uncle Di Tian should be very strong. How did you slip out under his protection?"The Three-Eyed Golden Lion did not even raise her head. She was busy destroying the delicacies and answered with her mind."I am the Emperor Auspicious Beast, naturally bearing the fortune of the Spirit Beast clan. Unless they stare at me without leaving a single step, as long as they slack off even a little bit, I can slip out under the protection of fortune.""Then little fellow, how long have you been away from Di Tian?""I don't know, I don't keep track of time, but it shouldn't be long."Hearing this, Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief. His mind instantly relaxed, and his tensed muscles also loosened up.According to what she said, at least for a short time, no fierce beasts would come over.That being said, as long as he was still by the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's side, he could not be completely safe.The top priority was first to stay away from her as soon as possible, and second to leave the Star Dou Great Forest.Thus, Ye Feng began to concentrate on eating skewers, taking large bites of meat. It took him only the time it takes to burn an incense stick to wipe out the remaining meat skewers.He took out a tissue to simply wipe the grease on his palms and around his mouth.The Three-Eyed Golden Lion at the side had also finished eating the roasted meat, and Ye Feng casually wiped her mouth for her.Afterwards, he looked at the campfire in front of him, channeling his spirit power in his hands. The chill of Ultimate Ice gushed out from his palms, and instantly, the campfire went out."Little fellow, we shall meet again if we are fated."Finishing his words, he turned and walked toward the depths of the forest."Wait, where are you going?"Ye Feng turned his head and chuckled in a coaxing tone towards children,"Little fellow, I am going home. My family is still waiting for me to go back, and so are you. Go back early and don't let your uncles and aunts worry."The Three-Eyed Golden Lion shook her head, her paws exerting sudden force as she jumped onto Ye Feng's shoulders, saying in a stubborn tone,"Human, you cook deliciously. I want to follow you."Supporting the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Ye Feng's smile instantly froze, and he stiffened in place.
