Chapter 79 — Leaving the Star Dou Forest
"Yes."
Facing the command issued by the Beast God, Chi Wang could only lower his head and agree.
Bai Chen looked curiously at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
"Have you already prepared a human appearance for yourself?"
Earlier, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had mentioned wanting to go outside with him. At that time Bai Chen reminded her that once they reached the human world, appearing in her true form would certainly cause panic, so she should think about what kind of human form she wanted.
"Of course."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion proudly lifted her head. Golden light flashed across her body, and her enormous soul-beast form rapidly shrank.
Very quickly, the massive lion that had stood there moments ago vanished, replaced by a girl who looked around seventeen or eighteen years old.
She lightly stepped on the ground, spun around twice with her hands behind her back, and made a playful face toward Bai Chen.
"Well? Isn't this young lady's face pretty?"
"Hmm…"
Golden hair, crimson eyes, a tall and elegant figure that still carried a lively youthful aura—combined with that beautiful face, it was hard to deny she was stunning.
"Not bad. But you're only ten years old…"
Bai Chen couldn't help but sigh softly.
The psychological age of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was indeed only around ten.
But with 50,000 years of cultivation, her strength already corresponded to that of a Soul Douluo.
A ten-year-old Soul Douluo…
If such a thing appeared in the human world, it would probably cause a huge sensation.
"What? Do you have a problem with that?"
"No, none at all."
Seeing her slightly dissatisfied expression, Bai Chen quickly shook his head.
"Then have you decided on your name?"
"Yes, I have."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion smiled proudly.
"In the outside world I'll be using the identity of your older sister, so just call me Bai Yueqiu."
From the satisfied look on her face, it was obvious she quite enjoyed the idea of being his "older sister."
During this time, she had rarely been able to gain any advantage over Bai Chen. Since that was the case, she might as well do it through identity.
No matter how mature Bai Chen seemed, he would still be her younger brother.
Bai Chen helplessly twitched his lips, then turned toward Chi Wang.
"Chi Wang, please take a human form as well."
"Alright."
Chi Wang nodded. Red light flashed, and he transformed into a red-haired middle-aged man.
Soul beasts transforming into human form was different from true soul-beast reconstruction.
Even if they had over 100,000 years of cultivation, they would still appear strange to a Titled Douluo's perception. But visually, there was no obvious difference.
Thus, in the eyes of ordinary humans, Chi Wang would simply appear to be Bai Chen's bodyguard.
With Chi Wang acting as a guard, Bai Chen's actions in the human world would become far more convenient.
Although Chi Wang often seemed a bit foolish while begging for food in the forest, that was only because Dou Er's soul beasts were extremely strong.
In the era of Douluo I, any soul beast with 100,000 years of cultivation possessed combat strength above Level 95.
But in Douluo II, ordinary 100,000-year soul beasts were only comparable to Level 92–93 Titled Douluo.
A being like Chi Wang would have Level 98 combat power during the Douluo I era.
And the meaning of a Level 98 powerhouse in this era needed no explanation.
Thus, Bai Chen's three-person team had officially gathered.
Before leaving, Bai Chen asked Di Tian:
"Di Tian, if I told you to help me kill someone later, would you agree?"
Di Tian pondered for a moment before replying with a faint smile:
"If you can bring us enough benefits, then killing someone isn't impossible—even if I personally take action."
"Understood."
Bai Chen nodded in satisfaction.
Having Di Tian's promise was enough.
Besides, he wasn't in a hurry. The matter could wait until later.
Soon after, the group left the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest and headed toward the human world.
On the road, Bai Yueqiu asked:
"Bai Chen, what are your plans once we reach the human world?"
Although she had seen Bai Chen's memories, her understanding of the human world was still inferior to his. When the moment truly came, she actually had no idea what they should do.
"Of course I have plans."
Bai Chen said confidently.
"The first step is simple—we need money."
"Huh?"
Bai Yueqiu curled her lips in disappointment.
"What a cliché. I thought you were going to do something big."
"Nonsense. In the human world, money may not be everything—but without money, you can't do anything."
Bai Chen rolled his eyes at his new "sister," already worried about her intelligence.
Bai Yueqiu refused to accept defeat.
"Then how do you plan to make money? Rob someone?"
"If you see something you want and just rob it, what kind of soul-beast logic is that? Remember—from today onward you're living in human society. As humans, we at least need to follow certain rules."
"Then what should we do?"
Bai Yueqiu admitted she had no idea.
After all, she had grown up as a princess of the Star Dou Great Forest. The soul beasts that she regarded as food didn't even dare to attack her.
Thinking of ways to make money was naturally difficult.
Bai Chen mysteriously raised one finger.
"It's simple—rare goods can fetch a high price."
"In the human world, anything rare will have buyers. And if something is rare and useful, its value increases even more."
"In two other eras I studied soul-tool technology and forging techniques. In this time period, both of those are still extremely advanced technologies."
"With just these two skills alone, we won't have any trouble earning money."
"Oh…"
Chi Wang muttered from the side.
"So we're going to find powerful humans to promote your technology?"
"Of course not."
Bai Chen smiled.
"Humans have a certain mentality—they don't value things that are handed to them."
"If I approach powerful humans myself, they'll subconsciously think I'm asking them for something. They'll undervalue my technology."
"But if I spread the news and wait for them to come looking for me…"
"Then they'll think it's something they discovered themselves, and its value will rise dramatically."
"So what we need to do is sit by the fishing platform and wait for the big fish to bite."
"..."
Both Bai Yueqiu and Chi Wang fell silent.
They simply couldn't keep up with Bai Chen's thinking.
It sounded very impressive, but they had no idea what he was talking about.
Bai Chen didn't expect them to understand.
If soul beasts were that clever, they wouldn't have fallen to such miserable circumstances.
All he needed was their strength.
"You'll understand when the time comes. Just follow me."
Soon, the exit of the Star Dou Great Forest appeared before them.
On this day, the fate of the Douluo Continent quietly began to shift.
From this moment on, the lives of countless people would be rewritten.
