Although he was a bit puzzled, Di Tian still walked into the cave.
Seeing the Three-Eyed Golden Lioness still lying lazily on the ground, seemingly having gained a few pounds, Di Tian's lips curled up unconsciously. However, when his gaze fell upon Gu Yuena, his pupils suddenly constricted.
Master... has transformed into human form?
What is the meaning of this?
"Master, you..."
Before Di Tian could finish, Gu Yuena waved her hand, directly cutting off what he was about to say.
"My injuries have mostly healed; staying in this cave any longer won't be of much use. Therefore, I plan to head to the human World to get to know and understand humans. Otherwise, we will remain completely in the dark. Di Tian, what do you think?"
Master is going to the human World?
So suddenly?
Not only was Di Tian surprised, even the Three-Eyed Golden Lioness, who had been with Gu Yuena day and night, was stunned.
Wait, you never told me about going to the human World!
The Three-Eyed Golden Lioness's golden eyes, including her vertical eye, stared intently at Gu Yuena, her gaze filled with excitement.
But Di Tian grew anxious; he hadn't expected his Master to drop such a bombshell on him. He immediately bowed and clasped his hands, saying, "Master, although your injuries have improved significantly, you haven't fully recovered yet. Why not... wait until you're completely healed before making plans?"
"It's no matter. My current injuries won't hinder my movement, and besides, I don't plan to stay out for long. One year. I will only stay in the human World for one year. This year will be enough for me to understand the human World properly."
"After one year, I will return to the Star Dou Great Forest and enter a deep sleep again to fully heal my injuries."
Gu Yuena's dark eyes swept over Di Tian indifferently. "During this year, this King intends to seriously understand the human World. When this King awakens and returns once more, it will be the final moment for us to seize control of our own destiny!"
Hearing these words, Di Tian felt his blood boiling with extraordinary excitement.
As the co-lord of the Spirit Beasts and the Silver Dragon King split from the former Dragon God, Di Tian trusted her words unconditionally.
It's just... is going to human society really reliable?
Di Tian still harbored a faint sense of worry.
"During the time I am away from the Star Dou Great Forest, Di Tian, you must look after the Three-Eyed Golden Lioness. Do not let other Spirit Beasts watch her; you must do it personally. I don't want any accidents to happen to the Three-Eyed Golden Lioness during this year."
???
What does that mean?
You're leaving the Star Dou Great Forest to go play with Ao Yao, leaving me at home without letting me go anywhere, and then you want Di Tian to watch over me?
Unfair!
Absolutely unfair!
Before Di Tian could agree, the Three-Eyed Golden Lioness immediately raised an objection.
Of course, she didn't dare speak too loudly to her Master; while it was an objection, she was actually making a tactful suggestion: "Master, I want to go to human society with you too."
Upon hearing this, both Gu Yuena and Di Tian subconsciously frowned.
Di Tian simply felt that the Three-Eyed Golden Lioness was being mischievous; after all, Master's trip to the human World this time was to investigate human society and their current strength and development—it was serious business!
You, the dignified Auspicious Beast, instead of flourishing the Luck of the Spirit Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, want to run off to human society?
Isn't this just causing trouble for Master?
Gu Yuena, however, was purely thinking of another rather thorny issue.
She suddenly remembered that the Three-Eyed Golden Lioness had initially entered her cave because the diary book said Tang San would tamper with the Auspicious Beast; she had kept the Three-Eyed Golden Lioness by her side for protection.
If she left the Star Dou Great Forest now, relying solely on Di Tian... he might still be unable to protect the Three-Eyed Golden Lioness.
The Auspicious Beast absolutely cannot be lost.
In that case, should she really take the Auspicious Beast with her?
The Three-Eyed Golden Lioness glanced at the stern-faced Di Tian, then at the pensive Gu Yuena, and quickly continued, "Master, please take me with you. I promise to listen to you once we're out, and I definitely won't cause trouble or get in the way."
"Non—"
Before the word "sense" could leave his mouth, Di Tian saw Gu Yuena slowly nod. "If you can manage to listen to me in everything, I can take you to the human World."
As her voice fell, the corners of Di Tian's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Now, he suddenly felt that Master seemed to be acting recklessly as well.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lioness was the most vital Auspicious Beast for the Spirit Beasts! How could she leave the Star Dou Great Forest so easily?
But... this was Master's decision, after all, and it wasn't his place to interfere.
Besides... it was only for a year; surely nothing would happen?
"However, if you wish to accompany me to the human World, you must also transform into human form and disguise yourself. Although the Auspicious Beast has a special status and can transform into human form with only ten thousand years of cultivation, this human form is not stable."
With those words, Gu Yuena stepped forward and placed her hand on the Three-Eyed Golden Lioness.
In an instant, the Three-Eyed Golden Lioness's body began to undergo a World-shaking transformation.
Di Tian took a deep breath, his expression somewhat helpless, but he still consciously turned away, all the while constantly reassuring himself.
At least, with Master's protection, nothing should happen to the Auspicious Beast.
Although Master's injuries hadn't fully healed, her strength was certainly enough to deal with those humans. The Auspicious Beast's safety could still be guaranteed.
Accompanied by a flash of dazzling silver light, the Three-Eyed Golden Lioness's form completely vanished, replaced by a girl with silver hair and golden eyes whose features bore some resemblance to Gu Yuena.
The girl was tall and slender, with long silver hair reaching her waist and hips. Her aura was noble, cold, and mysterious, her figure graceful—at a glance, she almost outshone Gu Yuena beside her.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lioness was clearly surprised by her transformation, looking left and right, a look of joyful surprise appearing in her eyes.
"From now on, my name is Yue'er, and yours is Qiu Li. Our Spirits are both Elemental Dragons, and you will be my younger sister, accompanying me to the human World. Do you understand?"
Listening to Gu Yuena's voice, Qiu Li nodded earnestly and began to move her body.
Having abruptly changed from a beast form to a human form, she was still a bit unaccustomed. She needed to take this opportunity to adapt quickly.
And...
She was actually entering the human World in this way!
To think she had been racking her brains earlier on how to hide it from her Master and sneak off to the human World to be by Ao Yao's side.
If she had known, she wouldn't have had to worry so much; wouldn't it have been enough to just wait and go to the human World with her Master?
