Chapter 205 Three-Eyed Golden Lion: Are you the master?
Although these reasons all sound plausible, Cai Meier still felt that something was off.
However, now is clearly not the time to dwell on these things; it's always good to be able to avert a crisis.
The Crimson King stumbled along with Gu Yuena in their acting, and although his "acting" was a bit awkward, no one dared to question it because of his immense power.
Suddenly, after hearing Gu Yuena's telepathic message in his mind, the Crimson King glanced at Cai Meier and Ma Sheng, and his three giant mouths spoke simultaneously again: "Since you came with Xiao Yuena, then let's just let this matter go!"
With these words, the crisis was finally averted.
Then the Crimson King turned its gaze back to its master and said, "Little Yuena, since we've run into each other, come with me to the core area. Your Uncle Ditian has been missing you."
Compared to the Crimson King, Di Tian, ranked first among the Ten Ferocious Beasts, is undoubtedly more famous on the continent.
After all, this is a being hailed as the Beast God, the strongest soul beast that even Limit Douluo must be wary of!
Those who were unaware of Gu Yuena's true identity naturally did not doubt that the ferocious beast, the Crimson King, would be "pretending to be polite" to humans, and even thought that this was truly an "invitation" from Di Tian.
This made them value Gu Yuena's reclusive family even more.
Cai Meier was thinking to herself that she must tell Mu En about this when she got back.
The significance of a human clan that can maintain such a close relationship with the core of the Star Dou Great Forest is extraordinary.
"OK!"
Gu Yuena nodded, agreeing to the Crimson King's suggestion.
But this matter was not over yet. The Crimson King's gaze passed through the front row and finally settled on Kong Xuan in the back.
It raised its right paw and pointed at Kong Xuan, saying, "This kid should come along too. You're the Kong Xuan that Bi Ji mentioned, right? You're so young, yet you're already at the peak of the Soul King realm."
"no!"
Before Kong Xuan could reply, Ma Sheng directly refused.
He couldn't control Gu Yuena, but he wouldn't let Kong Xuan, the greatest genius in the history of Sun Moon, go to the lair of soul beasts.
"Um?!"
The Crimson King glanced at Ma Sheng, his powerful aura pressing down on him.
It had just received orders from its master to bring Kong Xuan back as well.
Facing the ferocious beast alone, Ma Sheng's face turned ferocious, but he showed no sign of backing down.
"Old Ma!"
At that moment, Kong Xuan's voice came from behind.
Kong Xuan walked forward slowly and said with a smile, "Actually, I'm quite curious about the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest. I'll take this opportunity to go and have a look."
Everyone else looked at Kong Xuan with shock, thinking he had really gone mad.
The core area of the Star Dou Great Forest is a forbidden zone for humans!
Once you get there, your life and death will no longer be in your own hands.
Ma Sheng turned to look at Kong Xuan and said in a serious tone, "Kong Xuan, there's no room for discussion on this matter. I will guarantee your safety and will not let you take any risks."
Seeing Ma Sheng's unyielding expression, Kong Xuan smiled and said, "Old Ma, my grandfather must have said something to you before we came, right?"
Kong Xuan's words stirred up Ma Sheng's past memories.
Before coming to Shrek Academy as the team leader, Kong Deming had indeed met Ma Sheng and explained some things to him.
At that moment, Kong Xuan's words brought to mind a sentence from Kong Deming.
He remembered Kong Deming saying, "If Xuan'er wants to do something that you think is dangerous, don't stop him. He has ways to protect himself."
Ma Sheng looked at Kong Xuan again, his expression changing. He thought that the danger Kong Deming spoke of probably wouldn't have imagined it would be this dangerous.
Seeing that Ma Sheng seemed about to try to dissuade him, Kong Xuan preemptively said, "Don't worry, Elder Ma, there will be no danger. Even if something happens, I have ways to protect myself. I would never joke about my own life."
Ma Sheng frowned, seemingly still hesitant. After struggling with his thoughts for a long time, he finally succumbed to Kong Xuan's confident expression.
"Alright!" Ma Sheng conceded, "You're not a reckless child. I hope my decision this time is right."
Kong Xuan glanced at everyone and said, "Elder Ma, you don't need to wait for us after you finish your Soul Hunt. We will return to the academy on our own."
After saying that, he walked to Gu Yuena's side and said, "Let's go."
Gu Yuena nodded and walked towards the Crimson King with Kong Xuan.
Watching the two disappear into the vegetation ahead with the Crimson King, Cai Meier looked at Ma Sheng and couldn't help but ask, "Old Ma, are you really letting the two of them follow the Crimson King to the core area?"
Ma Sheng wore a helpless expression, shook his head and sighed, "What can I do?"
Compared to them, Xu Tianyi behind them had more confidence in Kong Xuan, saying, "I believe Kong Xuan will be safe. He never does anything without a certainty."
Ma Sheng thought about it and realized it was true.
Although Kong Xuan was young, he did everything he said he would do.
Moreover, he often displays various incredible abilities, which even he, a titled Douluo, finds astonishing.
Seeing that the worry on Ma Sheng's face had subsided considerably, Cai Meier had no idea where their confidence came from.
However, now Chu Qingtian can finally absorb the soul ring safely. Even if something goes wrong, it will be the students of Sun Moon Academy who are in trouble, and it has nothing to do with them.
On the other side, Crimson King and his group had already moved beyond the range that a Title Douluo could sense.
The Crimson King knelt directly before Gu Yuena and said respectfully, "My lord, I was rude before!"
Among the ferocious beasts in the core circle, the Crimson King, although it has three heads, is considered relatively "dumb," doing things in a methodical manner without many ulterior motives.
At that moment, he was still thinking about how he had called his lord "Little Yuena" several times, and whether she would be angry.
Gu Yuena has gradually adapted to life in human society, and in order to hide her identity, she no longer cares about these titles and such.
Gu Yuena said nonchalantly, "There was nothing rude about it. You did well just now. Get up."
Upon hearing this, the Red King stood up, his three mouths practically stretched to his ears in a wide grin, clearly overjoyed at being praised by his lord.
"Are you the Lord?"
A clear female voice rang out, and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion walked over, its large golden eyes curiously scrutinizing Gu Yuena.
The Crimson King said sternly, "Do not be rude! This is His Majesty the Silver Dragon King, the ruler of all soul beasts!"
With a gentle smile on her face, Gu Yuena raised her hand and patted the head of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
"That's right, I am your master!"
"This is our first meeting. The presence of you in the Star Dou Great Forest is a blessing for all the soul beasts. I should thank you."
Feeling the touch from above its head, the three-eyed golden lion revealed an expression of enjoyment.
At the same time, it thought to itself, "My lord isn't as serious as the rumors say!"
