The addition of a human to the core of the Star Dou Great Forest was a novelty for all the Beast Kings!
Moreover, this human was a three-year-old child with the Golden Dragon King bloodline!
All the Beast Kings had complex feelings towards Qian Renshang.
Firstly, they were moved by his pitiful background; secondly, the Golden Dragon King bloodline within him was extremely sensitive!
However, the atmosphere was at least harmonious.
Gu Yuena, Bi Ji, and Zi Ji all adored the child Qian Renshang.
Only Di Tian, watching this joyous scene, frowned slightly, lost in thought.
Time passed slowly, and night fell.
Tonight was destined to be an unsettling night!
Qian Renshang's injuries hadn't fully healed, so after dinner, he inevitably fell into a deep sleep again.
Bi Ji said this was the fastest way for the body to repair itself.
Qian Renshang and Gu Yuena slept together in the uppermost tree hollow!
At the very center of the Lake of Life grew a towering tree, an ancient and exotic species, said to be called the Golden Tree!
Di Tian and the others, after transforming into human form, also lived in this tree hollow!
Late at night!
Several tree hollows glowed faintly, mingling with the darkness.
A somewhat sinister figure emerged from one of the hollows.
With a single step, he arrived at the very center of the Lake of Life!
"King of Ten Thousand Demons… why are you still so slow?
We're just missing you."
A deep, thunderous voice quickly rang out. Several people had already gathered at the central lake.
One of them wore black, his face cold and his eyes indifferent, seemingly unconcerned about his surroundings.
Another man crossed his arms, a roguish air about him, his eyes revealing untamed confidence.
He was incredibly strong, his bronze skin exposed, making him look extremely fierce.
Another person had long, fiery red hair and a handsome face, but exuded an air of malevolence.
All three emanated powerful auras, clearly indicating their formidable strength.
Standing together, they created an invisible pressure, deterring anyone from approaching.
These individuals were none other than the Beast God Di Tian, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear King, and the Crimson King.
"Heh… my slowness doesn't matter at all, why the rush?"
the Demon King said irritably, then stood to the right of the Bear King.
Thus, the four Beast Kings were gathered!
All male Beast Kings!
"Alright… now that everyone's here, let's get down to business,"
Di Tian said gravely, looking at them.
"That child… what do you think?
Are we really going to raise this child forever?"
Indeed, Di Tian had summoned the Beast Kings today not to discuss anything else, but to address Qian Renshang's matter.
"That's definitely not acceptable.
That child possesses the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King… only by devouring him can the Lord achieve supreme power,"
the Bear King spoke first, eager for power!
"But... our lord is clearly infatuated! Not only that, Biji and Ziji are also insisting on taking in this human child."
The Demon King looked somewhat troubled.
"Indeed... women are women after all, too easily swayed by emotions."
"If it were anyone else, it wouldn't matter, but this is the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King!"
Xiong Jun and the Demon King talked back and forth, Qian Renshang's arrival giving them a real headache.
"Ah... didn't you agree to adopt that human boy during the day because you felt sorry for him?
Why have you suddenly changed your minds?"
"I think you all feel sorry for that kid now?"
At this moment, the Crimson King, who had been mostly unnoticed, weakly spoke up.
As soon as he finished speaking, all three of them, including Di Tian, looked at him as if he were an idiot!
"After hearing that story during the day... our lord was clearly infatuated.
Would he have listened then? Our lord is a woman too..."
"We were just pretending... Did you really believe it?"
Di Tian was speechless.
He knew that although the Crimson King was also a ferocious beast, his cultivation wasn't very high.
Among them, he was always the weakest, and even his transformation was a bit of a struggle.
But he didn't expect that the other party was not only weak in strength, but also not very intelligent.
Crimson King: "???"
So only I believed it, and he became the clown!
Di Tian cleared his throat.
"Our lord is infatuated now... After a while, when this emotion subsides, our lord will remember what is most important."
"Devouring this child should only be a matter of time.
I don't think such a short time is enough to cultivate any feelings, don't you all agree?"
Di Tian looked at the others.
"Yes! I, Old Bear, don't like that child... Even if he were raised here forever, I still wouldn't like him."
"Me too!"
They felt that they were quite cold-blooded.
It was impossible for Qian Renshang to integrate into their group, and it was impossible for them to develop feelings for Qian Renshang.
"However, to avoid developing feelings for this child, you lot should remember to act a bit cold... to discourage him, but don't offend our master!"
Di Tian reminded them again, and the beast kings all agreed.
After discussing for a while, they quickly left.
"I'm sorry, child... the Golden Dragon King's bloodline is truly too important to us soul beasts."
Di Tian murmured to himself, gazing at the tallest tree hollow in the distance.
Di Tian wasn't a cold-blooded creature devoid of emotion, but he had to consider the entire soul beast race.
Gu Yuena was still immature and prone to acting impulsively.
But he, the Beast God Di Tian, couldn't; this was his mission!
...
...
Inside the tallest tree hollow of the Golden Tree!
In the dead of night, within the tree hollow, shimmering with mysterious light, everything was tranquil and peaceful.
The interior was warm and comfortable, with soft, dry grass carpeting the ground, emitting a faint fragrance.
Tiny lights danced around like fireflies, illuminating the small space.
Gu Yuena sat beside him, looking tenderly at the three-year-old child.
If Di Tian were here, he would be astonished that his ruthless master would show such tenderness.
The child slept peacefully, his small face rosy, a sweet smile playing on his lips, as if he were having a beautiful dream.
His breathing was even and steady, each breath carrying the unique innocence of childhood.
Gu Yuena gently reached out and smoothed the stray hairs from the child's forehead, her movements as soft as a gentle breeze.
Her gaze never left the child, her tender eyes seemingly capable of melting away all the coldness in the world.
But the next moment!
Gu Yuena's expression changed, her hand transforming into a claw, aimed straight at Qian Renshang's neck.
