Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 241 Greedy Ghost

Zhou Sichen knew very well what the emperor's auspicious beast meant.

Wherever she is, the growth rate of all soul beasts will at least double, and even the chance of a hundred thousand year soul beast surviving the heavenly tribulation will double.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion is a cultivation accelerator with built-in cheating attributes, and is the auspicious sign that all soul beasts dream of.

However, in addition to being excited, Zhou Sichen also felt a little doubtful.

Why do I feel such a special sense of closeness after the appearance of this imperial auspicious beast?
This feeling was by no means accidental, but for a moment, he couldn't figure out the reason.

Could it be because of the mysterious power of destiny?
Just as Zhou Sichen fell into deep thought, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion seemed to have made a decision.

Its body slowly shrank, and in the blink of an eye, it changed from a majestic three-meter giant to a small one-meter-tall one.

Then, it swiftly dodged into the tree house.

As soon as they came in, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and Zhou Sichen came face to face, staring at each other.

The three-eyed golden lion's big watery eyes blinked, full of curiosity and ignorance, and looked very cute.

Zhou Sichen was the first to break the silence, with a smile as warm as the sun on his face, and he said softly: "I have seen records of you in ancient books. You must be the Three-eyed Golden Lion, the auspicious beast of the Xingdou Great Forest."

His voice was gentle and kind, as if he was talking to a long-lost friend.

Hearing this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion tilted his head and thought for a long time before asking in a baby voice, "Are you Zhou Sichen?"

The sound was clear and pleasant, like a clear spring flowing in the mountains.

Zhou Sichen was not surprised that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion could say his name.

Since he came to the Lake of Life, the Red King has never appeared. Based on his understanding of the Red King, the Red King must have gone to protect the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

This three-eyed golden lion knew his own name, probably because he heard it from the Red King.

Zhou Sichen nodded gently and answered affirmatively: "It's me."

Then, he stood up and walked to the tea table nearby and sat down, his movements graceful and calm. He then pointed to the seat in front of him and said, "Come and sit down. Since you are here, just think of it as making friends. There is no need to be so reserved."

The three-eyed golden lion seemed to be infected by Zhou Sichen's enthusiasm. Without any hesitation, it took brisk steps and sat down in front of Zhou Sichen obediently.

At this moment, the three-eyed golden lion had completely lost the vigilance and caution it had just had outside the house.

It sat in front of Zhou Sichen in soul beast form, with its front paws resting on the coffee table. It looked like a cute and docile golden retriever, making people unable to help but love it.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion herself also felt very strange. She didn't know why, but when facing Zhou Sichen, a human, she didn't feel the slightest bit of disgust.

On the contrary, when she saw Zhou Sichen's warm smile, an inexplicable trust surged in her heart. This trust had no reason, but was so strong.

Originally, she was just curious and wanted to see who the guy who brought new hope to the soul beast clan was. But she didn't expect that after meeting Zhou Sichen, she would have such a special feeling.

Deep in the heart of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, she had a strong intuition that this human seemed to have a similar power of destiny as herself.

It was this mysterious and subtle connection that made her involuntarily approach Zhou Sichen, wanting to explore the other's secrets.

Zhou Sichen stared at the lively and cute three-eyed golden lion in front of him, his thoughts racing in a very short time.

A strong desire surged in his heart, just like Huo Gua in the original novel. He wanted to directly connect with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and obtain her unparalleled powerful strength. This was an opportunity that countless people dreamed of.

However, the obstacles of reality stood before him like a towering mountain.

Although the Three-Eyed Golden Lion looks soft and cute, its strength is comparable to that of a hundred thousand year old soul beast. The ultimate light and ultimate fire it possesses are enough to control Zhou Sichen.

If you try to guide the attributes by force without relying on the power of your martial soul, it will undoubtedly be a pipe dream and there is no possibility of success.

But if we really use tough measures regardless of the consequences, the consequences will be even more disastrous.

This Lake of Life is the territory of Emperor Tian and other fierce beasts, and Emperor Tian's strength is unfathomable. Once he realizes that Zhou Sichen has ill intentions towards the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, he will probably not even have time to react before Emperor Tian slaps him into pieces, and his soul will fly away.

After much thought, Zhou Sichen felt that there was only one feasible solution - to fool people.

Although the Three-Eyed Golden Lion is extremely intelligent, he is inexperienced and as innocent as a piece of unpolished white paper.

It is completely different from those old-fashioned soul beasts who have lived for hundreds of thousands of years and have as many tricks as honeycombs.

For example, the one hundred thousand year old rabbit that appears to be pure but is actually full of evil intentions is completely different from the three-eyed golden lion.

Such a simple three-eyed golden lion may be a perfect breakthrough for Zhou Sichen.

More importantly, Zhou Sichen keenly noticed that the look in the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's eyes when it looked at him not only did not contain the slightest hint of dislike, but was instead full of goodwill and curiosity.

This made Zhou Sichen happy.

One is an experienced "old fox", the other is an innocent and ignorant "little white flower".

In this confrontation, Zhou Sichen felt that he had a sure win, and might even be able to "fool" this auspicious imperial beast into confusion.

Thinking of this, Zhou Sichen's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

He calmly took out a string of candied haws from his soul guide. This was a secret weapon he had carefully prepared before coming here.

Zhou Sichen has always acted cautiously and never fought an unprepared battle.

He first reached out his hand, picked one from the candied haws string, put it into his mouth gracefully, and an expression of enjoyment appeared on his face.

That satisfied look seemed to be telling the Three-Eyed Golden Lion about the deliciousness of the candied haws.

Then, he gently took another one and handed it to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, with his arm slightly extended forward, a gentle yet seductive smile on his face.

"Taste it?"

The three-eyed golden lion tilted its head and stared at the candied haws with its big watery eyes, as if studying this new toy it had never seen before.

Then, it cautiously moved forward and sniffed gently, and a sour and sweet scent entered its nostrils.

Then, its clear and pleasant voice rang out in the tree house: "Is this hawthorn? Sometimes I eat some when I am too full, but it is too sour and not tasty at all. I don't like it."

Zhou Sichen still smiled and explained slowly, "This is called Tanghulu. The raw material is indeed hawthorn, but don't underestimate it. It is covered with a layer of sweet honey. It tastes sour and sweet, and has an excellent taste. It is very delicious."

After hearing this, a hint of hesitation flashed across the eyes of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and its little paws scratched lightly on the coffee table, as if it was having a fierce ideological struggle.

Finally, under Zhou Sichen's extremely sincere gaze, it finally couldn't help it, and half-believingly stretched out its little tongue and gently licked the candied haws.

At that moment, something wonderful happened.

The eyes of the three-eyed golden lion suddenly lit up, and the original look of suspicion was instantly replaced by surprise.

Before Zhou Sichen could react, its little tongue was as fast as lightning and swept away the candied haws in Zhou Sichen's hand.

It couldn't wait to chew it, and kept making cheerful sounds in its mouth: "Mm! It's delicious! The things you humans have are really amazing!"

Zhou Sichen looked at the adorable appearance of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion as it wolfed down its food, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He never imagined that the Three-eyed Golden Lion, an imperial auspicious beast with a highly respected status in the soul beast world, had never even eaten the most ordinary candied haws.

This unexpected discovery made Zhou Sichen feel delighted.

In this way, the wide variety of snacks prepared in his soul guide can be of great use.

If the three-eyed golden lion was deeply attracted by those delicious snacks, wouldn't she be hooked and become a black carp?
