Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 242: A Simple Auspicious Beast, Emperor Tian’s Warning

Three-Eyed Jin Ni's cheeks were bulging like a greedy little squirrel. She swallowed the last bite of candied haws, with sugar still hanging at the corners of her mouth. She stuck out her pink little tongue and licked it.

Then, those big watery eyes stared straight at the remaining candied haws in Zhou Sichen's hand, their eyes full of desire.

Zhou Sichen saw this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a gentle smile, handed the candied haws in his hand to her, and said softly: "If you like, these can all be given to you."

The three-eyed golden cat did not hesitate. He stretched out his two furry front paws and took the candied haws steadily. He held it to his chest and smiled happily.

As she ate, her cheeks bulged and she mumbled incoherently, "I didn't expect that you are not only Di Tian's friend, but also a good person."

Zhou Sichen picked up the exquisite water cup on the table and took a sip of the delicious juice that Brigitte had specially sent. The sweetness of the juice spread on his taste buds. He nodded comfortably and replied, "That's it."

In a short while, the three-eyed golden monkey finished up the candied haws like a whirlwind.

Zhou Sichen looked at her unsatisfied look and asked with a smile: "Are you here to play with me?"

Three-eyed Jin Ni tilted his head, his little ears twitched, and he hesitated for a moment before replying, "I guess so. Mainly because there has never been a human here before, and I wanted to take a look."

Zhou Sichen was delighted when he heard this, and the smile on his face became brighter: "Is that so? I can take you to play together and share interesting things in the human world with you."

Three-eyed Jin Ni's eyes instantly lit up like two bright stars, and he jumped up excitedly: "Really? Actually, I am also very curious about your human world, but Di Tian won't let me go out, saying that you humans are all bad guys."

After saying this, Three-Eyed Jin Ni glanced at Zhou Sichen and quickly added, "Well...except for you. Not only did you bring the Soul Technique, you also gave me delicious candied haws to eat. You should not be a bad person."

Zhou Sichen smiled and took out half of the sugar-roasted chestnuts from the soul guide. The plump chestnuts were covered with a light layer of icing sugar, exuding an attractive luster: "You are really good at complimenting people. Heat this up and I will peel it for you to eat."

Three-Eyed Jin Ni took the sugar-roasted chestnuts, and her small nose moved. Under her skillful control, the fire element wrapped around the chestnuts like a nimble little fire snake. In just a moment, the chestnuts were heated.

A strong and sweet smell wafted into her nose, making her big, bright eyes widen.

"Wow! This smells so good and looks like chestnuts. Is it as delicious as candied haws?" Three-Eyed Jin Ni asked expectantly.

Zhou Sichen took the heated sugar-roasted chestnuts and skillfully took one out to peel for Sanyan Jinni.

The golden chestnut flesh was exposed, and he gently brought it to her lips: "Yes, and this one is more fragrant, it's called sugar-roasted chestnuts."

This time, Three-Eyed Jin Ni did not hesitate at all. His little tongue rolled like lightning and he ate the sugar-roasted chestnuts that Zhou Sichen fed him into his mouth.

Instantly, the sweet and soft taste spread in her mouth. Her eyes narrowed into two curved slits, and then she let out a cheering voice: "It's delicious! I want more! This is much more delicious than brain marrow or something."

Hearing this, Zhou Sichen did not show any strange expression. After all, no matter what, the current Three-Eyed Golden Ni is a soul beast, and its living habits are naturally very different from those of humans.

Three-Eyed Jin Ni seemed to realize that what he said was not quite right, and he waved his little paw in the air and quickly explained, "It's not what you think. The way we soul beasts eat is different from you humans."

Zhou Sichen just smiled slightly, that smile was full of understanding and tolerance: "I understand, let me tell you a story."

When Three-Eyed Jin Ni heard this, he nodded excitedly, his eyes gleaming with anticipation: "Okay, okay."

Over the next two hours, the sun shone through the mottled leaves onto the grass, forming patches of golden light.

Zhou Sichen sat on a soft stool, picking out plump chestnuts from the pile of chestnuts, peeling them carefully, and feeding them to the three-eyed golden cat, while telling her little stories in a vivid way.

At the beginning, there was a little girl selling nuclear bombs, seven giants and a little princess, and Pinocchio who never lied...

Zhou Sichen was engaged in his talk and Three-Eyed Jin Ni was fascinated by his listening. His eyes were red with tears for the tragic experience of the little girl who sold the nuclear bomb, and he was laughing out loud at the funny stories of the seven giants and the little princess.

The three-eyed Jin Ni became more and more excited the more he listened, staring at Zhou Sichen without blinking, afraid of missing any exciting plot.

Seeing this, Zhou Sichen became more interested and started talking about the war rising on Cybertron and Zhuge Liang's seven captures of Megatron.

He described the plot in a dramatic way, with Zhuge Liang, wearing a feather fan and a royal turban, making Megatron run around in a casual conversation.

Lin Daiyu pulls out a weeping willow tree. The weak Lin Daiyu transforms into a strongman and pulls out the weeping willow tree by its roots. The picture is so vivid that it makes people laugh.

Ao Fu was defeated in the Kingdom of Light. The majestic Ao Fu encountered a powerful enemy and fled in a panic.

Guan Yu warmed up the wine and killed Zero. Guan Yu held the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand. With a flash of cold light, Zero was defeated...

Each story is passionate, sentimental, and funny...

Hearing that Three-Eyed Jin Ni was becoming more and more curious about the human world, she felt as if a door to a new world had opened in her head.

She couldn't help but sigh inwardly, why is the human world so interesting?

Compared to the boring Star Forest, she felt that the human world was simply a paradise on earth!

Before we knew it, the sun slowly sank and the sky was dyed orange-red, like an overturned paint palette.

When Brigitte came to Zhou Sichen's residence with light steps and carefully prepared food, she was startled and raised her eyebrows when she saw the Three-Eyed Jin Ni there.

"Lucky Beast, why are you here at Si Chen?"

When Three-Eyed Jin Ni heard the voice, he immediately turned around, with a bright smile on his face, like a blooming sunflower, and grinned at Brigitte:
"Zhou Sichen is so interesting. We are good friends now. He is here alone and no one wants to play with him, so I came here to keep him company."

As he spoke, Three-Eyed Jin Ni playfully wrinkled his small nose at Zhou Sichen, his eyes gleaming with anticipation, and asked, "Isn't that right, Zhou Sichen? We are good friends now, right?"

Zhou Sichen raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile as warm as the sun, and said gently: "Of course."

Then, Zhou Sichen looked at Biji, his expression serious and sincere: "Senior Biji, I know what the auspicious beast means to the Xingdou Great Forest, and I will not have any improper thoughts about her."

He turned his gaze to Three-Eyed Jin Ni again, his eyes full of fondness: "I think she is also quite cute, I can play with her during this time."

After hearing Zhou Sichen's explanation, Biji's slightly wary expression gradually softened, and there was a little more trust in her eyes: "Sichen, don't mind it. The auspicious beast is indeed very important to us, and we must not let it get lost."

Zhou Sichen still smiled, nodded gently, and said in a relaxed tone: "I understand."

Then Biji looked at Three-Eyed Jin Ni, her tone gentle but with some admonition: "Since Si Chen is willing to play with you, you can come to him when you have time during the day, but you must not disturb his practice."

Three-eyed Jin Ni nodded his head like a rattle and responded crisply, "I know, Zhou Sichen is our honored guest, I will treat him well."

After saying that, Three-Eyed Jin Ni's gaze fell on the food that Brigitte brought over. He saw some crystal clear honey, brightly colored fruits and the like.

She just glanced at him casually, then looked away, with a hint of disgust flashing across her face.

She has now been completely fascinated by Zhou Sichen's various snacks. These were once extremely precious in her eyes. Even in the world of soul masters, they were treasures. However, Three-Eyed Jin Ni no longer has any interest in them. After all, she has long been tired of them.

When Zhou Sichen saw these foods, his eyes lit up. He could tell at a glance that the honey was extraordinary. Its color was warm and its aroma was mellow. It was obvious that it came from bees that had been beekeeping for at least ten thousand years.

This kind of honey is a treasure. Long-term consumption not only has the effect of beautifying and prolonging life, but also greatly promotes the soul master's meditation and practice to enter a state of concentration.

Biji put down the food and prepared to leave. Before leaving, she reminded Three-Eyed Jin Ni worriedly: "Don't disturb Si Chen's practice at night."

Three-eyed Jin Ni nodded repeatedly, as obedient as a little baby.

When Biji disappeared from sight, she immediately jumped up to Zhou Sichen like a happy little deer, her eyes sparkling, and said excitedly: "How about I bring you something delicious tomorrow?"

At this time, Zhou Sichen was tasting the fruit honey grapefruit tea that he had just carefully prepared. The sour, sweet, and refreshing taste made him very comfortable.

Hearing what Sanyan Jinni said, he put down the cup in his hand and replied with a smile: "Okay."

After confirming the taste, Zhou Sichen took out a delicate little cup and carefully gave some to Sanyan Jinni: "Try it."

Three-Eyed Jin Ni stuck out her pink little tongue and gently licked the grapefruit tea in the cup.

In an instant, her eyes widened like two sparkling gems and she shouted excitedly:

"Wow, can you make something so delicious? I'm already tired of these things, but why does yours taste different?"

Zhou Sichen patiently explained: "Each ingredient has its own unique flavor, but when they are paired together, the flavors of each ingredient blend and collide with each other, and some new flavors will be born."

When Three-Eyed Jin Ni heard this, he picked up the cup and took a big sip. He looked so satisfied as if he was tasting the most delicious delicacy in the world.

With a gleam of desire in her eyes, she looked at Zhou Sichen and said, "So that's how it is. Can you teach me?"

Zhou Sichen nodded with a gentle smile on his face: "Sure, I will live here during this period of time. If you have any food you want to eat, you can bring it here. I will help you prepare it and guarantee that it will be delicious."

Upon hearing this, Three-Eyed Jin Ni's eyes lit up instantly and he jumped up excitedly: "That's great, there is so much food in the Star Dou Great Forest, I can eat delicious food again."

Zhou Sichen looked at the three-eyed Jin Ni who was dancing with excitement and smiled gently.

During the short few hours they spent together, he found that this little guy was as simple as a piece of unpolished white paper, without any ulterior motives. His every move was full of innocence and cuteness, just like a little child.

But what surprised Zhou Sichen the most was Brigitte's performance.

Recalling that when Brigitte saw Three-Eyed Golden Ni here, she raised her eyebrows in surprise for a moment, but then she did not try to stop Three-Eyed Golden Ni from coming to play with her during the day. She just reminded him not to disturb her practice.

She didn't seem to mind the auspicious beast's frequent contact with her. Was this a manifestation of her unreserved trust in herself?

Zhou Sichen pondered secretly, various thoughts surging in his mind like a tide.

He really couldn't figure out the deeper meaning behind Brigitte's action. After all, the auspicious beasts played an important role in the Star Dou Great Forest, and any action related to them might lead to unexpected consequences.

But no matter what, Zhou Sichen knew that this was definitely an extremely favorable start.

He would only stay in the Star Dou Great Forest for about a month at most. After the construction of the Spirit Transferring Tower was successfully completed, he would return to Tianyuan City.

However, as long as this group of powerful ferocious beasts do not prevent him from contacting the auspicious beast, Zhou Sichen believes that one month is enough to make this three-eyed Jin Ni, who is as innocent as a blank sheet of paper, get along with him in the direction he wants.

Although Zhou Sichen does not claim to be good at taking care of children, he is very confident about how to build closer relationships with others and gain their favor, and he can do it easily.

Sanyan Jin Ni finished her cup of honey grapefruit tea and chatted with Zhou Sichen enthusiastically for a while.

The two chatted with each other, sharing each other's interesting stories, and the house was filled with laughter.

After agreeing that Sanyan Jinni would bring Zhou Sichen some delicious food tomorrow, she left the tree house reluctantly, looking back every few steps.

The small figure, stretched out in the afterglow of the setting sun, seemed to be expressing its attachment to this happy time.

Not long after Three-Eyed Jin Ni left, Zhou Sichen was sitting in the house reviewing the situation. At this moment, a black light flashed in the tree house, and the tall and majestic figure of Di Tian appeared in the house.

He exuded a powerful aura, as if the air around him was vibrating.

When he saw Di Tian, ​​Zhou Sichen was not at all flustered and still had a polite smile on his face.

He stood up slowly, poured a cup of honey grapefruit tea for Di Tian, ​​bowed slightly, and said respectfully, "Senior."

Di Tian's gaze stayed on Zhou Sichen's face for a moment, then he hesitated for a moment, reached out his hand, took the cup and took a sip.

After a moment, he nodded slightly and praised: "This thing is really good, much better than the stuff that the King of Ten Thousand Monsters researched."

There was a hint of unintentional teasing in the tone, which eased the originally slightly tense atmosphere a little.

Zhou Sichen laughed, his face filled with humility, and explained: "It's mainly because the raw materials are good enough, without any additives. They are all natural ingredients from the forest, retaining the purest taste."

Di Tian slowly sat down in front of Zhou Sichen, his eyes fixed on Zhou Sichen, and then slowly said: "After spending so much time with the auspicious beast, what do you feel?"

Hearing this, Zhou Sichen instantly understood that Di Tian was not just chatting with him out of boredom.

Obviously, he came to test his attitude towards the auspicious beast. After all, the auspicious beast had a special status in the Star Dou Great Forest and could not afford any mistakes.

Zhou Sichen pondered for a moment, then carefully replied, "The little guy has a very pure mind, like a clear spring water, without any impurities, very cute."

Di Tian rolled his eyes at Zhou Sichen and said with a hint of ridicule: "How old are you? Calling her a little one?"

Zhou Sichen smiled and replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Based on her IQ and intelligence, isn't she just an innocent child? And when I call her little one, she always agrees without any hesitation and doesn't mind at all."

After hearing this, Di Tian fell silent for a moment and fell into a brief period of thought.

He was not angry at Zhou Sichen's words. Instead, his expression became more serious: "I don't care how you get along with her, but she is the reverse scale of the entire Xingdou Great Forest. No one can touch her."

"I have no objection to you two being friends, but I hope she will always be that innocent child and not be tainted by the complexity of the world."

Facing the warning in Di Tian's words, Zhou Sichen also fell silent. He looked at the quiet forest outside the window. After a long while, he slowly spoke: "Senior, sometimes overprotection may harm her."

“Flowers in the greenhouse are beautiful, but once they leave the greenhouse, they will be hard to resist the wind and rain outside.”

Zhou Sichen seemed to truly regard the auspicious beast as a friend: "You should try to let her understand what things are dangerous and what things are good, and cultivate her ability to make independent judgments. Only in this way can she truly grow and better protect the Xingdou Great Forest."
