Douluo Dalu: The Eyes That Defy Fate

Chapter 176 The Little Unlucky Guy

Upon suddenly hearing his master call his name, a hint of helplessness towards that little ancestor flashed across the Red King's dog-like face.

"Please wait a moment, my lord. The auspicious beast is still playing in the back."

After saying that, one of their heads turned ninety degrees to a certain direction behind him and shouted loudly, as if to convey some message.

Before long, a golden lion, over three meters long and about two and a half meters tall, charged out of the dense forest.

"Uncle Red King, oh my, my sister, you've finally come out!"

The three-eyed golden lion's energetic appearance made everyone shake their heads and laugh, and even Gu Yuena's usually calm face showed a hint of doting.

Lin Po's gaze towards her was noticeably more complex, a mixture of memories from his past life, affection, and sympathy, leaving him speechless for a long time.

After its joyful moment, the auspicious beast noticed Lin Po's presence and immediately recognized him as the human it had glimpsed in its destiny.

Although she was puzzled as to why this human was looking at her with such strange eyes, her innocent nature and the guidance of fate prevented her from harboring any ill will towards Lin Po.

"Little guy, come here."

As Gu Yuena's voice rang out, Lin Po and the auspicious beast also stopped their brief eye contact.

The auspicious beast trotted happily to Gu Yuena's side, lay down on the ground, and exposed its belly, begging for its master's caress.

Seeing this, Gu Yuena smiled slightly, stretched out her jade-like hand, stroked the auspicious beast's golden fur, turned to look at Lin Po, and continued:

"As you can see, this child is deeply pampered by the soul beast clan, and therefore still has a childlike personality."

"She has a strong curiosity about everything in the world, but lacks vigilance, which often leads to trouble, leaving the Red King and his men to clean up her messes."

Upon hearing this, the Red King was almost in tears. His lord truly remembered his hard work and dedication.

Only he truly understands how arduous it is to raise children, and he has the most authority to speak on the matter of caring for auspicious beasts.

Don't be fooled by how well-behaved this kid is in front of Di Tian and Bi Ji; once he's out of their sight, he'll run wild and have no time to himself.

Stealing the honey that the Bear King had secretly hoarded, uprooting the Demon King, and burning his tail with extreme fire—these were all things this child did.

Every time they complained to Di Tian and the others, they were met with the response, "She's still a child," which caused chaos in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Upon hearing Gu Yuena's evaluation, the mythical beast shrank its belly fur, clearly feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"But she's just a child, what's wrong with taking it easy? Besides, we're here for her, and she doesn't need to worry about the survival of the soul beasts."

At this point, Gu Yuena's flawless face was tinged with worry once again.

"But the pressure from the divine realm and the actions of the new Asura God forced her to get involved in this conflict."

"So, Lin Po, I beg you, please help her, so that she can continue to live carefree, at least free from the schemes of the gods."

Looking at the stunningly beautiful girl before him, who was practically begging, Lin Po was speechless for a moment.

Is this person really the Silver Dragon King? How come he's so different from what I remember? After recovering, he'd at least be a God-King level. Even now, to give 'Yuan' some face, he shouldn't be acting like this.

Just as Lin Po was deep in thought, 'Yuan', far away in an unknown small space, sneezed twice and muttered softly:
"That silver dragon is really easy to fool. Just a promise of a realm above God King and a safe breeding ground for soul beasts was enough to get her to agree to join without hesitation."

"It's a bit unfair to Lin Po. I don't know if he can withstand the dragon's conquest."

Despite saying that, there was no sign of embarrassment on 'Yuan's' pretty face, which was in no way inferior to Gu Yuena's.

I've already given him my girlfriend for free, what more could he possibly want?

Lin Po's prolonged silence caused Gu Yuena's mood to plummet, and she secretly regretted that she had been too hasty.

Thinking about it, it makes sense. This matter was not within the scope of the transaction, and there was also the risk of the divine realm discovering it in advance. It was normal for Lin Po not to agree.

With this thought in mind, Gu Yuena immediately wanted to change her tune and postpone the matter of the auspicious beast.

But the boy's voice just in time interrupted Gu Yuena's slight parting of her crimson lips.

"I've agreed to this, and I can do it right now."

Rather, this was actually part of my trip's plan.

Like a ray of light after a long period of darkness, Gu Yuena smiled with unparalleled beauty for the first time because of Lin Po's answer.

"Thank you, Lin Po."

"You're too kind. I can benefit from it too." The three-eyed golden lion, who couldn't understand the conversation between the two, looked confused. But after seeing Gu Yuena's smile, it hummed in agreement and laughed foolishly.

With her slightly deafening laughter and enormous body, she didn't look like a smart beast at all.

"Tsk tsk, so silly, just like a foolish daughter of a landlord."

Hearing Lin Po's evaluation of the auspicious beast, Gu Yuena's lips curled slightly, suppressing a laugh without uttering a rebuttal.

After all, in a sense, there is nothing wrong with saying that.

But the auspicious beast was not satisfied after hearing this. It flipped over and stared fiercely at Lin Po with its big, copper-bell-like eyes.

"You're the idiot! I'm the smartest soul beast in the Star Dou Great Forest!"

"Yes, yes, you are right."

"Ah! Human, I'll fight you to the death!"

The perfunctory answer instantly enraged the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, which, ignoring its master beside it, grabbed its large golden head and charged towards Lin Po.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion truly lived up to its reputation as an imperial auspicious beast. With only 15,000 years of cultivation, it was comparable to those 100,000-year-old soul beasts, and with just one blow, it knocked the unsuspecting Lin Po off balance.

However, when faced with Lin Po's serious expression, the big golden cat was subjected to 'inhumane' treatment.

Under the watchful eyes of numerous ferocious beasts, Lin Po mounted the auspicious beast that was lying prostrate on the ground and began to train it amidst its slightly shy roars.

With her left hand, she manipulated ice, which was no less than the ultimate level, to suppress the extreme fire of the auspicious beast, while her right hand frantically rubbed the golden mane around her neck.

Seeing the scene of his father committing such a crime, Di Tian's face turned ashen, feeling as if his little cabbage was gradually drifting away from him, his old father.

But his lord hadn't spoken up to stop it, and as a loyal subject, he couldn't make decisions on his own, so he could only watch anxiously.

As for the other ferocious beasts, they were not mindless beings either. Even Xiong Jun noticed the unusual attitude his master had towards this human.

Despite his resentment, his awe of the Silver Dragon King made him lower his head and avoid looking at the foolish man and beast in front of him.

A moment later, a sudden snoring interrupted Lin Po's actions.

Lin Po raised his eyelids, looking amusedly at the large golden cat beneath him that he had petted to his heart's content, and asked the question knowingly.

"Comfortable?"

"Comfortable? Uncomfortable! Human, get down here!"

The girl's voice, filled with shame and indignation, rang out. Lin Po was also afraid of hurting the big cat and not being able to touch it again, so he jumped off its back.

After regaining his freedom, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, knowing he was no match for Lin Po, got up and ran behind Di Tian, ​​seeking his father's protection.

Then, only half of his head was exposed, and he cautiously glanced at Lin Po.

Seeing the auspicious beast run away, Gu Yuena walked back to Lin Po's side, her voice softer than before.

"Not continuing?"

"There's still plenty of time, there will be plenty of opportunities later. Right now, it's more important to deal with this little rascal's problem."

Before the words could finish, the auspicious beast hiding behind Di Tian muttered in protest:

"I'm not a little unlucky guy!"

Di Tian helplessly covered his face, wondering if there was something wrong with his parenting style, which had made such a precious auspicious beast so naive.

"Alright, alright, you're not a little unlucky one. Come here to your sister, let Lin Po give you a check-up."

The coaxing tone instantly stunned all the ferocious beasts. Was this gentle girl really their master?

When did they become so kind? Every time I summoned them before, they were always cold and ruthless.

Does this ability to transform into human form also have the power to alter emotions?

"Huh? What happened to you guys?"

Lin Po shook his head and chuckled. It seemed that Gu Yuena still didn't understand the heart of a beast.
