Douluo: Crossing the Yuhao Star Palace Master

Chapter 109 Dream Eater and Gu Yuena
Seeing that his preparations had worked, the Silver Dragon King said, "Next, please introduce yourselves one by one."

"Yes, my lord."

After all the Soul Beast Kings responded in unison, one of them, a nine-tailed white fox over ten meters tall, narrowed its light golden beast eyes and approached Huo Yuhao, speaking to him before the other Soul Beasts could.

Immediately, a charming female voice entered Huo Yuhao's ears.

"Greetings, young friend. I am the patriarch of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, with 170,000 years of cultivation. I am skilled in illusion-type mental soul techniques."

Upon hearing the word "illusion," Huo Yuhao had already made up his mind. His Spirit Eye Martial Soul, apart from the auxiliary and control skills of the first soul ring, all the remaining second and third soul ring skills, whether simulation or Illusionary Eye, can be considered as mental skills of the illusion category.

Therefore, in terms of illusion skills alone, he is not lacking at all.
Unless it's a special support/control type of mental skill, his first choice would definitely be offensive methods.

So when the nine-tailed white fox said that she was good at illusions, Huo Yuhao had already dismissed her. But out of basic respect, he patiently listened to the self-introduction of this soul beast king.

"If you are willing to choose me, I should be able to provide you with an illusion-type mental domain and several single-target strong control illusion skills."

After the nine-tailed white fox finished introducing herself, Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and gave a polite reply.

"Thank you for your kindness, senior. Please give me some time to consider it."

"It's alright, young friend, please feel free to consider it."

After the Nine-Tailed White Fox finished her introduction, the other 100,000-year-old spirit-type soul beasts lined up to introduce themselves to Huo Yuhao. The process wasn't particularly fast, nor was it particularly slow. Huo Yuhao carefully examined each soul beast, comparing their characteristics and strengths.

Finally making up his mind, he fixed his gaze on a peculiar soul beast that was miniature in size, bear-like but not quite, with a long nose, a pair of short fangs, small airplane ears, light pink short fur all over its body, and a pair of small eyes that were always closed, as if it had never woken up from a dream.

"Thank you for your kind consideration, seniors. I have made my choice."

After looking around, Huo Yuhao finally settled his gaze on the strangely shaped but adorable soul beast. He smiled and said, "Senior Dream Eater, I hope you will take good care of me in the future."

Upon hearing this, the others, though showing regret, did not say anything more.

While in terms of strength, the Dream Eater isn't considered particularly strong among the 100,000-year-old spirit beasts with spiritual attributes—it's at best average. However, this type of spirit beast possesses an extremely outrageous talent—Dream Eater.

In essence, this ability involves consuming the dreams of others to aid in one's own mental cultivation, with nightmares being particularly effective. The Baku eliminates others' nightmares by consuming them, benefiting both parties without harming their consciousness or soul; in fact, it can provide some degree of repair and relief. Furthermore, this "dream-eating" talent, combined with the Baku's other talent—dream-sleep—allows for simultaneous hypnosis and dream consumption, making it practically a cheat code for mental cultivation.
The only drawback is that the Dream Eater race lacks offensive and defensive capabilities, making it difficult for them to survive when encountering beings with special talents in mental power. Therefore, the entire race is not only small in number, but even fewer have surpassed 100,000 years of age.

This Dream Eater was incredibly lucky. It had the good fortune to meet Bi Ji, the patriarch of the Emerald Swan clan, and it was only through her protection that it had the opportunity to break through to a cultivation level of 100,000 years.

So when the Silver Dragon King brought it here today, it, who had no clan to care about and spent its days eating and sleeping like a replica of Tianmeng, was looking forward to this brand new path of cultivation from the very beginning.

Now all alone, upon hearing Huo Yuhao's choice, it didn't hesitate at all. It lifted its four little legs, wobbled and floated up, then fluttered a few times before landing directly on Huo Yuhao's shoulder, where it moved to another spot and continued to snore.
Huo Yuhao's lips twitched. Had he just found a sleeping partner for Tianmeng?

Witnessing this scene, the Silver Dragon King's previously expressionless face now showed a slight upturn of the corners of his mouth.
You could tell she was trying very hard not to laugh out loud.

"Alright, now that the selection process is over, everyone can disperse. I'll invite you all to observe the ceremony next time we have the opportunity."

As soon as the Silver Dragon King finished speaking, the soul beasts orderly left the ominous place and returned to their respective homes.
As for Zhang Lexuan and Qiu'er, who accompanied Huo Yuhao and the Silver Dragon King, they stared curiously at the adorable creature on Huo Yuhao's shoulder. If Zhang Lexuan hadn't been holding a datura in her arms at the moment, she would have really wanted to try it out immediately.

Qiu'er, whose arms were currently empty, immediately ran over, her eyes sparkling, and snatched the Dream Eater from Huo Yuhao's shoulder, pulling it into her own embrace. After all, this was an Emperor-level auspicious beast; even a 100,000-year-old soul beast would have to kneel before this ancestor! Without the slightest struggle, the Dream Eater obediently cooperated with Qiu'er's actions, moving to another spot to continue sleeping.
Huo Yuhao pouted. He hadn't even had a chance to touch it yet! How could it have been snatched away so quickly!
I made the choice first!

The Silver Dragon King found his appearance somewhat amusing, but instead of taking the opportunity to tease him, she tiptoed over and looked over with Huo Yuhao.

"Are you leaving soon?"

Huo Yuhao turned his head to look at the silver-haired, ethereal, mature-looking Silver Dragon King, blinked, and said, "I've been wanting to ask you, do you have a human name? I can't keep calling you Silver Dragon King, can I?"

The Silver Dragon King paused, turned his head to glance at Huo Yuhao, and a slight ripple appeared in his amethyst-like eyes.
She was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Just call me Gu Yuena."

Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded, "Gu Yuena? Then I'll call you Senior Gu from now on."

Gu Yuena glanced at Huo Yuhao subtly; the boy's image was already etched into her mind, and now it was impossible to untie it.
"Don't call me when you leave, just go ahead. I've already spoken to Di Tian."

Having said that, she slowly turned around and walked quietly toward the Lake of Life, like a solitary passerby in this world, silently disappearing into the rising mist.
Huo Yuhao watched her departing figure until the mist she had summoned gradually dissipated, and she placed her hands on his shoulders. Only then did he realize that Gu Yuena had already left.
"When are we leaving?"

"Huh? Are you leaving now?"
