Douluo Continent: The Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, Ma Xiaotao is Addicted

"It's an auspicious beast!"

Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat.

He never expected that his lunch with Zhang Lexuan on the edge of the mixed zone would attract such a legendary creature, considered a treasure by the entire Star Dou Great Forest!

Of course, Ye Chen actually planned to help Zhang Lexuan obtain her ninth spirit ring first, and then slowly search for the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

Unexpectedly, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion has now come to us of its own accord.

Ye Chen activated the Boundless Eye of Heaven and Earth, and his gaze swept across the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, quickly finding the figure of a giant three-headed dog.

The three-headed dog is over eight meters long and over four meters tall, with three enormous heads, each over one meter in diameter, making it look extremely imposing!
Ye Chen had not seen any information about this kind of soul beast in the textbook.

However, Ye Chen recognized it at a glance. This soul beast should be the legendary Crimson King, whose cultivation has exceeded 300,000 years!

However, the Crimson King's bloodline was still too weak, ranking only eighth among the top ten ferocious beasts. It couldn't even defeat Xuanzi, making it incredibly weak.

With Ye Chen's current strength, he naturally doesn't take them seriously at all.

The only person Ye Chen was wary of was Di Tian.

However, if Ye Chen doesn't do anything to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Di Tian is unlikely to come out and mess with him.

Moreover, with Ye Chen's strength, even Di Tian couldn't stop him from escaping.

The only problem is Zhang Lexuan.

However, if Di Tian were to disregard martial ethics and attack Zhang Lexuan, Ye Chen could instantly seize the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to threaten Di Tian.

Of course, Ye Chen didn't really want this to happen.

"Sister, a spirit beast seems to have been attracted by the aroma here."

Ye Chen said casually while eating his food.

"What! A soul beast that's tens of thousands of years old?"

Zhang Lexuan was startled and quickly asked.

"Yes, it's a 15,000-year-old soul beast, but its overall combat strength should be around 100,000 years."

Ye Chen's tone remained calm, showing no sign of nervousness whatsoever.

"What! Ten thousand years... and you're still so calm!"

Zhang Lexuan panicked on the spot, suddenly stood up from the ground, her soul power surging around her, and instantly entered battle mode.

"Don't worry, sister. This soul beast is quite special and is unlikely to harm people on its own. It won't pose a threat to us."

Ye Chen smiled and waved his hand, signaling Zhang Lexuan to calm down, "It was attracted here, perhaps because it smelled the delicious food..."

Ye Chen remembered that although the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was powerful, it would not actively harm people, since its food was only the brain marrow of light-type soul beasts.

Different soul beasts have different personalities. Some soul beasts are bloodthirsty and cruel, and coupled with their hatred for humans, they even like to eat people.

Some soul beasts, on the other hand, have a more docile nature, such as the Soft-Boned Charming Rabbit and other herbivorous soul beasts.

Although the Three-Eyed Golden Lion is not a herbivorous soul beast, it belongs to the latter category and is not bloodthirsty.

Of course, if you anger it, it can be quite fierce.

Ye Chen already has the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor, so the Three-Eyed Golden Lion is really not qualified as his soul spirit. However, if he could take it in as a pet, or trick the Three-Eyed Golden Lion into transforming into human form... those would be very good options.

Therefore, Ye Chen did not intend to antagonize the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

"What? There are such soul beasts? How come I've never heard of them before?" Zhang Lexuan was taken aback upon hearing this.

In her view, the hatred between soul beasts and humans is irreconcilable; they are mortal enemies, and most soul beasts will attack humans on sight.

How could any spirit beast possibly live peacefully with humans?

Although she thought this way, she also believed that Ye Chen wouldn't lie to her, so she slowly suppressed her fighting spirit and aura, while looking in the direction Ye Chen was looking, feeling a strange sense of anticipation and curiosity...

As the two were talking, the three-eyed golden lion had already rushed into the bushes at the edge of the hillside.

A rustling sound rang out as the bushes parted.

A large, golden head, resembling a giant lion, emerged. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was naturally majestic, and its extraordinary nature was immediately apparent to anyone who saw it.

Especially those intelligent and lively eyes, which were now fixed intently on the few pieces of roasted meat on the grill, emitting a rich aroma.

It twitched its nose gently, a glistening substance at the corner of its mouth, and made a soft "gurgling" sound in its throat, while its tail swished incessantly.

However, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion quickly noticed something amiss and its gaze immediately locked onto Ye Chen and Zhang Lexuan.

The longing in his eyes faded somewhat, replaced by a hint of wariness.

"What, want some?"

Ye Chen took a large skewer of grilled meat, gently shook it in his hand, and golden oil dripped down, emitting a rich and tempting aroma.

"Gulu..."

The three-eyed golden lion whimpered and nodded slightly, clearly showing that it was really craving it.

Of course, the main reason is that it did not perceive any hostility.

Di Tian always told it about the cruelty and evil of humans and prevented it from coming into contact with them.

This was its first real close encounter with a human soul master. Although it did not believe that Di Tian would deceive it, it trusted its intuition and did not think that the two weak humans in front of it could harm it.

Moreover, it has almost never shown itself to humans, nor does it believe that the humans in front of it would recognize its identity as an auspicious beast.

Perhaps in the eyes of the other party, it is just an ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.

"It's fate that we met, so let's eat."

Ye Chen smiled and casually tossed a large skewer of roasted meat toward the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, which was ten meters away.

"Ouch——"

The three-eyed golden lion's golden eyes suddenly lit up. It opened its mouth wide and swallowed the whole skewer of grilled meat, bamboo stick and all. It chewed it thoroughly and swallowed it quickly.

After finishing its meal, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked at Ye Chen longingly again, its golden eyes now brimming with an irrepressible craving for the food, and its mouth watered uncontrollably…

They clearly love it and want more!
The skewer of roasted meat that Ye Chen threw out was quite large for Ye Chen, but for the three-eyed golden lion, which was over three meters tall, it was only enough to fill its teeth.

However, Ye Chen did not continue feeding it. Instead, he looked at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion with a smile and said, "Hehe, I didn't expect that the legendary imperial auspicious beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, would be such a gluttonous little beast."

"Whoop!!!"

Upon hearing this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion immediately bristled, baring its teeth at Ye Chen. The fawning look in its eyes vanished instantly, replaced by intense vigilance and hostility.

At the same time, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was even more shocked.

It has almost never appeared in front of humans, so why can this human Soul Master instantly identify its true identity?

There's definitely something fishy going on here!
"Don't be nervous, I mean you no harm. If I did, I would have poisoned the barbecue you just ate."

He shrugged and smiled reassuringly.

Three-Eyed Golden Lion: ...

"vomit--"

The three-eyed golden lion opened its mouth, trying to spit out the roasted meat it had just eaten.

Unfortunately, the roasted meat was far too small for its body. In less than a minute, it had been digested into bits and pieces, which it could only excrete but not vomit up...

This is a bit uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, the food I give you is definitely not poisonous."

Ye Chen smiled and comforted.

"Human, you..."

The three-eyed golden lion was immediately enraged and spoke in human language, glaring angrily at Ye Chen!

Although it looks fierce, when paired with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's delicate voice, which sounds like a little girl's, its face appears exceptionally cute, both cute and fierce.
