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

"A three-eyed golden lion... What kind of soul beast is this? A ten-thousand-year-old soul beast that can speak human language!!"

Upon hearing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's voice, Zhang Lexuan immediately covered her mouth, utterly astonished.

It should be noted that very few soul beasts can speak, and all of them are super soul beasts that are over 100,000 years old!

This cricket, a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, can actually speak human language, which is truly rare in the world!

"Human, what do you want to do?"

The three-eyed golden lion stared intently at Ye Chen, and slowly retreated, appearing extremely vigilant.

"What do we want? That's what I should be asking you. You've trespassed into my territory and you're asking me?"

Ye Chen glanced at the three golden lions casually, then picked up a skewer of roasted meat and started eating it by himself.

The rich aroma wafted out again, entering the nostrils of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

Soul beasts have an extremely keen sense of smell, and upon smelling the fragrance, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's saliva involuntarily began to flow again...

"I...you..."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion felt a little guilty, but still stubbornly retorted, "Wh...what do you mean your territory? This is the Star Dou Great Forest, our soul beast territory. You came here to hunt soul beasts, and you still have the nerve to say that?!"

As the Three-Eyed Golden Lion spoke, it seemed to have regained its confidence. It raised its head again and said arrogantly, "However, this auspicious beast is kind-hearted. As long as you leave everything behind and leave now, I will not pursue your crime of trespassing into the Star Dou Great Forest, nor will I tell the other powerful soul beasts."

Zhang Lexuan: ……

Ye Chen: ...

"Just say you're craving it, why beat around the bush? It's not like I'm not going to let you have it."

Ye Chen was speechless. He cut off a large piece of roasted meat from the grill and threw it directly at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

"hateful!"

"Ouch!!"

The three-eyed golden lion felt humiliated, but its body obediently caught the chunks of meat, chewing them in large mouthfuls, its mouth dripping with oil.

"Hmm, not bad, very good."

Ye Chen flashed to the side of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and gave it a good ruffled tuft of fur on its head.

Sure enough, it felt amazing to the touch, all fluffy, just like a big golden retriever.

"What are you doing!!!"

The three-eyed golden lion's pupils shrank suddenly, almost causing its heart to stop from being frightened by Ye Chen. The beast's fur stood on end instantly, and it retreated more than ten meters, looking at Ye Chen with an angry expression.

"I am an imperial mythical beast!! How dare you... how dare you touch my head!!!"

However, because it hadn't finished digesting the roasted meat in its mouth, the three-eyed golden lion's cheeks were bulging, making it look exceptionally cute and silly...

"It's nothing. I've heard that auspicious beasts bring good fortune. You ate my food, so isn't it reasonable for me to share in your luck?"

Ye Chen shrugged, not feeling that there was anything wrong with his behavior.

"That won't do either!!"

The three-eyed golden lion swallowed the roasted meat with difficulty and roared at Ye Chen.

"Alright, alright. I was thinking that since you like human food, I would make some more for you, but it seems you don't really like it. Never mind, you can go now."

Ye Chen waved his hand and then took out pieces of marinated food from his storage soul tool.

Ye Chen prepared a huge amount of food for this soul beast hunting trip, enough for him and Zhang Lexuan to live in the forest for more than half a year.

Even if the Three-Eyed Golden Lion has a big appetite, it's impossible for it to devour Ye Chen in one go.

"I……"

The three-eyed golden lion was momentarily choked.

Its eyes were fixed on the various delicacies that Ye Chen kept taking out.

Besides some grilled meat, there were also some bottles, jars, and bags of things. Although it didn't know what they were, it looked delicious and something it had never seen or tasted before.

It has high requirements for food. Although it is a carnivore, it finds ordinary raw meat disgusting, and even cooked meat doesn't taste very good.

Only the brain marrow of a light-type soul beast, whose attributes are similar to hers, can barely be considered delicious.

Today, having tasted human delicacies, it finally understands what true "fine chaff" is; what it ate before was nothing compared to human cuisine.

"Here, these are potato chips, have a taste."

Ye Chen casually tossed a bag of potato chips to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

This stuff was produced by Ye Chen's food processing plant, which he's run for the past six months. While it can't be a perfect replica, it's pretty close. Ye Chen has also invested a significant amount of money in cola and various other beverages.

"Ouch!"

The three-eyed golden lion opened its mouth and bit through the outer packaging.

"boom--"

With a muffled thud, the potato chip exploded in the Three-Eyed Lion's mouth, and the ultimate deliciousness instantly filled its brain.

"Mmm...this tastes so good..."

The three-eyed golden lion narrowed its large golden eyes and even swallowed the smelly paper packaging whole.

After finishing its meal, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion licked its lips, clearly still wanting more and somewhat speechless.

This thing looks like a big package, but there's only a tiny bit inside. The total amount isn't even as much as a skewer of grilled meat.

"Humans have no sense of enjoyment at all. Such delicious food, and they only make such a small amount. It's not even enough to fill a tooth gap," the Three-Eyed Golden Lion thought to itself.

Then it raised its head and looked at Ye Chen longingly again, clearly wanting more food.

However, Ye Chen ignored the Three-Eyed Golden Lion this time and instead skewered the meat for grilling, eating snacks and drinking cola while grilling, completely ignoring the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's pleading look.

However, Ye Chen was secretly laughing.

Sure enough, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's intelligence is still like that of a child.

In the original novel, Wang Qiu'er possessed a high level of intelligence because she merged with a part of Wang Dong's soul. Although she was still love-struck, she was at least not stupid.

The three-eyed golden lion now is practically a complete idiot; although it can speak human language, it's just too naive...

"Hey... don't be so stingy. It's just a little food. You guys are going to hunt soul beasts, right? What kind of soul beast do you want? I can show you the way..."

The three-eyed golden lion came to Ye Chen's side, rubbed its furry bottom against Ye Chen's arm, and muttered softly.

Its gaze, however, was completely drawn to the snacks and drinks beside Ye Chen.

If it didn't have its own dignity, it would definitely have just reached out and asked for it...

As for helping Ye Chen hunt other soul beasts, it didn't care.

After all, in its eyes, only Di Tian and others in the core area were friends; other soul beasts were just food.

"Oh, are you sure?"

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, reached out and landed on the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's head again, pulling hard on its golden fur.

At the same time, with his other hand, he poured a large bottle of iced cola into the mouth of the three-eyed golden lion.

"Slurp slurp... Of course... slurp slurp... I know the Star Dou Great Forest best, slurp slurp... I can definitely find you the most suitable soul beast... hiccup..."

The three-eyed golden lion completely ignored Ye Chen pulling its head, utterly immersed in the unprecedented deliciousness and excitement.

Although it was a bit impolite for Ye Chen to pluck its fur, the guy's technique seemed pretty good, making it feel quite comfortable...

"I won't hold it against you for the sake of the delicious food..." the Three-Eyed Golden Lion thought to itself, and even reached out its claws to grab the various snacks next to Ye Chen.

Seeing that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was sensible enough not to stop him, Ye Chen took out more snacks instead.

Zhang Lexuan, standing to the side, looked at the two, a human and a beast, who were now getting along harmoniously, with a slightly strange expression in her eyes.

At first, she genuinely thought that since this three-eyed golden lion could speak human language at such a high level of cultivation, it must be quite intelligent.

I just realized that this guy is a complete idiot, and a huge glutton too.

In just a few words, Ye Chen had completely fooled her.

"boom--"

Just then, an incredibly terrifying aura suddenly erupted from the distant forest, its power comparable to that of a human Super Douluo.

The next moment, a terrifying three-headed dog soared into the air, its body wreathed in dark red flames, and approached Ye Chen step by step.

Its gaze was fixed on Ye Chen, on the hand that Ye Chen was using to pluck at the head of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

The three ferocious dog heads simultaneously opened, revealing sharp, white teeth, and thick saliva dripped onto the bushes below, making a sizzling, burning sound.

Dark red flames, like flowing lava, coiled around its massive, mountain-like body, scorching and distorting the surrounding air, radiating a suffocating heat and a violent aura.

"Human, release the auspicious beast, or I will spare your life!"

A human dares to provoke an imperial mythical beast; he's utterly courting death!
The red king's central head emitted a hoarse roar, suppressing its violent rage, which shook countless leaves to the ground.
