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

"Relax, I'm here."

Ye Chen patted the Three-Eyed Golden Lion on the back and said with a smile.

The three-eyed golden lion nodded and then walked towards the city gate.

As the three-eyed golden lion approached, it immediately attracted the attention of many people.

However, this world has a large number of spirit beasts, which naturally led to the creation of many mounts.

Although the Three-Eyed Golden Lion is eye-catching, no one considers it a soul beast; it is simply regarded as a special kind of mount.

If the Three-Eyed Golden Lion doesn't speak, it still appears quite fierce, and many people quickly retreated a distance upon seeing this.

Normally, such mounts must be approved and have a special mount certificate to enter the city.

But Ye Chen showed his Shrek Academy student badge.

Upon seeing this, the guards at the city gate naturally let them pass without hesitation.

Students of Shrek Academy enjoy extremely high privileges within Shrek City, one of which is bringing their own pets or mounts.

Although this privilege is rarely used, because few students have the time or inclination to raise mounts and pets.

But the privilege is this: I may not use it, but I cannot be without it...

Shrek Academy has already granted you all the privileges you can; whether you use them or not is up to you.

Ye Chen just happened to need it, which naturally saved him a lot of trouble.

……

Ye Chen rode the three-eyed golden lion and soon arrived at the Tang Clan's base.

"Got home."

Ye Chen jumped off the back of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

The next moment, Ye Chen casually waved his hand.

"Crash-"

With a soft sound, a small hill suddenly appeared out of thin air in the open space in the center of the courtyard.

A small mountain made entirely of all sorts of colorful snacks.

Potato chips, jerky, candy, chocolate, sandwich cookies, jelly, puffed snacks... colorful packaging reflects an enticing glow in the setting sun.

Although the packaging was intact, the rich aroma of the snacks still filled the air instantly, forcefully penetrating the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's nostrils.

The three eyes of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion widened instantly, its pupils clearly reflecting the "sacred mountain" that exuded ultimate allure.

"Gu..."

The three-eyed golden lion swallowed hard, saliva uncontrollably dripping down the corner of its mouth.

It looked at Ye Chen, then at the mountain of snacks, its eyes filled with unbelievable ecstasy.

"These...these are all for me..."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was so excited that it became incoherent.

"Yes, this will be your home from now on. You'll have all your meals and accommodation provided, and snacks will be plentiful."

Ye Chen said boldly.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion has a large appetite; it not only needs snacks but also requires a lot of meat every day.

Fortunately, the Tang Sect has made a lot of money recently, which is more than enough to support a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.

"Ouch——!!!"

The three-eyed golden lion finally confirmed that this was not an illusion and let out a cheer.

The next moment, the three-eyed golden lion transformed into streaks of golden lightning and pounced into the pile of snacks with a "whoosh".

It excitedly nudged with its head, pawed at it, and even rolled around inside, burying itself deep inside, leaving only its furry rear end and a large tail that swung wildly like a windmill.

Various plastic bags made a crisp "clattering" sound under its claws.

Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.

It's best if the Three-Eyed Golden Lion doesn't transform into human form, otherwise it might end up like Hyotei, a huge glutton, and might even try to steal food from Hyotei...

Both of them are possessive of their food, so a fight is inevitable.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion is definitely going to be utterly crushed by Hyotei...

Of course, the commotion here alerted the people in the courtyard.

"Xiao Chen is back?"

Ye Yunxi's gentle voice came from the side corridor. She was tending to a few potted plants when she heard the voice and came out. She saw Ye Chen, a small mountain of snacks, and a golden-haired beast with its butt sticking out.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan also came out of a room that resembled a conference room.

There weren't many classes in the inner courtyard, similar to the university in Ye Chen's previous life, so there was a lot of free time. When they didn't have classes, they would stay here. "Hey, such a big dog, where did it come from?"

Tang Ya was immediately drawn to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's magnificent golden fur and unique appearance, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise as she quickly walked over.

"I'm not a dog, I'm a mythical beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion!"

Upon hearing this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was immediately displeased and turned to glare at Tang Ya.

"Ah! This...this...this big dog can actually talk!" Tang Ya was startled and quickly hid behind Ye Chen, looking completely astonished.

Not only Tang Ya, but Ye Yunxi and Jiang Nannan were also startled.

After all, it was the first time they had ever seen an animal talk.

"Let me introduce you. This is the auspicious beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. It is a type of soul beast that brings good luck. From now on, it will be our Tang Sect's mascot and guardian beast. You must treat it well and not neglect it."

Ye Chen quickly explained.

"Soul beast?"

"mascot?"

"No wonder it can talk, it's amazing..."

Ye Yunxi and the other two covered their mouths, clearly utterly shocked.

After all, it was the first time they had ever seen a soul beast that could speak human language, so they were naturally very curious.

Moreover, judging from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's gluttonous appearance, although it looked exceptionally brave and imposing, it didn't seem very intelligent at all...

Ye Chen looked at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion again, rubbed its big head, and laughed, "Alright, don't be mean to it. We'll all be family from now on. Besides, I'll be away sometimes, and they'll be in charge of your meals."

"Hmm... okay..."

The three-eyed golden lion puffed out its cheeks, memorized the scents of Ye Yunxi and the other two, and then buried its head in the pile of snacks again, starting to eat heartily.

Although the packaging is inedible, spirit beasts have strong digestive abilities, so the Three-Eyed Golden Lion didn't really care and put it all into its mouth...

"Pfft..."

Tang Ya couldn't help but laugh at its silly, adorable, and greedy appearance. The slight fear she had felt earlier quickly melted away. "It...it only knows how to eat, and it's covered in food..."

Jiang Nannan's tense body relaxed, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily curved up: "It seems... that there is indeed no threat?"

Seeing that the three-eyed golden lion was only focused on eating and seemed completely unconcerned about their approach, Tang Ya became bolder.

She cautiously took two steps forward, tentatively reaching out to gently touch the smooth, silky golden fur on the three-eyed golden lion's rump.

It feels warm and substantial to the touch, with a unique sense of comfort.

"My God! This feel!"

Tang Ya exclaimed in delight, and couldn't help but stroke it a couple more times, as if she were petting an extremely valuable pet, "It feels so good!"

Jiang Nannan's curiosity was piqued as well. She stepped forward and, seeing the three-eyed golden lion engrossed in its work, boldly reached out her hand. Her fingertips gently brushed against the softer down on its neck.

The three-eyed golden lion felt the touch, lazily glanced at her, and made an unintelligible "gurgling" sound in its throat, as if to say, "Don't disturb my meal."

Then it lowered its head again and continued its snack business.

This tacit approval made Jiang Nannan relax, and she reached out and gave him a good rub, immediately squinting her eyes in comfort.

This feels amazing; no wonder so many expensive clothes are made from the fur of spirit beasts.

If we could cut off some of this little beast's golden fur to make clothes, towels, blankets, or something, it would definitely be very comfortable to sleep on.

Ye Chen was quite satisfied to see how well-behaved the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was.

He nodded and looked at Ye Yunxi, saying, "Yes, Auntie, I'll have to trouble you to take care of it from now on. Please arrange a separate room for it, and as for its food, please arrange for someone to deliver it every day."

"The auspicious beast's fortune can radiate to those around it. If you get along well with it, you will also receive good luck."

Ye Chen wasn't just saying that randomly.

Luck is a mysterious thing, but it's not entirely unfounded.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's aura makes it easier for soul beasts to overcome the great tribulation that occurs once every 10 years.

As for humans, although the effect is not so obvious, it still has some use. As a mascot for the sect, it is much better than those inanimate sculptures.

"Okay, okay, leave it to me."

Ye Yunxi smiled and agreed, her eyes softening as she looked at the golden creature wriggling among the snacks. "Such a beautiful little guy, I'll take good care of its food and shelter."

"That's good~"

Ye Chen smiled, then grabbed a handful of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, basking in its good fortune, before entering the room...

Start today's check-in.
