The auspicious beast was also lying with its eyes closed beside a boulder, seemingly resting. Upon hearing their approaching voices, its two golden ears immediately perked up, and it opened its golden eyes wide to look in their direction.
Upon seeing Huo Yuhao, the mythical beast's two golden eyes lit up, and it charged towards Huo Yuhao with incredible speed.
In the blink of an eye, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion stopped in front of Huo Yuhao and looked up at Di Tian.
"Di Tian, may I take him with me?"
"No."
Di Tian was puzzled as to why the auspicious beast had suddenly become interested in Huo Yuhao, but he still refused the beast's request.
"Then I'll ask him a few questions." With that, the three-eyed golden lion turned to look at Huo Yuhao. "Huo Yuhao, is your name Huo Yuhao?"
Huo Yuhao looked at the three-eyed golden lion, which resembled a lion, with great interest. "Hmm, what brings you here?"
The three-eyed golden lion asked menacingly, "Why can you control the power of fate?"
Huo Yuhao understood; so that's what it was about.
He was able to gain the power of destiny, of course, thanks to you.
Huo Yuhao, of course, wouldn't say that. He countered, "Why not?"
The three-eyed golden lion paced back and forth, carefully observing Huo Yuhao, and sneered, "You must have stolen my power through attribute attraction!"
Huo Yuhao said, "As a Beast of Destiny, you should know that the power of destiny only descends upon those it favors. No matter what methods others use, they can never control even a trace of its power. I can control the power of destiny because destiny chose me, not because I stole the power of destiny from you."
"Do you understand?"
The three-eyed golden lion was stunned, because she felt that what the human in front of her said made a lot of sense.
She immediately felt wronged, "Why is it that you're the one who received the power from me, and you use it more skillfully than I do?"
Of course, it's because I hang up too much.
Looking at the silly roe deer, Huo Yuhao thought for a moment and coaxed, "Maybe it's because I'm a man and you're a woman, and the power of fate is more sexist?"
"Hmm? Is that really the case?" The auspicious beast felt that something about this explanation was off, yet it also made perfect sense.
Di Tian glanced at Huo Yuhao, whose lips couldn't help but curl up, and said calmly, "Rui Shou, he's lying to you. Remember, don't easily believe his words in the future. With your experience, it would be easy for him to deceive you."
The mythical beast glared at Huo Yuhao, "Human, how dare you lie to me?"
Huo Yuhao looked at the auspicious beast in front of him, its head held high and its fur shimmering like crystal. He couldn't help but reach out and, taking advantage of the beast's unpreparedness, rubbed its head once again.
"Human!" Flames erupted from the three-eyed golden lion's body as it shook its head, trying to break free from Huo Yuhao's grasp.
But Huo Yuhao continued to rub the three-eyed golden lion's head, unafraid of her flames, and said with a smile, "You don't know, in our human world, gently rubbing someone's head is a way of expressing apology, so I'm apologizing to you. Besides, your fur is so smooth, and you're so beautiful, it's only natural that I can't help but want to pet you."
Upon hearing this, the three-eyed golden lion gradually extinguished its flames and ceased its resistance, its golden eyes filled with confusion.
"Is that how it is? But why don't you remember this?"
Huo Yuhao coughed lightly and said, "Of course it's true, but this method is only suitable for the closest people. Our fates will be intertwined in the future, and we both have each other's memories, so we can say that we are the people who understand each other the most. Therefore, I have long regarded you as one of the most important people, which is why I used this method of apology."
"Don't you consider me the most important person?" Huo Yuhao paused in rubbing the auspicious beast dog's head, a hint of disappointment welling up in his purple eyes.
"I...I," the three-eyed golden lion stammered, looking ashamed. It lowered its head and whispered, "I will consider you one of the most important people in my life from now on."
"Then can I touch you anytime in the future?" Huo Yuhao revealed his true intentions.
The three-eyed golden lion's golden eyes showed resistance as it said, "No, even the most important person shouldn't be touched casually."
Huo Yuhao wanted to continue his deception, but was interrupted by Di Tian.
"Huo Yuhao, it's time for you to go."
Seeing this, Di Tian realized that if he didn't interrupt Huo Yuhao soon, the auspicious beast would be completely swindled. Thinking of this, a hint of weariness appeared in his golden eyes.
This silly child, I just warned him not to trust the other party, and then he was completely fooled.
It seems we need to strengthen the education of auspicious beasts in preventing fraud in the future.
Huo Yuhao had no choice but to bid farewell to the auspicious beast: "I will come back to see you in the future!"
As the Three-Eyed Golden Lion watched Huo Yuhao and Di Tian leave, an idea popped into her mind.
Could she go to the human world to find him? With the guidance of fate, she would definitely find him.
Huo Yuhao left with a smile on his face. He thought that if the auspicious beast really transformed into a human in the future, he could trick it into having twenty children with him.
Wang Qiu'er in the original novel wasn't this stupid. Could it be that she was influenced by Tang Wutong's soul? Or did she stop being stupid after digesting her own memories from the original novel?
Or perhaps, Wang Qiu'er's straightforwardness and aloofness in the original work were actually a cover for her intellectual shortcomings.
Huo Yuhao felt he had discovered the truth.
Upon exiting the perilous place, Huo Yuhao saw Cai Meier anxiously waiting, while Xian Lin'er—
Above the Starry Sky Forest, cyan and dark red clashed intermittently, accompanied by the roars of dragons and the angry shouts of the Crimson King.
"Human, I already said your disciple is fine! You don't believe me, but don't you believe in Di Tian's credibility?"
"Hmph, I just want to beat you up today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a bright blue light suddenly shone in the sky, and a giant blue dragon suddenly rose up. The blue light filled the sky as if it were burning with blue flames, and a dragon claw slammed towards the Crimson King on the other side.
The Crimson King was slammed to the ground by this claw, and the earth immediately resounded with a booming sound.
The Azure Flame Dragon, having achieved a decisive victory, wanted to continue its pursuit, but Di Tian gave a soft shout:
"That's enough. I've brought your disciple. You can leave now."
The azure dragon in the sky vanished instantly, revealing Xian Lin'er within. Seeing Huo Yuhao unharmed, a look of joy appeared on her usually aloof face.
She walked to Huo Yuhao's side, her eyes warily watching Di Tian.
Di Tian stopped paying attention to Xian Lin'er and looked with his golden eyes at the dust and smoke kicked up by the falling Crimson King.
Red King emerged from the dust and smoke, looking disheveled, and said respectfully, "Boss, ever since you left with those two humans five days ago, those two human women have been picking fights with me every day. I've been too exhausted, and I'm no match for them sometimes."
Di Tian coldly glanced at Xian Lin'er and said to the Crimson King, "A loss is a loss. Go back and cultivate properly."
Having said that, a black aura swirled around Di Tian, engulfing the Crimson King and causing him to disappear.

Chapter 263 Wang Dong's Anxiety
263.
In this ominous place, after Huo Yuhao left with Di Tian, Xiong Jun, with a fierce expression, stared at the direction of the exit, his eyes gleaming with malice.
The Demon King, who had been hidden in the mist, revealed himself this time, showing a strange face, especially his dark eyes, which added to his sinister charm.
"Bear Lord, you should stop thinking about targeting that human. Di Tian said that he is a distinguished guest of our master, and you should be aware of his status."
Xiong Jun snorted coldly and said, "So you offered up your people to please that human? You can do it, but I can't."
The Demon King's tone also turned cold. "Xiao Wan is unable to survive the two hundred thousand year tribulation. Following that human to test the soul-spirit method that Di Tian mentioned might not be a bad thing. I'm just reminding you that if you remain stubborn, Di Tian will not tolerate you."
After saying this, the Demon King disappeared into the mist and returned to his clan's territory.
Shrek City, a manor sits on the south side of the city, its gate carved with a black hammer.
This is the Clear Sky Sect's base in Shrek City. The manor is sparsely populated, with only a dozen or so Clear Sky Sect disciples.
Inside the main house of the manor, Niu Tian Titan sat high in the main seat, while a young man from the Haotian Sect dressed in black knelt on one knee and reported to the two:
"Reporting to the Sect Master, according to Shrek Academy, the Young Sect Master is not currently in Shrek City. He has been taken by his teacher to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt souls."
"Oh? The girl is already level 30 so quickly?" Niu Tian put down his teacup, looking surprised.
Titan's eyes lit up with excitement as he said, "Girl, with your talent, as long as you're willing to work hard at training, leveling up will be a breeze. Big brother, there's no need to be surprised."
Niu Tian shook his head. No matter how talented he was, it was impossible to improve by nearly ten levels in four or five months. So, he must have obtained some kind of opportunity at Shrek Academy.
He didn't ask the Haotian Sect disciples below for details, but instead asked, "Have you found out anything about that Huo Yuhao?"
"Reporting to the Sect Master, this is all the information I have gathered about Huo Yuhao."
The Haotian Sect disciple touched the soul tool, and a page of paper filled with writing appeared in his hand, which he held up with both hands.
Niu Tian grabbed the page in mid-air with his right hand, and it floated into his hand. He stared at it intently, then choked on his water, his eyes wide with shock.
"Wu Tong's roommate? Suspected of having an inappropriate male-male relationship with Wu Tong?"
"What did you say, brother?" Titan's eyes widened upon hearing this, and he reached out to snatch the paper from Niu Tian's hand.
Niu Tian glared at Titan, who withdrew his outstretched hand and mumbled, "Brother, you only said half of what you meant. I'm also curious about the relationship between that kid and that girl."
Niu Tian ignored Titan, frowned, looked at the Haotian Sect disciples below, and asked, "Where did you get this information?"
"Reporting to the Sect Master, this information was obtained from other students at Shrek Academy and from other forces," the disciple replied truthfully.
"As a disciple of the Haotian Sect, don't you know that Xiaodong is a girl?"
The Haotian Sect disciple whispered, "But that's how it's recorded in the intelligence reports of other forces."
Niu Tian rubbed his temples. "Alright, alright, you can leave now."
The Haotian Sect disciple finally breathed a sigh of relief and left the hall.
Once only Niu Tian and Titan were inside, Titan finally couldn't help but ask, "Big brother, what exactly happened? Could it be that the girl really is with that Huo Yuhao?"
Niu Tian didn't answer immediately. Instead, he picked up the paper again and looked at it once more before tossing it to Titan, who was looking on with longing.
