Douluo Continent, I, Huo Yuhao, defy fate with my spiritual eyes.

Chapter 148 The Proud and Auspicious Beast

Many spirit beasts watched this scene with a chill running down their spines.

Is Di Tian going to kill one of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts before the Soul Spirit Project has even begun?!

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion watched as Zi Ji, who had always doted on him, was about to die on the spot. It wanted to speak up and dissuade her, but seeing Di Tian's indifferent expression, it knew that Di Tian had already made his decision and no one could dissuade him.

Zi Ji also closed her eyes. Ever since she decided to oppose the Soul Spirit Project and instigated Xiong Jun, she had considered the worst possible outcome.

Emperor Tian would not tolerate anyone offending his authority, especially not his closest confidant. This was the authority that a leader had to uphold.

She still chose to do this simply so that the soul beasts wouldn't be misled by human sweet talk.

The Dragon King's Claw was halfway down when it transformed into a fist, unleashing a powerful punch. Di Tian did not kill Zi Ji, but instead severely injured her.

A mouthful of purple blood spurted out, and Zi Ji's aura weakened.

Di Tian slowly raised his head and looked around.

"You know how powerful humanity is today, especially after we saw all sorts of powerful new soul tools during the last rescue of the mythical beast."

Biji, the Demon King, and the Red King slowly raised their heads, naturally sensing something different about the invading humans.

With the emergence of various soul tools, humanity has become increasingly powerful, making it easier and easier to invade their territory.

A sense of sorrow arose; was the future of soul beasts truly doomed?

Di Tian continued speaking.

"It's undeniable that the development of our soul beast strength is far inferior to that of humans, and humans are worried about the bleak future of soul masters after the extinction of soul beasts. The Soul Spirit Project is the best way to solve this situation!"

Biji, the Demon King, and the Red King remained silent, but their moods had clearly improved.

"Regardless of whether we can truly solve the problem of humans hunting soul beasts, whether humans have any tricks up their sleeves or not, we can buy more breathing time for the soul beasts."

A large hole was torn open in her shoulder, and dark soul power continued to erode the wound, preventing it from healing. Dark purple blood kept gushing out, and Zi Ji's face grew increasingly pale and weak.

But upon hearing Di Tian's words, Zi Ji suddenly smiled.

It turns out that Di Tian hadn't overlooked this possibility; he had thought even further ahead than I had!

Xiong Jun lay prone, his small, dark yellow eyes blinking, not quite understanding what Di Tian was saying.

"This matter concerns the future of the Star Dou Great Forest, and I will not allow anyone to sabotage it. As for this instance, considering it's the first offense and the difficulty of cultivation for soul beasts, I will only punish them lightly as a warning!"

The sound echoed in the ears of all the soul beasts. Xiong Jun raised his head in surprise, his little eyes shining brightly. He thought he was going to die today!

Then Di Tian grabbed Xiong Jun by the neck and lifted him up.

Xiong Jun dared not resist. Although he was brainless, he knew that if he resisted now, he would be kicking his brains under Di Tian's blade and crying out for Di Tian to kill him.

Di Tian approached, his golden pupils fixed on Xiong Jun with boundless majesty, staring at the small, dark yellow eyes that were now filled with fear.

"But if any of you dare to obstruct the Soul Project again, then use your blood and souls to quell my anger!"

The next moment, Xiong Jun was thrown out, crashing through countless giant trees before falling heavily to the ground.

Soon, the larger beast kings, such as the Crimson King, returned to their clans and organized some of the soul beasts of middle to low lifespan who were nearing the end of their lives or who had suffered serious injuries.

After discussing with the Silver Dragon King, Huo Yuhao decided to build the Spirit Transmission Tower as an organization to carry out the Soul Spirit Project, with Soul Beasts occupying a certain number of seats and supervising the transmission of spirits.

Shrek Academy and the Body Sect jointly dispatched a large number of construction teams to build the magic arrays and buildings needed for the Spirit Transmission Ritual on the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.

During the preparation period, Huo Yuhao stayed in the Star Dou Great Forest to mediate any potential conflicts.

Moreover, she also serves as a nanny.

Huo Yuhao rubbed his head helplessly, looking at the three-eyed golden lion that followed closely behind him, never leaving his side. He was both annoyed and amused.

For no apparent reason, the Silver Dragon King stuffed this dazed auspicious beast into his hands. This was a matter of destiny for the Star Dou Great Forest! Did he really trust him so much?

But does he remember that he wasn't a villain who blackmailed and coerced a beautiful woman with a child and abducted a young child named Long Yi? How did he become like this?

The three-eyed golden lion shrunk to the size of a kitten. Sunlight shone on its soft fur, casting a dazzling and beautiful golden-red glow. It stepped on Huo Yuhao's shadow step by step.

Although I don't know why Brother Di Tian told me to have more contact with this human, this hateful human was scared by me a few times and actually thought I was playing with him!

What's even more despicable is that he actually—he actually did that kind of thing to me! It's outrageous! I'll stomp on his shadow! I'll crush him!

You really can't blame Huo Yuhao for this; after all, with his current strength, the Three-Eyed Golden-Faced Man is no match for him.

Especially since the three-eyed golden-faced woman was only trying to scare him, attacking him with only a portion of her strength, the blows were barely noticeable, and Huo Yuhao even thought she was scratching his back.

Being served by this fluffy, beautiful, and adorable auspicious beast, Huo Yuhao felt too embarrassed to be indifferent and immediately picked it up and began to act like a devoted servant.

Touching its head, scratching its chin, rubbing its belly—the mythical beast had never experienced anything like this before. It comfortably transformed into an engine, making a gurgling sound.

Although Huo Yuhao was scratched several times by the auspicious beast after the event, the beast completely became Huo Yuhao's little shadow, occasionally giving him a back massage.

Huo Yuhao responded with the three ultimate moves of shoveling poop: the auspicious beast felt comfortable, the auspicious beast felt embarrassed and annoyed, the auspicious beast scratched him, the auspicious beast ran away, and the auspicious beast came back to continue being his little shadow.

And so it has continued to this day.

After finishing his work, Huo Yuhao stretched, his bones cracking and popping.

I always feel that being with auspicious beasts improves my work efficiency and makes many things go more smoothly.

Huo Yuhao stroked his chin. Is this the effect of the Divine Beast of Luck?

He had considered establishing a connection of destiny with the auspicious beast, but if he forced it, the goodwill he had built with the beast would probably be reset to zero.

I'm a little reluctant to part with this adorable mascot, so I'll continue to build a closer relationship and see if I can trick the three-eyed golden-faced creature into actively connecting with my luck.

Huo Yuhao grinned mischievously, while the three-eyed golden-faced man behind him sneezed and looked around blankly.

I have a feeling that someone is plotting against me!

Before he could think, Huo Yuhao scooped him up with his large hand, holding him in his arms with one hand and gently scratching his chin with the other.

A sense of comfort that permeated the very soul made the auspicious beast involuntarily squint its eyes.

Damn humans, they've used this evil magic to paralyze my mind again. Once I recover, I'll make them pay!

While scratching, Huo Yuhao suddenly realized that he hadn't grilled fish in a long time and was getting a little itchy, so he looked down and asked the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

"Would you like some grilled fish?"
