Having stated his terms without any haggling, the Crimson King left after ensuring the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's safety, leaving behind the four of them and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

Ji Siyuan had no expectation that the Crimson King would bring back the golden hawksbill turtle. The golden hawksbill turtle had stolen the gold of life, and it was unlikely that the Crimson King would be able to summon it back by shouting a couple of times.

It needs to have something like a soul that can attract it, and it can't disturb Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts.

Otherwise, who knows if Di Tian would use it as a spinning top to whip it? He's stolen from the Silver Dragon King!

However, Ji Siyuan underestimated the torment that the living gold would inflict on the golden tortoiseshell.

The Crimson King went back and informed Di Tian of the matter, then called out twice. The golden hawksbill turtle didn't respond until he said he had a way to relieve its suffering, at which point the golden hawksbill turtle appeared.

It's just a ten-thousand-year-old golden tortoiseshell. Even if it has some auspicious symbolism, in the context of the Star Dou Great Forest, the difference between it and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion is really too great.

Even after being controlled by Xuanzi, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was restless and tried to bite twice, but it was suppressed and could not bite anyone at all.

The group curiously surrounded the three-eyed golden lion, but dared not do anything. This was a "beast-like" creature, and nothing could be done about it.

Zhang Lexuan: "Is this the auspicious beast described in the book? It's truly extraordinary."

Huo Yuhao: "So beautiful."

Ji Siyuan: "It's normal for an imperial auspicious beast to be a bit beautiful."

He reached out and placed his hand on the head of the three-eyed golden lion, and unexpectedly, the three-eyed golden lion did not resist at all.

Immediately, the three people around him stared at him—the three of them were bitten as soon as they got close, Huo Yuhao was no exception, so how come only Ji Siyuan could not only get close but also touch him?

On a whim, Ji Siyuan decided to stroke its fur a couple of times. Despite the fine scales, the fur on its body felt quite nice to the touch.

"Human, when do you plan to stop touching me?" the three-eyed golden lion suddenly asked, its voice still quite pleasant.

Huo Yuhao and Zhang Lexuan immediately stood up, preparing for battle. Then they thought again, it was quite normal for auspicious beasts to be able to speak.

"If you don't object, I'll definitely touch you a few more times." Ji Siyuan didn't stop, and even increased the pressure slightly.

"Let go of my hand, human!" The three-eyed golden lion scolded Ji Siyuan, annoyed by being touched so much.

Xuanzi: "Not bad, kid. We don't even let anyone touch this little lion. You're the only one who can touch it normally."

Unlike in the script, the three-eyed golden lion didn't cause any harm this time. Instead, Zhang Lexuan suppressed it and almost crippled it. Xuanzi didn't resort to violence.

"Ancient texts record that where auspicious omens appear, all beasts are protected. Those of the highest rank can be guided by humans. With the protection of auspicious omens, one's future is limitless. Who among you wants to give it a try?" Xuanzi rubbed his hands together, recalling the records in the ancient books.

Including Zhang Lexuan, all three of them are exceptionally talented individuals, and Xuanzi even wanted to guide them all.

"If you dare touch me, I will kill myself immediately!" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion immediately flew into a rage, its resolve unwavering.

This frightened Xuanzi. He hadn't said he wanted to commit suicide even when he was being suppressed and beaten, so why was he making such a fuss about wanting to commit suicide when he was being guided?

Ji Siyuan was speechless. Where did these ancient books come from? They weren't even fully written down. How could one simply summon the power of auspicious beasts?

"You can," Tang San's voice rang out at the right moment. "If it were you, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion might not have chosen to commit suicide."

"Uncle, what do you mean?"

Tang San was also a little hesitant: "When the Three-Eyed Golden Lion said those words just now, its third eye glanced at you."

Looking at the three-eyed golden lion that was breathing wildly, Ji Siyuan was also wondering whether he should do it or not.

"Sigh, in the end, the decision still rests with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. Since it can commit suicide, let's ask it first."

Ji Siyuan squatted down in front of the three-eyed golden lion, looked into its eyes, and whispered, "May I?"

All decisions are left to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, including whether or not to guide the spirit.

Deep within the Starry Sky Forest, golden eyes shone, watching their choices.

The three-eyed golden lion's three eyes blinked wildly, conveying its confusion, rejection, and longing!

There was no answer, and time ticked by without a response. The other three dared not speak either, nervously watching the staring contest between the man and the beast.

The choice was back in Ji Siyuan's hands. His expression was calm: "This might not be a bad thing for you. You can say no if you don't want to. If you see anything, please keep it a secret for me."

Ji Siyuan reached out and stroked the three-eyed golden lion, then slowly moved closer. He gave the three-eyed golden lion enough time to refuse.

The words of refusal lingered in the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's mouth, but she couldn't bring herself to say them. She wanted to try too.

Their foreheads touched, and flames instantly engulfed the surroundings. The intense, scorching fire ignited the two of them, and a strange force repelled the other three.

The entire Star Dou Great Forest was inexplicably filled with joy, and countless soul beasts felt a surge of excitement.

The three-eyed golden lion spoke softly, "You were the one who suggested it, so why are you resisting me? I can't see anything." Its beautiful voice carried a sense of sorrow.

The sword's power severed the connection, rendering the Three-Eyed Golden Lion unworthy to share its fate with him.

Five colors—black, white, gray, purple, and green—were brewing between Ji Siyuan's brows. A faint sword tip slashed out a third eye, which, like the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, had a vertical pupil.

He drew upon the power of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and unleashed the Eye of Destiny. The only problem was that their destinies were originally meant to be shared, but because of the sword, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's power of destiny became a shared pool.

In other words, Ji Siyuan's fate became stronger, but the Three-Eyed Golden Lion remained unchanged.

Ji Siyuan remained silent, still savoring the beastly life of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

The three-eyed golden lion, now active again, immediately bumped into Ji Siyuan and cursed him with its limited vocabulary: "Bad guy!"

Ji Siyuan coughed twice and realized what had just happened.

His face flushed red with shame. He had fully experienced his fate but had given nothing in return.

The jubilant Star Dou Great Forest quieted down. Unable to enjoy the immense power of destiny, it remained in its previous state.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to happen."

Ji Siyuan pondered for a moment, then activated his martial spirit and took a lotus seed.

The Eye of Destiny opened, and a force of destiny gathered on the red lotus seed.

This is not abandonment, but rather another form of sharing. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion will only share this power again after consuming it.

The fate on the lotus seed is half of that shared by the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, which is a force of fate that cannot be ignored by him. This is also the power that his Eye of Fate can arrange the most of.

He suppressed the discomfort from the third eye between his eyebrows and held the lotus seed to the mouth of the three-eyed golden lion: "Be good, open your mouth."

Xuanzi and Zhang Lexuan didn't know what it was, but Huo Yuhao knew perfectly well. There were nine Red Lotus seeds in total, which were extremely precious, not to mention that Ji Siyuan had also blessed them with destiny.

"Siyuan!"

Ji Siyuan was mentally exhausted at the moment, and his attention was entirely on the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, so he did not respond to Huo Yuhao.

The three-eyed golden lion opened its mouth and fed the red lotus seeds into its mouth. Its eyes were fixed on the swaying Ji Siyuan.

The phantom of flames spread throughout the entire Star Dou Great Forest, and no soul beast felt sorrow, only excitement. This was because their cultivation speed had increased by another 50%.

Ji Siyuan felt the shared fate, but only he knew the pain of separation. His squatting body collapsed to the ground.

The three-eyed golden lion tenderly licked his face, growling a warning to the three of them.
