Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 74, Page 71—Return to the Stars

As expected, the actions of a master who has mastered the laws of space are extraordinary. In the blink of an eye, Di Tian had already led Qian Lingyun across a thousand miles back to the Star Dou Great Forest. However, Qian Renxue's soul ring has not yet been fully absorbed.

Upon seeing Di Tian return to the Star Dou Great Forest, the three-headed Crimson Demon Hound, Crimson King, slowly stepped forward and whispered, "Di Tian, ​​you're back!"

"Hmm!" Di Tian nodded slightly, looking at the three-eyed golden lion feasting on the head of the Fiery Dragon, and sighed, rubbing his forehead. "You stay here to look after these two humans and the auspicious beast. I have some things to take care of!"

"We have fulfilled our mission, Emperor Tian." The three large heads of the Crimson King looked at each other and nodded earnestly to Emperor Tian.

After speaking, Di Tian disappeared from in front of the Crimson King, transforming into a black streak of light and flashing towards the deepest part of the Star Dou Great Forest.

After landing, Qian Lingyun couldn't wait to have Qian Renxue eat the immortal herbs with her, but seeing that Qian Renxue was still sitting cross-legged on the ground absorbing the soul ring, she could only idly pet the three-eyed golden lion that was still burying its head in its rice!

"You're so annoying! I'm eating!" The three-eyed golden lion, whose head was being held down, bared its teeth and growled at Qian Lingyun impatiently, while its golden tail lightly brushed against Qian Lingyun's waist.

Surprisingly, even though the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's head had burrowed into the Brightfire Dragon's skull, her mouth remained clean, without a trace of blood.

"Alright, alright, you eat first. I brought you a little gift! I'm sure you'll like it!" Qian Lingyun squinted and rubbed the three-eyed golden lion's head, affectionately pinching its nose.

"Ugh! Human, you've offended me again! Even if you brought me a gift, interrupting my meal isn't over!"

The three-eyed golden lion, its fur standing on end, pretended to be fierce and bit Qian Lingyun's hand, letting out a very frightening whimper. Qian Lingyun also cooperated by making an exaggerated shout.

"..."

The Red King, standing to the side, was utterly speechless...

About fifteen minutes later, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion finally finished eating. Full of energy, she leaped up and pounced on Qian Lingyun, pinning her to the ground. While washing Qian Lingyun's face with her tongue, she said in a sweet voice:

"Human, where's the gift you promised me?! Give it to me! Give it to me, I want a gift! A gift!"

"Hehehe, what's the rush?! Let's go together after my sister finishes absorbing her spirit ring!" Qian Lingyun chuckled, hooking her arm around the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's neck and leaping onto its back in a flash.

Gradually, the black light surrounding Qian Renxue dimmed until it disappeared completely. Qian Renxue sprang to her feet and stretched her beautiful figure.

She muttered a few words to herself, and when she looked up, she saw Qian Lingyun lying on the back of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, watching her with great interest.

"Looks like things are going pretty smoothly. What level are you now?" Qian Lingyun suddenly sat up straight, made a cute face, and said, "Counting the accumulation over the past few months and that Yin-Yang Twin Flower Soul Ring with double the lifespan, I'm almost level 45 now. What about you!?"

"Heh, I broke through a few months before you. Although this soul ring isn't as old as yours, it's still level 44." Qian Renxue quietly looked at Qian Lingyun for a while, seeing that her expression was natural and she didn't seem to have anything on her mind, and whispered, "Is the matter resolved?"

"It's solved, and I even made a fortune along the way. Guess how much I made," Qian Lingyun said, tossing a storage ring used to hold the immortal herb products to Qian Renxue.

"Wow...we've struck it rich!" Qian Renxue quickly checked the contents of the soul guide ring, couldn't help but gasp, then tossed the ring back. "You brought these things back, so you can keep them!"

"Hmm, the more high-quality elixirs we have, the stronger we'll be. These are enough for us to use up to the ninth ring," Qian Lingyun said proudly, putting her hands on her hips as she put her ring back. "You didn't think that was all, did you?"

"What do you mean?" Qian Renxue was slightly taken aback. Looking up, she saw Qian Lingyun's sly smile. She said, "My dear sister, this is nothing! The truly valuable things are all inside my door! I'm not bragging, but come with me, and you'll be a Soul King in no time!"

"Hiss, judging from your tone, you actually dug those things up?" Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow, her lips twitching slightly, and asked, "How much did you dig up?"

"All of them!" Qian Lingyun's words were astonishing!

"All of them..." Qian Renxue froze on the spot, sighing, "It still has to be you!"

"Hey, I, Qian Lingyun, may not have any other skills, but I'm damn good at stealing!" Qian Lingyun gave a wicked smile, pulled the unsuspecting Qian Renxue onto the back of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, patted its back gently, and said softly, "Come on, let's go get something good to eat now!"

"What good stuff?" the three-eyed golden lion asked curiously, looking up.

"Kids shouldn't worry about so much, as long as it's a good thing!" Qian Lingyun raised her hand and turned the three-eyed golden lion's head back to its normal position, and began to mutter a spell.

After a short but extremely obscure incantation, a gray door appeared out of thin air. The two people and one beast were about to enter when they were blocked by a crimson figure.

"Red King, why are you stopping me? Do I have to take orders from others to go where I want to go?" the Three-Eyed Golden Lion questioned with dissatisfaction.

"Mythical beasts, you can go wherever you want in the Star Dou Great Forest, but you can't leave the Star Dou Forest! If something happens, I can't bear the responsibility!" The three-headed Crimson Demon Hound looked at the three-eyed Golden Lion nervously, like a heartfelt old father, almost telling the three-eyed Golden Lion that it was not allowed to go.

"Senior Crimson King, if you're worried about the auspicious beast coming with us, why can't you come with us? With you coming with us, there won't be any problems, right?" Qian Renxue tilted her head and asked curiously.

"Oh... traveling with you? This... this..."

This question seemed quite profound. The Red King's three large heads huddled together and discussed it for a long time before finally nodding honestly and saying, "If I go with you, that's fine."

"Fine, then follow me! Hmph, you bastard, I don't like you anymore," the Three-Eyed Golden Lion snorted coldly, walking past the Red King with a fierce face like a spoiled young lady, and even childishly flicking the Red King's calf with its tail.

Seeing her awkward expression, the Red King was both annoyed and amused, but knowing that this little darling was just like that, he had no choice but to follow her into the gray gate.

After a brief period of darkness, a bone-chilling wind blew in, causing even the fire-attribute Crimson King to shiver. His three large heads turned around, curiously examining his surroundings.

This is a dimly lit world. A strange sun hangs in the sky, its entire body black, radiating an eerie purple light. The terrain is undulating, and as far as the eye can see, it is barren, devoid of any vegetation; the earth is all black, like ink-stained soil. A chilling aura emanates from all directions.

Ahead of him stretched a barren hilly landscape, beyond which nothing could be seen. Behind him stood a large gate, from which he appeared to have emerged.

At the top of the hill, the three-eyed golden lion and the two people on its back were watching him, seemingly waiting for him to arrive. Helpless, the Red King had no choice but to bite the bullet and rush up.
