Lin Yun had no intention of keeping the Golden Dragon Spear for himself. Although Di Qiuer seemed eager to "return it to its original owner," he already had the Golden Dragon Death Scythe, so an extra Golden Dragon Spear wouldn't be of much use.
Furthermore, compared to the unadorned, javelin-like Golden Dragon Spear, Lin Yun preferred the high-status Golden Dragon Death Scythe.
Whether something is powerful or not is a temporary matter, but whether it's cool or not is a matter for life.
"Now that you've transformed into a human, what are your plans?" Skipping the topic of the Golden Dragon Spear, Lin Yun asked about the main issue.
"Plans? Of course, I'll be with you forever, Your Highness!" Di Qiuer said without a second thought, her small face filled with attachment.
Hmm... an attachment mixed with a touch of reverence, giving off the vibe of a beloved daughter clinging to her father.
Being so close to Lin Yun in her human form was a brand new experience for Di Qiuer. It was completely different from how she felt in her Three-Eyed Golden Lion form. Especially after fully activating her Golden Dragon bloodline and taking on the Golden Dragon Martial Soul, she felt she wanted to hang on Lin Yun every day.
Lin Yun's aura made her feel comfortable, his bloodline made her feel close, his conversation made her feel happy, and being with him made her feel relaxed.
In short, everything about him was great.
Plus, during the time of her transformation, Di Qiuer had been constantly thinking about getting out quickly to be with Lin Yun. Her mind was filled with thoughts of him, which made her special feelings for Lin Yun even stronger.
It had taken root and sprouted.
However, Lin Yun felt a little helpless. He would soon have to go back to Shrek Academy to cause trouble. Taking Di Qiuer to Shrek would be like giving a meat bun to that scoundrel of a dog, Tang San.
Almost as soon as Di Qiuer spoke, Lin Yun wanted to reject her request without hesitation.
If it were just him, it would be fine.
After all, he wasn't a native of the Douluo Continent but a "fourth natural disaster" from another world. He probably didn't carry the so-called "luck" of this world.
This was likely the reason Tang San had never paid attention to him; he simply didn't possess the luck of the Douluo Continent. As long as he didn't interfere with Tang San's plan, that god-king pastry chef would likely not care about Lin Yun. And even if he wanted to make a move against Lin Yun, he would be powerless.
His only excuse to interfere with the Douluo Continent was Tang Wutong. As long as Lin Yun didn't get into a major dispute with Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong.
Hmm...
He believed that the God of Destruction would be very happy to get a few pieces of dirt on Tang San.
Di Qiuer was different.
Lin Yun didn't have any luck, so Tang San, who coveted luck, wouldn't be willing to pay a huge price to deal with him. But Di Qiuer carried the obvious Fierce Beast luck, which made Tang San drool.
Tang San: "Evil Fierce Beasts are a disgrace to the natural order!"
Therefore, to prevent Di Qiuer from revealing her identity and to prevent her from exposing herself and him to Tang San's notice, Lin Yun immediately rejected her request.
"No! I still have to go back to Shrek Academy to complete my plan. If you go to Shrek during this process, it will interfere with my plans!"
Di Qiuer wanted to say something more, but Lin Yun's glare immediately made her quiet down.
In the Star Dou Great Forest, there were basically no Fierce Beasts that could surpass the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in bloodline, but unfortunately, Lin Yun was one of them, and he was the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's greatest father.
In front of Lin Yun, she truly couldn't muster any thought of resistance.
However, just because the little girl didn't dare to resist didn't mean she couldn't whine.
Looking at Di Qiuer's teary-eyed and pitiful expression, Lin Yun rubbed his temples with a headache. He hated this kind of situation the most. "Can't everyone be a little more rational? Why do you have to completely disregard the bigger picture for some personal feelings?"
"This isn't the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, where even a Great Emperor can only live for 10,000 years. This is the Douluo Continent!"
It was a world of eternal life after becoming a god. And with him leading the way, was she still afraid of not becoming a god in the future? Was a little bit of time spent apart that big of a deal?
"This is non-negotiable. You carry the Fierce Beast luck of the Star Dou Great Forest. Telling you to stay in the Star Dou is not harming you, it's protecting you," Lin Yun said, looking at Di Qiuer with a serious and slightly stern expression.
"Even if we don't consider all that, as the Emperor's Auspicious Beast, you have a duty to protect your own life. Even if you die, you can only die in the Star Dou Great Forest! I will not allow you to go to Shrek with me. You'd better give up on these unrealistic ideas."
After saying this, Lin Yun got up from the lakeside. He didn't even bother to put on his shoes and walked away from the Lake of Life, his wet feet stepping on the Blue Silver Grass.
Di Qiuer just stared blankly at Lin Yun's departing back, her face filled with sadness.
"Stinky Your Highness! Bad Your Highness! I don't like you anymore!" Di Qiuer pouted, and large, clear tears rolled down her cheeks. She huddled up on the shore of the Lake of Life, whimpering quietly.
A black figure silently appeared behind Di Qiuer. He looked at her crying, then looked in the direction Lin Yun had left, and let out a long sigh.
Sigh...
Goodness gracious, one is a little ancestor, the Emperor's Auspicious Beast, and the other is the Golden Dragon King, whom Di Tian ranked on the first page of the dragon clan's genealogy after the truth of the Dragon God War was revealed.
Now, these two ancestors, one big and one small, were having a conflict. God knows how much Di Tian, who had been hiding in the spatial rift and eavesdropping, was sweating.
He, the majestic Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, was experiencing the suffocating feeling of being wrapped by a python, a feeling that only low-level Fierce Beasts could feel.
Di Qiuer, who was crying, heard Di Tian's sigh. The little girl raised her tear-filled eyes, looked at Di Tian, and immediately threw herself into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Waaaaah... Uncle Di Tian..."
She felt so wronged and sad...
She had used her only chance to transform into a human for His Highness. Her appearance was molded after His Highness, and her Martial Soul was the same as the one Lin Yun displayed.
All that perseverance over such a long time was just to spend more time and be closer to Lin Yun, wasn't it?
But as soon as she transformed and showed her affection, Lin Yun gave her a cold shower, pouring cold water all over her enthusiasm.
After all... she hadn't copied any human memories. She was essentially just a Fierce Beast who was just over 10,000 years old, and she was the little princess of the Star Dou Great Forest who had been protected so well by Di Tian and the others that she had never suffered any grievances.
Di Tian sighed again and helplessly ruffled Di Qiuer's small head.
"I'm sorry, Qiuer, but on this matter, there's nothing I can do to help you," Di Tian said softly.
"The will of His Highness cannot be disobeyed by anyone."
