Chapter 589: Why Did You Bring a Human Back?
The warm sunlight bathed its body, making it so comfortable that its eyes involuntarily narrowed. In recent years, its stress had significantly decreased, and its mood had greatly improved.
The main reason?
That little ancestor, the Auspicious Beast, had finally decided to go into seclusion!
And she had been in seclusion for years.
As long as she stayed in one place to train, it no longer had to follow her around every day, protecting her while telling her soul beast stories adapted from human tales.
With the Auspicious Beast gaining strength and itself gaining peace of mind, it was a win win!
Even though it had more heads than any other Star Dou Great Beast, when it came to babysitting that little ancestor, all three of its heads ached.
Because the Auspicious Beast was simply too special.
So special that it had to cater to every single reasonable request she made.
And it couldn't hit her.
And it couldn't scold her.
It didn't even treat its own children this well!
Ever since she got captured that time, it had been on edge every single day, terrified that it would happen again.
Because if anything happened to her, it would become the greatest sinner in soul beast history.
Later, the Auspicious Beast for some unknown reason decided to enter seclusion, which had been a huge relief.
After all, with her immense fortune, nothing should go wrong while she was in training.
But suddenly
It sensed two figures in the sky.
The six eyes that had been lazily half closed snapped wide open.
A man and a woman appeared in its vision.
Its heart tightened.
This place wasn't far from the Star Dou Core Zone how could humans have made it here?!
Were they planning to sneak into the core and hunt a hundred thousand year old soul beast?!
Damn humans!
Unacceptable!
They had to be stopped!
It immediately sprang up.
Its dark red fur surged like a crimson tidal wave as all three of its heads let out a deafening roar
"Humans! Halt!"
The two figures froze.
The Scarlet King shot into the air, glaring down at the two black robed figures holding hands.
It couldn't see their faces clearly.
With a snort, it exhaled several white hot streams of air from its nostrils.
"How bold! You humans actually dare to step into the Star Dou Core Zone?!"
"Clearly, you don't value your lives!"
"Now I'll show you… what true cruelty means!"
As soon as the words fell, golden red light gleamed off its fangs, and a monstrous killing intent erupted from its body, surging toward the two humans like a tidal wave.
"Scarlet King, it's me! The Auspicious Beast!"
Qiu'er pulled back her hood, revealing a breathtakingly beautiful face.
With a playful smile, she released an aura unique to the Emperor Auspicious Beast.
Scarlet King froze.
The attack he had been preparing stopped mid charge, and he stared at her, uncertain and wary.
To be honest
He was sure he had never seen this girl before.
Yet…
Her aura was exactly the same as the Auspicious Beast's.
"…The Auspicious Beast hasn't transformed yet. She should still be in seclusion.
"But this girl… she carries the same aura.
"Could she be an imposter?"
He hesitated.
Because he still remembered what happened last time
That human boy.
Somehow, he had used a soul skill or some special trick to make himself radiate the aura of a Great Beast, even fooling him.
Seeing Scarlet King's skepticism, Qiu'er's hand flashed with golden light.
A golden spear appeared in her grasp.
The long, radiant weapon was engraved with dragon like patterns.
The Golden Dragon Spear.
Scarlet King's three mouths gaped in shock.
At that moment, all his doubts vanished.
Because the Golden Dragon Spear could not be faked.
According to legend, it had been forged from the 49th rib of the Golden Dragon King.
Its requirements for use were extremely harsh there was no way a human could wield it.
This girl was the Emperor Auspicious Beast.
There was no doubt about it.
"…If you are the Emperor Auspicious Beast… then was that 'Auspicious Beast' in seclusion a fake?"
Scarlet King's three pairs of eyes widened in disbelief.
"So you transformed into human form, sneaked out of the Star Dou Forest, and went to the human world?"
Qiu'er hesitated, then firmly nodded.
"Mm."
"…How long have you been doing this?"
Scarlet King forced himself to smile and keep his tone light, trying to get more information out of her.
Qiu'er took a deep breath and answered truthfully.
"I created a fake body infused with Star Dou's Fortune Energy to trick everyone into thinking I was in seclusion.
"Then I transformed and left for the human world."
Scarlet King's vision went dark.
The sky felt like it was collapsing.
She was safe now, but…
What if something had happened to her outside?
The Star Dou Forest's entire fate would have been shattered!
And
Even though Qiu'er could be a bit of a handful, he cared about her.
She was one of them.
Di Tian probably could have saved her from afar…
But what if he failed?
"…Auspicious Beast… I'm taking you to see Di Tian!"
Scarlet King growled.
Later, by the lake.
Di Tian listened to Scarlet King's report, his face dark and stormy.
Bi Ji, standing beside him, looked just as grim.
She had just defended Qiu'er the other day
And now it turned out Qiu'er was never in seclusion at all?!
She had transformed into a human and run off to play in the human world?!
Di Tian took a deep breath, struggling to keep his voice gentle.
"Auspicious Beast, do you remember what I told you?
"Humans are very, very bad.
"That's why you should never leave the Core Zone.
"As long as you stay here, I and the other Great Beasts will protect you.
"You'll never be in danger.
"…Is life in the Star Dou Forest so unbearable?
"Why did you leave? Why become human?"
"Because I was bored."
"…Bored?"
"Yes, bored! The Star Dou Forest is too dull.
"The human world is far more colorful and exciting."
Di Tian, who had once traveled across the entire Douluo Planet, understood what she meant.
But understanding didn't mean accepting.
This was far too dangerous.
He sighed.
"…Fine.
"But then, tell me "
"Why did you bring a human back?"
His golden eyes locked onto Huo Yuhao.
"The same human who once conducted an Attribute Connection Ritual with you."
He was puzzled.
Why had she brought this human into the Core Zone?
To any normal human, this place was a death trap.
Qiu'er suddenly stepped forward
Hooked her arm around Huo Yuhao's
And with a bright smile, declared
"Di Tian, Huo Yuhao is my lover."
