One person ate while the other watched.
Wang Lin devoured all the food Long Xiaoyao brought in. He then let out a long, loud burp.
Burp!
Long Xiaoyao looked at Wang Lin's somewhat rough action and shook his head helplessly, "You kid, you really don't match your current appearance."
"Uh, what's wrong with me?"
Wang Lin touched his chin with his left hand, asking in confusion.
Long Xiaoyao immediately took out a mirror and placed it in front of Wang Lin.
Wang Lin stared at himself in the mirror, completely stunned.
The gray eyes in the mirror had turned gold at some unknown point. The residual gray dots adorned his golden eyes, making his gaze much deeper and more authoritative.
The ends of his hair, which wasn't very long, also carried a faint dark gold color. His facial features hadn't changed much.
But combined with his eyes and hair tips, Wang Lin exuded an indescribable nobility, as if he were a prince with a faint sense of majesty.
"I've become much more handsome!"
Wang Lin touched his chin, smiling. A faint golden pattern flashed across his body surface, and all the abnormal phenomena vanished completely, including the subtle dragon's might permeating him.
He reverted to his original appearance—clean-cut but inconspicuous.
"Master, where are we now?"
Having finished everything, Wang Lin looked at Long Xiaoyao beside him.
"Rising Sun City, Little Linzi. The abnormal phenomena on your body..."
Long Xiaoyao looked at Wang Lin, seeming to want to ask about what happened earlier. The power that erupted from Wang Lin in the Star Dou Forest had far exceeded his imagination.
"Rising Sun City?" Wang Lin started to think when he heard the name. He knew Rising Sun City, but he was thinking about how to explain what had happened earlier to Long Xiaoyao.
Elder Yi had never forbidden him from revealing anything about him, but Wang Lin wasn't sure how to explain it to Long Xiaoyao.
"Master, do you really want to know!?"
Wang Lin said with some difficulty. To be honest, unless absolutely necessary, he didn't want to reveal Elder Yi's existence.
Elder Yi also didn't want to appear in the eyes of the people of the Douluo world.
Elder Yi, in his one-third state, possessed extremely complete power. Every now and then, Elder Yi would emerge from the Undead Demigod Plane to roam around.
If Elder Yi wanted people to see him, people would have seen him long ago. Wang Lin couldn't place restrictions on Electrolux.
Nor did he have the authority. If Electrolux wanted to leave one day, Wang Lin wouldn't stop him; he would only wish Elder Yi a smooth journey.
Wang Lin was very clear on this point.
Earlier in the Star Dou Forest, Electrolux did not appear in the sight of either Di Tian or Long Xiaoyao.
From beginning to end, only Wang Lin and the divine consciousness fragment on the Three-Eyed Golden Nian could see Elder Yi, which indicated Electrolux's preference.
"If you don't want to say, then don't. Everyone has their secrets." Long Xiaoyao saw Wang Lin's difficulty and said with a smile: "Is that the confidence you've always had that made you never fear me!?"
"No, I respect you." Wang Lin shook his head, answering affirmatively.
"However, Little Linzi, could you promise me one thing?" Long Xiaoyao suddenly asked seriously.
"What is it?"
"If the opportunity arises, help this old man purify someone. Her strength is comparable to mine."
"Good!"
Although Wang Lin knew Long Xiaoyao was referring to Ye Xishui, he still nodded and agreed.
Seeing Wang Lin nod and agree, Long Xiaoyao seemed relieved. The master and disciple then talked about Wang Lin's right hand.
Wang Lin briefly explained the situation. Long Xiaoyao understood the gist of the matter and frowned, asking.
"Little Linzi, are you sure Di Tian was harming you? The legend of the Auspicious Beast is recorded, and attribute reception definitely exists..."
"Every gift from destiny has already been marked with a price in secret. Excessive greed will ultimately demand a corresponding cost."
Wang Lin said in a deep voice.
If the Auspicious Imperial Beast hadn't carried Princess Tang's divine consciousness fragment, Wang Lin would not have been unable to accept all the attribute reception, and he might have even been willing to shoulder the fate of the soul beasts.
But at the beginning of the attribute reception, Princess Tang's image was being infused into his Spiritual Sea.
Fortunately, Wang Lin's own willpower was strong, and he was clear about Princess Tang's essence, allowing him to quickly snap out of the trance.
Otherwise, if the infusion of Princess Tang's image had succeeded, he would likely have ended up like Huo Yuhao, embarking on a path where he would live and die for Princess Tang, not even wanting to seek revenge.
Di Tian clearly knew all this. In the original work, the Auspicious Beast, which was so crucial to the soul beasts, was guarded only by the Scarlet King.
After being captured by Xuan Zi, it was still just the Scarlet King who appeared. The fierce beasts in the Star Dou Forest acted as if they were dead, completely unconcerned about the situation.
They were entirely unafraid that Xuan Zi would directly slaughter the Auspicious Beast and use it as a soul ring for Huo Yuhao. The Auspicious Beast, after absorbing Huo Yuhao's memories, successfully transformed into a human and escaped the Star Dou Forest.
Wang Lin hadn't read much of the original work. He felt nothing for either Wang Dong'er or Wang Qiu'er, and he didn't care about their circumstances.
After all, she was Tang San's daughter, and it wasn't his business.
"Master, I am very special, and the Auspicious Imperial Beast has the power to detect destiny. Do you think Di Tian's appearance was a coincidence?"
Wang Lin asked: "During the attribute reception, a force attempted to tamper with my will, which is why the teacher within me took action."
"Teacher?" Long Xiaoyao understood Wang Lin's meaning, he was confused.
"Yes, my teacher, a teacher from another world. My teacher's power has already broken through the limit. The Golden Dragon bloodline—that was the price Di Tian paid for scheming against me."
Wang Lin explained.
Long Xiaoyao nodded, not asking any further questions. He knew Wang Lin would speak when he wanted to. But breaking through the limit... so he is indeed a god!?
"Will that teacher of yours, perhaps make you..."
Long Xiaoyao didn't finish his sentence, but Wang Lin still understood what Long Xiaoyao meant.
"No, my teacher practically watched me grow up."
Wang Lin replied.
Truthfully, with Electrolux's power, even all the gods in the God Realm combined couldn't restrain him.
Electrolux, with one-third of his soul condensed, could completely traverse the cosmos with the Undead Demigod Plane.
As for why Elder Yi stayed, he currently had nothing else to do. Since he had a junior he found agreeable, the old man decided to stay and offer some guidance, passing the time.
Electrolux had clearly expressed these thoughts to Wang Lin.
"That's good." Long Xiaoyao nodded, not pressing further. But for some reason, he suddenly felt a chill.
What he couldn't see was that a white-robed old man was currently floating behind him, a pair of eyes staring intently at him.
"Why is it a little cold?"
Long Xiaoyao touched his neck, puzzled. With his cultivation level, he shouldn't feel a chill.
"Maybe the room is drafty!"
Wang Lin said helplessly. Fortunately, Electrolux didn't linger behind Long Xiaoyao. Instead, he drifted silently out of the room, heading to some unknown place.
