Chapter 218 Oh no, I accidentally kidnapped the auspicious beast!
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion hesitated for a moment before deciding to speak her mind.
"I...I want to see the outside world."
Jiang Nian raised an eyebrow, thinking that he probably couldn't fulfill her request. After all, if he took this little rascal out of the Star Dou Great Forest, Di Tian and the others would definitely fight him to the death.
They might even chase him all the way to the Spirit Hall.
At that time, all of humanity would suffer.
"Sorry, that's too difficult."
"Even if I agree, your 'friends' definitely won't agree."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion frowned slightly and grumbled, "I want to go out, who dares to stop me!"
Jiang Nian's lips twitched, and he looked towards a dark corner.
He guessed that guy's heart was breaking right now.
"This is putting me in a difficult position..."
Jiang Nian stroked his chin, considering whether to agree.
He didn't have any feelings for the auspicious beast; at most, she was just a half-friend.
His friendship with her was only for the sake of the spirit ring.
But now that the Star Dou Great Forest can't find a suitable one, she's useless.
Although it's cruel, he's already being kind by not harming this fool. Even if the auspicious beast isn't 100,000 years old, it's still a good match.
Once it absorbs its soul ring, it can fight against Di Tian and won't be afraid of offending the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Jiang Nian! Just help me this once..."
"This... I did think of a method, but I don't know if it's feasible."
Jiang Nian hesitated, looking at the red-glowing vertical pupil on the auspicious beast's forehead—the eye that holds destiny. If his blood dripped onto it, perhaps this fool could see the human world.
But... what if it sees it and then runs off with him?
Although he promised the Ice and Fire Dragon King to take care of the dragon clan's descendants, it wouldn't be good to abduct them, would it?
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion contained a trace of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, though not much, it was still quite powerful.
If he could become friends with it, he would have an extra ally in the future.
"Really?" The auspicious beast excitedly licked its lips: "Then you can begin."
Jiang Nian hesitated for a moment, staring into her eyes: "You... trust me that much?"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion scratched its head with its paw: "Yeah."
"I think you're a good person."
Jiang Nian smiled speechlessly. What kind of good person?
He actually got a "good person card" from a soul beast.
He could easily fool ten of these simple-minded golden-haired creatures in one go.
"Alright, I'm curious if it will work too."
Jiang Nian closed his eyes, and then a trace of blood flowed from between his brows.
A moment later, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's eyes widened.
Jiang Nian's brow met the eye on her forehead, and the blood dripped onto her vertical pupil.
Golden lines emanated from both of them, seemingly containing a terrifying and mysterious power.
Their memories began to share.
Jiang Nian saw her memories from birth to adulthood.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, however, clearly saw Jiang Nian's experiences in both lives.
In her previous life, she witnessed fantastical skyscrapers and all sorts of strange and wonderful things.
She observed Jiang Nian's past life from an outsider's perspective until her sudden death, after which the scene shifted to this world.
She saw a blonde girl, so confident and sunny, like a little sun. She was very beautiful and kind to Jiang Nian.
Her personality seemed somewhat similar to hers.
After a while, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion snapped out of her memories.
She looked at the handsome human in front of her with complicated emotions, her heart skipping a beat.
The two looked at each other for a long time before Jiang Nian finally couldn't help but ask, "Have you finished looking?"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion remained silent, lowered her eyes, and hurriedly fled into the distance.
"No, why did you leave?"
A moment later, a slightly panicked voice rang out.
"Please... wait for me for a few days." Jiang Nian watched the auspicious beast disappear before his eyes, feeling both amused and exasperated.
What was going on?
"Never mind, I'll go outside and wait."
Jiang Nian wasn't sure if he was doing the right thing, wondering if she had taken human form and followed him after seeing his memories.
"Shouldn't... be?"
"Ahem, I did promise the two seniors to take care of the dragon clan's junior. If I could nurture her into a god, it would be a way of repaying their kindness with the soul bone and soul ring."
Jiang Nian glanced back again, then vanished in a flash.
Lake of Life.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion returned to its dwelling in a panic, its heart pounding.
The scene from just now was too much for it to process.
"Little Ancestor, did Jiang Nian do anything to you?" the Crimson King asked anxiously.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion ignored him, lying on the stone slab alone, lost in thought.
Seeing this, the Crimson King didn't ask any more questions and decided to take good care of her during this time.
He had a feeling that this little rascal was about to do something big.
"Strange, my neck feels cold..."
The Crimson King shivered, and seeing that no one was around, he patted his chest to stop scaring himself.
The next day.
Jiang Nian woke up in the inn and heard a cheerful laugh as she went downstairs. Just as she looked up and turned the corner, she bumped into a soft body.
"Hiss~ Who is it! How dare you bump into me?!"
The girl raised her head fiercely, and when she saw the man's face in front of her, her pupils suddenly contracted, then her ears turned red, and her face was full of disbelief.
What a coincidence?!
Chen Xin also raised an eyebrow, a little surprised to meet Jiang Nian here.
"Your Highness, Holy Son."
"Senior Sword."
The two greeted each other, their eyes falling on the fallen girl at the same time.
"Holy... Holy Son..."
Ning Rongrong was pulled up by Jiang Nian, and the moment her small hand touched him, she felt as if she was being stimulated by an electric current, a sour and refreshing sensation.
"Hmm."
Jiang Nian nodded slightly, glancing at the little devil he'd met once before. Not particularly interested, he turned and went downstairs to get some food.
Seeing his aloofness, Ning Rongrong's face instantly fell.
"Hmph! What's with the arrogance? Just because you have a handsome face doesn't mean you're all that!"
Chen Xin gave her a strange look. The little devil's eyes darted away as she clung to his arm: "I just feel he's too arrogant!"
"He bumped into me and didn't even apologize! It's really awful!"
Chen Xin helplessly ruffled her hair: "Don't be silly, he's a Title Douluo, even I might not be able to defeat him."
Ning Rongrong's eyes widened instantly upon hearing this.
"Grandpa Sword, are you kidding me?"
"He's only eight or nine years older than me, how did he become a Title Douluo? Besides, even if he is a Title Douluo, he couldn't possibly beat you!"
Chen Xin tapped her forehead: "That's how geniuses are. Although I'm surprised, it's the truth."
"This person will definitely become a god in the future."
Grandpa Sword's words echoed in Ning Rongrong's mind, and she couldn't help but feel a little defeated.
Such a young Title Douluo—she didn't even have the right to be proud.
That kind of man was simply too dazzling…
"Grandpa Sword, do you think I can steal him away?"
