Chapter 206 Melancholic Zi Ji_1

At this moment, faced with the interrogation from the ferocious beast before her, Meng Yiran was even more shocked.

She was not a soul beast, so how could she possibly take an interest in one?

She merely felt that the soul beast before her was very strong, with a body that shone like gilded gold, commanding an air of majestic nobility. Nothing more.

Admiring a soul beast? Now, that would be ridiculous.

Even if Meng Yiran was somewhat... odd, she might only be interested in handsome human guys. With such a huge mouth that could easily stuff her whole body inside, it would be strange if she had any feelings of affection towards it.

And considering the enormous size of a soul beast's body, how could any human possibly endure it?

However, she hadn't yet thought of how to respond to the soul beast before her.

If she said she didn't admire it, wouldn't that prove her grandma had just been deceiving it? With the soul beast's temperamental nature, her grandma would definitely be thrown into the Soul Beast Pile.

Those soul beasts were already relentlessly pursuing them, and now, with this soul beast's command, they might even go berserk and pounce on her grandma. Even if the grandma was powerful in "Cultivation Level," facing so many soul beasts, she could only end in tragedy.

Yet, if she said she admired this soul beast, wouldn't that be lying? What if the soul beast saw through her deception? Wouldn't that be even worse?

"Why are you not speaking? Are you thinking of how to fool me?" Xu Ran asked indifferently, looking at Meng Yiran with a faintly amused expression.

"No, not at all! Absolutely not!" Meng Yiran shook her head as frightened as a jittering bobblehead.

As Xu Ran spoke, his enormous maw opened wide, and his teeth seemed big enough to fit two or three of Meng Yiran's heads at once.

And in Meng Yiran's mind, an uncontrollable scene surfaced – one where her head burst open and brain matter spattered everywhere with a sickeningly crisp sound effect, making her shiver and feel a chill run down her spine.

Xu Ran, being only a millennium old, was not very large and was considered small within the circle of soul beasts. But compared to Meng Yiran's petite frame, Xu Ran seemed immensely huge.

"I indeed admire the senior too much."

"This is the first time I, Meng Yiran, have seen a soul beast as majestic and extraordinary as the senior. I was momentarily touched by the senior's royal aura and overwhelmed by the loftiness of your demeanor, which caused me to be dazed and forget to pay my respects to the senior," Meng Yiran said, wracking her brains to combine all the flattering terms she could think of to praise Xu Ran, hoping her flattery would work and gain the soul beast's favor.

Her hands were tightly clasped together, and she looked at Xu Ran with an anxious expression on her face.

If the soul beast before her could see through her lies, then both she and her grandma could end up losing their lives here. With this thought, she suddenly became braver, daring to look straight into Xu Ran's golden eyes.

Observing the soul beast up close.

She was somewhat astonished to realize that the soul beast before her was unlike any she had encountered before. The gold in its eyes flickered like flames, yet there was not a hint of ferocity, only nobility, dignity, and a warmth like the gentle rays of the sun.

A soul beast, so powerful that it made many other soul beasts bow before it, had such gentle eyes, as if they belonged to an unparalleled man.

This made her click her tongue in wonder.

What splendor would such eyes possess if they were on a human man?

Just those profound eyes alone would be enough to captivate countless girls, wouldn't they?

Meng Yiran thought to herself, and perhaps influenced by Xu Ran's eyes, which lacked any murderous intent, she no longer felt frightened.

"My Lord, we should leave now. Di Tian and the others must be anxiously waiting at the Lake of Life," Zi Ji said, seeing Xu Ran playing with a girl he had never met before. She felt a sour taste in her heart, speaking with a tinge of envy.

The serious female voice carried a hint of resentment and seductiveness.

Zi Ji realized that the Auspicious Beast in front of her was truly different from the others; it was genuinely lecherous, this...

In the Aquipeia Forest, there was another Auspicious Beast, the Three-eyed Golden Lion! And Bi Ji! Not to mention that existence, which even an Auspicious Beast shouldn't defile.

But with the skills of an Auspicious Beast, when the time came, could the Three-eyed Golden Lion and Bi Ji really escape?

So she had made up her mind to do everything possible to secure a higher place in the heart of the Auspicious Beast.

Although there was no real relationship between her and the Auspicious Beast yet, she had massaged its legs and feet, doing what a wife should do.

She had even massaged its feet, as a super ferocious beast of more than two hundred thousand years, doing such things for the Auspicious Beast.

If in the end, she left no impression in the Auspicious Beast's heart, then she would suffer a great loss.

After all, the Auspicious Beast was someone she had worked hard to invite, even resorting to shameless methods of seduction by offering her Colorful Charm Techniques. She could say nothing if the Three-eyed Golden Lion gained the advantage, but she would not be content to let Bi Ji take it all.

That old witch Bi Ji, with a higher "Cultivation Level" than hers and a status in the Aquipeia Forest second only to Di Tian, much higher than hers. If even the Auspicious Beast was taken by her, then she, Zi Ji, would never be satisfied.

"Oh, I see," said Xu Ran, turning his head and looking at Zi Ji. Her captivating voice made Xu Ran feel a bit lofty. Zi Ji, this Enchantress, was definitely using Charm Techniques, deliberately flirting with him.

With her power accumulated over more than two hundred thousand years, the sudden emission of such a charming voice almost caused Xu Ran to lose control.

Zi Ji was still Zi Ji. Although she had not learned Charm Techniques, her inherent nature, due to her attributes, was extremely bewitching without learning, and on top of that, she deliberately flaunted her serpentine and exquisite body, using that voice to speak, which indeed was very tempting.

Putting thoughts aside, Xu Ran looked at Meng Yiran in front of him and decided not to tease her anymore.

A little teasing added spice to life, but to continue would be deliberate torment.

Xu Ran's beastly claw lightly scratched the air, and a miraculous golden light appeared, directly entering Meng Yiran's body.

"Ah." Meng Yiran let out a soft cry. A warm sensation filled her organs, and the exhaustion and discomfort from running for her life vanished at that moment.

The sensation surprised her.

This golden soul beast in front of her was really strong. A casual wave of his hand could bring her such an effect, and she also felt a strange sense, being enveloped by this golden light, her fear of the surrounding soul beasts diminished significantly.

This...

"The golden light I just imbued you with will ensure you're not hated by soul beasts in this soul beast forest. This golden light will disappear after a week. Take careful note of the time, and remember, do not kill any innocent soul beasts..." Xu Ran said, and without another word, he turned and left. Meng Yiran was an original character from the story, so he was merely curious about her.

If it were usual, he might have chatted more with Meng Yiran to deepen their connection.

But he was very clear about the current situation—Gu Yuena, the Auspicious Beast, was the main focus. He naturally wouldn't spend more effort on Meng Yiran.

As for the future, it was up to fate.

Meng Yiran's beauty was not bad, so if she took the initiative, he would certainly not refuse, right?
