FE-Chapter 67: Miss Auspicious Beast Picked Up Her Bag (2800 words)

"My little ancestor, the world outside is very complicated…"

The three heads of the Red King smiled bitterly, but all of them were kind and spoke to Emperor Auspicious Beast earnestly.

"Let's not think about the messy things outside. They are not as beautiful as you imagine. Little ancestor, you have a good life and eat well in the Star Forest. This is our greatest blessing."

The Red King sighed slowly, revealing a look of nostalgia and a little emotion.

When the emperor's auspicious beast was born, it was so well-behaved and carefree for thousands of years.

Every day, it listened to the Red King telling various versions of the story of the transformation of the 100,000-year-old soft-bone rabbit, ate the delicious soft-bone rabbit cooked in various ways, and played happily in the Star Dou Great Forest for a while in the morning, noon, and evening; the whole day of leisure passed happily like this.

But since the last time the little ancestor ran back happily with a ball of light, everything changed.

The little ancestor was no longer happy all the time as before.

Her mood became unstable. Sometimes she would show joy as if she had achieved a great victory, but sometimes she would be unable to understand some things and become depressed.

This time, when the Emperor Beast said that she wanted to go out and see the world, alarm bells went off in the Red King's mind, even more than the last time the little ancestor suddenly cared about her appearance.

Before, the little ancestor asked whether her human form would be beautiful. Although she made a lot of noise, she never thought of running away to see how big the world was.

"Could it be that the little ancestor suddenly became concerned about her human image last time and had the idea of running away?"

The Red King thought that this kind of idea must have a psychological process. Going out to see the world, such a bold decision for a soul beast must have a traceable reason.

The three-eyed golden lion scratched the golden hair on its head with its claws, showing a thoughtful expression.

"Uncle Red King, you said the water outside is very deep..."

"Is it as deep as the Lake of Life?" 

The three-eyed golden lion asked the Red King with a strange light in her eyes, full of curiosity.

The three heads of the Red King were all stunned again.

He didn't expect that the emperor's auspicious beast's thinking would be so eccentric.

That's not right. The little ancestor had always been a silly beast enjoying good fortune, happy all day long. How could she ask such a question?

"Hiss... the auspicious beast's thinking has become much more flexible. Why is that?"

The Red King took a deep breath, unsure whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. No, this didn't seem like a good thing at all. The little ancestor even wanted to run away secretly.

He felt an indescribable sense of crisis in his heart.

It was like a guardian beast that had been guarding spiritual medicine for thousands of years. Its intelligence suddenly matured a lot, and it wanted to grow wings and fly away.

As for how deep the water in the outside world was or how deep the lake of life was, the Red King was surprised at the question itself. To be honest, he had never thought about such a novel question in hundreds of thousands of years.

"Little ancestor, this is not the way to compare. The outside world is not like the good beasts we met in the Star Dou Great Forest."

The Red King sighed, explaining the complexity of human hearts. The Emperor's auspicious beast was less than 20,000 years old and could not handle it.

The three-eyed golden lion raised her paw: "Uncle Red King, my heart is not that fragile."

She looked around the Lake of Life, walked slowly, and said happily: "Ha, now that I have completed my training and undergone a gorgeous transformation, I will not fall again."

The three-eyed golden lion was fearless. Her destiny should have a better development. How could someone plot behind her?

"And Uncle Red King, even if we play in the human world for decades, it is only a short time for our soul beasts."

The Red King shook his head helplessly. Although soul beasts had a long lifespan, according to past experience — except for a certain 100,000-year-old soft-bone rabbit — soul beasts might only need to transform into human forms for a few decades to complete their lives.

Of course, as the apple of the eye of the entire Star Dou Great Forest, the Emperor's auspicious beast's life safety could be guaranteed absolutely in the eyes of the Red King.

The three heads of the Red King approached the auspicious beast of the emperor and asked seriously: "Little ancestor, why do you have this idea?"

The nose of the three-eyed golden lion lightly touched the light ball: "Well, I'm just curious and want to experience it in the human world."

The Red King thought about it seriously and sighed slowly. It was understandable to be curious about the human world.

But the little ancestor whom it had guarded diligently for so long suddenly wanting to run away from home to see the world made the Red King inevitably feel helpless, like an old father.

The Red King pondered for a long time, then smiled amiably and said, "I understand your curiosity about the outside world."

"But you are our treasure, little ancestor, and you have been growing up under everyone's care and love. If you go out and suffer any grievances, we will feel very distressed..."

The Red King kept talking.

The three-eyed golden lion took out a shoulder bag that had been personally woven by Aunt Brigitte, the Emerald Swan, from a green haystack beside the Lake of Life.

She stretched out her claws and wiped the bag a few times, shaking the golden hair on her neck, revealing a deep black dragon scale.

It was the amulet that Emperor Tian had given to the three-eyed golden lion since her birth.

"I wear it all the time; why is Uncle Red King so worried?"

The three-eyed golden lion picked up her bag with her claws and nodded with satisfaction, her golden eyes sparkling. Aunt Brigitte did a great job.

When the Red King saw that the emperor's auspicious beast was carrying the bag, his heart skipped a beat.

It was confirmed that the little ancestor's desire to run away was not an impulse, but that she had started planning it a long time ago, even asking Brigitte to prepare the travel bag in advance.

A few days ago, he wondered why this little treasure that protected the Star Dou Great Forest wanted to get a bag for no apparent reason. At that time, the three-eyed golden lion answered that she was collecting some elixirs while playing around in the Star Dou Great Forest.

That's right, Miss Auspicious Beast needed to bring capital.

It was impossible to go out to play with nothing in her hands. She was born in the Star Dou Forest, the richest place in the soul-beast world, so she must bring some lake water with her.

The Red King was stunned: "Little ancestor, what do you want to do with a bag?"

"To decorate my belongings."

The three-eyed golden lion's voice was lively and cheerful, and she shook her exquisite bag at Red King.

"Since I want to travel and see the outside world, I have to prepare some things in advance. When I am almost ready, I will set off!"

The three-eyed golden lion took out a small bottle with a transparent texture and ran to the lakeside of the Lake of Life.

She looked at the color of the Lake of Life, selected an area that caught her eye, reached her claws into it, and filled a small bottle with lake water.

Then she ran back and put the small jade bottle containing the Lake of Life into her travel bag and zipped it up.

The mouths of the three heads of the Red King were twitching.

It wasn't that they were reluctant to give up that little bit of lake water. As long as the little ancestor liked it, they would discuss it with Di Tian and the mysterious and powerful master; there would be no problem in giving the imperial beast a little to drink every day.

What made Red King feel a little disappointed was that the auspicious beast seemed to be serious about running away from home this time.

The Red King said, "Little ancestor, you are packing your luggage so early. If Emperor Tian disagrees, I will not let you go."

He definitely could not decide on this matter. The auspicious beast running away from home required him to quickly report this situation to Emperor Tian.

The three-eyed golden lion put her bag away, her face full of longing: "Uncle Red King, Father Di Tian is so good to me; he will agree."

The Red King sighed silently. If this little ancestor cried and fussed at that time, how could Di Tian not agree?

Watching the auspicious emperor beast packing her travel bag with great interest, scratching her head from time to time, thinking about what else she needed to prepare, the Red King felt very complicated, for he knew that the little ancestor's rebellious period had come.

The next moment, his figure disappeared and came to somewhere deep in the core area. Then Di Tian was awakened by the Red King.

"Di Tian, the last time the little ancestor was concerned about her appearance, I felt a little uneasy. Sure enough, this time the problem is more serious than last time."

The space twisted, and a tall figure stepped out.

Emperor Tian transformed into a three-meter-tall burly man with long jet-black hair draped behind him and a slight frown on his face.

"What's the problem this time? Tell me!"

The Red King pondered for a moment, then said slowly, "The little ancestor told me that she felt the Star Dou Great Forest was a little small after walking around. The world is so big, and she wanted to go out and see it."

After listening to the Red King's detailed narration, the auspicious beast picked up the travel bag. Di Tian fell into a brief contemplation, with obvious reluctance visibly between his brows.

There is no place like home outside, and no one will love the imperial beast as much as they do.

How could this auspicious little beast, who had grown up in love and care, possibly endure the malice of the world?

"Di Tian, I'll bring the little ancestor here; you talk to her."

After seeing Di Tian nod, the Red King disappeared, and a few seconds later, he came over with the Emperor's auspicious beast.

The three-eyed golden lion called Di Tian "Daddy" affectionately and cheerfully, and Di Tian's originally serious face was instantly filled with an amiable smile.

However, he did not give in to the auspicious little beast's request at all.

However, when the three-eyed golden lion rolled around and acted cute, Di Tian, the old father, felt sorry for the auspicious beast and could not bear to see her shed even a tear. After many rounds of communication and negotiations, he set thirty rules for her to travel.

...

Sun Moon Empire, Outside the Haoyue Auction House.

After attending the auction, Huo Yuhao and the Hong Chen siblings were on their way back to Illustrious Virtue Hall.

Xuan Ziwen, accompanied by a group of students, came toward them with a smile as warm as a spring breeze on his face.

Xuan Ziwen first emphasized his identity as a disciple of Master Kong and then said with a smile: "Xiao, Meng, I have just discussed with the hall master. In the next period, I will be the one to guide Yuhao."

"Teacher Xuan, what about the cooperation between Yuhao and me in the future?" Xiao Hongchen was quite reluctant.

Xuan Ziwen shook his head slowly: "It doesn't matter. I teach Yuhao during class time. You can continue to practice as you should during your spare time."

Xiao Hongchen felt better after hearing this. Overall, there was not much change from before, except that the teacher was replaced by Xuan Ziwen for some time.

Meng Hongchen knew that Xuan Ziwen was strict with his students and required them to practice engraving core magic arrays every day.

She took out the soothing roses she had just bought at the auction and handed several to Huo Yuhao with a smile on her face.

"Yuhao, if you are not used to Mr. Xuan's teaching method, come back and tell me. Xiao and I will go to his laboratory to bring you back." Huo Yuhao took the calming rose from Meng Hongchen and assured her not to worry.

"Don't worry, Sister Meng. I heard from Brother Xiao that Teacher Xuan is the youngest level eight soul mentor in Illustrious Virtue Hall. I should be able to gain a lot from his teaching."

Then Huo Yuhao and the Hongchen siblings said they would go back to Illustrious Virtue Hall to get more titanium, and then they separated from Xuan Ziwen.

Juzi and Keke watched the three people go away. Thinking of the scene where Meng Hongchen and Huo Yuhao were talking and laughing just now, Juzi's eyes, hidden under her glasses, were full of envy.

She whispered to Keke, "Hey, the spiritual herbs Meng Hongchen has are very expensive, right? I also want to be a rich woman like that and support a handsome junior. I could give him the elixirs and metals at will."

Keke stared at the backs of Meng Hongchen and Huo Yuhao as they left and whispered in a sour tone, "Hey, looking at Meng Hongchen, I guess she wants to be with a younger boy."

Juzi was stunned for a moment, then blinked at Keke. It seemed that they were not younger than Meng Hongchen.

Keke realized this and smiled, adding: "Hehe, I mean Meng Hongchen is a bit distracted. Junior Huo has just been enrolled for a short time, and she is already thinking about a love affair with him."

Juzi adjusted the frame of her glasses and agreed with her words. She said with emotion: "Ah, it's a pity that I want to do great things and can't be distracted by love affairs."

Half an hour later, at the door of Xuan Ziwen's laboratory.

"Brother Huo, come this way; please come in."

When Wang Shaojie saw Huo Yuhao coming, he smiled, gestured for him to come in, and led Huo Yuhao into the laboratory.

"Senior Juzi, Senior Keke… hello." Huo Yuhao greeted all the seniors.

Xuan Ziwen smiled peacefully and pointed to a laboratory table in the back row: "Yuhao, please sit at the laboratory table to the left of Juzi." Huo Yuhao nodded, walked over, and sat in front of the laboratory table, taking out a few pieces of titanium that had been purified by hundreds of forges.

The grenade gun had been made before, so it was time to arrange the chainsaw sword.

The loyalty set must be completed, and according to Huo Yuhao's understanding, the difficulty of making a chainsaw sword was lower than that of a bolter.

There was a small soul guidance processing device on the experimental table. After some time, Huo Yuhao made the blade model of the chainsaw sword, the shaft that drove the chainsaw to rotate, the cutting blade, and various connecting devices.

Immediately after, he engraved the core magic circle of high-speed rotation and pressure cutting and assembled all the parts.

Orange, who was standing next to him, saw the chainsaw sword made by Huo Yuhao and looked a little curious: "Huh? Junior Yuhao."

"What is this melee soul guidance device you made? Its blade doesn't look flat. Wouldn't it be difficult to cut?"

Huo Yuhao did not hide it. After all, it was a weapon that came with the grenade gun and would have to be unveiled later.

"Its name is the Chainsaw Sword, and it generates cutting force through the high-speed rotation of the saw teeth."

"As long as the rotation speed is fast enough and the pressure is high enough, even water flow can generate strong cutting force, and the principle of sawtooth cutting is similar to it."
