Chapter 140 and 141

Chapter 140: Searching for the Destiny Beast

Mu En had no idea that Tang San was in dire straits himself at this moment, so how could he possibly pay attention to the mortal world?

"Little Old Man..."

"Stop, stop, stop, both of you, take a break…"

Mu En quickly waved his hand. At his age, absorbing so much information in such a short time had pushed him to the brink of collapse.

If he had to listen to Huo Yuhao and Hua Huo say anything more, he might just drop dead.

Although he wasn't afraid of death.

"Let me catch my breath, catch my breath!"

"Let's talk about everything else after we unify the Douluo Continent."

Love, faith, everything could collapse in a single day. If it were anyone else, they would have already broken down by now!

Hearing this.

Hua Huo and Huo Yuhao exchanged glances, shrugged, and then disappeared.

"Boring, really boring. This Little Old Man's mental resilience is so weak!"

Although they were gone, Hua Huo's voice lingered, causing Mu En's eyelids to twitch.

His mental resilience was weak?

If it wasn't for his immense strength, his lungs would have exploded from anger!

"Please, both of you, be human!"

Mu En covered his face with his right hand, feeling a tinge of regret. Why did he decide to keep Hua Huo and Huo Yuhao at Shrek Academy back then?

If he hadn't kept them at the academy, Shrek would have just been destroyed.

But by keeping them, not only was Shrek Academy still at risk of destruction, but their faith had also crumbled!

Hearing Mu En's voice, Huo Yuhao and Hua Huo laughed heartily, their spirits soaring.

What was the purpose of saving Mu En if not for some fun?

And Mu En had indeed brought them a lot of amusement.

"Speaking of which, I'm about to unify the Douluo Continent, and I haven't even met the other female lead yet..."

Huo Yuhao stroked his chin, thinking to himself.

In the original timeline, there were supposed to be two female leads: Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er.

Under the manipulation of that certain someone, they eventually merged into Tang Wutong...

Two SRs combined into one S? That was really something.

"Oh my, is the grass always greener on the other side?"

"Is Little Black Hair so eager to meet other women?"

Hua Huo crossed her arms, tilted her head slightly, and smirked.

Huo Yuhao shuddered, his eyelids twitching slightly.

He just wanted to meet "Wang Qiu'er," how did it turn into a matter of 'grass being greener'...

What on earth was she talking about?

No, this was very wrong!

"The Love Continent is terrifying, I almost became a love-struck fool!"

"Luckily, I react in time..."

Thinking this, Huo Yuhao's lips curled into a slight smile, and he raised an eyebrow as he approached Hua Huo.

He extended his right hand, lifted Hua Huo's chin, and said, "Woman, you're playing with fire!"

Hua Huo: "…"

Huo Yuhao was also quite embarrassed; he could have dug a three-bedroom apartment out of the ground with his toes.

But to prank Hua Huo, he went all out!

Hua Huo's eyelids twitched slightly, and the beauty mark she had drawn swayed with the movement.

This line was indeed quite amusing.

It was just a bit too old, making one want to build a house on the spot.

"Of course, Lady Hua Huo loves playing with fire!"

"Little Black Hair, do you dare?"

Huo Yuhao pursed his lips and let go of Hua Huo.

This round was a draw.

He didn't gain the upper hand, and neither did Hua Huo.

"If it wasn't for the fact that I'm only a little over twelve years old in this body, I'd definitely teach you a lesson!"

"Tsk, you're even afraid of the Sea God, you're not a true joker at all!"

Hua Huo crossed her arms, her eyes filled with disdain.

"Fine, you win."

"After all, someone still relies on our story to make a living, so I won't teach you a lesson this time."

"Just you wait, when I turn eighteen, you'll be in trouble!"

Huo Yuhao said with a look of defiance.

"Hmph..."

Hua Huo pursed her lips, her eyes turning into a pie chart, showing three parts disdain, three parts indifference, and four parts nonchalance.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but gasp. Lady Hua Huo could do this too?

Others used their eyes to express emotions, but she just wrote them out!

Incredible!

"Lady Hua Huo, my wife, I want to learn this!"

"You call me your wife when you need me, but think of other women when you don't, tsk tsk~"

"Uh~"

Naturally, no one heard the conversation between Hua Huo and Huo Yuhao.

Early the next morning, Huo Yuhao disappeared from the camp again, replaced by the Hua Huo version of Huo Yuhao, who continued to lead the army towards the Sun Moon Empire.

Star Dou Great Forest.

Huo Yuhao walked alone through the Star Dou Great Forest. He didn't use any means to sense the presence of the Destiny Beast.

He had also temporarily shielded his own luck.

He did this just to see what kind of fate he had with the Destiny Beast.

If he didn't shield his luck, even if he didn't come to the Star Dou Great Forest, the Destiny Beast would still appear by his side through various coincidences.

Actively sensing where the Destiny Beast was, wasn't that cheating?

"The last time I came to the Star Dou Great Forest was when I awakened my memories and unlocked my cheats."

"If Lady Hua Huo hadn't appeared, if I hadn't Aha's Emissary, what could I have done to escape Tang Shenwang's control?"

"Hmph, without cheats, it would have been impossible."

Things that were arranged from the start couldn't be easily escaped.

That person was always watching.

If there was even the slightest deviation, they would immediately intervene with a deus ex machina. Such shameless actions were done without any burden.

The only way to escape Tang San's control was to become a god and possess the power of a God King.

"Luckily, I, Huo Yuhao, am known as the King of Cheats, a man full of cheats."

"Little Tang San, can be easily handled."

Huo Yuhao exclaimed.

After wandering around the Star Dou Great Forest for three days, Huo Yuhao still hadn't found any trace of the Destiny Beast.

"Indeed, my fate with the Destiny Beast was arranged by someone else."

Huo Yuhao shook his head, feeling no discomfort. He had anticipated this possibility.

In the original timeline, his fate was predetermined, leave alone the female lead.

"I wanted to witness the Destiny Beast's charm, but it's a pity."

"Star Dou Great Forest, I'll come back another time."

Just as Huo Yuhao was about to leave, the sound of a chaotic chase reached his ears, making him pause.

Moments later, a bipedal spirit beast ran past him not far away.

This spirit beast was called a Cyclops, resembling a humanoid spirit beast.

Chasing it was a lion-like spirit beast with golden fur. Unlike normal spirit beasts, it had three eyes, with the vertical eye on its forehead exuding an air of authority and mystery.

The lion-like spirit beast wasn't chasing the Cyclops at full speed but was leisurely toying with it.

"Hard to judge."

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao shook his head and murmured.

The Cyclops was a ten-thousand-year spirit beast, yet it has become prey for this spirit beast.

The extinction of spirit beasts was inevitable, not just due to the soul master system but also because of their own internal conflicts.

But being hungry and needing to eat was the nature of spirit beasts.

Soul masters merely accelerated this outcome.

Chapter 141: Holding the Three-Eyed Golden Phoenix and the Red King

Huo Yuhao's voice was not loud, but it was heard by the "Golden Lion".

It looked towards Huo Yuhao with a hint of curiosity in its three eyes.

What's hard to evaluate?

This human looks so foolish, could he be lost?

The spirit beast in the form of a "Golden Lion" stopped chasing its prey and walked towards Huo Yuhao.

It did not approach cautiously but strode over confidently.

As for danger or traps, they were not in its consideration.

Even if Huo Yuhao wanted to harm it, with his appearance, could he possibly defeat it?

Haha, don't joke around!

"Human, what are you muttering about here?"

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao snapped out of his thoughts and couldn't help but examine the "Golden Lion".

"Qiu'er" was still very clean; its fur was not messy at all and looked very smooth.

As for his relationship with "Qiu'er"...

It no longer mattered.

"Little lion, why aren't you chasing your prey? What are you doing here?"

"With just this little bit of meat on me, it's not even enough to fill your teeth."

Huo Yuhao spread his hands and smiled.

Hearing this, the "Golden Lion" was stunned, standing still.

Little lion?

Fill my teeth?

"Damn human, I am not a lion, nor do I have gaps in my teeth!"

"Humans are smelly and not tasty; I don't eat them!"

It was telling the truth; first, its species was not a lion but a Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and second, it did not have large gaps in its teeth.

As for whether it ate humans, that was unknown.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion made an attacking posture, baring its teeth at Huo Yuhao.

For some reason, it feels that the human in front of it was strange.

Ordinary humans, even spirit masters, would be very nervous when seeing a spirit beast.

If they saw a talking spirit beast, they would probably be scared to the point of collapsing.

But the human in front of it was not only unafraid but also called it a little lion!

Huo Yuhao waved his hand, looking incredulous.

After a moment, as if he thought of something, he said, "Little lion, your fur is so smooth, how do you usually take care of it?"

"???"

Both the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and the strong being secretly protecting it was stunned; this human was actually discussing fur care with a spirit beast.

He, he must have some serious illness, right?

"Uh..."

For a moment, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was at a loss.

"Look, you can speak, and I can speak too; we are both intelligent beings."

"As intelligent beings, we can communicate and talk heart-to-heart."

"There's no need for you to be so guarded against me, right?"

Hearing this.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion instinctively took two steps back; it felt that Huo Yuhao was not a good person, nor was he an ordinary person.

Could the other party be plotting how to get to its heart?

Damn human, pretending to be so weak and frail, but secretly thinking about how to harm a beast.

"Human, I... I have already discovered your intentions."

"If you dare to attack me, I... I will definitely curse you!"

"Hey, you and I are not on the same page, are we?"

"What page?"

Huo Yuhao: "…"

Thinking about it, he was right; his behavior was not like a normal human.

However, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's appearance at this moment was really cute.

Spirit beasts are extremely complex creatures.

When the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was chasing its prey, it looked extremely ferocious.

But when she transformed into human form and saw humans hunting spirit beasts, she was extremely angry.

Therefore, the existence of spirit beasts was a mistake from the very beginning.

After a long stare-off between the human and the beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion finally spoke, "Human, are you here in the Great Star Dou Forest to hunt spirit beasts?"

It had lived for many years and was well aware of humans hunting spirit beasts.

If the other party says yes, it will definitely keep him here today to reduce spirit beast casualties!

Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, "My purpose in coming to the Great Star Dou Forest is simply to see you."

Upon hearing this, both beasts' expressions changed.

He came for the Golden Lion?

"Seeing you so lively, cheerful, and carefree today is also quite nice."

Huo Yuhao smiled and said.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was a regret in the original timeline; it was willing to sacrifice itself for love, but it ended up becoming someone's "substitute".

This was simply outrageous!

"???"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was completely baffled and somewhat confused.

"Human, what on earth are you talking about? I, I don't understand a single word."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's three eyes were full of confusion, and it subconsciously asked.

"You're a spirit beast; you don't need to understand."

It's better to be simple; the more you know, the more troubles you have.

Although the Three-Eyed Golden Lion possessed one-third of Tang Wutong's soul, it did not have any of Tang Wutong's memories.

It was more like Tang Wutong's soul had merged with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's soul, forming a new individual.

Like Wang Dong'er, it was a new individual, not a substitute for anyone.

Previously, Tang San could have reassembled Tang Wutong's soul at any time, meaning he could have merged the souls of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and Wang Dong'er, then erased their consciousness, allowing Tang Wutong's consciousness to take control...

This was why Tang Wutong would say she was Tang Wutong, not Wang Dong'er or Wang Qiu'er.

Although she had accepted their memories, she was ultimately not either of them, just a fusion of the two.

In the end, Tang Wutong was also a tragedy, a pawn.

Now, with the help of the God of Destruction, Wang Dong'er has become a true individual, completely severing any connection with Tang Wutong.

Tang San couldn't touch Wang Dong'er anymore.

Huo Yuhao looked at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion also looked at Huo Yuhao, both silent for a long time.

It didn't know what this human wanted to do; it wanted to attack this human but felt it would fall into a trap.

"Human, what do you want to do?"

Hearing this.

Huo Yuhao touched his chin and slowly walked towards the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

"Human..."

The Scarlet King hidden in the shadows wanted to say something but found its body unable to move, and it couldn't even make a sound.

"!!!"

This, this is impossible!

Even Di Tian couldn't do something like this, right?

Although it wasn't ranked high among the four great beasts, it wasn't so easily controlled.

But this human could easily control it without making a sound!

"Little lion, since everything hasn't happened yet, let's completely cut it off."

"???"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion wanted to run away but found its feet rooted to the ground, unable to move.

Huo Yuhao didn't continue to tease the Three-Eyed Golden Lion; he walked up to it and rubbed its head.

An invisible red light entered the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's body, and Tang Wutong's soul completely merged with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, removing Tang San's control over it.

From today on, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion is the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and it will have no connection with Tang Wutong.

Tang Wutong: "…"

She was also a victim, alright!

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion thought Huo Yuhao would harm it and couldn't help but shrink its neck, but when Huo Yuhao stroked its head, it felt warm.

"How strange, does this human's hand have some kind of charm power?"
