Douluo Dalu II—Chapter 68: Eye of Destiny
Therefore, to her, most of the ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest were her uncles and aunts, and Di Tian, in front of her, was like an adoptive father.
She had always been the little princess of the Star Dou Great Forest. There was no place in the entire Star Dou Forest that she could not go, and the area where humans lived was a restricted zone for her.
If she were to share her thoughts with Di Tian, he would stop her.
So, lying outright was the best option!
Di Tian looked at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and said helplessly, "A retreat? Okay, then you should retreat! During your seclusion, I will urge Red King to study new stories carefully. The Red King has three heads that can think simultaneously, so his ability to create stories is better than mine.
However, he's less knowledgeable than I am, so during this period, I will share my travel experiences with him. I believe that with my help, he can come up with better stories.
When your retreat is over, you'll have new stories to listen to."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was stunned. In her opinion, the stories Red King was telling now were too old-fashioned and boring! Even if Di Tian were to narrate some of his travel experiences, it was unlikely that Red King would produce a good story.
"Thank you, Di Tian!" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion half-knelt on the ground and turned her head away guiltily. She had decided that as soon as she had a good opportunity to sneak out during her retreat, she would transform into a human and make her escape.
As for when Di Tian would discover that she was actually in a fake retreat, that was not something she needed to worry about now.
Of course, once her deception was uncovered, Di Tian would directly capture her, and even the soul-beast leader would approve of Di Tian's actions.
By then, Di Tian might keep a close eye on her for her safety.
A gentle smile appeared on Di Tian's face as he reached out and rubbed the head of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. "It's okay. We are family. There's no need to thank me for such a small thing. When you come out of seclusion, I will ask the King of Ten Thousand Demons to prepare more of your favorite foods!"
"Um!"
….
After returning to his room, Huo Yuhao communicated with Electrolux, Tianmeng, and Bingdi for a while, then began to operate the Life Guardian Blade. He pressed the carving knife against his forehead, feeling vigorous vitality gushing from it and continuously nourishing his body.
An extremely comfortable sensation enveloped him, and he felt his body growing stronger. Some impurities were expelled, and his meridians gradually widened.
"It's like I've been reborn! Under the cleansing of the Life Guardian Blade, my body has been strengthened in all aspects!" This thought flashed through his mind.
Then the Life Guardian Blade pierced directly into his forehead, intertwining the power he gained from the auspicious beast with the Life Guardian Blade.
Of course, the process of integrating this carving knife was undoubtedly painful, but he gritted his teeth and persevered. After a moment, a solid vertical pupil appeared between his brows.
However, because this eye transformed into the Eye of Destiny, the Life Guardian Blade was pushed out from between his eyebrows. Following this, Electrolux, due to the auspicious beast's power of destiny, could no longer reside in Huo Yuhao's third eye.
Although Electrolux's plan was disrupted, he had fortunately used Life Gold to expand Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, filling it with vitality. Therefore, while Electrolux could no longer stay in the third eye, he could still be nourished while sleeping in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.
For the most part now, Electrolux could only choose to reside in the Life Guardian Blade. After all, the nourishing effect of the Life Guardian Blade was stronger than that of Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Sea.
"Now your eye can be regarded as the Eye of Destiny," Electrolux sighed. "Through the Eye of Destiny, Yuhao, you can change a person's destiny."
Huo Yuhao listened to Electrolux's explanation. In truth, he already knew this information, but he didn't want to reveal his identity as a time traveler, so he could only listen again. However, thanks to the special effect of the Life Gold, his soul power was also enhanced to a certain extent.
Now, he was already a Soul Elder at level 34.
After a while, there was a knock at the door.
Huo Yuhao, having finished listening to Electrolux's explanation, walked to the door and opened it. The figure of Meng Hongchen came into view.
"Senior Sister Meng?" Huo Yuhao was a bit confused.
Meng Hongchen asked, "Junior Yuhao, everyone in the academy is having dinner together today, and Grandpa asked me to inform you."
"Dinner party? Where is the Dean?"
Meng Hongchen smiled, "Grandpa and the others left first, so I will take you to the dinner venue next. However, since the food is served slowly, we can see the difference between Star Luo City and Mingdu while walking."
"Okay, Senior Sister Meng." Huo Yuhao nodded.
Huo Yuhao followed Meng Hongchen as they left.
Star Luo City.
Xu Sanshi walked and fanned himself. He glanced at Beibei beside him and said, "Beibei, are we good brothers?"
Beibei was momentarily stunned and a bit confused. "Xu Sanshi, are you feeling a little dazed after Jiang Nannan's scolding? Of course, we are good brothers!"
Xu Sanshi sighed, "Since we are good brothers, I would like to ask you for a favor! Can you teach me some love tips? I feel like Nan Nan has been ignoring me more and more lately. Honestly, I would rather she scold me more! At least then I would know she still cares about my actions!"
Beibei's face showed helplessness. "What kind of love tips can I give you? You know I'm not a playboy. I have always loved only Xiaoya, and Jiang Nannan and Xiaoya are two different types of people!"
"So I can't offer you any so-called love experience. However, Xu Sanshi and I came out of the hotel to buy some gifts for Xiaoya. Why did you come out?"
"Hey, isn't this just to learn from you?" Xu Sanshi stroked his chin. "I think girls are probably similar, so if I give her a gift, Nan Nan might be happier. By the way, Beibei, what do you want to buy? How about I buy one too?"
Beibei's face darkened. "I'm going to a store that sells metals. Do you want to buy some rare metals for Jiang Nannan as well?"
In Beibei's opinion, Tang Ya was someone who liked hidden weapons.
The incomplete version of the Tang Sect's Hidden Weapons Manual recorded many methods for making hidden weapons. At that time, Ancestor Tang San had only created a part of the hidden weapons in the Manual. Some hidden weapons required extremely rare metals.
Certain rare metals were generally only produced in the Sun Moon Empire. Because the Star Luo Empire was relatively close to the Sun Moon Empire, some rare metals would naturally be transported to Star Luo City privately.
This allowed him to purchase the metals.
Xu Sanshi's face displayed a thoughtful expression. "Nannan probably doesn't like rare metals, so what should I give her? Nannan's martial soul is the soft-bone rabbit; how about I buy a few soft-bone rabbits for her?"
Beibei took a deep breath. "I think that's a bad idea! As a rabbit-like soul beast, the soft-bone rabbit reproduces very quickly. Does Jiang Nannan plan to raise soft-bone rabbits in the dormitory later? Or are you thinking of having her eat soft-bone rabbits for several meals?"
"Well, actually, the soft-bone rabbit is very delicious if eaten as a dish. If Nannan likes to eat it, then wouldn't my act of buying the soft-bone rabbit make her happier?" Xu Sanshi said with a smile.
After hearing this, Beibei looked around helplessly, needing to determine his current location so he could find the shop he needed to go to more accurately.
Soon, he spotted a familiar-looking person. After thinking for a moment, he recalled the person's name and called out in confusion, "Huo Yuhao?"
