The evening of the second day after returning to the academy, in Zhu Ziyang's room.
Wu Huan'er walked into Zhu Ziyang's room, looked at Zhu Ziyang, who was teasing Xingcai, and sweetly called out, "Brother Ziyang!"
"Huan'er? Why are you looking for me at this hour?" Zhu Ziyang asked with a smile.
"Well," a trace of hesitation flashed across Wu Huan'er's face, then she said shyly, "I have something I want to tell you."
"Oh? What is it? Go ahead, I'm listening." Upon hearing this, Zhu Ziyang immediately stood up, walked to Wu Huan'er's side, took her hand, sat on the edge of the bed, and said gently.
In fact, he had already guessed what Wu Huan'er wanted to say. The girl was obviously here to come clean with him. After all, tomorrow they were entering the Star Dou Great Forest to find a soul spirit for her.
As the Auspicious Beast, once she returned to the Star Dou Great Forest, she would inevitably be sensed by the ferocious beasts there. Her identity would be exposed, and the ferocious beasts would inevitably clash with Zhu Ziyang. This was a scene she didn't want to see, so she had come specifically to confess her identity to Zhu Ziyang.
"Actually…" Wu Huan'er took a deep breath and said, "Actually, I'm not human!"
After saying this, the girl immediately lowered her head, not daring to look at Zhu Ziyang's reaction. However, she only heard Zhu Ziyang let out a soft "Mm!" This slightly eased her suspended heart. She quietly raised her head and glanced at Zhu Ziyang, finding that his face showed no change—only a faint smile as he quietly gazed at her.
Wu Huan'er felt a wave of relief in her heart, then gritted her teeth and said, "Actually, I am that Three-Eyed Golden Lion from back then! The Auspicious Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest!"
"Mm-hmm! I know." Zhu Ziyang said with a smile.
"Brother Ziyang, I didn't mean to hide it from you all… Wait, what did you say? You know?" Wu Huan'er had been full of apology, but when she understood Zhu Ziyang's words, she froze completely, her pretty face showing a silly, bewildered expression.
"Little fool!" Zhu Ziyang was amused by Wu Huan'er's cute expression. He couldn't help but pick her up, place her on his lap, and pull her into his arms. Then he said, "Of course, I know your identity! Don't forget, our souls have fused before, so the moment you appeared in front of me, I knew who you were! It's just that you were silly enough to think you were hiding it well."
"Aaah!" Upon hearing this, Wu Huan'er became shy and flustered. She buried her head in Zhu Ziyang's chest, her small pink fists pounding on him as she vented her embarrassment. "How can this be! I thought I was hiding it so well! Why didn't you expose me earlier? You made me worry the whole time that you wouldn't accept me!"
"Hahaha!" Zhu Ziyang laughed nonstop. He grasped Wu Huan'er's jade-like hand and said gently, "How could that be? My Huan'er is so cute—how could I not accept you? I'm not an idiot!"
"Hmph hmph! You're not an idiot, you're a bad person!" Wu Huan'er let out two cute nasal sounds and said coquettishly.
"Alright, daring to call me a bad person? Then I'll really show you how bad I can be!" Zhu Ziyang pretended to be angry, turned around, and pinned Wu Huan'er onto the bed, his eyes burning as he stared at her.
A trace of shyness flashed in Wu Huan'er's eyes, but her arms proactively wrapped around Zhu Ziyang's neck, her gaze filled with expectation and a hint of provocation as she looked at him.
In such a situation, Zhu Ziyang naturally knew what to do. He directly leaned down.
After a long while, the two finally separated. Looking at Wu Huan'er with misty eyes and flushed cheeks, Zhu Ziyang knew the girl was already aroused. He prepared to take her completely in one go.
Just as Zhu Ziyang was about to make his move, Wu Huan'er stopped him. Her eyes were filled with indescribable emotions, her breathing rapid, her voice trembling as she said, "Brother Ziyang, wait a moment. I still have something to say."
"Oh? What is it?" Zhu Ziyang's urgent heart slowed a little upon hearing this. He smiled and asked. To him, he had waited so many days—what was another minute or two? However, though he said this, his hands did not stop, continuing to conquer territory, explore, and stay very busy.
"It's about soul spirits!" Wu Huan'er felt Zhu Ziyang's hands, her fair cheeks burning red as she panted and said, "The emergence of soul spirits is definitely a good thing for us soul beasts. Although it can't completely resolve the conflict between soul masters and soul beasts, I think it can alleviate it. I believe you think the same, Brother."
"Mm!" Zhu Ziyang nodded, his movements uninterrupted.
"So, if we meet Uncle Di Tian tomorrow, Brother, you must not hurt Uncle Di Tian. Uncle Di Tian and Aunt Brigitte are good people!" Wu Huan'er said with a pleading tone. "Uncle Di Tian and the others will definitely be interested in soul spirits. Then, Brother, you can discuss with them how to build the soul spirit system between soul masters and soul beasts. They are all very reasonable and not the unreasonable type. So, Brother, please~"
The girl's final words almost turned into a seductive, charming tone, stirring Zhu Ziyang's heart.
"Don't worry!" Zhu Ziyang tried hard to restrain himself. He said, "I originally planned to negotiate with the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest. Now with you as the intermediary, as long as Di Tian doesn't go too far, I will remain calm and not act!"
"Mm! Thank you, Brother Ziyang!" Wu Huan'er's pretty face immediately bloomed with an unparalleled brilliance. She hugged Zhu Ziyang tightly, her red lips brushing his ear, her breath like orchids as she whispered, "Take me…"
These words were like a flame that directly ignited Zhu Ziyang's long-suppressed desire. In the room, sounds unsuitable for children immediately rang out—children cannot listen, and skip directly.
......
The next day, early morning.
Zhu Ziyang took Wu Huan'er and left Shrek Academy, entering the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Huan'er, do you have a target?" Zhu Ziyang asked while holding Wu Huan'er's small hand as they walked.
"Mm-hmm!" Compared to yesterday, this Wu Huan'er had gained a touch of charming allure and lost some of her pure innocence, making her even more attractive. She nodded and said, "Yes, Brother, just follow me!"
Because Wu Huan'er was leading the way, the two quickly entered the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest and found a 100,000-year Crimson Gold Flame Lion King.
The Crimson Gold Flame Lion was a variant soul beast of the Flame Lion species, a powerful soul beast that had awakened the Golden Bloodline. Its status among lion-type soul beasts was equivalent to that of a True Dragon among dragon clans—the lion soul beast with the greatest hope of reverting to the ancient Golden Lion. It was powerful and held a high status.
The Crimson Gold Flame Lion King chosen by Wu Huan'er was the king of the Flame Lion clan in the Star Dou Great Forest, with cultivation exceeding 150,000 years. However, when facing Wu Huan'er, it showed no kingly demeanor, instead acting like a kitten, allowing Wu Huan'er to handle it as she wished.
For the Crimson Gold Flame Lion King, this was unavoidable. Wu Huan'er's true form was the Three-Eyed Golden Lion—whether it was her Golden Bloodline or her Suan ni Bloodline, both could completely suppress it. Not to mention that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was the Auspicious Beast that bore the destiny of the soul beast clan. Being handled by her was, in a sense, an honor for the Crimson Gold Flame Lion King.
After all, there were many soul beasts with Golden Bloodlines, but there was only one Auspicious Beast.
Wu Huan'er told the Crimson Gold Flame Lion King about soul spirits, and the Crimson Gold Flame Lion King agreed without a second word. Heaven or hell—there was no choice for it. Sad! Of course, having no choice was one thing; the Crimson Gold Flame Lion King was indeed curious about the soul spirits mentioned by the Auspicious Beast. Since it couldn't resist, it might as well enjoy it openly.
The process was extremely smooth. Even after Zhu Ziyang completed the soul spirit contract between Wu Huan'er and the Crimson Gold Flame Lion King, he was still a bit dazed. Things had gone so smoothly it felt unreal. Where were the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest? The Beast Kings? Di Tian? How come not a single one appeared?
While Zhu Ziyang was still puzzled, within a thousand-meter radius centered on Wu Huan'er, terrifying auras descended one after another. Corresponding to them were ferocious beasts of varying sizes and strengths.
"Human!" A black-clothed man with a cold expression slowly spoke. His appearance was striking—handsome face, aloof aura, long black hair reaching his waist, not feminine at all, but adding a touch of elegance and freedom. Of course, what caught Zhu Ziyang's attention most was the streak of dyed golden hair on his forehead—very distinctive. "You are the boldest one I've ever seen!"
"Thank you for the compliment!" Zhu Ziyang smiled slightly and said politely. "You must be the ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Beast God Di Tian! I am the new Tianyuan Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy, Serene Heaven Douluo, Zhu Ziyang!"
