Chapter 169 Keep your man in check, don't let him seduce me
Within the golden orb, strange halos filled the surroundings.
Huo Yuhao and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's bodies became almost transparent, with light flickering faintly within them.
The light emanating from the Eye of Destiny on Huo Yuhao's forehead grew softer, and a huge, silver-white, vertical pupil phantom appeared behind him.
Bathed in golden light, the colors of gold and silver intertwined, and within a distorted halo, a graceful golden phantom was slowly drawn out from the three-eyed golden lion.
Even though it was just a blur, one could still see that the girl's facial features were soft yet deep, and her dazzling golden hair, as bright as the sun, cascaded down to her waist and hips. Beneath the black dress adorned with luxurious golden dragon patterns, her long, powerful legs looked full of explosive energy.
Qiu'er slowly opened her eyes, her golden pupils initially revealing a hint of confusion. But quickly, after browsing through Huo Yuhao's memories of the past few years, a strange look flickered in her eyes. She glanced at the three-eyed golden lion, still unconscious, and said with a half-smile:
"Yuhao, you've returned with all your memories, so why didn't you come directly to me? Instead, you went to see the Snow Empress first. Hmph, you've really made something of yourself now, becoming the mistress of soul beasts..."
Sensing the other person's strange expression, Huo Yuhao subconsciously swallowed, trying to subtly change the subject: "Qiu'er, what exactly is going on?"
In his previous life, after arriving in the realm of gods, his greatest wish was to resurrect Qiu'er. However, even after the Eye of Destiny was transformed into a divine artifact, it remained closely connected to him.
As for its advancement to a super artifact?
In the realm of gods, even the promotion of ordinary deities is not permitted.
One of the important tasks of the Divine Council is to monitor the gods to ensure they maintain their current state, and to persuade or even suppress any gods who are about to break through.
Similarly, after perusing a vast collection of ancient texts hidden within the divine realm, Huo Yuhao set his sights on the Golden Dragon King, who was sealed within the forbidden land of the gods.
In her spirit form, Qiu'er casually walked to Huo Yuhao's side, raised her hand and gently touched his forehead, whispering:
"Fool, didn't I already say that I've always been with you? Oh, except for these past few years I've been stuck on this silly three-eyed golden lion."
At this point, Qiu'er's tone also carried a hint of resentment, all because of this useless other self.
Even though I had been asleep all along, I should have never lacked guidance for her destiny.
As a result, this auspicious beast would either patrol its territory like a lion or stare at its own reflection in the Lake of Life, admiring its own handsome figure.
Now, Huo Yuhao's precious first time has been stolen by Gu Yuena so easily.
The anger in Qiu'er's heart is unimaginable, as she cannot even protect her own man's innocence.
Thinking of this, Qiu'er, who had been stroking Huo Yuhao's forehead, suddenly pinched his cheek and gently pulled it outwards, saying in a resentful tone:
"Seeing that you're still the same as before after this second chance, quietly flirting with young girls, makes me feel relieved. But thankfully, this time you've finally become much more greedy."
Huo Yuhao looked embarrassed and didn't dare to say a word.
Just then, the golden light that had been enveloping them gradually dissipated, and everyone who had been surrounding the light was stunned by the scene that was revealed inside.
A hint of surprise flashed in Di Tian's golden eyes, which then turned into a hint of understanding.
He looked at the graceful blonde girl and asked in a deep voice, "How should I address you?"
"Di Tian, it's been such a long time."
Qiu'er looked at the middle-aged man with a resolute face and a tall stature, and sighed softly, "Before considering this issue, I wonder if you would be interested in joining me to overthrow Gu Yuena's rule?"
"My Yuhao possesses the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King, and Gu Yuena can become the ruler of all soul beasts, so why can't my Yuhao?"
Upon hearing this, which was tantamount to open treason, Di Tian's eyelids twitched uncontrollably.
Although the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, who had only lived in the Starry Sky Forest, was bold and reckless in its actions, it still held at least a basic respect for its lord.
This guy in front of me is something else; it seems he's been in the human world for too long and has developed a rebellious streak.
Di Tian remained expressionless, bowed slightly to Huo Yuhao, and said in a steady voice, "Mistress, is this your intention?"
When Huo Yuhao heard Di Tian call him "Mistress," he felt goosebumps all over his body. For a mere half-second, he even began to seriously consider whether Qiu'er's suggestion was truly feasible.
However, seeing the barely suppressed laughter in Qiu'er's golden eyes, Huo Yuhao took her hand, his tone tinged with helplessness:
"Qiu'er, stop fooling around. Di Tian has always been diligent and dedicated to the Star Dou Great Forest, how could he possibly play along with your nonsense?"
Di Tian's eyelids twitched even more violently.
He could sense that the Lord was keeping a close eye on the situation here.
What does Huo Yuhao mean by this? Does he mean that he is only loyal to the Star Dou Great Forest, but may have ulterior motives towards his master?
Huo Yuhao is too ruthless. I just tried to shift the blame to him, why is he so heartless as to shift it back to me?
Meanwhile, on the other side of the platform.
A clear and melodious phoenix cry resounded throughout the entire hall, and the golden-red cocoon that had originally enveloped Ma Xiaotao was completely absorbed by her.
Ma Xiaotao, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly opened her eyes. In her long, bright phoenix eyes, a golden-red light flickered.
Behind her, seven spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, two black, and one red—were radiating an unprecedented dazzling brilliance.
In that dazzling golden-red light, a pair of enormous golden-red phoenix wings suddenly spread and flapped from behind her.
When all the light faded, Ma Xiaotao had transformed into an exceptionally beautiful and magnificent golden phoenix, soaring above the Hall of Spirit Transmission.
The seventh soul skill, the true form of the Fiery Phoenix.
With another high-pitched cry, layers of golden-red flames erupted from her body.
In an instant, a golden-red sun seemed to appear in this void, emitting extremely venomous flames with a terrifying aura that threatened to scorch everything, causing the temperature of the entire Spirit Transmission Hall to rise sharply.
The golden-red flames in mid-air gradually subsided after circling once.
Ma Xiaotao's figure reappeared, her long, ruby-like hair fluttering with the sparks, her bright phoenix eyes becoming even more flamboyant, and her every move revealing a noble and elegant temperament she had never had before.
On her shoulder, a small, exquisite, golden-red cabbage was swaying happily.
"Youyou, how about it? Are you envious? I no longer have to go back to the Yin-Yang Well and listen to your endless nagging..."
Before Liehuo Xingjiao could finish her triumphant words, she sensed the strange atmosphere in the room.
Especially with the terrifying, abyss-like dragon aura emanating from Di Tian, he immediately realized that now was not the time to argue with Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Item, so he obediently shut his mouth.
Upon landing, Ma Xiaotao's gaze immediately fell on Huo Yuhao. Looking at Qiu'er, who was holding Huo Yuhao's hand, she raised an eyebrow slightly.
In the short time it took to form a soul contract, how did her little man manage to hook up with a stunningly beautiful girl she had never seen before?
And they even took her hand right away, isn't that a bit strange?
A soft murmur drew everyone's attention again.
The three-eyed golden lion, which had been in a coma, opened its eyes again.
The golden eyes were first filled with confusion, then turned into deep disbelief.
Clearly, he found it hard to believe the memories he received from Huo Yuhao, which belonged to a different path of destiny.
She never imagined that, according to her original destiny, she would end up like that.
Her gaze unconsciously fell on the blonde girl whose hand was being held by Huo Yuhao. A complex mix of emotions welled up inside her, causing her to blurt out:
"What's wrong with you? You can't even win a man's heart. You're a disgrace to our Star Dou Great Forest."
"Hehe." Qiu'er's golden eyes swept over the three-eyed golden lion indifferently, her voice carrying a hint of coldness.
"You still have the nerve to talk to me like that? Then why don't you tell me, have you done anything decent these past few years? Now look what's happened, your house has been stolen by Gu Yuena."
"If I hadn't kept guiding you to find Yuhao, you probably would have been hiding under your blankets, secretly wiping away your tears."
It's understandable that I didn't seize the opportunity in my past life.
This time, even with its own guidance, the unworthy auspicious beast still lost so thoroughly.
Is it just that she simply likes certain types of food?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Hearing Qiu'er's merciless and blunt mockery, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion also became displeased.
As the treasure of the entire Star Dou Great Forest, when has she ever suffered such injustice? Even if it were another version of herself speaking to her in such a sarcastic tone, it would be absolutely unacceptable!
The three-eyed golden lion suddenly leaped to its feet, then retorted defiantly:
"I don't care about Huo Yuhao at all. After all, nothing actually happened between us. Keep your man in check, don't let him try to seduce me all the time!"
Qiu'er's eyes lit up immediately, but she still snorted coldly.
"You said it yourself, so remember not to regret it later."
The three-eyed golden lion looked at Huo Yuhao, who was incredibly alluring to her, and couldn't help but swallow hard, but still managed to turn its head away, saying in a cute but fierce tone:
"I won't regret it. If I'm as useless as you, I'll write my name backwards from now on."
Looking at the sullen three-eyed golden lion, Qiu'er was overjoyed.
As expected, the problem wasn't with her, but with the three-eyed golden lion.
As the saying goes, if you're not proactive in cooking, there's something wrong with your brain.
If Qiu'er only lost once, then this poor auspicious beast lady in front of us will lose twice in a row.
Di Tian also covered his face and sighed, somewhat unable to bear the sight of his auspicious beast's naive and innocent appearance, so blatantly falling into Qiu'er's trap.
Seeing the situation becoming increasingly awkward, Electrolux coughed lightly and slowly said, "Since everyone seems to have nothing important to say, why don't we all go upstairs and talk things over in detail?"
Huo Yuhao quickly nodded in agreement: "Teacher is right, and I also have some questions about Qiu'er that I would like to ask you."
Although Qiu'er seems normal now, he can still sense that Qiu'er is in a very strange balance.
He naturally wanted to ask his teacher, who was proficient in necromancy and undead magic, if there was a way to completely solve this problem.
……
In the conference room on the ninth floor of the Spirit Pagoda.
Because it involved auspicious beasts, Ma Xiaotao was led by Tang Ya to familiarize herself with the other areas of the Spirit Pagoda.
Electrolux picked up the teacup on the table, took a big sip, and then sighed softly:
"Yuhao, you must understand that the mysteries of the soul far surpass those of matter. Just like me, I was originally just a fragment of divine consciousness. It was only through the special properties of the Metal of Life that I was reshaped into the energy body that can exist independently today."
But essentially, I am still in a soul state. Even if I can taste the flavor of tea, it's not because of an organ like the tongue.
As he spoke, he looked at Huo Yuhao and Qiu'er, who were still snuggling together, sitting on the same sofa.
She glanced again at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, who was trying to act like a good child while lying on the sofa, and at Di Tian, who looked solemn beside her, before pausing before continuing to speak.
"You are probably more or less familiar with the theories of multidimensional space and multi-dimensional space, right? The plane in which we exist is what is called three-dimensional space."
Even if one reaches a certain level and can utilize the laws of space or time, fundamentally, one still hasn't broken through the three-dimensional boundary. Even the so-called higher-level divine realm, I think, absolutely cannot reach the point of reversing spacetime.
As Electrolux waved his hand, a gray stream of air appeared out of thin air and hovered above the coffee table in front of everyone.
"If this airflow is the spacetime that you and Miss Qiu'er originally existed in, then..."
With a light tap of his finger, a thinner guide line branched out from the gray air current and landed on a newly appeared black air current below.
"...This is the spacetime we are in now. According to the spacetime paradox, Miss Qiu'er's situation should not exist."
Huo Yuhao added, "Teacher, when I was guiding the auspicious beast through destiny earlier, I felt a certain primal energy hidden in my Eye of Destiny being stirred, and moreover..."
As he spoke, Huo Yuhao's eyes transformed into deep, dazzling golden pupils, and four soul rings quietly appeared behind him.
The first three were deep black, while the last one was an exceptionally beautiful and strange soul ring that emitted a rose-colored halo and flowed with brilliant golden light inside.
"My soul power hasn't even broken through level 40 yet, but this soul ring suddenly appeared after the attribute attraction. But I can also sense that this soul ring doesn't come with any soul skills, as if it's missing something very important."
No sooner had the words been spoken than a clear, ethereal female voice suddenly rang out in the conference room.
"What's missing is the power of destiny, or more precisely, the power of destiny from your original timeline."
