Star Dou Great Forest, Lake of Life.
"My Lord."
Di Tian looked at the massive figure before him with a hint of reverence, a trace of confusion flickering in his eyes.
The Auspicious Beast had suddenly rushed back to the Lake of Life, insistently clamoring to see their Lord. This had led Di Tian to believe that the Scarlet King had caused some trouble while escorting her, and he had nearly given the Scarlet King a severe beating.
Unable to dissuade the Auspicious Beast, Di Tian had called out to his Lord with a 'try and see' attitude. To his surprise, the Lord, who had been in a deep slumber, actually woke up?
Had something happened in the Star Dou Great Forest that he was unaware of?
First, the Auspicious Beast made a scene wanting to see the Lord, and then the Lord woke up ahead of schedule... During this time, besides the escape of that Million-Year Spirit Beast, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, nothing major should have happened, right?
Although the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was a Million-Year Spirit Beast, Di Tian felt at most a bit of regret over its escape, not intense grief. Such an event certainly wouldn't cause his Lord to wake up early.
So... was it a problem with the Auspicious Beast?
Di Tian's heart sank, and his golden eyes couldn't help but fall upon the Auspicious Beast.
As the Auspicious Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion carried the Luck of all Spirit Beasts. If anything happened to her, the entire Star Dou Great Forest would be severely affected.
It could be said that compared to the Auspicious Beast, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was just a worm by the roadside.
No... there was simply no comparison between the two.
The Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, who had ended her slumber early, did not speak. She seemed to be working hard to digest some kind of information, occasionally casting her gaze toward the Auspicious Beast. This made both Di Tian and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion feel uneasy, having no idea what was happening.
After a moment of silence, Gu Yuena finally spoke:
"That Million-Year Spirit Beast escaped?"
Hearing this, Di Tian was slightly startled. He didn't have time to wonder how she knew, so he lowered his head respectfully and said, "My apologies, My Lord. It was due to my poor supervision that the worm escaped. I am searching diligently; I believe it cannot have fled far."
"No need."
Recalling the contents of the diary book, Gu Yuena spoke slowly, "There is no need to search for it anymore."
If what was written in that diary was true, they wouldn't find that worm; it was destined to become the wisdom spirit ring for that human named Huo Yuhao.
The focus now was not the escaped worm, but the Auspicious Beast who had already been targeted by the Sea God, Tang San.
Thinking of this, a flash of anger appeared in Gu Yuena's large dragon eyes.
Those damned gods in the God Realm were actually plotting against the Luck of the Spirit Beasts!
They truly deserve to die!
Di Tian was even more confused—he could feel his Lord's current anger, but this anger didn't seem... aimed at him?
He felt that his Lord had been very strange since waking up this time... Was it just an illusion?
"Leave the Auspicious Beast here. You may go now."
Di Tian didn't overthink it. Although he was puzzled, he bowed slightly and then turned to leave.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked at Gu Yuena curiously, her heart equally full of doubt.
Because the matter of the diary book could not be revealed to others, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion hadn't explicitly stated why she had to see her Lord. Di Tian had only tried calling out tentatively.
She hadn't expected the Lord to actually wake up.
But before she could explain the Sea God Tang San's schemes, the Lord proactively dismissed Di Tian.
Why would the Lord keep her here alone? It was so hard to guess!
"Did you... come because of what was recorded in the diary book?"
As the words were spoken, both Gu Yuena and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion froze.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion never expected her Lord to be able to state the existence of the diary book in one go. This meant the Lord also possessed a diary instance!
However... why hadn't she seen her Lord in the group chat?
Which one was her Lord's group nickname?
Gu Yuena, on the other hand, was surprised that she could actually speak of the diary book's existence—just now, while Di Tian was still present, she had tried to speak about it, but an invisible force seemed to restrain her, making it impossible to voice.
But this time, she could easily mention the diary book's existence.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion had indeed come for the matters in the diary book.
A look of realization flashed in Gu Yuena's large dragon eyes.
The Auspicious Beast had never sought her out so proactively before, and it happened just as she saw the diary's content. If she couldn't guess that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion also owned a diary book, she might as well stop being the Silver Dragon King.
"I know why you've come..."
Speaking, Gu Yuena paused slightly and couldn't help but curse inwardly again.
Those bastards in the God Realm had never given up searching for her tracks. Once her aura was exposed, what followed would definitely be endless pursuit. And now, the Auspicious Beast, who symbolized the Spirit Beasts' Luck, was being targeted by that Sea God Tang San.
Were Spirit Beasts destined for a tragic end?
This thought flashed through Gu Yuena's mind, and she soon spoke again: "For the time being, stay here with me. At least for now, that Sea God Tang San hasn't had the chance to do anything to you."
"With me here, his reach won't be able to extend to you."
Stay here and be with the Lord all the time?
Although the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was a bit reluctant to give up her freedom to run wild in the Star Dou Great Forest and the delicious, succulent food, her life was undoubtedly more important right now.
Without any hesitation, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion nodded her small head vigorously several times.
Seeing this, Gu Yuena also nodded and then closed her dragon eyes.
The status of this diary book was definitely higher than hers, and likely higher than all the gods in the God Realm, perhaps even higher than the former Dragon God.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be restricted by rules, unable to reveal the existence of the diary book.
So, would this diary book... or rather, that human named Ao Yao, be the way for the Spirit Beasts to break the deadlock?
As soon as this thought arose, it was ruthlessly crushed by Gu Yuena.
The future of Spirit Beasts, the way to break the deadlock, in the hands of a human?
Simply ridiculous.
However, some content in this diary book did indeed serve as a reminder for her and the Spirit Beasts.
Perhaps she could have Di Tian capture Ao Yao and interrogate him thoroughly?
Before Gu Yuena could even react, an invisible whip lashed out violently against her massive body. Even she felt an unbearable surge of pain!
Gu Yuena, who was already recuperating, felt her aura instantly wither.
Gu Yuena reopened her dragon eyes, a trace of wariness appearing deep within them.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion didn't know what had happened to Gu Yuena. She just felt the silence was making the atmosphere awkward, so she spoke tentatively: "If My Lord also has a diary book, then My Lord should also have that chat group, right? What is My Lord's nickname? Why haven't I noticed it?"
???
I just got whipped, and this is what you're concerned about?
Gu Yuena couldn't help but glance at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion without speaking.
