Chapter 96 Returning to School, Back to the Star Dou Great Forest
Zhu Lu didn't speak, but through the mental connection of the fusion technique, Dai Huabin sensed her emotions.
I'm very happy.
I have finally caught up with Hua Bin.
The fusion technique lasted for about thirty seconds before slowly dissipating. The two separated, each panting heavily.
"My soul power consumption is much higher than before," Zhu Lu said, supporting her knees.
"Its power has also increased considerably."
Dai Huabin flexed his wrists.
"The addition of the ultimate ice has at least tripled the freezing effect of the fusion technique."
During the battle, being struck head-on by the Extreme Ice Netherworld White Tiger essentially froze any opponent of the same level.
Zhu Lu looked up at him, her lips moved, and in the end she only said one sentence.
"Yes, I will continue to get stronger."
Dai Huabin reached out and rubbed her head.
"I know."
...
Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away.
Starry Sky Forest, core area.
A giant golden beast was rolling around on a boulder, its four dragon claws drooping listlessly, its golden fur smeared all over the ground.
The third vertical pupil of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was half-open and half-closed, looking utterly bored.
"I am bored."
She rolled over, lying on her back, and sniffed the air.
Damp soil, rotting leaves, and the occasional scent of low-level soul beasts drifting by.
It doesn't taste like barbecue.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion patted the ground with its tail and muttered something.
"That human, he said he'd come. How many days has it been?"
She was referring to Dai Huabin.
She still can't forget the taste of the barbecue from last time. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it was sprinkled with some kind of seasoning. It smelled so good that she almost swallowed her tongue.
The human also said he would bring more next time he came.
"Liar." The Three-Eyed Golden Lion snorted.
A red figure emerged from the bushes behind the boulder.
It was the Red King.
In his human form, the Red King is a middle-aged, burly man with red hair, a rugged face, and wears a dark red animal skin robe, with his two arms covered in scars exposed.
"Standing here in a daze again?" The Red King's voice was muffled, as if he were speaking from inside a jar.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion turned its head and glanced at him, its tail swishing. "Uncle Chi, when do you think that human is coming?"
The Red King's expression was not good.
The "human" that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion mentioned is the kid who took Bing Di away last time.
The Red King still hasn't figured out what happened that time.
Bing Di signed a blood pact with a human?
The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, one of the Three Kings of the Far North, signed a blood pact of fate with a human boy.
The Red King had lived for 300,000 years and had never seen anything so outrageous.
"Mythical beast, stop thinking about that human."
"Why? His barbecue is delicious."
The Red King's forehead twitched.
A beast king that had existed for 300,000 years was bribed by a human's roasted meat?
"Didn't I say that the human's origins are unknown, and he's accompanied by Bing Di?"
"Bing Di used to have such a temper, wanting to freeze all humans into ice popsicles. The fact that they're suddenly mixing with a human suggests something's wrong."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion tilted its head.
"But when Bing Di is with him, she seems to be in a good mood."
The Red King choked for a moment.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's third eye possesses the ability to see into people's minds; when it comes to judging people, no one in the entire Star Dou Great Forest is more accurate than her.
But the Red King was still uneasy.
The Beast God Di Tian has been in seclusion for some time and shows no signs of emerging.
As one of the guardians of the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Crimson King has a responsibility to report this matter clearly.
But since Di Tian didn't leave the seclusion, he couldn't just force his way in.
After much deliberation, the Red King finally decided to tell Princess Brigitte first.
Biji is a jade swan, one of the ten most ferocious beasts, with a cultivation of 500,000 years, and has an excellent relationship with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
She doesn't usually stay in the core area for long, but she comes to see Jinni every now and then.
When the Red King found Brigitte, she was sunbathing on the grass by the lake.
In her human form, Brigitte is a green-haired woman with a beautiful face and gentle temperament, the complete opposite of the Red King's ruggedness.
"Beauty".
"Hmm?" Brigitte turned her head to the side.
The Red King recounted the story of Bing Di and Dai Huabin.
From the appearance of Bing Di with a human near the core area, to the contact between the Golden Lion and that human, and then to Bing Di seemingly signing a blood pact.
After listening, Brigitte remained silent for a while.
"Bing Di coexists with humans? Are you sure?"
"I personally sensed the aura on that boy, and there are fluctuations of Bing Di's bloodline within it, there's no mistake."
Brigitte frowned slightly.
She understood Bing Di's personality.
Arrogant, hard-hearted, and hates humanity to the core.
For Bing Di to willingly sign a symbiotic blood pact with a human, it must be either an incredible stroke of luck or a massive conspiracy.
Brigitte thought for a moment,
"Then let's observe first. You know Bing Di's temper. If that human really was going to harm her, given Bing Di's personality, she would have already taken them both down with her."
Since she's still following that human, it means that, at least so far, that human hasn't done anything out of line.
The Crimson King snorted, "I'm just not at ease."
"Let's wait until the Beast King emerges from seclusion." Brigitte stood up, brushing the bits of grass off her skirt.
"By the way, the mythical beast has been talking about roasted meat a lot lately. Do you know why?"
The Red King's face darkened.
"Don't even mention it."
...
In the blink of an eye, there is only one week left before Shrek Academy starts its semester.
That morning, Dai Huabin packed his things and walked out of the bedroom with Zhu Lu.
Bing Di and Xue Di were already waiting in the courtyard.
Bing Di wore a light green dress, her bright green twin ponytails tied with white ribbons, scorpion pincer-shaped hair ornaments and a small crown on her head, and white leather boots. She looked very smart.
Xue Di wore a plain white dress, her long hair reaching her waist, and her sky-blue eyes looked exceptionally clear in the morning light.
Each of them carried a small bundle containing changes of clothes and snacks that Zhu Ying had prepared for them.
Zhu Ying stood at the entrance of the main hall, looking at the four people.
"Hua Bin, you must take good care of Lulu, Bing'er, and Xue'er."
"Understood, Mother. We'll be going now." Dai Huabin nodded.
Zhu Ying then turned to Bing Di and Xue Di.
"Bing'er, Xue'er, come and play often."
"Yes, Aunt Zhu."
The two answered in unison.
Zhu Ying paused for a moment, then smiled broadly, her eyes crinkling.
It hasn't been long since Bing Di and Xue Di started calling her "Aunt Zhu".
But Zhu Ying was overjoyed every time she heard it, feeling that she had finally warmed up her two cold "daughters-in-law".
Zhu Lu stood behind Dai Huabin, quietly watching this scene.
To be honest, when she first learned that both Bing Di and Xue Di were going to be with Dai Huabin, she did have some reservations.
One is the Northern Heavenly King Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, and the other is the Northern Heavenly King Ice Snow Maiden. After transforming, they are both more beautiful than the other, and their strength far surpasses hers.
But after spending time together, Zhu Lu discovered that although Bing Di was sharp-tongued, she had a pure heart.
Aside from being a bit cold, Xue Di was very kind to her and Hua Bin.
The four bid farewell to Zhu Ying and left the Duke's mansion.
Once you leave the city gate and head north, the number of pedestrians on the official road gradually decreases.
"Let's go to the Star Dou Great Forest first," Dai Huabin told the three of them on the way.
Zhu Lu asked, "Are you going to find my fourth spirit ring?"
"One aspect is the fourth ring. You're currently level 40, and you need a sufficiently good ten-thousand-year spirit ring to match the Ice Shadow Cat's new Spirit. On the other hand..."
Dai Huabin paused, then smiled.
"And I promised a friend that I would go see her."
Bing Di followed behind, her emerald green pupils darting around.
"The auspicious beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion?"
