Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, have a Beast Taming Space

Chapter 64 Auspicious Beasts for Humans

It gave a vague "thank you," and then without hesitation, it devoured the entire grilled fish in a few bites, leaving not even the bones behind.

After finishing its meal, it licked its lips with lingering satisfaction, its big eyes fixed on Huo Yuhao, and it stretched out one front paw, its meaning quite clear.

Want more?

Huo Yuhao shrugged and said helplessly, "That's all. There's only this one left. I didn't even have time to eat it myself."

"Gone?"

The three-eyed golden lion seemed to frown, its tone filled with dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao quickly suggested, "If you want to eat, you can come over there with me. I grilled quite a lot at my camp, enough for everyone!"

He pointed in the direction of the camp.

The three-eyed golden lion tilted its head and looked at him, then at the camp, seemingly weighing its options.

The delicious taste of the grilled fish still lingered on her tongue, and in the end, the desire for the food overcame any slight wariness towards humans.

It nodded: "Lead the way."

Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief, finally managing to calm this little rascal down for the time being.

He stood up, preparing to walk back with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, when he ran into Zhang Lexuan, who had rushed over following the commotion.

"Yuhao? Are you alright?"

Seeing that Huo Yuhao was safe and sound, Zhang Lexuan breathed a sigh of relief. But then her gaze froze on the magnificent and noble soul beast beside Huo Yuhao. Her pupils suddenly contracted, and she gasped in surprise.

"This is... a Three-Eyed Golden Lion!!"

Her soul power instantly surged, as if facing a formidable enemy!
What's going on with the auspicious beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, here? And why is it standing so close to Huo Yuhao?

Huo Yuhao quickly waved his hand, signaling Zhang Lexuan to relax: "Senior Sister, don't worry, relax. This is... uh, a friend I just met."

To make his argument more convincing, he even mustered his courage and gently touched the three-eyed golden lion's head, which had a wonderfully smooth feel.

The three-eyed golden lion seemed a little uncomfortable, shaking its head and speaking with a hint of dissatisfaction, but it didn't lash out. It just muttered, "Hey, human, did I tell you to touch it before you touched it?"

"Haha, sorry, just doing it on the spur of the moment."

Huo Yuhao chuckled twice and quickly withdrew his hand.

"Let's go, Senior Sister, let's go back to the camp first."

Zhang Lexuan stared in disbelief at the incredible scene before her. Huo Yuhao was not only unharmed, but also arm-in-arm with a mythical beast from the Star Dou Great Forest? What on earth was going on?
She mechanically followed Huo Yuhao and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion towards the camp, listening to Huo Yuhao explain in a low voice, "It's coming back with me to eat grilled fish... By the way, Senior Sister, I've got my spirit ring sorted out. The process was a bit complicated, I'll explain in detail later."

Zhang Lexuan opened her mouth, looking at the harmonious backs of the human and beast in front of her, feeling that her worldview had been greatly impacted.

Huo Yuhao, that kid... always manages to do things that leave people speechless.

……

When Huo Yuhao returned to the camp with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Jiang Nannan, Li Feng, and Li Yongqiang, who had been waiting anxiously, were instantly petrified.

Jiang Nannan didn't even notice when the water pouch in her hand fell to the ground. Li Yongqiang opened his mouth wide enough to fit an egg. Even Li Feng, who had just broken through to the Soul Saint realm and was full of pride, was shocked and his body subconsciously went into a state of alert.

He went out to chase a spirit beast, and... how did he end up bringing a spirit beast back with him?!
Moreover, its appearance and aura... it doesn't look like an ordinary soul beast at all!

The three-eyed golden lion grew impatient under the intense gazes. It raised its proud head, spoke in human language, its voice carrying a hint of the auspicious beast's majesty and displeasure: "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen this auspicious beast before?"

"It can...it can talk! A 100,000-year-old soul beast!!"

Li Yongqiang was so frightened he almost jumped up, his voice trembling. A creature capable of human speech must be at least a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast.

"Don't be afraid, everyone, relax, relax!"

Huo Yuhao quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

"This is my friend. I invited it over for some grilled fish. I meant no harm."

Friends? Making friends with a 100,000-year-old soul beast?

The group exchanged bewildered glances, feeling their understanding being challenged once again. However, they noticed that there seemed to be no tense atmosphere between Huo Yuhao and the mysterious golden beast, and that Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan was also present without issuing any warnings.

They barely managed to suppress their shock, but still dared not approach, only watching from a distance.

The three-eyed golden lion seemed uninterested in the others. It walked to the campfire, found a comfortable spot to lie down, and stared at Huo Yuhao with its big eyes... as well as the fish he was grilling in his hand, its tail tip swaying unconsciously.

Huo Yuhao smiled helplessly and continued to act as the chef, handing the grilled fish one by one to the distinguished guest.

The three-eyed golden lion accepted everything offered and ate with relish, occasionally letting out satisfied hums. Its unguarded enjoyment of the food softened its majestic status as an auspicious beast and added a touch of cuteness.

Watching it devour its food, Huo Yuhao's heart stirred. While flipping the grilled fish, he casually asked, "By the way, where's your... um, bodyguard? I haven't seen him."

He remembered that in the original story, when the Three-Eyed Golden Lion went out, it was usually protected in secret by the ferocious beast Red King.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion swallowed the fish meat in its mouth, pursed its lips and said, "You mean Uncle Red King? He sensed a very powerful human aura nearby and said he was going to investigate, and then he disappeared. Honestly, he left me... cough, anyway, I'm fine now."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao paused slightly in his movements.

A very strong human presence? They went and never came back?
His lips twitched involuntarily. This description... how come it sounds so much like that unreliable old man, Elder Xuan?
Did Elder Xuan lure the Crimson King away?
Or perhaps... the two big shots went somewhere to exchange ideas and skills?
No wonder we haven't seen Elder Xuan appear yet; it turns out he's been playing a role here.

Although in an unexpected way.

Just then, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion suddenly raised its head, looked at Huo Yuhao very seriously, and said, "Human, the fish you grilled is delicious. How about... you stay in the Star Dou Great Forest? From now on, you can cook delicious food for me. In the forest, with me protecting you, I guarantee no soul beast will dare to bully you, how about it?"

Huo Yuhao was taken aback at first, then chuckled. Good heavens, they want to hire him as their personal chef?

He reached out and naturally stroked the soft, smooth fur on the neck of the three-eyed golden lion; it felt wonderful to the touch.

The three-eyed golden lion shook its head, expressing a small protest: "Hey, you touched me again!"

But they didn't actually dodge it.

Huo Yuhao smiled and withdrew his hand.

“No, auspicious beast. I cannot stay in the forest. I still have many things to do and enemies to face. If I do not become stronger, my fate… will likely be at the mercy of others.”

As he said this, he thought of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, the place that had brought him endless pain and hatred, and a cold glint flashed deep in his eyes.

And there are also petty scoundrels...

I wonder how long they can keep the divine realm hidden.

"destiny?"

Upon hearing this word, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's vertical pupils seemed to light up slightly in its clear sapphire eyes. It scrutinized Huo Yuhao carefully, its tone becoming somewhat strange.

"Humanity, your destiny... is peculiar, profound, and intertwined with countless possibilities and variables."

It paused, then uttered words that sent a jolt through Zhang Lexuan, who had been listening quietly the whole time.

"You... are like a mythical beast that is auspicious to humans."
