--- Chapter 225 ---
Huo Yuhao arrived at the Star Dou Forest.
The instantaneous teleportation he used literally ripped the space and time fabric.
"Well, let's search for a yellow cat." Huo Yuhao smiled and glanced at the far horizon. His clone is currently traveling to the border of the Star Luo Empire, ensuring the princess's safety.
He walked into the deeper part of the forest.
After several usages of future sight, Huo Yuhao arrived at the small lake surrounded by a beautiful flower field. He stepped into the area casually and announced his presence.
ROAR!
A massive creature stood before Huo Yuhao. It was over five meters long and 'extremely' burly, with black and red fur all over its body. It has three identical heads over a meter in diameter and a scarlet-golden mane growing on them.
Each head of this figure resembled a lion's, but they were even more ferocious. Its terrifying teeth release a scarlet-gold glow.
"Human..."
"Leave this once, or you will regret it."
"Regret, Die, Die!"
"Oh?" Huo Yuhao was amused.
The system interface appeared.
[Name: Scarlet King]
[Species: Three-Headed Scarlet Devil Mastiff]
[Cultivation Age: 280.000 years old]
[Battle Power: Level 95, Hyper Douluo]
[Description: Scarlet King 8th of the Ten Great Beasts. The Three-Headed Scarlet Devil Mastiff possesses the legendary bloodline of 'Cerberus' and 'Tyrant Mastiff' and is 'widely' duped as the king of Canine-Type spirit beast!]
"I was searching for a yellow cat but found a red puppy instead." Huo Yuhao chuckled while shaking his head.
"Well, it's just a matter of time."
ROAR!
The canine roared again, "You don't cherish your life, human!"
"Then, DIE!"
The spirit beast pounced on Huo Yuhao, and the middle head opened its mouth.
"Scarlet King, huh? I have to say your title is not very suitable."
BAM!
Scarlet King's eyes widened in shock as the blue-haired man didn't budge from the spot.
Dusts flew everywhere.
When the ground was clear again, Huo Yuhao casually stepped on the Scarlet King's lower jaw with his shoe and had his finger stopping the upper teeth.
"Y-You're a Title Douluo!"
"Human, you're shameless!"
"Hehe, off the mark." Huo Yuhao chuckled lightly. "Still, I'd give you 20 points out of 100 for it."
"Anyway, give me the location of your Auspicious Emperor."
"The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, was it?"
The Scarlet King suddenly becomes quiet.
He stared at Huo Yuhao vigilantly, and its middle head asked, "What do you want with the Auspicious Emperor?"
His left head snarled, "I would never tell you about her..."
[Processing...]
[Ding! You have upgraded Observation Haki, and it now could break Ultimate Spiritual Resistance]
Huo Yuhao blinked a few times and smiled. He picked something from his inventory and threw it to the whimpering spirit beast.
"Eat that, and you'll recover."
"..." Scarlet King looked at the ground and saw an ordinary-looking green bean.
He huffed, "That human must be joking..."
Even then, Scarlet King still scraped the ground and ate the bean.
"T-This is..."
"Such a miraculous thing exists?!" He searched for the blue-haired devil's presence, but Huo Yuhao was long gone.
...
Huo Yuhao landed on a grassland. It was an open area with nothing but golden grass of summer.
He walked a few steps to the south and saw a spirit beast on the sunny part of the grassland.
Three-Eyed Golden Lion has a body translucent like crystal, its form similar to that of a lion but with flaming draconic claws and a longer snout.
Fine golden scales peek out from beneath its fur. Most peculiar is a vertical slit on its forehead wherein its third eye rested.
Its two ordinary eyes were gold, but its third eye glared with a charming red glow.
[Name: Auspicios Emperor(Tempered)]
[Species: Three-Eyed Golden Lion(Tempered)]
[Cultivation Age: 15,000 years]
[Battle Power: Level 56, Spirit King]
[Description: The Auspicious Emperor of the Star Dou Forest, who makes fortune smiles to every spirit beast around it. It has the bloodline of Golden Dragon]
[However, she seemingly developed her own consciousness after having her essence and mind tempered by a Divine Being's intervention.]
"So, you're here." Huo Yuhao commented while sitting beside the lion.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was startled. She opened her eyes and saw a blue-haired human sitting beside her.
She yelped and used her mental attack on Huo Yuhao, 'Die!'
Huo Yuhao facepalmed and felt someone softly brush something against his head.
"Argh-! Is that what you want to see?" Huo Yuhao flashed a grin toward the spirit beast.
Realizing her attack was ineffective, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion tried to run away but smacked herself against Rune Barrier.
'Ugh...' The Auspicious Emperor scrunched her nose and dropped to the ground with a painful look.
Huo Yuhao laughed, "For a spirit beast that could oversee destiny, you're sure an airhead."
"But don't worry. I'm here not to harm you."
'A-Are you telling the truth?' A soft female voice brushed Huo Yuhao's ears. 'I can't sense your luck. I don't know if you are a good or bad guy...'
Huo Yuhao released 1% of his Divinity, shocking the Three-Eyed Golden Lion as she had never experienced such overwhelming luck before.
"Do you trust me now?"
'Yes...' The Three-Eyed Golden Lion gazed at Huo Yuhao with her third eye.
'I thought humans aren't trustworthy, but you're bizarre.'
"Yeah. People do describe me bizarrely, and it was understandable." Huo Yuhao shrugged because of his achievements.
"Well, let's stop with the chit-chat."
"I'm going to make an offer you can't refuse."
"Are you ready?"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion swallowed nervously, 'O-Okay...'
