Chapter 50 The Three-Eyed Golden Lion Descends and Takes Human Form!
"Back then, you were embracing women on both sides at the Rose Hotel, and you even bragged about it to me."
"Today, I'll let you relive your old dreams too."
Zhu Zhuqing turned her head and coldly ordered the guard beside her:
"Go to the pigsty again and bring me one!"
"It needs to be about the same size as this one!"
"We absolutely must make a pair of twin beauties!"
The guards were taken aback for a moment, then suppressed a burst of laughter and shouted, "Yes, Deputy Commander! We'll be right there!"
...
"No!"
Dai Mubai let out a desperate roar in his heart!
A pig has made him wish he were dead!
Another one?
Are they going to have twins too?
What are they trying to do?!
Rumble...
Not long after, the ground shook.
Sure enough, the guards brought in another cage.
Inside was another large, iron-bristled boar, covered in black mud and with protruding tusks.
This pig looks even bigger than the one we just saw.
"Go in."
Zhu Zhuqing flicked her finger, and another packet of pink powder was sprinkled in.
Click!
The iron gate opened, and a second sow was shoved inside.
At this point, the space inside the cage was completely filled.
Two enormous creatures weighing 500 pounds each, plus a thin and crippled Dai Mubai.
"Roar!!"
"Aww!!"
The two pigs pounced at the same time!
One on the left and one on the right! One on each side!
At the same time, they attacked Dai Mubai.
"Hmm!"
Dai Mubai was sandwiched in the middle, feeling like his internal organs were about to burst!
On the left is a huge, foul-smelling mouth!
On the right is a rough pig's trotter!
At that moment, the image of him having a carefree time with those twin sisters at the Rose Hotel flashed through his mind.
Compare that to now...
This is retribution!
This is karma in this lifetime!
"Die, let me die..."
Dai Mubai rolled his eyes, and in extreme pain and humiliation, he finally couldn't bear it any longer and completely fainted.
But!
How could Zhu Zhuqing let him get away so easily?
"Splash him to wake him up."
Zhu Zhuqing said coldly.
Whoosh!
A bucket of ice-cold salt water was poured directly onto Dai Mubai!
"Ah!!!"
The excruciating pain stimulated his wounds, and Dai Mubai woke up screaming again, continuing to face the twins.
...
Douluo Continent.
Soto, in front of the Rose Hotel.
The twin sisters who had once been kept by Dai Mubai were now staring at the sky, their faces ashen and their bodies trembling.
"Sister..."
"That young master Dai was really slapped by a pig..."
"And there are two of them..."
"Who would dare say they've ever had a relationship with Young Master Dai? It's disgusting!"
"Hurry up! Throw away all the things Young Master Dai gave us before! They're bad luck!"
...
Outside the Xiao family gate.
Seeing the appalling scene inside the cage, the last trace of hatred in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes vanished along with Dai Mubai's miserable state.
She found that she wasn't as excited as she had imagined. Instead, she felt a sense of relief and peace.
"So, what I used to care about and hate was this thing."
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head and gave a self-deprecating smile.
She turned around, and her Purple Cloud Wings suddenly unfurled, propelling her into the sky and soaring into the azure heavens.
"Dai Mubai, you might as well rot in this pigsty."
"And I..."
"I'm going to follow the Boss and see the wider world!"
Images flow across the sky.
[Ding! Due to the fact that the transformation of the "Soul Beast Realm" in the Douluo Continent is not yet complete.]
[The Heavenly Curtain has decided to randomly select another soul beast with "special abilities" for cross-industry employment guidance!]
[Target locked: Core area of Star Dou Great Forest - Emperor Auspicious Beast - Three-Eyed Golden Lion!]
[Teleportation Location: Battle Through the Heavens world, Central Continent, Pill Domain—Sacred Pill City, Pill Tower Square!]
...
Douluo Continent, Star Dou Great Forest.
"Roar?!"
While basking in the sun by the Lake of Life, enjoying the worship of all the beasts, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion suddenly felt an emptiness beneath its rear end.
Her fur, as dazzling as gold and crystal, suddenly bristled, and before her third vertical eye could release its light of destiny, the entire beast was sucked in by an irresistible spatial force!
"Auspicious Beast!!"
Having just recovered from the blow, the Red King looked at the empty grassland and let out a heart-wrenching scream:
"It's over! The Auspicious Beast is lost!!"
"With Boss Di Tian gone and the Auspicious Beast missing, my head is in grave danger!!"
...
Meanwhile, in the Battle Through the Heavens world.
Sacred Pill City, Pill Tower Square.
Today is the annual high-level alchemist assessment conference of the Pill Tower.
In the square, thousands of stone platforms were neatly arranged, and thousands of alchemists from all over the Central Plains were sweating profusely as they manipulated the flames to refine medicinal herbs.
The air was filled with a strong aroma of medicine and a burnt smell.
On the high platform in the center of the square, the three giants of Pill Tower were looking down with furrowed brows.
"This year's prospective students aren't good enough."
Xuan Kongzi sighed and said, "That little vixen from the Cao family hasn't even made a move yet, and the chances of the others exploding are too high."
"Especially those promising talents who are good at refining seventh-grade pills, even though their steps are all correct, they always lack just a little bit of luck and fail at the last moment."
In the art of alchemy, seven parts depend on skill and three parts on luck.
Sometimes, at the moment of elixir formation, a tiny bit of ethereal luck is needed.
Just as Xuan Kongzi was lamenting how difficult it was to obtain good fortune.
Boom!!
The space above the square suddenly cracked open!
A dazzling golden light fell like a meteorite, hitting the very center of the examination room, the area with the highest failure rate!
"Roar!!"
A clear and melodious roar, yet carrying supreme majesty, resounded!
The golden light dissipated.
A majestic soul beast, three meters long, with a body that looked as if it were cast in gold, covered with strange scales, and with a third vertical eye on its forehead, appeared before everyone!
Three-Eyed Golden Lion!
As soon as she landed, before she could even figure out what was going on, she felt a wave of heat around her and countless eyes staring at her.
"Bold humans!"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion spoke in human language, and an extreme aura of light and fire erupted from its body:
"I am Emperor Auspicious Beast! Who dares to bring me here?!"
She instinctively wanted to unleash the Judgment of Fate to teach these ignorant humans a lesson.
However, at the very moment she appeared.
Something amazing happened!
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The dozens of alchemy cauldrons that were hovering on the verge of exploding around her suddenly stabilized!
The originally volatile and out-of-control medicinal liquids miraculously fused together after being touched by the faint golden auspicious energy emanating from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One after another, the tribulations of the Core Formation stage gathered in the sky!
"It's done?! It's done?!"
A seventh-grade alchemist, his face covered in soot, stared blankly at the round, plump pill in his hand, which even had pill patterns appearing on it:
"My hand clearly slipped just now, it was supposed to explode..."
"How did it suddenly become a success? And the quality is even higher than I expected?!"
It wasn't just him!
Within a radius of 100 meters, the success rate of all alchemists in producing pills soared to 100% at this moment!
Some of the sixth-grade pills even mutated directly into seventh-grade pills!
The entire room fell silent.
All eyes shifted from the pills and fixed on the golden lion in the center of the arena, its mane bristling.
A mythical beast! This is a living auspicious creature!
On the high platform.
The three giants, Xuan Kongzi, Xuan Yi, and Tian Leizi, instantly teleported into the arena!
Xuan Kongzi's old eyes, which had seen countless vicissitudes of life, shone brightly like a 10,000-watt light bulb as he stared intently at the vertical eye on the forehead of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
"This fluctuation..."
"It's not Dou Qi!"
"Her existence can actually directly interfere with reality and increase the success rate of alchemy?!"
"This isn't a soul beast! This is clearly the alchemist's own father!!"
"Hey! What are you looking at, old man!"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion felt uneasy under Xuan Kongzi's fanatical gaze and bared its teeth, saying:
"Believe it or not, I can unleash a ray of destiny upon you and bring you bad luck for the rest of your life!"
"Bad luck?"
Xuan Kongzi was not angry at all; instead, he burst into laughter, his smile as kind as that of the wolf in sheep's clothing who was trying to lure Little Red Riding Hood away.
"Little one, don't get so angry."
"Your name is Emperor Auspicious Beast, right?"
"I see you have extraordinary talent; you're destined to join my Pill Tower!"
As he spoke, Xuan Kongzi casually pulled out a handful of Rank 8 pills and fed them to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion like feeding a dog:
"Are you hungry? Here, have some candy."
An eighth-grade pill?!
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion twitched its nose.
It smells so good! It's a million times more fragrant than the raw meat and spiritual fruits in the Star Dou Great Forest!
The energy it contained made every pore on her body cheer!
"Hmph, don't think you can bribe me with a few candies."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion said no, but its body language betrayed its words.
With a flick of her tongue, she swallowed the pair of grade eight pills!
Crunchy and delicious! Chicken flavor!
Boom!
The immense medicinal power dissolved within her body, and her cultivation level instantly soared!
"It smells so good..."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's vertical eyes narrowed into slits, and its tail wagged involuntarily.
"Is it delicious?"
The elder in black robes also came over, smiling as he took out a bottle of high-grade seventh-rank pills:
"As long as you stay in Pill Tower, you can have as many of these beans as you want from now on."
"Not only will we feed you, but we'll also build you a luxurious home where someone will groom you and give you massages every day."
"You only need to do one job..."
Xuan Yi pointed to the eager alchemists around him:
"Sit right next to them while they are refining pills."
"If they want to pat your head or rub your paws, just don't bite them."
That's it?
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was stunned.
She also had to constantly guard against being hunted by humans in the Star Dou Great Forest, and was also responsible for suppressing the luck of the world.
Here, you can just sit and let people touch you, and then you can eat eighth-grade pills like food?
"Make a deal!"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion shamelessly sprawled on the ground, exposing her belly, and emitted a comfortable purring sound:
"Come on! Touch me all you want! As long as you give me pills, you can touch me until I'm bald!"
...
Thus, Pill Tower gained another legend.
If you see a group of eighth-grade Grandmasters, or even ninth-grade Grandmasters, queuing up in the Alchemy Plaza, holding various rare pills and waiting with pious expressions to touch the head of a golden lion, please don't be surprised.
Because that's because they're trying to ride on someone else's good luck.
"Line up! Don't push!"
At this moment, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was lying on a specially made white jade platform, surrounded by various jade bottles.
As she chewed the seventh-grade pill like it was fried beans, she lazily stretched out a paw:
"Next!"
An eighth-grade alchemist excitedly stepped forward, carefully grasped the claw, and shook it vigorously:
"My Lord, Emperor Auspicious Beast!"
"Please bless my batch of First Elixir to be successfully completed! This is an eighth-grade Bodhi Elixir offered to you!"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion accepted the pill and patted the man's head with its large paw: "Granted! Go!"
The alchemist was overjoyed and excitedly ran back to refine pills.
The result... Boom!
The elixir is complete! Top-grade!
"Amazing! Lord Emperor Auspicious Beast is amazing!!" The entire audience cheered!
...
Douluo Continent, Star Dou Great Forest.
The Red King looked at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in the light screen, its mouth greasy with food and being worshipped like an ancestor by countless powerful figures.
Then look at the ten-year-old wind baboon in his hand that he had just caught and was going to give to the Auspicious Beast for lunch.
The Red King silently threw away the Wind Baboon.
"What kind of nanny is this...?"
"They live the life of emperors and mythical beasts over there..."
"Here, we're just suffering alongside a bunch of poor bastards."
"My Lord Beast, please don't come back."
"If possible, could you send some of those candies back?"
"Even the scraps you left behind seem to have a higher cultivation level than mine!"
...
Battle Through the Heavens world, Pill Domain.
The core area of Sacred Pill City, a palace exclusively for Emperor Auspicious Beast.
This palace was built overnight by the three giants of Pill Tower using earth-attribute Dou Zun powerhouses. It was made entirely of warm, lustrous jade and was extremely luxurious.
Inside the palace at this moment.
"Snap, snap..."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was lying on a soft couch covered with the fur of a thousand-year-old fire fox, its two front paws holding a jade bottle larger than its head, pouring the pills inside into its mouth like it was eating candy.
Those aren't ordinary candies.
That was a peak seventh-grade pill, the Transformation Pill.
There's also an eighth-grade pill, the Imperial Supreme Pill!
Outside the world, each of these pills could cause a bloodbath.
Here, these are just her snacks.
"Belch--"
Finally, after swallowing who knows how many hundreds of pills, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion let out a burp filled with a rich medicinal aroma.
A hazy light suddenly flashed in her originally languid golden eyes.
"It's so hot..."
"My body feels like it's about to explode."
Buzz!!
A dazzling golden beam of light suddenly erupted from her body, piercing through the palace dome and soaring into the sky!
The sky, which was originally clear and cloudless, was suddenly filled with colorful auspicious clouds!
Amidst the auspicious clouds, the faint sounds of dragons roaring and phoenixes howling could be heard, and countless golden petals fell from the sky, landing throughout the entire Sacred Pill City!
An extraordinary phenomenon, auspicious signs coming from the east!
...
Pill Tower Square.
Xuan Kongzi, who was lecturing his disciples, saw this strange phenomenon filling the sky, and his teacup trembled violently.
"This aura..."
"It's Emperor Auspicious Beast! She's about to transform into human form?!"
"Quickly! Activate the mountain-protecting formation! Anyone who dares to disturb the Auspicious Beast's transformation, I will exterminate their entire family!!"
In an instant, all the powerful figures of Pill Tower came out and surrounded the Auspicious Beast Palace, making it so crowded that not even a fly could get in.
...
Inside the palace.
The golden light gradually faded.
The enormous golden lion has disappeared.
Instead, there was a stunningly beautiful young girl curled up on a fox fur couch.
She looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, with skin as white as snow, yet with a faint pinkish hue.
Her long, wavy blonde hair cascaded down her back, reaching all the way to her ankles, each strand seemingly shimmering with sunlight.
Her features were so exquisite they seemed otherworldly, especially her eyes.
These were not the pupils of ordinary humans, but rather vertical golden pupils that exuded a wildness and nobility.
On her smooth, full forehead, a vertical golden line shimmered slightly; it was the sealed form of her third eye, adding to her mysterious allure.
She slowly opened her eyes and looked down at her flawless human body.
"This...is this what humans look like?"
The young girl raised her delicate hand and gently squeezed it.
