Chapter 144: Let Me Take a Look, So It's a Little Female Cat~

"Meow~"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion lay in Bai Zhou's arms, offering little resistance; instead, it felt quite expectant about Bai Zhou and the life to come.

It had long wanted to play in the human world, but unfortunately never had the chance.

After all, it was a Soul Beast; without a proper identity, appearing rashly in the human world would easily lead to accidents, and if its aura were accidentally exposed, it would be in grave danger.

But now, with a human like Bai Zhou as a guide, it also possessed a very reasonable identity—a pet.

Hmm... although admitting that was somewhat shameful, as long as it didn't say anything, no one would know!

Moreover, living among humans with such an identity could be described as extremely safe.

Of course, the most important part was that someone else covered its food and lodging...

That was very comfortable.

At this moment, to make the act completely convincing, Bai Zhou even took out his Micro Card and sent a voice message to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion: 【I've seen your pet; it's very cute, and I like it very much. As long as it's willing, it can stay by my side forever, and I will treat it well.】

"What's going on? No reply yet; could it be asleep?"

Seeing no response from the other party, Bai Zhou feigned confusion, pretending not to know that the one he was holding in his arms was the Three-Eyed Golden Lion itself.

"Hehe, idiot, you didn't expect this, did you? This Auspicious Beast is hiding right beside you; humans are so easy to fool~"

Seeing Bai Zhou's foolish appearance, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's suspicion and vigilance toward him instantly decreased; it felt a bit smug inside, thinking its trick had successfully duped the other party.

However, never replying wasn't good either, so it planned to find a time tomorrow to secretly reply to Bai Zhou, lest the other party become suspicious.

On the way back, in order to keep the Three-Eyed Golden Lion staying with him for a while longer, Bai Zhou directly used a serialized novel to fool it, starting with a taste of Dou Qi Transforming into Horse.

"On a distant Continent, there was a small city called Wutan City..."

"Dou Qi Level Three..."

"Dou Qi Transforming into Horse!"

Bai Zhou narrated slowly, and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion listened with great relish; just as the story reached its climax...

Bai Zhou stopped abruptly.

"Meow! Meow meow meow!!" (What next, what next! Continue telling it!) The Three-Eyed Golden Lion immediately became anxious.

"Hehe, it's very late today; go to sleep early, and I'll continue tomorrow~" Bai Zhou rubbed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's head and said with a smile.

"Meow meow meow!" (I want to listen, I want to listen!) The Three-Eyed Golden Lion actually had some feline Soul Beast bloodline; its temperament was rather impatient, and it was prone to getting carried away.

Now, seeing Bai Zhou stop halfway through the story, its heart itched, wishing it could scratch open Bai Zhou's head right then and there to see the ending! "Alright, alright, I'll tell you a bit more when we go to sleep; first, let's take a bath~"

Bai Zhou laughed heartily and lifted the Three-Eyed Golden Lion up.

Then, subconsciously lifting its tail, he muttered: "By the way, I wonder if you're a little male cat or a little female cat..."

"Meow!!!!"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion hadn't paid much attention before, but upon hearing Bai Zhou say this, it instantly clamped its tail tight and fluffed up its fur on the spot.

The entire cat shot dozens of meters away from Bai Zhou's body, arching its back and baring its teeth at Bai Zhou, looking extremely angry.

"Ho ho, you can even get shy; it seems you're a little female cat~" Seeing this, Bai Zhou said with feigned surprise.

"Meow meow meow!!"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, angered and shamed, instantly drove its sharp claws into the ground, as if it were about to explode at any second.

This human was too detestable...

To actually...!!

"Haha, alright, alright, it was my fault; next time I won't look, okay~"

Bai Zhou laughed heartily and hurriedly apologized.

"Meow meow meow!"

Hearing this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion still stared at Bai Zhou with an unhappy expression, but its vigilance decreased slightly, and its fluffed-up fur settled down a bit. "Cough, cough, to make up for my mistake, I'll tell you two extra hours of stories tonight... hmm, and then compensate you with a premium cat treat strip, how about that?"

Bai Zhou cleared his throat, then took out a cat treat strip and looked at the other party with utmost sincerity.

"Meow~" (Hmph~ Since your attitude is sincere, I'll reluctantly forgive you~)

Seeing the cat treat, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion finally relaxed slightly, then walked toward Bai Zhou with elegant steps.

Bai Zhou squatted down, tore open the cat treat, and held it out to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's mouth.

"Slurp slurp~"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion licked the cat treat, its eyes instantly narrowing in pure enjoyment.

"Hehe, by the way, you don't have a name yet; your master is called Qiu'er, and she didn't tell me your name, so how about we call you 'Xiao Qiu'?"

Bai Zhou gently stroked the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's fur and said with a smile.

"Meow~"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion let out a soft cry, clearly not objecting; it was quite satisfied with this name.

At least it wasn't an ugly name like Little Black, Little White, or Little Gold; Xiao Qiu it is, as long as there's food.

Finally, the relationship between Bai Zhou and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion eased.

As for the matter of bathing, Bai Zhou didn't bring it up again...

After all, a Soul Beast like the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was similar to a high-level Soul Master; it had long achieved the realm of being dust-free and stain-free, perfectly clean, so bathing was naturally not really necessary.

However, setting aside the bathing issue, Bai Zhou now had a very important matter to test...

Holding the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in his arms, while stroking its fur, he opened the system's Wishing Tree System and began opening Blind Boxes...

After all, he was currently holding most of the Luck of the Star Dou Great Forest in his arms, so the items drawn now would definitely not be poor.

"Hmm, let's simply open one Soul Power Increasing Pill at the Soul King level first."

Bai Zhou thought for a moment, directly made a wish, and then drew the prize...

Previously, when he was at the Soul Ancestor level, even when exploiting Wang Dong, the probability of obtaining a Soul Ancestor-level Soul Power Increasing Pill was only one in ten; Bai Zhou felt it wasn't worth it, so he hadn't taken any pills.

Now, wanting to obtain a single Soul King Grade Soul Increasing Pill, I wonder what the probability is...

The next moment, the System's voice arrived...

【Ding~ Congratulations Host, you have obtained Soul King Grade Soul Increasing Pill *1】

"Holy crap!"

Seeing this reward, Bai Zhou's tiger-like body trembled, nearly causing him to drop the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in his hand.

"Meow!"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, happily licking a cat treat held in its paws, was also startled by the shock and dissatisfiedly kicked Bai Zhou with its hind legs.

Then it continued licking the cat treat.

"Haha, sorry, sorry~"

Bai Zhou hurriedly soothed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in his arms, his mouth nearly twisting from smiling.

Indeed, tricking the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was the most correct choice he had made.

Just as he had imagined, although Wang Dong was a daughter of Luck, she likely had not yet matured; her Luck was concealed, and while Wang Dong herself possessed strong Luck, she could not share too much with him.

But the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was different.

The current Three-Eyed Golden Lion was already in its Complete Form, perfectly inheriting most of the Luck Power of the Star Dou Great Forest, and could even radiate this Luck Power outward, allowing surrounding lives to benefit as well.

Only this could allow him to draw a Soul King Grade Soul Increasing Pill on the first try! This saved at least ten or so days of bitter cultivation! And all he had to pay was a tiny bit of soul power consumed by the Wishing Tree.

What a huge profit!
