Chapter 212: Chapter 210: The Thoughts of the Auspicious Beast_1
"Owwoo." The Three-eyed Golden Lion blinked her beautiful large eyes, and it seemed as if she suddenly developed an understanding of something she had no thoughts about before.
Suddenly, she felt that the Auspicious Beast before her should rightfully be her possession.
Without a second thought, the Three-eyed Golden Lion swiftly ran towards Xu Ran and then looked at Zi Ji with a guarded expression.
This abrupt scene left both Zi Ji and Xu Ran somewhat bewildered.
Especially for Xu Ran, the Three-eyed Golden Lion, Wang Qiu'er, was quite nice. But it seemed she always appeared a bit possessive over food! And besides, there didn't seem to be any relationship between them yet.
If she kept blocking like a light bulb, how could he continue to be affectionate with Xiaowu in the Aquipeia Forest? And how could he chase after Zi Ji and Bi Ji?
"Since there are now two Auspicious Beasts, you needn't call me an Auspicious Beast directly anymore. It might get confusing. My name is Xu Ran, you can just call me Xu Ran from now on," Xu Ran thought for a moment and then said.
Then he glanced at the Three-eyed Golden Lion. Most importantly, he wanted to give the Three-eyed Golden Lion a name.
At this point in time, the Three-eyed Golden Lion was not yet called Wang Qiu'er.
"Yes, Lord Xu Ran," Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts responded respectfully.
"Eh? Your name is Xu Ran, then what about me?" a pleasant voice emanated from the mouth of the Three-eyed Golden Lion. Since Xu Ran was comparatively short in his human form, she simply retracted her paws, lay on the ground, and turned her golden head towards Xu Ran, curiously looking at him.
It was as though she had discovered a whole new world.
Right, she didn't have a name yet.
Since her birth, people around her had respectfully called her Auspicious Beast. She had accepted this title as her name since there was only one Auspicious Beast in each era.
But now that a second Auspicious Beast had appeared, naturally, she also needed a different title.
"Zhao Tiezhu?" Xu Ran looked at the Three-eyed Golden Lion and blurted out subconsciously.
After he spoke, the air suddenly turned cold.
Everyone stared at Xu Ran with bewildered eyes, even those completely lacking artistic sense could tell the name seemed too simple and unrefined...
It seemed that the only one who dared to tease an Auspicious Beast so directly was another Auspicious Beast.
"Zhao Tiezhu?" The atmosphere around the Three-eyed Golden Lion instantly became frosty. She had lived for five thousand years; how could she be unaware of this kind of knowledge? Clearly, Xu Ran was making fun of her!
"What, you don't like it? Then what about calling you Wang Qiu'er? How about that?" Xu Ran said, revealing a warm smile. He had intentionally chosen a rather unimpressive name to contrast with the name he wanted her to accept, encouraging her to accept the name "Wang Qiu'er."
Originally, Xu Ran had prepared a different name for the Three-eyed Golden Lion. But after thinking about it, he still felt this name had more charm.
And in the original story, Wang Qiu'er had a very sad fate, and he still wanted the Auspicious Beast to live a good life with this name, to make up for the regrets left by the original.
In the original story, the Auspicious Beast was outwitted by Tang San, becoming a part of Tang San's daughter, Tang Wutong's body. Even when she died for Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao only responded indifferently. Tang Wutong merely left, and he started practicing the Winter Fist and Winter Sword, filled with various longings. Qiu'er vanished without a trace, and not once did he seem to miss her, which was simply nauseating.
Fortunately, with him around, all the future plots would be rewritten.
"Wang Qiu'er?" The Three-eyed Golden Lion blinked, and listening to this name, something in her heart seemed to stir. She quickly grew fond of it.
"Then I will be called Wang Qiu'er from now on," the Three-eyed Golden Lion nodded. Compared to the previous name Xu Ran had given her, Wang Qiu'er sounded much more pleasant. If she let Xu Ran continue to name her, who knew what bizarre names he would come up with, so...
Even she wasn't aware that subconsciously, she had come to regard Xu Ran's opinions as extremely important.
Even for such a significant decision as choosing a name, she found herself wanting to rely on Xu Ran's preferences.
After all, Xu Ran was the only male Auspicious Beast in the world, and as the only female Auspicious Beast, she naturally clung to Xu Ran.
What can you do when there's only Xu Ran left in the world? There's no choice to pick from.
...
Seeing how the Auspicious Beast Queen Qiu'er clung to Xu Ran, Zi Ji knew her own limitations and would definitely not confront an Auspicious Beast head-on. She promptly started to introduce Xiaowu and the other ferocious beasts.
When the other ferocious beasts saw that the new Auspicious Beast did not reject Zi Ji and seemed not to be the aloof type, they were greatly surprised and quickly accepted the fact.
To Xiaowu, the established girlfriend of the Auspicious Beast, naturally, the ferocious beasts did not dare to slight her.
At the moment, only Xiaowu and the Auspicious Beast seemed to have had any substantial interaction, so how could they dare to underestimate Xiaowu? Perhaps someday soon, Xiaowu would give birth to a little Auspicious Beast.
By then, her status would soar.
"It's from the Soft Bone Rabbit family," Di Tian nodded. He was naturally well aware of the incident from more than a decade ago when the Spirit Hall Pope Bibi Dong led seven or eight Titled Douluos on a surprise raid and killed a hundred-thousand-year soft bone rabbit.
In the Aquipeia Forest, each hundred-thousand-year soul beast was incredibly rare. Even in a large gathering place for soul beasts like the Aquipeia Forest, there were not many hundred-thousand-year soul beasts.
Therefore, generally speaking, soul beasts with a "Cultivation Level" of a hundred thousand years would be protected by their fellow ferocious beasts.
But with nearly ten Titled Douluos striking at the same time, quickly slaughtering a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, there was nothing they could do. Even if they wanted to help, it would take time.
Moreover, they didn't want to trigger a large-scale conflict with humans.
Even on the Soul Land Continent, where the number of powerful soul beasts was not less than the number of powerful humans, they didn't dare to start a fight.
Human Soul Masters had the backing of the Divine Realm, while they did not have the support of a Soul Beast God above them. No matter how they fought, there would be no end to it.
If they angered that group of Human Gods, the situation for their soul beasts would become even more dangerous.
Therefore, creatures like Di Tian, the ferocious beast, were incredibly frustrated.
They were not foolish and naturally understood the principle that "when the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold." But sometimes, in the face of the growing strength of humans, they were powerless and could only protect the Silver Dragon King, waiting for the return of the Dragon God.
"It's a shame. By the time we got there, the tragedy had already happened. But such a thing will not happen a second time. That Titan Ape and Azure Oxpython will receive our focused training from now on, to prevent any accidents," Bi Ji consoled.
"It's alright, everything is in the past now. Xiaowu appreciates the seniors' kindness," Xiaowu said, pulling herself out of her dejected mood. There was no point in discussing it anymore.
"All right, don't be sad," Xu Ran said, walking over and embracing Xiaowu in his arms to soothe her.
After a while, when he saw Xiaowu's mood stabilize, he let go of her.
"Qiu'er, take good care of Xiaowu, I still have some things to do," Xu Ran said directly after catching a suggestive glance from Di Tian.
"Hmm. Got it," Wang Qiu'er pouted slightly, seriously sizing up the delicate girl in front of her. She knew that this girl was Xu Ran's girlfriend from the human world.
Looking at Xiaowu, she suddenly had the idea to Transform.
As an Auspicious Beast, she could control her appearance when Transforming.
She could Transform into any appearance she wanted.
If she were to Transform, she could make her figure incredibly curvaceous and her legs very long, and her hair much longer—she would surely be even prettier than Xiaowu.
