Chapter 111 Questioning the Heart
"Ahem, then you'll have to let me touch you a few more times."
The words sounded a bit lewd, but Xie Mo just wanted to pet the big cat a little more, so what was wrong with that?
"Is just touching it enough? Do I need a soul bone or something?"
"If needed, I can ask Di Tian and the others for it."
The three-eyed golden lion tilted its head and looked at Xie Mo, its small head filled with great confusion. Although it was ignorant of the ways of the world, it knew the importance of soul bones to soul masters. After all, Di Tian sometimes scared it by telling stories of soul masters killing it to take its bones in order to scare it away from going out to play.
"Ahem, if you have any, a few more wouldn't be a problem."
He went to great lengths to help his friends and family grow up. Putting aside everything else, risking being beaten by Di Tian to deceive children was enough.
However, the three-eyed golden lion's naivety still made his conscience slightly uneasy.
"But you can't let any other humans or soul beasts touch you, not even your head."
Just kidding, what is conscience? This big cat is almost turning into his shape.
"Not even Brigitte?"
The three-eyed golden lion raised its head, its golden mane fluttering in the breeze, like a warm scarf swaying in the snow.
Looking up at the clear sky, I realized that winter was already halfway over, and the weather was still a bit cold. However, there was no concept of hot or cold here at the Lake of Life.
Bringing his thoughts back from the horse farm, Xie Mo nodded gently.
"I won't let any other soul beasts get close to my Armor of Hope. It will always belong to you. In other words, you can only be touched by me. Isn't that reasonable? I'm actually at a disadvantage."
Did we lose money?
The three-eyed golden lion blinked its eyes. The armor and such that the other party had previously possessed were very beneficial to its cultivation. It could be said that there was no treasure in the Star Dou Great Forest that could compare to it. The other party had given it only one of the treasures to use, but it only allowed the other party to touch it once. It seemed that it was indeed not very kind to Xie Mo.
"it is good."
"I'll ask Di Tian for some soul bones for you then, but your treasure will belong to me now."
After adjusting its lying position, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion said confidently that it would not let the other party suffer a loss, so that the other party would keep using it.
As for the soul bone—it believes in the Heavenly Emperor!
He waved his hand and quietly removed the soul power barrier. He wasn't stupid; he had already set up a barrier to prevent the sound from getting out when he tricked the auspicious beast into becoming his pet cat in public.
As for whether any spirit beasts or the Three-Eyed Golden Lion will later say that he was lying to them, we'll talk about that later. Let's lie first and then talk about it, planting the concept in their minds beforehand.
Touching the soft fur of the three-eyed golden lion, Xie Mo suddenly revealed a self-deprecating smile. He could only find humor in his misery now.
His motto in life is "If you don't enjoy life early, you'll suffer in the next life," a motto he came up with when he first transmigrated.
He thought he could transmigrate to the world of cultivation and become a holy son or something, but in the end he and Ma Hongjun were orphans in a small village, barely able to support themselves. The huge contrast led Xie Mo to make this motto.
The air here is fresh and cultivation is fast, but that's about it. It's just too desolate. The long lifespan and the difficulty in awakening intelligence mean that the soul beast race has not yet formed a real society, not even a tribe.
Compared to the bustling and prosperous human world, he preferred to cultivate at a slower pace.
Xie Mo couldn't help but tap his head. He had been thinking of cultivating diligently so that the day he could say no to anyone at will would come sooner.
But when he thought of those wonderful people and things, he felt a little envious.
"They don't even learn from being taught a lesson."
Xie Mo cursed himself, and the frustration in his heart finally subsided.
He was just an ordinary person. When he was a reader, he fantasized about what it would be like to enter a book. But when he actually entered, he became a little anxious and uncertain. Unless he was in immediate danger, he might not be as good as other readers.
"Why are you hitting yourself? Do you need me to help you?"
The three-eyed golden lion's eyes revealed an eager look.
"No need, I can do it myself."
Xie Mo slowly stretched and summoned the Armor of Hope, lying down on the Three-Eyed Golden Lion once more.
"Xie Mo, you're really good."
The three-eyed golden lion happily praised Xie Mo, then carefully changed to a more comfortable position to lie down. It didn't actually know how to cultivate; for so many years, it had just eaten and slept, with the most running around when chasing prey.
"Just remember what I said."
Xie Mo slowly closed his eyes. The warm winter sun shone on the man and the beast. Without the disturbance of the soul beast, with each breath, golden and red light gradually flowed around them, making them look incredibly beautiful.
Am I a saint?
Xie Mo asked in his heart.
No, I am not, and I never will be.
Can I always make the right actions and choices?
No, no one can do that. Human hearts are unpredictable and nothing lasts forever.
So, should I live for myself?
Of course I want to! If I traveled here and don't do what I want, then what's the point of traveling here?
He will be willing to accept the effort and costs involved.
So what will my future be like?
I hope it's what I hope for.
In an instant, the aura emanating from Xie Mo's Armor of Hope grew stronger and stronger. Who could say that their hope wasn't hope?
After an unknown amount of time, Di Tian emerged from the space and found that Bi Ji had noticed him and made a shushing gesture to him.
As expected, the area around the Lake of Life was very quiet, with only Brigitte and the Demon King remaining.
This place has been temporarily occupied by auspicious beasts, so it's best for them to stay away. This is the idea of the other beast kings.
Looking in another direction, Di Tian naturally realized who had created that seemingly hopeful power.
"That's interesting."
Di Tian looked at Xie Mo on the back of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and suddenly felt a toothache. A surge of bitterness welled up in his heart. How long had he been inside? How did the outside become like this? Had his beloved auspicious beast already transformed into Xie Mo's shape?
A golden-red halo had appeared on the bodies of the man and the beast, making them look like a hazy veil from a distance.
"Let's forget about it."
Di Tian slowly shook his head. Judging from the situation, he would need to rest for a while longer.
He originally wanted to drag Xie Mo inside to continue working, since the master's injuries still required help, but seeing Xie Mo's condition, he felt a little embarrassed. It was definitely not because Xie Mo was the only servant he could command right now.
Once Xie Mo had rested, he took Xie Mo into the small space and squeezed him hard. He wouldn't call himself Emperor Tian until Xie Mo's legs were too weak to walk. He would at least help his master treat his injuries for two days and one night.
Di Tian glanced at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion again and sensed that its aura seemed to be somewhat intertwined with Xie Mo's. He felt a headache coming on.
It's all Xie Mo's fault!
