Chapter 35 Auspicious Beast, what exactly did you do?

Seeing this, the Earth Dragon and the Wind Dragon also lay down on either side. The three Dragon Beasts thus formed a triangular formation to protect Jiang Bai in the center, vigilantly watching everything around them.

Time passed slowly in the silence.

The night at Emerald Lake was beautiful; the lake surface reflected the starry sky and the bright moon, and the fluorescent plants by the lakeside emitted a soft blue-green glow.

At midnight, a slight rustling sound came from the direction of Lake Heart Island.

The three Dragon Beasts raised their heads in alert simultaneously, their Dragon pupils flickering with a faint light in the darkness.

A golden figure was seen peeking and creeping out from the edge of the dense forest. The golden flames beneath her four paws were particularly conspicuous in the night, yet she carefully suppressed them to avoid emitting too bright a light.

It was the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

She seemed to want to sneak out, moving with such lightness that it was almost silent.

Her golden pupils darted around, first vigilantly scanning the surroundings to confirm that Bi Ji and the other Emerald Swans were not paying attention to this side, and then she tiptoed toward the lakeside.

The three Dragon Beasts exchanged a look, seeing doubt and vigilance in each other’s eyes.

But thinking that this was the Auspicious Beast, a being that even Bi Ji had to treat with respect, they dared not act rashly and could only maintain their lying posture, pretending to be asleep.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion soon arrived near them.

She first curiously examined the three Dragon Beasts, her gaze lingering on them for a moment before finally falling on Jiang Bai in the center.

Moonlight shone through the gaps in the leaves onto the young man’s face, outlining his delicate features.

"This human—" the Three-Eyed Golden Lion muttered softly, "actually looks quite good—"

She slowly circled around Jiang Bai, observing him with her three eyes.

Out of some indescribable curiosity and impulse, the blood-red vertical eye on her forehead slowly opened, and an invisible ripple carrying the aura of fate quietly spread, enveloping Jiang Bai’s entire body.

The blood-colored light in the vertical eye fluctuated violently, as if a giant boulder had been thrown into a calm lake!

She sensed countless intertwined threads of fate extending from this human, some thick and bright, others thin and dim.

But what shocked her the most was Jiang Bai’s Luck!

"Hiss—!"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion gasped, and her vertical eye closed instantly.

"This human’s Luck—how could it be so high? And his threads of fate—it’s as if they were specifically marked!"

Could this human be—?

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion’s heart was pounding.

She withdrew her Eye of Fate, but could not withdraw her overwhelming curiosity.

The secrets hidden within this seemingly ordinary human youth were far more numerous than she had imagined.

She circled around Jiang Bai two more times, each step taken extremely lightly, fearing she might disturb something.

Finally, she stopped in front of Jiang Bai, lowered her massive head, and stared intently at his sleeping face with her three eyes.

Curiosity. She was too curious.

As the Auspicious Beast, she was naturally close to profound powers like fate and Luck.

She had seen the threads of fate of countless living beings, but this was the first time she had seen one like Jiang Bai’s.

She wanted to see more clearly. She wanted to know what was hidden in that halo.

A bold idea germinated and spread in her heart, eventually overwhelming her reason and caution.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion took a deep breath, slowly lowered her head, and gently pressed the blood-red vertical eye in the center of her forehead against Jiang Bai’s brow.

The moment they made contact— "Hum!!!"

An invisible hum exploded on the Soul level!

Circles of strange, distorted halos erupted from the center of their foreheads, instantly enveloping Jiang Bai and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion’s bodies!

"!!!"

The three Dragon Beasts instantly woke from their feigned sleep, their Dragon pupils wide, almost popping out of their sockets!

They stood up abruptly, subconsciously wanting to rush forward and separate their master from the Auspicious Beast.

But the aura emitted by the halo made it impossible for them to move an inch!

"This—what is going on?!"

"Oh no! If anything happens to the Auspicious Beast, we—we will likely be minced into meat paste by that Senior!"

The three Dragon Beasts were extremely anxious, yet they were helpless.

They could only watch helplessly as the two figures in the cocoon of light gradually blurred, as if they were about to merge into one.

And at this moment, inside the halo, Jiang Bai’s long-dormant Sea of Spirit surged with monstrous waves!

The originally dark and chaotic space of consciousness was violently intruded upon by a golden torrent!

That torrent carried fragments of information as vast as the sea.

Di Tian’s stern teachings, Bi Ji’s gentle caresses, running in the forest—

These pieces of information were too vast and too chaotic, crashing against Jiang Bai’s mental barriers like a tsunami.

At the same time, Jiang Bai’s memories also emerged in the Three-Eyed Golden Lion’s Sea of Spirit.

Two forces formed a perfect cycle between the two of them.

It is unknown how much time passed. The light slowly dissipated, the distorted halos retracted, and finally turned into two specks of light, one merging into Jiang Bai’s brow, and the other into the Three-Eyed Golden Lion’s vertical eye.

The lakeside returned to silence. Jiang Bai was still lying under the tree, his breathing steady.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion took two steps back, her three eyes filled with confusion and shock.

She could feel that something had been added to the depths of her Soul.

Some memory fragments that did not belong to her, some vague understanding of the human World, and a peculiar, warm sense of connection.

And in the distance, in the center of Lake Heart Island, Bi Ji, who was meditating with her eyes closed, seemed to sense something.

She immediately flew over.

Bi Ji looked at the stumbling Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and for the first time, a look of gravity and deep thought appeared on her stunningly beautiful face.

"Auspicious Beast, what exactly have you done?"
