"Meow~"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion lay in Bai Zhou's arms, not resisting much, but rather looking forward to Bai Zhou and the life ahead.
It had long wanted to go play in the human World, but unfortunately, there weren't many opportunities.
After all, it was a Spirit Beast, and without a proper identity, if it rashly appeared in the human World, it would easily encounter some accidents, accidentally exposing its aura, which would be very dangerous for it.
And now, with a human like Bai Zhou as a guide, it also had a very reasonable identity—a pet.
Hmm... Although saying it out loud was a bit embarrassing, as long as it didn't say anything, no one would know!
Moreover, living by a human's side with such an identity could be said to be very safe.
Of course, the most important thing was that the human provided food and lodging...
This was very comfortable.
At this moment, to make the act complete, Bai Zhou even took out his Microcard and sent a voice message to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion: [I saw your pet, it's very cute, I like it very much. As long as it's willing, it can stay by my side, and I will treat it well.]
"What's going on? No reply. Could it be asleep?"
Seeing that the other party didn't respond, Bai Zhou still pretended to be confused, feigning ignorance that the one in his arms was the Three-Eyed Golden Lion itself.
"Hehe, idiot, didn't expect it, did you? This Beast God is hiding right beside you. Humans are so easy to fool~"
Seeing Bai Zhou's silly appearance, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's suspicion and vigilance towards Bai Zhou instantly decreased. It felt a little smug, thinking its trick had successfully fooled the other party.
However, not replying at all 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 make the Three-Eyed Golden Lion stay with him for a while longer, Bai Zhou directly used novels and TV series to trick it, starting with "Dou Qi Turning into Horse" for a taste.
"On a distant continent, there is a small city called Wutan City..."
"Dou Qi Stage Three..."
"Dou Qi Turning into Horse!"
...
Bai Zhou narrated slowly, and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion listened with great interest, reaching the climax...
Bai Zhou stopped abruptly.
"Meow! Meow meow meow!!" (And then, and then! Keep telling it!)
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion immediately became anxious.
"Hehe, it's very late today, go to bed early, I'll tell you 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 Spirit Beast bloodline, making it more impatient and easily excitable.
Seeing Bai Zhou stop telling the story halfway, it felt an itch in its heart, wishing it could scratch open Bai Zhou's head on the spot to see the ending!
"Alright, alright, I'll tell you some more when you sleep, let's go take a bath first~"
Bai Zhou laughed heartily and picked up the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
He then subconsciously lifted its tail and muttered, "Oh right, 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 its fur bristled on the spot.
The entire cat shot out dozens of meters from Bai Zhou, arching its back and baring its teeth as it looked at Bai Zhou, appearing extremely angry.
"Hoho, you can even be shy, looks like you're a little female cat~" Seeing this, Bai Zhou pretended to be surprised.
"Meow meow meow!!"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, angered and embarrassed, instantly plunged its sharp claws into the ground, as if it was about to explode the next second.
This human is too detestable...
To actually...!!
"Haha, alright, alright, it's my fault, I won't look next time, okay~"
Bai Zhou laughed heartily and quickly apologized.
"Meow meow meow!"
Upon hearing this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion still stared at Bai Zhou with an unhappy expression, but its vigilance decreased a little, and its bristling fur slightly calmed down.
"Ahem, to make up for my mistake, I'll tell you stories for two more hours tonight... Hmm, and then compensate you with a high-quality cat treat, how about that?"
Bai Zhou coughed dryly, then took out a cat treat and looked at the other party with a sincere expression.
"Meow~" (Hmph~ Seeing as your attitude is sincere, I'll reluctantly forgive you~)
Seeing the cat treat, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion finally relaxed a little, then walked towards Bai Zhou with elegant steps.
Bai Zhou squatted down, tore open the cat treat, and brought it to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's mouth.
"Slurp slurp~"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion licked the cat treat, its eyes instantly narrowed, enjoying it immensely.
"Hehe, oh right, you don't have a name yet. Your master is named Qiu'er, and it didn't tell me your name. So, how about you 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 meow, evidently not objecting and being quite satisfied with the name.
At least it wasn't ugly names like Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai, or Xiao Jin. Xiao Qiu is fine; as long as there's food.
Finally, the relationship between Bai Zhou and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion finally eased.
As for the matter of bathing, Bai Zhou no longer brought it up...
After all, a Spirit Beast like the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, similar to high-level Spirit Masters, had long reached a state of being free from dust and dirt, completely clean, so bathing was naturally not very necessary.
However, putting aside the matter of bathing, Bai Zhou now had something very important that needed to be tested...
He held the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in his arms, stroking its fur while opening the System's Wishing Tree System and starting to open blind boxes...
After all, at this moment, he was holding the Luck of more than half of the Star Dou Great Forest in his arms, so presumably, the things he opened now would definitely not be too bad.
"Hmm, let's start by simply opening a Spirit King level 'Soul Elder Level Enhancement Pill'."
Bai Zhou thought for a moment, directly made a wish, and then drew...
Previously, when he was at the Spirit Ancestor level, even by leeching off Wang Dong, the probability of getting a Spirit Ancestor Soul Elder Level Enhancement Pill was only one-tenth. Bai Zhou felt it wasn't cost-effective, so he didn't take the pill.
Now, wanting to get a Spirit King level Soul Elder Level Enhancement Pill, he didn't know what the probability was...
The next moment, the System's voice came...
[Ding~ Congratulations to the host for obtaining Soul Elder Level Enhancement Pill (Spirit King level) * 1]
"Holy crap!"
Seeing this reward, Bai Zhou's body trembled, and he almost dropped the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in his arms.
"Meow!"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, happily licking the cat treat in its paws, was also startled and kicked Bai Zhou with its hind leg in dissatisfaction.
Then it continued to lick the cat treat.
"Haha, sorry sorry~"
Bai Zhou quickly soothed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in his arms, his mouth almost splitting from smiling.
As expected, tricking the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was the most correct choice he had made.
Just as he imagined, although Wang Dong was the Daughter of Fortune, she likely hadn't fully grown yet, her Luck was contained. Wang Dong's own Luck was strong, but she couldn't share too much of it with him.
But the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was different.
The current Three-Eyed Golden Lion was already a complete form, having perfectly inherited most of the Luck power of the Star Dou Great Forest. Furthermore, it could radiate this Luck power, benefiting the surrounding life forms as well.
This was why he could draw a Spirit King level Soul Elder Level Enhancement Pill in one go!
At least it saved him more than ten days of arduous cultivation!
And what he had to pay was just a tiny bit of spirit power consumed by the Wishing Tree.
Raking in the cash!
