NOVEL NEXT Chapter 525: Those Not of Our Kind, Their Hearts Must Be Different!
Gu Yuena had lost interest in listening further.
Lin Xiao was right about everything, but he had made a critical mistake by forgetting one loophole.
That was, the bigger the promise, the more suspicious it became. How could he speak such arrogant words when even she, the dignified Silver Dragon King, couldn't achieve it?
Lin Xiao was indeed capable.
But unfortunately, his skills were misplaced.
He spouted absurd theories, forgetting that in this world, only a liar could fulfill all wishes.
"Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Xiao Wu, neither of you should be deceived by him."
"Remember, those not of our kind will always have different intentions!"
"Xiao Wu, you watch the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, don't let her do anything foolish!"
"I will personally inform Di Tian and have him guard against Lin Xiao, preventing his schemes from succeeding!"
Gu Yuena's voice echoed in the minds of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and Xiao Wu, sounding particularly jarring.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was confused and even wanted to argue with Gu Yuena, but she was suppressed by Gu Yuena's absolute authority. Xiao Wu dared not even utter a word.
Gu Yuena was satisfied.
She felt her extraordinary wisdom had been put to good use, with a sense of self-satisfaction like being the only sober one in a world of drunks. She set the final tone in a majestic tone.
"Unsolicited kindness is either deceit or theft."
"This Heavenly Snow Woman and Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion before us, though they believe they've gained benefits, have merely fallen into a meticulously woven trap and will regret it immensely one day."
After speaking, Gu Yuena no longer forcibly suppressed Na'er's consciousness. With a blink of her eyes, she was a completely different person.
Xiao Wu and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked at Na'er, whose eyes exuded a pure sort of foolishness, and both felt a sense of wistfulness.
Why did this Na'er, with her clear eyes, seem smarter than the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena?
Lin Xiao realized he had been chatting with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion for nearly an hour without noticing. What was there to talk about with these guys?
"Go, go, go!"
"Are you tired of visiting every day?"
Lin Xiao started to usher them out.
Xiao Wu wanted to say something to Lin Xiao but couldn't find a suitable opportunity.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, due to Gu Yuena's resistance towards Lin Xiao, was feeling a bit down and didn't linger.
Na'er, however, wanted to eat something before leaving.
But she found her stomach was actually a bit full.
Huh? When did she eat?
...
Lake of Life.
A silver dragon scale emitted a faint glow, forming shimmering silver subtitles.
The black dragon coiled in the depths of the Lake of Life transformed into human form, becoming a man with wild black hair, and approached the silver dragon scale.
"Those not of our kind will always have different intentions!"
"Do not trust humans lightly!"
This was a scale left by Gu Yuena. She possessed spatial power and could transmit information remotely through special means.
This also allowed her to issue commands remotely.
Di Tian looked at the two lines of text on the scale and fell into thought.
What did the Master mean by this?
Di Tian summoned the fierce beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest to collectively ponder the Silver Dragon King's decree.
Xiong Jun said, "Does this even need to be said? The Master said humans cannot be trusted! She's definitely talking about that brat Lin Xiao! Zi Ji went there and didn't even bring back the auspicious beast, and she was almost brainwashed."
Myriad Demon King said, "I agree with Xiong Jun. Indeed, humans cannot be trusted. How could a human consider our soul beasts? There's probably some conspiracy hidden behind it."
Bi Ji, however, said, "The Master said not to trust humans lightly, but she didn't say we can't trust humans at all. Perhaps we don't need to give them no chance at all, and just need to make rational judgments."
Crimson King scoffed, "Sister Bi Ji, what you said is not right. The Master had eight words before that! 'Those not of our kind will always have different intentions,' doesn't that mean we can't trust humans?"
Di Tian listened to the discussion of the fierce beasts, pondered for a moment, and then spoke:
"I called you all here to see the Master's instructions. It seems I misunderstood the relationship between the Master and that Lin Xiao. If the Master doesn't trust Lin Xiao, then we definitely cannot cooperate with Lin Xiao."
Di Tian looked at Zi Ji.
"Zi Ji, are you sure you saw the Master and Lin Xiao getting along well?"
Not only Di Tian, but all the fierce beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest turned their gaze towards Zi Ji.
Zi Ji became flustered.
"Don't look at me! I wouldn't lie, would I? The scene I saw was that Lin Xiao and the Master had a very good relationship. As for why the Master would send such a message, I don't know."
"Besides, the scenes the Auspicious Beasts saw with the power of destiny can't be fake, right?"
Zi Ji felt a little wronged.
It was as if she had inexplicably become a traitor. The behavior she witnessed between the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and the Master in Heaven Dou City seemed more like that of a traitor.
At the very least, she hadn't actively begged Lin Xiao to train her, nor had she clamored to have his children.
Di Tian frowned in thought. After careful consideration, he issued an order.
"Trust the Master."
"Lin Xiao is still our enemy. The Emperor Auspicious Beast is young and ignorant, so her words should not be taken seriously. As for why the Master remains in Heaven Dou City, it's likely due to his own considerations."
"We just need to quietly await the Master's instructions."
After all, Di Tian was the Beast God, the elder brother to all the fierce beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. His word was final.
The fierce beasts could not refute him.
...
Lake of Life.
By the lakeside.
Zi Ji transformed into her human form, propping her chin with her hand as she gazed absently at the shimmering surface of the lake, her mind occupied with other matters.
In the past few days, she had convinced herself that since both the Emperor Auspicious Beast and the Master had shown a friendly attitude towards Lin Xiao, perhaps she should also change her perspective.
After much persuasion, she had finally convinced herself. Lin Xiao was more powerful than her, and he had ridden her twice, so it was a case of "not fighting, not knowing each other." Making some necessary sacrifices in the future would be acceptable.
But why had the situation changed so drastically now?
Zi Ji felt very confused.
So, was she supposed to be enemies with Lin Xiao from now on?
The next time they met, Would she still have to shout threats at him?
But he didn't seem to give her a bad impression.
Did she even have the right to choose?
Thoughts raced through her mind, tangling her emotions like a messy skein of yarn. Finally, she let out a soft sigh.
"So annoying."
"Zi Ji."
Bi Ji had somehow appeared behind Zi Ji, gently placing her hands on her shoulders and massaging them. A mature and gentle aura emanated from her, mingled with the fresh scent of plants, which significantly soothed Zi Ji's emotions.
"Zi Ji, what are you troubled about?"
Zi Ji couldn't possibly share her inner thoughts with other fierce beasts, not even Di Tian. However, she could open up to Bi Ji.
"Bi Ji, I'm so lost."
"If we don't trust Lin Xiao, who else can we trust?"
"If we don't trust the power of destiny in the Star Dou Great Forest, then who can save us?"
"Is the final outcome inevitably confrontation? But Lin Xiao has already extended an olive branch."
Bi Ji remained silent for a moment. Without a word, she slightly crouched down and gently pulled Zi Ji's head into her embrace, exuding a kind and tender aura.
Zi Ji sank into a soft warmth, so comfortable that she forgot her worries.
There's one more chapter, it will be posted later.
