Chapter 257 The Auspicious Beast Qingdi, Emperor Tian After Finishing His business
"You—what's wrong with you?" Lin Nuo hesitated, her expression full of confusion.
"What's wrong with me?" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's smile remained unchanged, but instead deepened slightly. The Goddess of Life's maxed-out, approachable face made this smile, which was gentle and loving, and even gave people a slightly sweet feeling.
"Never mind, it's nothing." Lin Nuo let it all out in one breath.
Whether it was because she borrowed the appearance of the Goddess of Life, or because she was not a sequela of being bio-infected by Princess Tang, she did not transform into the cold and aloof Queen Qiu'er, but had a very gentle personality.
Faced with the face of the Goddess of Life, Lin Nuo really couldn't say anything harsh.
Regardless of how convincingly the three-eyed golden-faced man disguised himself, he appeared gentle and serene, almost identical to the real person when not fighting.
As for whether she is truly gentle and serene, those who saw her beauty and wanted to do something wicked along the way will tell you what it feels like to be planted in the ground.
Just like the fiery, surging golden dragon blood beneath her approachable exterior.
The most striking feature is the contrast.
The three-eyed golden-faced man stopped pretending to be confused with Lin Nuo and his smile faded slightly: "I know what you want to ask, and I also know who I'm using this face to get close to you, but I still intend to risk using this face to get close to you."
She lowered her head slightly, reached out and gently touched her delicate, flawless face, her expression somewhat complicated.
She truly hadn't expected that Lin Nuo, the sixth brother, would let her go but still leave the Goddess of Life's divine consciousness in her spiritual sea. As a result, the Goddess of Life's divine consciousness emerged as soon as she successfully transformed, and she was caught red-handed, almost scared to death.
It was a risky loan to borrow it anyway, and Lin Nuo could clearly see the other party's identity as a god-king and his three-eyed golden appearance from his memories.
What is adventure?
Even knowing the extreme risks involved, she still did it because she was blinded by love.
Even though the Goddess of Life explained to her that the divine consciousness was left behind to protect her, the Three-Eyed Golden-Faced Woman still thought that Lin Nuo, the sixth brother, had ill intentions. It wasn't until shortly after she actually left the Star Dou Great Forest that the mysterious blue-gold power made her see the situation clearly.
Even now, what was contained within that blue-gold divine power is still imprisoned within her sea of consciousness by the divine power of life.
The Three-Eyed Golden-Faced One didn't know what the "byproduct" of this divine power was, but every time he looked at it through his spiritual sea, which was enveloped by the divine power of life, he would feel a tremor from the depths of his soul.
It's like—once it accomplishes what it wants to do, it will be doomed forever.
It wasn't until then that she understood how much unspoken concern Lin Nuo had contained in his parting words.
Well, pure Dihua, Lin Nuo just didn't want to see Tang San's eternal great success, and just wanted to cause Tang San some trouble. But in the eyes of a love-struck person, he cares about me so much, he cares about me!
He loves me!
Logical closure.
So even though she knew there was danger in the outside world and that an unknown entity was plotting against her, she still went out without hesitation.
Anyway, I'm not without someone to protect me. What's wrong with taking a risk in pursuit of true love?
"The goddess has agreed to let me borrow her appearance, and has even given me a name." The three-eyed golden lion lowered its hand and looked at Lin Nuo with a smile.
"From now on, I'll be called Qingdi~ When the goddess saw that I borrowed her appearance to take human form, she took into account both the characteristics of this appearance and my status and bloodline as an imperial auspicious beast when she named me. That's why she gave me this name, which is both fresh and natural, yet also domineering and powerful. I like it very much~"
"It's only because the goddess is kind and benevolent that she could do this. If it were a god-king, he would be in deep trouble if he did it."
Lin Nuo's tone was helpless.
But what can we do now that it's already done?
Since things have come to this, let's eat first.
It wasn't good to stay in the sky all the time, so Lin Nuo took her to the most luxurious hotel in Mingdu, the Mingyue Hotel, and ordered a large table of specialties from the Sun Moon Empire. Lin Nuo even provided the ingredients for many of the dishes himself.
What does a hotel know about high-end ingredients? Only seasoned gourmets like Lin Nuo and Xuan Zi know what true gourmet food is.
Three-eyed Golden Beauty — oh, now I should call her Qingdi. Lin Nuo noticed that she really liked food. While Mingyue Hotel might not be as good as those hidden gems in the city when it comes to a single type of cuisine, its variety was definitely the most abundant in the entire Mingdu.
While the chefs here may not be absolutely satisfactory, they are not disappointing either, and they don't waste the high-quality ingredients provided by Lin Nuo.
This will become the landing point for all the participating teams in this year's Soul Fighting Tournament in a few days, and what they use to show off will definitely be the best.
Except for one particular rabbit.
After all, a cunning rabbit has three burrows, and what's being used to demonstrate this is definitely outdated, several generations behind.
The Sun Moon Empire only hides its most advanced soul-guided technology, not its everyday life. It should showcase what it can, so as to attract the heartbroken commoners of the Douluo Three Kingdoms to join the glorious evolution.
And Mingyue Hotel certainly didn't let Lin Nuo lose face in front of Qingdi. Apart from exchanging a few words at the beginning of the meal, the two of them devoured the entire meal in a whirlwind. A whole table of dishes was served, and the speed at which the dishes were served couldn't even keep up with the speed at which the two of them ate.
"The human world is still quite interesting."
After a big meal, Qingdi rubbed her tummy and said this.
"There's plenty of food. The human world isn't just interesting in terms of food. We can experience other things later. The question now is, did you tell Di Tian and the others when you came out?" Lin Nuo asked lazily, picking his teeth.
"Do you think I dare to say it?" Qingdi rolled her eyes helplessly. "If I had, Di Tian would have come looking for trouble with you long ago."
Lin Nuo paused in picking his teeth before saying, "Actually, I'm not afraid of Di Tian anymore. Human soul masters cultivate faster than soul beasts, and besides, I'm a cheat code. Right now, even Di Tian could—uh, exchange a few blows?"
Putting everything else aside, Di Tian probably couldn't handle two plane consciousnesses that had already reached the level of priests without using the Dragon God Claw, right?
Even if Di Tian had a way to escape his world and not fight against his two plane consciousnesses, but instead directly target Lin Nuo himself, his own combat power plus his ninth soul skill, Dragon Phoenix True Spirit, would still be enough to hold his own against Di Tian.
After all, he had obtained his ninth spirit ring and become a Title Douluo. The remaining levels were not very important to him; at most, they were just the accumulation of spirit power and the expansion of basic values.
In terms of mechanics, Lin Nuo is only one third soul core away from reaching the complete form, so he's not really afraid to fight Di Tian now.
However, Qingdi took his humble words, which were meant to save face for Di Tian, to heart. Soul beasts don't have such complicated understandings. When Lin Nuo said he could exchange a few blows with Di Tian, Qingdi genuinely believed that's what he meant.
"So fast? I remember a few years ago you couldn't even handle those titled Douluo from Shrek Academy on your own, right?" Qingdi looked at him with some surprise.
She didn't doubt that Lin Nuo was exaggerating. She had witnessed Lin Nuo kill Shrek Academy's Title Douluo with his Soul Saint cultivation. Moreover, the other party was the successor of the God King, who was about to inherit the godhood and become a god. He couldn't be judged by ordinary standards.
However, she still earnestly reminded Lin Nuo: "I don't know what standard you use to measure the gap between yourself and Di Tian, but I want to tell you, don't underestimate Di Tian. He is someone who watched me grow up, and in terms of status, he is equivalent to half a father to me. I know better than anyone how strong he is."
"Perhaps you are now equivalent to a Limit Douluo in human terms, but the gap between a Limit Douluo and Di Tian is still very large."
"I agree with that," Lin Nuo nodded.
As for what standard he used to measure Di Tian's combat strength?
Speaking of this, Lin Nuo actually felt a little embarrassed.
If we rank the powerhouses who reached the pinnacle of their abilities in the original novel of Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect according to their performance from strongest to weakest, Di Tian's performance is truly disappointing; he suffered setbacks in every aspect.
Whether it was the operation in which Zhongli Wu, the modified god, led many titled Douluo of the Holy Spirit Cult to try to hunt down the Beast God Di Tian, or the operation in which he launched a beast tide to attack the city and was then locked in a dark room by Xuanzi and Mu En, or his final battle against Huo Yuhao at the peak of the sky ten thousand meters high.
In the battle against the Holy Spirit Cult, Di Tian not only failed to kill all of Zhong Liwu's group of clowns who had no limits, but was also seriously injured by Zhong Liwu.
Can you believe that?
When Lin Nuo and Electrolux went to find the Evil Emperor, the Evil Emperor didn't even glance at Zhong Liwu before instantly crippling this god-like figure with a single move. And he was just an afterthought, since the Evil Emperor's main targets were Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui.
Di Tian was actually able to be injured by Zhong Liwu. And even if he was injured, he still couldn't kill Zhong Liwu, despite his unparalleled spatial abilities.
This expressiveness is absolutely amazing!
I won't go into too much detail about the beast tide incident, since it was Mu En who gave Xuanzi a power boost with the Golden Tree. Although Di Tian's performance in being sealed under such circumstances was rather weak, it was understandable if you had to put it into words.
He made very few appearances in the original work, and had almost no highlights. The only highlight was when Huo Yuhao summoned him from afar. Di Tian simply descended and transferred a portion of his power to Huo Yuhao, which scared away Ye Xishui. This can be considered top-notch.
As for the time when the Spirit Pagoda was established, Di Tian severely injured Xiong Jun with a single claw without even using his true form, Lin Nuo didn't know how to evaluate it.
If you call him awesome, he practically crushed Xiong Jun, who possessed extreme combat power and focused on defense and strength, with a single swipe of his claw, rendering him unable to rise again. If you call him weak, his powerful performance was entirely a case of being a bully within his own ranks; he was practically the Fighting Spirit Empire among soul beasts, a pure internal war god.
He immediately showed filial piety to the Soul Masters as soon as he stepped out the door, lost to Shrek Academy first and then suffered a setback at the Holy Spirit Cult. He was an expert in internal battles but an amateur in external battles, and he sat at the same table as EDG.
The other times he made a move, he was at most at the NPC level, let alone a superior person. The reason he wasn't evaluated was only because of his status as the Beast God.
If it weren't for Xuanzi, a Limit Douluo who had truly exhausted all his strength, protecting him, Lin Nuo would have given Di Tianguang a comprehensive evaluation of "he had completely exhausted all his strength" based on his few inexplicable attacks in the original work.
He is truly unworthy of the title of Beast God Emperor.
Lin Nuo's way of assessing Di Tian's combat strength was to overestimate Di Tian's strength as much as possible based on Xie Di's strength. After all, Lin Nuo had actually seen Xie Di's combat strength, and Xie Di didn't make a move many times in the original work. In the end, he became Huo Yuhao's soul ring.
Lin Nuo had almost forgotten the specific details of the battle, but if he remembered correctly, the battle with the Evil Emperor had indeed caused Huo Yuhao a lot of trouble.
Huo Yuhao not only had to stabilize the pure soul power and the nascent third soul core that Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui had poured into his body before their deaths, but he also had to fight against the Evil Emperor, a top expert on the continent, outside.
If it weren't for the divine artifact he was wielding and Tang Wutong, who was a plug-in that he couldn't use, forming a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Huo Yuhao would probably have really fallen to the Evil Emperor that time. His performance was top-tier. Lin Nuo, on the other hand, estimated the current Di Tian's combat strength based on the Evil Emperor's combat strength that he had personally witnessed.
It still has the Dragon God Claw state added.
However, he couldn't tell Qingdi about these evaluation methods, nor could he tell her the truth. Ditian held a very high position in Qingdi's heart; he was basically her adoptive father.
If Lin Nuo had honestly told her her opinion of Di Tian, she might have been even angrier. Lin Nuo only thought about it to herself, since Di Tian really did look like an actor no matter how you looked at him.
Who can blame him when his character setting is so incredibly strong—he's the biological son of both the Light and Dark Dragon Kings, and a former guard of the Dragon God—yet his performance has been utterly terrible, constantly suffering defeats in battles three and four?
Poor Di Tian.
"So what are you going to do next?" Lin Nuo handed a tissue to Qing Di and wiped the stains from the corner of his mouth himself.
Qingdi mimicked Lin Nuo by wiping her mouth with a tissue, then said matter-of-factly, "Now that I'm in the human world, it's so dangerous outside, of course I'm going to follow you! Besides, if I didn't follow you, what would I be doing in the Sun Moon Empire?"
"And there's one more thing—I'll tell you after I go back with you," Qingdi said, pointing to her forehead.
Lin Nuo looked at her with some suspicion, not quite understanding the meaning behind her action.
But Qingdi clearly had no intention of explaining it to the outside world. The mysterious blue-gold power made her feel very insecure, but she also knew that in order to resolve this hidden danger, she would eventually have to ask Lin Nuo for help.
This matter is clearly not suitable to be resolved outside.
And so, Lin Nuo brought the three-eyed golden lion Qingdi, who had the face of the Goddess of Life, back to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. He also enrolled her, making her a special student in the Soul Guidance Control Department of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
They don't learn how to make soul tools, they only learn how to use them.
It's similar to the relationship between Ji Juechen and Ghost Nana.
With Lin Nuo's power, recruiting a student by special recommendation would not be a problem. His current status at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is almost equivalent to that of the vice dean.
