Chapter 366 Three Questions of Fate
"What clue is it?" Brigitte asked quickly.
Ye Nanxiao pushed up his glasses, pulled out a bow from somewhere, and frantically pulled it apart with both hands. He put it to his mouth and said, "Di Tian, the soul beast with the highest cultivation age on the continent, according to incomplete statistics, has a cultivation age of 890,000 years. It is only 110,000 years away from the legendary million-year soul beast becoming a god."
Biji frowned slightly. What she wanted to know was clues about the scoundrels who might be secretly plotting against her, not detailed information about Di Tian. Besides, she had no interest in Di Tian.
Seeing Bi Ji's expression, Ye Nanxiao gestured for her to continue listening.
"With his formidable strength and being a dragon, Di Tian easily subdued the Crimson King, the Myriad Demon King, and other ferocious beasts. Only Xiong Jun, that warlike madman, was unconvinced and was severely punished by Di Tian before he finally submitted to Di Tian's command."
"Even ferocious beasts submit to Emperor Tian and carry out his orders without reservation. So think about it, a silver-horned beetle that dares to look Emperor Tian in the eye, a subject who dares to secretly spy on the monarch, isn't that suspicious?" Ye Nanxiao said.
Brigitte's eyes widened slightly; she hadn't expected Ye Nanxiao to have noticed this.
Thinking about it carefully, Biji felt that Ye Nanxiao's words made a lot of sense. Usually, when they stood in front of Di Tian, they would lower their heads to show their submission. Even Xiong Jun, who had the most fiery temper, did not dare to look directly at Di Tian. Why would a silver-horned beetle dare to look directly at Di Tian?
"In that case, this silver-horned beetle is extremely suspicious. In the Star Dou Great Forest, no soul beast dares to disobey Di Tian! However, I remember that the highest cultivation level of a mere silver-horned beetle is only about 80,000 years." The more Bi Ji thought about it, the more something seemed wrong.
They haven't even crossed the threshold of 100,000 years. Let alone looking directly at Di Tian, they would be overwhelmed by Di Tian's dragon might even if they just glanced at him. Moreover, Di Tian never hides his arrogance. Wherever he goes, the overflowing dragon might makes all the soul beasts bow their heads in submission.
"We'll catch it now!" A cold glint flashed in Brigitte's eyes. Even the usually gentle Brigitte was tempted to kill.
No one who is secretly targeted will be let off easily.
"Aren't you in a hurry? Aren't you curious why a silver-horned beetle dares to look directly at Di Tian? There must be someone behind it directing things in the dark! It's possible that the person has a very high level of cultivation or special methods, which is why the silver-horned beetle can ignore the dragon's might emanating from Di Tian." Ye Nanxiao put away his glasses and bow tie.
"Is there someone else hiding in the shadows?" Brigitte frowned, sensing an impending storm.
"What can you do? I have no way to contact my companions right now. They've either been assigned a mission by Di Tian or they're not qualified to enter the inner circle." Bi Ji quickly regained her composure. As a soul beast that has lived for 580,000 years, she has experienced many things. For Bi Ji, as long as the Great Tribulation doesn't suddenly descend, everything else can be dealt with slowly.
Especially since Brigitte is a spirit beast known for her healing and vitality, she can recover as long as she is not killed in one blow.
Faced with Bi Ji, Di Tian could only use the excuse of "protecting the auspicious beast" and "serving as the auspicious beast's bodyguard" to temporarily confine Bi Ji to this pond.
Even if things fall apart, Di Tian won't do anything to Bi Ji. He knows very well how important the Emerald Swan, ranked fourth among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, is to the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Don't rush. Staying calm will help you make a better judgment. I'm here now, and I'm confident that I can find the person hiding behind the scenes. It's just a matter of time," Ye Nanxiao said confidently.
Seeing Ye Nanxiao's unusually confident expression, Biji's tense mood eased.
"It turns out that watching funny things when I'm unhappy makes me feel better," Brigitte said with a faint smile.
Pleasant things? Isn't this woman looking at me?
Ye Nanxiao twitched his lips, putting on a speechless expression.
"Is this how you treat your strategist? I'm being very serious, you know!" Ye Nanxiao said irritably.
Suddenly, Bi Ji stood up and sat down next to Ye Nanxiao, a gentle smile on her face.
"What are you doing?" Ye Nanxiao was startled. The faint fragrance emanating from Bi Ji filled his senses.
A soft little hand moved around on her head, stirring her smooth hair, and her slender white fingers playfully fiddled with the strands.
"I didn't expect the little fox to be so clever! Let me praise you!" Biji gently rubbed Ye Nanxiao's head and smiled tenderly.
"Would you like some encouragement from your older sister?" Brigitte gently pulled Ye Nanxiao's head closer with her small hand.
"No, no, I've long heard of your magnanimity, sister! We're good friends, it's just a small favor, nothing to brag about!" Ye Nanxiao lowered his head, dodging the dumpling that was about to hit his face, and moved his buttocks with all his might.
"Huh?" The three-eyed golden lion groggily raised its head, blinking its big eyes as if asking why it was being disturbed while sleeping.
"It's okay, baby, Sister Brigitte is here. Don't be afraid of nightmares. Go back to sleep!" Ye Nanxiao rubbed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's head and pressed it against Brigitte's firm thighs.
"What are you doing, fox!" The three-eyed golden lion yawned, got up, and reluctantly bit Ye Nanxiao's tail.
For the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the cool, soft fox tail pillow is her favorite.
"It seems the auspicious beast prefers your tail. I didn't expect to lose to the little fox." Brigitte patted her firm, elastic thigh. "You must be tired from being the auspicious beast's pillow. Why don't you take a rest?"
For some reason, Brigitte's gentle words drew Ye Nanxiao's attention.
A few strands of hair draped over her jade-like thighs, drawing attention.
"Xiao'er!"
The Snow Empress's discontented voice echoed in Ye Nanxiao's mental sea.
Xue Di gritted her teeth, hugged the fox doll in her arms tightly, and glared at Bi Ji in the shared visual image.
Snow began to fall heavily in Ye Nanxiao's spiritual sea.
The octagonal, a cultivation fanatic who had been practicing for millennia, glanced at the falling snowflakes with a puzzled look, then at the Snow Emperor who was beating the fox doll. He silently drew a light shield to envelop himself and continued his cultivation.
His mind was only on cultivation, and he didn't care about anything that didn't affect Ye Nanxiao.
"Cough cough! I'm not tired!" Ye Nanxiao turned his head forcefully and sat down in the wooden chair that Bi Ji had originally been sitting in.
How could you forget that there's a little jealousy jar residing in your own spiritual sea?
However, since the Snow Empress doesn't have a physical form yet, she probably can't deal with me even if she wanted to, right?
Ye Nanxiao's thoughts were teetering on the edge of self-destruction, and he had absolutely no clear understanding of his own position.
"Why did the little fox leave!" The three-eyed golden lion pouted, indicating that it still needed a cool, comfortable pillow.
"Auspicious Beast, I have a few questions I'd like to ask you. I wonder if you could answer them for me?" Ye Nanxiao put aside his suicidal thoughts; he hadn't forgotten his important business.
The text description at the start of the mission, about the answers you are looking for.
At first, Ye Nanxiao was so busy finding out what was wrong with Brigitte that he had to suppress his doubts.
Now that a major clue has been found, Ye Nanxiao's doubts have resurfaced.
"What's the problem?" the three-eyed golden lion asked, tilting its head slightly.
Seeing Ye Nanxiao's expression gradually become serious, Biji also put away her playful thoughts.
"Can you answer the question about fate?" Ye Nanxiao had a silencing bead curled around one of his nine tails, and the pattern of a frozen flower shimmered slightly beneath his bangs.
"destiny?"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion and Bi Ji exchanged a glance.
"Little fox, do you want to know your own fate?" Brigitte asked.
As the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's cultivation increased over time, Di Tian asked about its own destiny, voicing a question that all ferocious beasts cared about deeply.
The tribulations of ferocious beasts are terrifying, involving destruction and rebirth. What is the probability between the two? Can one conceal the tribulation?
These were all questions that Di Tian and other soul beasts cared about, but the Three-Eyed Golden Lion rarely gave a reply because she was indifferent to the Heavenly Tribulation of the Year.
As a favorite of fate, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was spared the test of the Heavenly Tribulation of a certain number of years, and it had not even experienced a normal lightning tribulation.
"No." Ye Nanxiao shook his head.
"Auspicious Beast, can you manipulate fate?" Ye Nanxiao asked.
"Yes, I can see the fate of soul beasts and control the gathering and dispersing of their fortunes," said the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. This was also the method she most often used to guide some soul beasts through their tribulations.
Controlling the luck of soul beasts is not a secret within the core circle; even Shrek Academy knows about it.
"Besides soul beasts?" A fierce glint flashed deep in Ye Nanxiao's eyes.
The phrase "fate cannot be defied" still echoed in Ye Nanxiao's ears.
Is fate truly unchangeable? Are all the opportunities and hardships on the road to growth like the eighty-one tribulations of the Tang Dynasty monk Xuanzang, arranged one after another?
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion hesitated slightly before saying, "I haven't tried it. I can only see a part of the fortune on your body. I don't know what the consequences would be if I manipulated the fortune that I can't see in its entirety."
"The best test subject is right in front of you, why don't you give it a try?" Ye Nanxiao said, spreading his hands.
Upon hearing Ye Nanxiao's words, the third eye on the forehead of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion gradually lit up with golden light. When she was not a mascot, she was quite intelligent, and she always wanted to take a further step in mastering her own power of destiny.
However, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion is not allowed by Emperor Tian to step outside the middle layer of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Ye Nanxiao's request presented an excellent opportunity.
"Are you sure, little fox?" Brigitte asked.
Ye Nanxiao smiled, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes. He needed an answer, even if it came at a price.
The three-eyed golden lion gave Ye Nanxiao a deep look, then raised its right paw and gently tapped the floor of the wooden house, causing a layer of golden ripples to spread out.
The cabin was suddenly shrouded in the power of fate, enveloped in a layer of mist.
However, neither Di Tian nor the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord sensed this layer of mist.
"Are you ready?" the Three-Eyed Golden Lion asked.
Ye Nanxiao nodded.
"I will miss you." The three eyes of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion lit up with golden light, and a bolt of lightning shot out from the third eye on its forehead, landing on Ye Nanxiao.
A mysterious feeling instantly enveloped Ye Nanxiao's entire body, and a faint, wispy vortex of energy floated in front of him.
"I have drawn your destiny; speak the question you wish to ask," came the voice of the three-eyed golden lion.
Ye Nanxiao nodded and took a deep breath.
I have three questions!
Is fate truly impartial?
"Is fate predetermined and there's nothing we can do about it?"
"Is there anyone capable of altering fate?"
Ye Nanxiao asked three questions, each one like a boulder plunging into the water, stirring up a storm in the heart of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
As the three questions were posed, the power of destiny seemed to boil over.
In a crystal cave at the bottom of the Lake of Life, a pair of enormous silver vertical pupils suddenly opened.
