Douluo Dalu: Beginning with Signing in with Yan Lingji

Chapter 148: The Promise

Zhao Ming smiled.

Although the power of destiny from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion might not seem like much of an immediate benefit, the ethereal nature of luck would greatly aid his future cultivation.

Of course, these things weren't what he truly valued.

With the system at his disposal, he could obtain whatever he wanted by completing tasks. The system was his ultimate cheat; nothing else mattered.

To him, the biggest gain this time was the Three-Eyed Golden Lion herself.

As the saying goes, when soul beasts reincarnate as humans, they become peerless beauties.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, as the emperor among soul beasts, would surely be incredibly beautiful if she were to reincarnate.

Now, he had already adjusted the memories he shared with her through the system. If everything went as planned, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion would undoubtedly follow the trajectory he had set, becoming the beautiful Wang Qiu'er.

Qiu'er—she had a pair of perfect, long legs.

Those smooth and shapely legs would undoubtedly be stunning.

Moreover, it seemed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had other methods for reincarnation. After all, in the original story, when she reincarnated, she instantly became a girl around seventeen or eighteen years old. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was different from ordinary soul beasts; she wasn't born from an egg or a womb—she was born naturally, from destiny itself, and undoubtedly possessed her own unique methods.

In Douluo Dalu I, the most beautiful were the grown-up Xiao Wu and the god-transformed Qian Renxue.

In Douluo Dalu II, the most beautiful was Wang Qiu'er, who was actually the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

In Douluo Dalu III, it was Gu Yuena.

In Douluo Dalu IV, it was Dong Qianqiu.

Out of these five unparalleled beauties, he already had three. As for Qian Renxue, perhaps she too would fall into his embrace in the future.

As for Dong Qianqiu, currently a 100,000-year soul beast, the Demon Whale Great White Shark, she was probably around seventy thousand years old and still had thirty thousand years to go before she could transform into a human. But he could intercept this early and start building favor.

He might be too lazy to pursue other women, but he wouldn't miss out on these stunning beauties. On the Douluo Continent, his desires were nothing more than threefold: power, strength, and beauty.

Of course, a gentleman pursues beauty with integrity. If they truly didn't like him, he wouldn't force them.

"Brother Zhao Ming, why are you smiling?" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked at Zhao Ming curiously and asked softly.

"I'm just happy. You've helped me so much this time. I feel much more confident now about absorbing my soul bone in the future," Zhao Ming said with a smile.

"Really? That's great!" She blinked her beautiful eyes, clearly delighted.

"Of course, it's true."

Zhao Ming's words warmed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's heart, and stars seemed to sparkle in her eyes as she looked at him.

Afterward, Zhao Ming stayed in the Star Dou Forest for a few more days.

Although he missed Zhuqing and the others, he couldn't just leave immediately after winning someone over.

Even though he hadn't formally established a relationship with either the Three-Eyed Golden Lion or Gu Yuena, he still had responsibilities to uphold.

Zhao Ming considered himself a considerate person; he couldn't bring himself to act so heartlessly.

Having just absorbed the Darkgolden Terrorclaw's right palm bone, Zhao Ming spent these days slowly stabilizing his cultivation and didn't yet absorb the other two soul bones.

Zhao Ming planned to wait until his cultivation stabilized before absorbing the 100,000-year-old Black Dragon's right arm bone. As for the 5-million-year-old torso bone, he would use it once he reached the Soul Ancestor level.

The 5-million-year soul bone would certainly boost his cultivation significantly. Once he reached the Soul Ancestor level, it might allow him to leap straight into the mid or late stages of the level.

…

In the vast, empty Silver Dragon Castle, Gu Yuena quietly gazed into the distance, savoring the tranquility.

Zhao Ming rested his head on her smooth, slender legs, relishing the sensation of Gu Yuena's beautiful legs.

"Our Na'er is truly beautiful." Zhao Ming smiled as he took in the fragrance emanating from her. As one of the unparalleled beauties of the Douluo Continent, Gu Yuena naturally had a pair of stunning long legs.

Her legs were smooth and slender, no less impressive than any he had ever seen.

"If I wasn't beautiful, you wouldn't like me," Gu Yuena smiled, confident in her appearance.

"How could that be? Am I the type to judge people by their looks? I love you for your soul, not just your body." Zhao Ming laughed awkwardly.

Gu Yuena rolled her eyes at Zhao Ming, her beautiful gaze expressing mild annoyance.

"Na'er, you're so beautiful, and your legs are so long. You'd definitely look great in a short skirt," Zhao Ming grinned, shifting his head to a new position on her lap.

"So, am I not beautiful now?" A blush appeared on Gu Yuena's cheeks as she listened to Zhao Ming.

"Of course not. To me, you're beautiful no matter what." Zhao Ming stood up, taking Gu Yuena's small hand and speaking gently.

Though he really wanted to see her in a short skirt, he also loved this elegant and composed version of Gu Yuena.

Such a beautiful treasure—Na'er—looked good in anything.

"Hmm." Hearing Zhao Ming's sweet words, warmth filled Gu Yuena's heart.

"Na'er, I've been in Star Dou for almost half a month now." Zhao Ming looked at Gu Yuena's beautiful face and sighed. He had been there long enough and knew it was time to return.

Although he spent every day with Gu Yuena, he wasn't truly happy because when he thought about his beloved Zhuqing and the others, who were probably sad right now, he couldn't feel content.

"Are you leaving?" Gu Yuena's beautiful eyes looked at Zhao Ming with a hint of sadness.

"I've been in the Star Dou Forest long enough; it's time I return to the human world," Zhao Ming said gently, holding Gu Yuena in his arms.

"Yes, you should go." Gu Yuena rested her head on Zhao Ming's chest and whispered. She understood the bigger picture; she would never hold Zhao Ming back just because of sentimental attachment.

"Don't worry, I will grow stronger soon and break all the chains holding you down. Ten years will be enough." Zhao Ming promised sincerely, gazing at the jade-like beauty in his arms.

In his view, ten years would be enough for him to become an unparalleled powerhouse.

As long as he could attain a god's position, with his ten puppets and his own strength, even the God Realm would tremble before him.

At that time, no one would be able to stop him, and he could do whatever he wanted.

Then, this beautiful Gu Yuena would truly become his woman.

"I'll wait for you." Her gentle eyes gazed at Zhao Ming, her heart filled with happiness.

She knew he wasn't lying. Ten years would be enough for him to become a figure who could stir the tides on the Douluo Continent. Given time, the entire God Realm would tremble before him.

For soul beasts like them, ten years—or even a hundred or a thousand years—was brief.

She was willing to wait.
