Chapter 220 The Dispute Over the Right to Name the Auspicious Beast
A reading feast: a vast collection of books and an unparalleled reading experience.
Still reeling from Gu Yuena's divine identity, Huo Yuhao had already left the Lake of Life with Di Tian and stood once again on the grassy shore.
Di Tian glanced at the darkening sky, then looked at Huo Yuhao and asked, "Do you choose to leave now, or tomorrow?"
Huo Yuhao came to his senses and was now certain that he would not be in danger here.
Given this, the chances of safely mingling in the core circle of the Star Dou are slim.
So Huo Yuhao immediately replied, "Then let's leave tomorrow."
Di Tian nodded: "Then I'll have the Crimson King escort you away tomorrow."
After saying that, Di Tian ignored Huo Yuhao.
He sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed, his breathing becoming long and slow, it was unclear whether he was cultivating or doing something else.
Huo Yuhao glanced around. Dusk was falling, and the light in the forest was gradually dimming, but it did not affect his vision.
With a wave of his right hand, a set of tables and chairs appeared beside him.
He secured the table and chairs, and then took out various foods from the spatial soul tool again.
After working so hard for a while, he was indeed a little hungry.
Now I can finally sit down and have a quiet meal.
Huo Yuhao ate his dinner slowly and deliberately, as if he were not in the dangerous core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, but in his own home.
On the other hand, the auspicious beast couldn't help but look in his direction.
It lay on the ground, its golden eyes fixed on the food in Huo Yuhao's hand, its nose twitching slightly as it smelled the aroma wafting towards it.
It remembered Di Tian's instructions to avoid contact with this human.
But at that moment, the auspicious beast couldn't help but whisper, "It smells so good."
For a long time, the auspicious beast believed that the brains of light-attribute soul beasts were the most delicious thing on the continent.
Its smooth texture and the light element energy it contains are its favorites.
It thought there was nothing in the world that tasted better than that.
But today it discovered that there really are even tastier things.
The fragrance alone was enough to make it almost unable to resist.
The mythical beast swallowed hard, its golden eyes filled with longing.
It moved slowly and stealthily toward Huo Yuhao, as if it were a thief.
As it walked, it observed Di Tian's reaction.
Seeing that the other party did not stop it, the auspicious beast gradually became bolder.
It quickened its pace and soon moved to Huo Yuhao's side.
The golden retriever with its big head came closer, its nose twitching as it smelled the aroma of the food on the table.
A clear, melodious voice rang out, tinged with curiosity: "What are you eating?"
Although he was certain that Di Tian wouldn't attack him, Huo Yuhao wasn't about to be reckless and eat those highly nutritious foods made from soul beast meat.
He didn't want to provoke these soul beasts or cause any trouble in the core area of the Star Dou.
Therefore, what he took out were all vegetarian dishes and ordinary meats, with virtually no ingredients from spirit beasts.
Huo Yuhao pointed at the table as he spoke, "This is Lingxi Milk Cake, this is Eight Treasures Stew, this is Jadeite Spirit Vegetable Roll, this is Honey-Glazed Pork Ribs..."
Each time a name was mentioned, the auspicious beast would come close and sniff it deeply, as if trying to inhale all the fragrance into its nostrils.
After Huo Yuhao finished his introduction, a hint of hesitation flashed in the auspicious beast's golden eyes.
But finally, with a touch of shyness, it couldn't help but ask, "May I try some?"
Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "Try whichever one you want!"
In the original history, the auspicious beast sacrificed its life for him. What are these foods now? They're just a few dishes. He has plenty in his soul tool.
Upon hearing this, the auspicious beast's eyes lit up instantly.
With a gulp, a dish flew off the plate, arcing gracefully through the air before landing precisely in its mouth.
"Smack smack..."
The mythical beast chewed rapidly, its golden eyes filled with ecstasy.
Its eyes narrowed into two crescent moons, and its face was full of satisfaction.
"Mmm! This is so delicious!"
Its voice was full of surprise, as if it had discovered a new continent.
"This is delicious too!"
It took another sip, and another dish flew into its mouth. It chewed, its tail wagging.
"And this too!"
"This one is good too!"
……
In the blink of an eye, all eight dishes on the table in front of Huo Yuhao had been eaten by the mythical beast.
After swallowing the last dish, a look of happiness appeared in the auspicious beast's eyes. It had never imagined that there could be such delicious food.
But then, looking at the eight empty plates on the table, a hint of embarrassment flashed in its golden eyes.
Its ears drooped slightly, and its tail hung down.
The human food was so delicious that it forgot itself and ate all of Huo Yuhao's dinner.
Huo Yuhao smiled nonchalantly. He then took out a lot of food from his spatial soul tool and placed it on the table one by one. Before long, the table was full again.
He looked at the auspicious beast and asked, "Want to eat more?"
The mythical beast swallowed hard, its golden eyes filled with longing.
It was about to nod when a voice came, which made it tremble all over.
"Mythical beast, have you forgotten what I said before?!"
It was Di Tian's voice; he had opened his eyes at some point.
Those golden vertical pupils were looking at the auspicious beast, their eyes filled with a mixture of sternness and helplessness.
The mythical beast stiffened abruptly, took a step back, and distanced itself from Huo Yuhao.
But as children grow up, they will inevitably have rebellious moments.
At that moment, the auspicious beast suddenly raised its head and looked at Di Tian, saying, "Di Tian, you all have names, I want a name too! I don't want to be called the auspicious beast!"
After Huo Yuhao asked it what its name was, it decided that it wanted to have a name like Di Tian and the others.
It shouldn't be called an "auspicious beast," that's its identity, not its name.
It wants a name of its own, a unique name.
Now that he's brought up this idea, it's a perfect opportunity to change the subject. The auspicious beast secretly gave itself a thumbs up for its cleverness.
It slightly raised its chin, a sly glint in its golden eyes.
Upon hearing this, Di Tian frowned.
It's nothing serious, just a name.
He asked, "What do you want to be called?"
"Um?"
The auspicious beast tilted its head and began to think.
Huo Yuhao, standing beside him, blurted out, "How about calling her Wang Qiu'er?"
This is the name of the auspicious beast after it took human form in the original historical trajectory.
Moreover, according to historical records, the auspicious beast after its transformation looked exactly like Wang Dong'er.
He didn't know what the reason was. Could it be that the auspicious beast and Wang Dong'er had some kind of connection?
This question had always been on his mind.
Upon hearing the name, the auspicious beast immediately shook its head: "It doesn't sound good!"
Its sound was crisp, with a hint of disdain.
Di Tian glanced at Huo Yuhao, a hint of displeasure flashing in his golden vertical pupils.
The name of the auspicious beast should naturally be given by him. What right does a human have to name an auspicious beast?
According to human custom, daughters' names are usually chosen by their fathers.
In Di Tian's heart, the auspicious beast was his daughter, a child he had raised himself.
Di Tian stood up and flashed to the side of the auspicious beast.
A hint of gentleness flashed in his golden, vertical pupils. He thought for a moment and said, "How about we name him Di Rui?"
The "Di" in "Ditian" means "the emperor of heaven," and the "Rui" in "auspicious beast."
Upon hearing those two words, the auspicious beast pondered for a moment, then shook its head: "No!"
It didn't want its name to be associated with emperors and auspicious beasts anymore; it wanted a name that had nothing to do with its identity, a name that belonged only to itself.
"I'll choose my own name!"
As it spoke, the auspicious beast slowly walked to the edge of the Lake of Life.
Although it had already gotten dark, the lake remained as calm as a mirror, reflecting the shadows of the trees on the shore.
It lowered its head and saw its reflection in the lake.
Time passed second by second, the sky grew darker and darker, and the starlight grew brighter and brighter.
Finally, its eyes gradually brightened.
The auspicious beast then turned around and looked at Di Tian and Huo Yuhao.
It took a deep breath, its clear voice trembling with excitement: "I've decided, I'll be called..."
