Although the Mirror Spring of Radiant Light is a treasure for soul beasts, if Di Tian were to drink it, he might actually be able to break through a million years of cultivation!
But Brigitte chose to keep this secret to herself without hesitation.
If Di Tian knew about this, he would most likely end his slumber early, lock up Dongfang Jing, and use the Weiguang Mirror Spring to help the soul beasts in the forest evolve.
Brigitte didn't want her apprentice to be used as a tool. Her apprentice was so sincere to her, how could she let him down?
Therefore, she will not reveal any information to either Di Tian or the auspicious beast!
Just as she was thinking of a suitable reason to send the auspicious beast away, the three-eyed golden lion ran away on its own and slipped to Dongfang Jing's feet.
Brigitte took a gentle sniff and smelled a sweet and sour fragrance.
"This tastes like shredded pork with garlic sauce?"
Two large pots of food, one meat and one vegetable, smelled delicious.
The three-eyed golden lion stared at the delicious-looking and fragrant shredded pork with garlic sauce, its mouth watering. It cried out repeatedly, "Dongfang Jing! I want to eat!"
Dongfang Jing glanced at it and said with a wicked smile, "But my face still hurts, what should I do?"
"Didn't you just say it didn't hurt?!" The three-eyed golden lion stared wide-eyed, feeling like he was being teased.
“But every time I see you, I think of that claw, sigh,” Dongfang Jing said, pretending to wipe away non-existent tears.
Then he shouted, "Lunch is served! Everyone line up!"
As soon as the words were spoken, a flock of emerald swans and guardian spirit beasts lined up neatly, each carrying a bowl or basin in their hands or mouths.
Upon seeing this, the three-eyed golden lion slowly lowered its tail, which had been held high.
Brigitte walked over, squatted down beside it, and whispered, "Auspicious Beast, in the human world, if good friends do something wrong, as long as they sincerely apologize, they can make up."
"Good friend?" After Dongfang Jing's explanation yesterday, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion understood the meaning of this word.
"But what about him and me? Do we count?"
"It's not about whether it counts or not, it's about whether you want to. Do you want to be good friends with Little Mirror?"
"I"
Chapter 115 The Auspicious Beast Apologizes, Dongfang Yao Goes to Tiandou City
After Dongfang Jing finished distributing the food to all the soul beasts, he suddenly felt his trouser leg being gently tugged.
Feeling something, I looked down.
He couldn't help but find the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, usually a proud and auspicious beast, rather awkward and uneasy.
He crouched down, looking it in the eye: "What's wrong?"
"I didn't mean to scratch you, I'm so sorry."
The sound was so faint it was barely audible unless you listened very carefully.
The three-eyed golden lion lowered its head, nervously awaiting a response.
Suddenly, a large bowl of fragrant shredded pork with garlic sauce, green vegetables, and rice was pushed in front of it.
Looking up, she met Dongfang Jing's smiling purple eyes.
"I will accept your apology as long as you finish all the food."
Before it could react, Dongfang Jing gently rubbed its fluffy little head with her finger: "I can tell you more interesting stories tonight."
After saying that, he turned to Biji and called out, "Master, let's have a meal too."
“Okay,” Brigitte replied gently, a satisfied smile unconsciously curving her lips as she looked at the harmonious scene before her.
Behind the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, in a secluded martial arts training ground.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin, dressed in white, stood in the center of the arena.
He is like a sword sheathed.
Even before it was drawn, the invisible pressure had already made the surrounding air feel heavy.
Opposite her, Dongfang Yao held an ordinary wooden sword.
The little girl was dressed in a smart outfit today, and her face no longer had its usual innocent charm, but only a focused seriousness.
“Yao’er,” Chen Xin said, his voice steady yet metallic.
"Today, we will not use our soul power or martial spirit; we will only compete with the sword in our hands and the moves in our minds."
"Yes, Master!" Dongfang Yao nodded vigorously, held her wooden sword horizontally, and assumed the most basic starting stance. Her movements were standard and she stood firmly.
Chen Xin also took the same wooden sword from the shelf, stood casually, and there was not a single flaw to be found in his body.
"Come." He only said one word.
Dongfang Yao moved.
She moved swiftly, thrusting her wooden sword straight out at a tricky angle, aiming directly for Chen Xin's wrist.
But the sword tip was still half a foot away from his wrist when it could no longer advance.
Chen Xin's wooden sword was already waiting there, its blade resting on her spine. A force she couldn't resist pulled her attack off course.
"The intention is there, but the strength isn't keeping up," Chen Xin commented, twisting his wrist so that the wooden sword could strike Dongfang Yao's wrist in return.
Dongfang Yao reacted extremely quickly, sinking her wrist and raising the sword to parry.
But Chen Xin seemed to have anticipated her move. The instant she changed her stance, the tip of his sword lightly touched her wrist, like a dragonfly skimming the water.
He missed his first shot, but ended up getting hit himself.
Dongfang Yao was not discouraged; her eyes shone even brighter.
Using the momentum of her retreat, she took a half-step back, and her swordplay suddenly changed. It went from fast and accurate to unpredictable, with the tip of her sword trembling slightly, concealing many hidden moves.
"Oh?" Chen Xin raised an eyebrow slightly.
This time, instead of waiting in place, he took a step forward.
His movements looked slow, but they were precisely timed to coincide with the moment when Dongfang Yao's sword move was about to be unleashed.
The wooden sword was swung out with no fancy moves, just a simple horizontal slash.
But this simple strike blocked all of Dongfang Yao's possible routes of change, forcing her to take the hit head-on.
"clang!"
The two wooden swords collided with a dull thud.
Dongfang Yao felt a strange force coming from her. It wasn't particularly strong, but it was very resilient. It forced her to back down all her prepared counterattacks, and she involuntarily took a step back.
"Too many feints, and the lower body isn't stable enough." Chen Xin's words were as brief as ever.
"Come again."
Dongfang Yao steadied herself, her small face tense.
She attacked again, her swordsmanship varying in speed and intensity, employing everything she had learned during this period.
Chen Xin remained in place, blocking, guiding, pointing, or deflecting attacks. With slight shifts in his feet, he neutralized all of Dongfang Yao's attacks.
After a long while, Dongfang Yao's breathing became rapid, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Seeing her slightly out of breath, Chen Xin casually put the wooden sword back on the weapon rack.
"That's enough for today. Once your foundation is more solid, I will formally teach you the Seven Kill Sword Technique."
Dongfang Yao calmed her slightly rapid breathing and respectfully cupped her hands in greeting: "Thank you for your guidance, Master."
Chen Xin nodded and said, "Go back and tidy up a bit. We'll meet at the sect's main gate in an hour."
"Huh?" Dongfang Yao blinked. "Master, what are we going to do?"
"Go to Tiandou City."
An hour later, Dongfang Yao quickly washed up, changed into clean and neat clothes, and arrived at the magnificent gate of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School on time.
Outside the gate, apart from the disciples on duty.
Ning Fengzhi, Ning Rongrong, and Sword Douluo Chen Xin were already present.
Two expensive-looking luxury carriages were parked by the roadside.
Dongfang Yao quickly stepped forward, first nodding and bowing to Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, before asking with a hint of curiosity, "What are we going to do?"
Ning Fengzhi smiled and replied gently, "There are some sect affairs that need to be handled in Tiandou City. I'll take you with me so you can also see the capital of the empire."
"Oh," Dongfang Yao nodded.
As soon as she finished speaking, Ning Rongrong excitedly came over, grabbed her hand, and said in a clear voice, "Yao'er, Yao'er, come ride with me! I'll tell you all about the fun things to do in Tiandou City!"
Since learning about Dongfang Yao's amazing talent, Princess Ning Rongrong has not developed any narrow-minded jealousy.
She understood very well that there were only a handful of prodigies like Yao'er on the entire continent.
There's no need for me to try and compare myself to her; she's already better than many people, both in terms of talent and family background.
On the contrary, it's quite interesting to have such a capable friend as Yao'er!
The two boarded the same carriage, which was spacious and comfortable.
After the car started smoothly, Dongfang Yao spoke first and asked, "Rongrong, what are Uncle Ning and the others mainly doing in Tiandou City this time?"
"Oh right, I haven't explained it to you in detail yet."
Ning Rongrong perked up, sat up straight, and explained like a little teacher:
"On our Douluo Continent, there are mainly two great empires: Star Luo and Heaven Dou. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has always supported the Heaven Dou royal family."
She paused, organizing her thoughts: "Think about it, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has become one of the top three sects, with businesses all over the cities and its power growing ever stronger. Of course, this is due to the sect's own strength and foundation, but the convenience and assistance provided by the Heavenly Dou Royal Family behind the scenes are also very important. So, as the sect leader, even if there's nothing particularly important, it's essential for Father to visit Emperor Xue Ye regularly to maintain a good relationship."
"And this time, I heard that His Majesty has something important to announce on a snowy night? So it is imperative that Father go."
"So that's how it is," Dongfang Yao understood. This involved sects and the imperial family.
But then she thought about it again and asked, "Then why did you specifically bring the two of us along? It sounds like we have nothing to do with this."
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong pointed shyly with her two index fingers in front of her and chuckled, "Actually, I mainly wanted to go to Tiandou City to play, so I pestered Daddy and Grandpa Sword to take us all along~"
