Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

"Mo Yan, are you even human?"

The next morning, Wen Yu was squatting by the window, carefully tending to the little flowers she had painstakingly cultivated. Just as her fingertips touched the petals, she was pulled over by Tian Mucheng's power—the meaning couldn't be clearer: she was to come and help Mo Yan with official business.

Mo Yan glanced sideways at Xu Jiujiu, who was also looking bewildered beside Wen Yu, and raised an eyebrow to ask, "Wen Yu, why did you bring another person with you?"

"This is called an assistant, don't you understand?" Wen Yu rolled her eyes, her disdain practically overflowing.

Early in the morning, she was just about to admire the flowers she had painstakingly cultivated when Tianmu suddenly dragged her over to help this lazy dragon revise documents. She really wanted to slap him.

"No!" Mo Yan bristled like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on. She turned sharply to Tian Mucheng, who was watching the scene with his arms crossed, her voice full of grievance and dissatisfaction. "Why does she have an assistant, but I don't?"

"Tianmu Cheng, you can't treat people differently!!!"

Tian Mucheng shrugged, looking completely innocent: "Don't you have oranges?"

"How can that be the same?" Mo Yan's eyes widened as he stared intently at Tian Mucheng, his displeasure barely concealed. "That's clearly your little assistant, the spy you sent to monitor me and make sure I'm doing my job properly, isn't he?!"

Tian Mucheng looked at Mo Yan, whose cheeks were flushed red and clearly "red-hot," and knew it was time to offer her a sweet treat. So he softened his tone and said, "Alright, alright, I'll have A Luo come and help you. Is that satisfactory?"

Mo Yan immediately composed himself, nodded vigorously, and secretly smiled: "That's more like it."

No one knew that her complaints were actually aimed at getting Dugu Luo to be her assistant.

A moment later, Tianmu Chengjiu led Dugu Luo in, gave a few brief instructions, and then turned and left.

Seeing his long-awaited little helper standing in front of him, Mo Yan's eyes lit up. He immediately picked up a stack of documents piled up like a small mountain and slammed them down in front of Dugu Luo with a "thud," saying in a light tone, "Luo, these are all yours!"

Dugu Luo looked at the documents that were almost up to her shoulders, then met Mo Yan's pitiful, pleading eyes, and sighed helplessly.
“Lord Mo Yan, Lord Tian Mu Cheng specifically instructed me that I can only assist you in handling this matter, and cannot directly modify it for you, otherwise I would have to leave immediately.”

Mo Yan froze on the spot, his face full of question marks: "???"

Seriously? That damned Tianmu Cheng actually pulled this stunt?
To prevent her from slacking off, they actually went to this extent?!
She leaned forward, tugged at Dugu Luo's sleeve, and said with a hint of hope, "Luo, is it really not possible? Please help me just this once~"

Dugu Luo shook his head slightly, his tone full of apology: "I am unable to help you, Lord Mo Yan."

"Do not--!!!"

Mo Yan deflated like a punctured balloon, and knelt on the ground with a "thud." Looking at the mountain of documents, his vision went black, and he almost fainted.

All Mo Yan wanted was to muddle through the waters and fish in the water peacefully, so why was it so difficult for her!
Wen Yu crossed her arms and looked speechlessly at Mo Yan, who was sprawled on the ground like a dead dog. She couldn't help but suggest, "Instead of wasting time wailing here, why don't you get to work and finish it sooner to get rid of this burden?" Mo Yan hung his head and muttered weakly, "Before, Ju Zi helped me organize the documents, and I only needed to sign them. Now, I have to do everything myself. It's so miserable."

"Looks like you've really slept yourself silly." Wen Yu stepped forward, gently kicked Mo Yan's butt, and whispered to her, "You can give the documents to Xu Jiujiu, and then I'll pass them on to A Luo. That way, you can bypass Tian Mucheng's rules, right?"

Mo Yan suddenly raised his head, his eyes lighting up instantly. He jumped up, slapping his thigh and cheering, "Wow! Wen Yu, you're so smart! This actually seems to work!"

Wen Yu rolled her eyes: "Nonsense~"

Anyway, Tianmucheng hasn't explicitly banned this kind of "bug exploitation" operation, so why not use it!

Dugu Luo and Xu Jiujiu exchanged a glance, both seeing deep helplessness in each other's eyes—these two masters are truly hopeless.

Outside the office, Long Yaoqing silently followed behind Tian Mucheng, his tone tinged with helplessness: "One of these two is obsessed with slacking off, and the other is obsessed with growing flowers. If the Federation is really handed over to them, it will be ruined sooner or later."

With a smile in his eyes, Tian Mucheng said casually, "I didn't see it, so nothing will happen. Besides, it's peacetime now. As long as the Federation is stable, that's all that matters. Moreover, I'm here to back you up."

He naturally noticed the little tricks the two were playing in the office, but he didn't intend to stop them—as long as he "couldn't see it," it was a compliant operation.

Long Yaoqing sighed and rubbed his forehead: "You're just going to spoil them like this, like you're raising two daughters."

Tian Mucheng smiled gently, his tone softening: "They've been with me and done so much for me. It's not a bad thing to let them relax now."

He yawned, then changed the subject, asking curiously, "By the way, what's the situation with Di Tian right now?"

Since the God Realm lifted the restrictions on soul beasts, Di Tian completely broke through the shackles and ascended to godhood.

Long Yaoqing spoke slowly, his tone calm: "That little black dragon also wants to go out and explore, and plans to follow in Jin Tianming's footsteps to see other planes."

Tian Mucheng nodded slightly: "Let him be."

"Aren't you worried at all that something might happen to them?" Long Yaoqing looked at him with some surprise.

Upon hearing this, Tian Mucheng paused, a menacing smile curving his lips. He slowly turned around, his gaze falling on Long Yaoqing's eyes, and said, word by word, "As long as I'm here, I'll cover for them."

I want to see which fools out there in this universe dare to mess with my people.
