Douluo Continent: Little Huo Niang Taken Away by Di Tian

On a weekend, outside the majestic east gate of the Royal Academy of the Sun and Moon.

Sunlight filters through the clouds, casting dappled shadows, while a gentle breeze carries the heat and energy unique to early summer.

Ning Tian, ​​Xiao Xiao, and Huo Yutong were already waiting there.

"I am coming!"

A clear and melodious shout came from afar.

Everyone turned around and saw Meng Hongchen jogging over.

She wore her hair in a high ponytail today, looking neat and tidy, and a beige sun hat on her head.

She wore a well-tailored white short-sleeved top with a light yellow light jacket, light blue denim shorts, and comfortable sandals.

What's most eye-catching is the canvas bag she's carrying, printed with an adorable green chibi frog, and the crystal-clear bracelet on her wrist—a storage soul tool.

"Sorry to keep you waiting!" Meng Hongchen stopped, panting, a bright smile on her face. "I've arranged the itinerary for today, so just follow me!"

With a flourish, Meng Hongchen declared, "First stop—Sunshine Plaza!"

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Meng Hongchen took the lead, guiding the three of them through the bustling streets of Mingdu.

It must be said that the Sun Moon Empire's consumption level is indeed unparalleled on the continent, especially in Mingdu, the capital city. Everything here exudes luxury and modernity.

However, none of the four girls were short of money.

When they arrived at the square, even though they were mentally prepared, they were still taken aback by the sight before them.

"This is the main plaza..." Xiao Xiao looked up at the colossal building, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. "In Shrek City, restaurants are restaurants, milk tea shops are milk tea shops, and clothing stores and soul tool stores are completely unrelated. But here... they're all integrated together?"

"This is the trend," Meng Hongchen proudly announced. "First floor: clothing and cosmetics; second floor: leisure and entertainment; third floor: food and beverage. Today, I'll show you what one-stop happiness truly means!"

Upon entering the mall, a strong, cool breeze from the central air conditioning hits you, instantly dispelling the heat from your body.

The square was brightly lit and decorated in an extremely luxurious style.

Everywhere you look, you see stylishly dressed men and women, and many couples are holding hands.

Meng Hongchen, familiar with the area, led them straight to the women's clothing section on the first floor.

"Beautiful, elegant, pure, cute... all kinds of styles are available." Meng Hongchen walked around, scanning the shops on both sides, and finally stopped in front of a high-end boutique called "Radiant Splendor". "This is it. The owner of this shop is my friend. He has a sharp eye and is sure to find a gem."

Stepping into the store, Meng Hongchen seemed to transform into a different person, instantly becoming a professional stylist.

First is Huo Yutong.

Meng Hongchen walked to the clothes rack, her fingertips tracing over each gorgeous garment, finally precisely pulling out a light purple long dress.

"Yutong, try this on." Meng Hongchen handed her the dress. "This dress is made of the latest 'star patterned silk.' It looks pale purple during the day, but it has a star-like luster under the lights."

Huo Yutong took the dress and said, "I trust your judgment."

When Huo Yutong changed her clothes and walked out of the fitting room, even the sales assistants in the store exclaimed in surprise.

Meanwhile, in Huo Yutong's spiritual sea, Tianmeng, Bingdi, Xielin, and Yueya also used their spiritual power to conjure clothes from the outside world and changed in front of a mirror constructed with their spiritual power.

As for Electrolux, it's all women's clothing.

Huo Yutong looked at herself in the mirror and smiled at Meng Hongchen: "It fits perfectly, this is the one."

Next up is Xiao Xiao.

Without hesitation, Meng Hongchen picked up a pink dress, but it wasn't a tacky light pink; it was a warm shade known as "coral orange."

Meng Hongchen held up the clothes in front of her, "Look at the bow on this belt and the lace trim on the hem. It will make you look more lively and youthful."

When Xiao Xiao came out after changing her clothes, she looked as if she had a soft-focus filter on her.

Xiao Xiao looked at herself in the mirror, her cheeks slightly flushed. "Thank you, Meng. I like it very much."

Finally, there's Ning Tian.

Meng Hongchen looked Ning Tian up and down, then pulled out a set of clothes from the "neutral style" section next to her.

Meng Hongchen handed her the clothes, "Even though you're a girl, you always act so cool. Since that's the case, why not go all out and be cool!"

It was a well-tailored short black blazer, paired with a white shirt, high-waisted black wide-leg trousers, and a black belt studded with rhinestones.

Ning Tian's eyes lit up instantly when he saw the outfit.

When Ning Tian came out after changing, the originally playful girl instantly transformed into a cool and charismatic girl.

"How is it?" Meng Hongchen, hands on her hips, looked at the three transformed individuals, overflowing with pride. "This is how girls from Mingdu should be!"

……

The enjoyable shopping continued until noon. The girls stored their bags of spoils into their storage soul tools and then took the escalator to the third-floor restaurant.

"This is a newly opened branch, but their main store is a decades-old establishment." Meng Hongchen skillfully pushed the menu to the center of the table. "My grandfather used to take my brother and me here when we were little. Look, I highly recommend this 'Golden Broth Flaming Drunken Shrimp' and..."

The dishes were served quickly. The girls enjoyed the exquisite food and cold drinks while chatting about life at the academy.

"Sigh, to be honest, the academy has way too many academic classes," Xiao Xiao complained, biting her straw. "There's only one physical training class a week."

"And the teacher had to take leave at the last minute," Ning Tian added. "As a result, the head of the security department gave us a whole lecture on the 'College Safety Regulations,' which almost made me fall asleep."

Meng Hongchen covered her mouth and chuckled: "Oh, physical training classes are only for the lower grades. For the upper grades, it's just for show. If any teacher wants to add a class, they'll say that the physical training teacher is busy and ask him to substitute."

You'll only see him during the final exams, and he'll most likely be a physical education teacher for the lower grades doing the job.

"It feels like this is the complete opposite of Shrek Academy," Xiao Xiao sighed. "Brother Bei Bei, Sister Xiao Ya, and Wu Feng are from the Martial Soul system. They only have two days a week for Martial Soul theory and Soul Beast knowledge, and the rest of the time it's all training classes. They're exhausted like dogs."

"We're currently practicing dual cultivation: two days of practical combat, two days of martial soul theory, and two days of soul master courses. The intensity is just right," Ning Tian shrugged.

Huo Yutong said, "I'm working as an assistant in Elder Kong's research lab. The senior students there have already started teaching me how to inscribe the core array of a level six soul tool."

"Speaking of which," Meng Hongchen suddenly thought of an interesting story and laughed so hard she almost fell over, "It's quite a coincidence, isn't He Caitou in Elder Ye's research lab?"

His cigars are very popular at the college. My brother sneaked out to buy one the other day, but before he could even light it, my grandfather caught him red-handed.

"Huh? And then?" the women asked curiously.

"My grandpa thought he had started smoking at such a young age, and before he could explain, my grandpa grabbed his ear and scolded him, and even confiscated his cigars." Meng Hongchen laughed until tears almost came out.
