Douluo Continent: Little Huo Niang Taken Away by Di Tian

The contract was signed, but the echoes of the agreement still lingered in the hall.

With a slight movement, Biji and Ziji gracefully landed on the branches of the golden tree.

Little Diqiu, unable to contain herself any longer, jumped down from Ditian's shoulder and began her "mountain climbing" exercise with her short legs.

Her furry little paws gripped the rough bark tightly, leaving shallow scratch marks.

At the same time, a crisp sound came from above the tree canopy.

Brigitte skillfully plucked the golden leaves one by one, while Murasaki ruthlessly and neatly cut off the bare branches.

Little Diqiu, like a golden caterpillar, continued to climb upwards, wriggling along the tree trunk.

Witnessing the somewhat "tragic" scene of leaf picking, Mu En felt a pang of heartache, but he quickly turned his gaze to the side—with just a turn of his head, he could see Huo Yutong, her face flushed, chatting happily with Di Tian.

"Uncle~"

When that sweet, gentle call reached his ears, Moon almost thought he was hallucinating.

He had already come to terms with it. If he survived, one of his biggest wishes would be to attend the weddings of his juniors, such as Yu Tong, Bei Bei, and Le Xuan.

Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er, standing nearby, clearly didn't share the same mindset.

Moon nodded helplessly, his eyes filled with certainty: "That's right, you guessed correctly."

This explosive scene caused Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er's brains to freeze instantly, their bodies stiffening and unable to move.

"Old Dragon, Sister Brigitte said that taking these is enough for now," came Zi Ji's voice from the tree.

As soon as she finished speaking, she lightly jumped down from the tree branch and landed steadily in Di Tian's arms.

On the other side, Brigitte flew down from the tree and casually "picked" Little Emperor Qiu, who was halfway up and still chewing on leaves.

Xiao Diqiu's inner monologue: These leaves are crunchy and taste pretty good!

Di Tian put Zi Ji down from his arms and said in a deep voice, "We will be stationed at the Spirit Pagoda headquarters for the next few days."

"My lord, our last meeting was brief, but this time you must stay. I will personally go..." Xuanzi was running laps outside the city when he suddenly realized that Mu En, who was in charge of "supervising" him, had disappeared.

He circled around the city several times but didn't even see a trace of Yan Shaozhe and the others. He immediately made a decision—to have morning tea at that familiar restaurant in the city.

After a whirlwind of activity, he burped contentedly and leisurely strolled back to the Sea God Pavilion.

However, before the word "cook" could be uttered, it was tightly covered by an old but strong hand.

Mu En used extreme force, strangling Xuanzi until he saw stars, and even suspected that he was trying to smother him to death on the spot.

"Elder Xuan! We have urgent business!" Huo Yutong said quickly upon seeing this, and grabbed Di Tian's sleeve tightly.

"That's right! The Spirit Pagoda still has important matters to attend to!" Bi Ji and Zi Ji said in unison.

Mu En only let go of Di Tian and his group after their figures disappeared outside the Sea God Pavilion.

"Do you know who that was just now?" Mu En grabbed Xuanzi by the collar, his face so dark it could drip water.

"Do I...should I know who he is?" Xuanzi looked bewildered, completely confused by the question.

"Beast, God, Emperor, Heaven!" Mu En engraved each word with iron precision, emphasizing each syllable.

"Huo Biling is the Emerald Swan Brigitte, and Huo Ziyan is the Hell Demon Dragon King Ziji!" Mu En added immediately, his beard trembling with anger.

"Now you understand why I beat you up back then!"

Mu En released his grip, and Xuan Zi fell to the ground with a "plop".

"I..." Xuanzi opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"Think about it yourself." Mu En patted Xuanzi's shoulder, but the force was not light, making Xuanzi's bones ache.

Xuanzi became increasingly alarmed as he thought about it, and cold sweat instantly soaked through his inner lining.

His mentality completely collapsed.

Xuanzi, like a walking corpse, floated straight to the inner courtyard canteen and plunged into the kitchen.

"Elder Mu! I'm so sorry! I'll stuff myself to death to atone for my sins!!"

The chefs in the kitchen stared in disbelief as Xuanzi swept through like a locust swarm, devouring all the finished pastries. Then, she even ate raw rice and meat whole.

In an instant, the kitchen was in complete chaos.

As a result, the inner court disciples all ran out of food that day and had no choice but to slink away to the outer court to mooch a meal.

When Mu En heard that Xuan Zi was "reflecting" in this way, his blood pressure soared. That night, he grabbed his cane and chased after Xuan Zi until the sun rose over Shrek Academy.

The kitchen at the Spirit Pagoda headquarters is experiencing its darkest day since the pagoda was built.

The chefs were devastated; they had never imagined that one day the name "Xuanzi" would become a unit of measurement.

Because of the special location of the Spirit Pagoda, which is right at the border of Shrek City and the Star Dou Great Forest, most of the core staff in the kitchen were recruited from various restaurants in Shrek City.

They had heard of Xuanzi's name like thunder – after all, in Shrek City's catering industry, Xuanzi's fearsome reputation was built on countless empty plates.

Nothing more than being able to eat you.

At this moment, this fear has been brought to its extreme.

In the magnificent dining hall of the Spirit Pagoda, Di Tian, ​​Xiong Jun, and Chi Wang, three top-tier ferocious beasts who had transformed into human form, were engrossed in their meal with an almost demolition-like intensity.

Every few days, Xiong Jun would come to the Spirit Transmission Tower to "inspect" his beloved disciple, ostensibly to visit him, but in reality, he would "casually" come to the cafeteria to freeload a meal.

The Red King made a rare appearance this time only because Little Emperor Qiu was also staying at the headquarters.

It's worth mentioning that this time, the Red King's human form only manifested as a head, and he was accompanied by the king of the Dream Eater clan—Little Baku.

When a spirit-type soul beast cultivates for 100,000 years, it can condense a human form with its spiritual power. The little tapir transformed into a black-haired girl of about fourteen and a half years old, with a slightly reserved expression.

Not far away, Brigitte was holding a handkerchief and patiently wiping the corners of Little Diqiu's mouth, whose little belly was round from eating.

Despite the mess on the table, for the top-tier ferocious beasts like Di Tian, ​​Xiong Jun, and Chi Wang, the meal they had just eaten was barely enough to fill their stomachs. If Di Tian hadn't stopped them in time, the chefs in the kitchen would probably have been exhausted to death on the spot.

Sure enough, that very evening a large number of chefs submitted sick leave certificates, all of them with arms so sore they could barely lift them.

However, for these chefs, the consolation was that their wages would double at the end of the month.

After a hearty meal, the Crimson King was the first to rise and take his leave, as he still needed to escort an Evil Eye Tyrant to Sunset Forest; shortly after, the Bear King also stood up and said, "Boss, I'm going back to mining."

"My lord, I am ready," the little tapir said respectfully.

Huo Yutong smiled and said, "The teacher said the ceremony can take place tomorrow."

"Dad, can Yutong and I stay here a few more days this time? We left too fast last time," Xiao Diqiu said.

Di Tian patted her little head: "Of course you can. Just relax and play here for the next few days."
