Douluo Continent: Little Huo Niang Taken Away by Di Tian

"Uncle, then I'll take Qiu'er to play." Huo Yutong bent down and picked up little Di Qiu. His arms suddenly felt heavy; the little guy was indeed "solid".

"Go ahead," Di Tian nodded with a smile.

Huo Yutong carried the little one as they walked through the Spirit Pagoda's main hall, instantly attracting countless eyes.

A group of female members swarmed around, their eyes sparkling: "Oh my god, this little dumpling is so cute!"

Xiao Diqiu's ears twitched upon hearing this, and he proudly perked up.

No problem, give me a few more compliments! I love hearing that!

She subconsciously raised her head, her lips curving upwards involuntarily, with an expression that said, "I'll reluctantly accept your worship."

As the crowd grew larger and larger, Huo Yutong had no choice but to place the heavy "gold nugget" on the jade round table in the lobby.

"Can I touch you?" A bold girl cautiously extended her hand in front of it.

Little Diqiu readily agreed, raising her chubby little paw and giving her a high five.

"Ahhh! My health bar is empty! That's amazing!"

This seemed to flip a switch, and the girls spontaneously lined up in long queues just to give this adorable little creature a high-five.

At first, Xiao Diqiu was in high spirits, exuding an elegance of "flipping the card". Later, the action of clapping became numb, but when she caught a glimpse of the girls' excited faces, she still forced herself to raise her hand to maintain the dignity of a "top star".

"Quick, quick! I heard there's an absolutely adorable little cutie here!" Tang Ya's voice came from afar.

Huo Yutong looked up and saw Tang Ya holding Jiang Nannan's hand in one hand and Xiao Xiao's hand in the other, followed by Ning Tian, ​​Wu Feng and a group of Shrek girls who had just finished class.

Xiao Diqiu looked up at the sound and saw the huge crowd. Her smug little mouth instantly pouted, the curve of which could practically hold an oil bottle.

"Oh, it's that cutie from last time! So, that senior is here too?" Tang Ya exclaimed in surprise.

"Ahem, everyone," Huo Yutong said, defusing the situation at the right moment, "the little auspicious beast will be staying here for a few more days. If you all want to play with her, why don't you come back tomorrow?"

"Little auspicious beast? That name is so fitting!" Xiao Xiao said with a smile.

Immediately afterwards, the girls switched to "praise mode" again, with phrases like "so cute" and "I want to take a bite" ringing out.

Although Little Diqiu looked utterly dejected, its tail wagged honestly, clearly indicating that it was already hopelessly immersed in the overwhelming shower of compliments.

While she was at it, Huo Yutong fed it a bowl of ice cream.

While licking the rim of his bowl, Xiao Diqiu listened intently to the girls chatting about interesting things at the academy.

Hmm... Shrek sounds interesting. Once I transform, I'll definitely pester my dad and beg him to let me go there for some fun!

Soon, the bottom of the bowl was filled with light. Little Diqiu licked her lips with lingering satisfaction, her round, red eyes full of longing.

As night deepened, the commotion inside the Spirit Pagoda subsided, and Huo Yutong picked up Little Diqiu amidst a chorus of farewells.

"Qiu'er, will you sleep with me tonight? I have something I want to tell you." Huo Yutong held the soft little one in her arms.

Little Diqiu nodded obediently.

After informing Di Tian, ​​Huo Yutong returned to her room.

"Yutong, why do you have so many plush toys on your bed?" Xiao Diqiu stared at the pile of dolls.

"By the way, do you have a towel? I need to wipe my paws before I can go up." Little Diqiu solemnly stretched out her pink paw pads.

"Yes." Huo Yutong chuckled, took out a brand new soft towel, and knelt down to gently wipe her.

"Thank you, Yutong, I can do it myself." This feeling of being taken care of reminded Xiao Diqiu of Biji.

Wiping her paws clean, Xiao Diqiu lightly jumped onto the bed, looking at each of the plush toys: "Hey, this is the black dragon plush toy that looks like Daddy, this is Mommy Brigitte, this is Mommy Murasaki... Wow, and there's also Tenmeng and Hyotei!"

"I couldn't find a Three-Eyed Golden Lion doll, so I just grabbed this Golden Cat to make do." Huo Yutong picked up an exquisite cat doll from the side.

Little Diqiu glanced at it, wrinkled her little nose in disgust: "I'm cuter."

"Of course, Qiu'er is one of a kind." Huo Yutong smiled and rubbed her head.

The atmosphere was harmonious. Huo Yutong took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and said softly, "Qiu'er, actually I've always wanted to... to truly integrate into your family and become one of you."

"You always have been." Without hesitation, Xiao Diqiu rubbed his head against her palm.

"Thank you, Qiu'er..." Huo Yutong's eyes were slightly hot, but her cheeks were burning hotter and hotter. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "Actually... I like Uncle Di Tian, ​​and I want... I want to marry him."

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Xiao Diqiu froze on the spot, her pupils dilating violently: Shock! You want to be my mother?!

"Wh-what?! You like my dad?!" She jumped up suddenly, startled so much that the downy hair on her body stood on end.

Huo Yutong nodded shyly, looking at her nervously.

After several breaths, Xiao Diqiu finally recovered from his shock and tilted his head to analyze, "If Dad likes you too, then you two can just be together."

"Don't you think... it's a little strange? I'm human, and we're friends..." Huo Yutong said somewhat nervously.

"What does race matter?" Little Diqiu flicked its tail nonchalantly. "Dad told me about the great deeds of the Dragon God. The Dragon God married nine concubines of different races. My ancestor, Yunni, was born to him and the Lion Consort. Dad and Mother Biji are of different races too."

She paused, then concluded with certainty, "Even if you marry Dad, we'll still be friends. We'll each stay in our own lives; there's no conflict!"

After hearing this "philosophical" speech, Huo Yutong was stunned, and then she hugged Xiao Diqiu tightly in her arms, moved: "Thank you, Qiu'er... thank you so much."

The moonlight outside the window was as clear as water. Little Diqiu nestled in her arms and yawned contentedly.

In the next room, the candlelight had gone out sometime earlier.

Bi Ji gently loosened her delicate hands, Zi Ji's eyes sparkled, and as her clothes were half-undone, Di Tian's large hand had already slipped inside her robe, roaming over her alabaster skin through the thin veil...

That night, I couldn't sleep.

The next morning, Huo Yutong woke up suffocating.

She vaguely felt a heavy weight on her face, as if a mountain of flesh was pressing down on her mouth and nose. With difficulty, she opened her eyes and found that Little Diqiu was lying on her face in a "big" shape, and this solid little golden ball was like Mount Tai pressing down on her.

"Ugh... Qiu'er... heavy..."

Huo Yutong's face turned red from holding her breath. It took a lot of effort to lift this "living brick" and then, panting heavily, moved her to the side of the pillow.

Xiao Diqiu simply turned over, smacked her lips, and continued to drift off into a sweet dream, completely unaware that she had almost caused a "murder."
