Douluo Continent: Little Huo Niang Taken Away by Di Tian

The next morning, Huo Yutong's "Confession Operation Plan" was officially launched.

As dawn broke, she packed the clothes and shoes she had carefully chosen the night before and left Shrek Academy with Tang Ya and the others.

She hasn't chosen the earrings yet; this is the last piece of the puzzle, and she needs to get it done by this afternoon.

Meanwhile, arrangements for the Spirit Pagoda were also underway.

The siblings Xie Sen and Xie Lin were happy to act as "mouthpieces," while Bi Ji and Zi Ji were responsible for "escorting" Di Tian to ensure that he would arrive at the designated location on time tonight.

As for the venue, Ning Tian booked out the most popular couples' restaurant in Shrek City.

"I'm not short of money." Ning Tian crossed her arms, her face full of confidence that "Ms. Ning will pay for everything."

That evening, Shrek City was lit up with lights.

Di Tian stood in front of the restaurant's entrance, his brows furrowing slightly.

Today he wore a three-piece suit that Brigitte and Violet had picked out for him together. The dark black fabric was well-tailored, and the dark gold patterns were faintly visible under the light, making his already tall figure appear even more slender.

But he is confused now.

Why is there no one in this shop?

The gate was tightly shut, and it was pitch black inside; there wasn't even a greeter.

Di Tian stood on the steps and turned to look at the end of the street. The sky had completely darkened, and the streetlights were turning on one by one, casting long shadows of pedestrians.

His eyesight is excellent; he can see every detail even in the dark, hundreds of meters away.

Then he saw a figure walking from the end of the street.

Di Tian's gaze froze instantly.

The figure drew closer and closer, and his gaze never left it.

Her blue hair was carefully styled into a bun at the back of her head, adorned with a few small white flowers, like stars scattered in the night sky.

On her earlobes, a pair of silver four-leaf clover earrings shimmered slightly under the light.

She wore light makeup, which made her already bright eyes shine even more like starlight.

A strapless, backless long dress draped over her body, the hem reaching her ankles, elegant and understated.

She wore a beige women's trench coat over her shoulders, casually draped over her shoulders, revealing her slender neck and delicate collarbones.

Di Tian's gaze paused slightly on her neck.

The dragon scale pendant, strung with red thread, rested quietly against her heart. The black dragon scales gleamed with a dark golden luster under the light, making her skin appear even whiter and more like jade.

That was the Achilles' heel he gave her back then.

Looking down, her fair and smooth calves were faintly visible through the hem of her skirt, and she wore a pair of open-toed white high heels. Her ten slender, jade-like toes were painted with bright red nail polish, like a few red plum petals fallen in the snow.

She walked over step by step, her high heels making a crisp sound on the stone pavement, which was particularly clear in the empty street.

Di Tian stood there, his throat tightening slightly.

"uncle--"

Huo Yutong stopped in front of him, the corners of her mouth slightly turned up, her cheeks flushed, her lips parted slightly, and her voice was indescribably gentle and delicate:

"Sorry to keep you waiting. The suit... suits you perfectly."

Di Tian's body stiffened for a moment.

He had seen her in her school uniform, he had seen her in casual clothes... but he had never seen her like this before, transforming from a little girl into a beautiful woman who could make his heart race.

"...Let's go." He responded softly.

Huo Yutong took his arm.

Di Tian's body stiffened again.

A waiter suddenly appeared from somewhere and enthusiastically led them inside.

The restaurant was exquisitely decorated, with warm yellow lighting, round tables covered with white tablecloths, and a piano in the corner. But there was no one there.

The entire hall was empty except for the two of them, the only "guests".

Di Tian looked around, his brows furrowing again: "This shop... isn't doing very well?"

Huo Yutong lowered her head, her lips twitched, and she didn't dare to speak.

The two were led to the largest table in the center and seated.

The waiter poured two glasses of water and quietly retreated to the backstage area, knowing he would never show up when he shouldn't tonight.

The sound of a piano began.

A romantic and delicate melody flowed gently through the hall, washing over every empty chair like water. Perfect background music.

"Yu Tong." Di Tian looked at her sitting opposite him, his gaze lingering on her face. "You look beautiful today. These suit you very well."

Huo Yutong's ears turned red again. She lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously tracing the rim of the water glass, her heart pounding as if it would jump out of her chest.

"Let's go to another store," Di Tian suddenly said.

Huo Yutong suddenly looked up.

"There are only the two of us in this restaurant, so business doesn't look too good." Di Tian's expression was serious, even with a hint of disdain. "The restaurants that Zi Ji and I used to go to are always busy, and the food is delicious. We'd like a private room."

The piano sound stopped abruptly.

……

Huo Yutong opened her mouth.

She meticulously planned the entire day. Clothes, shoes, ear piercings, hairstyle, makeup, restaurant—everything was prepared bit by bit by her and her friends.

She had thought of countless ways to start the conversation and countless possible reactions from him, but she never expected him to say "Let's go to another store."

The air froze for three seconds.

Looking at Di Tian's serious face, Huo Yutong suddenly felt both annoyed and pleased.

Forget it. I don't care anymore.

She suddenly stood up.

The chair leg made a soft creak as it rubbed against the floor.

"I love you!"

Di Tian was stunned.

Huo Yutong stood there, her face flushed, her eyes slightly hot, her voice trembling but incredibly clear:

"I love you, Di Tian!"

Di Tian looked at her, then he stood up, walked around the table, and stood in front of her.

He reached out and placed his hands on her shoulders. His fingers gently traced the skin of her bare shoulders, sending a subtle shiver down his spine.

His fingers moved to the back of her neck, removed the reverse scale pendant, and he closed his palm, holding the pendant in his hand.

He knelt down on one knee.

Huo Yutong stopped breathing.

Di Tian took her left hand and gently opened it. He slowly opened his other hand, and in his palm, the Reverse Scale pendant was gone. In its place was a ring.

"Yu Tong," Di Tian's voice was solemn, "marry me."

Huo Yutong's tears welled up instantly.

She watched as he slowly pushed the ring onto her ring finger.

The piano music started again.

This time it was a magnificent and warm piece of music that surged in like a tide, filling the entire empty hall.

Huo Yutong's lips trembled; she wanted to say something, but couldn't utter a single word.

She simply nodded vigorously, tears falling onto Di Tian's hand.

An unprecedented carnival is currently unfolding in Huo Yutong's spiritual sea.

"It's done! It's done! It's done—!!"

Tianmeng rolled around wildly in excitement, her body like an out-of-control spring, causing ripples in the surrounding spiritual energy.

Xie Lin has already started dancing the tentacle dance, singing "Congratulations" as he dances.

The little tapir emitted soft, joyful chirps as it hopped and skipped around in the sea of ​​consciousness.

A gentle and kind smile appeared on Electrolux's aged face, a heartfelt blessing from an elder.

Snow Empress and Ice Empress stood side by side, with Crescent Moon standing beside them, all with smiles on their faces.

The entire ocean of spirits rejoiced for her.

In reality, in the restaurant's lobby...

Di Tian slowly stood up, rising from a kneeling position. His tall figure cast Huo Yutong's shadow over her.

He reached out, his long, slender fingers gently stroking her cheek, softly wiping away the tears that kept welling up in the corners of her eyes.

Huo Yutong tilted her head back, glistening tears still clinging to her eyelashes, and closed her eyes expectantly.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, like butterfly wings fluttering in the wind.

The next second, a gentle kiss landed on her lips.
