Douluo Continent: Little Huo Niang Taken Away by Di Tian

Chapter 327 A Heart Full of Love and Care

The morning light was just beginning to break through the darkness at the training ground on the back mountain of Poseidon Pavilion.

Moon was carrying out his daily "morning lesson"—unilaterally beating Xuanzi.

Currently, Mu En is the only Limit Douluo on the entire continent, and he is at the peak of his power.

Long Xiaoyao's sacrifice not only healed his spine, which had been afflicted for many years, but also transferred all of his immense soul power and life force to him.

Mu En could easily live for several more decades; his boundless energy makes all the elders of the Sea God Pavilion tremble with fear.

After all, it would be terrifying for a Limit Douluo in his prime to have nothing to do.

Fortunately, he now has a new life goal: to take care of Zhang Lexuan, Beibei, and Tangya's children after they are born.

But before that, he had to train Xuanzi to become a Limit Douluo.

"Master Mu...you've been...no, teaching me for quite a while now..." Xuanzi, covered in dust, got up from the ground, his voice barely audible. "How about...we take a break?"

Moon withdrew his hand, the golden dragon shadow around him slowly dissipating. His expression was kind, and his tone gentle: "Alright. Remember to be on time tonight."

Xuanzi: "..."

He certainly knew what "arrive on time in the evening" meant. It wasn't about going out for tea and a chat; it was Moon's "evening training package."

What could Xuanzi do? He could only endure Mu En's "deeply caring heart." Who told him to be so useless, stuck at level 98 for decades?

For the sake of his own life, he has reduced his meals from ten to eight a day, using the time between those two meals for cultivation.

If Mu En knew that Xuanzi was working so "hard," he would definitely give him extra "special training."

At the edge of the training ground, a group of elders were gathered in a semi-circle to watch the spectacle.

Zhang Peng squatted on the steps, grinning with his big white teeth, slapping his thigh with amusement.

"No wonder you guys dragged me here!" he said with a laugh to Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo beside him, "This is much more interesting than watching a play!"

Zhang Peng's current identity is the Honorary Elder of the Sea God Pavilion. Originally, Mu En arranged a position of real power for him, but after this Scorpion Tiger Douluo infiltrated the Holy Spirit Cult, he had long seen through the power struggles and simply waved his hand: "I just want a nominal position. Just pay me a salary, and don't bother me with anything."

Moon couldn't refuse him, so he gave him a sinecure as an honorary elder.

But Zhang Peng never expected that, despite the seemingly leisurely job, he couldn't escape morning exercise.

On the morning of his second day after reporting to the Sea God Pavilion, before dawn, he was lifted up by a pair of "Sleeping Dragon and Young Phoenix" on either side.

On the left is Yan Shaozhe, whose martial soul is the Phoenix of Light. He is the current dean of Shrek Academy and Mu En's disciple. He has a smiling face, but his strength is ridiculously great.

On the right is Qian Duoduo, whose martial spirit is the Wulong Shield. He is the vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department and has a "Brother, don't be afraid, I'll take you flying" expression on his face. His hands are clamped like iron clamps.

"Old Zhang, it's time for morning exercise!" the two said in unison.

Then Zhang Peng was helped to complete his first-ever morning run around Shrek City.

When I came back from the run, it was just in time for Mu En's daily routine of "caring" for Xuanzi.

From then on, Zhang Peng arrived on time every morning, not for any other reason than to watch the excitement.

The problem is that he can't help but laugh every time he sees Xuanzi rolling on the ground being beaten by Mu En and shedding "moved" tears.

And when he smiles, his big teeth are showing.

And the more they laughed, the louder they became.

Every time Xuanzi got up from the ground, he would see Zhang Peng squatting on the steps, laughing so hard his shoulders were shaking. His gloating expression made Xuanzi grit his teeth in hatred, but because Mu En was present, he dared not retaliate and could only keep this grudge in his heart.

"Zhang Peng," Xuanzi shouted through gritted teeth, "You can laugh all you want, but stop showing your teeth, okay?"

"Hahaha, no way!" Zhang Peng laughed while wiping his eyes. "Your 'touched' tears are too real, I can't hold it in—hahahaha!"

Yan Shaozhe sighed, rubbing his forehead. "Old Zhang, mind your image."

Qian Duoduo then took out a soul-guided recording pen: "I recorded it. I'll make a 'Touching Shrek' commemorative compilation for Elder Xuan later."

He also has a soul-guided recorder and a soul-guided projector, all as a memorial.

"Qian Duoduo! You just wait!" Xuanzi roared.

Looking at this group of lively characters, Mu En smiled slightly, put his hands behind his back, and turned to walk into the Sea God Pavilion.

Mu En pushed open the door of the Sea God Pavilion, and the morning breeze, carrying the fresh scent of the grass and trees on the back mountain, followed him in. He had just finished "instructing" Xuanzi, and his blood and energy were flowing smoothly throughout his body.

Then he saw two people sitting on the sofa in the reception area.

Di Tian and Huo Yutong sat side by side.

Upon seeing Mu En, Huo Yutong immediately stood up and obediently greeted him, "Hello, Elder Mu."

Mu En smiled and nodded, just as he was about to say something, when Di Tian spoke up.

The Beast God's words were straightforward: "I proposed to Yu Tong."

Moon paused for a moment, his eyes widening slightly, as if he had been struck by this unexpected news.

But he quickly realized—no, he had actually anticipated this day.

But when I actually heard those words, a feeling I couldn't quite describe welled up inside me.

"...Okay." Mu En's smile carried the satisfaction of an elder. "As Yu Tong's teacher, I naturally wish her happiness."

He sat down opposite the two of them, his gaze falling on the ring on Huo Yutong's ring finger, which gleamed with a dark golden luster in the morning light.

But then, Huo Yutong's expression changed.

She took a deep breath, sat up straight, placed her hands on her knees, and looked directly at Moon.

"Elder Mu..." Her voice was a little lower than before, "There's something I've always wanted to tell you."

Moon looked at her, his brow furrowing almost imperceptibly. He could sense that what followed would not be an easy topic.

"I am the illegitimate daughter of the White Tiger Duke."

When those words were spoken, the reception area fell into a brief silence.

Moon did not show any surprise; his composure and experience prevented him from easily losing his composure.

"I will soon return to the White Tiger Duke's mansion," Huo Yutong said steadily, "to pay respects to my mother, and—to seek revenge."

Moon remained silent for a moment.

He understood everything, of course. Dai Huabin was still in the inner courtyard; he was also her half-brother. Dai Yueheng was currently serving in the army in the Jingyang Mountains, while Dai Hao, the Duke of White Tiger himself, was in Xingluo City.

"At that time," Mu En said slowly, "I will have Shao Zhe send Dai Huabin back to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion."

He paused, then looked at Huo Yutong: "As for the Star Crown Emperor..."

"His Majesty knows my identity," Huo Yutong said calmly. "I will inform His Majesty in advance."

Moon nodded.

"I want to—" Huo Yutong's voice rang out firmly, "to go back with my head held high."

Huo Yutong had already decided that regardless of whether her confession to Di Tian was successful or not, she would return to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.
