Chapter 99 Di Tian: My Little Sweetheart is Leaky.
As the first rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone upon the magnificent plaza of the Papal Palace, Huo Yuhao had already led Gu Yuena out of their room. The morning air was fresh and cool, and the plaza still retained the tranquility of the night, broken only by the occasional chirping of birds.
Gu Yuena walked beside Huo Yuhao. At this moment, Gu Yuena's condition could be described as quite good; her complexion was rosy and she was full of energy. However, Huo Yuhao next to her looked exhausted, with large dark circles under his eyes, bloodshot eyes, making him look like a panda. He was also constantly yawning and appeared somewhat listless.
Looking at the scene before them, it's easy to let one's imagination run wild, as if Gu Yuena had done something to Huo Yuhao last night. However, this idea is clearly wrong. After all, Gu Yuena is a respectable dragon, and her character is "upright"; she would never do such a thing.
The incident stemmed from the previous night. Huo Yuhao was preparing to leave, an action that naturally provoked strong dissatisfaction from Bibi Dong, Hu Liena, and Dugu Yan. The three decided to take action against Huo Yuhao, and that very night, they secretly sneaked into his room. Without saying a word, they began to grope him.
Fortunately, Gu Yuena arrived in time to stop Bibi Dong and her two companions from committing their evil deeds, thus preventing a tragic incident. Afterwards, Gu Yuena suggested that since they were already there, they might as well play games to pass the time. So, the group began playing cards.
The atmosphere of the game gradually became more lively, and the group became increasingly engrossed in the game. However, for some reason, things started to look a little strange. Unconsciously, their clothes began to flutter around like love letters from a fifth grader, and the scene began to get a little out of control. Before long, the group had even ended up playing in bed.
The girls were having a blast, but Huo Yuhao was in a terrible state, barely getting any rest all night. He was like a giant doll, constantly being pulled around and pushed by the girls, being tossed about by one one and another the next, for the entire night.
With Huo Yuhao's strength, dealing with one or two would be a piece of cake, but there were four of them! How could Huo Yuhao possibly handle them all? In just one night, he was completely exhausted, both physically and mentally! His body felt like it had been drained of its energy, every cell was protesting, he had been utterly worn out last night!
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao looked at Gu Yuena with a resentful expression.
Gu Yuena coughed lightly a few times, and facing Huo Yuhao's resentful gaze, she slowly said, "Cheer up. If others see you like this, they'll think I did something to you. What kind of man are you, looking so listless?"
Hearing Gu Yuena's words, Huo Yuhao stared at her with wide eyes. "No, sister, you didn't mention a word about why I'm like this today. You were the one who kept me up the longest last night, and now you're pretending to know nothing. You're really being presumptuous."
Feeling Huo Yuhao's shocked gaze, Gu Yuena immediately became angry and embarrassed: "So what? I just held you while you slept last night. I didn't do anything to you. How can you be so petty, you're a grown man? Fine, I'll let you hold me while I sleep another day, okay?"
Seeing Gu Yuena's unreasonable attitude, Huo Yuhao was furious. This was like being a tiger fallen into the valley and bullied by dogs. Huo Yuhao, the dignified god of emotions and disciple of the love saint Rong Nianbing, was being played by a group of women. It was an utter disgrace!
Unfortunately, he's just a little kid now. But when he grows up, when his little Yuhao grows up, Huo Yuhao will definitely show Gu Yuena what a true pillar of white jade supporting the sky and a beam of purple gold spanning the sea really are...
Meanwhile, deep within the Starry Sky Forest, around the Lake of Life.
The lake water is crystal clear, surrounded by lush trees and various exotic plants, which shimmer with a captivating glow under the sunlight. The lake surface is usually as calm as a mirror, occasionally disturbed by a few water birds skimming across the water, creating ripples.
However, on this tranquil morning, the calm lake surface was suddenly broken by a series of dense bubbles. Immediately afterwards, a fluffy, golden head emerged from the water. This little creature was none other than the legendary imperial beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
As soon as the three-eyed golden lion came ashore, it warily scanned its surroundings with its large eyes, as if afraid of being discovered by something. Its small nose constantly sniffed the various scents in the air, trying to discern something. Then, it began to stealthily dart towards the nearby bushes.
However, before the three-eyed golden lion could run very far, strange ripples suddenly appeared in the surrounding air, as if a mirror had shattered. Then, a strong voice entered its ears, full of authority and concern: "Auspicious beast, stop being naughty and go home quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, Di Tian's tall figure appeared in front of the auspicious beast, blocking its path.
The moment it saw Di Tian, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion wilted like a frostbitten eggplant. Its eyes were filled with grievance, and it said to Di Tian with teary eyes, "I just wanted to go for a walk around. Don't be so strict with me. I promise I'll be right back."
Hearing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's words, Di Tian shook his head and said with a serious expression, "Auspicious Beast, I know you want to go find that human, but I will not agree. That kid doesn't seem like a good person, and the human world is dangerous. Those humans are all cunning. Especially that brat, he's the most cunning of all. I will absolutely not let you go to her."
"Di Tian, how could you do this!" The three-eyed golden lion's voice was full of grievance and dissatisfaction, and its eyes were glistening with tears, as if it had suffered a great injustice.
"He's different from other humans. He has an aura that I'm very familiar with," the Three-Eyed Golden Lion continued to argue, his voice filled with determination. "Besides, he's not some brat. You're not allowed to talk about him like that. I'm going to find him."
Seeing the auspicious beast arguing back at him so fiercely, Di Tian felt a pang of heartache. He was filled with confusion, not understanding what had happened. Wasn't the auspicious beast always so obedient? Why had it changed so drastically? Di Tian felt increasingly weary.
When did this start? Di Tian tried hard to recall. It seemed to have started after Huo Yuhao appeared. Since Huo Yuhao's appearance, the auspicious beast had secretly run away countless times. It always tried to sneak out to find that young human when Di Tian wasn't paying attention. Moreover, whenever Di Tian tried to correct the auspicious beast's behavior, it would always talk back to him without fear.
At this moment, Di Tian finally realized that his little cotton-padded jacket seemed to be leaking air like a fishing net!
It's all Huo Yuhao's fault!
