Zhou Qingqing really was thinking about Duobao.
She had originally planned to arrange the Seven Little Ones in order, but when it came to Duobao, she got stuck.
What... should I do with Junior Brother Duobao?
I never should have said anything about having the Seven Little Ones join the Heavenly Court!!!
