Another round of chaos erupted between Little Nonpoint and Huo Ling'er.
I raised you like a baby, and you want to be my uncle?
I'm giving you such an outstanding new relative, and you still hit me?
Another war broke out between them.
"Ah! You hit my butt again! Don't you know nobody touches Little Nonpoint's butt?" Little Nonpoint yelled, swinging back with a slap.
Smack!
Different person, same spot. Huo Ling'er took a slap from Little Nonpoint too.
"Milk Baby, you're asking for it!" Huo Ling'er's face turned red. She was determined to subdue him today.
High above, Meng Chuan, Willow God, the Forbidden Zone Lord, and his two Attendants watched with strange expressions.
Well, leave Willow God out of that.
The others also wanted to laugh. What an imaginative child.
"Brother Yuan, are you trying to bring Little Nonpoint and Huo Ling'er together?" the Forbidden Zone Lord asked after a moment's hesitation.
Meng Chuan nodded. "Not exactly. It's destined."
"They're destined to be together."
"What if he really becomes sworn brothers with the Fire Emperor?"
Meng Chuan gave the Forbidden Zone Lord a surprised look. He hadn't expected the old fellow to have a sense of humor.
"Then each relationship stands on its own."
"..." The Forbidden Zone Lord had no words. Fine. That answer suited Meng Chuan perfectly.
The Forbidden Zone Lord did find it a little strange. He knew Little Nonpoint's potential. This child was never going to be confined to the Eight Domains.
One day, he would surely soar into the heavens. Even the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands would not be his final destination.
Why was Meng Chuan so eager to arrange a childhood betrothal for him?
Meng Chuan watched Little Nonpoint and Huo Ling'er "battle," feeling quite pleased.
*I'm doing a fine job
