Douluo Continent: Invincible Since Being Forced into Marriage by a Goddess

If she hugged me from that angle, my head would be completely buried in there. What if I suffocated to death?

"Eh... all right."

Su Bei scratched his head helplessly. Xiao Wu's possessiveness was still quite strong. It seemed he could only hug her in secret from now on.

Xiao Wu looked at Liu Erlong warily. "What do you want with us? If it's nothing, don't block our way. We're leaving!"

Liu Erlong smiled. "The nearest city around here is Notting City. Are you children from Notting City, or do you live in one of the nearby villages?"

The innocent Xiao Wu blinked. "Eh, Brother, didn't you just say we were going to Notting City?"

"Mm, we're going to Notting City. We want to visit Notting Academy and admire the bearing of Lord Soul Masters."

"Where are your parents?"

"We don't have parents. They both passed away."

"How pitiful."

Pity arose in Liu Erlong's heart. With Su Bei's tacit cooperation, she naturally followed the opening and voiced her idea.

"Since that's the case, I'll be your mother from now on. Let me take care of you, all right?"

Liu Erlong took out her badge. "I'm the vice principal of Blue Tyrant Academy, and even the principal of Notting Academy gives me some face. Since you want to look around Notting Academy, I'll take you there for a visit. Then you can come back to Blue Tyrant Academy with me. How about it?"

At this time, Liu Erlong was still fairly amiable. Perhaps she liked these two children too much, which was why she displayed such remarkable patience.

But Xiao Wu's repeated refusals made Liu Erlong lose her temper.

Seven Soul Rings immediately appeared: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black.

She was clearly a newly advanced Soul Sage.

Perhaps she had come to Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for a Soul Ring and had happened upon this exceedingly handsome boy.

It truly seemed like heaven had taken pity on her, giving her a chance to make up for her regrets.

With one child tucked under each arm, she snapped, "I'm being your mother today whether you like it or not! Listen to me. What I say goes! We'll do it my way!"

Notting City.

Liu Erlong led Xiao Wu and Su Bei through the bustling streets.

The gazes of passersby gathered on them, and they all pointed at Su Bei as they said:

"What a beautiful boy!"

"If my daughter could marry him in the future, I'd be thrilled to death!"

"That little fellow is really good-looking."

A passerby struck up a conversation with Liu Erlong. "Your child must have inherited your looks. He's so adorable and handsome. When he grows up, he'll surely be an extraordinary person."

Liu Erlong's maternal instincts were greatly satisfied.

"Thank you," Liu Erlong replied politely.

Xiao Wu held two candied hawthorn skewers. As she gently licked one with her little pink tongue, she muttered, "I haven't agreed to be her daughter yet. Hmph, hmph~"

"So sweet."

The red sugar coating on the candied hawthorn skewer had been licked smooth and shiny by Xiao Wu, its sweetness seeping into her heart.

"So the human world is this fun."

Xiao Wu leaned close to Su Bei's ear and spoke softly.

Although Liu Erlong's domineering behavior and the peculiar way she looked at Su Bei displeased her, perhaps this was the jealousy and possessiveness her mother had told her humans possessed.

She simply liked having Brother all to herself.

Still, during this time, Xiao Wu had also sensed that Liu Erlong bore them no ill will. She could even be said to care for them exceedingly well.

Along the way, Liu Erlong spent money lavishly, taking the two of them out to eat and drink. Whenever they came across some little trinket they liked, she bought it without even blinking.

In other words, she simply did not lack money.

Deep down, Xiao Wu was no longer quite so resistant.

Su Bei's expression tightened. He glanced at Xiao Wu and said in a low voice, "Don't say things like that in the human world from now on. Those powerful people have excellent hearing. If you're not careful, you'll expose yourself!"
