Douluo Continent: Dark Demon God Biao, inheriting the position of an evil god

Chapter 6 Dai Huabin: Third brother, do you want a wife?

Zhu Yun'er's smile vanished instantly, her brows furrowed, and her tone turned cold: "What's he doing here? Didn't I tell you not to let irrelevant people bother us?"

The butler replied in a low voice, "He said his mother is seriously ill and weak and needs nutrition, so he came here... to ask for some food."

It turned out that after the doctor left, Huo Yuhao was extremely anxious when he saw his mother's increasingly pale and haggard face.

But he was penniless and couldn't afford any tonics. With nowhere else to turn, he could only endure the humiliation and come to the outside of the Duke's banquet hall, a place he would never normally approach, hoping to beg for some scraps.

Upon hearing this, a complex emotion flashed in Zhu Yun'er's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by displeasure.

She snorted coldly, deliberately raising her voice to make sure the stern tone of her words carried: "Hmph! Since he's here, just give him some food and send him on his way."

"Remember, there's no need to report such trivial matters anymore! If they affect Yun'er's appetite or mood, who among you can afford to take responsibility!"

"Yes, Madam, this old servant understands." The steward replied respectfully and quietly withdrew to make the arrangements.

Shortly after the butler left, a small, thin figure appeared at the entrance of the banquet hall.

Huo Yuhao walked in with his head down, his hands clenched into fists, and his steps stiff.

His patched, faded old clothes stood in stark contrast to the splendor of the banquet hall.

Huo Yuhao kept his head down almost the entire time, wanting only to quickly take the package of food wrapped in oil paper—a symbol of charity—from the servant and then immediately escape this place that made him feel incredibly humiliated.

However, his attire and current predicament still caught the eye of Ma Xiaotao, who was having her meal.

She was outspoken and, given her limited knowledge of the Duke's household, asked with some curiosity, "Dai Yueheng, how come there are beggars coming to your Duke's mansion to beg for food?"

Although the voice wasn't loud, it clearly reached Huo Yuhao's ears in the relatively quiet dining environment.

The word "beggar" was like two red-hot steel needles, piercing deeply into Huo Yuhao's already sensitive and self-conscious heart.

His body stiffened abruptly, and he turned his head sharply. In his eyes, which appeared unusually large due to malnutrition, a fierceness and resentment that was beyond his years instantly erupted as he glared at Ma Xiaotao!
That look in her eyes stunned Ma Xiaotao, who was usually very knowledgeable, for a few seconds.

She never expected that a little beggar would dare to look at her like that!

Once she realized what had happened, a surge of anger and embarrassment welled up inside her.

Ma Xiaotao is the pride of Shrek Academy. When has she ever been stared at so rudely by a boy of unknown origin?

"How dare you glare at me!" Ma Xiaotao's pretty face darkened, and she was about to lash out.

However, before she could speak, Huo Yuhao, clutching the bag of food tightly, rushed out of the restaurant without looking back.

In his simplistic understanding, this stunningly beautiful girl in fiery red attire was definitely in league with the Duchess, someone he couldn't afford to offend at the moment.

"Hmph!" Ma Xiaotao snorted angrily as she watched the figure disappear quickly.

Dai Yueheng witnessed all of this and said:

"Alright, Xiaotao, don't be angry. He's just the son of a servant. You're just making a fool of yourself by arguing with a good-for-nothing like him."

Although Ma Xiaotao was still a little annoyed by Dai Yueheng's words, she thought it wasn't worth getting angry over such an insignificant person, so she pursed her lips and turned her attention back to the dining table.

However, her impression of that "little beggar" had already reached its lowest point.

……

As night deepened, the hustle and bustle within the Duke's mansion gradually subsided.

In the beautifully decorated yet cozy bedroom, Zhu Yun'er leaned against the soft bed, while Dai Yuntian was gently held in her arms, just like when they were children, as they prepared to fall asleep.

Since Dai Yuntian was born, he has been born with congenital deficiencies and a weak constitution, requiring constant care. Therefore, the mother and son have always slept in the same bed, even now that he is six years old. Although Dai Yuntian has now received divine blessings and his health has greatly improved.

But Zhu Yun'er doesn't seem to be used to it yet, or rather, deep down she still craves the sense of security of being able to hold her child in her arms.

Dai Yuntian wanted to suggest sleeping alone, but when he looked up and saw his mother's complicated look, he swallowed the words he was about to say and could only helplessly continue to act as her "human pillow".

Zhu Yun'er had a great figure, voluptuous and shapely. At this moment, she was only wearing a thin nightgown and was holding Dai Yuntian tightly in her arms.

The soft touch and rich fragrance almost made Dai Yuntian, who had just recovered from illness and whose senses had become more acute, feel breathless.

"Mother...you...loosen it a little, it's too tight..."

Dai Yuntian finally managed to peek out and catch his breath.

Zhu Yun'er then relaxed her grip slightly, but her gaze remained tenderly fixed on her son's face.

Especially the newly added dark scale mark on his forehead, which exudes a faint eerie aura.

Zhu Yun'er stretched out her slender fingers and carefully touched the mark that represented divine favor, asking curiously, "Yun'er, can you tell your mother... what kind of god is that evil god?"

She paused, a comparative look appearing on her face, tinged with a sense of pride for her own family: "Compared to our family's ancestors Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, who both became gods, who is more powerful?"

Feeling his mother's concern, Dai Yuntian gathered his thoughts and explained in the simplest possible way:

“Mother, the God of Evil… well, he’s not really that great. He’s just one of the highest rulers of the divine realm, one of the five great god-kings.”

"As for our ancestors Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing..."

Dai Yuntian paused for a moment, then chose a relatively tactful way of putting it.

"They are very powerful, having ascended to godhood, but there are also different levels among gods. Our ancestors were second-level gods, while the evil god was a god-king... The difference between them is like... like the difference between a titled Douluo and an ordinary soul master, or perhaps even greater."

"real?!"

Zhu Yun'er's heart was instantly filled with immense joy and a sense of relief. She couldn't help but lower her head and kiss Dai Yuntian's smooth face several times, her voice full of delight: "That's wonderful! You truly are my Yun'er!"

She didn't understand anything about a God-King or a Second-Level God. All she knew was that the god who protected her son was even more powerful than the most glorious ancestor in her family's history!
"Alright, Mother, it's late, you should go to sleep."

Dai Yuntian felt a little embarrassed by the kiss and gently pushed his mother away.

"Alright, alright, go to sleep, my precious Yun'er."

Zhu Yun'er was satisfied and finally loosened her embrace a little, but still gently patted Dai Yuntian's back and sang songs to lull him to sleep, just like when he was a child.

……

the next day.

Dai Yuntian slept incredibly soundly, as if he had made up for all the good sleep he had missed in the previous years.

I didn't wake up naturally until the midday sun was high in the sky, feeling refreshed and full of energy.

Dai Yuntian had just stretched and was about to savor this rare moment of relaxation.

With a loud bang, the door was pushed open forcefully.

Second Brother Dai Huabin burst in, his face beaming with an excited yet slightly mysterious smile, his voice booming: "Third Brother! Get up! Your second brother is asking you, do you want a wife?"
