Guilongchao: I played the domineering CEO to the bone.

Min Moyou approached, but Xiao Lin, who was completely absorbed in her mental breakdown, didn't notice him at all.

Min Moyou frowned slightly when he saw the restless black energy on her body. He was about to go over and put his hand on her shoulder to comfort her, and at the same time use the power of the Supreme Dragon Curse to suppress the dragon curse that was about to go out of control in Xiao Lin's body.

"Little guy, you..."

Who knew that Rin, who was crying just a second ago, would suddenly stand up abruptly the next second, her tear-streaked face a mixture of grievance and fighting spirit—

"I am the Frost Goddess who has traversed countless ages! How can I be forever suppressed in the cold, boundless abyss by the evil claws of the Ice Queen Mother!"

"This confined world cannot contain the great Frost Goddess! I can no longer suppress the fervor and untamed spirit within me! I will break free from these shackles and embark on a journey to explore the boundless world—"

"Ouch... Ouch!"

Huh?! Is it Mom who's here? The great Frost Goddess hasn't even taken her first step in exploring the world, and she's already being dragged back by those demonic claws?!

Unsurprisingly, Xiao Lin was halfway through her grand speech when she bumped into Min Moyou's chest, who was standing nearby. She lost her balance, fell backward, and landed hard, letting out a loud scream.

Xiao Lin felt a sharp pain, as if her butt had been smashed into eighteen pieces!

Her little hands rubbed her sore bottom, and she stared blankly at the newcomer—

Ouch! How dare he inflict such harm on the great Frost Goddess? He must be a great demon king blocking my path to freedom!

Similarly, Min Moyou stared at her with a blank expression.

Seriously, she really is a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) girl...? So unconventional!

The comforting words that Min Moyou had prepared were suddenly useless.

The two stared at each other, neither knowing what to say.

Min Moyou looked at her calmly, and Xiao Lin's face slowly flushed...

The outgoing girl spoke first:

"Who...are you? Just now...didn't you hear me say anything strange?"

Min Moyou reached out a hand to Xiao Lin, who was sitting on the ground, as if to help her up. He smiled gently and said:

"A kind passerby. As for the strange things they said... they must have heard them."

His eyes held a half-smile, full of mockery.

"Hear...? Where did it start from...?"

Of course, Xiao Lin wouldn't mind accepting the handsome older brother's kindness. The hand that was just rubbing her buttocks was now on Min Moyou's big hand.

But it was still so embarrassing that her heartfelt words were overheard by a stranger without any warning!! Ahhh!!! He really is the Great Demon King, isn't he?! He must be the Great Demon King, right?!

He wanted to kill me with my shame! How despicable!

Will he think I'm weird?! Will he think I'm crazy?! He probably isn't a fan of mine, right?! No way, no way!! This is unacceptable!!!

Xiao Lin's eyes gradually lost focus, and her face visibly became even redder.

"Start from the side that spans eternity."

Min Moyou responded calmly, seemingly not finding her strange at all.

With a slight exertion of force, he pulled Xiao Lin, who had fallen to the ground, up—and through the contact between their palms, he extended the power of the Supreme Dragon Curse into Xiao Lin's body, forcibly suppressing the dragon curse within her that was on the verge of exploding and going out of control.

After a brief assessment—whoa? So young, yet stronger than Tong. Indeed, the Dragon's Blood depends on talent.

Oh my, you little rascal, you want to evolve the Dragon Realm and create a complicated plot to make things difficult for my little Tong?

Because soon after, Rin's mother, who has been searching for her for a long time and is extremely controlling, will find herself at the Dragon Tide Pavilion and post a request to find the missing girl. Then, Hitomi will take the request with Master Zhu, and they will discover the dragon domain that Rin's dragon curse has unleashed out of control near the subway station...

But that's no longer the case; the runaway child has been caught by Minmoyou.

Upon hearing Min Moyou's reply, Lin silently withdrew his hand from Min Moyou's grasp, his mind going completely blank!

'From the side of absolute dominance throughout the ages', 'From the side of absolute dominance throughout the ages', 'From the side of absolute dominance throughout the ages'...

Ahhh!! Doesn't that mean I heard everything?!

Xiaolin feels that she no longer has the face to live in this world.

"Oh, no,"

Min Moyou corrected him.

"I think I started listening from the parts about 'I don't want to practice' and 'tournament mistakes'."

"Hey! You rude person! You haven't been standing next to me listening for a long time, have you?!"

"No, not really, it's just that my hearing is a bit weak."

However, when those things were mentioned, Xiaolin's initial embarrassment and shyness were quickly dispelled by endless disappointment and depression, and she became gloomy.

Xiao Lin slumped down again, hugging her knees, tears welling up in her eyes once more...

"Then you must think I'm a runaway bad kid, right...?"

"No, you don't. Tell me about it, little one. Maybe I can help you?"

Min Moyou patted her shoulder and sat down next to Lin.

Before this, Min Moyou had secretly told Yu Bing and the others to go about their business and not to pay attention to Min Moyou's side; at the same time, he ordered the griffin to follow them secretly to ensure the safety of Xiao Ao Hui, the Supreme Dragon Curse.

Of course, Xiao Ao Hui also possesses the ability to conceal the aura of the Dragon Curse, and is even far more advanced than Min Moyou—but what if something unexpected happens?

"Then let me tell you about it."

Perfect timing! Xiao Lin was looking for someone to confide in—this handsome guy had unintentionally overheard so many of her secrets, and he was so approachable; he was the perfect person to talk to.

The two found a bench in the subway station and chatted for quite a while.

Xiao Lin said she misses the warmth of home that her father gave her—but after transferring to Muya District and living only with her mother, the warm and gentle father in her memory has been squeezed into a corner of her mind by countless pieces of knowledge, skills, goals, and inspirational quotes.

Xiaolin said she wasn't sure if she liked figure skating or not, but that was all she knew. Her mother always greedily thought she wasn't doing well enough and that there was room for improvement—she hated her mother like that, but being sensible, she also knew how much her mother had sacrificed for her.

Xiao Lin said she didn't have a childhood; her childhood was spent trying various art forms. After discovering her talent for figure skating, she spent all her free time practicing. She always envied other children who could play games and have fun...

Xiao Lin said she didn't know what her mother was thinking. Even on the eve of transferring to Muya District, she overheard her parents, who clearly loved each other, arguing.

She felt like she was a tool her mother used to achieve a certain goal, but her mother said it was all for her own good...

That's a "mother"! How could she harm her own child?

That's her "mother"! What she says is "absolutely correct"!

That's her "mother"! To enroll her in the best figure skating lessons, she worked two jobs, leaving early and returning late, constantly arranging for her to register for various competitions, book plane and train tickets, and manage her loose fan club.

My mother isn't actually that old, but she's aged very quickly; the paleness and wrinkles on her face speak volumes of her weariness and vicissitudes...

That's the mother who made Xiaolin neither dare to resist nor bear to resist.

........

"Okay, I've finished talking. It's getting late, and I... I should go home."

After confiding for a long time, each word Xiao Lin uttered seemed to drain away a bit of her strength. When she finished speaking, she leaned weakly on Min Moyou's shoulder and struggled to her feet.

After Min Moyou suppressed the restless dragon curse, Xiao Lin's negative emotions were relieved after she poured out her heart, her broken psychological defenses were slightly strengthened, and her rationality gradually returned.

She understood that this time, running away from home might mean she had to slink back home on her own.

Same as several times before.

Don't worry your mother...

"If you trust me, perhaps I can help you."

Min Moyou pulled the unsteady girl into his arms and leaned her against him, afraid that she would fall down again if she lost her balance.

Her situation is not good right now.

"How do you want to help me?"

Xiao Lin slightly lifted her droopy eyelids, the light in her eyes flashing briefly, but she didn't seem to mind Min Moyou's embrace.

“I will persuade your mother to realize her mistake.”

Ultimately, Xiaolin's mother is just an ordinary, very ordinary person—and the domineering CEO is best at manipulating ordinary people.

"Come on... don't waste your time..."

"People from Qinmin District don't lie to people from Qinmin District."

"Are you also from Qinmin District?"

"Ah."

"Really? Are you sure?"

"Trust me, and then leave everything to me."

"Then—? People from Qinmin District don't lie to people from Qinmin District!"

"Yes, I'm not lying."

"Hook!"

"Hook."

"If you lie to me... if you lie to me you will... um... I haven't decided yet!"

"Then forget about it, we won't need it anyway."
