The Divine Progenitor of Douluo

That night, as the group rested, Ling'er found Xiao Tian sitting alone by a stream.

"Can't sleep?" she asked, sitting beside him.

He shook his head. "Just thinking about what lies ahead. The God Realm trials, the dangers we'll face…"

Ling'er placed a hand on his. "You don't have to bear it all alone. You have us."

Her words and touch sent a shiver through him, but before he could respond, Renxue appeared.

"Planning to monopolize him, are we?" Renxue teased, her golden eyes glinting.

Ling'er stood abruptly, her cheeks flushed. "I-I wasn't…!"

Renxue chuckled, sitting on Xiao Tian's other side. "Relax, I'm just here to make sure he doesn't get too soft."
