"Do you really like Brother Xiao Mo? Brother Xiao Mo can be very busy, he won't play with you!"
"But I will play with you~"
Dou Xiaodou persuaded earnestly, his face full of sincerity. It was clear he truly wanted Xiao Xiaoxiao to stay.
Xiao Xiaoxiao obviously liked Dou Xiaodou very much, but thinking of Xiao Mo, she still shook her head resolutely.
"No, I have to go home! Xiao Mo is still thinking about me!"
Dou Xiaodou was about to say more, but the Goddess of Destiny, Ila, patted him, signaling him not to speak further.
The Goddess of Destiny, Ila, looked at Xiao Xiaoxiao gently and asked:
"Why must you go back now?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiaoxiao pressed her heart, then raised her cute little face and said:
"Because I feel uneasy in my heart. He is summoning me, and I must return to Xiao Mo's side."
"And I keep seeing bad scenes before my eyes, which makes me feel very uneasy."
The Goddess of Destiny, Ila, smiled and said:
"Alright, child. Since your heart is calling you, then follow your nature and return to the person you wish to be with."
It seemed this child was indeed, as she suspected, a perfect successor to the Goddess of Destiny.
Dou Xiaodou, seeing Xiao Xiaoxiao about to leave, pouted unhappily.
"Then Xiao Xiaoxiao, if you go back, will you come find me again?"
Xiao Xiaoxiao immediately nodded and said:
"Of course! If I go back, I will definitely come to play with you again. You must believe me!"
These two little ones were so reluctant to part. The Goddess of Destiny, Ila, shook her head at this moment and said:
"Don't worry so much, you two. Dou Xiaodou, you can go back with Xiao Xiaoxiao."
Upon hearing this, Dou Xiaodou's eyes immediately lit up with surprise.
"Really? I can go back too? That's wonderful! I also want to visit the Immortal-Demon Empire."
The Goddess of Destiny, Ila, immediately nodded.
"Of course. If you go, you must obey His Majesty, the ruler of the Immortal-Demon Empire. You must not cause him any trouble."
But as she finished speaking, Dou Xiaodou's joy diminished.
At this moment, he keenly detected a wrongness in the Goddess's tone.
It seemed to carry a hint of weariness that made him feel very uneasy.
Dou Xiaodou walked up to the Goddess of Destiny and said:
"Auntie Goddess, why are you letting me go? Are there other reasons you haven't told me?"
It was then that he suddenly remembered that Sister Goddess usually paid the most attention to his divine power.
But ever since Xiao Xiaoxiao arrived, Sister Goddess had relaxed her vigilance.
She usually just let him play happily.
This was not right. Combined with the Goddess's current demeanor, Dou Xiaodou knew something must have happened.
However, after Dou Xiaodou asked this question.
A hint of sorrow flickered across the face of the Goddess of Destiny, Ila.
But she quickly concealed it again, and she did not answer Dou Xiaodou's question.
Instead, she looked at Xiao Xiaoxiao and said with a smile:
"And you? Do you know why I'm doing this?"
Xiao Xiaoxiao looked at the Goddess of Destiny strangely, her eyes filled with confusion.
"Me? How would I know why? Of course I wouldn't know."
"But I'm also curious, what is the reason?"
Hearing Xiao Xiaoxiao say this, the Goddess of Destiny felt some disappointment.
It seemed her time was running out, and she could no longer wait to see the growth of these two little ones under her care.
This was why she felt regret.
She shook her head and ultimately did not reveal the true reason.
However, since the Goddess of Destiny was unwilling to reveal the true reason, Dou Xiaodou was also unwilling to leave.
But this time, the Goddess of Destiny's attitude was unusually firm.
"No, you must go. Say it was I who sent you."
Although Dou Xiaodou was still very reluctant, under the Goddess of Destiny's insistence, he finally compromised.
As he left, Dou Xiaodou was still extremely reluctant, looking back every few steps.
Xiao Xiaoxiao was still very puzzled, not understanding why Dou Xiaodou, who had been so happy earlier, was now like this.
"Why are you so worried?"
Dou Xiaodou said:
"Because I always feel like something bad is going to happen, that's why."
Xiao Xiaoxiao nodded. At this moment, her heart also skipped a beat.
Scenes flashed before her eyes.
The Goddess of Destiny, Ila, was being captured by a winged demon.
This scene was far more serious than the one she had seen of the Immortal-Demon Empire, and it startled her instantly.
Xiao Xiaoxiao became nervous and grabbed Dou Xiaodou's hand, saying:
"I just saw something bad. We can't leave now, let's hurry back!"
However, the moment she turned, another figure appeared in her mind.
She saw a man radiating sacred golden light, holding a scepter.
He rushed out and, before the demons could tear the Goddess of Destiny, Ila, apart, he rescued her.
Then, with his own strength, he swept through countless demons, even the Ten Demon Lords and the Dark Emperor were no match for him.
Seeing that scene, the panic in Xiao Xiaoxiao's heart vanished, replaced by a sense of peace.
She took Dou Xiaodou's hand and said happily:
"Let's go."
Dou Xiaodou scratched his head, looking at Xiao Xiaoxiao in confusion, completely unable to understand why Xiao Xiaoxiao was so nervous one moment and then not the next.
It was utterly baffling.
"What's wrong? Why aren't you going?"
Xiao Xiaoxiao, seeing Dou Xiaodou frozen in place, asked curiously.
Dou Xiaodou asked indignantly:
"What did you just discover? Why are you so jumpy?"
Xiao Xiaoxiao immediately revealed a faint smile and said:
"Something with a reasonably good ending, but I can't tell you."
