Chapter 207 Where is Home Across the Ends of the Earth?
(Dingtian Novel Residence.dtxsj.) "Stone!!!" Huoqian roared, almost spitting fire.
Shi Tou quickly reassured him, "Don't worry, don't worry, she has clothes. I'll dress her right away."
She quickly took out clothes from the ring space. Poor Doragar only had one set of clothes, the palace dress she wore when she was kidnapped.
Huo Tong turned his back and urged Shi Tou to get started quickly.
This time, Stone was quite obedient. Soon, Doragar was dressed in a different outfit by Stone: "Alright, your sister is all packed up, dear, please check!"
Huoqian turned around and snapped, "What's going on? She... wait, that's palace attire, she is..."
“Yes, just like you guessed.” Stone nodded, though she had no idea what palace attire was. In her opinion, Doragarl’s outfit was too pink, too gorgeous, and too intricate.
“Princess…” Huoqian closed his eyes and sighed, “You actually kidnapped the princess of the Luoming Empire. Are they going to issue a warrant for your arrest?”
"Yes, yes, I sacrificed a lot for you, and now look what happened? The fourth prince and fifth princess of the Fallen Nether Empire have put me on the wanted list, and I can't go back now."
Shi Tou shrugged, indicating that she had really put in a lot of effort for this matter, and well, it would be even more worthwhile if there were some kind of reward.
"So what are you planning to do after this? Go back to the Dwarf Kingdom?"
"No way!" Stone shook his head decisively. "I hate that shit-eating elder!"
The Elder Who Eats Shit = Elder Red Stone. It was thanks to his insistence that Stone left the Dwarf Kingdom.
Huo Qian paused for a moment: "Elder Chi Shi is getting old. He stepped down from his position as elder two years ago."
"So what? I'm not going back anyway. Besides, Doragar has already been sent back to you. What would it mean if I went back?"
The fire tongs lowered their heads. [ ] They did not open their mouths.
"Whatever, Doragar is yours now, so you'd better keep a close eye on her. If anything happens again, I won't be working for you for free." Sigh, at least other companies offer cash on delivery, why is it like I'm working for free here?
Stone had completely forgotten about the looted ore warehouse when he left the dwarf kingdom.
"Wait a minute! You almost fooled me!" Huoqian was about to reach out and hug Doragar when he suddenly slapped his head hard: "Stone!"
Stone was startled and flung the Doragar he was holding onto the bed where he had just been lying, making a startling sound.
"Huh? What happened? This is indecent assault!"
Although Doragar was knocked unconscious by the stone, she wasn't dead. The force of the fall woke her up immediately.
"I've already dressed you, stop howling." Actually, what Stone really wanted to say was, "What's wrong with your figure anyway? What's there to yell about?"
"All changed..." Doragar looked down at her neatly dressed body and breathed a sigh of relief. But then, she unleashed an extremely terrifying sonic attack: "Awooo~~~"
Stone jumped back and landed right on Luo Pipi's hand.
"Ah! Duo'er, what are you doing?" Luo Pipi cried out in pain, gasping for breath and shaking her hand.
"You'll have to ask Doragar. Hey, Doragar. What exactly do you want? I already dressed you." Stone looked at Doragar with dissatisfaction.
"Waaaaah, you're the one who dressed me in these clothes?" Doragar pointed at the stone with a trembling hand.
Shi Tou nodded, then added after thinking for a moment, "I changed it for you. I guarantee that I didn't touch you with the fire tongs or peek."
"Fire tongs?"
"It's him."
Doragar glanced at the dwarf fire tongs who was about the same height as her: "Didn't he see?"
"No!" This time it was the fire tongs that spoke.
Wiping away her tears with a wronged expression, Doragar pointed to Luo Pipi sitting on the ground and asked, "What about him?"
Stone followed Doragar's finger and looked at Luo Pipi together: "Her? Oh, when I was changing your clothes earlier, she didn't turn around. Hmm, I think she saw you."
"Awoo~~~"
The only response to the stone was Doragar's wailing, a mixture of shame and anger.
Stone blinked innocently at Luo Pipi: "Did you see that?"
Luo Pipi's lips twitched violently, and she reached out and tapped Shi Tou on the forehead: "Idiot Duo'er! The point isn't whether I saw it or not, the point is that you didn't tell her I'm a girl!"
"Oh!" Stone exclaimed in sudden realization, "Dora Jiaer, let me tell you, Luo Pipi is a woman, and she has a better figure than you!"
Doragar stopped crying as soon as she heard Luo Pipi's words, and looked at Luo Pipi with a surprised expression: "You're a girl?"
"Your woman?!"
Huoqian asked this question, and after asking, he took a step closer in disbelief: "My God! You're really a woman?"
Luo Pipi felt that if she hadn't been injured and her powers greatly diminished a few years ago, she would have stabbed this dwarf to death with her sword: "What's wrong? Don't I look like a woman?!"
The fire tongs quickly took a step back: "It's just like it! It's just like it!"
"Dora Jiaer, are you relieved now? Your innocence is still intact. You can marry whomever you want in the future." Stone walked to Dora Jiaer's side and comforted her in a low voice, "By the way, Huoqian, have you talked to your parents...?"
"I had no idea you would suddenly come back. How am I going to tell my parents?"
"Then you should go back first and at least explain things clearly. Of course, it would be best if you could get Mom and Dad to come out. I don't plan to go back to the Dwarf Kingdom."
Huoqian hesitated for a moment: "Aren't you going back?"
"Yes."
"Let's go back and see. Dad might come up again. Mom hasn't come up for over ten years, and neither have my brothers. By the way, Elder Chishi has really retired. He usually stays at home now and rarely goes out."
"No, it's my own choice not to go back, and it's not just about Elder Chishi. As for my brothers, if they want to come, they can come; if they don't, then we're just not meant to be."
Stone was the kind of person who wouldn't change her mind once she made up her mind. Seeing that Fire Pliers wanted to persuade her again, she interrupted her directly: "Actually, more importantly, I don't want to see those dwarves who used to like me see me like this. Fire Pliers, I am human, a human through and through."
Huoqian pursed his lips, but ultimately decided not to try to persuade him any further: "Alright, I'll go back now. Yeah, I'll definitely be back tomorrow, or at the latest the day after."
"Okay, I'll wait for you. I'll take good care of Doragar."
Watching Huoqian leave, Shitou plopped down on the edge of the bed. Luo Pipi frowned and sat down next to Shitou as well: "Duo'er, who is he? Why does he call you Shitou?"
Stone hesitated for a moment: "Luo Pipi, can I trust you?"
"Of course, we're already friends."
Shi Tou chuckled self-deprecatingly, recalling her past life. Back then, even the closest friends often had many secrets. Conversely, online acquaintances who had never met in person talked more and were more likely to share secrets.
“Alright, we’re friends.” Stone sighed and reached out to pull Ladora Jiaer down. “You sit down too. There are some things I’ve never known how to tell you, so let’s just talk it out today.”
After gathering her thoughts, Stone told the two of them everything that had happened in the Dwarf Kingdom. Of course, she wouldn't tell either of them the secret of her time travel.
"Duo'er, are you saying that you were originally the little princess of the Dwarf Kingdom... Stone?" Upon hearing this name, Luo Pipi couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.
Stone took out a bright red gemstone that he had kept well from the ring's space: "Look, when I turned one year old, my father held a grand first birthday celebration for me. That time, I picked up this ruby."
Luo Pipi looked at the ruby with some confusion: "The quality is very good, but I still don't understand why you call it a stone?"
"Because it's just a stone! In the eyes of the dwarves, it's just a stone."
"No, Xiaoyi, it's a ruby! It's even prettier than the birthday present my third brother gave me!" Doragar looked at the ruby in Stone's hand with envy.
Third brother?
Stone paused for a moment before remembering that it seemed the King of the Fallen Empire only had three biological children. One had died, one had been replaced, and only the Third Prince remained as his biological son.
"Doragard, are you talking about the Third Prince? How is he...?" Although Stone has seven older brothers, in fact, the Third Prince of the Fallen Empire is her real older brother.
"Third brother? He's not in good health and is always sick, but he loves me very much." Doragar had lived in the palace since childhood. Because of her special status, despite her parents' love, people would always gossip about her. Therefore, she was more perceptive than ordinary people about whether others were truly sincere towards her.
"Dora Jiaer, you actually have seven older brothers, and they are all very good. You will definitely be very happy in the future." Stone had just given a general overview of the situation, and after seeing the fire tongs, Dora Jiaer understood why her fifth sister always disliked her.
"But..." Although she already had a premonition, Doragar was still very unhappy: "Does that mean I won't be able to see my father and mother anymore? What if I miss them?"
Stone sighed. If this were her past life, she would have said, "We'll meet again someday." But this wasn't the country with advanced transportation and low levels of racial discrimination she knew. This was another world, where dwarves lived in underground cities where sunlight never reached.
To meet again... I'm afraid it will only be in my dreams.
"Doragard, I'm sorry, I promised your parents or brothers that I would bring you back." At least Doragard will eventually have a home of her own, but what about her? Where is her home?

In the next chapter, Stone will finally be able to see the dwarves. Who should be introduced to them?

Chapter 208: Eldest Brother Flame is Getting Married
(Dingtian Novel Website.dtxsj.) "My poor stone!"
"Tell me, where did you take her? Hand her over right now!"
Early in the morning, the small tree hole was unusually lively. Several dwarfs were shouting and yelling around Luo Pipi, and even touching her roughly, almost tearing her apart.
Yesterday, seeing that the small tree hole couldn't possibly accommodate so many people, Stone moved Doragar back into the ring space, and then went in herself, leaving Luo Pipi all alone on the bed inside the tree hole.
So when Stone pulled Doragar out of the ring space, they saw this tragic scene.
"My God! What's going on? Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother?!"
If Stone were to recall what her brothers looked like, Chapter 210 says, "There are many pretty little stones waiting to be given to you, but..."
Stone lowered her head, not wanting the flames to see the tears in her eyes.
"Stone, come back! Your mom and dad are waiting for you." The twins looked at the flames and added a word of encouragement.
“But I am a human being,” Stone said with difficulty, gritting his teeth.
"It's alright, we don't care!" The twins each grabbed one of Stone's arms: "Oh dear, Stone, you've grown so tall! We used to carry you every day!"
