Scumbag!

Wang Dong'er felt that this person was watching her.

She shivered coldly and stole a glance at Shen Yichen.

Why are you looking at me? Say whatever you want!

Wang Dong'er: "..."

I'm utterly fed up with you, you dog!

So I simply closed my eyes and said what I had to say.

After all, that person didn't give Huo Yun'er any face at all. The enemy of my enemy is my friend!

[Xiao Qi: That depends on what the person looks like.]

What do they look like?

Huabin observed Zhu Lu discreetly.

Zhu Lu was dressed in a black leather jacket, her round face showing signs of baby fat.

[Child of Destiny: Appearance... not that good-looking, is it?]

To be fair, Zhu Lu isn't ugly. According to Shen Yichen's rating, her looks, even if not 90 points, are at least 89.

The key thing is, she has a great figure!

She's so young yet already has a curvaceous figure, with slightly chubby, fleshy thighs that are undeniably alluring.

If there's any flaw, it's only that 'Zhu Family's' heirloom leather jacket that drags her down. She's better suited to a cute style that's both innocent and alluring, rather than that mismatched queen-like look in a leather jacket.

Of course, Huabin doesn't see it that way.

He thought Zhu Lu were too thick. Her looks were also quite ordinary. As for the two ounces of flesh on her chest, he never cared about them. In fact, he thought they were a drawback.

[Xiao Qi: Oh, so... average-looking. It's okay, when it comes to dating, you can't just look at appearances, you have to consider personality.]

Character...

Is Zhu Lu a good person?

Good, even a little too good.

But...

Huabin sighed. He didn't like girls who were like loyal dogs, lacking their own opinions and only following him around.

He admires the feeling of women being just as capable as men.

[Child of Destiny: What if you don't like their personality either?]

[Xiao Qi:...]

So you don't like her at all, inside and out?

Why aren't you resisting?

[Xiao Qi: So you're not going to refuse?]

[Chosen One: Yes, she can help you, and the marriage alliance can also benefit the family.]

[Xiao Qi: You're not a jerk, are you?]

[Child of Destiny: I already said, it wasn't me, it was a friend of mine.]

[Wu Xie: Pfft, I'm dying of laughter. Okay, okay, it's your friend, your friend.]

[The hope of the whole village: So, does your friend like Shen Yichen?]

[The Great Sage Equal to Heaven:???]

[The Great Sage Equal to Heaven: What do I have to do with this?]

[The hope of the whole village: Look, even with Diary Copy, we can still get people to marry for a little help. Unless that person is you, the Diary alone is enough to make things happen.]

Those words were a wake-up call!

Huabin felt the fog in his mind instantly dissipate, and everything became clear.

That's right, with the help of my Diary, I don't need an arranged marriage or Martial Soul Fusion Skill to become a powerful figure!

"Zhu Lu, there's something I want to tell you."

"Um?"

Zhu Lu was still enthusiastically introducing every plant and tree in Shrek to Huabin.

Before coming to Shrek, she did her homework in advance, worried that she wouldn't have anything in common to talk about when she strolled around the campus with Huabin.

Huabin's tone suddenly became so solemn, and Zhu Lu's eyes also became a little moist.

She's very perceptive; she doesn't say anything, but that doesn't mean she hasn't noticed.

Looking at Zhu Lu's pitiful and helpless expression, Huabin gritted his teeth, his heart hardening, and said, "Zhu Lu, I don't like you. From now on, our engagement is null and void. I'm sorry!"

Barbecue stalls have already been set up along the shore of Sea God Lake.

The Ice Demon-Slaying Technique is as simple as eating and drinking to extinguish the evil Evil Fire of the Evil Fire Phoenix.

After the group found Ma Xiaotao, Snow Empress simply raised her hand, and purple ice crystals spread towards Ma Xiaotao.

Soon, the Evil Fire Phoenix transformed into a pure fire phoenix.

However, without the Evil Fire, the Evil Fire Phoenix's essence is lost, and Ma Xiaotao's talent will be somewhat affected.

"Don't worry, Sister Xiaotao. I've already sent people to Sunset Forest to find the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Once we retrieve the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, the loss of our Martial Soul Origin will be easily made up!"

"Mmm!" Ma Xiaotao wanted to stick to Shen Yichen. Her younger brother had just returned and solved the problem of her Martial Soul Evil Fire that had troubled her for many years.

So touching, so incredibly touching!

"Yichen... I've missed you so much all these years..."

On the other side, Ice Empress made a funny face and muttered, "I~ miss~ you~ so much~"

"Pfft." Wang Dong'er chuckled.

She didn't have the same jealousy as Ice Empress.

He had known all along that Shen Yichen had ambiguous relationships with many people. If you really had to guess, he was the one who came later.

Hearing Ice Empress's sarcastic tone, Shen Yichen curled his lips and gave Ice Empress a look.

Having spent so much time together, Ice Empress knew exactly what pose Shen Yichen wanted her to strike with just a glance... ahem...

Ice Empress slowly moved between Shen Yichen and Ma Xiaotao. Shen Yichen reached out and pulled Ice Empress into his arms like a doll.

Ice Empress looked somewhat bewildered. Wasn't Ma Xiaotao still clinging to his arm? How dare he do this?

"Sister Xiaotao, you've seen it yourself. Over the years, I've had quite a few lovers. Are you still willing to...?"

Before Shen Yichen could finish speaking, a slender finger pressed against his lips.

"Of course I know!" Ma Xiaotao pinched Shen Yichen's cheek. "Six years ago, right here, I said I would marry you along with Sister Lexuan. Although... there's more than just Sister Lexuan now, but... I've made up my mind about you!"

She's always been like this—stubborn and headstrong; once she's made up her mind, no one can change it!

"Good!"

Wang Dong'er clicked her tongue, "If that chosen one in the group were half as much of a scumbag as you, he wouldn't be asking around the group like this."

Shen Yichen: "..."

Although I don't know if that person is Huabin, it's... pretty much it.

As for Huabin, you could say he's purely in love, but he's not entirely pure; you could say he's a scumbag, but he's not that much of a scumbag either.

If he were truly to be a complete scoundrel, treating Zhu Lu as a political marriage and doing whatever he wanted outside, Zhu Lu, with her personality, would probably just turn a blind eye.

If he truly wanted pure love, he should have said so earlier if he didn't like her, instead of hesitating...

To put it bluntly, he's just like his father Dai Hao.

If it weren't for Huo Yuhao, and his relationship with Zhu Lu had continued normally, they could very well have become the second White Tiger Duke!

Unfortunately, Huabin was tricked by Huo Yuhao and Tang San, and ended up disabled.

What utter nonsense! He finally realized he liked Zhu Lu; well, that's just wishful thinking.

Whether it's love or not is another matter, but a girl has disfigured herself and lost an arm for you. If you don't show some gratitude, then it's a matter of conscience.

"Baby, I'm not a jerk. My heart is just broken into many pieces, and each piece houses a different person."

"Come on, who would believe that..."

Turning her head, Wang Dong'er saw Ma Xiaotao's unwavering expression.

Damn! How can anyone actually believe his nonsense?!

Even...

Wang Dong'er glanced at Snow Empress and Ice Empress; neither of them seemed to doubt this statement.

Could it be that I'm the one who's acting strangely?!
