The Wolf with a Barbed Hook

Shrek City

In the courtyard

Huo Yuhao sat listlessly on the threshold, while Wang Dong'er, filled with guilt, stayed by his side.

Suddenly, Huo Yuhao's pupils dilated and fluctuated violently.

' Yuhao, stay calm! Don't let anyone notice anything unusual about you!'

That voice, is it Mom's?!

If it were a year or so ago, Huo Yuhao, at the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, might have really been making a big fuss.

However, after more than a year of training in the Body Sect and the Star Dou Great Forest, although he still couldn't completely hide his emotions, he was able to control them to some extent.

However, while he was trying his best to keep his expression steady, he didn't notice that Wang Dong'er's expression beside him also changed suddenly.

' Yuhao, Mom is now entrusting her Sea of Consciousness to you, and can only communicate with you like this.'

Mom, you're not dead?

'Our Divine Power is too low, so you can't talk to Mom right now.'

'I'm here with you..., please eat well..., Mom loves you...'

Huo Yun'er's eyes widened. What was going on? Why did her words suddenly change?

'Mom loves you (Diary)'

Huo Yun'er:!!

[Ding, the Diary System version update is complete.]

[The following rules have been updated:]

[I. The recorder will nullify all offensive actions taken by the holder.]

[II. Information may only be exchanged between the holder and the recorder.]

Other changes in this update include:

[1. Three additional Diary Copy will be distributed.]

[2. The quality of rewards for Current Affairs Review has been improved.]

Huo Yun'er stared intently at the second rule, and could only resort to internal communication?!

In an instant, Huo Yun'er was stunned.

"Yuhao, wait a moment, Mom will think of something..."

[Huo Yun'er: Everyone, have you seen the two rules that the system updated?]

[Du Busi: I saw it, but it doesn't affect me much.]

[Huo Yun'er: When I was about to tell Yuhao the contents of my diary, I found that the words changed as soon as they left my mouth.]

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

[Huo Yun'er: Exactly. When I talk to Yuhao about the Diary, the words I say change to "Mommy loves you." Other entries in the Diary are automatically replaced with unrelated phrases.]

Heaven Dou City.

"Hiss..."

Shen Yichen's lips twitched.

I knew something was off!

They were so focused on saving their own lives that they forgot about Huo Yun'er and Huo Yuhao's situation.

Now, is Huo Yuhao going to be killed by his own rules?

I just gave Huo Yun'er some advice, and then I sealed it away. If I were Huo Yun'er, I would definitely slap myself twice.

This internal struggle between the left and right hemispheres is really mind-bending!

[The Great Sage Equal to Heaven: Uh, I have a plan!]

Upon hearing Shen Yichen's words, Huo Yun'er's eyes instantly lit up.

[Huo Yun'er: Please, Great Sage, teach me!]

[The Great Sage Equal to Heaven: No rule is ever perfect; there are always loopholes!]

[The Great Sage Equal to Heaven: Since you can't reveal the contents of the diary or the Diary, then skip the details and just tell Huo Yuhao Wang Dong'er be careful of Wang Dong'er and not to date her, or at least to take control of the situation.]

Huo Yun'er was about to say thank you.

[Xiao Qi: Why can't Huo Yuhao date Wang Dong'er?]

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

Xiao Qi?!

This nickname directly brought out Shen Yichen's Ptsd.

Although the Diary didn't mention Xiao Qi, he knew that Xiao Qi was Tang Wutong.

So, is Xiao Qi now Wang Dong'er?

But didn't I remember that after Wang Dong'er descended to the mortal realm, her memories became confused, and she couldn't remember anything about the Divine Realm?

[Du Busi: Oh? A newbie here so quickly? Shouldn't you read through the previous entries to get used to it?]

[Black Dragon: If you don't have time to read the diary, but want to keep up with our conversations, you'd better read a few of our Current Affairs Review articles.]

[Sparkling: Thanks for reminding me, I'll go check it out right away.]

While Shen Yichen was deep in thought and the others were reading diaries about Current Affairs Review, Huo Yun'er began a new round of experiments.

'Yuhao, watch out for Wang Dong.'

Did those words... get out?

Huo Yuhao was taken aback and subconsciously turned his head to look at Wang Dong beside him.

Because of her mother's passing, Wang Dong has spent a lot of time by her side these past few days comforting her.

But why did Mom tell me to be careful of Wang Dong?

'Don't date Wang Dong. Even if you do, don't commit fully. Always maintain control.'

Huo Yuhao was filled with doubt: Me? Dating a boy?

Because of insufficient Divine Power, Huo Yuhao was unable to communicate with Huo Yun'er. He could only suppress his doubts.

' Yuhao, you might find what Mom says strange right now, but you must listen to Mom. Mom won't hurt you!'

Huo Yuhao nodded his little head heavily without hesitation.

Huo Yun'er breathed a slight sigh of relief. Yuhao was indeed a filial child. As long as Yuhao was willing to listen to her, even if he couldn't tell the truth, it would prevent many disasters.

Originally, Huo Yun'er was still hesitating between the best and worst options.

But now, Huo Yun'er only has one option left in her mind: to turn to Shen Yichen!

No one understood the power of love better than her; it could blind people and make them lose their minds. If she could guide Yuhao in every word and action, then this approach might not be the best one.

However, it is difficult to convey one's true intentions now, let alone guide Yuhao.

It would be better to have Yuhao ally with Shen Yichen. All I need to do is say one thing: make Yuhao respect Shen Yichen as much as he respects himself. Then, I'll leave everything else to Shen Yichen and Yuhao to handle themselves. The outcome shouldn't be too bad.

' Yuhao, Mom can't cook for you anymore, but you must eat well.'

Huo Yun'er: "..."

She tried to test the boundaries of the rules, and sure enough, the words turned into everyday greetings.

Then let's keep testing!

--

[Reader: I've finished reading the Current Affairs Review section. I have a question: are the contents of the diary all true?]

[Sparkling: I have the same question.]

[Reader's note: Because, besides the Current Affairs Review section, the Daily Essays section also has flaws.]

It seems like one problem after another is brewing.

Just as I was recovering from the nickname "Xiao Qi," the authenticity of the diary was questioned again.

Shen Yichen clicked his tongue slightly.

He had already anticipated this. The reason why Du Busi and the others didn't suspect anything was because, in addition to their Daily Essays, they would periodically produce a nearly perfectly accurate Current Affairs Review as evidence. Over time, they gradually came to believe in the authenticity of their Daily Essays.

However, newcomers who read through a year's worth of Daily Essays and Current Affairs Review will easily spot the problems.

After all, even if the setting is ten thousand years ago, there are still many inconsistencies between the lines.

[The Great Sage Equal to Heaven: Actually, I've had my suspicions for a long time. The Daily Essays section is more like a novel than a factual account.]

Hooked Wolf!

There's no way to hide it anymore, so I might as well make a show of it and infiltrate the ranks.

After all, right now they only suspect that Xiao Yan the diary nonsense, not that he is the Great Sage Equal to Heaven or Shen Yichen!
