If one had to use a specific term to describe Wang Dong'er's previous state of mind, then "hot-blooded impulsiveness" would have been the perfect fit.
Back when she had dressed as a boy, she had wished Huo Yuhao's eyes would be on her at every moment. After the incident with the Death God Emissary, when Huo Yuhao had inadvertently protected her, coupled with the psychological suggestions Tang Shenwang occasionally planted, her attitude toward Huo Yuhao had become somewhat unhealthy.
She was both repulsed by his appearance after being altered by the Titan Snow Demon bloodline and unable to resist drawing close to him because of the affection in her heart.
Watching Huo Yuhao gradually drift away from her, even planning to leave Shrek Academy, Wang Dong'er could no longer hold back. In a moment of impulsiveness, she revealed her identity as a girl. This could be said to have been her last chance. With Tang Shenwang's seal upon her, she was practically an Earth-Bound Spirit bound by both the Tang Sect and Shrek. There was no way for her to run.
If her feminine appearance could not attract Huo Yuhao, then as an Earth-Bound Spirit, she truly would never be able to find him again.
Fortunately, the effect of a dog leash was to bind itself one hundred percent around a dog's neck. Such a bug-like conceptual ability had, as expected, turned Huo Yuhao into an Earth-Bound Spirit as well.
Huo Yuhao: What does Shrek's connection to Evil Soul Masters have to do with me? As long as I don't become an Evil Soul Master, isn't that enough?
And so, with a clear conscience, he gave up the idea of making a run for it.
The reason they had fallen into this drawn-out push-and-pull phase was also Wang Dong'er's doing.
