Tang San Wasn't Some Beautiful Idiot

[That guy Dai Huabin wouldn't be careless like Wang Dong'er. He'd already released his White Tiger Martial Soul, and he definitely wouldn't hold back on his Soul Skills now. Huo Yuhao probably couldn't take him!]

[Dai Huabin was a freak of nature, too. His personality was so absurd, it was hard to believe he was the biological son of White Tiger Duke Dai Hao. His older brother, Dai Yueheng, and his younger brothers, Huo Yuhao and Dai Luoli, were all decent enough. This guy was just pure nonsense.]

[And yet he seemed to be the only one among the White Tiger Duke's sons who had a fiancée and could work with someone from the Zhu Family to perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Here's the thing: to perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, their Martial Souls had to be highly compatible and the users had to be of one heart. But this guy still managed to fall for someone else—the Wang Qiu'er who was the transformed form of the Three-Eyed Golden Appearance.]

[Although Dai Huabin eventually saw where his heart truly lay in Qiankun Asking Love Valley, I have to say, this guy was still pretty absurd.]

[Speaking of which, what happened to Dai Huabin later on? If I remember right, he went to the Spirit Pagoda once, got a Soul Spirit, and then pretty much disappeared from the story, didn't he?]

[Seriously, that ending was absurd, too. Huo Yuhao, you swore to wipe out the White Tiger bloodline of the Dai Family, but then you ascended to the Divine Realm and took the Dai name. And you even let the White Tiger Duchess—the biggest culprit behind your mother Huo Yun'er's death—and Dai Huabin off the hook.]

[If the Huo Yuhao of this period could see the future Huo Yuhao, he'd drop dead on the spot.]

The scene of the two fighting was too bloody and brutal for Ao Yao to watch, so he could only grumble to himself.

Just as he'd written in his Diary, Dai Huabin wasn't as arrogant as Wang Dong'er. He'd used a Soul Skill as soon as he attacked, beating Huo Yuhao so badly that he could barely cope. By now, Huo Yuhao's face was already swollen and bruised.

Of course, Dai Huabin hadn't gone for the kill. He'd kept his actions and the force he used well within bounds.

Even if all else failed, that old geezer Mu En was lying right beside them. Huo Yuhao's life was certainly not in danger, but he was bound to suffer.

Huo Yuhao was already regretting his oath. He really had been carried away by passion just then, and hadn't thought things through before acting rashly.

It wasn't that he'd overestimated himself and brought this on himself.

But Brother Sky Dream had no way to step in.

With Brother Sky Dream's warning, Huo Yuhao had realized that the old man lying in a recliner nearby, looking as though he were on his last legs, was actually a hidden powerhouse. That was why Brother Sky Dream didn't dare reveal himself lightly.

"It's all right, Yuhao. Just hang in there a little longer. Once you reach level twenty, I'll take you to the Far North to get your Second Martial Soul. Then, everyone who's ever bullied you or looked down on you will pay the price!"

As Brother Sky Dream fed him those promises, Huo Yuhao took Dai Huabin's beating without a word, but silently added this debt to his account.

Once I get my Second Martial Soul...

Dai Huabin, I'll make you pay!

For today's humiliation... For the pain of losing my mother, I'll make you pay in blood!

Girls' dormitory.

Zhu Lu was lying on her bed, her expression stiffening slightly.

Ever since she'd gotten this Diary and joined that group, Zhu Lu had never spoken. She'd only silently browsed its contents. She'd never once thought about approaching Ao Yao or trying to get her name mentioned more often in the Diary.

Dai Huabin was her fiancé. Although their feelings for each other weren't especially deep yet, Zhu Lu had long since decided in her heart that Dai Huabin was the only one she would ever love.

In Zhu Lu's eyes, approaching another boy just to get a few rewards would undoubtedly be a betrayal of her beloved.

But what Zhu Lu hadn't expected was that she would see the thing she least wanted to see in this Diary.

Dai Huabin would... fall in love with someone else?

Zhu Lu's pretty face instantly turned pale, and disbelief flashed through her eyes.

That meant Dai Huabin didn't love her as much as she'd imagined. Everything she'd thought before had only been wishful thinking.

Zhu Lu couldn't help pressing a hand to her heaving chest. She felt a dull ache there.

Star Dou Great Forest.

The Three-Eyed Golden Appearance was curled up, bored out of her mind. But when she saw the Diary's contents, she sprang up like a carp leaping out of water.

Wait, why was there stuff about me in this Diary?

That guy called Dai Huabin had fallen in love with me after I transformed into a human?

That one simple sentence brought back unpleasant memories for the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

The thought of transforming into a human with Tang Wutong's face—and then sacrificing herself for Huo Yuhao in the future—made the Three-Eyed Golden Lion shiver.

She instinctively glanced back at her Lord, who was resting with his eyes closed, and suspicion flickered in the depths of her eyes once more.

Her Lord really didn't seem all that reliable...

Could she really protect me?

[Finally, the fight's over... Huo Yuhao's having a rough time of it. He got beaten into a pulp on his very first day at school. He was only decent-looking to begin with, and now he's completely ruined.]

[If Mu En hadn't stepped in, I feel like Dai Huabin really would have beaten Huo Yuhao so badly he couldn't get out of bed.]

[But... Wang Dong'er really didn't step in to help? Even without Tang San controlling her, that doesn't seem like her. She's not the type to stand by and watch someone weaker get bullied. Wang Dong'er actually didn't help him...]

[Something's off! This is twelve kinds of wrong!]

Ao Yao still hadn't realized that Wang Dong'er could see his Diary. He only felt that things had gone completely off the rails.

Could Tang San's plan, after a thousand years in the making, really have gone wrong?

Tang San wasn't some beautiful idiot like LeBlanc. Surely he could figure something this simple out?

"Kid, you're lucky today. If I catch you trying anything again, don't say I didn't warn you!"

Dai Huabin glared viciously at Huo Yuhao before turning to leave.

Before he went, Dai Huabin even spat disdainfully at the ground beside Huo Yuhao.

He hadn't spat directly on Huo Yuhao, but Huo Yuhao still felt deeply humiliated.

If I don't avenge this... I'm no man!

"There's nothing more to see. Shall we go eat?"

After watching Huo Yuhao get beaten from beginning to end with cold eyes, Wang Dong'er felt pleased, but showed none of it on her face. She only gave him a perfectly measured smile. "Or were you thinking of doing a good deed and taking this student to his dorm?"

Wait, why are you stealing my line?

The normal sequence was for you to help Huo Yuhao defeat Dai Huabin, then take him back to the dorm and help him treat his wounds!

You really think it's appropriate to say that now?
